If the drama "Shang Food" is not a brain, it seems to feel that it is still a good meal, and there are a large number of mouth-watering exquisite delicacies in the play, but once you look closely, you will find that there are many slots and the plot cannot withstand scrutiny.
In my opinion, this is a drama in which the screenwriter seriously opens up for the heroine, so serious that it no longer pays attention to historical logic and rationality, and has its appearance in vain.
"Shang Food" tells the story of the young girl Yao Zizhen who entered the palace as a kitchen lady during the Ming Yongle years, and the "young girl" drew the key point, and she talked about love with the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji while passing the cooking skills.
Wu Jianyan, who plays the heroine, was born in 90 years, good guy, internal entertainment not only has a 30-year-old giant baby, but also a 30-year-old girl, Zhang Ziyi directly calls the insider, etc., Zhang Ziyi seems to be a 40-year-old girl... It seems that the internal entertainment will continue to go to the new year's decoration this year.
I don't know if this drama is still edible, I just know that the makeup is very zombie.
Yu Zheng once again exerted his hades aesthetic to the extreme, and the same filter color palette was applied to the faces of all the female characters, making them greasy and cold, making them look less like cooks, more like morticians and funeralists.
Especially the heroine, the face is dry and thin, the face is depressed, it looks particularly old-fashioned, not to mention the girl, you say that she is a 40-year-old deep palace grandmother I believe.
The point is that I think Wu Jinyan is in this drama, full of murderous anger, exuding the breath of a black and poisonous woman, like a big villain with a knife in his smile and a fierce heart, even if I have watched several episodes, it is difficult to accept the fact that she is the C position.
Shortly after the story began, the Shang Food Bureau conducted a re-examination of the choice of palm meals, and the heroine and the two female seconds achieved the best results, but when the little leader asked the three of them "what is the way of drinking and eating", the other two were serious replies, but the heroine replied like this:
"If I don't enter the palace, my father will force me to marry."
The heroine of this wave, ah, not only answered the question, but also appeared to be very proud and very cute.
And this motive for entering the palace also made me laugh, in that feudal era of male superiority and female inferiority, a small woman entering the palace alone, would not suffer more terrible things than marriage?
Here I can change it to a funny version, replace the female protagonist with the male protagonist, and then change the line "If I don't enter the palace, my father will force me to marry" can be changed to "If I don't go to the palace, my father will force me to marry someone."
To put it bluntly, in a hierarchical place like the palace, the frivolous performance of the heroine will be blasted out immediately, so why can she stay? Asking is the heroine aura.
The boss of the small leader, that is, the elder sister of Wang Yan, the boss of the Shang Food Bureau, said that because of the reward for the three armies, there were not enough manpower, so you kitchen ladies all had to help, saying that Wang Yan was the biggest surprise I had when I watched this drama, even though she was indeed old, but as soon as I saw her, I still dreamed back to the gentle and intelligent Qing'er Gege in my childhood.
In fact, the reason why the real big heroine cool drama is cool, the heroine can have this aura of luck, but it must not be brainless, if it is brainless to the point of insulting the audience's intelligence, it will be a bit outrageous.
The heroine is the first to open the hanging: the rookie defeats the teacher
The Emperor's victorious class held a Chongyang Night Feast, but his appetite was not good, and all the mountain treasures and seafood he was given could not make him move and eat, what should he do at this time?
Eh, didn't our heroine open and hang up smoothly?
She claimed that from the menu of the expedition, she judged that the emperor should have suffered from dental disease, so she made a healthy spleen and appetizer dish.
First of all, this emperor himself is uncomfortable and does not speak, he is sullen and unhappy alone, like an old baby monster with a temper, and secondly, a novice little palace girl who dares to speculate on the dragon body.
Moreover, the old imperial doctors and chefs who have worked for decades in the palace seem to have all disappeared, and the incomparably common problem of poor appetite actually depends on a fledgling rookie to solve, and the hundreds of old fritters in the palace are all eating dry rice.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, it is to force the heroine to break through the barrier successfully, so that she can get the appreciation of the big leader Wang Jie and the first place in the retest.
Funny came, the little leader still insisted on punishing the heroine, blatantly punching his own big leader's face, not to say, if it is not the heroine's surprising victory to make the emperor appetizing, you kitchen ladies are afraid that all of you will have to be punished according to dereliction of duty, right?
So what's the point of designing this plot?
It is to let the female protagonist naturally meet our male protagonist, that is, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, but the design of this encounter scene is a lot of bad.
First of all, the idol drama wannian standard rain set off, and then walking deliberately fell down and lay down, I really did not feel how romantic, only very deliberate and very insensitive.
The second opening of the heroine: free to come and go in the forbidden place of the palace
The leaders of the Shang Food Bureau are not there, and they need a person to go to the grass house to deliver food to the Emperor's grandson, and this errand is handed over to our heroine, is there a great god of history who can tell me that running errands and delivering food to such an important figure as the Emperor's grandson can be done by a palace girl?
Before going, the Fang Dian Shan had clearly instructed her to just run errands to deliver food, and was not allowed to look east and west, but she took the elder's words as the wind in her ears, and when she arrived at the destination, she not only looked east and west, but also leisurely wandered around.
After the male protagonist returned directly into the house, the female protagonist knelt down and looked up, and chong gonggong had a strange smile, yes, the female protagonist always had this honey juice confidence, very proud and self-congratulatory smile, there was no little as the dignity and humility etiquette of the feudal women of that era, and I really saw that I was very dramatic!
In the days after the delivery of meals, the screenwriter directly lost the logic, leaving her to deliver the meal alone, and the grand grand grandson's private study let her go in and out, and even had no scruples about fiddling with things.
What is the Emperor's Grandson?
That's the future Emperor Daming!
A little palace girl at the lowest level can come and go freely in the forbidden land, so can I think that anyone in the palace who wants to assassinate the emperor's grandson or poison him can easily and effortlessly?
The third opening of the heroine: the front hard rigid brocade guard
The Ming Dynasty's Jinyi guards were generally directly responsible to the emperor and could arrest anyone, even relatives of the emperor.
When this eunuch-like Jinyi guard led people to punish the passers-by kitchen lady in person, the heroine intervened again, and she calmly intimidated the Jinyi guard, thinking that the palace maid's mistake should be handed over to the palace zhengji.
At this time, Jinyi Wei squatted down and looked at her with affection on her face:
Who are you?
Woman, you managed to get my attention.
When this kind of bridge section appears, you can basically guess the development routine without watching the later episodes, and the feelings between the emperor's grandson and the heroine will most likely have this Jinyi guard as a third party to influence.
I am really curious about Wu Jianyan, who is more than 30 years old, debuted for so many years, acting skills seem to not advance and retreat, is it difficult to plan to follow Yu Zheng for a lifetime in such an ancient drama?
Next, the male protagonist who spit on half a pound and eight two.
The Emperor Taisun played by Xu Kai, I think it is to take the route of the face paralysis faction like the brother who is absolutely desperate, and I also have to add the word "pretending".
The Emperor's grandson is personable, does not smile, is serious, does not mean that there is no mortal emotion, but also does not mean that he is as dull as a robot, anyway, I think Xu Kai may understand the seriousness as a pretense, so he always looks like a cold look with a straight face and frowns.
It's hard to say whether it's pretense or not, but for the understanding of this role, I really don't see where he gives the right shape, no matter what place and time, no matter who he deals with, he is paralyzed all the time, and his whole face is stiff.
And I don't know if there is a sugar worth thousands of dollars in his mouth, the amplitude of speaking and opening his mouth is so small that I thought he would speak belly, I have reason to doubt whether Xu Kai did not even memorize the lines on the shooting scene, and directly read 1234567.
All I can say is that the voice teacher saved the face of these traffic artists.
In addition, as the emperor's grandson, the fifth emperor of the future Ming Dynasty, he did not do much in his daily life, but he kept making ambiguous affairs with a palace girl he had never met.
Drawing the point, he has never met, that is to say, he does not know whether the other party is a young and beautiful little palace girl or an old woman with a withered face, in case it is finally found that it is the latter, aren't you big?
In short, this drama gives me the feeling that the costume is very luxurious, and the battle is very large, but the most important story content is very childish and dull.
There is another interesting point.
The public opinion of the previous cat abuse incident may rush to Yu Zhengdu, so in order to avoid being related to animal abuse again, I noticed that a picture of fish head dishes appeared in a certain episode, which was specially noted with subtitles next to it: Fish mouth dynamics are made by CG. However, the embarrassing thing is that in the later episodes, it seems that a cockroach was killed again.
In the end, I think this "Shang Food" is very similar to the Korean "Dae Chang Jin", of course, I am not saying that "Shang Food" is plagiarized, nor is it speaking for stealing the country.
But in terms of overall feeling, there is indeed a sense of vision of the funny remake of "Great Changjin".
