Number of people who want to see: 20,000
As the most eye-catching theme last year, the main melody drama can be said to be very popular, and the main theme drama in 2022 is still worth looking forward to, such as this "If Life Is Like first sight".
Many people who look at the name of this drama will think that it is a love drama, but in fact, it is a veritable revolutionary drama of the times.
It mainly tells the story of a generation of young people who, in the tide of the times, bravely forge ahead, devote themselves to innovating the old, and embark on a correct revolutionary road.

Judging from the materials previously announced by the show and the trailer released, this drama is magnificent and makes people feel that their blood is boiling.
In the play, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, the style is very restored, the picture is also simple and fresh and full of texture, and the whole trailer presents a film texture and epic style.
The male protagonist Li Xian's role is very heavy, from the handsomeness of youth and the vicissitudes of middle age, he performs the magnificent life of a revolutionary.
"The Wind Rises in Longxi"
Director: Lu Yang
Starring: Chen Kun / Bai Yu / Nie Yuan / Chang Yuan
"The Wind Rises longxi" is definitely an unaired TV series, and the trailer released before has caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
Recently, it appeared in the 2022 CCTV TV series list, which once again aroused the attention and expectations of the audience.
The play is adapted from Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, and friends who are familiar with Ma Boyong know that his novels are mostly based on costume suspense.
Based on his novels, works such as "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", and "The Central Bureau of the Antiques Bureau" are very popular, and can be called the "traffic responsibility" of the film and television adaptation market.
The director is Lu Yang, who has filmed the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series and "Assassination of a Novelist", and also invited Chen Kun and Bai Yu, two male gods, as well as Nie Yuan, Chang Yuan, Guo Jingfei and other actors.
The reason why "The Wind Rises longxi" makes everyone look forward to it, in addition to the main creative lineup, the biggest highlight is its theme - costume spy drama.
"Wind Rises Longxi" is a costume spy drama, which is set in the Three Kingdoms Scuffle, telling the story of Chen Gong and Xun Xue, two brothers, who should have been small in the chaotic world and grew into big heroes.
Therefore, watching more spy dramas with guns and bullets, flying car explosions, and high-tech means, this kind of intrigue between the characters of the cold weapon era and the secret struggle between the camps of the wind and clouds are more attractive.
As far as the trailer released so far, the picture of this drama is exquisite, the tone is dark, and the texture is very advanced.
The rivalry between Chen Kun and Bai Yu is also very intriguing, with a tense and exciting atmosphere, making the whole story picture foggy.
The only thing that worries people is the heroine Yang Ying, so that this drama is too variable and not good to evaluate...
Kunlun Shrine
Director: Fei Zhenxiang
Starring: Pan Yueming / Zhang Yuqi / Jiang Chao / Tang Zhenye
As the pioneering work of the tomb robbery literary genre, the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series of the world's hegemony has become a popular IP for film and television drama adaptations.
Unfortunately, in these adapted film and television dramas, most of them are hot-eyed works with the sign of "Ghost Blowing Lights", until a "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth" in 2020.
This is adapted from the original novel of "Ghost Blowing Lights", directed by Fei Zhenxiang, starring Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao.
With high-quality production, rich and full character images, especially in the presentation of tomb robbery adventure elements without losing the essence of the original work, it has received a lot of praise after broadcasting.
Not only did it finally get 2.7 billion views, but it also won the highest score since the film and television adaptation of the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series.
In everyone's high expectation next year, the second "Yunnan Bug Valley" will be broadcast, and the popularity of the line will rush to the first place in the whole network, and the number of broadcasts will directly exceed 100 million.
However, due to the plot adaptation, the increase of villagers' drama and the iron triangle image of the crotch, the second half of "Yunnan Bug Valley" has a reputation to pull the crotch.
In the finale of "Yunnan Worm Valley", the trailer of the third "Kunlun Shrine" was released, if the Yunnan Worm Valley is the most dangerous tomb, then the Kunlun Shrine is the most mysterious tomb.
It mainly tells the story of the Hong Kong antique dealer Uncle Ming, in order to find the legendary glacier crystal corpse of the demon country in "King Gesar", he hired the Iron Triangle to search for it, thus starting a tomb exploration journey.
Judging from the trailer, whether it is the icy Kunlun, the confusing ghost mother tomb or the various crises that have come, people can't look at it intently.
In addition to the familiar iron triangle, "Kunlun Shrine" has several new characters, Li Chen's Zhang Yingchuan, Liang Tian's Ma Zhenren, Tang Zhenye's Hong Kong businessman Ming Uncle and so on.
As for what kind of surprises they can bring, we will not know until the start of the broadcast.
Dream Chronicles
Director: Yang Yang
Starring: Liu Yifei / Chen Xiao / Liu Yan / Lin Yun
The most anticipated costume drama in 2022 is this "Dream Hualu".
The drama has been attracting much attention since the official announcement of filming, from the beginning of filming to the end of the green, whether it is a variety of Reuters or film flower trailers, every exposure can cause netizens to discuss.
The main reason why this drama is expected by everyone is that the heroine Liu Yifei.
As a "fairy sister", Liu Yifei can be described as the peak of her debut, and her first work was co-starred with Chen Kun in "The Golden Powder Family".
Then Wang Yuyan of "Tianlong Eight Parts", Zhao Ling'er of "Legend of the Immortal Sword", and Little Dragon Girl of "Divine Eagle Hero", each of which is an unrepeatable classic.
After that, Liu Yifei turned to the big screen but the results were not as good as expected, and the Disney A-grade blockbuster "Mulan" starring last year did not get much praise after its release.
This time Liu Yifei starred in the ancient puppet drama again after 15 years, which is a surprise for the audience to see her costume again, and it is also an opportunity for Liu Yifei to regain her reputation.
And the male protagonist who partnered with Liu Yifei is Chen Xiao, they can be described as "fate is not shallow", Liu Yifei has played Xiaolongnü, chen Xiao has played Yang Guo.
The drama is based on Guan Hanqing's "Zhao Pan'er Wind and Moon Rescue wind and dust", telling the story of Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang, who finally ran the small tea house into the largest restaurant in Beijing after experiencing hardships and tribulations.
From the content, it can be seen that this drama is a popular female inspirational theme, through the growth experience of three women, it shows the awakening of women's independent consciousness and the struggle against cruel fate under feudal society.
Compared with the general ancient puppet drama, the female theme of this drama is more distinct, and the content has also sublimated a grade, no longer just stuck to the emotional entanglement of male and female protagonists.
Judging from the trailer, the female group portraits in the play are also very rich, in addition to the female protagonist, there are also roles played by Lin Yun and Liu Yan.
The crew is very attentive to the set, and strives to present the glory of the ancient Beijing, pavilions, water pavilions, and bright lights at night.
Whether it is light and shadow or tone, there is no lack of cinematic texture, and every frame is a painting, which is amazing.
It is worth mentioning that in 2022, Liu Yifei also has a big drama, "Nan Yan Zhai Record" cooperated with Jing Bairan.
It is adapted from the popular national comic of the same name, and is another masterpiece of the producer drama and film after "Ordinary World".
The play revolves around a broken manuscript, "Records of Nan yan zhai", which recounts the twists and turns of love between Ye Shen, a patriotic young man in the late Qing Dynasty and the lady of the perfume shop Nan Yan Zhai, Lu Mansheng.
Different from the bloody romance of ancient heroes and the sweet pet romance of modern cities, the original work of "Nan Yan Zhai Record" has a layer of classical magic romanticism in the background of the Republic of China.
Old alleys, oil-paper umbrellas, cheongsam outfits, a good full moon, and ethereal smoke, these irresistible classical feelings are the classics of comics.
It is estimated that this drama will create another peak of the appearance of the Republic of China drama...
The Three-Body Problem
Director: Yang Lei
Starring: Zhang Luyi / Yu Hewei / Chen Jin / Wang Ziwen
The fire of the movie "The Wandering Earth" in 2019 has set off a wave of domestic science fiction movies, and has also been called "the first year of Chinese science fiction movies" by many fans.
As a "Hugo Award" and "Nebula Award", "The Three-Body Problem" has also become a domestic blockbuster science fiction work that countless science fiction fans and audiences are waiting for the stars and the moon to be filmed.
The film and television of "Three-Body Problem" has been news in recent years, and the film version starring Feng Shaofeng and Zhang Jingchu was once planned to be released in 2016, but then it was not resolved.
After that, there were two news about "Three-Body", one was that Netflix announced that it would shoot the English version of "Three-Body", and the other was the domestic drama version of "Three-Body" project shooting.
Last year, the show also released a trailer for the first time, and as soon as the trailer came out, it triggered a hot discussion among everyone.
The drama is directed by Yang Lei and co-starred by Zhang Luyi, Yu Hewei, Lin Yongjian, Wang Ziwen, Li Xiaoran, Wang Chuanjun and others.
However, as a milestone work of Chinese science fiction literature, the biggest feature is that it is difficult to shoot, and it is still difficult to shoot the magnificent science fiction epic sense of "Three-Body" with the special effects production level of existing domestic film and television dramas.
The original author, Liu Cixin, personally served as the screenwriter, providing a guarantee for the adaptation of the story.
Judging from the currently released trailer, the plot basically continues the main line of the first original work, in 2005, there was an abnormal disturbance in the basic science of the earth, the scientist who committed suicide by the scientist, and the mysterious "Three-Body" game.
The trailer also restores many of the original famous scenes, such as the Red Bank Base, the Three-Body Game, the ETO Rally, The Guzheng Action, and the classic "Don't Answer, Don't Answer, Don't Answer!" ”
Of course, there are also many deficiencies in the trailer, and the plot, lines, and special effects need to be further polished, but when the text picture in the book becomes an image on the screen, it really gives us an indescribable shock.
I think this is also the greatest sincerity of this drama, although it is impossible to meet the expectations of the audience now, but it does not mean that we have to give up looking up at the stars.
"Blossoms"
Director: Wong Kar-wai
Starring: Hu Ge / Tang Yan / Ma Yili / Xin Zhilei
Just looking at the director and cast, the drama "Blossoms" is enough to look forward to.
The director is the famous Wong Kar-wai, the actor is Hu Ge and Tang Yan, Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei three goddesses, and the cinematography is Bao Dexi, who won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
At the same time, this drama is not only the first TV series directed by Wong Kar-wai, but also the return of Hu Ge, who has been silent for a long time.
The original novel "Blossom" won the first place in the 2012 Chinese Novel Ranking Novel List, the first Lu Xun Cultural Award for Annual Novel Awards and many other awards, and was praised as "one of the best Shanghai novels".
"Blossoms" depicts the city from the 1960s to the 1990s in Shanghainese, telling the past of Shanghai, the three protagonists of Ah Bao, Hu Sheng and Xiao Mao.
The film and television adaptation of the novel "Blossoms" has not only a TV series version but also a movie version, and wong Kar-wai is the director of both versions.
This drama is also very special for Wong Kar-wai, it can be said that it is a collection of romantic complexes and strong nostalgia, so he has painstakingly produced "Blossoms" and has been preparing for 6 years before it really starts.
Actors must be fluent in "Shanghainese", and wong Kar-wai asked Hu Ge to lose weight before booting to match the needs of the character.
In hengdian film and television city, 6 high-standard studios were also booked, and the crew built a 1:1 real scene to immersively reproduce the urban scene of Shanghai in that year.
Although Wong Kar-wai has shot many classic films, can Wong Kar-wai, who made the film, shoot the drama version of "Blossoms" well?
This is also where fans really worry.
Last year, "Blossoms" also released a one-minute trailer, and the short trailer was the same as the Wong Kar Wai style.
The bustling night scene of Shanghai, wong kar-wai-style monologues, and the male protagonist played by Hu Ge all appeared one by one.
The style is very Wong Kar Wai.
The time is also very Wong Kar Wai, the drama version will be broadcast this year, the movie version will be released in 2025, and it will be grinded for another three years.
Well, the domestic dramas I am most looking forward to this year are all here.
You are most looking forward to that drama, hurry up and tell me, and then you will be ready~
