In reality, ancient style Hanfu is much harder to pull off than wedding dresses or suits.
Wedding dresses and suits easily highlight elegance; your appearance doesn't need to be overly handsome. As long as your features are decent, and you wear a well-tailored suit, you'll generally look impressive at a glance.
Hanfu is different.
If you're plain-looking, you truly have no advantage, especially regarding the hairline. If your hairline isn't good, wearing this type of clothing can be a torment.
For this, Renz even specially prepared a wig.
Oh.
This isn't to say Renz was balding, but short hair paired with this Hanfu ancient costume looked very mismatched.
It wasn't very attractive.
Paired with a long-haired wig, the combination looked much better.
It's worth noting that, domestically, Hanfu has always had a rather poor reputation, but the problem isn't with Hanfu itself, but with the community that loves Hanfu.
Many people, when Hanfu is mentioned, immediately feel
a sense of dislike.
Why? Because of the pervasive promotion by self-media domestically.
As soon as Hanfu is mentioned, they maliciously use traditional culture to morally bind others, suggesting that if you don't wear Hanfu, then something is wrong.
Such a toxic Hanfu community naturally aroused the
disgust of the vast majority of people.
Young people who dislike Hanfu are criticizing those who barely know anything about traditional culture but believe that by wearing a piece of Hanfu, they understand and are reviving traditional culture, constantly looking down on others.
Wearing Hanfu itself isn't wrong; the error lies in the inherent sense of superiority that comes with wearing it.
It can be said that Hanfu has largely been dragged down by its community.
It's not that it isn't beautiful, nor does it lack intrinsic value, nor can it not be treated as a traditional culture.
Rather, too many people have elevated Hanfu too highly and developed a sense of superiority because of it those self-righteous insiders.
Renz was very pure in his intention.
He wanted to wear Hanfu because it was beautiful and relatively novel. It's rare for people to see Hanfu on Japanese programs.
And three days before the program's filming,
Renz and Erina had already arrived at the villa provided by the production team in the Tokyo suburbs, ready to record the program's content.
As the chief director, Yu Nagasawa would theoretically assign several staff members to each group of guests to
explain the upcoming recording content and direction.
However, facing Erina and Renz, she set aside her status and personally attended to them.
The biggest stars.
Undoubtedly the biggest stars.
Erina was the highest-valued female guest in this
season's program, and Yu Nagasawa personally overseeing this side also expressed her emphasis on the two of them.
Renz and Erina actually brought a team with them to the show this time; they didn't come alone.
Rina Nakiri couldn't possibly be left under Senzaemon Nakiri's full-time care. He was a truly "straightforward" man.
Renz and Erina were quite worried that Senzaemon Nakiri might raise Rina in a distorted way within a short time.
The team was quite simple.
Erina's management team and her best friend, Hisako Arato.
Hisako was diligent and uncomplaining. Even Renz wanted to comment on this: serving as Erina's "utility person" ten years later, then twenty years later.
Shouldn't Erina give such a devoted best friend and
female secretary a lifetime "best friend" bonus?
It must be said,
For a best friend to be this dedicated, Renz himself was speechless. Normally, a wife's best friend often plays a largely negative role.
When family conflicts arise, and the wife seeks out her best friend, the best friend usually deliberately slanders the husband to comfort the wife. Since the husband isn't present, he's completely unable to defend himself. At this point, the wife, who already felt wronged, feels even more wronged after hearing this, and becomes even less willing to compromise.
While claiming to offer comfort, these female best friends often play a crucial counterproductive role.
Husbands would wish to eliminate all such chaotic best friends.
But Hisako Arato was incredibly different.
She was genuinely wholeheartedly devoted to Erina's well-being, and she was a very honest girl who wouldn't speak ill of others.
If Renz and Erina had a conflict, Hisako Arato would only remain silent.
What's even more exasperating is that Hisako Arato, an unmarried woman, was more skilled at taking care of children than Erina, who was a mother.
For this variety show, Renz and Erina were the main focus, and they didn't want their daughter to receive strict, "straightforward" education from the old man.
Lest she grow up to be a muscular strong woman.
So, they had to arrange for the closest person to help take care of little Rina. Hisako Arato became the only "duty-bound" good person.
This is it.
While Renz, Erina, and Yu Nagasawa discussed the key points and details of the first episode's shots, Hisako Arato went to organize the villa provided by the production team for their stay tonight, and simultaneously cared for Rina with Erina's management team.
A newly appointed young lady.
And Chief Director Yu Nagasawa, when she heard that Renz and Erina planned to wear Hanfu for their first episode appearance, was momentarily stunned.
This choice was indeed uncommon.
But despite being uncommon, Yu Nagasawa unexpectedly really liked Renz's choice of Hanfu for the appearance.
Yu Nagasawa hadn't been polluted by the malicious marketing of Hanfu. She simply thought the outfit looked very beautiful.
Renz's assessment of this was that the chief director's aesthetic sense was quite on point.
Leaving aside the external landmines of the Hanfu community, purely from an aesthetic perspective, Hanfu is no less beautiful than any other attire.
Renz and Erina tried on the clothes, and Renz also put on
a black long-haired wig.
As a production team, there were certainly professional makeup artists.
Renz didn't like makeup, but the production team requested that he wear light makeup for the appearance.
According to them, this was a sign of respect for the audience.
Many people are "face-cons" (people who prioritize appearance).
Perhaps many are unwilling to admit it, but they are often very loyal to their tastes. They are willing to look at attractive people for longer, and quickly swipe away those who are not.
The female makeup artist from the production team was preparing to give Renz a Japanese-style makeup. The skill of a professional makeup artist was undeniable.
But Erina gave a pass. Her intention was to do Renz's
makeup herself.
Erina didn't want to apply Japanese-style makeup on Renz; that style didn't match Hanfu well.
Erina's idea was to give Renz an "fantasy" makeup look,
full of ethereal charm.
To be honest,
Even with a professional female makeup artist, the makeup might not be as good as what his wife applies.
When a wife does her husband's makeup, she's definitely aiming for him to look handsome. Who wants their significant other to appear drab on screen?
If he looked too ugly, people might even think Erina had subjected Renz to domestic violence.
Sometimes female makeup artists apply makeup to others just to complete a task, doing it casually.
Erina, however, had no reason to make Renz look ugly.
She meticulously created his look, stroke by stroke.
Seeing her serious and focused expression so close to his
face, Renz was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist touching Erina's hair.
