In The Story of Yan Xi Palace, Chen Youwei played "May Forever", which made him a household name and attracted waves of fans. His acting skills are well displayed in the play, especially some characteristics of Emperor Qianlong, whose facial expressions are natural and micro-expressions are in place. The emperor in the court is unpredictable and his eyebrows are pointed, especially in the finale and subsequent confrontation, his eyebrows are light but he is not angry, and his eyes also contain doubts and disbelief. When making candy with the hostess, you can also switch between male gods and male nerves freely, and you can get it without affectation. Wang Ba is not deliberately expressed in the whole play, but more through eyes and body language. The performance is natural, fluent, emotional and convincing.
However, there are some controversies about the handling of some plots in the play. For example, it is understandable to omit killing pure imperial concubine. After all, you can profile the role image of the virtuous princess empress, but it was poisoned by Mingyu. Some viewers think it should be interpreted. First of all, the revenge of Queen Fu Cha will be rewarded, and the image of the hostess will be fuller.
