Costume power dramas have always been relatively niche, but they have high quality requirements. In the past two years, the popularity of costume tricks has been excellent, one is "Fengqi Longxi" starring Chen Kun and Bai Yu, and the other is "Da Qin Fu" whose reputation has been questioned. However, from the perspective of the quality of the TV series, the audience's deepest impression is actually "Langya List" starring Hu Ge.
As a popular in costume power dramas, "Langya List" is remarkable in terms of popularity and word of mouth. Even "Langya List 2" starring Huang Xiaoming also scored 8.4 points on Douban without being optimistic.
It's just that the audience didn't expect that the "Langya List" series, which thought it had come to an end, had new news. It is reported that the TV series "Langya List 3" has entered the stage of casting preparation, and it is no surprise that "Langya List 3" is expected to meet the audience in 2024.
It is worth mentioning that "Langya List 3" will integrate the mode of two male protagonists to develop a new plot, and the production team will continue the configuration of the first two parts.
Kong Sheng + Haiyan, "Langya List 3" has a stable reputation
As long as the audience who has watched the first two parts of the "Langya List" series knows that for a TV series with such a configuration as "Langya List", the actors are just the icing on the cake, and Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming's interpretation of the characters is quite successful, but the premise is that the story of "Langya List" is already of excellent quality.
Judging from the information disclosed from all sides, "Langya List 3" will continue the production team of the first two films, and still choose the team combination of chief director Kong Sheng and screenwriter Haiyan.
In addition to the "Langya List" series, Kong Sheng's performance as a well-known director in the circle has been very stable. The TV series "Breaking into the Guandong", "Parental Love", and "Mountain and Sea Love" are all classics that represent the high level and high reputation of domestic dramas.
And screenwriter Haiyan became famous by relying on the original screenwriter of "Langya List", won the nomination for the best original screenplay of Magnolia in 2016, and ranked seventh in the tenth screenwriter list with the royalty of 8 million yuan of "Langya List".
Perhaps as a screenwriter, Haiyan is not an experienced film and television worker. But the combination of her and director Kong Sheng is the strongest highlight of "Langya List 3".
At present, from the perspective of the plot setting and overview of the Internet, "Langya List 3" is a brand new story, with internal and external troubles and turbulent Yan Country as the background, telling the story of Langya List masters Tang Sheng and Hanhai King Tuoba Yi from confrontation to united front, working hand in hand.
In terms of the male protagonist, "Langya List 3" is a combination of strategist Quan Chen and young general, not to mention the more interesting, the plot is destined to be more exciting and complex.
But then again, although "Langya List 3" has stabilized the focus in terms of plot setting, it has made difficulties in casting actors. Many viewers think that "except for the paste, no one with a name will take on the double male protagonist", but in fact, a configuration like "Langya List 3" even the top stream has the intention to fight for roles, and the problem with "Langya List 3" is not that no one plays it, but how to choose the right actor and surpass the configuration of "Langya List".
Wang Yibo and Liu Haoran are loud, and the starring lineup is a mystery
Since it is a brand new story, the cast will of course be updated, in addition to the old drama bones who created supporting roles in the first two films and worked closely with Noon Sunshine are expected to return, the protagonist lineup of the first two parts of "Langya List" is basically impossible to return in "Langya List 3".
Judging from the audience's voice, the starring cast of "Langya List 3" has not yet had a clear direction. The starring cast is a mystery, and fans of "Langya List" have also begun to recommend the appropriate casting in their minds.
At present, the strategist Quan Chen is likely to be a middle-aged actor of the same type as Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming, and the best candidates for young generals, Wang Yibo, Liu Haoran, and Wu Lei, can be described as the highest.
Wang Yibo, as a figure at the top of the traffic tower, is hot wherever he goes. But to be honest, with the configuration of "Langya List 3", traffic popularity is the last factor that the drama will consider. Wang Yibo's charm lies in his cold aura, but his acting skills in "Wind from Luoyang" are still immature, and it is difficult to say whether he can be qualified for the role.
As for Liu Haoran, who is also highly nominated, his acting skills are acceptable, and his age is also in line with the setting of a young general, and more importantly, his most impressive role in the field of TV series is the young general in "Langya List 2". He is vigorous and dashing, which is very in line with the male protagonist setting of "Langya List 3", and it is easier for the audience to enter the play.
Of course, it is also appropriate to have the flying stream that appeared in the first part of "Langya List". In this drama, Wu Lei is still young and has a young face. But judging from the steppe general Ashler Falcon in "Long Song Xing" and the crazy male protagonist Ling Bu in "Star Han Splendid", he is already capable of such a setting as a general.
More importantly, Wu Lei's own appearance and acting path carry male sexual tension, if you have to choose one between Liu Haoran and Wu Lei, Liu Haoran's route is more immature and young, and Wu Lei is more in line with the intrigue of the power struggle in this drama while being full of youth.
Moreover, the two are also actors in the "Langya List" series, Wu Lei was still a child when he starred in "Langya List", and the audience is unlikely to dance the scene, and although "Langya List 2" has been a work for 17 years, Liu Haoran has not changed particularly much in his image in the past 5 years. Now the screen image he created in the movie is still full of juvenile appearance, which makes it easy for Liu Haoran to remind the audience of his performance in the second part when he starred in "Langya List 3".
Of course, "Langya List 3" is a typical two-male protagonist, the role of Tang Sheng is also the soul of the play, and the young general is a difficult thing in casting, but Tang Sheng's benchmark is Hu Ge of the first part.
The setting and plot of "Langya List 2" are so outstanding in costume dramas, but Huang Xiaoming still has not surpassed Hu Ge's outstanding performance. In situations where the classics are difficult to surpass, the casting seems to be controversial no matter how you choose. In general, the audience recognizes the highlights and quality of "Langya List 3", but it is really difficult to predict whether this drama can withstand the pressure of the first two films and bring more surprises to the audience.
At present, "Langya List 3" is in preparation, but from the known news, it is proved that this drama will not enter the filming stage immediately. It is more likely that the TV series will start in the second half of next year, and during this time, the drama party will not only polish the script, but also choose the right actors.
However, no matter when "Langya List 3" starts and how the casting is, there will be many audiences who pay attention to the dynamics of this drama, after all, the configuration is placed here, even if the results are average, it will experience bloody and vigorous public opinion wars.
