In several costume suspense dramas broadcast this year, the problems are all with the actors.
The lineup of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is very strong, but Zhou Yiwei, who plays the leading role, creates a completely different image of Di Renjie.
The plot itself is full of highlights, but if you choose the wrong leading role, you can't boast about it.
"Shaoqing Tour of Dali Temple" brought by the actors of the youth group, I thought it would be a low-cost dark horse drama, but the image and temperament of the male actors are worse than the other, some are skinny and skinny, look very shriveled, and some deliberately pretend to be ugly.
And "Flower Order", a costume suspense drama about the wonderful entanglement of emotions and corpses, was destroyed on Ju Jingyi's body, and the unit-style detective drama can continue to bring freshness to everyone, Liu Xueyi is in full state, and his acting skills are also online.
is the only one who is Ju Jingyi, not like she is here to act, but like she is here for a beauty pageant, and her image is very similar to her previous works, copying and pasting makes people aesthetically tired.
After the costume suspense theme enters 2024, it will be losing down, is this kind of theme going silent again?
Don't panic, let the audience wait for a year and a half The costume drama "Tang Dynasty Tricks 2" is finally going to be broadcast, and the trailer of the play is currently being released, and I feel itchy to watch it just by watching the trailer.
First, all the staff assembled and headed west
"Tales of the Tang Dynasty", which will be broadcast in 2022, has sprung up and won a high rating of 7.9, which has also successfully pushed this kind of theme to a boom.
Because of the enthusiastic response, the main creative team that originally did not plan to make a sequel gathered together to create a new script to continue the story.
And the theme of this sequel is clearer, no longer sticking to the story location in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, but letting the two protagonists go out of the capital and go west.
One is to avoid disaster.
Lu Lingfeng (played by Yang Xuwen) has a special identity, and in the process of solving the case together with Di Renjie's closed disciple Su Wuming (played by Yang Zhigang) in the first part, the truth of his identity was revealed.
On the surface, he is Li Longji's favorite general, but he is also the biological son of Princess Taiping.
Judging from the story of the first part, Lu Lingfeng's biological mother, Princess Taiping, is about to withdraw from the stage of history, which makes Lu Lingfeng's situation more and more difficult.
Su Wuming took him west to avoid trouble, so as to protect Lu Lingfeng to the greatest extent, but judging from the preview, even so, Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming's westward journey was still full of difficulties.
This is inevitably reminiscent of the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties experienced by Tang Sanzang in the West, perhaps this is also the reason why the sequel to "Tang Dynasty Legends" is called Westward Journey.
The second is for experience.
Although he has experienced the ups and downs of the first part, and with the help of Su Wuming, he has solved cases one after another to improve his horizons, but Lu Lingfeng still needs to be experienced.
In the process of westward travel, everything is unknown, and it is difficult to do this kind of experience within the palace walls when it comes to encountering strange people and strange things.
And Su Wuming insisted on letting Lu Lingfeng go west, hoping to hone Lu Lingfeng's willpower and improve his personal strength through twists and turns along the way.
The third point is also very important, that is, to investigate the people's feelings and know the people's hearts.
The dispute between the temples in Chang'an City seems to have nothing to do with ordinary people, but in fact, it subtly affects them, and the power struggle within the palace walls suffers from the common people outside the palace walls.
And a person in the deep palace like Lu Lingfeng naturally didn't know this, Su Wuming took him west, just to let him see the customs and customs of the world, so that Lu Lingfeng could grow up as soon as possible.
Therefore, the westward journey of the two protagonists is inevitable.
And the journey of a thousand miles begins at the end of the micro. The crew of "Tales of the Tang Dynasty" not only carefully polished the script, but also spent time, effort and money, building a live shooting 1 to 1 to restore the scenes in the script.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, the actors were also allowed to shoot snow scenes in the summer of more than 30 degrees, and the team of excellence and dedicated actors worked together to help this sequel to have the quality of the original.
Second, the original team gathered, and the new characters raised expectations
For a sequel like "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey", whether to continue the original cast in the first part directly determines whether the audience can enter the play.
The cast of the first work may not have the popular top stream and popular drama bones, and the popularity is not high after the broadcast, but relying on the quality to get out of the circle, the originally not so eye-catching lineup has become an advantage.
It is Yang Xuwen who plays Lu Lingfeng in the play, he is not smiling in the trailer, his face is serious, and he is still the same.
Su Wuming, played by Yang Zhigang, is not so restrained in appearance, and is more reckless and free, but the feeling of being wise and foolish is still handled by him steadily.
and Fei Jishi played by Chen Chuang, whose image has not changed, still makes people feel very funny, and Pei Xijun played by Gao Siwen, who is cute and likable, and Sun Xuening's Cherry, who is also as heroic as ever.
These five people alone have already guaranteed the overall acting standards and highlights of the series, but the new characters can raise the expectations by a few points.
For example, Che Paul, who re-entered everyone's field of vision because of the show "Infinite Transcendence Class", was recommended by netizens to the crew of "Tang Dynasty Legends", and sure enough, we saw Che Paul in the play.
In the trailer, he floated around like a ghost, and with Che Paul's weird eyes, it immediately had a terrifying effect.
And Yu Yi, who previously starred in "Soul Ferry", will also participate in this drama, and he will play the bold and chic Tang Dynasty artist in the play, just looking at the appearance is very emotional.
and in the hit drama "When the Stars Shine", Wang Maolei, who played the villain spy, also appeared in the trailer of "Tang Dynasty Tricks: Westward Journey", dressed in ancient costume, the most eye-catching thing is the deformity of his eyes, which is already a little scary, and Wang Maolei's eyes are even more gloomy.
Heizi, who has also worked with director Guo Jingyu several times, will also play an important role in the play, and these actors have also cooperated with Yang Zhigang, I believe that it will not hold back the drama, but is more like icing on the cake.
Such a work that integrates elements of costume suspense and strange spirits is just a visual experience that other works can't give.
And this sequel looks full of sincerity, the scenery, the service, the script have been carefully polished, and there are all kinds of beautiful scenery on the way to the west, and an ultimate visual experience is coming.
This kind of drama that can be called an S-level big production, are you looking forward to it?
