"Shang Food", starring Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan and starring Yu Zheng as the chief producer, is being broadcast in Mango, and it is difficult to chase after yi nanping in "Yanxi Raiders". The show is currently updated to 30 episodes, now let's talk about the feelings.
The emotional drama in "Shang Food" still has the routine of "Yanxi Raiders", male chasing women, women holding, so cats and mice, in and out, stirring people's hearts.
In terms of narrative, compared with the palace fight scene in "Yanxi Raiders" that purely escalates the fight against monsters and talks about love by the way, "Shang Food" is complex and messy.
Judging from the various cuisines that frequently appear in the first 20 episodes of the series, "Shang Food" has the ambition to create a TV series version of "China on the Tip of the Tongue".
Watching "Shang Food", many viewers will shout "good hunger", because there are indeed many foods in it.
What is rare is that almost every dish of food in the play talks about raw materials, methods, collocation principles and edible effects, which makes the audience make up a lot of food knowledge and health knowledge.
It is also in this part that "Shang Food" can see the shadow of the classic Korean drama "Daechangjin" broadcast in 2003 in the setting of the characters, narrative and food display.
In terms of the costumes and costumes of the palace ladies of the Shang Food Bureau, "Shang Food" refers to "Great ChangJin", the same headband, the same white chef outfit. It makes people feel like dreaming back to "The Great Changjin".
In the routine of food display, it is also around the emperors' three meals a day, the competition of cooking competitions, and in the end, the fight is the original taste of the ingredients themselves, and the level of skill.
Of course, this is only the content of the first half. In the second half, with the transformation of the heroine's identity, from the kitchen lady to the princess concubine, the show's display of food came to an abrupt end.
Since 26 episodes later, yao Zizhen and Zhu Zhanji got married, the show has almost no shadow of food, and occasionally some of them are understated by the characters in the play.
In the setting of the extremely female daughter of the Shang Food Bureau, "Shang Food" also has the shadow of "Great Changjin", Yao Ziyuan corresponds to Xu Changjin, Su Yuehua corresponds to Cui Jinying, and Yin Ziping corresponds to Li Liansheng.
If as a love drama, Xu Kai plays the male number one Zhu Zhanji, the role is pitiful, and the opportunity to be in the same frame with the heroine is very rare, and it is repeatedly interrupted and delayed by others.
On the contrary, the male number two You Yifan, the female number two Su Yuehua and the female number n Yin Ziping have more scenes.
Coupled with the ups and downs and complexities of the lives of the latter three, the audience is a little confused about what kind of story "Shang Food" is telling, and even sometimes it is not clear who is the protagonist.
Perhaps, the screenwriter just wants to create a mysterious atmosphere; perhaps, the screenwriter can't bear to give up any subject matter, so it has become a smorgasbord. As a result, "Shang Food" has become a confusing drama.
In addition, the successive appearances of emperors, empresses, princesses and other people in the Daming royal family make this story more complicated.
The complicated royal relationship and the dispute over the sovereignty of the open and the secret struggle also make people see the shadow of "Daming Style" starring Tang Wei and Zhu Yawen.
The deliberately created royal atmosphere, the setting of the characters, and the design and telling of the story are so familiar that it is difficult not to think of the five grandchildren in "Daming Style".
Of course, actors such as Yu Rongguang and Hong Jiantao are still very good.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Akihito Zhu Gaozi, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, etc., these are all historical figures, although the people are similar, but the excellent actors still perform differently, which is the work of the actors.
Therefore, when watching "Shang Food", I have a strong feeling and want to revisit "Daming Style".
Although the rating of the play was not high at that time, it was always clearly prioritized and prioritized, and each stage had a different narrative focus.
However, "Shang Food" wants to tell too many things, and after giving the audience a sense of oppression, it is easy to get sleepy.
Family, friendship, love, "Shang Food" wants to express too much, but there is no emphasis. In the end, who is the main play, there should always be a priority and a subordinate.
Greed will be lost, but the specialty will not be broken. The eyebrows and beards are scratched, and the audience looks in the clouds.
I had to forcibly pull cp such as "Yao Ziyuan Yin Ziping" and "Zhu Zhanji You Yifan", but forgot the real CP Yao Zizhen and Zhu Zhanji.
In addition, updating too slowly is also a big problem.
At present, due to the fact that one episode is only updated one day in the middle of the week, the update of the show is too slow, and many viewers bluntly say that when it is updated, they have forgotten the previous plot.
However, in addition to the above, the costume of "Shang Food" is really careful.
It perfectly restores the dress of those historical figures during the Ming Dynasty, especially the dress of several emperors, which is exactly the same as on the portrait.
Xu Kai's appearance is really able to fight, but salt can be sweet, can be literate and martial. When he does not smile, he is as warm as jade, and the years are quiet; when he smiles, he is like a glacier thawing and the earth rejuvenating.
Although Wu Jianyan is a little thin and old, he is worthy of being from the Beijing Dance Academy, his posture and manners are not picky, he is generous and dignified, and he is a good material for a big heroine.
Therefore, what can support too many people to watch is either Xu Kai and Wu Jinyan's yan fans, or the fans of "Yanxi Raiders".
After all, in the last "Yanxi Raiders" that the two cooperated, Yu Ma gave the audience the greatest difficulty, and in "Shang Food", the two continued the frontier, changed Wu Jinyan to protect Xu Kai, and finally sought a little satisfaction.
I have to say that Yu Zheng understands the audience too well and has first-class star-making ability.
At present, there are still 10 episodes of "Shang Food" that have not been updated, and it is expected that the remaining plots can surprise the audience and justify some of the previous plots.
