After so long backstage urging, it's time to say.
The trailer is stunning, and the expectations are full.
The broadcast turned over, and the "marketing girlishness" was used to repeatedly punch the face.
The name is known as the next mortal, how did it come to this.
"Shangyang Fu"
At first glance, "Shangyang Fu" has a dream team.
Can you put these actors together in a drama: Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Zhouwei, Yu Hewei, Yang Youning, Liu Duanduan, Zuo Xiaoqing, Shi Ke, Zhao Yazhi, Hui Yinghong, Yuan Hong...
Director Hou Yong, the cinematography of "My Father and Mother" and "No One Can Be Less", and "Jasmine Blossom" after turning to directing helped Zhang Ziyi take the Golden Rooster Film Queen.
Photography Philip Lessell, photography of A Generation of Grandmasters.
Art director Han Zhong, art design of "Ruyi Chuan".
The effect?
The naked eye can see the three big words "willing to spend money".
A national drama that has been prepared for many years, changed its name many times, and is well-produced and finally launched.
however.
From Douban 5.8, it has slowly risen to 6.2 now.
That is to say, such a big battle, the result is a stronger than the passing line...
Who is to blame?
Sir knows that the groove of "Shangyang Fu" is nine times out of ten, you have heard enough.
With the latest episodes airing.
Zhang Ziyi's character walked out of the girlhood, you just found out.
It turned out to be awkward, not only tender.
01
As soon as "Shangyang Fu" was broadcast, the most criticized thing was the age of the leading actors.
Zhang Ziyi is 38 years old and plays the 15-year-old Wang Yan (nicknamed Ah Fei).
Zuo Xiaoqing is 43 years old and plays a young girl who is not out of the cabinet.
Jia Yiping, 43, plays the eldest son of the Wang clan in his early 20s.
Yu Hewei plays Wang Lin, the lord of the Wang family, known as the middle-aged man in this drama, playing a middle-aged man, honestly the first person.
The lead actor Zhang Ziyi, of course, attracted the fiercest artillery fire.
I have to say that the face value is still online.
But a 15-year-old girl, how to act?
Zhang Ziyi's interpretation method ——
She tugged at her father's sleeve and began to pout.
He succeeded and spat out his tongue to his mother.
Where's the embarrassment?
It's not that Zhang Ziyi is too old, nor is it that she doesn't have acting skills.
It's deliberate performance.
Because deliberate, so greasy.
When she is constantly stressing to you with an expression - "Look, I am a girl, I am a girl." ”
Isn't it also like those male actors, using too many actions to emphasize their handsome, upper-class, sexy, the opposite effect?
You don't see characters.
Rather, it is a humanoid standing card of "maiden" or "overlord" painted with oil paint.
Some people say that "Shangyang Fu" is a power plot drama.
Survive the previous girly Mary Sue period, and you will be fine.
But Sir saw episode 15.
It doesn't feel that simple.
The performance is becoming more natural —
Separated from the mother.
I don't want to give up, and I don't want my mother to worry.
She acted very well and had a sense of layering.
The man gave her medicine.
Resisting and heartwarming looks, pure with femininity, there is nothing to be picky about.
If in the early stages, the audience's dissatisfaction was mainly concentrated on a group of adults who had to learn to live like children.
Well, wait until the plot really starts to exert force.
Can we get into the play?
The rebels besieged the city, and the heroine went to negotiate alone.
But from her expression, you can't see Tarzan collapsing in front of her and not changing his calmness.
There is only one, the performance lacks the hollowness of references.
Compared to girlishness.
This kind of arrogant and tough personality should not be suitable for Zhang Ziyi to play?
In Sir's opinion.
The weakness of "Shangyang Fu" is not to dress up, but to "engage in career" and engage in loneliness.
There is no plot support.
How Zhang Ziyi uses his acting skills to be hard and concave, after all, he is strong in the outside world.
02
How to describe the plot of "Shangyang Fu"?
Over-aged Mary Sue.
Young man's machinations.
Wang Yan, played by Zhang Ziyi, is the daughter of the Wang clan of Langya and is crowned as the lord of Shangyang County.
His family was prominent and his birth was noble.
Her mother was the eldest princess, her father was the head of the family, and her aunt was the empress of the dynasty.
She has been intelligent since childhood, and she has gathered thousands of pets in one.
At the age of 15, the Emperor held a ceremony for her in the palace.
As the daughter of the eldest princess, she has a noble status that the princess cannot expect.
Among the three princes, the prince and the three princes all loved her, and she was the perfect candidate for the princess since childhood.
At that time, the Wang clan of Langya helped the Ma clan to become king, and since then, in successive dynasties, it has become a tradition for the daughter of the Wang clan to become an empress.
But she loved Zi Tong, and the mother concubine came from another large family in the dprk, the Xie family.
Wang Xie's two families were in the same situation.
The male protagonist, Xiao Qi, is another rising force.
He was a general who guarded the frontier, started from scratch, and was made the king of the domain for his merits in killing the enemy.
Inside the court, Xiao Qi had no foundation, but because he held military power in his hands, he was jealous of the family.
Outside the court, after king Hulan was killed by Xiao Qi, his son secretly plotted, and the border pass was full of dangers.
"Shangyang Fu" lays a number of lines of power and conspiracy.
But as soon as these plots were combined with the Mary Sue, they reached the level of child's play.
It seems that who can become the prince does not depend on the choice of the emperor, nor on the struggle of the clan.
It's all up to the heroine's liking.
She did not like the current crown prince, and the emperor fulfilled her and Zi Tang.
The prince wanted to keep his seat.
The plan that came to mind was to cook mature rice with raw rice and occupy the heroine first, and as a result, the drug mistakenly raped Xie Wanru.
In short, the heroine is the supreme being in this world.
Whoever wins the heroine wins the world.
Look at the male protagonist Xiao Qi, as a new upstart who has just entered the capital, he knows that there is a pool of muddy water in the hall and does not want to set foot.
However, he agreed to the Alliance of the Wang Clan.
The reason is - for the sake of the heroine.
OK no problem.
The hero is sad to be beautiful.
Sir deliberately checked the original work, and the relationship between the two heated up from good feelings to affection, which began when Ah Fei was kidnapped by Helan Zhen, and was bundled with explosives.
Because she did not want to involve the male protagonist, she decided to die with Helan Zhen.
But the male protagonist still saved her.
And fell in love with such a fierce woman.
So how did this thrilling moment manifest itself?
Monday Wai: One, Two, Three, Wooden Man.
Zhang Ziyi: You continue to arrest, I see how long you can hold out.
It is said that this drama is sweet after that.
And abusive.
There are also couples working together to fight for the burning of the cause.
It seems like that's the case.
But the problem is, a Mary Sue who is so routine.
Even if it is sugar, it is just instant syrup.
Even if you really want to lay down an "imperial karma", it is just like "one person I drink and get drunk".
The top lineup of the national drama.
That's it?

Zhang Ziyi's performance does not need to question anything more.
But summing up her great performances, it usually takes "pua" — the director's strong will, high load, and even abusive makeover.
Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother".
Zhang Ziyi had no acting experience at that time, and was too nervous to cry when filming the crying scene. Director Zhang Yimou "frightened" her, saying that the crew only left herself on the mountain after the end of the work.
She was afraid and aggrieved, which became a classic crying scene.
Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Zhang Ziyi: At the beginning, the director didn't tell me what to act, but just let me practice. Practicing there every day, seeing different girls walking past me every day, this kind of psychological pressure, I still feel fear when I think about it now.
Wong Kar-wai's "A Generation of Grandmasters".
In order to shoot this play, she practiced for 4 years, during which various old injuries on her body recurred. After filming this scene, she decided not to make kung fu films again.
Because this film has reached the extreme of kung fu.
Zhang Ziyi's performance needs a weighty ruler.
Go and suppress her.
Also give her the power to bounce back.
But what about "Shangyang Fu"?
At the beginning of the launch, Zhang Ziyi sent a shout on Weibo that "the film side should not market my girlish feeling".
The result attracted more ridicule from netizens.
Aren't you yourself a "piece party"?
So who is this to say?
Other actors.
Fans may also be able to ask "if you are kidnapped you will blink".
And "Shangyang Fu" is the bureau of Zhang Ziyi's resources and connections for more than ten years.
In this drama where she fully grasps the right to speak, it is her willing story, or her long-term wish.
For a long time.
The audience called her the "International Chapter."
Making a TV series is also called "Lower Fan".
She is recognized as a "stubborn face".
We rarely saw her girlish and feminine.
But is this the real way Zhang Ziyi looks?
An interview about the performance of "No Questions Asked".
Her face was filled with real envy.
"Youth is supposed to be like this, like a willow leaf blowing in the spring breeze, but I haven't. I felt like my youth was being delayed, and I hadn't had such a romantic time. ”
She mentioned more than once that although she became famous early, one of the regrets in her youth was that she did not live a dull and pampered life.
On the Chinese opera, but also professional difficulties.
Puberty is spent in practice.
During the six years of learning to dance, she was the tail of the crane in the class, and she had to work harder than others to catch up with the average.
Lucky enough to work with big directors one after another.
She was also trembling, always tightening a string.
What if, in the absence of external forces, let Zhang Ziyi be herself again?
So most likely, she tends to be relaxed, gentle, bird-like.
"Shangyang Fu" is not the first time Zhang Ziyi has tried to go his own way.
First time as a producer.
She chose a chick movie, "Perfect."
Played a flower idiot.
The audience did not understand why Zhang Ziyi played such a cheap role, or it was still not suitable for their own comedy.
But she was happy from start to finish.
"A lot of the bridge is actually in my life, so just throw it on Sophie."
...... I'll just be myself. ”
Like we think now, the Mary Sue is not in the grade.
But maybe.
It was a dream that Zhang Ziyi had not been satisfied with.
But what she didn't understand was.
This dream was filmed.
For Zhang Ziyi, who is full of curiosity, it may be important.
But for the audience that has been immersed in it for a long time, it is not important.
Just when the reputation of "Shangyang Fu" was cold, many people moved out Zhang Yimou's sentence:
"Zhang Ziyi, don't act in TV dramas."
This paragraph is not Zhang Yimou's original words, but after Zhang Ziyi filmed "My Father and Mother" that year, he did receive an invitation to the 2000 version of "Smiling Proud of the River", and the film remuneration was extremely high.
But at Zhang Yimou's suggestion, he refused.
Does acting in a TV series necessarily self-deprecating?
Not to mention that there is no distinction between movie cafes and TV drama cafes.
Even Zhang Yimou himself is ready to start filming a new drama.
The problem is not "lower mortals".
Nor is it about "bringing capital into the group" or "becoming capital".
Why is it that when you want to show your skills, the path is so narrow and the standard is so single?
High-scoring drama "Big Little Lies".
After Reese Witherspoon recommended it to Nicole Kidman, Nicole read it overnight and immediately flew to Australia to contact the author to obtain the copyright.
Starring in the double film, the two companies co-produced, telling the story of women in this era.
Liu Yuling herself is a producer and director.
Produced the blockbuster "Deadly Woman".
And Cohen's sister-in-law, who just won the Oscar in 2018, found Zhao Ting as a director for "No Man's Land", played the heroine herself, and became an Oscar hit.
These actors, all of them, after accumulating energy.
Start taking the initiative yourself and pick a script that you approve of.
And.
All are "big heroines".
Their big is to dare to break the rules and become a woman who faces fate alone and is also extremely strong.
And the big heroine we can think of.
There is only Mary Sue, love brain, set thousands of pampered in one open hanging person.
Sir didn't want to spray the "Shangyang Fu" dress.
Because it's even more pathetic.
It's that kind of old-fashioned mentality, and mental naivety.
Already constitutes the most common majority as we look around.
