"Notes on Tomb Robbery" written by the third uncle of the Southern Sect and "Ghost Blowing Lights" written by Tianxia Baxiang are the two hottest tomb robbery novels in China today, and they are also the two major IPs that Chinese film and television dramas are scrambling to adapt.
In the film and television drama adapted from "Ghost Blowing Lights", the audience recognizes the excellent works as "Jingjie Ancient City" starring Jin Dong, and "Nuqing Xiangxi" and "Longling Labyrinth" starring Pan Yueming. Today's Chinese audiences are waiting for the sequel "Yunnan Bug Valley" starring Pan Yueming, but there has been some bad news about the show recently.
In the film and television drama adapted from "Notes from the Tomb Robber", the excellent work recognized by the audience is "The Ultimate Note" starring Zeng Shunxi and others.
The story told in "The Ultimate Note" takes place after the chapter of "Genting Heavenly Palace" in the original work, telling a series of stories after the Genting Heavenly Palace incident, Wu Xie learned from the third uncle about the hidden affair of the Xisha Seabed, and after receiving two video tapes from Zhang Qiling after learning about the hidden affairs of the Xisha Seabed from the Third Uncle, as well as the feud between the Warring States Book and the Old Nine Doors.
"The Ultimate Note" starring Zeng Shunxi and others does not belong to the same series as the first "Tomb Robber's Note" starring Li Yifeng and "Nu Hai Qiansha & Qinling Sacred Tree" starring Hou Minghao and others. It is independent and loved by the audience, and they all hope to launch the second season as soon as possible.
"Notes from the Tomb Robber" starring Li Yifeng and "Nu Hai Qiansha & Qinling Sacred Tree" starring Hou Minghao belong to the same series, the plot is connected, but the actors who shape the role are different.
Among them, "Nu Hai Qiansha" was broadcast in June 2019, Hou Minghao played the male number one Wu Xie in the play, Cheng Yi, Zhang Boyu and Li Man, three actors, playing xiao brother, Wang Fatzi and Aning respectively, the overall is not bad, but some places have adapted the original work too much.
Hou Minghao's "Nu Hai Diving Sand" is interspersed with three stories from the original "Tomb Robber's Notes", namely "Nu Hai Diving Sand", "Qinling Sacred Tree" and "Genting Heavenly Palace".
The story of the "Genting Heavenly Palace" chapter only appears in the extravaganza of "Nu Hai Qiansha", so the drama side will also make a separate drama for this purpose.
In fact, as early as 2016, "Genting Heavenly Palace" has been included in the key web drama projects in Penguin Pictures' future plans. It was five years before the show had a solid message.
On July 8 this year, the web drama "Genting Tiangong" released a final trailer, announcing that the drama will be officially broadcast on the online platform on July 11. While the show released the final trailer, it also announced the main cast, in which wu xie and the little brother in the "Iron Triangle" were replaced.
In the previous work "Nu Hai Qiansha", Wu Xie and Xiao Brother in the "Iron Triangle" were played by Hou Minghao and Cheng Yi, respectively, in the sequel "Genting Heavenly Palace", the actors of these two roles were replaced by Bai Shu and Zhao Dongze, and Wang Fatzi was still played by Zhang Boyu.
Bai Shu and Zhao Dongze have not starred in film and television dramas with the theme of tomb robbery before, and their fame is not very large, and their acting skills are not very good. The two of them portray two extremely important characters in the minds of the audience are also quite worrying.
In the sequel "Genting Heavenly Palace", several characters were played by actors who had appeared before, Yao Qiu continued to play the third uncle, Liu Xueyi continued to play Xie Yuchen, Si Qinggaowa continued to play Huo Xiangu, and Huang Yi continued to play Huo Xiuxiu.
The cast is on the one hand of the audience in "Genting Heavenly Palace", and on the other hand, the production of special effects.
Through the trailer released by the web series, it is felt that the special effects production of this drama has not met the requirements of the audience's mind, and the image of the monster production is also detached from the Sense of China.
The most important thing is that before "Genting Heavenly Palace", "Ultimate Notes" starring Zeng Shunxi and other stars has already met with the audience and has been widely acclaimed.
"Ultimate Notes" belongs to the sequel to "Genting Heavenly Palace" and has won good word-of-mouth. Therefore, the audience's requirements for tomb robbery works will also increase, and many viewers have said that they are no longer interested in the story of "Genting Heavenly Palace", but they are more curious about the quality of this drama.
The film and television drama works adapted from "Notes from the Tomb Robber" are relatively chaotic and are never filmed in order. Previously, in addition to "Ultimate Notes", there were also "Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder", "Sand Sea", "Yellow Skin Tomb", etc., which failed to form a system for each other.
The connection of the plot is disrupted, and it is easy for the audience to lose interest. Although "Genting Heavenly Palace" is the most favorite chapter of "Notes on the Tomb Robber", this sequel that has made the audience wait for two years still feels like it will flutter, and it may not be satisfactory to the audience.
