Jade Bone Haruka: The oriental romance of the unity of heaven and man, pure love to the limit of desire

"Jade Bone Haruka" is a drama with particularly obvious advantages and disadvantages, but because its advantages are too rare in recent years, it is very appetizing to me, so I just want to talk about its advantages.

For example, just for the refreshing and refreshing plastic surgery face of all the staff, no heavy makeup, no high-P filter, no five-haired special effects, it has already won more than 90% of fairy dramas, not to mention a fairy male protagonist at the ceiling level of an ancient puppet.

The crew obviously chose the actors with heart, all the members of the Yuren family are high-looking, and the young actors are all very cute, and they are really almost cute by Xiao Ruyi.

Of course, the place of care is not only the actors, but also the nine mountains like a fairyland, the vast and magnificent Western Wilderness, and the special effects and real scenes.

Of course, not everyone likes "Jade Bone Haruka", but as long as everyone who has seen "Jade Bone Haruka" can see its seriousness and sincerity.

When I wrote Xiao Zhan before, I said that the dramas he starred in were all in his own style.

"The Sea of Dreams", like "Jade Bone Haruka", in addition to sincerity, there is a seemingly contradictory but very subtle sense of balance, both old-school and trendy, anyway, it is different from works of the same theme.

I always feel that this is very similar to the temperament of Xiao Zhan, who loves Duanshui and has a strong heart, flat and stable.

This "old school" is difficult to describe, not a derogatory conservative rigidity, but a kind of adherence that many people will feel out of place at the moment, just like no matter how the times change, no matter what others think and do, Xiao Chunsheng has his own set of operating rules in his heart, and Shiying has always adhered to the Taoist heart.

However, the amazing thing in this world is that fashion is always reincarnation, and the so-called old school, at some point, can also ride the retro east wind and become a sought-after new trend, that is, "to adapt to all changes".

For example, domestic dramas always follow the trend for a while, in previous years, fairy tale dramas were popular with minimalist "funeral style", Westernized service Dao, and in the past two years, a very complex Dunhuang style and online game style have begun to rise, of course, the story is always to change the soup without changing the medicine, and the immortals live for thousands of years and only know to fall in love.

For example, in the face of more and more dazzling viewing choices, the audience's excitement threshold has become higher and higher, many dramas have no patience, dare not tell stories according to the normal rhythm, piled up all kinds of explosive dog blood, fast-paced short dramas have been particularly popular in the past two years, so fast that the audience has no time to abandon the drama.

But all this has nothing to do with "Jade Bone Haruka".

It seems to be in its own way, the core is dominated by a "stable" word, according to its own pace, tell its own story, use its own aesthetics, and say its own philosophy.

In fact, the original work of "Jade Bone Yao" is a prequel "Zhu Yan" of the Cangyue Mirror series, and the world view setting is originally its own.

Strictly speaking, it does not belong to the fairy tales of the female frequency nor the fantasy of the male frequency, and I think the definition of "oriental fantasy" is more accurate - a fantasy full of oriental aesthetics and oriental romanticism.

The beautiful real scenes, special effects, these oriental aesthetics visible to the naked eye, poor and strange, chaotic, and heavy understanding of these exotic beasts in ancient mythology, will not be repeated; The thought moves the heavens, the heart blooms, the stubborn stone nods, the clouds move... The image of these people colliding with nature is also a magnificent oriental romance.

The "slow" of "Jade Bone Haruka" has been written before, in fact, there is quite a long-lost feeling of "once upon a time slow".

Its slowness is not chattering and dragging, but unhurried and calm.

The vast majority of people who abandon the drama because of the plot do not like or are not used to this slowness, but once they slow down with it, they will enjoy it very much.

Many people say that the first 23 episodes could be compressed into 10 episodes, but I, probably one of the few people who prefer the first half, is probably one of the few who prefers the first half.

Idol dramas, especially fairy tale dramas, are often upward-looking castles in the air, but "Jade Bone Yao" will actually look down, and even seriously build the foundation, so it not only does not have the sense of modern people wearing costume cosplay common in costume dramas at present, but at the same time of fairy fluttering, it has a more sense of substitution than most landing ancient dolls, allowing people to immerse themselves in ancient life when chasing dramas.

In this regard, the foreshadowing of the first 23 episodes is indispensable.

It has a kind of seriousness, for example, Shiying gives people to be a master, that is really to be a master, to explain the rules of the magic world clearly, so that the people who follow the drama almost have an illusion that they can also learn the technique.

After all, these rules are also based on the familiar traditional Chinese philosophical idea of "the unity of heaven and man", the most powerful attack technique "Tianjie" is to borrow power from the sky, the most powerful defense technique "Thousand Trees" is to borrow power from the earth, and the star return blood oath of Zhu Yan's resurrection shadow is to borrow power from the void time.

By the way, Xiao Zhan's lines, at the beginning, there were people who complained that he was too clear to bite the words and other problems, but I think that the vast majority of people should be the same as me, the more I listen, the more I feel that Shiying should speak like this, with a unique rhythm, clear and ancient, showing the sincerity of a board, the stubbornness of the outside and the rigidity of the inside.

With the expression and demeanor of Time Shadow, it presents a restrained amorous flow, flexible workmanship, and the ancient people through and through, which is very suitable for the style of the entire drama.

When I wrote "Dream Sea" before, I wrote about the "symmetrical aesthetics" of many pictures, emotions and events in the play, and there are also many such neat and flexible "symmetrical aesthetics" in "Jade Bone Haruka".

When Shiying taught at Jiujiang Mountain, he told everyone that monasticism is actually to recognize the operation mechanism of all things in the world.

Chinese symmetry originally comes from nature, from the pursuit of the order of all things in heaven and earth, and the rules of magic borrowing power are also based on this balance and constraint.

This is also destined to "Jade Bone Haruka" will interpret this symmetrical aesthetic to the extreme: from the perspective of the characters, it is feng shui that rotates, borrow and return, from the plot point of view, all logic is closed, from the screenwriter's point of view, all foreshadowing corresponds to the ending.

In the first half of the story, Shiying is "born", which is Taoist inaction, indisputability, and Taoist nature;

In the second half of the story, Shiying's "entry into the world" is the Confucian subconscious of the family and the world, and it is also the sacrifice of life for righteousness, killing oneself to become benevolent, although tens of millions of people go to the end.

At the end of the story, I think Time Shadow is dead, it's be, but some people think Time Shadow is not dead, it's he.

But no matter how you understand it, the tone of the whole drama is very sad, perhaps because the word "remote" in the title of the play is full of parting.

Shiying is destined to die at the hands of Zhu Yan, and all the efforts made by Dasimei and Chongming cannot change this ending, which is very beautiful in ancient Greek tragedy, in the face of fate, no matter how hard people fight, they can't do anything.

But in the bones, it is still the tragic aesthetics of the East.

The fate of Time Shadow does not originate from an oracle for no reason, but can trace the past yin and yang, and it is the snow that makes the gears of fate begin to turn.

In the end, the killing of the gods is not to emphasize the individual heroes to resist the gods, but to abandon the individual's "to save Li Yuan from danger", and the cultivator will eventually be martyred.

The characters know their fate but do not admit it, give up the small self for the big self, the story is sad but not pessimistic, and the sadness is lined with happy scenery, which is more Chinese.

But it doesn't stop there.

For Shiying, falling in love with Zhu Yan is a sober sinking, and saving Kong Sang is hopeless and futile.

Knowing that the outcome will not change, so will he.

He himself has already accepted everything calmly and even gladly, and only others will be unwilling, reluctant, and sad for him.

Sealing the God of Destruction at the expense of himself, everyone else has a happy ending, even his final death is so beautiful, as if it is really a fairy calamity, as if everything is complete, but your heart is empty.

Looking back after the finale, the first 23 episodes also laid the groundwork for the emotions between the male and female protagonists.

was shocked by wine Mo to sleep heavily, gambling books to splash tea fragrance.

At that time, it was just ordinary.

The emotional drama in "Jade Bone Haruka" is like sitting alone in a corner and writing letters to distant lovers one by one when you can hang up a video call at will.

It's not that because they are male and female protagonists, they must fall in love with each other, you can fully see why they are moved and how they fall step by step.

This is the most imaginable "Kaolin no Hana pulled down the altar" I have ever seen.

The protagonists of "Jade Bone Haruka" are mortals, their lifespan is not inflationary, so the passage of time is clearly visible, from meeting when they were young, fighting like elementary school students, clumsy and pure affection for each other, to unconsciously giving birth to the desire to stay together, and even can't help but want to get close to each other.

I have to praise director Jiang Jiajun, there are many emotional pulls in idol dramas, but rarely "Jade Bone Yao" is like this, not only pure love, but also the pull of desire when love goes to the depths.

Blood-stained feet, trembling wrists, tracing lip shapes, temperature of fingertips, ripples in dreams, gasps waking up, touch-and-drop collisions, unprepared hugs...

Seeing the blowing in the ears, thinking of the ear sideburns,

Seeing the hazy figure, I thought of the curtain lingering.

Said to be abstinent, but very colorful, really filmed "although he is dedicated to the Tao, but the blood is square", so that the audience can't help but blush and ears hot sexual tension.

In fact, the screenwriter's narrative skills are limited, and some places can be better, but I still want to praise it, because I can really feel her seriousness and hard work.

On the one hand, her literary literacy is good, or she has done a lot of homework in writing, and the lines are at least not contentless vernacular, such as the classic "what is the learner", such as the spell of the last queen of heaven.

On the other hand, there are some small thoughts on the details, such as Time Shadow turning into a little white beast, such as Zhu Yan seeing those loves she had missed in Time Shadow's spiritual enchantment, and so on.

Lack of ability and perfunctory routines are always two different things, in fact, this drama could have been very bloody, such as those beautiful female partners, white snow herons, white snow warblers, casually carry one out to engage in polyamorous love with the male protagonist, such as you make Zhiyuan or Shi Yu a little worse, or even extreme, isn't it lively?

But the screenwriter did not do this, so "Jade Bone Haruka" is now "Jade Bone Haruka" that is refreshing and refreshing whether watching the actors or watching the plot.

Even sadness is not thick and colorful, but faint, with a long aftertaste.

The whole drama is like a fresh and elegant, delicate and beautiful poem, which is shocking to read.

All in all, this summer, thanks to "Jade Bone Haruka"!
