Zhao Liying's new drama "Walking with the Phoenix" has finally unveiled its mystery, and the popularity of it exceeded 23,000 in the first 17 minutes, making her the first actor to have more than 10,000 episodes on all three platforms.
In addition, the overall setting of the story is also very gratifying:
opens with a grand scene, and then the style of painting changes to a world of fireworks.
Moreover, the narrative pace is quite fast, and it is also interspersed with stories such as the general's return to the soul, which also makes the emotional description moving - whether it is big love or small love, the audience can get what they want.
But after all, a work is not a "single fight" between the male and female protagonists. The supporting actors must also be strong in order to support the flesh-and-blood story structure.
Therefore, in addition to Zhao Liying, the director's intentions can also be seen in the selection of actresses:
Here are gathered "first-generation goddesses" such as Zeng Li and Dong Jie, and also boldly used "alternative actresses" such as Xiao La, and also With rising stars such as Xuan Lu and Huang Cancan, it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.
Let’s take a look today. Except for the heroine Zhao Liying, how are the other supporting actresses doing? Do their looks and acting skills pass the test?
. Zeng Li: Chic and sharp
Zeng Li, who was previously known as "the most famous actress in Chinese opera, it takes 200 years to produce one". Her appearance has been controversial for many years. Some people think that she has been tepid for many years, and her beauty has not been spread among the people. So "evil".
But in fact, the reason why she is not popular may be related to the fact that the "Tsing Yi" market around the time of her debut was suddenly occupied by "Hua Dan". In addition, she has a Buddhist personality and does not have much desire to become famous.
Speaking of appearance, Zeng Li is indeed very superior, and it is said that she is not very photogenic. In reality, she is really amazing.
However, she has a mature appearance. When she played the role of "Mei Sanniang" 20 years ago, she did not look "white, thin and young", but she is extremely malleable and belongs to the popular image of "crazy beauty". It is a pity that she was born Untimely.
In "Walking with the Phoenix" 20 years later, Shen Muyue, the master of the spirit world played by Zeng Li, is the master of the heroine Shen Li and a mother-like existence. She raised her up, taught her martial arts, Give her the right...
But because of the responsibility, Shen Muyue had to personally dismantle the CP of the male and female protagonists. She is a cold-faced and warm-hearted female goddess of war.
When she appeared, she had the temperament of a strong woman, strong, combative, stern, and bottom-line, which was very different from the gentle image she had previously interpreted.
In terms of appearance, the 48-year-old Zeng Li still shows a dignified and elegant classical beauty because of her superior bone structure. Time has never failed to defeat a beauty - this is reflected in her face.
2. Li Jiaqi: Unique and festive
The second female lead, Oran, is played by comedian Li Jiaqi, whose original stage name is Lame Yoko.
As we all know, she became famous by shooting short videos. Her popular catchphrase before was "spicy on the eyes" - and it is completely different from the currently popular "white, thin and young" style. Li Jiaqi's new aesthetic is also a highlight.
After transforming into an actress, she has acted in many costume dramas. However, she has also been boycotted by netizens because a certain costume drama was too moralistic.
But her acting skills are not bad. Previously, because she recorded "Actors Please Take Your Place" and highly restored the clips of "Shoplifters", she was encouraged by her mentor Er Dongsheng: "You have a chance to be a movie queen."
"With In "Feng Xing", Li Jiaqi played the love rival of the heroine Shen Li, the princess of heaven Youlan. Although it is very different from the imagined image of the princess, her appearance added a touch of comedy to the work.
3.
She died in childbirth, so she only appears in the memory filter in the whole drama.
Although Xuan Lu's appearance is not amazing, she does fit in the costume style very well. The image of a lady she played before is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In her early years, she once shocked many fans because of her role as the first dancer Ranmasanti in "Legend of Dance". She danced on the tree?
Xuan Lu in "Traveling with the Phoenix" doesn't have many scenes, but every time she appears, she gives people a touching sense of fragmentation, which is still very eye-catching.
4. Dong Jie: bitter and gentle
Dong Jie, who has always been loved by the audience for her "first-generation little white flower" persona, although she is already 44 years old and has been questioned by the "aging beauty" in recent years, she still has a good performance in "Hong Kong Feng" "The Yun Niang played in "Yun Niang" easily made the audience burst into tears with just a few minutes of scenes.
This is a distressing image of an infatuated woman who has been waiting for her husband, who has long since died on the battlefield, to come home.
Her acting skills are enough to make people sympathize, and a few eye scenes vividly portray the sadness of "poor Wuding Riverside Bone, just like a girl in a spring boudoir's dream".
The crying scene was even more full of brokenness, making the overall feeling of this scene full of sadness and sadness.
5. Wang Yiyao: Charming and enchanting
Different from all the above female characters, the golden lady played by Wang Yiyao is a "demon snake" image.
This character is also very strong, but she actually fell in love with a Taoist priest, and then she spent 20 years pursuing her hard. In order to make the Taoist understand her feelings, she even met the heroine Shen Lihua who was transformed into a handsome young man...
The story sounds very touching, and Wang Yiyao, who debuted under the label of "Little Kelly Chen", has excellent acting skills, and she interprets the character in a enchanting and charming way.
6. Huang Yi: Smart and innocent
Xiao He in the original work "Traveling with the Phoenix" is a green snake demon spirit who fell in love with King Rui Gu Chengjin, but was used by him to save his wife, Princess Ye Shi, and finally had to sacrifice himself to be resurrected. Ye Shi.
After that, the fate of the three people was tightly tied.
However, the scene of the three reincarnations in the drama version has been changed: Xiao He became Shi Luo, Ye Shi reincarnated as Jing Xi, and King Rui became Jing Yan.
But in this life, Xiao He's fate is still not to be loved, so he tried to become a black man.
It can be said that although the roles of Jing Xi and Xiao He are different, they are both quite complex. However, they were played vividly by Huang Yi, a new actress born in 1997, and were even called "ready to serve" by many drama fans.
She only debuted in 2018, but she looks amazing:
has a square facial contour, which gives her a male-like appearance, but her big, round eyes make her smart and cute, and her nose and mouth add to the overall face. It has a juvenile feel and is extremely malleable. It can be either salty or sweet.
Huang Yi's ancient costume style in "Traveling with the Phoenix" is also really remarkable, as fresh and unforgettable as a hibiscus emerging from water.
7.Hu Dandan: alienated and cold
The two roles of Ye Shi and Shi Luo, who have emotional entanglements with Xiao He and Gu Chengjin, are played by actress Hu Dandan.
Hu Dandan is 33 years old this year. She has been in the industry for many years but has never been tepid. Last year, she played the lead role of the heroine Nan Si in the online drama "The Love of the Concubine".
Her appearance is more classical, and she looks a bit like Meng Ziyi at first glance. She has also acted in popular costume dramas such as "The Son-in-Law" and "Everyday Life", but they were all supporting roles.
In "Traveling with the Phoenix", Hu Dandan takes a cold approach, which is in sharp contrast with Huang Yi, who plays Xiao He. The two women have their own merits, which also makes the love story of the three people full of a sense of fate.
8. Lucy Chen: cute and innocent
28-year-old newcomer actress Chen Lucy plays the role of "Rou Ya", the maid of the heroine Shen Li in the play. She has a straightforward personality, cute and innocent character, and brings a sense of joy every time she appears, which is very eye-catching.
Lucy Chen, who has been in the industry for 6 years, does not have a high sense of presence in the industry, but in fact she also played the heroine Qian Duoduo in the online drama "The Concubine", but not many people paid attention to her.
9. Huang Cancan, Tan Yanyan, Wang Miao
Another surprise in the drama is the actress Huang Cancan.
She debuted as the "Beauty of Wuhan University" and became popular on the Internet for her innocent looks and atmospheric photos.
Moreover, Huang Cancan has already attracted attention last summer for her role as the female villain Fang Feng Ying in "Sauvignon Blanc".
However, she originally had a high starting point, but she has been questioned about her appearance, and her real life pictures are considered to be "photo scams".
However, she still entered the film and television industry and filmed many film and television works. She also played the role of "Yin Xia Mo" before the big S Zeng Zhuyu in the love movie "Bubble Summer", which was ridiculed by the crowd.
Until last year, Huang Cancan finally had a sense of existence because of her role in the bad girl "Fangfeng Yiying".
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as she turned around, she was back to where she started, playing soy sauce in "Traveling with the Phoenix", playing very few scenes as the Mingshu Fairy, and having no sense of existence at all.
Apart from Fairy Mingshu, Tan Yanyan who plays Fairy Baoqin and Wang Miao who plays Fairy Fuhua are not very famous and have little recognition.
10. Wang Ziwei: Dream Linkage
At the beginning of "Traveling with the Phoenix", everyone immediately recognized the supporting actress Wang Ziwei. She had collaborated with Zhao Liying in the 2018 costume drama "Do You Know Should It Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin".
At that time, she played the role of the other party's maid "Xiao Tao", but she did not expect to play a role with the same name in "Walking with the Phoenix" 6 years later.
It’s just that this Xiaotao “” has fewer roles. She is the “snail girl” who has a crush on the male protagonist Xingyun. She comes to help him clean the room every day while he is out, working hard and without complaint, but she is careless and ruthless.
It is reported that Wang Ziwei was invited to play this role by the protagonist Zhao Liying. As the producer of "Walking with the Phoenix", she felt that the other party's performance was smart and natural, so she asked her to make a guest appearance.
And the two "little peaches" appearing next to Zhao Liying in different time and space and different dramas can be regarded as a dream linkage.
It is reported that in order to play this role that only lasted a few minutes, Wang Ziwei deliberately gained weight to 130 pounds, just to better restore the image of the "ordinary girl next door".
11. Han Lujin, Hou Jiayin, Peng Biyao
In addition, many female characters with different personalities will appear in the later plot of "Traveling with the Phoenix", such as Han Lujin who plays the role of the Queen.
She made her debut in 2018 with the recognition of Li Shaohong. Her most representative work is the role of Acorus in the popular "The Star" which was broadcast a few years later.
Hou Jiayin, who plays Yingge, is a newcomer. She has never acted in any drama before and has little information, but she looks very beautiful and has an unconventional beauty.
Peng Biyao, who also made a cameo appearance as Mrs. Zixia, has been in the industry for 8 years. In her early years, she acted mostly in TV movies, so she never had a sense of presence.
It was not until the beginning of 2021 that Peng Biyao received TV series such as "And You Just Shine".
Especially in last year's hit "Where the Wind Goes", her role as a pigeon with a bright smile was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In "Lotus Tower", He Xiaolan, who had a romantic relationship with Shan Gudao, and Fang Xiaobao's mother, was played by Peng Biyao.
The above are the more than ten female supporting roles in "Traveling with the Phoenix". It can be said that each role is very distinctive, and no matter how big or small the role is, they are worthy of careful consideration.
Which image do you think is the most impressive after watching it?
