It must be said that domestic costume dramas are gaining momentum.
first aired the comic-adapted drama " Flames ", which directly topped the popularity list on the entire network. Then "Flower Room Order" was launched, which was evenly matched with "Flame". Now " and Feng Xing " has finally been broadcast, and it is Overtaking the first two dramas, it directly won the most popular title.
This alone is not enough. "Traveling with the Phoenix" is also a star drama, and its performance on satellite TV is also very good, ranking first in ratings.
This not only shows that Zhao Liying 's ability to carry dramas is still strong, but the audience's expectations for this drama are also very high. Even in terms of quality, this drama can secure its double crown in the future.
is indeed the flagship drama that you have been waiting for for 2 years. This is what an S-class costume drama should be!
There are laughs and tears, the costume fairy drama finally broke the rules
To be honest, the costume fairy dramas in the past two years have made people love and hate them. The precise quality of
's casting is almost unsatisfactory. Those with good scripts may not be able to attract big stars to support them, and in the end they often end up with mediocre response.
The most common problem is that the plots are all the same. Audiences with experience in watching dramas will probably know what to expect next after watching the first episode.
But the beginning of "Traveling with the Phoenix" is a little different. It is obviously a very daily plot, but because of the tight rhythm, large amount of information, and the main and auxiliary lines going hand in hand, it does not make people feel boring at all, and it successfully whets the appetite.
The main plot tells the story of King Shen Li (played by Zhao Liying) who escapes from marriage.
Shen Li was dissatisfied with the spiritual world's marriage arrangements for her, so she decided to escape from the marriage. After a battle with everyone, she fell into the mortal world and met the ancient Shenxing Yun (played by Lin Gengxin ).
But because the other party hid his identity, Shen Li didn't know who he was, but in the process of getting along with him, he gradually fell in love with Xingyun, who was careful and good at cooking.
The two did not take the sweet route in their daily interactions, but used a comedy approach to make the audience laugh.
For example, Xingyun, in order to see if Shen Li cared about him, pretended to be drowning and asked Shen Li to save him. Originally, the scene of a beautiful woman becoming a hero was so sweet, but when Shen Li got into the water, she grabbed Xingyun's hair and dragged him up, which instantly made people unbearable.
Another example is that Xiao Tao (played by Wang Ziwei ) who admires Xingyun is going south to do business with his father and comes to say goodbye to him. , simply without oil and salt, just tore all the peach blossoms into pieces.
Shen Li, who was sealed by Xingyun's formation, turned into a colorful chicken. He watched the gossip from the C position throughout the whole process, making complaints while watching, and instantly turned into a crowd.
sub-plot revolves around the love story of the supporting character.
In the past, there were only a handful of costumed fairy tale dramas that could be made into group dramas. Most of them were devoted to telling the love story of the male and female protagonists in a sweet and sadistic way.
But the supporting characters in "Traveling with the Phoenix" are all interesting and really add to the drama.
For example, Yun Niang, played by Dong Jie , has been waiting for her husband for fifteen years, but she doesn’t know that her husband died in the battlefield and his soul has come to her side and stayed with her for more than ten years.
With the help of Shen Li and Xingyun, the two finally met. After sharing their heartfelt feelings, the general who died in the battle learned that staying with Yun Niang would shorten her life, so he chose to leave.
The two infatuated lovers each kept their promises. When they met, they remained speechless, holding each other tightly and cherishing every second of their time together.
A love story like this really brings tears to the eyes of those who watch it. The ability to capture the love story of a supporting character in such a touching way shows the sincerity and dedication of this ensemble drama "Traveling with the Phoenix".
Another example is the demon spirit Xiao He (played by Huang Yi) who was raised by Jing Yan (played by Li Zifeng). He did not know that Jing Yan still had a beloved in the secret room, and mistakenly thought that the one he loved was herself.
Xiaohe's innocent and smart appearance makes people more and more unbearable to watch the subsequent plot. How will he deal with himself after learning the truth? It is destined to be a bad relationship.
While the relationship between the male and female protagonists is gradually progressing, the story lines of these supporting characters are also advancing steadily, which invisibly increases the interest of the series.
All members are competing online, Zhao Liying is more stable, and Lin Gengxin is more proficient
A drama series like "Traveling with the Phoenix" that has popular and top talents has naturally attracted many powerful actors to join. Judging from the early plot , the performances of the three actors are the most impressive.
No. 1, Zhao Liying
In the past, she acted in costume fairy tales. Zhao Liying chose roles that fit her image and temperament, all supported by her acting talent and innate agility.
Therefore, the image of Hua Qiangu is particularly successful.
But this time, Zhao Liying broke everyone's inherent impression of her in ancient costume fairy tales and directly played the role of a resolute, powerful, and hot-tempered queen.
Whether it is Zhao Liying dressed as a goddess of war and wearing a high bun, or Zhao Liying with disheveled hair and plain clothes, looking like a fairy, the powerful feeling in her eyes has not diminished at all.
This kind of strong female character is easy for today's Zhao Liying. It is completely Xu Banxia's style. Zhao Liying has been quite stable in this kind of specialty role.
But the difference is that when Zhao Liying plays this role, her eyes are still a bit pure and gentle, which is in line with her setting of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with explosive fighting power, but simple and ignorant of the world on the inside.
ranked second, Lin Gengxin
Lin Gengxin is also one of the few actors who pretends to be delicate and does not make people feel greasy. In the play, Shen Li threw him to the ground with a palm. He groaned and couldn't get up. He was squirming. His appearance, far from being annoying, actually made him laugh.
Although Lin Gengxin rarely attempts the theme of ancient costume fairy tales, his appearance in the play is also full of fairy spirit, leisurely and calm, which is very consistent with his character of an ancient god, and he has a sense of having everything under control. Calm down.
Lin Gengxin played this role very interestingly. He looked at Shen Li throwing away his tank with a look of reluctance, and because he deceived Shen Li, she never changed into a human form. Shen Li Lin Gengxin's cowardly and cowardly expression when he got angry when he found out was also spot on.
Compared with his acting in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Lin Gengxin's acting skills in "Traveling with Feng" are obviously much more skillful.
The third place, Dong Jie
In the early plot, the tears were contributed by Dong Jie. The Yun Niang she played was affectionate and dedicated. She was regarded as a madman for 15 years, but she still stuck to her sweetheart.
I prayed to Xingyun to figure out where her husband had gone, feeling humble and anxious. When I finally saw my husband, I went from shock to tears of joy, to feeling reluctant when I watched him leave.
Every expression of emotion is heart-wrenching to watch, but this also just shows that Dong Jie's acting skills have not diminished.
It can be said that "Traveling with the Phoenix" has lived up to everyone's expectations and can be regarded as a new benchmark for domestic costume dramas.
