Which theme is most likely to be a hit in 2024?
In my opinion, it is definitely the "traffic password" of Chinese dramas such as costume dramas.
From " Celebrating More Than Years 2" to " Mo Yuyunjian ", and then to the currently popular "Yan Xin Ji" and " Hua Nian ", it can be said that this year's Chinese drama market is all about ancient costumes The world of drama.
There are many dramas in the upcoming film list.
For example, Ren Jialun and Li Landi star in " The Far Away ", which uses the male protagonist's revenge as the perspective to unfold a love-hate relationship that is related to the survival of the country. The trailer alone is full of tension, and people can't help but look forward to it. The arrival of the feature film.
There is also "Yun Xiu Xing" starring Li Yitong and Zeng Shunxi. It tells a great love story between a poor lady from a famous family and King Bai Qiehei who support each other and jointly build a prosperous and prosperous era.
There are countless handsome men and beautiful women in the play, which will definitely feast the eyes of the audience.
However, the above two dramas have not yet been finalized, but another new work has been released first.
4 episodes of the costume emotional drama " Pearl and Jade on the Side " is coming with great force. It scored a high score of 8.7 at the beginning, which can be said to be extraordinary.
At the same time, Douban’s word-of-mouth is freshly released. Looking at Yishui’s five-star praise, I want to say: costume dramas are becoming popular again!
All members have eye bags, the plot is too happy
"Besides" tells the story of the quirky Shan Dandan (played by Xu Lu) who wants to become a jade recommender. An accident brings her into contact with the second-generation jade merchant who is not doing his job properly. Pei Pei (played by Bi Wenjun) is someone you don’t know until you fight him.
With the help of Pei Pei's mother (played by Ma Rui), Shan Shan and Pei Pei began a frantic life as a maid and young master.
Ancient costume, business war, romance, comedy, it can be seen that this drama brings together several popular elements at the moment, but is it good to watch? You still have to watch the plot, the two highlights will make people fall straight into the trap!
The first highlight: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
The story opens with Shan Shan selling jade in Huamanlou, using the name of the late Mr. Pei, and cooperating with the girls in the building to sell second-rate jade.
The male protagonist Pei Pei came after hearing the news and wanted to expose Shan Shan's falsehood. He used the excuse of buying the other jade to make things difficult for Shan Shan.
However, the situation changed, and Pei Peigang was defeated step by step in the "killing" of Shan Duan, and his mother came to the door.
Seeing Pei Pei hurriedly wanting to leave Huamanlou, Shan Shan directly turned against the guest, grabbed the other party's sleeve and did not let go, and acted coquettishly, forcing Pei Pei to buy his inferior jade for fifty taels.
As for the "weak" Pei Pei, who was in an urgent situation and couldn't get away from "Hercules", he closed his eyes and exchanged fifty taels for his personal freedom.
As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting. The male and female protagonists are better at pretending than the other. There is a lot of laughter between you and me, and the encounter between the two begins from this.
The second highlight is that the sister who takes revenge teaches the "weak chicken" male protagonist a lesson.
While other costume dramas are busy pitting the heroine against the heroine to fight, the new drama "Jade on the Side" shows an extraordinary pattern.
The heroine's sister Shan Shuangshuang (played by Li Mengmeng) came to work in the Su family's jade shop in order to investigate the death of her parents. After learning that her sister had gone to work in the Pei family, a rival of the Su family, she did not appear to be betrayed. "Blackening".
When they saw Pei Pei embarrassing his sister, they followed Pei Pei to the market without saying much, and shot out a few pebbles, making him shine on the street.
Looking at Pei Pei's embarrassed kneeling figure, Shan Shuangshuang sneered, breathed a sigh of relief, and left feeling refreshed.
Good guys, the domestic drama finally left the drama of sisters falling in love with the same man and eventually turning against each other.
It’s really funny to see the heroine’s sister take revenge on the spot and the hero’s confused look.
It can be said that the drama "Pearl on the Side" is earthy and sweet. Although the plot is a bit nonsensical, the drama still carefully lays out various suspense waiting for the audience to explore.
Moreover, although the male and female protagonists are happy enemies who have never known each other, their emotional line is natural and not artificial. The laughter and banter are mixed with traces of sourness and abuse, which will definitely make people unable to stop following it.
A strong cast of actors and actresses, the characters are too vivid
In fact, the overall cast of "Jade on the Side" is not very strong, and the actors are not very popular, but their strength can definitely carry the show.
ranked first, Xu Lu.
Xu Lu is an underestimated young girl. Her acting skills have been reflected in dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and " Feng Sheng ", but it is a pity that she has never become popular.
Fortunately, her chance came this time! In
's new drama, Xu Lu, played by Xu Lu, has an elf and funny temperament in her single appearance. Looking at her sister who is carefully admonishing her, she smiles and arches her eyebrows, her eyes are full of joy and touch, and she looks charming and charming.
When quarreling with Pei Pei, his expressions were very smooth, with a smile on his face all the time, and his expressions were sincere when he said words that would make people angry. His acting skills were natural, delicate, and so vivid.
ranked second, Bi Wenjun.
Traffic niche Bi Wenjun has made remarkable performances in dramas such as "Nine Skies Warm Night" and " Stranger Under ". In
's new drama, the character Pei Pei he plays has a funny aura.
When Pei Pei grabbed the auction item he wanted at the auction, Pei Pei looked at the other party with a triumphant smile, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
When he learned that he had misunderstood Shan Dandan, Pei Pei stood at the door of the other party's room, listening to the coughing sounds coming from inside, with imperceptible distress and guilt on his face. Bi Wenjun's acting skills, Not vulgar.
The third place is Li Mengmeng.
Li Mengmeng’s single and double roles in the play are absolutely amazing.
In the play, both couples dare to love and hate, and they will avenge on the spot, and they are full of love when facing their sister.
When they learned that the Pei family was going to attend the Jade Fighting Competition alone, Shan and Shuangshuang looked at their happy sister with doubts on their faces and uncontrollable worry in their eyes, showing off the demeanor of an elegant eldest sister just right.
It seems that after this drama, Li Mengmeng will be able to get out of the industry with her strength.
ranked fourth, Ma Rui.
Ma Rui, a powerful actress with a professional background, has given wonderful performances in dramas such as "Love in the Rain" and "三生三世十里桃花". In
's new drama, Mrs. Pei, whom she plays, is definitely a rare "good mother-in-law" in Chinese dramas.
Facing the eloquent Shan Shan, Mrs. Pei's face was full of admiration, with joy in the corners of her eyes and brows. She portrayed the image of a kind and talkative old lady in a profound way, which was so dramatic.
ranks fifth, taking the lead.
Dai Chao, who was born in a major, has shown impressive acting skills in dramas such as "Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds" and " Little Farewell ". In
's new drama, the Su Yu he plays is currently the biggest villain of the drama. When
first appeared on the scene, Su Yu sneered at Pei Pei, the disdain in his eyes was clear, but he still carried the demeanor of a young man from aristocratic family, which made people grit their teeth.
So far, Dai Chao has grasped the character's personality traits just right. Although there are not many scenes, the character is stable and the strength is good.
In addition, actors such as Geng Yizheng, Li Changru, Xu Siyu all have very eye-catching performances in the play, and together they have created a lively group of characters in this play, which is really wonderful.
Conclusion
This year’s summer costume drama competition is fierce, but in my opinion, it is “big thunder but little rain”.
Although there are popular dramas such as "Yan Xin Ji" and "Hua Hua Nian", they are still far from the level of big hits.
Although "Jade on the Side" is not a perfect work, for example, the logic is not interesting, the cast is average, etc.
But in this drama, I still see hope that costume dramas can break through.
First, the nonsensical style breaks the traditional costume routine.
There are too many classic ancient puppet dramas, so innovation is the key to breaking through the Chinese drama industry. And this new work brings out the essence of nonsensical style, making it hilarious throughout and rich in attractions.
Second, the jade business war, the group portraits are clear.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. This drama has created a large number of characters with different and distinctive personalities. In a joyful and funny atmosphere, it takes the audience to experience the wonderful business wars. It's a real taste!
The show is currently being updated. The amount of 24 people is moderate, there are no peeing spots throughout the whole process, it is highly watchable, and it is definitely worth watching.
