Before you know it, you're almost halfway through this year.
But it seems that among domestic dramas, there has not been a real hit drama yet.
Uncle Yu was unwilling and searched everywhere.
Don't say it, you really found a dark horse.
I watched eight episodes in one go and was stunned by the quality.
I also found that some viewers have the same perception as Uncle Yu.
"Why don't you make a big noise?"
searched for it, and it turned out to be an all-original script.
Looking at the production team again, I was even more surprised.
Screenwriter Bai Yicong is also the producer of this drama.
has previously adapted one of the best-known tomb robbery dramas "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City".
Chief director Lou Jian, who was born in a drama.
made an online drama for the first time, and achieved the dark horse "The Royal Gift" three years ago.
Styling director Chen Minzheng, who has directed the Winter Olympics and cooperated with Zhang Yimou ("Shadow" and "On the Cliff").
But the audience is most familiar with his works, or "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Art director Liu Yongqi, whose works are also at the level of "Three-Body Problem" and "Big Dyeing Workshop".
Uncle Yu was also amazed by the play in the play.
Then I found out that Yuan Xiangren (the action designer of "Kung Fu", "Huang Feihong", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng") actually made a cameo in the play.
There are also quite a lot of old drama bones involved.
Li Liqun and Liu Peiqi don't need to be repeated, I also discovered the former beautiful men in ancient costumes, Qiao Zhenyu, Huang Haibing, and the protagonist group of "The Story of the Cooking Class".
It's an easter egg.
Good fellow, this kind of battle is far from just the current splash.
Let's talk about -
"Sky Walker"
Just looking at the title, I thought the content was a bit serious.
But after I started chasing the drama, it was really a bit unexpected.
This is actually a drama with the theme of detective + treasure hunting.
I only watched one episode of Uncle Yu and went to the top.
First of all, because the treasure sought is not ordinary, enough to overthrow the imperial power.
It is rumored that during the Kangxi period, the emperor burned Shaolin, and the reason has been speculated in many ways.
In the play, it is for a pure altar secret.
The secret treasure contains countless gold and silver treasures, as well as long-lost martial arts secrets.
These things were placed in the late Qing Dynasty, which was in turmoil, and they were simply a sharp weapon for power.
Thus, four forces appeared.
The prince of the royal family wants to seize the treasure, buy off the war power, and force the palace to usurp the throne.
The Japanese forces also wanted to compete for it, so as to increase their strength and further carve up China.
At the same time, the Restoration-oriented League was also interested in treasure hunting and revolution.
Of course, even in the last days, the dynasty still has to maintain its rule.
Therefore, the Qing court's internal affairs office also went to seize the treasure.
It is conceivable that the entanglement and competition of many forces will naturally surprise and surprise the process.
And the reason why people are on the top is that this Quartet Treasure Hunt was filmed quite excitingly.
Clues are hooked, brain-burning and immersive.
The IQ of all members is online, and no one is stupid and sweet.
A look, a movement, an inconspicuous word can be the key to turning the tide.
At the beginning of the series, someone announced the seizure of power by pretending to be a celestial phenomenon.
This means that the end of the road to the treasure is a fierce battle.
The invisible countdown urges and makes the process more urgent and exciting.
The pace is fast, and there are few wasted pens.
It's been a long time since there has been such a new drama that makes me not want to drive at double speed.
In addition, the more urgent the task, the more you can't drag the mud and water, so the plot also throws away all the fancy shelves.
In order to track down the clues of the treasure, several passers-by in the treasure hunting group used more ruthless methods than one another.
Don't talk about morality, regardless of the rules, it's faster and more ruthless.
So the scale is fully open, there are no taboos, and there is a rare crisp and refreshing feeling in domestic dramas.
And what makes Uncle Yu even happier is that there are a lot of jokes in such a compact and urgent plot.
For example, three teams of treasure hunters followed the treasure clues to the concession.
In order to get rid of himself, he invariably decided to pretend to be the other party.
You pretend to be me, I pretend to be you, colliding with unexpected laughter, and the main theme is a serious and lively.
All of the above is supported by a solid production that is visible to the naked eye.
Real acting, real shooting, not playing false.
Not to mention the acting skills of the old actors, and the young actors have no one to pull their hips.
Therefore, it is easier for the audience to have a sense of substitution.
is like the fight scene of this drama, which is so sincere that it makes people sigh.
I don't remember the last time I saw a fight scene without any slow motion.
But everyone also knows that the so-called detective treasure hunt is just a means.
The purpose of using the treasure is the real focus of the story.
And what holds up the whole drama is the most exciting thing is its core - saving the country.
Such a grand proposition, if you don't get it right, you will have a sense of preaching.
But the wonderful thing is that the creators do the opposite.
Of the several protagonists, none of them are aiming to save the country.
Mu Qing (played by Qin Junjie), who represents the internal affairs office of the Qing Dynasty, hunts for treasures to avoid his own prison.
He was originally the imperial guard with a sword in front of the scenery, and the left and right hand of Emperor Guangxu.
Wen Neng judged the case, and Wu Guandai was imprisoned for following the emperor's change of law, and he was trapped for 12 years.
Status, glory, and love all disappeared.
Tracking down the theft of the treasure map is his only chance to see the light of day.
On the other side, the prince wanted to usurp the throne.
The treasure hunter Zhuo Bufan (played by Liu Yuning) is to revive the sword school with the help of imperial power.
He was already the number one swordsman in the world, with an arrogant temperament and disdain to cling.
It was only because of the great kindness of the sect that he consciously took on the great responsibility when the sect withered.
Be a smart person who bows his head once and changes his future.
There is also a small catcher Wang Jialuo (played by Pang Hanchen), who is simply stubborn and axial.
The imperial examination was abolished overnight, making it futile for him to study and practice martial arts for many years, so he had to find another way out to catch fast.
But the doctrine of the sage in his head made him still believe in the justice represented by the laws of the Qing Dynasty and the ideal way of the world mentioned in the four sentences of Hengqu.
So, for a homicide case in the jurisdiction, he chased the murderer for thousands of miles.
Whoever says anything is useless, and no one can make it, so he accidentally joins the treasure hunt.
But the three soon discovered how ridiculous selfish desires were in troubled times.
In the play, the characters' costumes, hairstyles, dialects, nationalities, and buildings are all half-ancient and half-oceanic, and they seem to be messy.
This is a sign of the reality of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the dynasty has come to an end.
After Mu Qing was released from prison, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he found a memorabilia and learned about the major events in the world that happened during his detention.
only to find that within twelve years, all that was written in the booklet was humiliation.
When it came to the concession, feudal power had become a joke.
To investigate the case, you have to ask for instructions from the concession, and the soldiers can point their guns at the minister, and this is no longer their own territory.
Mu Qing's self-salvation based on the promise of the imperial court is bound to collapse with the dynasty.
Zhuo Bufan wanted to keep the home of the representative of the Sword Sect.
For this reason, he even threw away the chivalry represented by the long sword in his hand, and did not dare to make a move when he saw people being bullied.
But he didn't realize the truth of the country's demise.
The name of "the No. 1 Sword Sect in the world", just like the imperial power sought by the rebel prince, is a ridiculous false name.
The justice that Wang Jialuo insists on is even more like a grasshopper shaking a tree.
The dynasty is rotten, and personal justice is even more pedantic and stubborn.
What the three of them want to save is all about the whole country.
Saving the country means saving oneself, and it will gradually become their destiny.
But the audience knows the history and knows that this will be a heroic road.
Just like in the sixth episode, the various forces meet.
The court wants to take the thief, and the criminal will be arrested soon, and it will soon become a mess.
The Japanese side watched coldly and quietly, which was very ironic.
Internal and external troubles, the people of the country did not wake up, just like the situation of the country at that time.
And they don't know the true meaning of the treasure.
In this troubled world, it is enough to destroy the country and save the country.
In order not to fall into the hands of the wolf's ambitions, generation after generation of treasure keepers have kept their lives together.
There are also pioneers of law reform such as the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu, countless patriotic people with lofty ideals, and every ordinary person with faith, all of whom relay.
Wake up the people with blood, and save the country with treasures.
In this way, it will have to be put in the hands of someone who can truly restore the state.
Because the real treasure is the luck of the country and the vitality of the nation.
It is only at this point that the true meaning of the title of the play emerges.
Taken from "Zhou Yi", "Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement".
All young people should keep moving forward, be resolute and resolute, and face the troubled times.
The inexplicable ignition even gave Uncle Yu a little bit of the feeling of watching "The Awakening Age" at the beginning.
Discovering this drama made Uncle Yu both surprised and emotional.
I want to talk to you again, what makes a good drama.
Maybe everyone has an answer in their hearts.
But I always feel that the words "respect for the audience" are inseparable from it.
Three years ago, "The Royal Gift" unexpectedly exploded in word-of-mouth, relying on this kind of sincerity visible to the naked eye.
When watching "Tian Xingjian", this feeling deepened again.
To put it bluntly, "respect for the audience" actually means that the creative team trusts the audience.
Because I believe in the audience's acceptance, I dare to write original stories.
Compact line narrative to speed up the progress.
I believe in the audience's appreciation, so I dare not take the traffic route and concentrate on creating quality.
I know that as long as I tell the story with dedication and sincerity, I will definitely get the same seriousness from the audience.
It's like there are many people nowadays who have begun to discuss the details of the plot.
has the confidence to withstand careful research, and naturally dares to set up a sufficiently complex and entangled force.
Dare to bury metaphors, and dare to give a fierce shot.
Just like many of the picture designs in the play, they all have their own amount of information.
A student hangs from a beam to death, and Bai Aya is a high-hanging cloth sail full of hypocrisy, benevolence, righteousness and morality.
The name cannot be used as a weapon, and the saints cannot save the weak country, but will only become a bondage and bury the countrymen.
The usurper prince compares himself to the Buddha, and thinks that he can change the world and overwhelm the anti-thief powers through the ages.
But I didn't know that Lang Lang Qingtian was no longer on his head, and he was just a praying mantis catching cicadas.
Naturally, it is indispensable to dare to create enough diverse and complex characters.
The group portrait characters in the play are very surprising.
For example, Tang Yu, a young disciple of the Sword Sect.
He was one of the few literate people in a gang that was almost all orphaned beggars.
Tang Yu's swordsmanship was ruthless, and he obeyed orders and participated in the assassination of many members of the Alliance.
But I can't stand the unbelievable slogans in their mouths.
He was amazed by the heroic poems written by Qiu Jin, and he was deeply affected, and read them to his brothers over and over again.
Then he even had the idea of participating in the revolution.
Even if he didn't know much about it, he only had simple blood.
The evil act of killing people coexists with the ideal of saving the country, and it is difficult for the audience to define this character.
It also proves that the role is full, after all, a real person is three-dimensional and multi-faceted, not only a thin character.
And then Tang Yu died quickly, and in his arms, he even held the poems he copied down tightly.
A few simple strokes and a few shots are enough to make the audience have mixed tastes, and effective character building is nothing more than that.
It is also because of trust in the audience that he dares to tell the truth.
Many lines in the play are real enough to make people think deeply.
For example, the powerful have a noble destiny, and they feel that the ass determines the head.
Talking about democracy in the Qing Dynasty is simply nonsense.
It is indeed arrogant now, but at that time when the people's wisdom was not opened, it was not the world's situation.
is like Detective Mu Qing, who ignored the rules many times, and said frankly in the face of Wang Jialuo's questioning.
The laws of the Qing Dynasty believed in by the people at the bottom were the most effective weapons to control them.
But in the eyes of the privileged class, it is nothing more than nothing.
Another example is that the play directly debunks the hypocrisy of the word "eternal".
When people die, the lights go out, like dirt and ashes, and false names are the most useless.
The stench of 10,000 years is just a rhetoric of success and defeat.
All of the above is the key to a good drama.
It also proves that the emergence of a good drama is the result of mutual trust between the creator and the audience.
Word of mouth, after all, is a heart-for-heart.
Probably domestic dramas should also be a sentence of Tianxingjian, and they should keep moving forward.
