Starring Han Dongjun and Chen Yao, "Heartless Mage 3", the Douban score fell from 7.2 at the beginning of the broadcast to the current 7.0 points.
The weak plot has become the biggest problem of the play, and some netizens said "Tang people ask a better screenwriter."
"Heartless Mage 3" is about the "prequel to Yue Qiluo", and the characters use the setting of the second part of the original novel, "Heartless and ma family brothers and sisters".
Although in the eyes of many fans, the second part is not as wonderful as the first because of the unpopular design, the original work has both the intrigue between the Ma family and the brothers and sisters in the family, as well as the grudge and resentment with Bai Liuli, as well as the love affair with the sister Ma Saiwei. Jumping out of the house fight and the private love of the children, this story also has a national vendetta, and the plot of unintentionally joining forces with Bai Liuli to deal with the Japanese military in the bunker sublimates the pattern of this story.
In the drama version, the screenwriter used the "house fight" paragraph, but it reduced the strength of the original story, and used other stories to make up the length, although there is "immortality" as the main line, the overall is still scattered and scattered.
The screenwriter put too many elements in the play, but none of them dug through. Of the several stories that have been told, none of them have been told well.
In addition to dissatisfaction with the plot, Chen Yao, who plays two roles in the film, also triggered bipolar comments.
After playing the little ding cat of the boy's body and daughter's heart in "Heartless Mage 2", she played the Liu family brother and sister alone this time.
Unlike the little Ding cat with two souls, Liu Xuanhu is a real, fake man.
In the play, the Liu family brothers and sisters take advantage of their appearance to take turns to participate in the literary arena. When his frail younger brother Liu Xuanhu was in poor health, he was replaced by his sister Liu Qingluan.
When WuXin investigated the "trial murder case", he took the literary ring as the starting point, and thus got acquainted with "Liu Xuanhu", and in the process of getting along, he detected the doubts in the other party, and finally found that they were a pair of twin brothers and sisters.
Chen Yao plays the beautiful and lively Liu Qingluan, and when playing Liu Xuanhu, he needs to cross the identity boundary. But even with the support of dubbing, the plot set up Liu Xuanhu's clothes are wide open, and in the bridge section of drinking flower wine in the Qinglou, she herself is also trying her best to show the masculinity and freedom of men, but every time the camera is on her Lolita face, it still makes "he is a man" become so untrustworthy.
Chen Yao, who is more than 170 tall, has always given people the illusion that his height is only more than one meter and five meters because of his "Lolita face". Moreover, even if Chen Yao's acting skills are outstanding among young actresses, they have not yet reached the point of borrowing performances to completely reverse and change the audience's impression of her gender.
The sense of discord still exists when she incarnates as a "man".
Therefore, some netizens said, "Tang Ren, listen to my advice, don't let Chen Yao play a man." ”
In 2014, Chen Yao made her debut by participating in the micro-film "Sad Cooking".
As a newcomer, she had good luck, and in December of that year, she met "Heartless Mage", because it met the two points of "Lolita face and inner vicissitudes", she was selected by producer Cai Yinong and became Yue Qiluo in the play, and became a hit and was well known by the audience.
In 2016, she also won the "Golden Bone Duo Award" For Best Supporting Actress in a Network Drama for "Yue Qiluo".
After that, Chen Yao successively starred in dramas such as "The Legend of Qingqiu Fox" and "To Youth", and the character settings were mostly straightforward and enthusiastic, lively and playful.
2017 is the most "divided" year for Chen Yao in the play, because in "Fantasy Journey to the West", she is sometimes cold, sometimes domineering, and sometimes naughty; in "Heartless Mage 2", she has become a small ding cat with "different body and mind".
For her little Ding cat, the media evaluation is still good, praising her for her girlish appearance and performing a "fierce and domineering nobleman". But unfortunately, "Heartless Mage 2" deviates from the original work too much in the plot, which can basically be called a magic change, not only deviating from the style of the first part, but also because the re-creation of the plot is not brilliant, it has not been able to continue the reputation and popularity of the previous work.
Most of the motivation for the audience to watch "Heartless Mage 2" comes from Chen Yao's little Ding Cat and MIKE's white glass.
As the "Yue Qiluo" in the audience's heart, Chen Yao's "Heartless Mage 3" starring in Yue Qiluo's history is logical and beyond reproach, but since it has departed from the original, why borrow the setting of the twin siblings? You know, Chen Yao's Yue Qiluo was recognized and affirmed, and it never had anything to do with the male setting.
What the audience is watching is that she is topped with an innocent Lolita face, doing paranoid and vicious things, and the strong contrast between inside and outside has formed the unique charm of this character.
No matter how good an actor is, he is also limited by the drama path.
Therefore, please don't "waste" Chen Yao anymore, she has the ability to try and control other types of roles, but not by playing men to show strength.
