Happy rivers and lakes, children and daughters are long, all in the snow.
Tencent Video's network-wide "Knife In the Snow" was full of expectations before it started. This costume drama starring Zhang Ruoyun, Li Gengxi and Hu Jun tells the story of Xu Fengnian, a disciple of the family, who trampled on the snow and broke into the rivers and lakes, resisted the fate of the arrangement, and eventually grew into the King of the Northern Starlings.
In fact, when I saw its stills, I was already very surprised.
Xu Fengnian, played by Zhang Ruoyun, and his party traveled on horseback, raising the fog white dust;
And Jiang Ni and Xu Fengnian, played by Li Gengxi, ride together, and their faces are cold and agile;
Zhang Tian'ai was dressed in white, wearing a bucket hat, and as soon as he looked back at the breeze, he had the smell of a chivalrous woman.
This scene made me instantly think of the early martial arts dramas, white clothes flowing, green forests and mountains, stepping on horses and dust, I have to praise the director really understands the tone that martial arts fans like.
In the trailer, you can glimpse the director's creative ideas, full of that mysterious and free jianghu atmosphere, sometimes like splashing ink, the atmosphere is flying, and sometimes the painting is freehand, fascinating. "Knife Line in the Snow" is like a volume of half-open heavy painting shafts, making people unconsciously want to find out.
Finally, on December 15, "Knife Line in the Snow" was launched, broadcast exclusively by Tencent Video, and I, who was chasing the drama non-stop in front, invited you to eat this Amway.
A well-behaved child who pretends to be a bad child grows rapidly:
Xu Fengnian
One of the major threads of the drama of "Sword Line in the Snow" is Xu Fengnian's spiritual growth. At the beginning of the play, Xu Fengnian wears a tattered dress and catches fish in the river with MaFu Lao Huang. After traveling through the rivers and lakes for three years, he returned to the palace to wash away the floating dust, and then transformed back into the "world's first cunning" who had a clumsy heart.
This line is really laughable
The plot of the first few episodes mainly revolves around Xu Fengnian's three assassination encounters. First the remnants of the Chu State intercepted the road and killed, then there was the Qinglou YuYouwei Sword Dance hidden killing, and finally Lin Tanhua's street mouth scolding, the lake center assassination, interlocking, infinite reversal.
In particular, Lin Tanhua's assassination can be said to be gripping. Xu Fengnian, Jiang Ni, and Lin Tanhua confronted each other in the center of the lake, and Xu Fengnian jumped down into the bottom of the lake, and Lin Tanhua's outcast identity also emerged.
Everything pointed to the King of Jing'an, thousands of miles away. Out of his attempts and conspiracies against Qingzhou's financial power, he silently woven this good play of killing people without seeing blood, and Xu Fengnian saw through the plot from others.
If it were just like this, I would only lament Xu Fengnian's youthful wisdom and cunning. But what is even more unexpected is that after this reversal, there is even a greater reversal - the portrait of xu Fengnian who assassinated Xu Fengnian was given to Chu Jun by Xu Xiao, and on the surface it seems that fan girl who followed Lin Tanhua and assassinated Xu Fengnian because of love was actually a dark guard Shu Shame that Xu Fengnian's father Xu Xiao had arranged long ago.
And it was the assassination of Fan Girl that prompted the Lin family to really fall into the assassination situation.
For the role of Xu Fengnian, the screenwriter did not give him the aura of "Heavenly Descending Ziwei Star" and opened his gold finger, but really based on the characteristics of the character, so that he could not see that the last trader was his father.
In this way, while the mystery of the assassination is gradually solved, it also portrays the plump image of the character, which makes people feel unfinished.
After three assassinations, Xu Fengnian received his crown ceremony. Xu Fengnian's and crown ceremonies are different, instead of worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping ancestors, they comfort their mother in front of the tomb.
Three times easy to take the crown, full of three different expectations. Heavy snow, Xu Fengnian changed into a crown hat sewn by his mother for the third time, and the thin crown hat seemed to have an incomparable weight at this moment, making Xu Fengnian seem to grow up in an instant, and gradually understand the mission and responsibility he shouldered.
In addition to The Crown, Lao Huang's death also had a huge impact on Xu Fengnian. Lao Huang, who accompanied Xu Fengnian on his travels for three years, his true identity was that of the supreme master Sword Jiu Huang, and Lao Huang eventually died of exhaustion in the battle with Xianzhi, the first king of the world.
"Lao Huang didn't lose, he was old."
Xu Fengnian's line made me can't help but sour my nose. For others, Lao Huang may just be a groom, or maybe the famous Sword Jiu Huang, but for Xu Fengnian, Lao Huang is the family who accompanies him to catch fish and water and bakes the sweetest baked sweet potatoes in the whole world.
After Lao Huang left, his sword cassette remained at the head of the city where he fought with Wang Xianzhi, and in order to retrieve Lao Huang's sword cassette, Xu Fengnian also had the idea of learning martial arts.
Xu Fengnian's younger brother Xu Longxiang, known as "Huang Man'er", was born with divine power, but had the heart of a pure child. Xu Fengnian and Xu Longxiang had a deep affection, and his father Xu Xiao took over the Northern Starling for him, choosing to destroy Xu Longxiang's roots, and suggesting sacrificing the innocent Ning Emei in order to eradicate dissidents in the army.
In order not to sacrifice his dear brother and the innocent Ning Emei, Xu Fengnian fell into a dilemma. And such a choice is the only way for Xu Fengnian to grow.
Fallen Princess, born with sword bones:
Ginger puree
Jiang Ni's life is very desolate, even if he is fortunate enough to stay alive, his life in Xu Mansion is still relatively stable, but he is still lonely.
Her appearance is cute and agile, but there is always a stubbornness in her eyes.
Jiang Ni followed Xu Fengnian to the first night of Wudang Mountain, because of the heavy objects on his back, his body was injured, the pain was unbearable, even if he fell asleep by the wall, he did not dare to lean against the corner. Later, it was Xu Fengnian who quickly used his sword to support her head, and then gradually slept peacefully.
Although ginger mud looks weak, the core is tough and does not need anyone's pity. He ignored Xu Fengnian's concern and said nothing about the injuries on his body.
The stubbornness in Jiang Ni's bones is unstoppable, although the identity is only a maid, but there is still the pride and persistence of being a princess in his heart.
When she was in Wudang Mountain, she built her own vegetable garden, but was trampled by Princess Sui Zhu, who suddenly visited. In the face of the arrogant, shouting and shouting to kill Princess Sui Zhu, she did not have the slightest timidity and forbearance.
Fortunately, the person she met was Xu Fengnian, who could stand on her side without scruples.
Although Ginger Mud looks petite and simple, it is not a small white flower without ability.
In the process of getting along with the sword god Li Chungang, Li Chungang saw that she was a person with extraordinary qualifications and wanted to take her as an apprentice many times.
Xu Fengnian and Jiang Ni's "primary school chicken" style fighting mouth is really cute!
Although Ginger Ni has repeatedly refused, it is not difficult to see that in the near future, she will grow rapidly with the power of strong grass.
Sense of jianghu atmosphere
"Knife In the Snow" is the only drama in recent years that I am reluctant to fast-forward to the opening credits, in addition to the attractive plot and characters themselves, the picture is also a big factor that pulls a good feeling.
The opening credits are quite characteristic ink-style animations from the Chinese style painter Zhang Yu.
The ink-style picture is very oriental aesthetic, accompanied by the opening song, the hidden and illusory atmosphere of the jianghu also rises, and the sense of jianghu atmosphere is said to be "The Knife Line in the Snow", which every frame wants to screenshot the degree of preservation.
Similarly, the "Snow Book Field" storytelling part at the end of the film is very well-intentioned, and at the end of each episode, the plot is reviewed in the form of storytelling, which not only ensures that the audience will not have a big head on the plot after burning the brain, but also seems to pull the audience into the world of "Snow In the Sword Line", becoming a passerby in the inn there, drinking two or two yellow wines, and listening to the story of the Starling King Shizi. Yan Hexiang's "And Listen to the Next Time" is even more deep in the mind, making people more motivated on the way to chase the drama.
Just like the "And listen to the next time" in the snow bookstore, I can't stop the mood of chasing the drama.
There is reason to predict a wave, "Snow Knife Line" can be scheduled to be one of the best dramas at the end of this year... Having said all this, are you still not impressed? Hurry up and lock Tencent Video, members are the first to watch at 20:00 every day, and non-members update 1 episode at 22:00 every day.
