Why do costume dramas nowadays make people feel very modern, not so classical, or even not?

Why is the costume drama filmed now not classical, which makes people feel very modern and neither fish nor fowl?

First, the cast lost the traditional culture of China.

This is a big social situation, not a simple allusion to the film and television production team. There is no traditional cultural consciousness in people's minds, nor does the audience have this concept. Because many people don't understand history at all, and they don't question it, which leads to the blindness of film and television shooting and audience watching.

Third, there is no good script to be filled by stars.

A good script is the source of life for film and television works, the plot comes first, followed by clothing, art and so on. Of course, this is what the jury wants to see. Isn't it just to let the people watch the fun? This story is attractive enough. However, this is usually impossible. There are several stories like the four classical novels, or "The Tune of the Great Song Dynasty" and "Kangxi Dynasty", with good costume design and classical style. But the producers have a way to make up for this deficiency with popular stars, which is nothing more than watching handsome guys and beautiful women. If you dress up in fashion, the script will be rotten.

Fourth, purely for commercial reasons, we only seek progress, not quality.

In order to ensure the quality of the film, it is necessary to let the actors learn traditional culture for one year, concentrate on training, and invite consultants and scholars as teachers, just like CCTV filmed a dream of red mansions in the past, so that it will have a classical temperament. But that was then, not now. They are all commercial films, which are too expensive to buy. Forty or fifty episodes of a big drama have been filmed for half a year, and even a historical consultant is not needed. Think about it.

Fifth, there are more and more fantasy and immortal works.

In recent years, fantasy novel has become very popular, and there are not a few film and television works produced. This kind of works has a characteristic, there is no clear dynasty, but the characters must be fashionable and modern, with the support of computer special effects, with a little animation flavor. Although it is also called a costume film, it is even more incompatible with the classical style.
