Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba is currently the most haunting female lead on the silver screen.
An Lạc Truyện turns out to be a major disappointment for audiences upon its release, being considered a historical drama of lower quality than anticipated. Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba's return continuously draws criticism and negative reactions from the public, especially as she persistently remains beautiful without altering her image.
In a recent scene from An Lạc Truyện, Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba's character continues to face criticism. This time, Nhậm An Lạc and even Prince Hàn Diệp have to pretend to endure a miserable situation, wandering outside like beggars to observe the dire circumstances. While the citizens are suffering, lacking food and clothing, and even Hàn Diệp looks disheveled like never before, Nhậm An Lạc unexpectedly shines with beauty.
Many viewers have noticed that despite portraying a beggar, Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba still applies heavy makeup, thick lipstick, and plenty of powder. She only smudges a little dirt on her face to appear distressed, yet still looks as glamorous as if she were attending a party, managing to deceive the guards into thinking she's a 'genuine' beggar. Some argue that Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba is too fixated on beauty, unwilling to sacrifice her image for the role.
Some even bring up the incident involving Cúc Tịnh Y from years ago, who also caused a stir by portraying a beggar yet looking like a princess in Gia Nam Truyện. Besides the issue of cross-dressing, playing beggars is also a 'pressing' concern for Chinese actresses on screen.
Viewer comments:
- Is she really begging?
- So boring, playing a miserable role yet still refusing to apply makeup.
- Does she think smudging a bit of dirt makes her look like a beggar?
- Seeing Dương Tử struggle in Trường Tương Tư and then watching Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba play beggar scenes while still wearing red lipstick, it's really disappointing...
The disappointment towards Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba grows as she returns in An Lạc Truyện. Alongside the dull plot and poor special effects, her acting regression and constant beautiful appearance are criticized, especially with Dương Tử in Trường Tương Tư being praised for sacrificing for art.
