"Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" has been broadcast so far, if you want to talk about the biggest slot, I am afraid that Feng Shaofeng will not succeed Cheng Yi to play Zhu Di.
Cheng Yi "tender"
Of course, most of the people who are dissatisfied with this are Fans of Cheng Yi. Therefore, at first glance, it seems to be a farce of "tearing up", but it is not so. At least in my personal opinion, there is still a certain basis, and this groove should indeed be spit out.
According to historical records, when Zhu Di married Xu Da's eldest daughter (Xu Miaoyun), he was actually only 16 years old. In other words, Cheng Yi has been "pretending to be tender" because he was 28 years old when he starred in Zhu Di.
PS: Cheng Yi was born on May 17, 1990, and the start date of "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" is May 7, 2018.
Feng Shaofeng "tender"
To be fair, Cheng Yi's level of "tenderness" is still within the acceptable range. However, Feng Shaofeng's "pretending to be tender", to be honest, is a bit intolerable, and he actually has to play 16-year-old Zhu Di!
In the play, Zhu Di went to Fengyang with the King of Qin and the King of Jin for training, which was real in history, but it happened a month after Zhu Di's big wedding. That is to say, the world in "Mountains and Rivers And Moons" has only passed for one month, and Zhu Di's appearance has changed from Cheng Yi to Feng Shaofeng.
PS: Feng Shaofeng was born on October 7, 1978, and was 39 years old when he played Zhu Di.
The actor succession is too blunt
It's not that Feng Shaofeng can't "pretend to be tender", after all, this kind of thing is very common in film and television works, and everyone has long been strange. But in the same drama, 16-year-old who plays the same role as an actor who is nearly 12 years younger than himself is really embarrassing. This is bullying the audience into knowing very little about this history, otherwise far more than Cheng Yi's fans will complain, and the voice of verbal criticism and pen will have already come flooding the sky.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to think about the question, why should a play have different actors play different ages in the same role?
The reason is to make the actors closer to the role, in line with the appearance and mental state of the characters in the play. But how to overdo it in the middle is skillful, and it is often counterproductive to convert as bluntly as "Mountains and Rivers and Moons". At least for my personal feeling, it seems that Cheng Yi didn't want to act until he was halfway through the performance, and he had to find Feng Shaofeng to save the scene.
In fact, the solution is very simple, after the marriage of Cheng Yi's version of Zhu Di, directly jump four years to 1380 AD. At that time, Zhu Di will be 20 years old, just in the north of the domain, at this time Feng Shaofeng's version of Zhu Di will not be so abrupt to appear again.
Cheng Yi's performance is not feasible in the end
As for someone proposing to let Cheng Yi perform to the end, after thinking about it carefully, objectively speaking, it is not feasible.
There are two reasons for this:
1. Fame
As explained above, the start date of "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" is May 7, 2018, and Cheng Yi at that time can only be described as obscure. With its fame at that time, it was obvious that it could not afford such a big production as "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", and the possibility of being the male number one was almost zero.
Even now, it is not so easy to let Chen Baoguo, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Ji and other old drama bones play Cheng Yi at the same time. Although there is no shortage of funny scenes in "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming", it still tends to be a regular drama in general, and Cheng Yi after becoming famous is still unlikely to become the big male protagonist of the play.
2. Temperament
As we all know, Zhu Di is a decisive emperor, and this kind of role is not something that all actors can control. At least at this stage, Cheng Yi is difficult to do, shaping the teenager Zhu Di is OK, and middle-aged and elderly people still have to play Feng Shaofeng. Perhaps in a few years, Cheng Yi's temperament will become more mature and stable, and then there will be an opportunity to challenge this kind of role.
In contrast, Feng Shaofeng, who had starred as Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, was obviously better in momentum. It is too early to assert that he will be able to play Zhu Di well, but he is indeed one of the most suitable candidates. This point is beyond doubt, otherwise "Mountains and Rivers Moon Ming" would not have chosen Feng Shaofeng, and there are many self-recommended actors.
epilogue
As far as the matter is concerned, Feng Shaofeng's operation of succeeding Cheng Yi as Zhu Di is indeed debatable, but there is no direct causal relationship between this matter and the two actors. There are flaws in the technical level, the director and the editor are responsible, and the script is not rigorous enough. In particular, plays involving history are adapted and adapted, but they must be within a reasonable range.
Finally, I would like to say that, leaving aside the succession of actors, the overall production standard of "Mountains and Rivers Moon" is still quite high. If you can keep it, I dare not say that it will become a hit, but it can definitely be chased.
Personal opinion, do not like it or spray.
