On March 6, the TV series "Happy Heroes" was officially announced and will be exclusively launched online on March 7 on Tencent Video. This TV series stars Sun Yizhou , Lan Yingying , Yang Jue and Bai Ke . The play is adapted from Gu Long's martial arts novel, written and directed by Shang Jing. Because of the blessing of director Shang Jing, this TV series is highly anticipated.
Jin Yong and Gu Long belong to two styles of martial arts. Jin Yong paid more attention to the knights' great feelings about their family, country and world, while Gu Long paid more attention to the graceful and suave knights as individual beings. TV dramas adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts are relatively common, while martial arts dramas adapted from Gu Long's novels have been a bit depressed in recent years. Therefore, this time "Happy Heroes" is even more anticipated by everyone.
Audiences may wish to take a look at the plot synopsis of this TV series:
"Fugui Villa" in Ping'an Town is the residence of the "Bai Lao Hui", the largest gang in the world. Three elders who are eager to retire are raising their children Lin Taiping (played by Yang Jue). ), Wang Dong (played by Sun Yizhou), and Yan Qi (played by Lan Yingying) were trained as successors, not only interrupting their living expenses, but also trying to accelerate the growth of their children by creating problems. Unexpectedly, the civilian knight Guo Dalu (played by Bai Ke) appears halfway and disrupts their plan.
He became friends with three young heroes and ran a martial arts school, a newspaper office, a theater troupe, and a detective agency... Not only did he become more and more poor, but he also attracted opponents to take advantage of the situation... At the same time, the four young heroes also faced internal unity. , hostile forces, love disputes and other issues. Gradually, they gained the ability to make a living, cherished each other, and their love relationships blossomed... When the third elder decided to pass the elder's position to the three young heroes, the young heroes refused. They believe that people who bring joy to themselves and others in the ordinary are also heroes.
Director Shang Jing is best known for his works such as " Wulin Gaiden " and "The Story of the Cooking Class". Especially "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom classic memory for a generation. Because the play is about martial arts, many viewers consciously associate "Wulin Gaiden" with "Happy Heroes". Judging from the trailer released by "Happy Heroes", this TV series is still different from "Wulin Gaiden" and cannot be classified as a simple sitcom.
However, director Shang Jing is good at creating sitcoms, so this "Happy Heroes" will inevitably have the shadow of a sitcom. In recent years, the more popular "situation comedy" is Dragon TV's " launched!" The sitcom "" was a variety show for two consecutive seasons. In this variety show, there are many exciting sitcom creative shows. However, the entire sitcom market has not achieved the glory of the past. The popularity of a few sitcoms is not the popularity of the entire market.
Because of this, director Shang Jing's return work "Happy Heroes" is actually anticipated by many sitcom fans. Comedies with martial arts themes tend to be popular. For example, last year's "The Legend of Magpie Sword" starring teacher Zhao Benshan was a work that excited the audience for a while. I don’t know if “Happy Heroes” can achieve the market popularity of “Legend of Magpie Sword Gate”.
While maintaining basic expectations for director Shang Jing, we also need to pay attention to another thing: the creation of this TV series was completed in 2018, which has been 6 years ago. After a TV series was completed, it was not immediately launched online or broadcast on stars. There must be many reasons. The reason why many stock dramas enter the warehouse is that their quality is indeed not good enough. After watching the films in the industry, there is a lack of desire to buy them.
Based on this, many TV dramas that have been filmed for many years but have not been released online or become stars need to lower their expectations. Everyone's expectations were very high. After "Happy Heroes" was launched, it could not meet everyone's expectations. On the contrary, it was easy for word-of-mouth to suffer an instant failure.
When the TV series "Happy Heroes" was filmed, Baike was just a small celebrity. Now, with comedy movies such as "Don't Stop at the Annual Party", he has grown into a real comedy star.Obviously, there will be many fans who come to watch this TV series. In addition, there are many comedians such as Fan Ming, Jia Bing, and Liu Yajin participating in the starring role. In terms of comedy star lineup, this drama is still relatively strong.
In addition, the plot of this TV series has been announced to the public for 51 episodes. This number of plot episodes has been relatively rare in recent years. Back then, it was commonplace. In those days, the more episodes a TV series had, the easier it was for producers to make money. The original novel written by Gu Long is about 300,000 words, and it was adapted into a 51-episode TV series by director Shang Jing, which may indeed cause water injection problems in the drama. In the current environment of film and television fast food, will Director Shang Jing's "slowly accompanying" still work? We might as well wait and see. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
