Preface
Unexpectedly, 2024 turned out to be Tong Yao's "world".
The family urban drama "Little Days" starring Tong Yao and Chen Xiao has just ended, and it is about to usher in the release of the new drama "Faint Fire".
and wants to take over the "bad drama" "Ode to Joy 5", which is broadcast more than half of the prime time of the central eight.
The audience said: "I can't wait", hurry up and change the drama, they are all driven crazy by He Minhong's "Our Lady Love Brain"!
"Faint Fire" starring Tong Yao, nicknamed "Little Zhang Ziyi", and Zhang Xincheng, the "Campus Male God", in fact, the trailer was released as early as May 2023, and it was not released until March 2024.
It is precisely because of the plot of "large-scale forbidden love" in the play that it has been delayed.
The drama "Faint Fire" has frequently appeared on the hot search because of its luxurious lineup, super-large scale, and explosive plot.
Let's first go through the trailer and take a peek at the leopard in the tube to see if it's worth it.
The drama version of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is full of suspense, desire, and scale!
It can be said that "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is a sexual enlightenment movie for countless boys.
tells the story of a young boy who falls in love with a "widow" in a small town in Sicily, Italy, and has a high score of 8.9 on Douban.
And the film "Faint Fire" continues the character setting of the movie, so it is jokingly called the domestic drama version of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" by netizens.
However, "Faint Fire" has made great changes in the adaptation and arrangement of the plot, which is still different from the movie.
First of all, in the TV series "Faint Fire", the "widow" became Nanya, a married mother who killed her husband after being subjected to domestic violence, and the "small-town youth" became Zhou Luo, a repeater who was expelled from a prestigious university, and finally the two really had a forbidden love.
The little boy in the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has always been in the midst of a "secret love" and fantasy of falling in love with a "widow", and in terms of the expression and meaning behind it, the movie will be more in-depth (we won't talk about the content of the movie for a long time).
So the TV series "Faint Fire" can be said to have the "shadow" of the movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but there is no similarity.
Now that we have figured out the difference between a TV series and a movie, let's analyze the details of the TV series "Faint Fire" frame by frame!
The first is the first encounter between Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng in the play.
Nanya's sweaty and wet hair touched Zhou Luo's arm for the first time, and suddenly tugged at the heartstrings in Zhou Luo's heart.
To be honest, this scene really has the feeling of a "rejoicing" shampoo advertisement, and the "unusual" relationship between the two has been paved from the first appearance.
As soon as the camera turned, accompanied by the rotation of the electric fan, in the stuffy tailor's hut, Nanya was wearing a thin dress with suspenders, her body was hot, and beads of sweat soaked her back.
And Zhou Luo, who was half naked, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to move forward when he looked at such a seductive back, but was suddenly turned back by Nanya and hit him.
This paragraph can be said to be full of desire and full of lens language, which raises the audience's emotions.
Then after one or two awkward reproaches and conversations, the two didn't know if it was Zhou Luo's fantasy or if they were really "entangled", and the two had "contact" for the first time.
In the preview of the next scene, Nanya is sitting on the ground with her hair scattered, being abused by the villagers, as a "widow", she looks so helpless and helpless.
And Zhou Luo could only watch the villagers' accusations against her from the sidelines, and she couldn't do anything herself.
But Zhou Luo still likes Nanya in his heart, and from time to time he will peep at Nanya in the window of the tailor shop.
It wasn't until Nanya was humiliated by the local man that Zhou Luo couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and stood in front of Nanya.
Nanya, who was despised and bullied, stood on the rooftop and walked to the edge of the cliff, and every time Zhou Luo, who followed Nanya, was silently "protecting her".
Unexpectedly, Nanya was on the edge of the cliff and turned around and asked Zhou Luo: "Do you want to swim?"
After that, Nanya plunged into the sea under the cliff, and Zhou Luo followed closely into the water, and the two of them played naked swimming in the water one after the other, and the scale was not too big.
Then Nanya went ashore barefoot and wet, wearing a white shirt, pacing on the shore, to be honest, it was not easy for such a scale to pass the trial.
Under the bright and dark sub-shots, washing up bloodstains, car explosions, and killing people with knives have simply earned enough attention from the audience.
Whether it was Nan Ya's murder or Zhou Luo's doing, and who was the murderer?
To be honest, after reading this trailer, the first half is really like the plot of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", which will make the audience think that it is the drama version of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" for the first time.
But in the second half, combined with the character settings of the characters, it immediately became a suspenseful and thrilling picture, which was really a bit unexpected.
Tell the truth! "Faint Fire" is indeed something different!
Luxurious lineup of directors and actors, quality assurance
I found out that the director of this drama is still Yao Xiaofeng, the director of the popular "Wind Chaser" on CCTV.
It can be said that now the popularity of "Wind Chaser" has caught up with the popularity of "Walking with the Phoenix", not only has more than 100 million broadcasts, but also the ratings are TOP1.
Moreover, the TV series directed by Yao Xiaofeng have maintained an average Douban score of about 8 points, which has also won a good reputation from the audience.
Therefore, after the release of "Faint Fire" on Yangba, it will definitely have a high reputation for popularity.
Not only is the director more reliable, but even the casting of the leading actors is very exquisite.
The heroine first chose Tong Yao, such a "powerful" actor with both appearance and acting skills.
After the debut of "Xizi" in "Militia Ge Erdan", Tong Yao's acting skills can be said to have been unanimously recognized by the audience.
and then played the role of "strong woman" Gu Jia in "Thirty Only", which became a big hit.
After that, every drama of Tong Yao can be said to have the shadow of "Gu Jia", and she has never gotten rid of Gu Jia's template.
However, in "Faint Fire", Tong Yao finally performed a completely different image of a "widow", which is impressive.
In terms of the male lead, he chose an actor like Zhang Xincheng who is obsessed with starring in campus dramas.
With the sunny and handsome image of "Little Fresh Meat", he has emerged in major film and television dramas and movies, and his acting skills are also obvious to all.
first played the youthful "little sun" Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Times", which is well-known to the audience.
Later, he starred in "The Chronicles of the Great Song Dynasty", Yuan Zhongxin, who was "alone" but finally became a young hero by accident.
and played the cute and silly white and sweet Li Yubing in "Stewed Pears with Rock Sugar", sprinkling dog food and showing affection in the whole play, which is simply sweet.
After the 2023 film version of "The Three Teams", after Zhang Xincheng made a cameo appearance as Cheng Bing's prison roommate "A Zhe", he seemed to have opened his own way of acting and began to transform into a "powerful faction".
Therefore, Zhang Xincheng's appearance in "Faint Fire" this time can be regarded as a kind of experience in acting, and I am looking forward to his acting skills in the play.
On the whole, with an excellent director and excellent actors, this drama should be considered to have quality assurance, depending on the response and reputation after the specific launch.
After all, a good lineup does not necessarily mean a good work, if you can't do the word "sincere", the plot drags on, the plagiarism is excessive, and the acting skills are exaggerated, and you will inevitably face the end of word-of-mouth hitting the street.
epilogue
According to the CCTV release habits, "Faint Fire" may be renamed before the release.
Because the recently hit "Wind Chaser" was renamed from "Riding the Wind and Waves" to "The Wind Chaser" the day before its release.
In the end, we don't know whether the plot will be deleted or not, and whether it will be renamed.
I can only hope that Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng can bring me different surprises!
What do you think of Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng's acting skills? Are you looking forward to their new drama?
