In domestic TV series, the charm of costume dramas cannot be underestimated.
2000's "On the Wrong Flower Sedan Married to Lang" made people feel for the first time what is called "CP stew", 2005's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" made people cry with a heart-wrenching love story, and in the same year, there was also a "Little Fish and Flowers" harvest ratings.
After that, there were also explosive models such as "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Fragrant Honey Sinking Ashes Like Frost", in fact, if you think about it, although there are bad dramas in the costume theme, there are few trough periods.
Closer to the audience are the three blockbusters "Star Han Splendid", "Menghualu" and "Canglan Tips" in 2022, it is not an exaggeration to say that I can't watch dramas by staying up late to chase dramas, one is more wonderful than the other.
However, the costume drama market in 2023 is almost meaningful, Douban's 4.9 points of "Heavy Purple", 6.7 points of "Floating Edge" and the frequently sprayed hot search "Long Moon Ember Ming" are disappointing, so bad dramas are there, why haven't good costume dramas appeared?
Don't worry, good food is not afraid of being late, "The Legend of Yunxiang" is scheduled to be launched on May 1 Goose Factory and "Peach" will be broadcast simultaneously, the well-known director You Dazhi plus the popular Zhongsheng Chen Xiao, high-value actor Mao Xiaotong starring, as well as Wang Jinsong, Hui Yinghong, Qin Lan and other powerful coffees joined, is it enough to be vigorous?
After reading the trailer, I even concluded that this costume drama will become the first popular hit of the year with a double harvest of word of mouth and popularity, martial arts, love and righteousness, power scheme, everything you want is here, so what is a river? And listen to it!
With the power of one person to stir up the storm, the rivers and lakes are bloody
"The Legend of Yunxiang" tells the story of Yuntai disciple Yunxiang (played by Chen Xiao) who has been practicing hard for revenge for ten years, and after returning to the rivers and lakes, he meets Shu Yanan (played by Mao Xiaotong) and other friends, but he discovers a shocking conspiracy in the investigation of the massacre of the extinction of the door that year, and has experienced deception, betrayal and life and death parting, can he break the game?
The play is adapted from Fang Baiyu's novel "A Thousand Doors", the original book has laid a solid foundation, the reputation of 8.4 points should not be underestimated, and the plot is quite interesting, the male protagonist does not have an invincible aura, but how can a scholar without the power of a chicken avenge the extermination?
Of course, with the pen as the spear, the plan as the shield, and the turmoil between the silent, this setting is somewhat similar to the "Langya List", combining elements such as power and revenge, the content is full, and the cool points are also in place.
And the heroine Shuya's character is too eye-catching, she and the male protagonist are a high IQ, a high martial arts, like this "strong male and female" combination in line with the aesthetic demands of the current audience, but also make the characters walking the rivers and lakes more realistic, after all, too weak can only be used as cannon fodder.
However, the difficulty of shooting such costume dramas can also be imagined, the plot is crucial, quite testing the strength of the main creators, director You Dazhi can be described as a big name, especially good at this kind of power scheme, martial arts type of drama.
For example, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "Weird Hero Yizhimei" are from him, the former Douban 7.8 points, the latter reputation as high as 8.5 points, the director's strength can be seen.
And this time he directed "The Legend of Yunxiang" is also a reassurance pill for the audience in advance, from the trailer you can see that the play is well-served, and the warm color picture with a very textured scene has a more antique charm.
Each character image in the story is very distinct, and the plot of one link after another will also firmly grasp people's attention, it can be said that this is a drama that can break the current traditional costume theme of emotional idol routines and compete for popularity with a unique design, which makes people look forward to it.
Chen Xiao carried the banner of the male protagonist again, and his acting skills were commented by the producer
If a costume drama wants to be recognized by the audience, actors are also a plus, and "The Legend of Yunxiang" invites middle-generation actor Chen Xiao to sit down, and his vision is unique.
Some people think that he can't play ancient puppets at the age of 30+, so he took out a "Menghualu" for the audience to tell you what is the real "costume male god" Feng Shen's handsome appearance is on the one hand, and the killing temperament is amazing.
Gu Qianfan's appearance has made many people experience the feeling of heartbeat again? The whole network exploded, word of mouth exploded, this is the bottom line.
And when someone questioned that Chen Xiao was just an idol, he used a "Road of Life" to slap his face troll, blacken his face, bend his back slightly, and walk on the yellow earth in rustic board shoes, and he played a young man in northern Shaanxi into three points.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would return to the costume drama market again after acting in a period drama, or still carry the banner of the male protagonist with his strength, and even the producer commented: "Sometimes in the group, I go around him, why?" Because he is in Yunxiang (this drama), the chosen Yunxiang, he is in the state of Yunxiang, when you watch the first episode, it is basically this state in the group", not mentioning acting skills, but words are beautiful.
In fact, you can see from the producer's words that Chen Xiao really entered the role, entering the play quickly and accurately understanding the characteristics of the character, in the play he played Yunxiang does not have the slightest martial arts, and his personality is a little skinned, which is different from Gu Qianfan, and Chen Xiao needs to perform a sense of contrast to keep the audience from playing together.
And in the trailer, he looked at the heroine's eyes, said that he could see his appearance, and seriously commented that "the figure is slightly distorted, but it is difficult to hide his true color", is this not an appropriate comedian?
At the same time, Chen Xiao's elegant and bookish temperament also has no sense of contradiction with the male protagonist, and sometimes he plays his "weak" just right, such as he is obviously very dish, and he has to climb the wall with the female protagonist in the middle of the night, so frightened that the girl must catch herself below.
After that, Yun Xiang closed his eyes and jumped, and fell in the arms of the heroine so coincidentally, good guy, the first time I saw the female protagonist princess holding the male protagonist, looking at Yun Xiang's embarrassed and a little afraid little eyes, and he actually shrugged his shoulders, it was really enduring.
However, the highlight of this role is that the character is burdened with a deep hatred of the sea of blood in his heart, he buried hatred in his heart, and planned in secret, at this time Yunxiang changed the image of harmless to outsiders and animals, his eyes were sharp, unfathomable, and the charm of the characters was suddenly full, this contrast is amazing, no wonder even the producers have praised one after another, Chen Xiao's acting skills are online, I believe that the finished film will be more amazing.
All in all, the drama "The Legend of Yunxiang" has already shown the potential of a hit before it has been broadcast, the overall plot setting is catchy, the gold medal director is blessed, the quality is guaranteed, and more importantly, there is the popular actor Chen Xiao of the current middle generation as the male protagonist, from the image to the acting skills are fiercely moved, and I can't wait to chase the drama, so are you looking forward to this drama?
