Every time a big-budget costume drama warms up, it will set off a heated discussion on the Internet. And Reuters, exposed by "Qing Yu Nian 2", successfully attracted the attention of netizens.
As a popular IP, after the end of "Qing Yu Nian", there has been continuous news. The audience waited for four years, and "Qing Yu Nian 2" finally officially started filming.
Unfortunately, the various Reuters exposed by "Qing Yu Nian" now has no other effect except to make the audience itch, and the scheduled launch of this drama is still far away.
Just when many audiences who prefer costumes have no drama to follow, the news that "Changfeng Du" is scheduled has comforted many costume fans.
It is reported that the costume drama "Changfeng Du" cooperated by Bai Jingting and Song Yi is scheduled to be launched on June 18. As can be seen from the trailer, the production quality of this drama is absolutely trustworthy.
First marriage and then love, happy and wronged, "Changfeng Du" became a popular dark horse
At first glance, "Changfeng Du" is an ordinary ancient doll, but from the perspective of the protagonist's growth line, "Changfeng Du" not only has plot elements of house fights and business relations, but also the highlights of the righteousness of the family country and the power of the court.
As an ancient puppet drama, the background setting pattern of "Changfeng Du" is online and rich in content, which can fully support the more complex and three-dimensional character setting of the protagonist in the play.
And it can also be seen in the trailer that the male and female protagonists in "Changfeng Du" are married first and then loved, from happy and unhappy to hand in hand. In the initial character setting, the characters have a full sense of conflict, and there is also a clear sense of contrast before and after the growth line.
This seemingly old-fashioned emotional line setting is actually the advantage of the audience in this drama in minutes.
At present, "Changfeng Du" is very similar to the style of Bai Jingting's last costume drama "Qing Qing Daily". But judging from the trailer, the costume road and setting filter of "Changfeng Du" are obviously more of the charm of costume dramas.
The important thing is that the production team of "Long Wind Crossing" really did not give this drama a chance to overturn.
Director Yin Tao is a new director who has performed more prominently in the past two years, and since "Glory of the Great Tang", the director has been exporting wonderful works.
The 17-year-old "Glory of the Great Tang" series made Ren Jialun famous, and 2019's "Under the Brocade" completely made Ren Jialun popular as traffic.
In 2020, the TV series "Liuli" became a big hit, and the audience who has been bitter fairy dramas for a long time finally saw high-quality fairy tales in their works again.
Just last year, Yin Tao formed a rather low-key team, and the doomed "Youth Song Line" scored a high score of 8.1.
From the perspective of the director's strength, Yin Tao is very good at the creation of costume dramas. In particular, the shaping of emotions and chivalry is full of rendering.
With the help of such a director, "Long Wind Crossing" is at least stable in terms of rhythm and lens aesthetics. And more importantly, the cast configuration also shows the advantages of "Long Wind Crossing".
Bai Jingting and Song Yi starring, the drama is crowded, and it is difficult to think of fire
A little attention to the public opinion news will find that the pair of Bai Jingting and Song Yi is a pair of CPs that everyone applauds except for only fans.
Xiaobaishu is full of anger, and when creating costumed characters, he is personable and gentlemanly. Even if the male protagonist he created in this drama is a mixed image, his appearance is like this, and the audience really has no reason to refuse.
As for the actor Song Yi, it can be said that the ceiling of the light face is not only highly recognizable, but also the whole face is calm, atmospheric, and Bai Jingting is not a natural pair, but also a strong combination.
As the starring actor of "Changfeng Du", Bai Jingting and Song Yi's popularity can support the broadcast popularity of this drama.
What's more, the cast list of this drama shows the sincerity of this drama in the configuration of actors.
Young actors like Liu Xueyi, Zhang Rui, Zhang Haowei, their own acting skills are stable, their appearance is online, as Bai Jingting's male partner, somewhat challenging Bai Jingting's aura of the male protagonist, and the most surprising thing is the participation of a number of powerful drama bones.
Actor Sha Yi plays Bai Jingting's father in the play. However, judging by the stills, Sha Yi gave up the comedy route this time, and the middle-aged man who was greasy in the cat's eyes was brought up.
And Sha Yi's acting skills are originally powerful actors who can control many styles of works other than comedy, and this "Changfeng Du" is an opportunity for Sha Yi to tear off the comedy label.
Sha Yi participated, and Sha Yi's wife Hu Ke also came to make fun, but this father has no direct connection in the play. The character played by Hu Ke is the favorite concubine of the heroine's father.
According to the routine, she is mostly at odds with the heroine, and is often involved in house fights, as for whether Hu Ke plays a woman who does her duty, or a femme fatale that stirs up the storm, it depends on Hu Ke's performance after the feature film is online.
In fact, the husband and wife file of Sha Yi and Hu Ke alone is enough to support the configuration of this drama in the Mesozoic generation actors. Judging from the cast alone, there are really many surprises in this show.
The famous host Zhang Shaogang has frequently appeared in film and television dramas in the past two years, but he has also created characters with clear comedy settings.
But Zhang Shaogang's poster photo in "Changfeng Du" has a fierce look and a sense of mystery, from the known information, he is also a black character with a deep city and instigated and used at every turn. If nothing else, Zhang Shaogang is on the opposite side of the protagonist this time and is destined to be a villain.
As for Jiang He, played by He Shengming, he is the uncle of the male protagonist and the father of the male protagonist's love rival and political enemy, from the perspective of this character relationship, the two have both power and family bonds.
And actor He Shengming's ancient costume has long been recognized during the "Palace Lock Heart Jade" period, and now he plays a male partner in "Changfeng Du", which is also destined to be good.
The last actor worth looking forward to, He Zhonghua, can be said to be a golden supporting role in book costume dramas. In the TV series "Long Moon Ember Ming" and "Agarwood Like Crumbs", he has his figure.
As a powerful actor with a high national reputation, He Zhonghua's acting skills are excellent, and now he appears in traffic and idol dramas, although the roles he portrays are often not very important, but his shaping power is not to be said.
This time, he and the male protagonist in "Changfeng Du" are monarchs and vassals, and the two are the superiors and subordinates who play with each other, and they are also key figures in the power line.
All in all, the drama "Changfeng Du" has spent a lot of effort in the configuration of actors. The combination of young actors + drama bone strength is destined to collide with different sparks.
The point is that in the known complex character relationships, the audience feels more of the rich content of the TV series in terms of plot.
