New Red Mansion: Can Costumes Follow The Background Of The Original?

I have always been puzzled about the question of Dream of Red Mansions costumes. To add a few words, the first Shaoxing Opera "A Dream of Red Mansions" in which Daiyu played the role of Ms. Wang Wenjuan, the wife of the famous performing artist Mr. Sun Daolin, was quite good. Although the play was short, the tragic feelings of the characters in the play were fully expressed. Among them, the marriage of Dai Shibao made people cry, which was unmatched by the original TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions". Maybe it is influenced by the Yue Opera. I think the costumes of the original TV play, to a certain extent, follow the style of the costumes of the Yue Opera (including the makeup of the characters, clothing, modeling, props, etc.), which is very beautiful. But if we still copy the original costumes this time, it seems a bit old-fashioned, unchanged, and not new, and it does not conform to the aesthetic tastes of modern people.
From the photos of the new "Dream of Red Mansions" characters making up, the facial makeup is really unacceptable. It can be said that it looks like a ghost. Too ugly makes people look beautiful in the eyes of the audience! Ordinarily, TV plays should be closer to nature, which is natural makeup. I think the costumes of the original TV play are more in line with people's image. So the new "Red" characters' facial makeup must be changed! What's more, is it really true that the whole modeling of the new red figures is not dramatic, especially the wig and accessories on Daiyu's head are all costumes, and is it not cumbersome for the ancient people to wear them like that? It's really not pretty. If the filming preparation is not enough, it will be postponed until it is ready. Going on like this is really a waste of money and I'm sorry for the audience. It's just the editors and directors who are acting out of character! It's better to remake it as it is.
If you want to make the costumes of the new play more acceptable, I suggest you follow a little history. In detail, the character modeling of either the Yueju Opera, the original play or the new play A Dream of Red Mansions does not conform to the historical character prototype. Although "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a novel, the specific historical time background is not very clear, but according to the opinion of most Redologists, it occurred in the Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty, so the costumes of the new "A Dream of Red Mansions" might as well be designed according to the costumes of the Han people in the Manchu and Qing dynasties. If it is an official, it may be no different from the Manchu people. To be honest, I don't like the costumes of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Maybe many people don't like them and they are not good-looking, but they can more realistically reproduce the "original appearance" of the characters; Moreover, it can make the audience look a little different from the original play and have a little fresh feeling. In fact, it is also the correct return of character modeling. Now there are many Qing Dynasty dramas, which basically cover all periods of the Qing Dynasty. People have already highly recognized the Qing Dynasty characters in these dramas. Wouldn't it be nice to use them for Red? I said that the costumes of the new TV drama Dream of Red Mansions are designed according to the costumes of the Qing Dynasty, which is the best idea. It will have groundbreaking new ideas and artistic effects!
