Zhao Liying plays the female lead Shen Li in "Traveling with the Phoenix".
Shen Li is the biological daughter of Liu Yu and Feng Lai. Her mother died after giving birth to Shen Li due to postpartum hemorrhage. Shen Li was raised by Shen Muyue.
Shen Li has a straightforward personality, outspoken, silly appearance, and a weak and petite figure. Although Shen Li is weak and petite, she has great martial arts skills, immense strength, explosive fighting ability, rough and tough, domineering, and the aura of a king. Because of this, Shen Li calls himself this king every time.
Even if she escaped from marriage, was injured and fell to the mortal world, and was treated like a fat chicken after returning to her original form, Shen Li still did not change her true colors and was still domineering. When she was teased and bullied by Xing Zhi, she kept saying harshly to Xing Zhi that when she returned to the demon world, she would have people destroy Xing Zhi's nine tribes.
The gap from the Bi Cang King in the demon world to the fat chicken in the mortal world is huge. It is this gap that highlights Shen Li's frankness and cuteness.
Look at Shen Li, is it full of contrast?
Lin Gengxin plays Xingzhi in "Traveling with the Phoenix". Xingzhi is the last ancient god who comes down to earth to experience life. He was moved by Shen Li's frank and lovely character, so he fell in love with her and fell in love with Shen Li unknowingly.
Xingxing was originally a ruthless and desireless god. Why did he fall in love with Shen Li?
In the fairy world, Xingzhi is an ancient god and the only living god. He has a cold personality and extremely high martial arts skills. He is ruthless and desireless, aloof from the world, and does not care about worldly matters. He is the reliance of the immortal world.
Although Xingzhi is an ancient god, he is not absolutely heartless and desireless. His emotions and desires were actually suppressed.
Everyone knows that whether it is the fairy world or the heavenly world, there is a strong hierarchy in it. Everyone's expression was solemn, and they were careful even when breathing and speaking, for fear of violating some taboos and rules.
Except for the Heavenly King of the Immortal Realm who is aloof, everyone else has to bow their heads, lower their eyebrows and lower their sleeves. If the Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Realm does not smile, others will not dare to laugh. As soon as the Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Realm opens his mouth, the others have to carefully consider the Heavenly Lord's intentions, for fear of not being able to keep up. In such an environment, it is full of depression and the atmosphere is suffocating.
Xingxing, as the only ancient god that the immortal world relies on, has to keep a straight face and pretend to be pretentious. How can you not be tired on days like this?
A person like Xing Zhi who pretends to be God, once he meets a cutie like Shen Li in the mortal world, can he continue to pretend? Can his suppressed emotions and desires continue to be suppressed? Shen Li's frankness and cuteness releases the soul that has been suppressed by behavior.
Some viewers asked why Lin Gengxin, who is 1.86 meters tall, was chosen to play Xing Zhi in "Hong Kong Feng", and why Zhao Liying, who is 1.65 meters tall, was chosen to play Shen Li?
A big man who is 1.86 meters tall and a petite and delicate girl who is 1.65 meters tall are joking and falling in love together. This contrast is cute and funny to watch, and it is very atmospheric.
From this perspective, there is no problem with the casting of "Traveling with the Phoenix".
In terms of casting, the best thing about "Traveling with the Phoenix" is the choice of Liu Guanlin to play the role of the Heavenly King of the Immortal Realm. Who is Liu Guanlin, King Jiji, Su Wenxing, Niu Dali! Most of Liu Guanlin's characters are comedians, either silly or funny. Wherever there is Liu Guanlin's character, there is an air of joy.
Think about it, let a comedian and actor like Liu Guanlin pretend to be aloof and superior to the heavenly king in the solemn and depressing fairyland. Just think about it and you will feel happy.
If Liu Guanlin had forced himself to suppress himself on the throne of the Immortal Palace in "Walking with the Phoenix" and pretended to be solemn with his expression, the audience would have burst into laughter and felt sick to their stomachs.
Therefore, in addition to the petite and frail Shen Li and the tall Xing Zhi, Liu Guanlin's role as the Immortal God is also one of the biggest highlights of "Walking with the Phoenix". There may be a situation where the supporting characters overtake the protagonists.
In addition to Liu Guanlin's role as the Heavenly King of the Immortal Realm, Li Jiaqi's role as Youlan is also one of the highlights. Considering Li Jiaqi's appearance, the character's name in the play is actually Youlan, which is interesting when you think about it.
There is also a lady like Xuan Lu who is recognized as having a pure temperament, but the character Liu Yu in "Traveling with the Phoenix" is a bitter person. Who can resist watching this contrast.
Dong Jie has a quiet temperament of a good wife and mother. Her aura is very soft and always gives people a warm feeling. It would be more interesting if Yun Niang, played by Dong Jie in "Traveling with the Phoenix", was designed to be a ruthless character.
Generally speaking, "Traveling with Phoenix" focuses on two words: contrast! The characters in the play have their own contrasts, coupled with the contrast between the actors and the characters, it is difficult not to laugh while watching "Walking with the Phoenix".
The result of the contrast between all members may be the protagonists of all members. Whichever character contributes the most laughter and joy is the real protagonist. The story of the supporting character overtaking the protagonist may continue to repeat itself in "Traveling with the Phoenix".
In the main hall of the immortal world, there are beautiful buildings and jade buildings, and it is extremely cold at high places. Dancing clear shadow, like in the world!
