On May 15, the TV series "Embroidered Spring Knife • Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" determined the male and female protagonists, namely Zhang Yunlong and Sun Yi. Earlier, the TV series entered iQiyi's drama list and was confirmed to be about to start filming. In iQiyi's episode list information, the TV series type of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was determined as: martial arts espionage.
The two "Embroidered Spring Knife" films are both written and directed by Lu Yang. The TV series version this time is written and directed by Li Yi, and Lu Yang is the supervising producer. At present, the information that can be verified is obviously that Lu Yang is also planning the theatrical release of the movie "Embroidery Spring Knife 3". If there are no accidents, the movie version of "Embroidered Spring Knife 3" will also enter the production state.
Director Lu Yang opened up a new situation in cinema films with two "Embroidered Spring Knives" for the Theme of Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty. The Douban score of the two "Embroidery Spring Knives" is above 7 points, and the results are already good. In terms of the cinema box office, "Embroidered Spring Knife" won a box office of 93.195 million yuan in the first part, and the second part won a box office performance of 265 million yuan. Only from the box office figures, the two "Embroidered Spring Knives" are not blockbusters. However, under the specific theater background of 2014 and 2017, such achievements are already more dazzling among niche themes.
It is worth noting that before "Embroidered Spring Knife", the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei-themed movies basically belonged to the niche and lacked real box office hits. After "Embroidered Spring Knife", in the cinema film market, although there are also a number of Films with the theme of Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, many of which are starring martial arts stars such as Zhen Zidan and Wang Baoqiang, the reputation of fans and the performance of the cinema box office are more general.
In terms of online movies, the theme of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty once became a popular content sought after by everyone. However, the final network box office account, the total failure, there is no explosive work. Therefore, this Jinyiwei theme eventually broke into the sand and became a taboo minefield in the content of online movies, and a large number of online film practitioners no longer entered the creation of this theme.
In terms of network dramas and TV drama works, there are also many Jinyiwei themes, especially in network dramas, and the output is not small. However, the quality of this batch of plays is average, the reputation is mediocre, and the amount of network playback is also very bad. Of course, the example is not convenient to cite, mention who, who is unhappy. Judging from the current audience reputation, box office results and network popularity, the jinyiwei theme is actually a subject that is not flattered.
Therefore, for the TV series version of "Embroidered Spring Knife", the industry still belongs to the state of pinching a sweat. It is worth noting that in Lu Yang's film version, great attention is paid to the presentation of martial arts effects. Therefore, in the selection of male protagonists, the martial arts star Zhang Zhen has always been used. The actor has also shot a number of martial arts action films, and has become an important martial arts star, which has been affirmed by fans. Obviously, for the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife", the martial arts are completed, the film is completed, and the male protagonist is very important.
In contrast, in the TV series version of "Embroidered Spring Knife", the male protagonist is determined to be Zhang Yunlong, and the gap between the film version and the movie version is still more obvious. In terms of Zhang Yunlong, although he has a lot of traffic, in terms of martial arts strength, he is still a rising star, and there is no work that can prove himself for the time being. Of course, this situation is a double-edged sword. The bad side is that the male protagonist's martial arts presentation level is questioned by the audience. On the bright side, Zhang Yunlong is likely to shoot very much and complete this TV series work as a martial arts work that can prove himself.
The heroine of the TV series version of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is determined to be Sun Yi. In terms of appearance, Sun Yi can indeed reassure the audience. However, in terms of the inherent popularity of traffic fans, the TV series version is obviously not comparable to the movie version. Two film versions of "Embroidered Spring Knife", one is Liu Shishi and the other is Yang Mi, both of which have been well-deserved first-line traffic female artists. This time, Sun Yi is actually facing the challenge of first-line traffic female artists. Fortunately, Sun Yi's acting skills are reassuring, no matter the popularity of the acting skills at the moment, the heroine of the TV series does not seem to suffer losses.
The TV series version is currently positioned for martial arts and espionage. This is a very interesting positioning. Wuxia means that the TV series version has to shoot a lot of martial arts content. For fans, how the TV series version can adhere to the realistic style in the movie version seems to be able to become a clear stream in the martial arts drama. At present, many martial arts dramas are fantasy-style fights, and there is nothing new to say. On the contrary, it is an old-school fight like "Wudang A Sword" that has won the recognition of drama fans. Lu Yang supervised the production of the TV drama version of "Embroidered Spring Knife", which should be able to convey the temperament of the movie version.
In terms of espionage, it also makes the audience look forward to it. Movie versions, due to time limits, many contents can not be effectively expanded. Especially in "Embroidery Spring Knife 2", the story is a mess, and it is close to a bad film. In the TV series version, positioning espionage means that there may be a lot of brain-burning content. If the story passes, it can also be recognized by the audience. On the whole, the theme of Jinyiwei does not bring heat, and can only rely on the strength of the work itself. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
