"Le You Yuan" is a costume love conspiracy drama written by the original author Kuang I Sicun himself, and directed by Hong Kong director Cheng Weiwen.
The series combines strong characters, family and country feelings, palace intrigue, battlefield killing, espionage-free warfare and love games, which not only has the skin of an ancient puppet drama, but also has the core of a high-end bureau.
I watched the premiere of 4 episodes last night, and the beginning was the turmoil in the court and the fall of imperial power, and then the seventeenth highness Li Wei (played by Xu Kai), who had been on the border of the foreign army, was forced to take on the heavy task of counterinsurgency, and soon intersected with Cui Lin (played by Jing Tian), a military captain of the Cui family who hid his true identity, and then the two started various encounters with chess opponents.
Judging from the overall perception of the first 4 episodes, it can be predicted that there will be great hope that the show will be out of the circle.
Why?
Next, I will break it down for you one by one, and you will know that what I said is true.
Let's talk about screenwriter Bandit Sicun and director Zheng Weiwen first
These two are big names in the industry.
In 2015, he established Shuangqi Pictures with publisher Shen Xunying and started the preparation and production of a number of film and television dramas.
In 2020, the web drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", which she was the chief planner, quickly caused a sensation as soon as it was broadcast, and Zhao Lusi, who was only 21 years old, became an instant hit.
Hong Kong director Cheng Weiwen, co-directed by him and Chen Jialin in the costume power plot fairy drama "Chen Qingling", has created the myth of low-cost online dramas, and sent Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Meng Ziyi and other actors to the peak of their acting careers in one fell swoop.
To sum up, it is not difficult to predict that under the joint efforts of two industry leaders, "Le You Yuan" is likely to break out of the circle again, which is not a lie, after all, the creative team has the foundation to win the battle.
Let's talk about the starring lineup and their respective performances
Xu Kai was 26 years old and Jing Tian was 33 years old when filming "Le You Yuan", I originally thought that Jing Tian was 7 years older than Xu Kai, but I was afraid that the effect of filming would not have a sense of CP, but it turned out that I was too worried.
Xu Kai played Li Wei has nothing to say, he is no longer the raw melon egg who was still a little green in his performance, after several years of experience, his acting skills have obviously improved qualitatively, and the role of Li Wei has been portrayed very successfully.
After Jing Tian successfully portrayed the role of the half-demon Sito in the fantasy suspense drama "Sito", her acting skills have also won the recognition of many audiences.
The male and female protagonists can be said to have no problems at all in the role building, I believe that all friends who have watched the show should no longer have worries about this, Xu Kai's partner Jing Tian is very suitable.
In addition to the above two super popular leading actors, the play also has Zheng Hehuizi, Gao Han, Zhao Jiamin, Liu Dongqin, He Fengtian, Liu Yuning, Shi Shi and other young actors who coexist with their appearance and acting skills.
There are also powerful actors like Yu Bo , Zeng Li , Gao Shuguang , Zhu Hongjia , Jiang Kai , He Zhonghua are willing to be blessed by green leaves, which shows the good intentions in the matching of actors.
It's just such a luxurious cast, I believe many viewers will flock to it, anyway, I've been looking forward to it very much, and I really didn't disappoint after watching it.
Finally, let's talk about the core of the story of the high-end bureau
Although the background of the creation of "Le You Yuan" is completely avoided, it has its own world, with all kinds of dynasties, princes, and generals.
At the beginning of the play, someone killed the emperor to seek power and usurp the throne, and then Li Wei, who was the emperor's grandson, began to raise troops to quell the rebellion, and then faced the Cui family army who wanted to fish in troubled waters in order to prepare grain and grass.
War and chaos must be a crowd of heroes, the bureau is there, and then there are all kinds of battlefield killings and spy warfare, which is naturally indispensable to the feelings of family and country, as well as the love-hate entanglement derived from the intersection.
Li Wei and Cui Lin had to prepare food and grass for their respective camps at the beginning, but after many-for-tat confrontations, the two gradually developed feelings for each other, and then started fighting as soon as they met, and finally turned into a sympathetic and teamed up to break the game.
How the two plot the country, and finally use the country as a job to achieve a story through the ages, will undoubtedly be the biggest highlight of the show.
Like this, with the plot as the background board, and various dense conflicts as the cornerstone to promote the development of feelings, the final effect will naturally be particularly exciting and interesting.
The quality of the script is hard enough, and the actors' character creation is brilliant enough, so it's no wonder that the response to "Le Youyuan" was so good as soon as it was broadcast.
If the show doesn't start high and go low, I believe it will eventually become popular out of the circle, so let's wait and see!
