Judging from the heat of the topic, in the small climax of a wave of TV dramas that unexpectedly appeared at the end of 2020, the martial arts drama "You Fei" starring Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo should have a place. However, it seems that since its inception, the "torn" evaluation has been like it - behind Douban's rating of only 5.9, the proportion of people who hit 5 stars and give 1 star is almost the same. And today (December 27), because of the statements of two well-known scholars, it has once again become the focus of everyone's attention, and the hot discussion about it has further "torn".
The popularity of Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo did not support the public expectations shouldered by "You Fei"
After 11:00 a.m. on December 27, Kong Qingdong and Zhang Yiwu, two well-known professors of the Department of Chinese of Peking University, posted on Weibo one after another, specifically talking about their views on "Youfei". There are different points of view and interpretation, but they all use the hashtag #Youfei is the return of chivalrous culture.
Kong Qingdong said bluntly in Weibo, "The appearance of the TV series "Youfei" is like a return of chivalrous spirit! As everyone can see, the story of "You Fei" is "With Zhou Fei's growth through hardships as the vein, the grass snake gray line lays a xinyi jianghu that abandons evil and promotes good." In the face of the test of fate, Zhou Fei finally married the male protagonist Qin Ser and Ming, and became a generation of heroines. In Kong Qingdong's view, "the martial artists in the play are no longer egoists who conspire with power, but have a collective dedication spirit that transcends life and death, and can also be crushed to pieces for the love of the children of the jianghu!" The adherence to justice, the maintenance of the love of teachers and friends, and the dedication to individual dignity jointly condense the lofty values of this martial artist. Kong Qingdong said, "Now in the audience's enthusiastic pursuit of "You Fei" phenomenon, it once again proves that the audience is eager for the return of chivalry, and the spirit of chivalry is like an immortal heroic soul in Chinese culture! ”
Zhang Yiwu used "The Character of Inheritance" as the title of his long article praising "You fei". He said: "Jumping out of the mantle of master and apprentice, and not trapped in the blood lineage of the torch, is the most popular place for the martial arts inheritance... In "You Fei", the protagonist is replaced by the young girl Zhou Fei and the 'double sword and one sword withered hand'. ”
"Zhou Fei's 'martial arts' are pure: the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, full of vigor, dare to face the strong and swing their swords upwards, and dare to make bold words' that 'in another ten years, I will step on this mountain'." Zhang Yiwu said that the predecessors in the play, such as Yu Lao, Duan Jiuniang, Ji Yunshen, and Lady Nie Pei, passed on to Zhou Fei not only the martial arts secrets, but also the chivalrous spirit. "In the name of chivalry, the young men helped the weak and the united in knowledge and deeds; and in the name of inheritance, everyone became a hero of that era."
After the Weibo of the two well-known scholars was issued, the number of likes soon exceeded the 10,000 mark, and Kong Qingdong even received more than 26,000 likes. But that doesn't mean that the debate about "Youfei" has stopped. Fans and supporters are naturally happy to see two well-known scholars calling, but on the other hand, the audience who is more demanding of the quality of the show bluntly says that "what they say and what we care about are not the same thing."
First of all, in the eyes of many netizens, what the two professors said has little to do with the "You fei" drama itself, and the TV series that is being broadcast only plays an entry point that arouses the attention and discussion. "The chivalrous spirit they speak of, the original novel has already presented itself very enough. It can even be said that their comments can be used directly on the original novel, and have nothing to do with the play. ”
On the other hand, the TV series "You fei", which is now poorly reviewed on Douban, has been criticized more focused on the filming of the drama itself. For example, Zhao Liying and Wang Yibo, the two leading actors, naturally have no popularity and traffic to say, but "no sense of CP" has been a topic that has existed since the beginning of the drama.
In recent years, the problem of "keying" that has been common in costume dramas has also attracted a lot of disappointed voices in "You Fei". The distortion of details and proportions makes many fans of the original feel quite sorry. For example, the scene where Zhao Liying sent her father away from forty-eight villages and shed tears on the spot made many viewers feel seriously distorted, "One look is the background special effects done in the later stage." "Not to mention the play, countless viewers have found that as long as the scene is encountered in "You Fei", it will immediately cut to the close-up and close-up. Even so, there are still viewers who complain that "when you look at the play, there is no feeling of being close at all."
In summary, what the audience values does seem to be completely different from the focus of the two scholars on the "channel", and it can even be said that the interpretation and praise of the two Peking University scholars have nothing to do with the TV series "You fei".
