Director You Dazhi, Chen Xiao, Mao Xiaotong, Tang Xiaotian, Xu Lingyue, Liu Guanlin, Qin Lan, Wang Jinsong, Hui Yinghong, Huang Haibing, etc. starring in the martial arts drama "The Legend of Yunxiang" is on the air, this drama has been broadcast for 18 episodes and has been praised by many netizens as the best martial arts drama in recent years.
Bo Guangjun watched more than ten episodes, this drama is indeed a conscientious production, the service road and art composition framing are quite good, everyone's clothes are cotton and linen cloth materials and embroidery patterns on the clothes are very textured, the scene setting is very market gas and pyrotechnic gas can truly reflect the lifestyle of ancient people, unlike some costume dramas today, the clothes are engaged in bells and whistles, colorful at a glance, is the kind of factory wholesale production, which makes people look very false.
At the same time, the picture is very comfortable, the colors and dimming are very good, there is no problem of very dark or very bright, and the saturation is very strong.
In the first two episodes, I think some of the editing has a loss that is not smooth but does not affect the plot, the two leading actors are very in line with the characters in the play, the characters shown in the first six episodes can be shown by both leading actors, and the supporting roles needless to say, are very good. I still like the setting of male and female martial arts.
The male protagonist is not a boss, but cunning, but serious, sweet mouth can speak, brain abacus refined reincarnation. The heroine's force value is very strong, but the unexpected also has brains. The setting of double ability, but the personality is a little female A male o, in short, there is not much problem with the actor and the role.
However, although this drama is the best martial arts drama in recent years, there are still some problems.
The martial arts are wonderful, the actors are not faulty, how come "The Legend of Yunxiang" has not become a "hit"
This drama has been broadcast for nearly 20 episodes, and the plot of the story will not be repeated, because everyone who has watched this drama knows it. There is no problem with the actors of this drama, there is no problem with production, and there is not much problem with martial arts, and even these points are the leaders of domestic martial arts dramas in recent years, but the biggest problem lies in the arrangement of the story plot.
The biggest problem with the plot of the story is not that there is much fault, but that it makes the audience a little unhappy.
"The Legend of Yunxiang" is adapted from Fang Baiyu's "A Thousand Doors", this TV series adaptation is really quite a lot, the original I watched a long time ago, but I was very impressed, the male protagonist was a simple scholar at the beginning, after being deceived by the people in the Thousand Doors, the apprentice started from the down-and-out digger and slowly walked to the position of the lord of a thousand doors.
The male protagonist in the early stage was really miserable, but he slowly relied on his own intelligence, coupled with forbearance and slowly upgraded, it was simply not how smart and powerful the setting was. The hostess has also changed, and the original heroine was a lively and cute little girl in the early stage, because her beauty caused trouble and caused the family to be destroyed.
The female protagonist directly made a desperate bet to abolish the male third, and then stole the male third's thousand secrets to live a low-level life, which is slowly honed like the male protagonist, and they have no intersection in the early stage. Later, the male and female protagonists received the same task, and only slowly fell in love in the process of fighting wits and courage.
The whole article is completely an upgrade flow, the male and female protagonists start really miserably, and then know each other and cherish each other and slowly support, the charm of this book lies in the rise of the characters at the bottom.
So why is the TV series so adapted?
Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu" and "Smiling Rivers and Lakes" story plots are so famous, but which TV series dares to let Qiao Feng not appear in the first episode? Dare to honestly shoot several episodes of Lin Pingzhi, the fifth and sixth episodes only appeared in Ling Hu Chong, and the heroine Ren Yingying appeared in the middle of the TV series, the reason is so simple.
The way the male protagonist of this drama appears has been changed, and the screenwriter pushes the plot back from the result (one important node after another). Then the power distribution function of each party is made into multiple layers of nesting, and finally these nests are forcibly worn. This can make all the results owe to the cleverness of the male protagonist, and there is no omission.
And the heroine is a typical heroic heroine, that is, a setting of female A male o.
This is not a problem in itself, but the shaping of the male protagonist is an extremely dangerous practice, because usually this nesting can also push each other two or three layers, see the tricks, the two sides play, there are back and forth, which has tested the screenwriter's logical ability and thread burial ability. Once one party's IQ goes offline or connects a bad relationship, it will make some small points that induce the plot, very deliberate, very accidental, very inexplicable.
Such a pit that is extremely prone to bugs and cannot be filled will not even stand well with the characters, and the plot will be reliable for a while, and outrageous for a while, which makes the plot very chicken. Therefore, as a screenwriter or writer, the best thing for authors to write is fantasy, love, as long as the logic is more or less smooth, there are many routines to learn from.
There is a certain threshold for the work of functional attributes, suspense, and the most difficult thing to write is wisdom fighting and comedy.
Where are the martial arts, actors and pictures? "The Legend of Yunxiang" only the plot is too dull?
In the plot of the story of "The Legend of Yunxiang", it is obvious that the screenwriting ability (and editing) is not as good as many mainland directors, and it is obvious that the problems and problems mentioned above are committed.
I see that now I find that the male protagonist is relatively thin so far. The background explanation is not clear, an episode when the family was broken and died as a child, and then taken to practice how to live in the past ten years will be much better.
It's better to drag it out a little longer, it's better not to break the feelings. From the burning of the warehouse, the plot begins to become a little suspended, and everything is too natural. It didn't take much difficulty to collect everything in the Caobang, which was a bit hasty as the first important thing in the previous paragraph.
The details of this kind of story plot are obviously not handled delicately enough.
At the same time, many viewers think that the emotional line of the male and female protagonists comes too quickly, and the emotional drama of the male and female protagonists in episode 11 makes many netizens feel very inexplicable, although there is a lot of foreshadowing in front, but it is extremely abrupt, and the plot always feels a little worse, until episode 11 completely broke out.
The reason is probably because the relationship between the two people has not reached that level, and now they have their own half-truths -
If you want to delve into it, originally I was very optimistic about the casting of the male and female protagonists, and as a result, the emotional portrayal of the male and female protagonists presented in the play was described abruptly, and the expression on the male protagonist's face could not see his concern for the female protagonist, and the female protagonist could not see her love for the male protagonist in her eyes.
At the critical moment, complete the task of looking at each other and kissing each other, even if the sudden male and female emotions are realized. In the end, this is all a problem of screenwriting and editing, and it is poorly shaped in terms of mood and feelings.
Originally looked at Wu CP, but did not expect that business war is a surprise? The change and unchanged of "The Legend of Yunxiang"
Although there are so many shortcomings listed above, I think the quality of the drama itself is not bad, it is still the leader of martial arts dramas in recent years, the main reason is that the team does not intend to do this, if you watch it carefully, you will find that this drama is thin with the male and female protagonists, and the male and female protagonists have abrupt feelings are completely opposite.
The male protagonist only has revenge from the beginning, everyone can be a pawn, in order to bring down Qi Tianfeng sacrificed so many Ding of the Su family in vain, made up a set of rhetoric to deceive himself, the male protagonist is not a righteous person at all, and Qi Tianfeng revealed that Wen Cong is the culprit of the blood case of the Shu Family Dart Bureau.
The plot also hints at the similarity of the male protagonist and Wen Cong from time to time, and the possibility that the female protagonist is Ling Yuan's person, paving the way for irreconcilable conflicts between the male and female protagonists. The development of the relationship between the male and female protagonists is still smooth, the male protagonist is in love with the female protagonist at first sight, and the female protagonist should have a task to approach the male protagonist, at the beginning of the acting but mixed with half true love.
The characteristics of the person who the male protagonist sometimes shows make the female protagonist feel unhappy and disgusted, and the male protagonist's suspicion of the female protagonist's true identity and motives also makes him have reservations, and the emotional drama of 11 episodes is a little sudden, but it is passable to think about.
If you want to talk about the problem of this drama, it is probably that the refreshing feeling as a male frequency drama is not enough, and the content of the business war in large sections is a little boring, that is, the writing is not white enough to eat.
I personally like the part of the commercial game between the two sides, such as the third game of Gongzixiang and Tang Xiao's bet, what are his three tips. What to do in three days, is he going to lose the game on purpose? What would he do if he wanted to win? This clasp is looped and makes me wonder how to turn over.
Everyone asked themselves, if you don't fast forward, can you really know what he is going to do next?
In fact, the first two games are also interesting, such as betting on whether a 17-year-old maid can live past the age of 18, I can't help but think about how to break the game, of course, this is a ruthless person can indeed win, bet that the other party can't survive, and then send a killer to kill, but a person with a bottom line, I don't seem to think of a way to break the game.
Yunxiang Chuan can be said to be the most martial arts flavor, jianghu flavor costume drama filmed in recent years, each actor's acting skills in the play are online, each character has its own personality characteristics, almost no tool people, even a small supporting role is also outstanding, although there may be some small bugs in the plot, but it does not affect the main story line of this drama, this is a good drama.
Finally, from "Say Who is a Hero" to "The Legend of Yunxiang", the decline of martial arts dramas is irretrievable, what kind of bicycle do you want.
"The Legend of Yunxiang" can be watched in one breath, mostly due to a lot of drama and hard work. The picture, scenery, actors and story plot are all good, and it is not uncomfortable to watch carefully. Of course, it is indeed obvious that peers set off this piece, and I really hope that a similar drama can reach the era when everyone scolds it for being a bad drama, but it is undoubtedly impossible.
The martial arts style of this drama is still in place, and there has not been a real martial arts taste for many years. Coupled with Huang Haibing, Hui Yinghong and other actors joining, it really makes people feel like seeing early martial arts dramas again, so I still like it more at present.
All in all, "The Legend of Yunxiang" definitely has a gap compared to the previous classic martial arts, but it is certainly a good work, which is a rare martial arts drama that can be good in recent years.
