When it comes to fantasy dramas, which drama comes to mind first?
may be adapted from a series of web dramas from "Notes on Tomb Robbery", such as "Diving Sand in the Angry Sea & Qinling Sacred Tree", "Restart the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder" and so on.
Or maybe it is adapted from the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series "Longling Grotto", "Angry Qing Xiangxi" and so on, these dramas continue the suspense and adventure elements of the original book, providing the audience with rich visual enjoyment and story experience.
However, as traffic dominates casting, the homogenization of adaptation is becoming more and more serious, and the quality of fantasy dramas in recent years has become worse and worse.
Could it be that fantasy dramas are going to be in a downturn because of this?
Don't worry, here's it-
According to online rumors, "The Ballad of Ice and Snow" will be launched in Goose Factory in late July, and the audience is finally waiting for a decent fantasy drama.
How sure is this drama going to win?
The main creators of "Sito" gathered, and then told the fantasy story of the Republic of China
"The Ballad of Ice and Snow" tells the story of a gentleman and celebrity Shen Zhiheng (played by Gao Weiguang) and Mi Lan (played by Ouyang Nana), the daughter of a wealthy businessman who has been blind since childhood, who met on a fateful night.
Combined with the trailer, the series has at least three major highlights.
First, the fantasy setting.
More than a hundred years ago, there was a civil strife in the Shen family, and Wei Qiu (played by Meng Ziyi) killed everyone in the Shen family in order to protect his son.
Under his son's bitter pleading, Wei Qiu dripped potion on the wound on Shen Zhiheng's corpse to revive Shen Zhiheng.
And Shen Zhiheng got a strange disease after being resurrected, his movement speed and reaction speed were fast, and the wounds after being injured could heal quickly, no matter how many injuries he suffered, he would not die.
Even if he was beaten into a sieve with a gun, he could still recover after a short rest, but he could only live by sucking blood every day, and he became a monster that was neither human nor ghostly.
And the purpose of Shen Zhiheng's life is to find Wei Qiu's mother and son and unravel the truth about his strange illness.
In this process, fantasy fights are naturally indispensable, and various elements are mixed, how should the story develop? It's worth seeing.
Second, two-way salvation.
Born in troubled times, the male protagonist Shen Zhiheng has the world in mind and sticks to the bottom line, but he was hunted down and killed because of this, and lived a life of exile.
The heroine Mi Lan has a bright appearance, although she has been blind since she was a child, she enjoys the love of the whole family.
But in fact, the father has a group of wives and concubines, many children, and is ruthless to her, and the mother has no hope of competing for favor because she has given birth to a daughter, so she sprinkles all her anger on her, and abuses her every day.
Mi Lan, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally broke out on a snowy night, rebelled against her mother and escaped from the house, and walked alone on the street ready to die.
Under the coincidence of fate, Mi Lan, who had just prepared to end his life, met Shen Zhiheng, who was seriously injured, and at Shen Zhiheng's request, Mi Lan saved the other party, feeling needed for the first time, and temporarily let go of the idea of seeking death.
And Shen Zhiheng was also attracted by the girl in front of him, and the fate of the two was tied to each other and redeemed each other.
Looking at the story elements, it integrates the Republic of China, fantasy, and love, and the style is very similar to "Sito" and "Heartless Mage", and the elements of the big explosion are alive.
It is worth mentioning that the main creative team of the play is the original cast of "Sito".
Director Li Muge, in addition to "Sito", has also directed dark horse dramas such as "East Palace" and "Secret Love in Orange Sheng Huainan".
He has a good control over the series, and he has a lot of experience in the fantasy theme of the Republic of China, so he is the director, so he doesn't have to worry about the quality of the series.
Screenwriter Wang Hong, whose strength should not be underestimated, has received the affirmation of the original author of the adaptation of "Sito", and has also served as the screenwriter of dramas such as "You Fei" and "Scorching Romance", and his works are well received by the audience.
The two creators work together again, and the work created will only be better than "Sito".
The actors are highly adaptable, and the lineup is exciting
In addition to the story and the main creator, the performance of the actors also plays a key role in the success of the play.
The cast of "The Ballad of Ice and Snow" is not gorgeous compared with the dramas of the same period, but the actors and characters are very good, let's talk about them one by one.
The first place, Gao Weiguang.
Gao Weiguang's appearance is very recognizable, and his acting skills are not bad, and he has successfully created a series of characters with different styles.
Whether it is the affectionate Emperor Donghua in "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", or the wise and brave partridge whistle in "Angry Qing Xiangxi", Gao Weiguang has performed the soul of the character with precise and delicate performances.
In the new play, Gao Weiguang plays the male protagonist Shen Zhiheng, in the trailer, he wears a gorgeous costume and behaves elegantly and suavely, which is very suitable for the image of the male protagonist in the original book, as if he is a character who came out of the book.
Let him play this role, the director's casting is too right.
second place, Ouyang Nana.
I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet.
Ouyang Nana's acting skills in the audience's impression can be described as "poor".
In a variety show, her hideous expression of shouting "ants have been racing for ten years" has left a deep impression on the audience so far, but now her acting skills have improved a lot.
In the movie "Breaking the Wind", Ouyang Nana's role as Chen Yiqiao was highly praised, and she was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the International Film Festival for this role.
In "The Ballad of Ice and Snow", Ouyang Nana plays the blind girl Mi Lan, which tests her acting skills very much, and I look forward to her ability to use her strength to break the audience's doubts this time, which is eye-catching.
The third place, Mencius.
Although in many people's impressions, Meng Ziyi became popular with variety shows, but she was born in Nortel's professional class, and her acting skills have always been very stable.
Whether it is the kind-hearted warmth in "Chen Qing Ling", or the resolute young master of the rivers and lakes in "Who is the Hero", every role makes the audience unforgettable.
In the new play, Mencius challenges the role of a mother, and does not hesitate to confront the whole family in order to protect the child.
fourth place, Huang Mengying.
Huang Mengying is also a familiar face in the national drama.
She has wonderful performances in many works such as "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "Yinian Guan Mountain", although most of the roles she plays are supporting roles, her acting skills are remarkable, and she can easily handle any type of role.
I hope that this time in the new drama, Huang Mengying can leave another classic role.
In addition, there are also actors such as Dong Sicheng, Tang Jingmei, Ren Shihao and other actors in the play, the protagonist group is right, and the supporting role group is brilliant, this drama is good-looking.
Epilogue:
Can this drama explode? I guess the answer is optimistic.
Looking at the subject matter, the fantasy theme of the Republic of China in the past two years has fallen into a downturn as a whole, but audiences who love to watch this type of music have waited too long, and there are no competitors of the same type, "The Ballad of Ice and Snow" has a natural advantage.
Next, let's look at the performance of the series, whether it deserves to be called a dark horse.
When the traditional fantasy theme has entered a "dead end", "The Ballad of Ice and Snow" adds multiple elements such as suspense, fantasy, and love, which is attractive enough.
In addition, the main creative team of "Sito" has gathered again, and the quality of the drama is guaranteed, as long as the actors' acting skills are online, this drama will definitely explode.
Next, just wait for the feature film to start.
