For domestic drama fans, director Zheng Xiaolong is equivalent to "quality assurance", "Beijingers in New York", "Red Sorghum" (drama version), "Golden Marriage", "The Biography of Zhen Huan" are all from the hands of Zheng Dao, a "Biography of Zhen Huan", the Douban score is as high as 9.3, and it is still the "costume drama ceiling" in the minds of countless audiences, and the ancient court aesthetic style in the play has also become the object of emulation of many costume dramas.
In terms of movies, Zheng director has previously directed a "Gua Sha", the story "aims" at the differences and collisions between Chinese and Western cultures, and the Douban score is also 7.5. After many years, Zheng Xiaolong's new big-screen work "Turandot: The Origin of the Spell" finally came, and on October 15, it was released nationwide.
Judging from the stills and trailers that have been exposed so far, this film adapted from the opera "Turandot" is worth seeing.
Whether it is Guan Xiaotong's "flower makeup", Hu Jun's eye killing, Jiang Wen's imperial aura, or France's eternal "white moonlight" Sophie Marceau, there is beauty and more hormones.
And the setting in the trailer and tidbits is also amazing. I have to say that the ancient court aesthetics that director Zheng Xiaolong is good at seems to have been upgraded in this movie, showing a strong sense of fairy tales.
The night street market with thousands of lights, the Khandu Palace que step by step, the textile hall full of Chinese style...
Put a few pictures and feel free to feel it:
It is worth mentioning that there are a large number of fireworks scenes in the film, and the use of fireworks in other film and television drama works is very different, departing from the simple brilliance and beauty, but incorporating a lot of interesting Chinese element imagery: tenglong, flying phoenix, paper umbrella, flower sea... Bringing together culture, meaning and visual enjoyment.
Imagine how spectacular the Chinese-style fireworks in 3D are! I rubbed my hands in excitement
Of course, in addition to the simple visual gluttony, director Zheng Xiaolong has integrated this fairy tale that shines on the European opera stage with Eastern culture in various ways, and this integration is not difficult to see from both the cast and the production team, zheng Xiaolong is still familiar with how to grasp the opposition, conflict and integration between Chinese and Western cultures.
This time, Princess Turandot, played by Guan Xiaotong, is deeply trapped in a mysterious spell, and only by solving the three mysteries corresponding to the tricolor bracelet can she be saved from the spell, and the "blue eyes" played by Dylan Sprows from Italy have become the ones who gamble their lives to solve the puzzle.
The love story of East and West is quite interesting, and the fusion of two cultures and the ultimate harmony and unity require more details and ingenuity.
In addition to the literary drama, the martial arts part shown in the trailer is also very eye-catching.
Whether it is a group battle or a fight scene with several leading actors, you can see the careful design that meets the characteristics of the storyline and characters, especially the sword dance rivalry between Guan Xiaotong and Dylan Spross, which contains a kind of poetic beauty. The point is that I believe that I can definitely meet the needs of sugar fans
Such an oriental fairy tale, to tell the truth, is a bit impatient for this weekend!
