"Dressed in white, with two swords, decades later, there will be no one here."
No one expected Zhang Tianai to be so stunning.
"Knife Line in the Snow" gives Zhang Tianai a really big scene.
This makes many people even wonder whether Zhang Tianai is bringing funds to enter, otherwise his appearance rank is even higher than Zhang Ruoyun.
Zhang Ruoyun's appearance can be said to be the strongest man in history, Tangtang Shizi took Lao Huang to steal sweet potatoes in the village, and was chased into a dog, while Zhang Tian'ai's appearance was the peak, and it was as beautiful as a classical ink painting.
Although the teleportation fighting technique is a bit unacceptable, the overall tone of the traditional martial arts drama is still out, which makes a deep impression. Some people even exclaimed that this is simply the undefeated knife version of the East, making people feel as if they have seen lin Qingxia's heroic posture in 1993.
When the original author Feng Huo created this character, he must have referred to "The Undefeated Rise of the East", otherwise how could he have such a strong martial arts spirit. There is a kind of realm of "the lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people of the rivers and lakes, why should they have known each other when they met", and this artistic conception is the only magic weapon for the success of traditional martial arts dramas.
This can also be seen from the promotional copy of "Knife Line in the Snow". "Tread on the snow, swim in the rivers and lakes." Carry the knife, travel thousands of miles. Warm wine, welcome guests. Talk and laugh, respect the wind. "The snow, knife, and wine are simply the essence of the old martial arts world."
It can be seen that Song Xiaofei, the director of "Sword In the Snow", has a very deep affection for traditional martial arts, as he said in the interview, "I try my best to make it have the characteristics of traditional martial arts in this work." ”
It's good to want to preserve traditional feelings, but there are too many difficulties in real-world operation. After all, "The Knife In the Snow", as a representative of the Xuan fantasy network text, is itself different from the traditional martial arts novel, and when filmed into a TV series work, it is naturally impossible to copy the style of Jin Yong's martial arts, which brings difficulties to director Song Xiaofei, and it is also a great embarrassment.
"What I need to consider is how traditional martial arts should connect when they meet fantasy. The characters were originally playing one move at a time, and then suddenly wanted to fly into the sky, and this connection was relatively difficult to handle. ”
This is indeed a problem, Zhang Tianai's appearance is very amazing, but in the fight scene, it is not very good to maintain the consistent style, several slow motion plus a fight similar to Ling Bo's micro-steps, which is not satisfactory. There was even a comment on the barrage asking the crew to ask for a martial arts instructor, which showed everyone's disappointment.
Director Song Xiaofei actually hopes to complete the transition from tradition to fantasy through a flowing performance technique, and the idea of good results is regrettable. Especially in the first few episodes, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand that this is whimsical.
Later, the section where Xu Fengnian showed the ten thousand tails koi in Tingchao Lake was also slightly thin, losing the grandeur of the original work.
Judging from the final effect, neither traditional martial arts nor fantasy dramas have been well displayed. It's really hard to do both.
Although Zhang Tianai's fight scene was complained about, the overall comment was still OK, but Zhang Ruoyun's pressure was greater.
The Xu Fengnian he played was not surprisingly still had the shadow of Fan Xian. Although before the start of the broadcast, Zhang Ruoyun made it clear that there was a big difference between the two, but unfortunately, Zhang Ruoyun did not leave the comfort zone.
Before filming began, Zhang Ruoyun summed up the biggest difference between Xu Fengnian and Fan Xian, as he said, "Fan Xian is a bad child who pretends to be a good child, and Xu Fengnian is a good child who pretends to be bad." He believes that Fan Xian's obedience and Xu Fengnian's badness are both disguises and protections for himself.
The analysis of the head is the Tao, but when acting, to be honest, many netizens really did not see how much difference he played Xu Fengnian and Fan Xian, in addition to the big white teeth are a bit out of the play, it is really silly and indistinguishable.
In fact, the reason why director Song Xiaofei chose Zhang Ruoyun is also because he happened to watch "Qing Yu Nian", and he believes that zhang Ruoyun should be relaxed and interesting if he comes to play the role of Xu Fengnian. It can be seen that the director team did not intend to avoid the challenges brought by Fan Xian at the beginning, on the contrary, they were still full of expectations for this.
There is actually a reason for this self-confidence, the original author of "Snow In the Sword Line" Beacon is very good at writing about the faces of sentient beings, whether it is the original book or the TV series, you will find a problem, that is, the supporting roles are particularly highlighted.
Whether it is Zhang Tianai, who is familiar with ancient costumes, or Li Gengxi, a young girl who has been recognized for "Little Joy", they all have a good performance in the play.
Although Xu Fengnian is the protagonist, each of the other supporting characters will have an independent jianghu, which has become a good selling point of the show, but it has also become a big embarrassment.
Because you will find that in fact, some supporting roles are more attractive than the male protagonist and can capture your heart.
Jianjiu Lao Huang, who followed Xu Fengnian's three-year travels, became the comedy and tear point of the first half of the play. His personal charm is obviously higher than Xu Fengnian, who will pretend to be wise and clumsy, and is more in line with the feeling of a great hero.
As a groom, he even grabbed something to eat with his master, as a kung fu master, stealing a chicken can be found by the whole village, such a person is serious but a master of the power cable. Indifferent to fame and fortune, but also dare to dedicate themselves, such a textured hero who can not love? And Xu Fengnian, who had not yet opened his martial arts, no matter from what aspect, was really too weak in front of Lao Huang.
The plot has not yet fully unfolded, but Xu Fengnian's character has been beaten to pieces by these supporting roles around him, it is really difficult to imagine how the plot will be played in the future, can only say that Zhang Ruoyun wants to hold on to ah, I hope that the follow-up plot can be counterattacked.
As the director of the play, Song Xiaofei is more stressed. Song Xiaofei himself is a detail control, which can be seen when building the Tingchao Pavilion, he has always paid great attention to the placement of the bells in the Tingchao Pavilion and the inscription of the plaque, and if he wants to complete these details, he can only go back to the original book to look for it carefully, but there is really not much time left for him.
This became the biggest difficulty for him to direct the play.
After reading the script for half a month, shooting must begin, and the management requirements must be to complete the shooting task in 150 days. It is really too difficult to demand both meticulousness and deadlines, and there is also a group of original fans staring at the back.
No wonder when the filming reached the middle, Song Xiaofei was a little angry, "We had a meeting, if we have been following this rhythm, this scene will have to be filmed for a year." But we only have a 5-month work cycle, and those who have issued a military order cannot be overdue. ”
This kind of efficiency shooting, although it finally completed the goal, was despised by many fans of the original, after all, many famous scenes in the original work were brushed over, and some did not even have a stroke.
I can only helplessly say that the TV series is a TV series and the novel is a novel.
There are treasure knives, there is wine, there are heroes, there is heavy snow, originally this was a feast of martial arts, who expected a dish, hey, cuihua, hard vegetables there are "awkward" dishes.
Originally, I wanted to take a trip to the rivers and lakes through "The Knife In the Snow", but now I can only say that I want to invite Beacon fire to drink a glass of wine and talk to him about the rivers and lakes in the snow.
