Following "The Road of Life" and "Thirteen Years of Dust", Chen Xiao's third work - "The Legend of Yunxiang" finally came, and on the day of broadcasting, it exceeded 10,000 clicks, ranking first, and the popularity is self-evident.
1. The cast is luxurious
In addition to Chen Xiao, "The Legend of Yunxiang" also has actors familiar to the audience such as Mao Xiaotong, Qin Lan, Huang Haibing, Hui Yinghong, Wang Jinsong and so on.
It is worth noting that this is the triple match of Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong, the two have collaborated on "The Condor Heroes" and "Song in the Clouds", especially Yang Guo and Guo Fu played by them, although they are not a couple, but there are still many audiences who like it.
After many years, the two cooperated again and played a couple, which can be regarded as fulfilling the dream of "Guofu CP".
2. The picture quality is natural, no exaggerated dermabrasion
Nowadays, more and more TV series will be soft light dermabrasion, the actor's face is foggy, which greatly affects the viewing experience, but "The Legend of Yunxiang" will not, clear and natural picture quality, acne and wrinkles on the actor's face at a glance.
Take Chen Xiao, his dark circles are obvious, and his overall state is good, but some angles still expose his real age, and he looks old-fashioned.
The state of the heroine Mao Xiaotong is even more difficult to say, her face in the whole drama is very stiff, and it looks like a wax figure under many lenses.
In addition, the makeup is also very confusing, Mao Xiaotong played by Shu Yanan, the character is a heroic woman, often wearing men's clothing, tied a high ponytail, capable. But the more you look at this eyebrow, the more strange it gets, not only not heroic, but also very abrupt.
In contrast, Qin Lan's makeup is much more natural, with curved and thin willow leaf eyebrows, which is very classical. However, Qin Lan's face was also a little stiff, which slightly affected the perception.
3. The praise is constant, and the plot is attractive
Even so, after 6 episodes were broadcast, many netizens called it "good-looking" and gave praise.
In fact, in addition to the slightly poor state of the male and female protagonists, the overall texture of "The Legend of Yunxiang" is good, and it is a rare martial arts drama.
In recent years, fairy tale dramas have become popular, but martial arts dramas are few, and finally a "Knife in the Snow" was released, but it was complained by the audience because of its slow play. But "The Legend of Yunxiang" will not, the play of this drama is natural and smooth, and the action is completed in one go.
For example, Shu Yanan, played by Mao Xiaotong, was besieged on a rainy night, she used her fists and feet, her moves were coherent, it was not a simple pose for a few movements, the camera movement was also smooth, and it was not slow motion, such a fight scene was enjoyable for the audience to watch.
In addition, the plot of "The Legend of Yunxiang" is fast-paced, and too much content is explained in the first 6 episodes. It is said that there are two sects, the name of Shangwu against the imperial court is Ling Yuan, and the name of Yuntai who is far away from the imperial court from Shang, the two sects have the same root and origin, and have always competed.
The male protagonist Yunxiang is a person in Yuntai, although he does not know martial arts, but he is very strategic, wins by outwitting, outwits the officials and bandits as soon as he appears, and goes down the mountain to practice, first he has to see Yan Luowang.
Yun Xiang meets with Yan Luowang, because his lifesaver Wen Cong is being imprisoned by Yan Luowang, and he must find a way to rescue Wen Cong. During this period, he met Shu Yanan, who was also ready to save people, she was Wen Cong's righteous daughter, and the two hit it off to save Wen Cong together.
Under Yun Xiang's careful deployment, he successfully rescued Wen Cong, but was attacked by bad guys, and Wen Cong still died. In fact, Yun Xiang did this not only to rescue Wen Cong, but also to inquire about the truth of the 313 murders of the Luo family 15 years ago, his real name was Luo Wenjia, but only later came to Yuntai and changed his name to Yun Xiang.
Here is the main line, the male protagonist Yunxiang came for revenge, at the same time, the female protagonist Shuya's male life is also foggy, on the surface is Wen Congyi woman, but in fact it seems to have other hidden feelings.
In the process of saving Wen Cong, the two were involved in a dispute with the Cao Gang, Shu Yanan wanted to find the Cao Gang leader Qi Tianfeng to take revenge, and Yun Xiang walked with her. Along the way, they met the rich son Su Mingyu, the swordsman Jin Shiliang and others.
After arriving in the southern capital, Su Mingyu wanted to photograph Liansheng Fang for the sake of his beloved Ke Menglan, and Yun Xiang took this opportunity to prepare to invest in photographing Liansheng Fang together. But the funds were not enough, so he asked his fellow disciple Mo Bufan to borrow money, and after some debate, he finally borrowed one to repay ten, which solved the urgent need.
After successfully photographing Lian Shengfang, Yun Xiang offended Tang Xiao and the others. So, Tang Xiao colluded with Qi Tianfeng and prepared to get rid of Yunxiang, and here, the relationship between several people gradually became clear.
4. IQ online, pleasing personality:
As far as the plot of the first six episodes is concerned, the male protagonist Yunxiang has always had an IQ online, and every step he takes is expected. For example, Wen Cong was put in prison, his legs were scrapped, Yun Xiang deliberately provoked a prisoner, and the other party pushed him, causing him to be injured in his arm, just taking this opportunity to be locked up in the same place as Wen Cong.
At the same time, before he entered the cell, he had already asked Shu Yanan to post Yan Luowang's secret account of selling illegal salt to the gate of the county office. If it goes on like this, not only Yan Luo Wang has been traced, but the Cao gang behind Qi Tianfeng can't get rid of it, Yun Xiang's technique is really high.
In addition, he ostensibly helped Su Mingyu bid for Lian Shengfang together, and was known as a friend. In fact, Yunxiang had already planned, and the Su family suddenly encountered a fire, and the raw silk was burned, and the loss was serious. Yun Xiang reminded Su Mingyu that someone had deliberately done it to induce the other party to think about Tang Xiao and Qi Tianfeng.
In fact, the fire was arranged by Yunxiang for Shu Yanan to release, and everything he did had already been planned, using the Su family as bait to attract Qi Tianfeng.
So that he didn't take the bait, so Yun Xiang bound himself to the Su family again, on the one hand, he was a thorn in his eye, and on the other hand, the fat meat of the Su family, so Yun Xiang could conclude that Qi Tianfeng would definitely rush over.
In addition to the male protagonist's pleasing design, the female protagonist is also the same, she is heroic, chivalrous, and jealous. As a heroine, she has a clear distinction between good and evil, makes decisive moves, and in the process of fighting with Yan Luowang, she defeats the enemy with one move, and will not be merciful.
5. The lines are appreciated by both tastes and customs, and the acting skills are brilliant:
The lines of this play are quite profound, on the one hand, a large number of ancient poems and sentences, in line with the way the ancients speak, are extremely artistic.
Many times, it often means something, such as Qi Tianfeng as soon as he appeared, he was killing fish, and his subordinates reported that Yan Luo Wang's secret account for selling private salt was exposed, and if it was traced, the Cao Gang might be implicated. Qi Tianfeng said unhurriedly, "The brightest of all animals is the eyes", comparing fish eyes to Wen Cong, and letting his subordinates remove them cleanly.
On the other hand, the lines are also funny, and the comedy effect is full. Especially Jin Shiliang, can be called "atmosphere responsibility", when he saw Shu Yamen, who has always worn men's clothing, suddenly wearing women's clothing, it is generally praise, but Jin Shiliang said incomprehensibly, "How do you fight when you dress like this", the anti-routine is too extreme.
There is no doubt about the acting skills, especially the male protagonist Chen Xiao, whose eyes are in place and rich in micro-expressions, interpreting Yun Xiang's careful thinking very carefully. Every time he changed his eyes, he counted his heart, and there were too many eyes.
Of course, Mao Xiaotong, Qin Lan, Wang Jinsong, Tang Xiaotian, Liu Guanlin, and Huang Haibing are also powerful actors, and their performances are relatively natural.
In short, the first 6 episodes of "The Legend of Yunxiang" are still relatively surprising, although sometimes the actors' faces are not in good condition, but the flaws are not hidden, and the smooth plays, interesting lines, wonderful plots, etc., can still attract the audience into the play.
