poster, An Yixuan , Peng Yuyan and others are also particularly conspicuous, and at that time, apart from Liu Yifei's slight fame with "Golden Fan Family" and "Tianlong Babu", other major The actors are almost all newcomers.
It is said that Hu Ge had not graduated yet, so he had no background and was not popular. In fact,
was the same as it is now. If you choose a celebrity with traffic to play the leading role, the success rate of the whole drama will be much improved.
However, the Tang people did not surrender to capital. They insisted that what is suitable is the best. The actors in the play dedicated their best acting skills and the best youth, which made the most classic Xianxia drama. In
's previous Xianxia dramas, each character was particularly plump. The theme was family and country feelings, the righteousness of saving the common people, and then love. Therefore, the posters will focus on each character.
and now what? The most eye-catching on the
posters are the male and female protagonists, and the main theme is also love. Before
, Xianxia drama was a story of a group of people.
Now, Xianxia drama is a love story between two people.
Of course, the producers must take into account the so-called "coffee position" in the fans' mouths, because they are very concerned about the proportion of their idols on the posters.
As for when the Xianxia drama will become more and more deviated, it should start from " Hua Qiangu ", because the show has figured out the wealth code of "Xianxia + big heroine", which directly makes Zhao Liying a god in the first battle , among the ranks of 85 flowers.
In fact, when Shaqianmo shouted "If you hurt her for the world, I will kill all the people in the world", the audience knew that the show had fallen behind in terms of layout.
's remarks are in sharp contrast to Zhao Linger's sacrifice for the people of Nanzhao.
"I will kill all the people in the world", the people in the world invite you to provoke you?
why did they die for your love? Before
, Xianxia dramas sacrificed the ego for the common people.
Now, Xianxia dramas are for the ego to destroy the common people.
Of course, you can't deny the whole drama from one line. To a certain extent, "Flower Thousand Bone" is very successful. After all, the ratings are quite good.
However, success is also " Qiangu " and defeat is also "Thousand Bone". After
"Flower Thousand Bone", Xianxia dramas have gone farther and farther on the road of routine, from the aspects of character design, emotional sadomasochism of N generation and N generation, and immortal world view background, all showing a high degree of Coincidence, no new tricks have been turned out to this day.
In fact, routines are only one of the reasons why Xianxia dramas are "difficult to swallow", and the actors' acting skills and the adaptation of the original work are also important reasons, such as the following.
1. " Eternal Juechen "
Before "Eternal Juechen" was broadcast, the audience could be said to be looking forward to it. After all, "Three Golden Shadows" Zhou Dongyu 's acting skills smashed a lot of small flowers, but who ever wanted to broadcast After it came out, the spit continued.
The other heroines of Xianxia dramas fly around beautifully, but when it comes to Zhou Dongyu, it reveals incongruity from the inside to the outside.
This take-off action is really like a kindergartener's "eagle catching a chicken", or more like a child running with a schoolbag on his back after school.
It stands to reason that Zhou Dongyu, the "Three Golden Queens", and the "flow king" Xu Kai can make the show even better, but the result almost overturned.
Zhou Dongyu's performance in the play was completely "dropped", and the male protagonist Xu Kai's performance was also facial paralysis throughout.
Although Xu Kai has a good appearance and fits his costume image quite well, but I don't know if it's because of the style in the play or the shooting angle, he looks a little fat, so he was dubbed the "fat head fish". Ah, no fairy spirit at all.
One of the grooves of the show isZhou Dongyu's appearance is far away from that of many female peers. The proportions of his thin body cannot support the look of ancient costumes, and he even walks with a hunched back and slumped shoulders. How can such an image look like the head of the "Four True Gods".
, especially after the "Yao girl" Zhang Jiani played the spirit beast "Five Pin Caifeng", Zhou Dongyu's appearance was instantly pressed to the ground and rubbed...
As for the plot of the play, it is very similar to " Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms " Similar, the difference is a lifetime of sadomasochism, and there are also many similarities in terms of obedience and scenes, and even the dubbing and actors are copied, such as Lai Yi who plays "Gu Jun", once in "Three Lives" "Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" plays the eldest disciple of Mo Yuan and , Bai Qian's senior brother "Die Feng".
The immortals in "Eternal Juechen" are in love every day, and they don't want to benefit the world at all. They are already tens of thousands of years old, and they still can't get out of the bitter sea of love. Although the current audience of
has accepted the way the Xianxia drama focuses on love, they cannot accept the shoddy production in post-production.
For example, in the play, a piece of Tianqi, the true god played by Liu Xueyi and , suddenly disappeared from his head.
In fact, it's no surprise that Xianxia dramas have been deducted for a long time, but they rarely appear as foolish as "Eternal Juechen".
In fact, Zhou Dongyu's acting skills are impeccable, but one actor cannot control all roles, especially actresses.
Zhou Dongyu is not suitable or good at fairy dramas. She is an actress with innate appearance, tone, voice, and body condition full of life. The director asked Zhou Dongyu to play the role of a fairy who does not eat human fireworks. It is indeed a brain hole wide open.
2. "Zhu Xian·Qingyunzhi"
In 2007, when I read Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian" for the first time, I was instantly attracted. It turns out that fantasy novels can be written like this.
so much so that I heard that it would be adapted into a TV series, and I have been following "Qingyunzhi". Even in 2016, when I heard that it was filming in Laojun Mountain, Henan, I traveled hundreds of kilometers to the scene.
However, after the much-anticipated "Qing Yun Zhi" aired, it was a big disappointment!
Although there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, it definitely does not include "Qingyunzhi".
First of all, fans of "Zhu Xian" do not object to the adaptation, because it is unrealistic and impossible to completely transfer the world of Xianxia described in the novel to the screen, so it needs a slight change, as long as the magnitude is not too big, fans are acceptable.
However, after the broadcast of "Qing Yun Zhi", it was very different from the original work. In order to highlight the love between Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio , they spared no effort to "step on the low and hold the high".
For example, Xue Qi was hacked to the point of being useless and almost got the infamy of "Little Three", and she also portrayed the hypocrisy and treacherousness of the people in the righteous way, and the people of the demonic way as happy grievances...
must know that in the original work, although there are a few evils in the righteous way A person, but on the whole, he is righteous, protects the common people, and slays demons and demons. Although there are a few kind people in the
Demon Sect, they harm the common people, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and are heinous.
fans and viewers want to see "the world is not benevolent and everything is a dog", they want to see Zhang Xiaofan's tenacity and keep his heart, they want to see Baguio's persistence, and they want to see the indescribable twist between Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan. Love, I want to see everyone's resistance to fate.
results, all failed to show.
"Qingyunzhi" has been on the air for 6 years. Although the reputation and ratings are very poor, almost all the main actors in the play have become top-notch.
Zhang Xiaofan is played by Li Yifeng
Before the accident, Li Yifeng was definitely a top star. If he can do his job well, he will be able to compete with international superstars in the future. Unfortunately, there is no chance. Once some mistakes are made, they will never be seen again. There is no chance of a comeback.
is obviously handsome and rich, and is obviously excellent in every aspect, so he can find a girlfriend with integrity, but Li Yifeng chose this method to ruin his bright future.
Baguio's actor Zhao Liying
"Qingyun Zhi" was broadcast, Zhao Liying was in the limelight with the popularity of "Flower Thousand Bone", after all, the network broadcast volume of the show exceeded 400 million clicks in a single day, setting a new single-day broadcast volume record , and the total number of broadcasts exceeded 20 billion.
Zhao Liying's acting career in recent years can be said to have skyrocketed. She is currently one of the most popular post-85 florists.
Lu Xueqi played by Yang Zi
Because of the hit drama "Family with Children", Yang Zi was very well-known at that time.
Although Yang Zi's Tucao played Lu Xueqi's appearance is average, not cool enough and lacks fairy spirit, but later in the fairy tale drama " fragrant honey embers like frost " was well received.
Lin Jingyu's actor Chengyi
Male No. 2 Cheng Yi was a little actor who was still unknown at the time. In 2020, he became popular overnight with the immortal drama " Liuli ", and starred in " Changannuo " and "". Dramas such as Nanfeng Knows My Mind " are currently top-notch students.
Xiaoqi 's actor Yi Yang Qianxi
Yi Yang Qianxi's role is not many, but his acting skills are remarkable, and because of his relatively young age, he reveals a young sense of youth.
In fact, all the members of TFboys starred in "Qing Yunzhi", Wang Yuan played the young Zhang Xiaofan, and Wang Junkai played the young Lin Jingyu.
Ren Jialun, who plays the six-tailed white fox,
Ren Jialun also has very few scenes, and the thick bangs seriously affect the whole look and feel.
In recent years, Ren Jialun has continued to have good dramas. He has successively passed dramas such as "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", " Under the Brocade", " Zhou Shengru " and other dramas, and his acting career is in full swing.
In addition, there are Shu Chang , Wu Yue , Zeng Li , Xie Ning , Huang Haibing and other powerful actors.
The cast of the play is very strong, and the novel "Zhu Xian" has gathered countless fans, but the whole play was ruined by the screenwriter, director, and producer. Although
and Xiao Ding and received considerable royalties, they must be extremely disappointed to see their hard work being arbitrarily adapted.
In recent years, the quality of domestic Xianxia dramas has been declining all the way, and even CCTV will issue a rescue in 2021: Don't focus on love-hate entanglements, you need more to show the growth of the characters and reflect the chivalrous feelings.
is not only that, but CCTV shows 6 film and television dramas as benchmarks through pictures, and the series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is on the list.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the beginning of the domestic fairy tale drama, but what is unexpected is that the beginning is the peak, and the peak is the swan song. After the premiere of
, the score has risen from 6 points to 9.1 points today. There is a sentimental factor, but it is more of a foil for other fairy tales. There is a saying in
that "Without Hu Ge there is no fairy sword", but Hu Ge has long since stopped filming Xianxia dramas.
Next, Yang Mi , Huo Jianhua , Chen Weiting and others inherited the mantle of "Xianxia", and later Zhao Liying, Yang Zi, Dilireba also joined the Xianxia army.
Later, the Xianxia drama gradually changed its flavor.
A good Xianxia drama must highlight the word "Xianxia", Xian is Xianqi, Xia is Xiaqi, but now Xianxia dramas have long lost their Xian Xia, and only the popularity is left.
They talked about the same kind of love in the play, and did the same kind of sadomasochism: the beginning of love, ambiguity, falling in love, misunderstanding each other, the villain doing things, and finally the hero or heroine sacrificed himself to save the people.
still has several lifetimes, several seas and several wastes. As long as
encounters difficulties, either the female protagonist sacrifices to the sky or the male protagonist kills the Quartet.
Their martial arts movements are very similar, and the oaths made by the male protagonists are also very similar.
In short, the current Xianxia dramas are the same, white face carved out of a mold, exactly the same makeup, cheap clothing wholesaled by a platform. What is the
Xianxia drama?
is the noble and upright family and country feelings, the gushing love and hatred, and the unyielding heart to break free from bondage.
remembers the era of Hong Kong dramas when I was a child. I like to watch " Sun Moon Sword " and " Shushan Qixia ".
They are basically people-oriented, see the big from the small. The protagonist of
has destiny, but no noble identity. The main line of
's plot is interspersed with many ghostly and ghostly unit stories. The love line is used as an auxiliary, which is mainly used to adjust the atmosphere.
The plots of "Sword of the Sun and Moon" and "Shushan Qixia" will never appear in "Eternal Juechen": the Three Realms will be recast without recasting, but some things will never come back. The sentence
was said by the god-respected Apocalypse.
What he said could never come back was his love, the ancient gods.
The lives of all beings in the Three Realms are not as important as his love.
The current situation of Xianxia dramas is almost always like this. The protagonist breaks through the shackles and taboos. Knowing and staying with his lover is the core, and saving the common people is just a beautiful coat, just talking about it. What makes
even more puzzling is that all the contradictions and conflicts set up for the hero and heroine in the play have gone from threatening the world to the enemy who kills the father and mother, or the war between classes. All the foreshadowing of
is to highlight how rock-solid and hard-won the love of the male and female protagonists is. What about
chivalry?
is gone!
replaced it with affectionate love.
Of course, the "Xianjian" series and "Xuanyuan Sword" are also about chivalry, and the protagonists are all flesh-and-blood mortals at first.
Although they are all ordinary people, they will still stand up when faced with righteousness, knowing that they cannot do it, this is chivalry.
On the other hand, in recent Xianxia dramas, the protagonist is always a descendant of Nuwa, a fairy, and falls in love in the name of a fairy.
The greatest hero is for the country and the people.
"Chivalry" is the bone, "Children's affection" is the skin, and the combination of the two is the only kind of chivalrous tenderness.
's Xianxia dramas today have become idol dramas dressed in Xianxia clothes, and have become star-making products that can be mass-produced.
They lost chivalry, but they added a lot of dross, such as attaching importance to blood. The protagonists of the
Immortal Sword series are all ordinary people. They started from small people and experienced setbacks, hardships, and perseverance, which made the audience have a strong sense of substitution after watching it, and imagined that they could become heroes like them. No one in the
drama will care about their blood, origin, inheritance, these external factors are not important at all.
However, the current Xianxia dramas pay attention to blood origin, honor and inferiority, and three, six, nine, and so on.
Chinese people have always hated this kind of high and low, but why is it being hyped by the so-called Xianxia drama today in the 21st century?
Of course, a large part of the reason comes from the adaptation of the online text, because "Qing Yun Zhi" hit the street, many screenwriters dare not adapt the original text, they are afraid of offending the audience of the novel, after all, these people are also powerful supporter.
But then again, there are also many fantasy novels about family and country feelings in the online literature world. Maybe the problem lies with the screenwriter.
During a reading original IP ceremony, Hu Ge said: "I haven't made Xianxia and Xuanhuan works in 10 years. 10 years ago, I said I wanted to transform. But this year I want to say, why didn't I make a film? What? Because I haven't seen a good script, I haven't seen a good story. Because of film and television creation, content is always the top priority."
's words were concise, but they revealed the current status of Xianxia dramas.
