The most popular Chinese drama at the beginning of this year is undoubtedly "The Beginning". It has been over for a while, and netizens are still tirelessly digging up various treasures in the play.
For example, Liu Dan, the beautiful "pot aunt" when he was young.
There is also a handsome brother Liu Yijun with white skin and large eyes.
"Ming Detective" top player Bai Jingting on the set gave the director a timeline and logic.
Liu Tao's charm is much higher than in the middle-aged Mary Sue's "Sea of Stars".
There is no doubt that, as Xiao Bai said in the interview, this project is different from what he has worked on before. The "clear stream" created by the noonday sun has indeed pulled the national drama out of the pattern of talking about love and family affairs, and has achieved a "phenomenon-level". So, everyone is looking forward to what the next drama of the noonday sun will be.
In recent years, there is a popular saying that "noonday sunshine" is produced and must be a boutique. The two parts of "Big Rivers and Great Rivers", "Mountains and Seas" and "Children of the Qiao Family" did indeed deliver answers that satisfied the audience. When did "Noonday Sunshine" become the golden sign of Chinese drama? The answer should be the year "Langya List" was broadcast.
At the end of last year, "Langya List 3" released an official poster, and the production team remained unchanged. None of the actors in the poster show their faces, only red battle flags and black-handled swords intertwined freely, and the small pavilion stands alone on the hill. People naturally called out to Brother Su, even though they knew he couldn't come back.
A few years ago, the first part of "Langya List" in the Douban rating just reached 9.0, in front of it are the absolute classics of the old drama bone performance, and now after experiencing the test of time, it has become a classic, rising to 9.4 points, there are nearly 650,000 people mark the viewing, the cumulative playback of several major platforms has been incalculable. Moms love to see love and hate, dads love to see the world, we love to see CP, or all love.
As soon as the news of the second part of the film came out, the audience looked forward to the original team, knowing that it was impossible, but still not dead. But even if there is no actor in the original team, the entire production team, screenwriter Haiyan, director Kong Sheng and Li Xue are still neat, and even many supporting roles of the first part continue to join, and there are inextricable links in the plot, and the cast of the main actors can be described as very strong. However, in front of the first pearl jade, the audience's expectations are really too high to surpass it.
For so many years, the assembly line of the general national drama industry has been mass-producing similar explosive models, although it often fails, but it seems that no one dares to copy the "Langya List" this explosive model. Why?
The core of the two male protagonists of this drama is actually very strong, and the story of rehabilitation and concubine development developed by this core supports the entire structure. Many people see it as a man's play and a power plot, after all, the so-called heroine in the middle of the Phoenix County lord almost disappeared for more than a dozen episodes at once. However, the reason why the "Langya List" series is difficult to copy is precisely because of the female characters in it. They have the idea of modernity, but they are not out of line with their time, which is convincing and admirable.
In the eyes of many people, the most impressive female character in the first part is not the Lord of the Phoenix County, but the Concubine. Imagine if King Jing hadn't been involved in the conquest of concubines, and what his mother's life would have been like before that. The emperor had almost forgotten about her, and she didn't seem to care, usually taking care of her own medicine garden, making her son's favorite snacks, and occasionally being bullied by the "leading" empress, and she put up with it.
After her son wanted to be a prince, did she change? It doesn't seem to be, but it seems to be different again. The content of the day has not changed, but the details of Jingfei have a frightening insight, should give the little eunuch a red envelope, keenly remove the internal adultery, when to say anything.
On the one hand, she carries the characteristics of a concubine in the feudal era, respect and obedience to the royal power, as well as restraint and city government; on the other hand, she jumps out of the mold of polygamy stories, competing for favors, playing tricks, this low-low drama, she thinks like a scholar of that era, with the world, right and wrong, people's hearts, and truth, and the screenwriter did not let her simply complete the task of the audience's stereotype of ancient court concubines.
Many times it was she who mentioned the King of Jing, and many times it was she who stabilized the situation in the palace.
In the end, the old emperor was forced by everyone to retry the old case of Chiyan, and Jingfei's words to the emperor after the ceremony were half reproachful and half exhorted, making people feel that her pattern and realm were the face of the emperor. There is no doubt that this role made Liu Mintao popular overnight, and now it is almost a household name.
Of course, there is also The Phoenix, Liu Tao's role that seems to be the smallest heroine in these years, but the real heroine. Her first love died in battle, and her whole family was put on the hat of rebellion, she endured for many years, alienated from the imperial court, and refused to get married in various ways. Finding Lin Shu's clues, she did not ink at all, poked directly at the point, and it was very rare that she did not become a love brain.
This in itself is a very idealized, impossible role in ancient times, she fights in all directions as a daughter, and can independently decide her marriage and stay, willing to be lonely for the love of her life. In fact, the jianghu qi of "Langya List" is not only in the Meizhuang Lord and the Langya Pavilion, but also in the Lord of the Phoenix County, a contemporary heroine in the temple.
Meng Qianxue and Lin Xi in the second part also have the same characteristics, especially Lin Xi, the modernity in her body is more obvious, for the sake of lifelong ideals and careers temporarily shelved love, in her opinion, the joy and sense of achievement brought by the study and exploration of medicine, far more than the children's private love of the long look, is not a bit of the pattern of the two bombs and one star of the feats of the year.
Even Qin Banruo, who assisted Xiao Jinghuan, was not simply a dancer attached to a man, but as a counselor, and she herself managed the female spy organization Red Sleeve Trick.
In short, the female characters of the "Langya List" series support the core values of the whole play from another side, "the world is the world of the world", and the strength of women is part of this world.
Finally, we will praise the screenwriter Dahai Feast in passing, there is not much information about her on the Internet, maintaining a hint of the mystery of the writer, the past two, the future third "Langya List" are from her pen. It is said that "Wen is like a person", and indeed from her portrayal of the character, you can guess what kind of person she is.
She subverted the routine. In the second part, Xiao Pingjing caught up with the big villain Duan Tongzhou, and originally thought that he was going to come to a villain to die of a lot of words, but the villain said "I won't talk more than half a sentence of nonsense", which is too good.
Her restraint is unbearable for people who like to stumble. The female protagonist often disappears, either guarding the spirit or collecting medicine, the most passionate scene of the male protagonist and the female protagonist is the hug, and the most intimate words of the phoenix are just a "Brother Lin Shu". If you want to see the flowers of the wind and snow moon here before the moon, please take a detour. This year, the costume dramas that have been complained about by various kinds should think clearly, benchmark the conscience of the industry, and be scolded for their own injustice.
Finally, I would like to say that Mei Changsu has died on the battlefield when he went out on the battlefield. He really wasn't coming back. Hu Ge also said that it would be good to let Mei Changsu's memory stay in the hearts of fans. However, at the end of the second part, the protagonists whose lives are hanging in the balance are escaping the pursuit and killing because they opened the secret passage between the Jing King's Mansion and the Su Mansion, and the bullet screen says: In the end, Mei Changsu saved everyone. He's actually been there all along.
The third "Langya List" may stretch the timeline of the entire story to 100 years, as if the 13 years of injustice of the Red Flame Army are just a moment.
