Zhang Ruoyun, known as "Zhang Wuji" by people in the rivers and lakes, has been swaggering for a long time with the name of "none of his dramas have a second season", and it seems that he is finally about to usher in the moment of "washing away wrongs".
After "Sword in the Snow", the second part of the legend is nowhere to be seen.
The popularity of "Police Honor" has been rising all the way, and after the finale, the film party has already said that "there is a second season".
The screenwriter also said that preparations have been launched.
But when exactly is the second season coming?
That's probably still "Zhang Wuji".
After the finale of the first part of "Qing Yu Nian", the second part is four years.
Zhang Ruoyun and Wang Yang and Wu Gang have even changed identities and reunited in the next door "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope".
In the play, the siblings of Song Yi and Guo Qilin even turned into a "son-in-law" couple.
This original genuine second part is still stuck in the "imminent" stage.
In November last year, Zhang Ruoyun forwarded the news of the crew's official micro and said "about to start".
It is still not turned on to this day, and Zhang Ruoyun has also been ridiculed for "redefining the imminent".
It is reported that this time is really "about to start"!
It is rumored that the crew will officially start on April 18, and all the actors are the original cast.
Now, Zhang Ruoyun is finally going to break the curse of "Zhang Wuji" and start filming the second season, and the rumored "White Night Chase 2" finally has new dynamics, but there are still many sequels that make people miss and then have no follow-up.
First, the "progress bar is the only problem" group: "Langya List 3" and "Da Song Youth Chronicle 2"
"Langya List" is very unique, if it is an "ancient puppet", but it has a thick sense of thousands of unjust souls outside the ancient puppet.
Or "drama", and there is more single-line and idealized overhead content.
In any case, "Langya List" is full of characters and good-looking group portraits, which is like a rare phenomenon costume in decades.
The sequel to "Langya List" "The Wind of Langya List Rises and Grows", and it is rare that the chain has not been dropped.
Sequels are notoriously difficult to make.
But the texture of "The Wind Rises and the Long Forest" is consistent, and although the timeline spans a large and the characters have all changed, the appearance is still excellent.
A single good work is not easy, and a series of good dramas is even more difficult.
This also made all kinds of netizens expect "Langya List 3".
Previously, the project has been officially announced and appeared on the platform investment promotion.
The chief director is still Kong Sheng, who is known as the conscience of the national drama.
The person who handled the story is also the original author of the novel, Hai Yan, just like the first and second parts.
The noon team has always been at a guaranteed level, and the golden "behind-the-scenes lineup of the original team" that partners the original author is like a needle in the sea god.
However, the current drama still does not reveal the specific story timeline and starring lineup.
Mei Changsu and the former enemy Xia Jiang have already laughed at each other and drank mutton soup together in "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee"; Hu Ge and the grown up Xiaofeiliu Wu Lei have also co-starred in movies, but "Langya List 3" is still delayed.
There was once hope that Hu Ge could return to the "Langya List" series, and it is unknown whether it will come true.
The first two "Langya List" have completed the story line of several generations, and the third part is to go backwards? Or go back to the tragic bloody prequel before writing "Langya List"?
Again, there is no exact information publicly available.
Among the various sequel masterpieces, "Langya List 3" can be described as a golden signboard with high-gloss and quality assurance, but it is also the most mysterious.
Next door, "Da Song Youth Chronicle 2" may be regarded as the fastest progress bar in this series of sequels that can't wait.
After all, people turned on.
After all, people are finished.
The original cast, Wang Wei screenwriter, male advocate Xincheng, female protagonist Zhou Yutong, all gathered.
On December 29, 22, the crew has officially announced the completion.
When the first part of "The Great Song Youth" was broadcast, it was temporarily vacant and suddenly broadcast naked.
Even the starring Zhou Yutong was confused, and the poster did not have time to prepare in advance.
However, this unorthodox and atypical costume accidentally became a dark horse and killed the sky.
With the popularity of dramas such as "The Great Song Youth History" and "Qing Yu Nian", the popularity of screenwriter Wang Wei has risen.
After "I'm Very Good in Another Country", the heroine Zhou Yutong also has more and more sense of existence.
After several plays, the male advocate Xincheng seems to be more and more popular.
Even, the female number two Su Xiaotong has the starring dark horse hit "Royal Gift".
Throughout the play, all links seem to be in the rising stage of "everyone has blessings".
However, as we all know, it is very difficult to continue the sense of surprise and expectation that the sequel of Dark Horse can continue.
I expect them to break the curse of the sequel and continue the wonderful.
Why is the progress bar of "Langya List 3" and "Da Song Youth Chronicle 2" slow? Why can't you keep up with the expectations of the drama fans?
To some extent, this may correspond to the dilemma of "limited energy of individual creators at the tip of the pyramid".
Several of Wang Wei's works have been urged to change, if the spread is divided out to "nominate", the speed can naturally soar, but the quality and personal style may also be marked with question marks.
Director Kong Sheng is the most senior and well-known Grand Slam director among the directors of the Noon team.
However, he is alone, as a director or chief director or producer, and his production capacity is limited after all.
At noon, a number of young and middle-aged directors, such as director Zhang Kaizhu of "Children of the Qiao Family" and "Do You Know", director Sun Molong of "I Am Yu Huanshui", and directors Sun Molong and Liu Hongyuan of "The Beginning", have become more and more remarkable in recent years.
It is impossible to urge the result of "one year of hugging", and it is possible to bloom long when the director echelon at noon is completely mature.
Of course, when excellent well-known directors and screenwriters continue to emerge madly, there will be no real "drama shortage".
Second, the group of "difficult birth for many years, follow-up mystery": "White Night Chasing Murderers" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao"
In the summer of 2017, two online dramas, "White Night Chase" and "Undocumented Crime", were born, which have the momentum of opening a new era of "high-energy suspense dramas" in domestic entertainment.
Since then, although there is no sequel to "Undocumented Crime", it rounds up the Misty Theater that has a "distant blood relationship" with him, killing all sides.
"Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" have a reputation.
The 2023 blockbuster "Crazy", although it is not affiliated with the Misty Theater, is somewhat faintly related to this series of high-level criminal investigation dramas.
On the other hand, "White Night Chase" does not have such a brilliant follow-up.
It once became a "lone song".
Regarding the rumors of the second season of "White Night Chase", it seems that menstrual stickers will appear in those years, and there will be a wave from three to five.
Some say it failed to pass the trial, some say there is no hope, and some say it's on the way.
Six years later, "White Nights 2" finally has new news, and it is reported that it may start in April.
Starring teacher Pan Yueming's later "Ghost Blowing Lights" series, many have been broadcast.
From Chen Yulou in "Nu Qing Xiangxi", all the way to the half-moon version of Hu Bayi in "Kunlun Divine Palace".
And his Guan Hongfeng Guan Hongyu brothers are still in labor.
The director and screenwriter of the film have all come out with new works with good reputation in the follow-up.
As for the original "White Night Chase" is so popular, the second season is so bumpy, it is really embarrassing.
Looking back at "White Night Chasing", I feel more and more that the high score of the original play depends largely on comparison.
It belongs to the genre of early "boutique online dramas" that have the advantage of time and place.
Nowadays, the pattern of domestic entertainment online dramas has long changed greatly.
Whether the return of "White Night Chase" 2 is still an ace is probably a big question mark.
Next door to the finale of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Yuwen Yue is still soaking in the water.
A soak, that's so many years.
Now Zhao Liying and Lin Xinxin's "With Phoenix Xing" have already been successfully completed and released all kinds of materials, and Yuwen Yue over there is still silently soaking in water.
Visual inspection will not be fished out in a short time.
Zhao Liying returned to shoot a series of realistic works such as "Wind Blows Half Summer" and "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" after giving birth, and now returns to the field of ancient puppets and serves as a producer at the same time, choosing the same male protagonist but did not restart "Chu Qiao Chuan 2" and started a new stove.
All indications show that "Chu Qiao Chuan 2" is probably in a "difficult birth" state for a period of time.
At least, the progress of "Chu Qiao Chuan 2" of the original team of the male and female protagonists is not optimistic.
The same is "difficult birth", the difficulties of the suspense drama "White Night Chase 2" and the ancient puppet "Chu Qiao Chuan 2" seem to have their own emphasis.
In the early rumors of "White Night Chase 2", keywords such as "overtrial" frequently appeared, and for "The Legend of Chu Qiao", perhaps the concept of the former "big heroine" is no longer hot.
Want a makeover? Or simply give way to a new IP?
If "White Night Chase 2" is only "about to start" in 6 years, indicating the uncertainty of the long-term complex chain of film and television drama creation, then the male protagonist of "Chu Qiao Biography" has been forgotten after being immersed in water for many years, which may represent the complex impact of fashion changes, popular drama trends and other factors on the capital filmmakers.
Third, the "better to remember" group: "The Legend of Wulin" and so on
"The Legend of Wulin" is still a costume sitcom that is difficult to surpass.
Sha Yi and Yao Chen have changed into the "emotional card" mode in the variety show "Our Inn", and the reunions of the original cast and horses on the stage of other variety shows have also been staged round after round.
Theoretically, the content mode of "Wulin Gaiden" is most suitable for making sequels.
You can even shoot infinitely.
Sitcoms don't have to have a "head" or "tail" that is bounded by a big event.
But in fact, "The Legend of Martial Arts" can only be "Peerless".
After "The Legend of Martial Arts", "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", which is very similar in all dimensions, failed to replicate the grandeur of the former.
What's more, in today's high-speed fragmented context, the ancient use mode of "Wulin Gaiden", the eighty collective amount and other factors may be "unsatisfactory".
What's more, comedy is in a sense an art of offense, which seems naturally dangerous under today's netizens tearing X ecology.
Although the various memes in "The Legend of Wulin" are still often remembered, ridiculed, and often jumped on the hot search after more than ten years.
But reinventing a "Wulin Gaiden"-style costume sitcom, or creating a sequel to "Wulin Gaiden", seems a bit time-shifting and difficult to say.
Taking 10,000 steps back, from the perspective of actors alone, it is difficult to connect the drama after seventeen years.
Sha Yidu has already begun to play Master Wu Jing (rounded up to half a father), and his figure is difficult to see the former Bai Zhantang.
Let this ancient "Martial Arts Gaiden" remain in the depths of memory to shine.
epilogue
Why is the rumored second season always difficult and slow?
Gathering the original team and coordinating all parties is a difficult task.
In the hot and cold market feedback, high and low popularity changes, it is not easy to "change in perpetuity" to keep the original intention and appearance of the first version, and to pursue "both a lineage and break through the limitations of new bottles of old wine".
From a certain point of view, the second part is indeed standing on the shoulders of the previous work, sitting on the profit and bringing its own fans.
But the B-side of the double-edged is that between contradictory factors such as freshness, surprise, and whether the texture is original, the sequel naturally faces more and stricter trials.
Can there be more surprises in these sequels that have been called out in a thousand times? We'll see.
