The ancient puppet market has always been active, and this year alone there have been many popular ancient puppet dramas. For example, " and Fengxing ", " Fox Demon Little Matchmaker " and " Mo Yuyunjian " have all achieved good results in broadcasting.
tends to be more tolerant to the audience of this type of drama. The plot does not have to be particularly outstanding, but the cp sense of the male and female protagonists must be online. Even compared to the acting skills of the actors, handsome men and beautiful women are the primary condition for this type of drama.
It is precisely because of this that actors with popular ancient puppets often attract the attention of many netizens whenever they have new dramas of the same type.
"Phoenix Stage" is a typical example. Because of the support of Ren Jialun and Peng Xiaoran , the TV series has become a hot topic, and even the official account of CCTV has used a topic to promote "Phoenix Stage".
takes a closer look at the trailer of "Phoenix Stage". This drama indeed shows the level of a hit dark horse drama.
fell in love and killed each other, and "Phoenix Stage" staged a heart-wrenching drama
Peng Xiaoran's "East Palace" made the audience cry, and Ren Jialun's "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" made the audience's heart, liver, spleen and lungs ache. The "Phoenix Stage" starring the two protagonists is another costume drama that is "abusive to the heart and body".
The heroine Ling Cangcang (played by Peng Xiaoran) is heroic and courageous, and has strong martial arts skills. The male protagonist Bai Chifan (played by Ren Jialun) met Ling Cangcang when they were traveling in the world. The two hit it off and they are a perfect match for each other.
But unexpectedly, both of them have hidden identities.
Ling Cangcang is actually the daughter of the chief minister, and Bai Chifan is the young emperor Xiao Huan. Driven by fate, the two still could not escape the shackles of their identities. The pure and simple love between children in the world was eventually brought to the court, and their love was also tested at all levels in the power struggle.
In the plot, if Xiao Huan wants to stabilize his position, he must kill the heroine's father.
Ling Cangcang, who became the queen, had to make a choice between her husband and her father. What a struggle and contradiction between love and family affection.
The fairy love between sweet pets is enough in Jianghu chapter, but the plot trend of "Phoenix Stage" is from sweet to sad. The main theme is that how sweet it is in the early stage, how cruel it will be in the later stage.
In terms of the main plot line and character arcs, this drama has many interesting points and is full of explosive points. The important thing is that there is a more profound proposition. Most of the ancient puppets are actually in love, regardless of the world, how many lifetimes, anyway, it is love to the death.
But "Phoenix Stage" is different. This drama has intrigues, tests of humanity, chivalry, and the skills of emperors. The plot is impressive, and the cast must also be effective.
Ren Jialun has returned to his comfort zone, and the heroine he partners with is still a recognized goddess
Those who are familiar with Ren Jialun must be familiar with his works, but in fact, Ren Jialun's most popular works only have two, one is the beautiful " Under the Brocade", One is "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu". Both dramas are of the ancient puppet genre, but they have one thing in common.
The male protagonists are all cold-faced and ruthless characters, but once they step out of this comfort zone, Ren Jialun's acting skills and appearance are not so attractive.
In modern dramas, Ren Jialun's image has declined without his costume. Even in costume dramas, Ren Jialun is not suitable for portraying too extroverted characters.
But this time, the male protagonist Xiao Huan in "Phoenix Stage" allowed Ren Jialun to return to the field he is best at. Xiao Huan is a young emperor. Rather than beauty, great achievements are his mission. In the trailer, Ren Jialun once again had a classic hair style, and wore an ancient costume with suppressed colors and grand embroidery, full of imperial style.
Combining past classic dramas and Ren Jialun's good looks, the male protagonist of "Phoenix Stage" is basically stable.
And this time the heroine who partners with Ren Jialun is a recognized goddess.Actress Peng Xiaoran is the best candidate for a beauty in ancient costume. Her beauty has a gentle and relaxed side, smooth face shape, and exquisite facial features. With the blessing of beauty, Peng Xiaoran's acting skills are definitely worthy of trust.
In "East Palace", Peng Xiaoran had several heartbreaking crying scenes. Her red costume was quite out of the ordinary, and her crying scenes were also full of empathy.
In the trailer of the TV series "Phoenix Stage", Peng Xiaoran also showed his emotional appeal. In the picture, broken hair is falling, and the whole face has a heart-breaking feeling of brokenness. Her skin is fair and delicate, but the whiteness of her skin makes her scarlet eyes look more regretful and hateful.
is also a crying scene. Peng Xiaoran's crying scenes really don't have the slightest bit of tenderness or lovability. Her soft and gentle face can always show her strong feminine charm.
Not only that, Ren Jialun and Peng Xiaoran are also very compatible. Their appearance and style are full of ancient style, and the pictures in the same frame are also quite eye-catching. In terms of handsome men and beautiful women, "Phoenix Stage" is definitely a perfect match.
Moreover, there are also old acquaintances in the supporting roles in "Phoenix Stage".
Actor Chen Yihan , although not popular, but her appearance and acting skills are very good. She previously played the villain in "The Star", but she still can't hide her good foundation of being a natural heroine.
If Peng Xiaoran's advantages were not obvious enough, I would really be afraid that Chen Yihan would suppress the halo of the heroine. And this time, the character created by Chen Yihan in "Phoenix Stage" is not only a villain, but also a crazy and insane villain.
In terms of character tension, Chen Yihan can definitely make the audience shine.
Dramas like "Phoenix Stage" are supported by popular actors, but they also need powerful actors to help out. Teacher Gao Shuguang, who has gained a foothold in various mainstream themes with his acting skills, also participated in this drama.
In the play, Gao Shuguang plays the role of Ling Xuefeng. Just by looking at his name, you can tell that he is the father of the heroine who the hero in the play wants to be cut into pieces. In the direction of the plot, although Ling Xuefeng is a courtier, he is powerful and ambitious. He competes with the male protagonist for power and makes good use of people's hearts.
As for how Gao Shuguang plays the role of a father and villain, it will be revealed when the feature film is released.
Judging from the cast, the intentions of "Phoenix Stage" are self-evident, and as a period drama, it is rare to see a costume drama with suitable casting and online plot highlights like this drama.
But if "Phoenix Stage" wants to become a hit, it needs more conditions.
First of all, both male and female protagonists should have their own career lines. The male protagonist’s imperial skills should not be hesitant because of the female protagonist. And the female protagonist cannot favor the male protagonist just because her father is opposed to the male protagonist.
Otherwise, "Phoenix Stage" will turn into a bloody idol drama, with special identities, and the tension between the characters will not be able to act even if they are the best actor or the best actress.
Secondly, costume sadistic dramas are actually not as popular as sweet dramas on the market, but once the main style is determined, you have to stick to it. If you are sadistic and forced to have a happy ending, you can directly book the unfinished drama.
