The popularity of the ancient puppet drama "Traveling with the Phoenix" has indeed injected a tough battle into tonight's show. This drama not only dominates the prime time slot on Hunan Satellite TV, but is also simulcast on two major platforms, Goose Factory and Mango, which shows its high popularity.
"Traveling with Phoenix" is produced by Zhao Liying, starring Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin, and joined by actors such as Xin Yunlai, He Yu, Li Jiaqi, Zeng Li and others. It is adapted from the novel "The King Is Here" by Jiu Lu Feixiang of Jinjiang Literature City , tells a fantasy story between Shen Li (played by Zhao Liying), the blue king of the spiritual world who controls destiny, and Shen Xingzhi (played by Lin Gengxin) who travels in the human world.
In this drama, in order to control her own destiny, Shen Li accidentally met Shen Xingzhi while escaping from marriage, and the two embarked on an adventure journey to transcend evil forces and explore the truth. In this process, they not only have feelings for each other, but also make difficult choices between love and responsibility.
Shen Li is a brave and strong woman. In order to protect her people, she bravely fights against evil forces, and even sacrifices herself in the East China Sea to fulfill her righteousness. Xingzhi is the last god in ancient times. He shoulders the important task of guarding the outer world and takes protecting the peace of the world as his own responsibility. In the process of getting along with Shen Li, he gradually realized the meaning of responsibility, and finally bravely shouldered his mission, willing to sacrifice himself to protect the peace of the world.
In this ups and downs story, both Shen Li and Xing Zhi re-understood the true meaning of love, responsibility and life. They used their actions to interpret the true meaning of love and responsibility, and demonstrated their selfless dedication and protection to the world.
"Traveling with the Phoenix" is not only a costume drama with a gripping plot, but also a work rich in philosophical meaning. By thinking about love, responsibility and life, it arouses the audience's deepest resonance and thinking. The success of this drama lies not only in its wonderful storyline and superb acting skills, but also in the profound meaning and emotional resonance it conveys. It has become one of the popular dramas pursued by the current audience.
"Walking with the Phoenix" has aroused eager anticipation from the film crew even before its official debut. They released a trailer of more than 20 minutes in total, which can almost take up half an episode. The influx of this wave of short films also gave the show its first wave of word-of-mouth.
Judging from the trailer, the interaction between the two leading actors is very natural, and the character settings are also relatively suitable. Their performance did not deliberately show cuteness or exaggerated movements, but was more down-to-earth. I could feel the sparks of emotion when they looked at each other.
Especially Zhao Liying has completely supported the aura of "strong women and weak men" in her performance. Her performance has reached a level that is even more comfortable compared with that of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" back then. And Lin Gengxin doesn't need to deliberately highlight his cold temperament. In front of Zhao Liying, he naturally looks "shorter". The contrast between the two is very interesting.
In fact, for them, acting in costume idol dramas is completely overqualified. Their performances are natural and real, and the audience can easily immerse themselves in them and are willing to continue to follow the show.
However, although the trailer aroused expectations, it also attracted a lot of doubts. Some viewers thought that the performance of the supporting characters was mediocre and that the leading actor's condition was a bit inconsistent. The focus of these criticisms was on age.
With the release of many trailers, many netizens have questioned the age of the actors in the play. They felt that the supporting cast was underperforming and the lead actor was not in good enough shape. For a costume idol drama on Star TV, this performance seems a bit unacceptable.
Some viewers even pointed out that the quality of the play was extremely inconsistent with the promotion. They felt that the special effects were insufficient and that there were also problems with Zhao Liying's makeup. Some people suspect that Zhao Liying put on her own makeup because the eyeliner was not close to her eyes, the arc of the false eyelashes was too exaggerated, and the color of the lipstick did not look natural enough.
Overall, although the trailer showed some highlights of the show, it also raised concerns about the quality of the series. Faced with these doubts, the film studio may need to make more efforts to quell the audience's dissatisfaction, so that the series can receive more recognition and support after it is officially broadcast.
