Netflix global synchronized drama series "Marrying a Golden Hairpin" starts airing

China News Service, Beijing, October 16th (Reporter Gao Kai) On the 16th, the costume drama "The Golden Hairpin" directed by Yang Long and written by Zhou Zhen was broadcast on CCTV-8 and Youku, and will be simultaneously launched on Netflix globally.

The play tells the story of A Chou, a young girl who smells night fragrance, who accidentally marries into the Duke's mansion because of her face that resembles the daughter of an uncle's house, starting a counterattack of her identity and rewriting her destiny. As of press time, the number of reservations on both sides of the series website and Weibo has exceeded 5 million.

Director Yang Long said that the slogan "One face, two kinds of ruthlessness, threefold destiny change" on the play's poster is the "hook" of the whole play. "One face" is the core setting. Jun Dai and Wei Rao, played by actress Tian Xiwei, "share" a face, which brings about a strong dramatic conflict with one person playing two roles and an identity crisis throughout. "Two kinds of ruthlessness" distinguish the two characters. Jun Dai's ruthlessness is externalized in her lines and actions, while Wei Rao's ruthlessness is the decisiveness of killing and coming up from the bottom, which stems from the two completely different growth environments. "Triple Fate Change" tells the story of Wei Rao's multiple transformations from a Chou to the Crown Prince's wife, and then to subsequent identity changes, gradually changing his destiny.

Talking about the type of revenge drama, Yang Long believes, "Revenge itself is only the motivation of the characters. The real pleasure of this drama comes from the character changes of 'a low-level character grabs the vine handed by fate and climbs up step by step from the quagmire.' When we think she can't do it, but she can, the audience will feel happy."

The female group portrait is considered to be another highlight of the play. The series brings together a number of powerful actors who have portrayed classic "ruthless characters". In the complex game of identity relationships and fate, they show off their distinctive female faces. Producer Qiu Shui said that every female character in the play is "rebuilding themselves amidst the ruins of fate", and they are ambitious and wonderful in their own way. The play also extends the perspective to the intergenerational relationship between three generations of women, hoping to show the continuation of female power in the passage of time through the fateful entanglement between different generations.

According to reports, in terms of image style, the creative team started from the strongest "dramatic conflict" feature of the script. The art and styling closely followed the title of the drama and strengthened the element of "gold". The clothing fabrics were woven with gold threads, and the environmental furnishings used a large number of gold utensils. They also innovated with red and green contrasting colors and highly saturated bright colors, so that the overall visual fit more closely with the content of the drama.
