In recent years, ancient puppet dramas as a whole have shown a trend of "magic". The specific performance of
is mainly reflected in two aspects: firstly, the characters are set as gods and demons, and secondly, the structure of the story background is biased toward love myths.
Although there are high-quality fantasy ancient puppet dramas in this genre like "Legend of Sword and Fairy", " Flowers and Thousand Bones ", " Three Lives Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms ", there are also many overturned ones.
Is the fantasy puppet show really stuck in a bottleneck?
I don't think so. Last year, a movie " Sauvignon Blanc " was aired, which directly broke the doubt. On the day of its premiere,
reached the top in terms of popularity and ratings, ranking 8 times in a row.
Even the comment section was down, with viewers praising the show.
Unexpectedly, after a year, the second season of "Sauvignon Blanc" is finally here. The story of the second season of
follows the previous season.
Audiences who have read the original work know that the real highlight is in the second season.
talked about more than 30 episodes in the first season, just to pave the way for the second season.
And before the start of the second season, CCTV still issued articles of support as always.
In my opinion, there is quite a trend of "getting popular before broadcasting". The story of the first season of
mainly tells about the wilderness, where humans, gods, and demons live together, and the three kingdoms of Xiyan, Chenrong, and Haoling stand in harmony.
Ji Jiuyao (Xiaoyao), the king of Haoling who lives in the wilderness, has experienced a hundred years of hardship and has not only lost his identity, but also his appearance.
She was forced to settle in Qingshui Town, becoming Wen Xiaoliu with "nowhere to go, no one to rely on, and no way to protect herself."
Sun Xuanxuan, the king of Xiyan, who had been Xiaoyao's childhood sweetheart, went to Haoling Kingdom to be a hostage.
Even though he was living under someone else's roof, he traveled all over the wilderness to find Xiaoyao and came to Qingshui Town.
During the days in Qingshui Town, Wen Xiaoliu accidentally saved the dying Qingqiu Master Tu Shanjing, and the two gradually became more and more affectionate as they got along day and night.
Not only that, Wen Xiaoliu and the nine-headed demon Xiangliu Buda did not know each other, and they cherished each other and became close friends.
Later, Wen Xiaoliu and Xuan Xuan met. After many twists and turns, they finally recognized Xuan Xuan and resumed their identity as Wang Ji.
In the finale, Xuanxuan experienced a life and death crisis and finally ascended to the throne.
The story of the second season will revolve around the main line of Xuanxuan's secret love affair and his desire for the throne to dominate the world.
In this season, there will be many famous scenes.
For example, Xiaoyao helped Xuanxuan complete his great cause, Xiangliu died fighting for justice, and Xiaoyao and Tushanjing lived in seclusion...
From this point of view, the appeal of the second season has increased but not decreased. The potential to become a hit.
In my opinion, the attraction of the second season of "Sauvignon Blanc" remains unchanged.
First of all, she is still a "beauty in ancient costume".
I have to say that this is also the most eye-catching part of "Sauvignon Blanc".
For example, Yang Zi in the play has two faces, corresponding to two identities.
One is the dignified and majestic Xiling Jiu Yao, and the other is the market-oriented Wen Xiaoliu.
This sense of contrast is reflected in the appearance of a woman disguised as a man, which gives people a smart and natural feeling, which is very friendly and forms a sharp contrast with the image of the princess.
Another example is A Nian, played by Dai Luwa, which is very amazing.
As soon as she appeared, A Nian, wearing a veil, gave people a mysterious feeling of "beauty in ancient costume".
Who knows, the real A Nian is a child who has not grown up, and he is also a complete brother-controller.
Compared to Wen Xiaoliu played by Yang Zi, there is another sense of contrast.
Secondly, in addition to the female characters, the costumes in the play are also a major attraction.
For example, Xiang Liu, played by Tan Kenji , has white hair and white clothes, which is both fairy-like and evil.
Finally, there is the background setting of the entire story.
The Great Wilderness in the original work is an illusory background created based on a certain historical prototype.
Humans, gods, and demons live together, and the three kingdoms of Xiyan, Chenrong, and Haoling stand in harmony.
In this regard, one major element has always been implemented in the scene creation of the entire drama-reality.
It is said that the crew built Qingshui Town with an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and combined with the special effects in the later period, it has both traces of history and a magical atmosphere that is fascinating.
Of course, there will definitely be viewers who question, can " Sauvignon Blanc 2" connect the past and the next and truly restore the story in the original work?
After all, 39 episodes in the first episode are enough space, while the second season only has 23 episodes.
I think the audience’s concerns are not unreasonable.
Regarding this, I think there is no need to worry at all.
Because viewers who have read the original work should be able to feel that most of the story in the original work has been told in the first season.
Therefore, the second season is equivalent to the finale of the original work. 23 episodes are enough
but it is undeniable that the finale of the second season will definitely make some viewers unhappy.
Why do you say that?
Because there are too many CPs in the play, everyone has different views and favorites, but the ending can only satisfy one CP.
Therefore, it is definitely difficult to calm down.
Overall, "Sauvignon Blanc 2" will take another avenue for fantasy ancient puppet dramas.
As long as we get rid of the low-level aesthetics, break the cliche narrative, and adapt the adaptation to respect the original work, I believe that the second season will be a big hit.
