How fierce is the adaptation of "Mirror Twin Cities"? Bai Ying is delicate, Yan Xi loves the brain, and the most tragic is Su Mo
The original book was adapted into a TV series, which has been criticized by the audience, and the biggest reason is that it cannot be loyal to the original work.
It is not that the adapted script is necessarily worse than the original, but there is a bottom line in the audience's heart, as long as it can not be lower than this bottom line.
Personally, I think this bottom line is the essence of the original! That is to say, no matter how you change the original book, you can't move the most wonderful part of the book.
In my opinion, the most exciting part of "Mirror Twin Cities" is undoubtedly the seven-thousand-year history of hatred and changes in the home country of the Cloud Wasteland Continent, as well as the personality and destiny of each person.
For example, Su Mo, who has been tortured inhumanly since he was a child, coupled with the death of his younger brother Su Nuo, has made him develop a dark and fierce personality, which belongs to the personality of cold outside and hot inside.
But this external cold and internal heat is only aimed at Bai Ying and the soldiers of the Restoration Army who are fighting for freedom.
Therefore, he hated Xiao's betrayal, hated Ru Aunt who regarded him as the hope of the restoration of the fish people, and hated all the people in Kongsang even more.
However, the drama version of "Mirror Twin Cities" has made significant changes to Su Mo's life.
First of all, his brother Su Nuo grew up safely (there is a picture of the two children in the play), and because of this, Su Mo's most iconic feature, the puppet Su Nuo, is gone!
You should know that the original book has made a lot of descriptions of Su Mo's practice "crack", and Su Nuo also intersected with the bird spirit formed by white phosphorus, but now it is all abandoned!
Secondly, Su Mo is very indifferent on the surface, except for Bai Ying and Ru Auntie. However, in the drama version of "Mirror Twin Cities", it has always been very friendly to Kongsang and Na Sheng, and has always taken it as its duty to let the fish people return to the Biluo Sea.
However, considering that the drama version of Su Mo already knew his identity as the sea emperor 100 years ago, he had never eaten any crying since he was a child, which was also reasonable!
Another example is Bai Ying, the personality of Bai Ying in the original book is obvious, before jumping the tower is a little girl who longs for love, after jumping the tower is a heroic Bai warrior.
Therefore, the early Bai Ying was very weak, a look of everyone's boudoir image, the late Bai Ying was weak on the surface, but after all, he had fought for ten years, and he was a sword saint, and he should be heroic and sassy!
After the adaptation, Bai Ying, for Su Mo, is still desperate to walk in the sun, and every time he has to fight with the cangliu soldiers for half a day, does the Tangtang Sword Saint still have dignity?
Then came the Great General Of saikyo, which should be one of my favorite characters. The upper is a great general, the lower is a ranger, and the end is a good man!
The Battle of Yecheng Is the Battle of Xijing's Fame and the Battle of the End! He used three thousand horsemen to drag cangliu 100,000 soldiers and horses for a year, and became famous in the first battle; but because the traitor betrayed the whole army and was poisoned, he eventually led to the loss of Yecheng and the fall of the country!
I don't understand, such a tragic and far-reaching setting, why should it be changed to personally shoot the wife, on the screenplay, have you seen Li Yunlong? That's ridiculous!
The play also advances Ting's timeline, to tell the truth, I really want to see the style of Hongshan's so-called "first beauty of the fish people"!
Born weak, agile and lacking in strength, Ting approached Xijing to learn swordplay. The left-handed envoy Yan Xi in the Restoration Army, bent on restoring the country, did not change gender.
As an envoy of left power, he has led the Restoration Army for more than fifty years, and his combat strength also represents the highest level of the Restoration Army, even if he can't defeat Su Mo, Bai Ying, Yun Huan, and Feng Falcon, even Xiao and Cangliu ordinary soldiers can't fight, it's a bit excessive!
Moreover, Ye Shengjia, who plays Yan Xi in the play, is handsome and lacks strength, which is simply the "vase" in the fish people, not the "warrior"!
Prince Zhenlan, on the other hand, has a character I like in "Mirror Twin Cities". Superficially cynical, he doesn't care about anything, but his sense of responsibility is extremely strong.
Ming ming did not want to be the prince, but led the Khlong Sang warriors to defend the city for ten years; Ming Ming was unwilling to accept the marriage forced, but he did his best to protect Bai Ying and Su Mo.
It is also his sense of responsibility and kindness that he will propose the "Air and Sea Alliance", hoping to make an alliance between The Air Sang and the Fish People to jointly fight against the powerful Cangliu Empire.
The matter of alliance, not only the six kings of Kongsang are unwilling, but also Su Mo and the fish people do not agree, how can the seven thousand years of enmity be said to be put down?
In the end, it was Zhenlan who used the biggest secret of the Empty Sang Royal Family, the truth of empress Bai Wei's death, to let Su Mo completely put down the mustard and work together to overcome the difficulties. The key to Prince Zhenlan's greatness and likability is here!
In the play, the infinitely weakened Zhenlan's mind and courage, but Su Mo's latest proposal to reconcile with Kongsang, and finally refused to trade, proposed to form a real alliance, is this not to rob Zhenlan of the credit?
Moreover, I had always wanted to see the appearance of only the left hand under the Maarashi cloak, and I actually changed it directly, but I could understand it, after all, the most important five-horse corpse and the battle of the void realm were gone.
But to be honest, "Mirror Twin Cities" has one thing better than "Snow Knife Line", that is, the fight scene. Although many scenes are also very crotch-pulling, the scene where Xijing and Yun Huan are singled out in Taoyuan County is still quite good!
Now, I can only console myself, treating "Mirror Twin Cities" as an ordinary ancient puppet drama, you will be surprised to find that this drama is also too good... Oh, it's not good!
