With zero publicity and early broadcast, "Mountains and Rivers Moonlight" caught the audience off guard. Maybe it was because he was worried about being hidden by the snow again, so he couldn't even wait for a day to rush it.
The show was actually produced in 2018, when there were 80 episodes of editing. This should be a common thing for Ghosh, after all, he directs big dramas.
But the problem is that in the 80 episodes, most of them are jokes, and most of them are palace fights. Subjective speculation about the Ming Dynasty led to many places that were very different from historical sources, which is why it was backlogged for five years.
Before the broadcast of "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", its predecessor "Daming Fenghua" had already explored the tastes of the audience in advance. The important reason for the collapse of the reputation of the drama "Daming Style" is that too much energy is put into the harem fight.
Tang Wei and Deng Jiajia's scenes are too many and too many, originally belonged to the home of the Zhu family, and the wind direction suddenly became a competition between women and women.
Therefore, when wang Xuexi Liang Guanhua's father and son went offline, many viewers also abandoned the play.
In order to avoid such a thing, "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" has only done one thing in the past few years of waiting for review, that is, to delete.
Retain the trajectory of Zhu Di's growth, retain the route of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, and delete a large number of unfounded palace fights.
In the first episode, the first appearances were Zhu Yuanzhang, played by Chen Baoguo, and Xu Da, played by Zhang Fengyi.
Of course, Wang Baobao, played by Zhang Guangbei, also lit up in the battle.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Chen Baoguo has played Zhu Yuanzhang, as early as the 2006 TV series "Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang", Chen Baoguo played Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Chen Baoguo's most brilliant role as an emperor is the Jiajing Emperor in "Daming Dynasty 1566", whose acting skills are absolutely superb, and his eye lines have changed in a thousand ways.
This time playing Zhu Yuanzhang again, you can obviously feel a change, that is, from an emperor to a father, after all, the main line of "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" is in Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was portrayed by two actors of different ages, Cheng Yi played the teenager Zhu Di, and Feng Shaofeng played the adult Zhu Di.
This can be seen in the director's focus, he is shaping the growth of a complete emperor, as to whether Feng Shaofeng can hold it, it depends on the follow-up story.
In the first episode, the imperial family relationship is shown in a very lifelike way, the young Zhu Di's fascination with the military, the father-son relationship between Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Zhu Di.
I have to say that Chen Baoguo really has a powerful aura, although he has played Zhu Yuanzhang in "The Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang" before and has been generally recognized, but this time Chen Baoguo's portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang still has another taste.
He loves and hates his son, loves and fears his wife, and maintains the majesty of the emperor for his subjects, but after all, Zhu Yuanzhang was born from a cow herding baby, and he naturally has a little rustic temperament, so Chen Baoguo, Zhu Yuanzhang, has some old father's amiableness.
At present, I have seen Li Liqun's version of Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Jun's version of Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Haiyang's version of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chen Baoguo's version of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Hu Jun is the best, followed by Chen Baoguo, only the two of them have personalities and are accepted by the audience.
In addition to Chen Baoguo, Xu Da's actor Zhang Fengyi is a bit bad, may also appear in less scenes, not fully expressed, always feel very similar to Liu Yunxiang in "A Generation of Hong Shang", the performance method is too screwed.
Xu Dahao was from the same origin as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also a military general, and his personality should be bold. But Zhang Fengyi gave me the feeling that the big girl was married for the first time, very shy, and could not let go of the performance.
The first episode ended abruptly in Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da's discussion of marriage, and it was changed from 80 episodes to 45 episodes, deleting a lot of emotional dramas.
But I am still worried that this "Shan He Yueming", which should have taken the path of "Daming Dynasty 1566", will be biased towards the routine of ancient puppet dramas and become mainly love.
Judging from the cast list, Wang Jinsong played Liu Bowen, Wang Yichun played Yao Guangxiao, Bi Yanjun played Tang He, and Wang Qingxiang, Wang Hui, Du Yuan and other old drama bones joined, so zhu Yuanzhang's life in the early stage should not be too bad.
The biggest worry is whether Feng Shaofeng can stand up the field after Chen Baoguo goes offline. After Wang Xuexi Liang Guanhua was offline in "Daming Fenghua", Zhu Yawen obviously couldn't hold on, which led to the collapse of word of mouth.
There are not many dramas in the Ming Dynasty that tell about power plots and wars, because many investors have moved the Qing Dynasty harem drama to the Ming Dynasty harem, and the aesthetic has long been tired.
The premiere of "Mountains and Rivers and Moons" is incoherent in many places, especially the blue jade piece that I can't figure out what happened.
So, can "Mountains and Rivers Moon" become a blockbuster? Of course I wish it were, but the question is, is it?
