A large wave of domestic costume dramas are coming. Who is going to have trouble choosing?
Jing Tian's partner Zhang Linghe's "The Great Ming". From the trailer of the male and female protagonists falling in love and killing each other, you can already predict that this is a work that combines desserts and abuse points.
Two good-looking actors work together, they are in the same frame, and they are very eye-friendly.
Yang Zi and Li Xian star in "The Beauty of the Country", which is a drama with a female lead. It focuses on He Weifang, played by Yang Zi. It is a drama about women's inspirational transformation and growth.
But there is a saying. After seeing Yang Zi, Li Xian was cast in the second role after "Dear Beloved". The drama has not even aired yet, and he has already been cast.
But when it comes to which costume drama is the most popular, there is no doubt that it must be "The Legend of Tibetan Sea" starring Xiao Zhan .
This work has already sparked heated discussions on all platforms even before it was released online. Even CCTV personally named it to promote it.
is directed by a popular star, so it is naturally very popular, but what really makes people feel at ease is the main creator. When you see the director's name, you know that the ratings are stable.
One, Xiao Zhan plays the leading role, the story is eye-catching, and the appearance is stunning
It is not surprising at all that Xiao Zhan can star in "The Legend of Tibetan Sea".
Although there are several popular dramas released every year, the most anticipated ones are Xiao Zhan’s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Man", which has not yet been released, but has collaborated with famous directors, and this " "The Legend of Tibetan Sea".
The former is adapted from Jin Yong’s martial arts novel, and the popular IP alone has a huge audience.
Not only that, but also directed by director Tsui Hark, it is conceivable that it will attract a large number of viewers and contribute to the box office.
This "Legend of the Hidden Sea" is a costume drama that Xiao Zhan is familiar with, but it is different from his previous starring roles in " Jade Bones Remote ". The main focus is no longer the romance of the fairy tale, but the plot for revenge.
Zanghai, played by Xiao Zhan, is the son of Zheng Kuaiduo, the imperial eunuch of Dayong Kingdom. Because he witnessed the massacre of his family overnight, Zanghai who survived endured the study and rose up the court step by step by virtue of his construction skills and lateral skills.
The survivors of the annihilation of the family at the beginning of the collapse of the sky have become capable ministers who control the affairs of the court. The character setting of revenge and growth is exciting enough.
Xiao Zhan takes the lead in playing this role, and there is a lot of room for his acting skills to show off. I can't help but want to see his transformation.
Judging from the trailer, Xiao Zhan’s performance in this drama is also very surprising.
is not a complicated and gorgeous ancient costume, but a plain and clean clothes. Occasionally, he wears a red official uniform. He abandons the small bangs that make his face look small and the dragon beard that makes him look more fairy-like. Instead, he chooses to expose his forehead with bright light.
Even so, it still does not affect Xiao Zhan’s temperament. This is the true chosen ancient, and he deserves his appearance!
Sure enough, some actors were ridiculed for being ugly men and women in ancient costumes. It has nothing to do with the clothes. The key is to look at the appearance!
Second, the supporting roles are interesting, and they are all carefully selected.
The choice of Xiao Zhan as the male lead is surprising enough, but I did not expect that the supporting roles in this drama are all very thoughtful and surprising.
ranked first, Zhong Hanliang .
Zhong Hanliang, who has finally stopped playing young in the young scene, plays Xiao Zhan’s father in the play this time.
Judging from the plot settings, the two have no direct rivalry. Kuai Duo, played by Chung Han-liang, will receive a box lunch soon after the opening, but he dies because of an injustice. This is also a very memorable character.
The bearded Zhong Hanliang does not look very old-fashioned, but still retains a bit of the gentleness of a white-faced young boy.
When he was young, Zhong Hanliang was indeed a god in ancient costume.
ranked second, Qiao Zhenyu .
Qiao Zhenyu can also be called a male god in ancient costume. When he was young, his appearance was stunning. As he grows older, even though his face looks a little older, his three-dimensional facial features are still handsome.
It’s just that the Prince Yongrong he plays this time has a bit more of a mix of good and evil, making it hard to tell whether it’s good or bad. It feels right for Qiao Zhenyu to play the role.
ranked third, Chen Yanxi .
The choice of supporting actress is both good-looking and good in acting.
When I saw Michelle Chen’s costume look, my first impression was that it was gentle and eye-catching. I thought that Michelle Chen, who had a small round face, would look like the “Xiao Long Bao Fairy” after dressing up in costume.
I didn’t expect that in this drama, she is so beautiful that even the broken hair on her forehead is very flexible.
Michelle Chen, who has a nice face, is very likely to play a positive image. If she plays a villain, it will be even more surprising. The stronger the contrast, the better it will look.
is fourth, Bai Bing.
Just looking at Bai Bing in red in the trailer is so beautiful that one is speechless.
The role she plays in the sixth grade has a sense of immediateness as an oiran. When she was young and her partner Hu Ge acted in " myth ", Bai Bing's portrayal of the most beautiful woman is already very convincing.
As he grows older, Bai Bing's beauty is still eye-catching.
ranks fifth, Zhang Guoqiang .
Actor Zhang Guoqiang portrays the role of the emperor in the play.
Although before this, most of the roles he played were as soldiers, or as honest and honest people, wearing yellow robes, Zhang Guoqiang's sense of majesty is not weak at all.
This role is of vital importance in the play. It must not only show the ruthlessness and selfishness of the emperor, but also portray the clear side of right and wrong when Zanghai reveals the truth.
is another character whose good and evil are difficult to distinguish, and it is quite difficult to portray.
Third, directed by the director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the phenomenon-level blockbuster is scheduled
Looking at the past in the Chinese drama market, there are very few costume dramas that can be called classics and can be watched again and again by the audience.
But there is one work that is recognized by the audience as the ceiling - "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
And this "The Legend of Zhen Huan" with a reputation score of 9.4 is from the director of "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" Zheng Xiaolong . When making this work, Zheng Xiaolong was worried that the audience would not like to watch it. Now it seems that not only I love watching it, and it’s hard to beat the photos he took.
After "The Legend of Zhen Huan", domestic palace dramas more or less have the shadow of this work, some copying the plot, and some copying the characters.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Xiaolong has supported the market of costume palace fighting dramas with one drama.
once again directed a costume drama, and it was directed by Zheng Xiaolong himself. You can imagine how valuable this "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" is.
I have a hunch that Zheng Xiaolong’s "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" will become the pinnacle of Machiavellian dramas.
Conclusion
It is really difficult to stand out among a bunch of works with ancient costume themes.
This "Legend of the Tibetan Sea" broke the rules in three directions, so it was given high expectations by everyone before it was broadcast.
First, choose the right actor.
In addition to choosing the right male lead Xiao Zhan, the heroine Zhang Jingyi is also a well-known young powerhouse, while actors such as Huang Jue, Yu Nan, Zhong Hanliang, and Qiao Zhenyu are here to help the quality of the series.
Second, the plot is interesting.
The audience has seen a lot of revenge dramas, but there are not many that do not rely on the protagonist to cheat and have online logic. This "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" is a drama that focuses on intrigues. The meticulous and delicate setting will It’s a plus point for this drama.
Third, the creative team.
Zheng Xiaolong guarantees the quality of the work, and the original author serves as the screenwriter to ensure the authenticity, which undoubtedly adds to the quality.
Based on these factors, it is not a problem for "The Legend of Zanghai" to become a classic.
So, are you optimistic about Xiao Zhan’s new work?
