The day before yesterday, I saw a goose factory joke: at the decision-making meeting of the new year, the film and television group reported more than 70 projects, and only two ...

Considering the production cycle problem, goose abandoned so many film and television projects, which should lead to a sharp decline in the number of Chinese films in the next two years and the release of a backlog of dramas.
Uncle said before that the long video platform drought and flood to ensure harvest, in order to stabilize the heat of the playback, the ancient doll is only a lot of large type.
Looking at the new drama on this year's schedule, 2022 is actually Xian Xia 101.
This one, which just started last Sunday, is the most ill-fated S+ of the goose-
Mirror Twin Cities
Someone asked, is this poster in line for nucleic acid testing?
Just looking at the character posters, there is a sense of sub-fate atmosphere.
But how did this double poster achieve a sense of no cp in the whole staff?
It is said that "Mirror Twin Cities" is a drama of Li Yifeng's love for the goose factory, after all, looking at his selection genre in the past 5 years, he is very eager for high-quality books to polish his acting skills, unlike actors who can choose ancient puppets.
"Mirror Twin Cities" was stopped several times during production, and on the eve of the start of broadcasting, it was a variety of film and television IP that was sung down by the industry, from starring fans to book fans who strongly resisted.
I don't blame fans for singing down, but anyone who has seen the original book can definitely reach a consensus: change "Mirror Twin Cities" to an ancient doll to shoot, just ... Outrageous!
"Mirror Twin Cities" is taken from the writer Cangyue's cloud wilderness fantasy novel, the entire mirror series has a total of six books: "Mirror Twin Cities", "Mirror • Broken Army", "Mirror • Breaking the Sky", "Mirror • Dragon War", "Mirror • Divine Silence", "Dream Weaver", of which "Mirror Twin Cities" published in 2008 is the beginning of the entire series.
As the earliest fantasy novel from a female perspective in China, the setting of the world view in "Mirror" is as complex and majestic as "Jiuzhou", and the difficulty of film and television is no less than that of "Three-Body Problem".
Therefore, before the play, I will summarize the world view of the original work a little, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to understand it when I watch the drama directly.
The author takes the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to fictionalize a classic book "Liuhe Book", which records that the mainland is divided into "Zhongzhou" and "Cloud Waste", with a "Heavenly Que" spaced in the middle, and the two places resemble parallel time and space that mirror each other: "Cloud Waste" is a paradise on earth, attracting many people in Zhongzhou to explore.
"Twin Cities" is mainly about the entanglement of the sky-high mulberry, the fish and the ice tribe on the cloud barren plain. Both the Khlong Sang and the Ice Clan belong to the Human Race, and the Fish People are more similar to the "Immortal" Clan.
A thousand years ago, Khlong Sang destroyed the sea country and became the lord of the continent, and the Fish People became prisoners of the Khlong Sang people.
The setting in the book is more emotional: the average appearance is high, can sing and dance, tears into beads, the most important thing is that their initial state has no gender, and gender needs to be differentiated according to the sexual orientation of adulthood.
Su Mo, played by Li Yifeng, was sold and scolded from childhood in the original work, and in order not to become a human pearl-making machine, he poked his eyes blind (proper wolf fire).
Growing up from the bottom and seeing the cold of the world, Su Mo agreed to be a puppet of the Qing King to frame The Crown Princess Bai Ying in order to please the slave.
In the play, Bai Ying is played by Chen Yuqi
Cangyue's Su Mo is very complicated, grew up in the dark, before encountering Bai Ying, gloomy and violent, fierce heart, Bai Ying's sincerity and care planted a seed of goodness in his heart, after Bai Ying jumped the tower and sacrificed, Su Mo began to lead the Fish People back to the Blue Sea of restoration.
In the book, the emotional line between Su Mo and Bai Ying is not much ink, although it is only a small part of the huge story, but it is the foundation of the protagonist's soul. The TV series only takes out the emotional line to shoot, the epic becomes an ancient puppet, and the protagonist changes from flesh and blood to a love brain that only serves sadomasochism.
The key is that you can shoot the emotional line well, uncle after watching the first eight episodes, there are only two words in his mind: boring.
There have been comments that if boredom is guilty, then the Mirror Twins should be sentenced to life. Can write the lover's first encounter, heartbeat, entanglement are so boring, presumably the main creative team is the script written on the last day before leaving.
In the opening scene, the two meet on the street, and Su Mo takes the initiative to jump into the car escorting the fish, which arouses Bai Ying's curiosity.
Bai Ying followed the car to the "Xinghan Yunting", which is a fish club opened by the Qing King, which is specially used to torture the fish people for the pleasure of the rich.
Then this club has a "metamorphosis pool", the fish people throw it in, the male and female pick it at will, and what cannot be divided becomes a valuable bead.
There is a sea soul bead at the bottom of the metamorphosis pool, which is related to the fate of the sea country, and Su Mo mixed in to steal this bead from the metamorphosis pool.
It just so happened that Bai Ying was also very concerned about the living conditions of the fish people as slaves, and the two officially met at the banquet afterwards.
Su Mo, who jumped out of the metamorphosis pool, flew to catch Bai Ying, and this time, the dream girl's DNA moved.
but...... How come these two people don't have a ripple in their eyes?
Sorry, we really don't know each other
For safety, Su Mo placed the stolen Sea Soul Orb on Bai Ying's body.
The next night, he sneaked into Bai Ying's room to get the beads back.
Su Mo accidentally saw Bai Ying changing clothes, and even more carelessly, he was found by Bai Ying when he was about to slip away.
Very routine, but the romance is nothing more than those routines written repeatedly, and if you shoot well, you can't get tired of looking at it, and if you don't shoot well, it is very intellectual.
The promotion of the drama is based on aesthetics and deep sadistic love, but the first five episodes of the double scenes are too few, and the two can never get rid of the atmosphere of "we are not familiar".
The protagonist is responsible for the love affair, and the secondary line is responsible for the power plot. Zheng Yecheng's nomadic boy Zhenlan, as soon as he appeared on the scene, was told that he was the son of King Kongsang who had been exiled to his hometown, and now he wanted to go back to be the prince, to be the heir, and to arrange a princess (Bai Ying) for him.
The villain Qingwang wrote all his ambitions to usurp the throne on his face, and when he saw that wangshang had made a prince back, he fought against Zhenlan everywhere, and in order to get revenge on Zhenlan, he deliberately damaged Su Mo's eyes, and threatened su mo's relatives to send him to seduce the princess.
Before Bai Ying and the prince got married, there was a seal on their head that resembled the sand of the palace, and Bai Ying would disappear if he was impressed with other men.
Later, Bai Ying fell in love with Su Mo, and the seal disappeared and faced punishment, but he was not willing to involve Su Mo and chose to jump off the mirror tower and commit suicide.
Bai Ying's jumping off the tower should be a small climax of sadness, but after three back and forth performances, it has not been able to show the entanglement and pain of the two people, and the abuse point of the whole drama may be in the collection of Zhou Shen, Mao Buyi and Zhang Bichen' three major be ost lead singers.
In short, I haven't seen such an ancient doll with a heart as light as water for a long time... Even the starring passerby fans are not recommended to click on. How good can a drama that even the main actor himself is unwilling to act in be good?
