The same martial arts drama, is also the male number one played by Chen Xiao, why is "The Legend of Yunxiang" a little worse than "Menghualu"?
So what's the problem?
The reason is that I believe that the audience who has watched these two dramas has their own judgment.
Contrast between male protagonists
Chen Xiao's performance in these two dramas is very good: Yunxiang walks the rivers and lakes with "wisdom", and Gu Qianfan survives with "duty" and "force".
These two are amazing characters, who is higher and who is low?
As far as I am concerned, I actually prefer Yun Xiang, because in him, I feel a strong feeling: human fireworks.
Tang Xiaotian, the male number two in "The Legend of Yunxiang", played by Su Mingyu in the play, is a young man who wants to become a generation of heroes.
The corresponding role in "Menghualu" is: Ouyang Xu played by Xu Haiqiao, a character similar to Chen Shimei.
As far as the character is concerned, Ouyang Xu is not worthy of Su Mingyu's shoes.
Coincidentally: the male number three of "Menghualu" and "The Legend of Yunxiang" both assume the role of enlivening the atmosphere in the play.
Chi Yannei, played by Dai Xu, and Jin Biao, played by Liu Guanlin, both brought very surprises to the audience.
The difference is that Dai Xu is deliberately funny, while Liu Guanlin's humor is more hidden.
After comparing the top three male protagonists of the two dramas, we will find that the male protagonist of "The Legend of Yunxiang" is not inferior to the male protagonist of "Menghualu" in any way.
I even think that the combination of Chen Xiao, Tang Xiaotian and Liu Guanlin is more perfect.
In this way, the answer to the question is also about to come out.
Comparison between heroines
The top three heroines of "Menghualu" are: Zhao Paner played by Liu Yifei, Sun Sanniang played by Liu Yan, and Song Yinzhang played by Lin Yun.
The top three heroines of "The Legend of Yunxiang" are: Shu Yanan played by Mao Xiaotong, Ke Menglan played by Xu Lingyue, and Su Huairou played by Qin Lan.
Lin Yun and Xu Lingyue
Judging from the characters in the play, Lin Yun as Song Yinzhang and Xu Lingyue as Ke Menglan are both from pariahs.
But the difference is: Song Yinzhang is very unpleasant, while Ke Menglan is loved by everyone.
Song Yinzhang is bent on taking shortcuts, relying on powerful men to change his fate, and he has no recognition, and does not listen to Zhao Paner's advice, which is a typical "silly white sweet".
Ke Menglan is completely different, she is quite cautious about the choice of men.
Tang Xiao tempted her by helping her get out of the country, and she directly refused.
In the face of the obsessive pursuit of the rich son Su Mingyu, Ke Menglan has maintained an appropriate distance for a long time: neither refusing nor pandering.
Because Ke Menglan knew very well: Tang Xiao just wanted to play tricks, and as for Su Mingyu, he had to listen to his sister Su Huairou in everything.
Only when Su Huairou accepted her, she had a foothold in the Su family.
Otherwise, with her current status, even if she enters the Su family, she is also a maid in the same room, and she is not even a concubine.
Aside from the characters in the play, from the perspective of the matching of the characters, Lin Yun and Xu Lingyue are very suitable for their respective roles.
But if I insist on a high and low level, I will still vote for Xu Lingyue.
This may not be fair to Lin Yun, but as far as costume dramas are concerned, there are not many who can win Xu Lingyue.
Liu Yan and Qin Lan
Comparing Liu Yan and Qin Lan together is mainly because they are similar in age. Qin Lan is 43 years old this year, and Da Liuyan is 1 year old.
In "Menghualu", Liu Yan plays Sun Sanniang, a cook who dares to love and hate.
There are not many places to play this role, but Liu Yan's appearance adds a lot to this role.
In "The Legend of Yunxiang", Su Huairou, played by Qin Lan, is the head of the Su family and the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Yicheng.
Su Huairou looks soft and weak, and sick, but if you underestimate her, then you will definitely pay a heavy price.
Yun Xiang burned the Su family's warehouse, and after Su Huairou brought out the truth, instead of blaming Yun Xiang, he let his younger brother Su Mingyu befriend Yun Xiang.
Su Huairou has such a big heart, no wonder she can make Qian Rong die for her.
So from the perspective of the role: Su Huairou and Sun Sanniang are not at a level.
Sun Sanniang only needs to be in charge of a small kitchen, but what about Su Huairou? She needs to control the big ship of the Su family. It's so difficult that it's too hard for her to think about.
Although the roles are superior, as far as role matching is concerned, I personally believe that Liu Yan and Qin Lan have their own merits, regardless of the upper and lower levels.
Liu Yan's appearance sublimated the character of Sun Sanniang. I still don't think of any actor who is more suitable for this role than Liu Yan.
And Qin Lan's grace and wealth are also very in line with Su Huairou's role setting, which can be described as: complement each other.
Liu Yifei and Mao Xiaotong
Coincidentally, Liu Yifei and Mao Xiaotong are the same age, and they are both 35 years old this year.
Zhao Pan'er, played by Liu Yifei in "Menghualu", whether she is wearing coarse cloth clothes or silk satin, exudes endless charm all over her body.
It can be said that the strength of her aura is related to appearance, but appearance is not an absolute factor.
Shu Yanan, played by Mao Xiaotong in "The Legend of Yunxiang", is a woman with strong martial arts.
A woman who knows martial arts, coupled with a beautiful face and a shrewd mind, is quite likable.
However, judging from the results, Mao Xiaotong's version of Shu Yanan does not seem to have satisfied the audience.
Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao fell in love in "Menghualu", I can accept it.
Zhao Pan'er has the blessing of "fairy sister", even if she is from a pariah background, she is worthy of Chen Xiao's version of Gu Qianfan.
But when I saw that Mao Xiaotong and Chen Xiao were in love in "The Legend of Yunxiang", I felt very awkward and always felt inappropriate.
It is undeniable that Mao Xiaotong's fight scenes in the play are heroic and sassy, which is very exciting.
But as the female number one, she is not as good as Xu Lingyue and Qin Lan in terms of appearance, which is also an indisputable fact, let alone compare Liu Yifei with it.
From this point of view, perhaps Mao Xiaotong is the biggest reason why "Yunxiang Chuan" is inferior to "Menghualu".
summary
Now some viewers still think that Shu Yanan, who let Zhao Liying star in "The Legend of Yunxiang", should be much more exciting.
In my opinion, it could be a little more daring.
If Liu Yifei is allowed to play Shu Yanan, then "The Legend of Yunxiang" will definitely be more explosive than "Menghualu".
Here, it is not intended to belittle Mao Xiaotong, but her temperament and face shape, playing the costume female number one, is somewhat far-fetched.
In particular: the scene where Shu Yanan took the initiative to break the window paper with Yunxiang, I really can't accept it.
This relationship also progressed too quickly, and there was no psychological preparation at all.
It can be seen that if you want to be a good actor, you must first have a clear understanding of yourself.
Otherwise, the result will be what it is now.
became the female number one, but was compared by the female number two and the female number three. This will not only embarrass themselves, but the audience will also vote with their feet.
