Recently, a heavyweight urban fantasy web drama has made a grand debut.
This online novel, which once ranked first in Jinjiang's hot search list, has a huge fan base that is stunned.
The drama of the same name, based on the novel, quickly triggered a collective carnival of fans as soon as it was broadcast, and was praised by various Amways.
As an adapted domestic web drama, Douban score is not low.
The story takes place tens of thousands of years ago on an ancient planet --- starfish.
The landing of a giant meteorite destroys the ecosystem of starfish, resulting in a lack of resources for the entire planet.
Originally living in the depths of the earth, the Terrestrials could only flee to the ground, and in order to seize resources, they began to invade the starfish and sub-orcs living on the ground.
War finally broke out.
The Starfishers created four Hallows by absorbing meteorite energy, and eventually defeated the Earthlings.
Once again, the three parties reached a peace agreement to live separately.
The male protagonist of this drama is the two messengers of peace who have guarded the two worlds for generations.
Shen Wei (Zhu Yilong), a gentle and elegant professor at Longcheng University, ostensibly a professor of biology who studies genetic variation. In addition, there is an unknown hidden identity------ the black-robed messenger responsible for capturing the Earth Star people.
Another male protagonist, Zhao Yunlan (Bai Yu), the director of the Longcheng Special Investigation Department who specializes in investigating difficult cases, is a bohemian handsome young man.
Due to a mysterious death on campus, Zhao Yunlan came to Longcheng University with his assistant and met Shen Wei, who happened to pass by.
Shen Wei recognized Zhao Yunlan in front of the window sill who had not seen the "good brother" for 10,000 years.
Through the palm prints on the windowsill, Zhao Yunlan judged that it was the Earth Star people who committed the crime. And by questioning the first witness, Li Qian, it is suspected that the deceased is Li Qian's substitute ghost (the two are very similar in human form), and Li Qian is likely to be the culprit who released the Earth Star people.
That's exactly what the survey results are.
As a result, the pair of ten thousand brothers reunited by the earth star people once again opened the curtain to guard the peace between the two worlds.
In addition to constantly fighting monsters, the main line of this drama revolves around the brotherhood of the two protagonists who have been entangled for thousands of years.
Shen Wei's (Zhu Yilong) warm jade face, coupled with a pair of calm and deep eyes like an ancient well, makes people suddenly feel that the author has portrayed Shen Wei according to his appearance.
Seeing the brother who is looking for ten thousand years is in front of me, and I have mixed feelings.
My heart was like a deer, and I didn't dare to look at it directly.
Looking at Zhao Yunlan's business card alone, his eyes were already red as soon as he looked up.
Full marks for acting.
Although they recognize, they cannot recognize each other.
Thousands of years of searching and waiting, but in the end, they did not know each other, and could only silently guard.
This setting adds a layer of warmth and compassion to the plot.
Zhao Yunlan (Luo Yu) is an ordinary person who has forgotten the memories of his past life. At first sight of Shen Wei, of course, he didn't feel anything.
With the follow-up frequent contact, the feelings for Shen Wei heated up, and finally in order to pull him into the partnership, he also opened the mode of dedication without a lower limit, bought ancient books for Shen Wei, played hooligans, set almost, booed han and asked for warmth...
He looked very different from Shen Wei.
See? A major element of the remake, respect-weight-original-author!
A remake drama with such a solid mass base, taking care of the feelings of the fans, is half successful.
Although it has been adapted, as a double male drama without a female protagonist, the two male protagonists have just the right heat of friendship above love.
A hidden affection, a debauchery, let us old aunts who have not read the original work are full of joy.
Having said all that, do you think I'm just exaggerating about the show?
Not really---
If you leave aside the two male protagonists, the other aspects of this web drama that is not exquisite in texture are really too - weak - too!
However, the early plot has always given people a sense of haste to "hurry up and prepare for the next one", and the rhythm has changed from the sixth episode.
Secondly, Zhao Yunlan's group of partners in the Special Investigation Department.
The strongest sense of existence is the number one fan of the black-robed messenger, the puppet master Chu Shuzhi (Jiang Mingyang).
Without smiling, he was righteous, except for the black-robed messenger, who saw everyone in a serious way. Especially in the face of rookie assistants, every pore on his body is full of impatience.
Also, with a cute assistant who cries at every turn, it is impatient to change anyone.
There is also a non-verbal conjuration that transforms into the deputy director of the cat star.
Lin Jing, a national husband in the scientific and technological circles who is addicted to experiments all day long.
As well as the snake woman Zhu Hong, the clerk Wang Zheng, in addition to the appearance, all performed mediocrely, and there were no outstanding highlights. ps: Wang Zheng had a major play after 10 episodes, and the result was not only not brilliant, but also caused a lot of complaints due to facial paralysis.
As for the various soy sauce supporting roles, it is more like a roadside pull.
This touching performance of crying for two minutes without squeezing out a tear made me realize: Acting really needs talent!
There is also such a hot-eyed killing Matt style, which can only completely expose the earth-shattering secret that you are not the ultimate boss
Finally, from this five-cent special effect, the audience finally believed that the crew really did not have any money...
It can be said that this remake of the excellent and insufficient above passing can have such a high rating at present, and the two male protagonists are indispensable.
It is a pity that if the plot is more solid, the supporting characters are more heartfelt, and the costumes and props are more careful, this should be an excellent web drama.
