After Liu Yifei's drama " The Story of Rose " ended, many viewers suddenly fell into drama drought again.
And the major platforms did not keep the audience waiting for too long, and launched several major dramas at once.
For example, the Hong Kong drama "Anti-Black Heroes" is quite worth watching.
also has the ancient puppet "年华年" which has just been aired. The audience's expectations before the airing were also quite high.
I have talked about the drama "Anti-Black Hero" several times, so this time I will talk about the ancient puppet "Hua Nian" which has just been aired.
To be honest, after watching 3 episodes of "The Years of Life", I felt like I had a lump in my throat and I couldn't help but feel unhappy!
What is the specific quality of this drama? Please listen to me slowly!
1, Zhao Jinmai is a child himself, but he deliberately pretends to be an adult in this drama?
In fact, Zhao Jinmai gave me the impression that she is the little girl in " begins ".
is a little girl herself, but at the beginning of "The Year of the Flower", she was actually asked to play a role that sounds very powerful at first glance like the eldest princess.
What makes me unable to watch directly is what the eldest princess played by Zhao Jinmai said before she died: Pei Wenxuan and I have been fighting for twenty years.
The eldest princess and Pei Wenxuan got married when they were 18 years old. After fighting for 20 years, they are not 38 years old.
But look at Zhao Jinmai's face again. There is no trace of age at all, and he doesn't look like a middle-aged man at all.
Especially when Zhao Jinmai said this line, it gave people the feeling that he was just reciting the lines, without aura or momentum.
It can be said that Zhao Jinmai's interpretation of the eldest princess has failed with just this one shot.
What's more, the audience has just watched Li Xiaoran play the role of the eldest princess in " Qing Yu Nian 2".
is also the eldest princess and a powerful minister. The eldest princess played by Li Xiaoran is domineering and has a sense of coercion when she opens her mouth.
But the eldest princess played by Zhao Jinmai is just a child imitating adults to play house, but she has no aura or momentum.
Moreover, the director did not consider the issue of age when it comes to makeup, which is even less of a point.
So, just based on Zhao Jinmai’s character, this drama is a bit eye-catching.
As for the male protagonist Zhang Linghe , my only personal feeling is that it is "drama".
Especially the opening scene where Prime Minister Pei makes a domineering appearance.
Although there are countless soldiers behind Xiang Pei, he still walks with dignity.
But his facial expressions of emotion are a bit dull and unexperienced.
Whose prime minister, who is inferior to one person but has more than ten thousand people, would appear to be so devoid of government and scheming?
The problem is not Zhang Linghe’s acting skills, but the director didn’t choose the right person when he chose the actor.
is too young.
As the eldest princess, a little girl of Zhao Jinmai's age should not be allowed to play the role. Zhao Jinmai himself has a student face and cannot support the role of the eldest princess, a powerful official in a family.
As for Zhang Linghe, the same is true.
It's very suitable for him to play a young nobleman, but to have him play a powerful prime minister is a bit of a drama in itself.
After all, this is a rebirth drama. If the middle-aged eldest princess and Prime Minister Pei are played by old actors, it will actually arouse the audience's interest more.
So, this "Hua Hua Nian" is actually a bit disappointing from the beginning.
2, the plot is old-fashioned and feels like an assembly line!
Except for the inappropriate choice of actors.
The plot design of "The Year of the Flower" is indeed too old-fashioned. In the beginning of
, two people are hostile to each other and both are killed.
After her rebirth, the eldest princess returned to 18 years old. After she had the memories of her previous life, she chose to avoid Prime Minister Pei and start a new life.
But in this new life, the eldest princess slowly discovered that the truth was not what she thought in the previous life.
They were enemies in the last life, but in this life they slowly got closer, understood each other, and became best friends.
Later, they slowly got closer and became lovers who stayed together for a lifetime.
This old-fashioned plot of rebirth has actually been seen in "Ningan Like a Dream".
Moreover, Zhang Linghe has already performed this old-fashioned plot once, and this time Zhang Linghe repeated a similar plot again.
I wonder if he himself would find the acting boring?
Anyway, as a viewer, I cannot accept that all ancient puppets play this old-fashioned rebirth plot. It does feel a bit like an assembly line.
The last thing I want to say is that the original novel "The Eldest Princess" adapted from this TV series is not very exciting in terms of plot design. The novel's reputation is average, and the space for plot adaptation is even more average.
It can be said that this TV series is indeed a bit difficult.
I personally give this drama a failing grade. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. There may still be viewers who like to watch this kind of drama. I hope everyone will tell me what they think of this series after watching it!
