boisterous.
This box "Wind Rises Luoyang" and "Who is the Murderer" have staged "only one murderer" in ancient times; there is "Female Psychologist" meets "Sleeping Garden" focusing on psychological topics; "Small Series" new work "Xiao Minjia" focuses on life, and Zhou Xun Huanglei cooperates to interpret the love of middle-aged people after 19 years.
Last night, the only male frequency IP adaptation player, "Snow in the Knife Line", also stepped on the tail of 2021, thousands of calls began to come out, joining this Q4 drama melee, and the entire drama market became more lively.
"Little two, serve wine." In the first version of the trailer of "Sword In the Snow" released on July 12 this year, Xu Fengnian, played by Zhang Ruoyun, said the first sentence. This once again greatly raised the expectations of fans of the original work, and the original novel of "Knife Row in the Snow" was also known as "Little Two on wine" when it was updated.
Written by Wang Ti, starring Zhang Ruoyun, Tencent Pictures with Xinli, in the eyes of film and television audiences who are not familiar with male frequency novels, "Snow in the Knife Line" is a pre-staged "Qing Yu Nian 2".
Perhaps in response to "Xiao Er shangjiu", in the process of waiting for the series to be launched, fans used the lines of the important character Li Chungang, the original text was: Li Chungang shouted: "The sword comes!" Hundreds of swords of all the swordsmen of Huishan were sheathed at the same time and flew towards the snowy plain. In the first time of broadcasting, the first batch of comments poured into Douban, everyone commented in unison: "Key to come." (Indeed, it is the keyboard key.) ）
Who is looking forward to "Knife In the Snow"?
The adaptation of "Knife Row in the Snow" is deeply involved by fans.
When it was still serialized, the author of the Beacon Theatre Prince updated the adaptation progress in real time on Weibo: in 2014, the drama and film copyright were packaged and sold to Xinli, the 2015 "Knife Line in the Snow" ended, in 2017, the author posted on Weibo that he liked Zhang Ruoyun to play Xu Fengnian, in the second half of 2019, Wang Ti completed the script, and then waited until January 2020 until the protagonist Zhang Ruoyun.
For book fans, this is a process of gradual realization of expectations.
In 2005, the 19-year-old Beacon Theatre Prince released the online article "The Best Prince" at the starting point, and won the second place in the Baidu novel list for the next two consecutive years. In 2009, he changed a few vests and did not fill in the pit, and he was jokingly called the general manager by fans, and he began to serialize "The Demon Life of Chen Er Dog", which won the first place in the first starting point annual list that year, and the novels on the list in addition to the catty "Qing Yu Nian", there is also "The Legend of mortal xiu immortals".
At the beginning, the fans of "Qing Yu Nian" and "Snow Knife Line" had a large overlap. At the end of November 2019, also as a New Year's Eve party, Wang Ti and Zhang Ruoyun's "Qing Yu Nian" were launched, and after it was broadcast online, according to the data of January 2020, the single platform playback of Tencent video dramas reached 6.9 billion.
After becoming famous in the First World War, the wonderful performance of Xiao Fan reading poems in the court hall and the adaptation method of Wang Tian deleting complexity and simplification to retain the essence made the combination of Wang Ti and Zhang Ruoyun regarded as a male frequency "Wang Bomb" combination.
In fact, after taking over the adaptation of "The Knife In the Snow", Wang Tian personally responded to how to adapt it.
And Douban's "Snow Knife Line" novel group, or the TV series "Snow Knife Line" entry, when the episode has not yet been broadcast, has gathered a small number of core fans, or discussed the casting, or imagined adaptation. After the episode was broadcast, Douban was also quickly occupied by fans. As of 17:00 tonight, Douban's short evaluation area has more than 6,000 short comments, but there are no points for the time being.
For simple film and television audiences, with the excellent case of "Qing Yu Nian" in front, how Wang Tian will present the necessary dramatization of male frequency novels, while trying to retain the style of the original work while making people enjoy it in the "tired reversal". It is a great pleasure to watch "Knife Row in the Snow".
However, in the eyes of fans, "Qing Yu Nian" and "Snow Knife Line" belong to the male frequency, but they are not similar works. Although both works have a (several) scheming fathers and many confidants with red faces, unlike the setting of "Qing Yu Nian" that is heavier than the plot, "The Sword In the Snow" is written in the early stages of the jianghu, and the middle and late stages are temples and battlefields, with the tragic and magnificent colors and idealism that men love to the novel, so there are very few plots of anti-eyes, betrayal and framing in the novel. Among the fans' favorite jianghu scenes, the author of "Sword In the Snow" gave the definition of "anti-martial arts".
But it is inevitable, most of the male fans, martial arts drama is still the part that makes the fans of "Snow Knife Line" look forward to the most.
The "jianghu" that is overly expected
At 8:30 p.m., CCTV8 live broadcast, the main creators are still doing the final warm-up live broadcast, Tencent Video will continue to be a few minutes ahead of schedule. The scroll of "The Sword In the Snow" unfolded in a white scroll that dotted the figure of this martial artist.
First look at the data, according to the CCTV8 night ratings monitored by Kuyun in real time, the rating of "Snow In the Knife Line" was 1.08%, ranking 17th; and the video collection playback data of Tencent's front desk, as of 18:00 tonight, has also exceeded 160 million.
Looking at the plot again, instead of taking a look at the original plot, he supplemented the scene of the first "travel", let Xu Fengnian play a beggar for a while, and showed his ability to speak well and be able to fool around. Immediately, the film and television drama played by Zhang Tianai, the Nangong servant Hatsumi, was explained, and then let the wind and dust servant even have to pay the sweet potato "persimmon" home.
But the dissatisfaction of the fans of the original began here.
The appearance of nangong servants, the imaginary fight scene did not appear, but became a slow motion similar to the Xian Xia drama, and all the fantasies about the martial arts drama and the jianghu drama of "Snow In the Sword Line" were completely broken in the middle of the first episode. When the most anticipated part was lost, all the adaptations that followed became unsmiling.
As mentioned above, in people's cognition, "Sword Line in the Snow" is a novel that is "anti-martial arts" in plot. And the director also rightfully believes that this is not a "martial arts film" in the traditional sense.
But this just destroyed the imagination of the fans of the original book for the "jianghu". For the audience, after the baptism of various ancient dolls and martial arts remakes, slow motion, locally enlarged close-ups, and the ethereal feeling of the moves cannot be seen clearly, and they have long since stopped buying it. They obviously prefer the kind of fist-and-kick action scene.
And due to the configuration of the series, all the performances of "Knife Row in the Snow" will inevitably be intuitively compared with the "Qing Yu Nian" that will soon produce the second part. Similarly, in the novel, the mysterious description has created a number of depictions of the martial arts realm, and "Qing Yu Nian" is not a work with the label of "martial arts", but the neat treatment of "Qing Yu Nian" for playing is one of the important sources of its "cool feeling" and an important element to promote the rhythm of the mid-term scene.
The "slow-motion" martial arts drama directly slowed down the pace of "Sword Line in the Snow". Within three minutes of the white fox's face spinning and landing on the ground, the patience of many spectators who had been driving at double speed to watch was also exhausted.
The literary drama is still passable, similar to "Qing Yu Nian", at the beginning, the plot of "The Knife Line in the Snow" is also "homecoming", the suspense of the former is "giving marriage" and the suspense of the latter is "assassination". Perhaps in order to advance the viewing point of the TV series, "Knife Line in the Snow" also accelerated the appearance of the main characters in the play. In the second episode, the relatively later characters in the novel, such as Chen Zhibao and Lu Qiu'er, were fished out with a "fishing scene".
For audiences who are not familiar with the novel, constantly making it easier for new characters to appear is easier to advance the plot later, and also highlights the importance of "group portraits". However, for fans of the novel, it is a quick signal of dissuasion. After the completion of the book in 2015, in the 6 years of waiting for adaptation, fans of the novel had a lot of imagination about the protagonist of "The Knife in the Snow", and reached a basic consensus in the extensive discussion on the Internet, and there was already an imaginary sample.
After the quick completion of the first three episodes, it was found that all the characters except the male protagonist and the male protagonist's father could be singled out.
In fact, for fans, there is no perfect choice of characters, and it is impossible to achieve a perfect adaptation. The reputation of "Knife Row in the Snow" declined, and there were also reasons for the excessive early momentum, resulting in high expectations.
After experiencing the multiple baptisms of super-saturated materials such as new film launches and trailers, too many people expect "Knife Line in the Snow" to attract attention from the very beginning. But in fact, whether it is "The Chronicles of the Great Song Dynasty" or "Qing Yu Nian", based on the total number of episodes, it is not at the beginning of the series that it began to exert full force, and the grass snake gray line, solid laying the groundwork, and then detonated in the middle. Still taking "Qing Yu Nian" as an example, in the sixth episode, Little Fan has just returned to Fan Mansion, and the big people have not yet appeared.
And the more you compare, the more similar "Qing Yu Nian" and "The Sword In the Snow" are not so much a problem of adaptation or actors, but the root of it is the limited pattern of the so-called "temple" or "jianghu" of male frequency novels. As for whether Wang Tian will break through this time to achieve a new breakthrough in male frequency adaptation, it also depends on the development of the plot.
