Recently, there has been a lot of heated discussions on the Internet, and a high-profile online drama "Celebrating More Than Years" has been updated more than halfway, which has sparked extensive discussions. Interestingly, viewers have pointed out that there are many similarities between the show and the previously hit "Langya Bang", from the core of the main line to the elements of the drama to the final goal, there seem to be striking similarities. Did this coincidence happen by accident or was there something else behind it?
First of all, let's explore the main core of "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Langya Bang". Both dramas are based on a grand historical background, and show the fierceness of power struggles and the complexity of human nature through the narration of the intricate relationships between the characters. In "Celebrating More Than Years", the battle for the prince has become one of the main lines, and various forces compete for the throne, triggering a series of magnificent stories.
In "Langya Bang", there is also an open and secret struggle for power, and the two coincide. This similarity is not only vividly expressed in the ups and downs of the story, but also in the portrayal of the characters.
Secondly, we can look at these two works from the perspective of episodic elements.
In "Celebrating More Than Years", martial arts masters emerge in an endless stream, and heroes from all walks of life appear one after another, adding a lot of color to the plot. And this setting is just like the martial arts hegemony in "Langya Bang", where the strong men of different sects compete for wits and courage. This method of promoting the development of the storyline through the duel of martial arts masters makes the two dramas show similarities in the use of elements.
In addition, the introduction of elements such as the dispute between the princes and the foreign peace talks also reminded the audience of the plot of the palace struggle and foreign invasion in "Langya Bang", so that the similarity between the two became more and more significant.
Moreover, the ultimate goal is also an aspect that we cannot ignore. Although the backgrounds of "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Langya Bang" are completely different, they both reveal the complexity of human nature by telling the story of power struggles.
In these two dramas, the choices of the characters often involve the life and death of the family, the country and the individual, and there are deep human considerations hidden behind the power scheme. In the process of chasing the drama, the audience can't help but think about what choice each character will make in the face of the temptation of power, which is a battle of hearts.
It is through the depiction of this kind of human nature that the audience is able to think deeply about the complexity of human nature while appreciating the plot.
In addition to the similarities in the above aspects, we can also find the commonalities between the two dramas from the production team, cast, etc. Production teams are inevitably inspired by previous works in the creative process, and actors' performances can also be influenced in some way by previous successful works.
This may be one of the reasons for the similarities between the two dramas. When a production team is immersed in a certain type of story, it is difficult to completely avoid showing similar elements in subsequent works. This also provides viewers with a sense of familiarity, making them more receptive to new episodes.
However, we also can't ignore the uniqueness of each show.
Although "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Langya Bang" have a striking similarity, there are still many differences in detail processing, plot advancement, etc. Each work has its own unique way of expression and creative approach, which is also a key factor in attracting the audience. While pursuing innovation, the production team will also add some new elements on the basis of inheriting the classics to make the work more attractive.
Therefore, despite the similarities, "Celebrating More Than Years" still has its own unique charm.
To sum up, although "Celebrating More Than Years" is more than half updated, there are many similarities with "Langya Bang", but we can't just regard this similarity as a coincidence. In the field of film and television creation, it is commonplace to learn from and reference the successful experience of predecessors, so the similarities may also be inspired by the works of predecessors.
However, this does not prevent each show from winning the hearts of the audience through its unique creativity and expression. When watching, we may be able to pay more attention to the uniqueness of each show, rather than just staying on the surface of similarities.
In general, although there are many similarities between "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Langya Bang", there are still differences in detail and expression.
Each drama has its own unique charm, which attracts the audience to think deeply about issues such as human nature, history, and power schemes. With the development of the plot, I believe that the audience will find more resonance points in these two works and experience different emotional impacts.
