Preface
Xianxia ancient puppet dramas have always been the audience's favorite, and there are countless young actors and not young actors who have joined them.
Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin's middle-aged idol drama "Walking with the Phoenix" has just ended, both of which are 85 flowers, but Tang Yan, who is 4 years older than Zhao Liying, also came to join in the fun!
Tang Yan and Liu Xueyi's Xianxia drama "Nian Wushuang" released a trailer yesterday, in which the stills of Tang Yan and Liu Xueyi aroused questions from the audience.
"Isn't this a mother and son?"
Tang Yan, who is 40 years old this year, is indeed not young, but she is still spinning in ancient puppets.
Although Liu Xueyi's actual age is 33 years old, he looks no different from twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which also makes the two seem very inconsistent when they play a couple.
However, when questioning the age of the two, there are always many fans who explain that the plot setting is like this.
So, let's take a look at the plot setting of "Nian Wushuang" first!
It's a fairy falling in love again
Of course, "Nian Wushuang" is also adapted from the novel, so we can understand the general context of the story according to the plot of the novel.
A little better than other routine ancient puppet dramas is that the heroine Wushuang in "Nian Wushuang" used to be a mortal who did organs.
Because of the good work of the mechanism, she soared after death and became a peerless goddess.
But the story after Wushuang became a fairy was similar to other vulgar fairy dramas, and he began to focus on falling in love.
Wushuang has a lover Taihe who almost pierced the window paper, because his artifact "God's Left Hand" was cut off in the battle of immortals and demons and was exiled to the mortal world.
After losing the artifact, Taihe's divine power will gradually deplete, and even eventually lose his soul.
Wushuang, who was bent on doing something for his sweetheart, coupled with the request of the heavenly realm, decided to turn into a mortal and go to find the artifact of Taihe.
And Taihe's "left hand of the gods", after falling into the mortal world, parasitized in the body of Yuan Zhong, the high priest of the Youhu clan of the god servant family.
After Wushuang came to the mortal world, he became a mortal Ji Tanyin and also became Yuan Zhong's maid.
Wushuang's plan was to wait until Gen Zhong died and then remove his left hand.
In the process of getting along with Wushuang and Genzhong, Wushuang found that Genzhong, who had the "left hand of God", had been bullied by his clan but never fought back, so he felt pity for him, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
Just when the two were sweet, another suitor of Taehe, Han Nu, also came to the mortal world.
Unlike Wushuang's idea of waiting until someone dies to take his hand, Han Nu is ready to cut off Yuan Zhong's hand immediately.
Wushuang disagreed, and the two also had a big fight.
In fact, Han Nu had already become a demon, so she trapped Wushuang in a small world and kept absorbing her divine power.
Yuan Zhong discovered Wushuang's true identity, and was more sure of his heart for Wushuang, and finally rescued the imprisoned Wushuang, teamed up to defeat Han Nu, and saved the Three Realms.
Many netizens who listened to the story shouted: "It's so boring!"
Indeed, the overall story of "Nian Wushuang" sounds very boring.
It's probably that the heroine Wushuang went down to earth to find an artifact, but fell in love with the parasite of the artifact, and then the two of them were together, and they didn't know how to save the Three Realms?
The Three Realms really didn't provoke you, please don't let the immortals of all walks of life save the Three Realms if they don't have anything to do.
If there were no other immortals to die, the Three Realms would not be able to live in peace.
Anyway, the phenomenon of the gods saving the world in the past was gradually lost in the creation process of Xianxia dramas.
The current Xianxia ancient puppet dramas, in short, are a lot of private settings, and the two worlds of immortals and demons in the past are no longer enough to reflect the editor's strong desire to create.
Therefore, the demon world has also experienced a long journey of changing its name in the human world.
In "Canglan Jue" is the Cangyan Sea, in "Walking with the Phoenix" is the spiritual world, in "Star Dew Condensed into Sugar" is the Shen Yuan clan, and in "Nian Wushuang", it has become the war ghost clan again, in short, it is a drama with a different name!
Although the Demon World has been changed in name, its personality is still the same as before, and it likes to raise troops and wars, in short, it doesn't love peace.
The fairy world has been greatly changed, and the former Jade Emperor Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun and other settings have all disappeared, and have turned into various gods, immortals, and immortals.
Anyway, it's all kinds of powerful, but none of them have any serious positions.
They seem to be immortals just to fall in love, and then take on the reputation of saving the Three Realms, they are really speechless.
If there is a love story of the land lord in internal entertainment, I am surprised, there is nothing new at all in only shooting the upper love story day by day.
Before the broadcast of "Seven O'clock Auspicious", the audience looked at the original book and thought that it was the son of the immortal monarch and the little fairy who was turned into a young man, who had no noble status, and looked forward to it for a long time.
As soon as it was broadcast, it was a story of the god of war and the heroine who secretly had a noble identity falling in love, and the audience was also disappointed.
However, this is a common problem in Xianxia dramas now, and it is not just a problem of "Nian Wushuang".
After the trailer was broadcast, the biggest controversy among the audience was Tang Yan's age.
Tang Yan plays a middle-aged puppet
Tang Yan, 40 years old this year, is actually going to return to the ancient puppet track!
The audience looked at Tang Yan holding Liu Xueyi's head, and deeply felt that they were mother and son, but it was really unacceptable for two people to play a couple.
Tang Yan's makeup is also the same eight-character bangs and funeral style white gauze in Xianxia dramas now, which makes everyone unrecognizable that this is Tang Yan.
Judging from the trailer released, the filter on Tang Yan's face is terrifyingly thick, and she can't see any real skin at all, and her facial features are blurred.
Looking closely at Tang Yan's forehead, there is actually a feeling of Ju Jingyi's fetal hair bangs.
Maybe it's because of the filter, or maybe it's because of Tang Yan's own aging, the collagen on her face is gone, and her cheeks are thin, her chin is sharp, and she looks like an Internet celebrity.
In fact, viewers who have seen Tang Yan's works know that Tang Yan's face is disadvantaged because her forehead is too big.
So in modern dramas, Tang Yan always has Qi bangs to block her forehead.
In costume dramas, Tang Yan's out-of-the-circle makeup is also a shape with a covering on her forehead.
In the 2016 broadcast of "Splendid Weiyang", Tang Yan did not have forehead decoration in ancient costumes, but she could also use her hair to cover her forehead to varying degrees.
But seeing that she is getting older, Tang Yan is now acting in costume dramas, and she doesn't do anything to cover her forehead, and the audience can't figure it out.
Sure enough, after losing Tang Yan's classic style, she was quite unpopular in Xianxia dramas.
In the face of Tang Yan and Liu Xueyi's intimate hug shot, Tang Yan can even see a little aunt because of the high-paste filter and the kind smile at the corner of her mouth, which also makes the two of them even less CP.
In the face of frequent middle-aged idol dramas, whether the male and female protagonists are equally middle-aged, or one of them is middle-aged, the audience feels uncomfortable.
However, many of Tang Yan's fans and friends said that Tang Yan's "Peerless Goddess" is thousands of years old, and Liu Xueyi's "Yuan Zhong" is only 200 years old.
However, the face of the fairy does not show his age at all, okay? The fairy actually has a sister and brother love, this statement is also funny.
In the human world, the highlight of sister-brother love lies in the calmness of the sister and the enthusiasm of the younger brother.
But in the world of immortals, the 200-year-old brother is enough for him to have rich experience, not to mention, watching the plot, this younger brother is still excluded and oppressed, I am afraid that he is more mature than the heroine, and the sister-brother relationship is not established at all.
epilogue
Although the novel of "Nian Wushuang" is obviously not interesting, the audience obviously puts their hopes on screenwriter Zhao Na.
Zhao Na's pen name is "Xiaoxiang Dong'er", and "Fire Military Academy" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" are both her original works and adaptations, so there is a reason why the audience has high expectations.
So, are you looking forward to the launch of "Nian Wushuang"? Are you optimistic about Tang Yan and Liu Xueyi's CP?
