How long has it been since you watched a decent martial arts drama?
Which was your last martial arts drama that you stayed up late chasing?
As soon as these two questions come out.
I guess a lot of viewers hesitate.
It's not because people have a bad memory.
It is because the excellent martial arts dramas produced in these two years are too few. It doesn't get into everyone's eyes at all. Except for barely being able to watch, all that remains is. From time to time, there are also bad dramas like Yang Youning's version of "Dragon Babu" that destroy the classics, come out to disgust you. Domestic martial arts dramas, the scenery is no longer beautiful, making it difficult to say a word.
Back then, the grand situation of various Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts dramas and mainland martial arts dramas broadcast together was really evocative. Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu", Hu Jun's version of "Dragon Babu", Gu Tianle's version of "Condor Heroes", "Smiling Rivers and Lakes", etc., are still full of pictures in retrospect.
I believe that many viewers, like me, hope that a decent martial arts drama will be broadcast and recast its former glory.
Then, say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
May 1st, which is today. The large-scale martial arts drama "The Legend of Yunxiang" starring Chen Xiao will be launched on Tencent and iQiyi network platforms to meet with you. This drama has a strong lineup and huge momentum, and the majority of the audience can be said to have been waiting for a long time, and has the potential to become a popular martial arts drama, which is worth recommending to everyone.
Next, taking advantage of the fact that the show has not yet started, the editor will talk to you about this drama and try it early!
1: What are you talking about?
"The Legend of Yunxiang" is adapted from Fang Baiyu's martial arts novel "A Thousand Doors".
Yun Xiang was a disciple of Yuntai, who practiced hard for ten years and went down the mountain to wander the rivers and lakes. Unlike the others, he was a weak man without the slightest martial arts. His ability to settle down is not the martial arts of the crown martial arts, but the bottomless strategy.
However, although only relying on stratagem can suppress the enemy many times, seek a glimmer of life for yourself, or get a small victory. But to meet real opponents, you need to have a strong helper. After Yun Xiang descended the mountain, he met the eccentric and intelligent and alert woman Shu Yanan, and was impressed by the other party's martial arts and temperament.
Two people, hit it off, you have martial arts, I have wisdom, you are a beautiful woman, I am a brilliant strategist, the two of us work together, not only seamlessly. In fact, it is still a couple made in heaven. Wouldn't it be easy to wander the rivers and lakes.
However, life is not satisfactory, and with Yun Xiang's investigation of the former extermination case, Yun Xiang discovers more secrets. The truth of that year became more and more confusing, and at the same time, it also implicated the truth that he could not bear to accept.
In this process, there was a gap between Yunxiang and Shu Yanan, deception and betrayal, and parting from life and death followed. Quarrels are turbulent, and friendship and love are brutally tested. However, Yun Xiang was not defeated by difficulties, he grew up and transformed in the joy of revenge, and together with his friends, he stood up to defend the fairness and justice in his heart and benefit the people.
From the previous plot introduction, it can be seen that the theme plot of "The Legend of Yunxiang" is very different from previous martial arts dramas. In the past martial arts dramas, the vast majority of men, the protagonist is a peerless master, even if he is weak at the beginning, he will eventually become the king of the martial arts and become famous by force.
And this "The Legend of Yunxiang" has many differences, the male protagonist Yunxiang is not a martial arts master from beginning to end, and even he is not as good as a woman. More often, they also need the protection of their lover Shuyanan. In the trailer, the shot of Yunxiang falling from the roof and letting Princess Shuya hold him is a true portrayal.
I don't know what everyone thinks, if nothing else, just rush the setting of "The Legend of Yunxiang", I think this drama is worth watching. Who said that to break into the rivers and lakes, you must have peerless martial arts. If you're smart enough, you can. All roads lead to Rome, and everyone can be the protagonist of martial arts.
2: Cast
The director of "The Legend of Yunxiang" is You Dazhi, and his main representative works include "The Great Hero Yizhimei" and "The Legend of the Double Dragon of the Great Tang".
The starring role of the play is Chen Xiao , Mao Xiaotong, the main supporting roles are Tang Xiaotian , Wang Jinsong , Hui Yinghong , Qin Lan , Huang Haibing , Liu Guanlin , Li Hongtao , Ruan Shengwen , etc., the protagonist plus supporting roles, nearly 10 well-known actors joined.
Among them, there are powerful people in the Mesozoic Era, as well as old drama bones such as Wang Jinsong and Hui Yinghong, and the lineup cannot be described as strong. If nothing else, this cast alone is worth looking forward to.
Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao again.
4 months have passed in 2023, but Chen Xiao has already launched 2 big dramas alone. A "Road of Life" adapted from Lu Yao's work "Life", and a criminal investigation suspense drama "Thirteen Years in the Dust" that he cooperated with Chen Jianbin. In these two dramas, Chen Xiao's performance is remarkable and worthy of recognition.
In just a few months, a series of 2 works were launched, plus this "Yunxiang Legend", that is 3 broadcasts in 5 months, and they are all big dramas. I have to say that Chen Xiao is now really hot, the after-warmth of last year's two big dramas "Menghualu" and "Ice Rain and Fire" is still there, and now there are 3 big dramas on the air, which is really soft to receive the play.
In the early years, Chen Xiao was an idol star in my eyes, and his beautiful face made a deep impression. At that time, he only paid attention to Chen Xiao's appearance, and often ignored his personal acting skills. And since watching his collaboration with Sun Li "The Blooming Moon That Year", I completely changed my mind, and Chen Xiao's interpretation of the god made me impressed by him.
He played with Sun Li, and he did not fall behind at all, which was even more impressive.
After years of training, Chen Xiao has become a real drama powerhouse, and there is no need to worry about his acting skills. This time, he participated in the martial arts drama "The Legend of Yunxiang", I personally look forward to Chen Xiao's performance and look forward to him continuing to amaze the audience.
Compared with Chen Xiao, Mao Xiaotong's popularity may be a little lower, but her acting skills are also worthy of recognition. In the early years, I didn't watch many of Mao Xiaotong's film and television works, so I watched her participation in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". I really got to know her mainly after watching "Thirty Only" and "Reboot".
Mao Xiaotong's personal image, the first impression is a bit eccentric type, big eyes, changeable facial expressions, at a glance is a smart and witty person. However, after watching many of Mao Xiaotong's plays, her personal acting skills are actually much calmer than everyone remembers.
She has not only participated in "Thirty Only", but also played "Children of the Qiao Family" and "Twenty Not Confused", in these two works, Mao Xiaotong's mature acting skills are to make everyone's eyes shine.
Previously, Mao Xiaotong once played Ling'er in Zhong Hanliang's version of "Dragon Babu", and there were not many scenes, but Mao Xiaotong's performance was acceptable. This time, Mao Xiaotong participated in martial arts dramas again and looked forward to her performance in "The Legend of Yunxiang".
The starring actors are interesting, and the supporting roles are not ambiguous, and I personally look forward to the performance of the 4 supporting actors.
3: Wang Jinsong
As mentioned earlier, Chen Xiao is now frequently broadcast. In fact, compared with Chen Xiao, Wang Jinsong's newly launched works are also many. In the previously popular spy war drama "Thin Ice", as well as the popular war drama "Youth in War", Wang Jinsong has participated, although it is only a supporting role, but the performance of the old drama bones is still very good.
Not blowing or black, Wang Jinsong should be regarded as the busiest among the current domestic actors, there are a large number of new works online every year, and he can often be seen in various large-scale domestic dramas. There are many plays, which shows that the market favors and the audience likes them.
Of course, Wang Jinsong's personal acting strength can also bear so many roles, because he takes every role seriously. In the early years, he participated in "Daming Dynasty 1566", as well as "No War in Beiping" with Chen Baoguo, and "Icebreaking Action" starring him are all real examples.
This time, Wang Jinsong participated in the martial arts drama "The Legend of Yunxiang", and Wang Jinsong's role deserves everyone's attention.
4: Hui Yinghong
Like Wang Jinsong, Hui Yinghong is also an old acquaintance of everyone. Although most of the time, she is active in Hong Kong dramas and theatrical blockbusters. But her performance in domestic film and television dramas is also obvious to everyone.
Hui Yinghong's personal acting skills are delicate and changeable, and her facial expressions are particularly rich. She can play both a kind mother and a ruthless villain. In my impression, Hui Yinghong is a female artist with a very contrasting performance style, she may be warm and kind in the last play, and in the next work, she may directly change her face, cruel and vicious.
Now he is over 60 years old, and he still maintains a high standard of performance.
The family film "My Extraordinary Parents" released in 2022 is her recent masterpiece. "The Legend of Yunxiang" can find Hui Yinghong as a supporting role, it can be regarded as the right person, she and Wang Jinsong should be the acting skills of this play.
5: Yellow Sea ice
The actors mentioned above, although their acting skills are strong, are not real martial arts drama regulars. They have many representative works and have played many classic roles. However, to mention the experience of martial arts dramas, it is not as good as the actor I want to introduce next, Huang Haibing.
Huang Haibing's famous works are "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Unlike others, Huang Haibing is a serious costume martial arts drama actor, and many of his famous works are related to costume martial arts dramas. For example, "Book of Swords and Revenge", "History of Martial Arts", "Heroes" and so on.
In addition, 2020's "Long Looking" and "Youth Travel, One Inch of Love", as well as "Liuli" are also his masterpieces. Among them, the quality of the drama "Youth Wandering One Inch of Love" is the highest.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this drama should be the best reputation among domestic martial arts dramas in recent years, but it is a pity that the actors of this drama are not very famous, resulting in not many people knowing about this drama.
At present, in the hit "Long Moon Ember Ming", Huang Haibing also participated.
Huang Haibing participated in "The Legend of Yunxiang", everyone should not worry about his acting skills, and the audience can look forward to whether he has a stunning performance.
6: Liu Guanlin
When everyone mentions Liu Guanlin, they naturally think of King Jiji. The editor admits that in terms of personal image, Liu Guanlin is indeed very similar to this cartoon monkey. Especially, when he is serious, that look, that expression, is simply not too expressive.
But, to be honest, Liu Guanlin has always been a real treasure actor in my eyes.
What you see may be the funny son Su Wenxing he played in "Son-in-law". And because of this drama, it became a hit. In fact, Liu Guanlin debuted early and participated in many types of works, and "Son-in-law" is just one of his many works.
In the early years, Liu Guanlin participated in "Water Margin", playing Bai Sheng, and also cooperated with Guo Jingfei in "Dragon Gate Dart Bureau", which left a deep impression on the audience. In recent years, in addition to "Son-in-law", he has also participated in "Daqin Fu" and "Police Honor".
At the same time, in the hit drama "Who Is He" at the beginning of this year, he also showed his face and played Wang Defa, although there are not many scenes, but Liu Guanlin's performance is remarkable. Liu Guanlin can be literate and martial, can be funny, and can be serious.
"The Legend of Yunxiang" found Liu Guanlin, although I don't know what kind of role he played this time, his performance is definitely worth looking forward to.
7: Say more
The current domestic film and television drama market, after the end of the spy war drama "Infernal", is experiencing a vacuum period, and there are many new dramas on various TV stations, but there are not many that are really out of the circle and really popular. The suspense drama "Long Season" starring Fan Wei and Qin Hao is not bad.
However, this drama is also about to finale.
Therefore, on the whole, "The Legend of Yunxiang" can be regarded as choosing the right schedule, there are no competitors, and the ratings of the entire drama will be greatly improved. I personally hope that this "Yunxiang Biography" will not disappoint the audience, it is not easy to make such a good schedule, and it is not easy to find so many powerful people to help, don't waste it.
I am personally optimistic that the martial arts drama "The Legend of Yunxiang" is the next hit, and it is likely to be popular all over the country, I hope not to be slapped in the face!
The above is a brief introduction to the editor, the cast is strong, the story content is interesting, this "The Legend of Yunxiang" is recommended to everyone!
