Hey, all the friends who are chasing dramas, let's talk about Xianxia dramas today.
I still remember when I was chasing "Long Moon Embers" a while ago, it was called a top! Although Youku's update speed is so slow that people want to smash the TV, it has dragged on for more than a month, but the plot can't stand up to the attractiveness.
But who would have thought that as soon as "Long Moon Embers" ended, the successor "Heart Protection" gave me a slap in the face. Wait, wait, finally wait for the broadcast. I clicked on the first episode with enthusiasm and thought, "Wow, this is a pretty exciting beginning!" "But who knows, when I saw the fifth episode, I couldn't help but want to drop my phone.
Let's take the actor as an example, Bailu in "Long Moon Embers", his acting skills have really improved. Look at Luo Yunxi again, this young man is getting more and more flavorful.
Although there is still a gap compared with the male protagonists of some classic Xianxia dramas, at least people's acting skills are online.
can take a look at "Protecting the Heart", although Zhou Ye has made significant progress compared to the period of "Youth in War", he is still a little worse than Bailu.
As for the male protagonist Hou Minghao, hey, this acting skill really opened my eyes. Let's talk about this "cold male god" later.
To be honest, after watching these two dramas, I really can't figure it out.
Alas, it's still quite embarrassing to think about. originally thought that "Protecting the Heart" could catch up with the popularity of "Long Moon Embers", but I didn't expect it to be so cool. No, my heart is about to break as an old fan of dramas.
Speaking of "Protecting the Heart", we have to talk about the role of Su Ying.
The character of Su Ying set up a "crazy villain" for us as soon as he came up. Ruthless, independent and powerful, that aura is simply the female version of the big devil! I'm so excited that I finally have a female character who isn't a vase.
But who would have thought, within a few episodes, Su Ying's character design began to collapse.
Speaking of which, I can't help but think of the heroine in "Embers of the Long Moon".
To be honest, I was a little disappointed to see this. originally thought that "Protecting the Heart" could bring us a female character with depth, but what happened? Another character who is crazy about love.
But then again, although Su Ying's character has collapsed, I have to say that Yang Rong's acting skills are still quite online. If it weren't for her outstanding performance in the promotional video, the popularity of "Protecting the Heart" probably wouldn't even be as it is now.
Alas, it's a shame to think about it. was originally a character that could dazzle the audience, but it was scrapped by the screenwriter. Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, is such a character setting the screenwriter's pot or the problem of the entire creative team? Anyway, I think the charm of this shadow is really getting more and more confusing.
4. Time travel between special effects and plot: from fairy sword to unfinished (520 words)
Okay, let's talk about the special effect. The special effects of "Protecting the Heart", how to say it, I can see that I have directly traveled back to the era of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The plot of the black and dragon slaying in the opening chapter, to be honest, is indeed the pinnacle of the whole play. But the problem is, you put the best at the beginning, what about the end? It's like setting off fireworks, with a "bang" at the beginning, and only smoke is left behind.
Let's take a look at "Long Moon Embers", although the plot has been complained about decently, but people have really invested heavily in special effects and costumes. You look at other people's special effects, and then look at "Heart Protection", the gap is too obvious, right? It's like a freshly baked iPhone, and a Nokia is still in use, and the age difference is too great.
Speaking of the plot, although "Long Moon Embers" is also full of slots, what "famous and decent people are all villains who mess with their hearts", "The male protagonist of the demon god sacrifices himself to save the world", does it sound particularly familiar? But at least they still have a complete storyline.
Although after watching the finale, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped in my heart, but there is a beginning and an end.
On the other hand, in "Protecting the Heart", apart from the appearance of the male and female protagonists, I really can't think of anything else to watch. The plot develops as if there is no script and improvisation on the spot.
To be honest, I was really a little chilled when I saw this.
Alas, it's still quite embarrassing to think about. I remember watching Xianxia dramas before, and it was more exciting than one episode. It's good now, the more I watch it, the more I feel like I'm watching a fast-forward version of "Huanzhu Gege", but Gege is replaced by a fairy.
Alas, speaking of this, I can't help but sigh: The current Xianxia drama is really not easy!
Recalling that when "Long Moon Embers" was broadcast, it caused quite a stir.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Rong's Su Ying was so attractive in the promotional video, it would be strange that the popularity of "Protecting the Heart" would have been up.
You see, in the drama "Protecting the Heart", the actors' appearance is online, but the acting skills... Let's not talk about it. What about the script? It feels like it's just a patchwork. The special effects are even more miserable, at the same level as the drama more than ten years ago.
I wondered, does the current creative team think that as long as they find a few traffic stars and add some fairy special effects, they can fool the past? However, the audience's eyes are bright! You fool the audience, but the audience won't buy it.
Let's talk about "Long Moon Embers", although the plot is also full of slots, at least people have worked the production.
So, I still have hope for the future of Xianxia dramas. I hope that the creators can listen to the voices of the audience and shoot more works like "Long Moon Embers", although it is not perfect, but at least full of sincerity.
