A fairy sword battle begins in domestic entertainment.
One is the platform war.
Over here, Gouchang has just announced that "Sword and Fairy 6" will be released on January 18th. Over at
, Taochang directly announced: "Sword and Fairy 4" will be released tonight!
netizen: What a great fight for capital.
The second is a position game.
Taochang's "Sword and Sword 4" has not even started airing yet, but a big discussion about the roles of the male lead Chen Zheyuan and the female lead Ju Jingyi has already become a hot search topic. This article will not discuss who
is and who is wrong. I really can’t understand who is Ichiban with my limited intelligence.
But the rules of the domestic entertainment ranking battle game have obviously risen to a new level because of this battle.
The extras of the main drama are more exciting than the series. I don’t know whether I am happy or worried?
But what I want to talk about today is not "Sword and Sword 4" which has already been aired, but "Sword and Sword 4" which will be aired tonight.
Although compared to the Taochang drama, the two male and female protagonists Xu Kai and Yu Shuxin in Goosechang have not had any controversy over their roles. In terms of popularity on hot searches, they are indeed far inferior to the former.
But this is one of the reasons why I choose to recommend "Sword and Fairy 6" between the two "Sequels" of Sword and Sword that came one after another.
has no intention of complaining about domestic entertainment dramas. It's exciting and brain-burning, even more exciting than a suspense drama.
But I personally prefer the drama where the focus is on the drama.
Regarding "Fairy Sword 6", many game fans know that the first part of the "Fairy Sword" game series has the best setting, and the third part has wonderful details, but in terms of the depth of the story, it is actually the sixth part.
Although the controversy is expected, almost everyone said: No matter how you film it, it will definitely not be able to surpass the 2005 one.
"Without Hu Ge, there is no Fairy Sword."
But as a Fairy Sword fan, I still can't help but look forward to today's Fairy Sword series.
Today, let’s talk about the sequel to this timeless classic -
But the story starts with Li Xiaoyao.
1. Looking back: Why are "Sword and Fairy 1" and "Sword and Fairy 3" classics?
To introduce this "Sword and Sword 6", I think we must first talk about the classic of that year and why it is a classic.
Many people don’t know that when “Sword and Sword 1” was released, it was scolded by netizens and scored 7.9 on Douban.
It took a long time for the drama's rating to rise step by step to today's 9.1, completing a great counterattack.
"Sword of Sword 1" is a stand-alone RPG game released in 1995.
Looking back, the most exciting thing about the game is its setting.
As for Hu Ge's drama version, the biggest change is also the setting.
For example, I tried on the makeup of other characters, and was struck by the game creator. Hu Ge was hand-picked to play Li Xiaoyao. As soon as his character Li Xiaoyao came on stage, his character was very fierce.
Hug you from left to right, so happy. The protagonist of the second part of the
game, Wang Xiaohu, was supposed to be a child in the Xian1 game, but was played by Hong Kong actor Li Cansen, and he became Li Xiaoyao's brother.
Jiu Jianxian was arranged for a romantic drama, and she and Anu became father and daughter.
In short, compared to the game, the series is a "magic modification".
But looking back, the plot has been changed like this. Game fans back then still gave the series a 7.9 score for only one reason: casting.
Hu Ge and Liu Yifei are two protagonists who are not perhaps unsurpassable, but definitely unsurpassable.
The young Hu Ge plays the role of a handsome young man in Yuhang Town.
is high-spirited, smart and carefree.
The acting skills of 16-year-old Liu Yifei cannot be compared with those in "Meng Hua Lu".
But precisely because of his immaturity, he perfectly interprets Zhao Ling'er's innocent temperament.
Peng Yuyan also became known to mainland audiences through this drama.
There is no need to say more about Xie Junhao’s Jiu Jian Xian. If we were to rank gold medal supporting roles in Xian Xia dramas, this character would be firmly in the top three.
The wine-swordsman he plays is free and unrestrained, and the world is misty and carefree. If Hu Ge hadn't been so right, his glory would have been snatched away in minutes.
Later, Li Chungang was cast in "Swordsman in the Snow", and he was still the number one choice for the swordsman among many netizens.
Even Tan Yaowen's Jiang Ming and Jiang Xin's Nv Yuan are highly recognized, and Jiang Xin also contributed her peak appearance in costume dramas.
Finally, there is the main villain of the whole drama - the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult played by Xu Jinjiang.
I said that the Jiujianxianbao two are fighting for one, and the one they are fighting for is with the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult.
This ruthless character with long shawl hair and thick eyebrows is so classic that even "The Great Protector" has paid homage to this image. Even if
’s character is great, even Mak Chin-hong, who is responsible for the soundtrack of the entire film, has composed 18 soundtracks for the series such as "Legend of Sword" and "Don't Lose, Never Forget", which are considered to be the eternal pinnacle of fairy tale dramas and cannot be surpassed. .
's opening song "Slaying the Wolf", ending song "Finally Understood", and interludes "June Rain" and "Happy Sigh" are still popular today.
Actually, this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a co-production, with actors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and the director is Hong Kong director Li Guoli.
Among the screenwriters and directors, many will later become independent great directors of fairy tale dramas. Even the chief creators such as Fu Huadao will support the fairy tale dramas in the next ten years.
is the first Xianxia drama filmed in the Mainland, and also the first TV series adapted from a game. No one expected it to be so successful when it first came out. Unexpectedly, the drama almost single-handedly created the Xianxia genre. An enduring theme of domestic dramas.
Tang Dynasty became famous in one battle, and Hu Ge created his first classic role in life: Li Xiaoyao.
Descendants said: "I once thought that "Sword and Sword" would be the beginning of fairy tale dramas, but I didn't expect that this would be the peak."
However, there is another fairy tale drama that is as popular as "Sword and Sword 1", and it will be four years later. The newly released "Sword and Sword 3" scored 9.0 points, which is indistinguishable from the first part which scored 9.1 points.
This one is the most classic, it has created a large number of almost perfect female characters in fairy tales.
For example, Liu Shishi’s character Long Kui was offline early, but there are still many viewers who can’t forget this character.
And Tang Yan's Zixuan is not only the Bai Yueguang in Bai Doufu's mind, but also the Bai Yueguang in the minds of the majority of TV viewers.
Guo Xiaoting, the little girl back then, is now very popular.
Hu Ge plays Jingtian, the young man from Yong'an in Yuzhou City. Although the role is a bit repetitive, it is still classic enough. He himself made a guest appearance as Li Xiaoyao in the play, which is a classic scene in the hearts of many viewers. The last scene in the play between the
character and Tang Xuejian can be said to be one of the most artistic and famous love scenes in Xianxia dramas.
In short, "Fairy Sword 1" and "Fairy Sword 3" have created the pinnacle of domestic fairy tale dramas in every aspect. The question is: how to surpass them?
2. Story: artificial man, the legend of Kunpeng, double amnesia, the plot of "Chinese Sword 6" is indeed far ahead
Many game fans know how classic the story of "Chinese Sword 6" is. In fact, the trailer released by Goose Factory has already... The audience sketched the outline of the plot:
Yue Jinchen and Yue Qi have been together in Wuyan Village for three years, and have a magical "resonance" relationship, but they know nothing about their respective life experiences. All I know is -
The two of them traveled hand in hand, hoping to retrieve their past memories. He was involved in mysterious events such as the rebellion of the Qihun Holy Sect and the Luojiabao blood sacrifice. In the process of fighting against the Holy Sect, Yue Qi's sealed memories and emotions were accidentally opened.
As the incident progressed, Shuangyue got acquainted with Luo Jiaming and Luo Zhaoyan, the twins of Luojiabao, the Millennium Wolf Demon Xianqing, Gu Hanjiang, Mingxiu’s master and apprentice, and Ju Shifang, etc. The true identities of the two also gradually Revealed.
Zhengwu League, Qihun Shengzong, Hengdaozhong, and Yuyao Clan, several major forces came one after another. Who is the real person behind the scenes?
Audiences who have played the game know that the drama version of the plot is highly restored.
In other words, the audience will most likely see the classic Jiuquan and Longtan Spring in the game. One person's life can be exchanged for another person's life. The price is not only disappearance, but also the memory of all the people or events related to him will be lost to others. replace.
This is why the male protagonist Yue Jin can never find out his life experience, because he doesn't have it. He was created by Bian Luohuan.
The heroine is a young king of the Yu tribe.
And all the conspiracies are actually related to Kun's ascension.
In the game, Yue Jinchao's life finally came to an end in the battle with Kun. This character setting is why many people think Xianliu's story script is a classic.
It finally jumped out of the setting of Wuling and Nuwa, an artificial human who exchanged his own life for his own life, and finally died fighting for the one he loved. The story has profound meaning and broadens the entire fairy sword pattern.
If the main creator can realize the story potential of the original work, the watchability of "Sword and Sword 6" will definitely not be low.
3. Main creator: Shanying, the popular Peanut partner, the three supporting roles are worth looking forward to
The main creative lineup of "Sword and Sword 6" is not simple.
The first name I want to say is "Mountain Shadow".
Yes, it is the mountain shadow in your memory: Shandong Film and Television Media Group, Noon Sunshine was born out of the "mountain shadow".
Shanying's works cover a variety of themes, but the historical and historical legendary dramas are the most classic. Zhu Yanping's version of "Wu Song", "Crossing Guandong", "Parental Love", "Langya Bang", etc. are all from Shanying.
Shanying also produces fairy tale dramas, which may be beyond the expectations of many people. It also reflects the changes in the domestic drama market: even Shanying has to follow the trend.
But it is controlled by Shanying. I believe that at least the popular character in Xianxia dramas-Wo Huang will not appear in the drama.
I transfer.
I will dump it again.
The second place is screenwriter Wang Hong, whose masterpieces are "Si Teng" and "Scorching Romance". He is an absolute proficient in ancient puppet dramas. The screenwriter's dramas are equally divided, not low.
The third place, director Liu Guonan, once created the "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" series, and he will also be the director of "The Story of the Willow Boat", which is promising in the industry.
He is characterized by beautiful lens language, compact narrative, high level of completion in action scenes and special effects, and there is no dark history of using strange lenses such as reel lenses.
Let’s take a look at the protagonist lineup.
The male protagonist Xu Kai, although he has lacked big hit dramas recently, his good looks and ancient costumes still keep him firmly in the front line of ancient puppet dramas. What he lacks now is another role that makes him successful.
As mentioned before, the roles of Yue Jinchao and Bian Luohuan are both brilliant. It just depends on how Xu Kai himself plays them.
Yu Shuxin has performed in hits such as "Canglan Jue" and "Cloud Feather" one after another. It is obviously not just luck. From the cute little orchid to the female spy Yun Weishan in "Cloud Feather", Yu Shuxin is in this session Xiao Huazhong's acting skills are not outstanding, but her audience popularity and sense of immersion in the role are definitely not low.
And her image is very consistent with the image of Yue Qi in the game, so she should still be able to shine this time.
There is also the female lead Er Wanpeng, who is my favorite actor in the main cast.
She is one of the few talents in the domestic entertainment industry who is good at both good looks and acting. "The Lost Eleven" has a mediocre reputation, but her role as a female killer is well received. As a graduate of Beijing Dance University, she probably doesn't have many rivals for her exciting fighting scenes in domestic entertainment.
Now she just needs a drama to fully unleash her potential. This time she is dressed in red and holding a spear. The trailer is eye-catching. I am extremely optimistic about her role as Luo Zhaoyan.
Finally, let’s talk about the three supporting characters worth looking forward to.
One, Han Dong, plays a supporting role in Xianxia dramas, and he has never lost. He handles the role of Ying Xuwei with ease.
Secondly, Chen Zihan's appearance is still the same as before, and she is still brilliant in playing female roles like Ge Qingfei.
Thirdly, Liu Min, from "Wulin Gaiden" and "Diao Chan" to the charming Liu Rusi in "Red", Liu Min has played many beauties. This time her role should be the big devil in the play. I wait for her to shine again.
4. Breaking the situation: Can the Xianxia drama break the situation? I still hope that today
From "Sword and Sword 1" to today's "Sword and Sword 6", Chinese dramas have already changed a lot.
But how far have Chinese dramas improved? This question is difficult to answer.
Many of the fairy tale dramas after "Sword and Sword 3" were considered by the audience to be too bad to watch, including "Sword and Sword 5" produced by Tang Dynasty and rated 4 points on Douban.
It is normal for the audience not to be optimistic about this new wave of "Sword".
Because we have seen what is truly unique. It can be regarded as witnessing a small piece of the magnificent history of fairy tales.
But today's Gudou Xianxia is full of moves that make people have questions.
The abnormal market has also contributed to the argument that ancient puppets do not need acting skills.
Appearance and popularity have become the criteria for measuring whether an actor is suitable for the role.
But back then, Hu Ge, Peng Yuyan, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi had no traffic, good looks, and not weak acting skills, and they became the classics of a generation of fairy tale dramas.
Has the fairy tale drama changed, the market changed, or the audience has changed?
But looking back, is traffic really that effective? Then tell me, after the "Fairy Sword" series, how many real hit Xianxia dramas have there been?
The audience actually knows best.
Therefore, the way to the success of "Sword and Sword 6" is not to be at the top once and for all, but to spend more effort and thought.
is less perfunctory and shoddy.
proves with actions that today’s Oriental Xianxia is no worse than 19 years ago!
In "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Lin Yueru has a line: "I'll eat until I'm old and play until I'm old. It turns out that I'm already so old."
Unknowingly, 19 years have passed.
Without some eye-catching fairy tale dramas, fairy tale dramas will really get old!
The plot of the "Xianxia 6" game is considered by many to be a new classic. Can the TV series also create another classic?
still prays for the present.
