Recently, CCTV News news channel published an article praising actor Truong Lang Hach and his martial arts general image with pheasant feathers in the historical drama "Axis of Jade", assessing this as a successful example of the combination of traditional culture and film aesthetics.
CCTV News said that not only pheasant tail feathers, "Jade Axis" has skillfully brought traditional cultural elements such as Qin's hymns, ballet art into the film, helping traditional culture "revive" in the hearts of young audiences.
According to revelations, this hemorrhoid hairstyle was proposed by Truong Lang Hach himself. In the stage of building the image for the character Ta Chinh, the male actor was inspired by the image of a martial general in the game, proactively proposing to add hemorrhoid hair details to the character he plays.
To ensure no cultural distortion, he also looked up historical documents, confirming that this element in ancient times symbolizes the victorious general, showing courage, not belonging to a specific character, and then decided to apply it.
Scholars in costume history also explain that this image belongs to the category of hymical costumes. Classic characters such as Lu Bu or Mu Quế Anh all use, the flying movements of hemp hair help increase morale, clearly depicting the image of a young general full of bravery.
However, social networks are also arguing about the image of General Truong Lang Hach. Many opinions say that this character is too meticulous: neat hair, overly neat clothes and meticulously groomed makeup.
Truong Lang Hach was ridiculed as a "foundation general", and compared to Ha Nhuan Dong's famous martial arts general image in the role of Xiang Yu in the movie "The Legend of Han Chu". Many people commented that Truong Lang Hach lacked the crudeness and authenticity of a true general.
Some opinions also suggest that the problem is not in the general's appearance with feather but because Truong Lang Hach's acting and expressions have not shown the courageous and majestic spirit of a general.
Meanwhile, despite being involved in controversy, "Axis of Jade" still maintains impressive achievements on the charts. According to Yunhe statistics, "Axis of Jade" reached 101 million views on March 26, accounting for 48% of the total market share of Chinese online movies today.
At one point, "Jade Axis" accounted for more than 50% of the market share, far exceeding the works airing simultaneously.
