Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo, Song Qian, Song Yi starring in the "Wind Rise Luoyang" is afraid that it is difficult to become a blockbuster drama, there are currently some criticisms of the actors and plots, more fans will compare the drama with the similar "Chang'an Twelve Hours", and the conclusion is that it is difficult to compare and is fiercely suppressed.
On the surface, the similarity between the two is as high as more than 60%, but the difference also seems to be more than 60%.
Fans who have carefully watched these two dramas should be able to conclude that "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is indeed much better.
Of course, Leng Si has no intention of criticizing "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", after all, this is also a very good work, but she prefers to praise "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", although the play also has some drawbacks, and even the second half is a bit unwatchable.
With "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", "The Wind Rises in Luoyang" has indeed been suppressed, and it is difficult to become a blockbuster drama.
So, what are the advantages of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an"? Why do many fans mention it repeatedly?
"The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" tells the story of Jing Ansi, Zhang Xiaojing, Wolf Wei and Chang'an City from multiple clues. With Zhang Xiaojing joining forces with Li Bi to solve the case and the obstruction of the Wolf Guard forces in their attempt to sabotage Chang'an and Lin Jiulang's henchmen as the main clues, the side stories of Xu Bin, the prince, Wen Yan, the Eighth Army and other characters developed in parallel at the same time.
Several clues or accidental or inevitable conflict crossover, contradictions and conflicts continue to escalate, to promote the development of the storyline.
For example, in episode 9, there are 3 stories told, and there are also 3 narrative clues: Zhang Xiaojing was caught by wolf guards, Cui Ji watched Xu Hezi perform on the rescue road, Lin Xiang sent the Fire Gang to arrest Zhang Xiaojing, 3 stories and clues were carried out at the same time, and the contradictions and conflicts escalated, which in turn triggered a multi-party scuffle, enhancing the compactness of the plot, and the plot appeared more full.
Speaking of Zhang Xiaojing, starring Lei Jiayin, he was in a bloody case and should have been beheaded according to law, but he was ordered to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the people of Chang'an City. Lei Jiayin has successfully created a strong, intelligent, brave, resolute, kind and compassionate chivalrous image.
The theme of the play is also profound: the reason why this riot will occur, the reason behind it is thought-provoking, whether it is an individual or a ruler, even if we live in a peaceful era, we must always have a sense of worry about danger in times of peace, only by achieving "three provinces and my body", can we find problems and solve problems as soon as possible, not only superficial articles, no longer self-encouragement.
The plot setting of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is very compact, which is the design method of the movie: the whole drama is only about what happens in one day, which is an arrangement that has never been arranged before in a web series.
For example, the play uses a long shot of up to 127 seconds at the beginning of the play, the life of the prosperous Tang Dynasty slowly unfolds, showing the magnificent momentum of the coming of the kingdoms, and also adopts the methods of moving and static, light and shadow, large scene and local structure contrast to shoot, with the lighting and scene of the film to restore the prosperity or tranquility of Chang'an, the big scene is magnificent and magnificent, the local scene is delicate and real, and the character expressions are vivid and vivid.
The exquisite production and strong video style all reflect the pace of web drama towards blockbusters, representing the high level of industrialization of Chinese web dramas.
In the treatment of characters, like a brush stroke, the play cleverly draws a series of character images, each of which is more full and three-dimensional.
As a historical theme of the network drama "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", it can be said that it surpasses many harem dramas, historical power plot dramas and costume crossing dramas that are also historical themes, and continues the exquisite pursuit of image aesthetics and cultural connotations of historical film and television dramas such as "Langya List" and "Army Division Sima Yi's Army Division Alliance", making it fit the historical atmosphere, highlighting the spiritual outlook, and having a majestic and tragic aesthetic style.
From the perspective of filming and televisionizing the life history of ancient citizens, the drama also creates a precedent that has never been set in past online dramas.
Of course, "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" also left some regrets, from the plot point of view, the audience has some controversy about the characters and plot adaptations in the play, after broadcasting most of the content, the audience feels that the story telling behind is far less than the first half, and there is a feeling of "bad tail".
Therefore, it is difficult for "The Wind Rises in Luoyang" to become a blockbuster drama because it was suppressed by "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", which is probably not a fact.
Leng Si also wished "Wind Rise Luoyang" better ratings and meet the needs of fans to chase the drama.
