Uncle Yu is here to help everyone judge domestic dramas again.
Zhao Liying's new drama "Walking with the Phoenix" has been launched.
The battle of this drama is really not small.
Produced by Zhao Liying, the original work is from the author of "Canglan Jue", and the costume design is the team of "The Legend of Zhen Huan......
is also the second partner of the two leading actors after the popular "The Legend of Chu Qiao".
It seems to make up for the regret that there is no ending in the story.
Soon after the broadcast in the mainland, it was scheduled to be broadcast in South Korea.
The popularity of the series soared rapidly, and the number of hits reached the top with a record.
There are more than a thousand related hot searches.
Among them, Zhao Liying's playing actions were once out of the circle......
But who knows, the popularity is there, but the reputation is on the verge of collapse.
From the plot to the special effects, it seems that it is not satisfactory.
The most ruthless thing is that the actor is tired, like a "middle-aged puppet".
What kind of quality is it, Uncle Yu will help you give it a try-
Walking with the Phoenix
In fact, when Uncle Yu first opened this drama, his impression was not bad.
Compared with many green screen fake scenes with fairy puppets, the real-life shooting of the early plot of "Walking with the Phoenix" looks a lot fresher.
But soon, most of this freshness was ruined.
As soon as the protagonist arrives, the soft light is turned on, and the texture of the picture is very plastic.
The sharpness is sharply reduced, and it even seems to have the effect of a mirage.
Under the filter, all the clothing textures are also a lot cheaper.
There is a wind of shadow studios.
Let's look at the special effects.
Let's comment on it.
naturally
The actor is indeed tired.
In the corners of the eyes, eyebrows, and pupils, it is difficult to hide the traces of time.
The dermabrasion filter is very large, but it reveals more and more unnatural sadness.
But then again, Uncle Yu once wrote that the one-sided state trial of actors is too biased.
Everything depends on the quality of the episodes.
What is the plot of "Walking with the Phoenix"?
It seems that this is indeed another big heroine story.
Shen Li, played by Zhao Liying, is the first god of war in the spiritual world, King Bicang.
The opening scene is a fight, but such combat effectiveness is to escape marriage.
In order not to marry someone he didn't love, Shen Li deliberately got injured and took refuge in the mortal world.
The real phoenix fell from the sky and was rescued by the male protagonist Xingzhi (played by Lin Gengxin).
Open the copy of breeding escort and cultivate the relationship between the two.
It's a familiar plot direction.
I feel that things are always falling from the sky in fairy puppet dramas, and the frequency of high-altitude projectiles is extremely high.
It's either a dragon or a phoenix.,And then picked up by the protagonist to the starting edge.。
Uncle Yu remembered in a trance.
The last charred phoenix that fell from the sky is no longer in the entertainment industry.
"Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost"
But no matter how it falls, the audience knows that it must not be easy for someone to pick up the protagonist.
In the play, Xingzhi is the only ancient god left in the world.
He is responsible for maintaining the stability of the world.
It's just that when he picked up Shen Li, Xingzhi was cultivating in the mortal world.
Lost his mana, and only his memories remained.
A man who has been lonely for thousands of years with a great responsibility.
A battlefield has refined a hard body, but the heart longs for tenderness and protection.
It is conceivable that the two will have feelings in the world.
It can be seen that the story is not new.
So the creators did consciously add some highlights.
For example, contrast jokes.
女强男弱，日常相处画风也跟着颠倒。
The behavior is delicate and weak, and Shen Lili can carry the tripod.
But in order to repay the grace of saving his life, Shen Li had to give in everywhere.
I couldn't stand being annoyed by the annoyance and immediately turned my face, and the things I sent to the house flew up instantly.
is so angry that he stops racing the Northeast dialect, and the fairy puppet becomes a rural love in seconds.
「缸咂——！」
There is also the heroine's sober self-awareness.
Although the two wanted to stay together, they couldn't resist the attack of the pursuers.
Shen Li couldn't do anything to save the action, so he had to be arrested and imprisoned in the spirit world and wait for the marriage date.
During this time, the mortal body of the person who walked away grew old and died.
It means that the relationship between the two is also broken.
But compared with the madness of the protagonist in the previous ancient puppets who insisted on finding the reincarnation of his lover.
Shen Li felt that the reincarnation of the past was an obsession, and he should live his life well after a lifetime.
Such a normal heroine's brain can indeed be regarded as a clear stream.
In addition, the heroine's strength is also real.
At least, the successful suppression of the fierce beast relied on itself rather than relying on the male protagonist hero to save the beauty.
But unfortunately, although there are bright spots, it is still difficult to hide the chronic disease of fairy puppets and false heroine narratives.
For example, clichéd kernels.
After the end of the mortal cultivation, he returned to the divine position.
Of course, I met the heroine Shen Li again.
On the one hand, Xingzhi found that Shen Li's marriage contract was a misunderstanding that he casually referred to.
Seeing that the love is married to another person, it is naturally impossible.
But on the other hand, Xingzhi has the great responsibility of protecting the common people.
As we all know, the strongest god can't fall in love, and if he does, a large number of people will die inexplicably.
After all, with selfishness comes weakness.
So even if they reunited, they denied their feelings.
But he was biased and unmanaged, and he couldn't help but find all kinds of excuses to get along with Shen Li.
So both of them knew that they couldn't fall in love, but they both sank soberly.
In the end, we have to face the cruel choice of choosing one of the two loved by the common people again.
This narrative is clearly at risk of becoming obsolete.
After all, the screenwriter's other work "Canglan Jue" became a hit.
The main source of word-of-mouth is to break through this narrative and question the necessity of a dilemma.
It can be seen that the tastes of the audience have changed.
In addition, the so-called strong female setting is also untenable.
The audience sees Shen Li's "strong", and the premise is that the male protagonist is still stronger.
In terms of identity, behavior is already the ceiling.
In terms of combat power, he is one person who saves the people.
Shen Li killed a fierce beast and was injured in battle and was bedridden.
and then through his mouth, complete the side boast of the male protagonist who is single and fights ten thousand beasts.
Emotionally, it's the same logic.
Shen Li's heart was moved because Xingzhi saw her "weakness".
Restore her feminine identity and bring her a sense of care and security.
Seeing the other party's vulnerability is actually not a big problem.
But the key is that the emotional development in the early stage is not enough.
Especially for the male protagonist, the two of them just stayed together, so they didn't know what to do.
What's more, for a long time, Shen Li was still in pet form.
If it's just companionship and love, then this story is more like a bird's repayment.
There are occasionally several interactions between Shen Limei and the heroes who save the heroes, and they are also under control.
It's more like being at the mercy of a play than being tempted.
It seems more convincing to say that it is lustful, but what does it have to do with love?
At the same time, the actors' acting skills can't add points to the story.
was criticized as a "middle-aged puppet", that is, the sense of drama caused by the acting skills did not bridge the age vision.
For example, the heartbeat of a person who has not been emotionally moved for a long time does not rely on communicating details but still looking at each other in slow motion.
However, such a long time of looking at each other, there is no change in eyes and expressions.
Compared with romance, Uncle Yu admires the actor's standing skills more.
Another example is shyness, which relies on the blush effect added in the later stage.
This really surprised Uncle Yu, and the novelty was unexpected.
In fact, a series of side plots were originally set up in the play to enhance the emotional bond between the male and female protagonists.
However, due to the blunt sensitivity of the performance, it did not meet the catalytic expectations.
For example, even if you cultivate in the mortal world, you can still pinch and calculate.
The fame spread, attracting a soldier's wife to come to the door to ask for a fortune.
The reason is that her husband has been in the army for 15 years and has not been heard from.
But in fact, her husband had already been qualified to be promoted because of protecting his family and defending the country.
It's only because I'm obsessed too deep that I've been guarding my wife in the form of a soul.
Originally, Shen Li was deeply touched because he was also a person in the army.
Regardless of the reminder, I wanted to help the two meet.
unexpectedly found that husband and wife are different from immortals, and continuing to get along will only reduce their lifespan.
Shen Licai helped the man's soul return to peace like he used to extradite the soldiers who died in battle under his command.
But this should have been a bridge to show Shen Li's emphasis on love and righteousness and how to deal with life and death.
is also a little sad to lay the groundwork for the parting of the hero and heroine in the future.
But the actor's performance was expressionless, which obviously did not help the characterization.
This even makes it difficult to arouse empathy in the heart-to-heart dialogue between the hero and heroine in the future.
The progress of the relationship has also lost some credibility.
To be honest, it's hard to boast about such a performance.
Even, it can't compare to the pace and eye changes of the special effects little phoenix when she thinks.
In fact, based on the re-cooperation of the two leading actors, some tacit familiarity can be seen.
This made a few slight suffocations, all of which were more vivid than normal performances.
Moreover, such an acting performance is obviously not Zhao Liying's upper limit.
After all, in the recent "Article 20", her character's crying scene is quite infectious.
It is also seen as one of its successful attempts at transformation.
In fact, every time Uncle Yu writes the ancient puppet works of 85 flowers, he is quite helpless.
Their life experiences are gradually enriched, and it is the stage of seeking the complexity of reality.
They are also generally seeking transformation, trying to break through the invisible ceiling.
But often, after a little progress, it is beaten back to its original form by an ancient puppet.
But even so, 85 flowers seem to be entangled with ancient puppets.
Liu Yifei's "Menghualu", word-of-mouth discussion exploded.
Liu Shishi's "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" is also controversial.
Not long after, Yang Mi's "Fox Demon Little Red Lady" will be brought to the judgment seat again.
The lack of creativity in domestic entertainment makes ancient puppets still a stable cake in the market.
Shoot well, fame and fortune win-win.
The shooting was bad, and it didn't seem to have anything to lose.
Even because of the solidification of the industry, many people are calling for 85 flowers to return to rectify the ancient puppets.
In this way, the road to transformation is in a dilemma.
But don't forget, it's the audience who pays for it.
There are no flowers in 100 days, and the patience of the audience is probably too.
