"Eight Mysteries" is refreshing and refreshing, "Heaven and Earth" are full of surprises
"The Secret Stories of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" by "Conquering the Demons" "The Death of Wu Zuo", "Snowstorm Mojiadian", "Thousands of Chongdu", "Tongtian Rhinoceros", "Yunding Zui", "Letter from Shangxianfang" and "The Provider" are composed of eight unit stories, starting from the "Devil King Murder Case" in Chang'an In the story, the protagonist is demoted and travels westward to solve an unsolved case. From this, a beautiful picture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty slowly unfolds. Screenwriter Wei Fenghua once explained that "The essence of "The Journey to the West" is a western legend, a suspenseful version of Journey to the West."
"Conquering the Demon" ostensibly tells the story of the devil in the mural who escapes from the wall many times. If you look closely at a murder mystery, you may learn how the "finishing touch" can be used in reverse, and you can get a glimpse of the muralist's ultimate pursuit; "The Death of Wu Zuo" allows the audience to see the secrets of "a group of suspects" in history. The dilemma and inheritance of the work; after the trailer of "Fengxue Mojiadian" was released, countless netizens praised it as an upgraded version of "Gantangyi" ("Gantangyi" is a very popular unit case in "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty") , the level of horror can be seen to be very strange; "Thousands of Crossings" uses powerful visual effects to weave the sky, deep sea, and giant beasts into desires, which is refreshing; "Yunding Zui" reveals the mystery of "missing people" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty The truth behind the case also reveals some people’s obsession with immortality and gives people a warning; "Tongtian Rhinoceros" seems to be about conspiracy and love, but in fact it is inextricably linked to the rise and fall of the dynasty; "Letter from Shangxianfang" It uses a strange and delicate way to powerfully demonstrate the power of women's mutual help, but the ending is very sad; the story of "The Provider" is even more magical, with a child's perspective fighting against vulgar customs, and the Dunhuang scenery is shocking.
In addition, the demon king and his mount, the astonishingly destructive Babel Rhinoceros, the ferocious beasts in the cemetery, the deep-sea hibernators and other behemoths that can go up to the sky and into the earth have already appeared in the trailer; the bustling Chang'an streets, the weird The underground Vajra Temple, the creepy and peeping Chang'an Ghost Market, and the snowy Mojia Store. These scenes combined with the story all have the effect of relieving the heat and cooling down.
Yang Xuwen and Yang Zhigang lead the return of the original cast. Yue Lina, Liu Zhiyang, Yu Yi, and Xiao Yin reunite after the "pendulum"
The "Tang Gui Detective Team" composed of Lu Lingfeng, Su Wuming, Pei Xijun, Fei Jishi, and Cherry is in " "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories: Journey to the West" are all back. What is worth paying attention to in this season is the relationship between these people - it will be more "testing the heart".The relationship between Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming will be in an unprecedented crisis with the undercurrent in Chang'an City. How the two of them will investigate the case while repairing the "broken" trust on the difficult journey westward is really affecting people's hearts; Lu Lingfeng and the princess will not follow the conventional route of "deep love between mother and son" or "antagonism between mother and son". They will both shoulder their own unshirkable responsibilities and do their best to protect each other.
Yu Yi will play the special role of Qin Xiaobai, the first muralist of the Tang Dynasty. He is commissioned by the princess (played by Yue Lina) to create murals, which leads to the first unsolved case. At the same time, it once again intensifies the conflict between the princess and the prince (played by Liu Zhiyang). Xiao Yin will also Playing the role of "The Man in the Palace". The four actors Yue Lina, Liu Zhiyang, Yu Yi, and Xiao Yin are "in the same frame", and the DNA of many "pendulum fans" is moving. They have co-starred in the "Soul Ferry" series. After "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" was completed and the second part was in preparation, countless netizens "petitioned" and hoped that the "Pendulum Squad" would reunite.
In addition, powerful actors such as Luo Jialiang (Hong Kong, China), Shi Ke, Wei Zi, Yin Xiaotian, Dai Xiangyu, Tang Jingmei, Heizi, Wang Maolei, and Che Baole (Hong Kong, China) will also play important roles in different unit stories.
Light red returns, Paul Che joins "The Secret of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" adds new hidden gameplay
As a "second generation drama", "The Secret of the Tang Dynasty: The Journey to the West" innovatively provides a "return" "Another possibility. In the story of "The Killing of Huangmei" in the first season, the love between Uncle Duguya and Qinghong made people sigh with regret and became the heart of many netizens. In the second season, the two "renew their relationship" with new identities and relationships. Screenwriter Wei Fenghua once wrote an article explaining the reason for this design, "As a series, Tang Gui will use the first season as a basis to select one or two units that can continue to develop the story, and further develop the subsequent encounters of the characters in this unit, that is, The sequence of the entire vertical story of Tang Gui is... Stone Bridge Picture - Huangmei Killing - Hall of All Living Beings..., and the selected horizontal continuation story of "Huangmei Killing" is Huangmei Killing - Wu Zuo's Death -... In this way, it is intertwined into a network. In the multi-season series, this may be an innovation of Tang Bi. In the story that continues horizontally, if the perspective is changed, the protagonists are Dugu and Qinghong, and Detective. The six people in the group just went through Qinghong's and Dugu's lives. This network was intertwined, and the bright and strange Tang Dynasty became three-dimensional. Only in this way can there be fireworks. "Qinghong's return is not only the main creative team. Respect and response to the audience's demands are the creator's display of story structure and innovation.
In addition, the selection of actors in the Tang Bi series is based on the characteristics of the characters, and the most suitable people are selected to star. Paul Cha, a veteran actor who has been very popular before, will also play a different role in the play this time. Many netizens said that Tang Gui's selection was truly in their hearts.
The last thing worth looking forward to is the hidden gameplay of "The Journey to the West" - the first story of the play takes place in Chang'an, and then the protagonist is demoted, all the way to the west, passing the Gobi Desert, rivers, and winter snow scenes. There are also famous wine producing areas, etc., and finally we arrive at Dunhuang. The place names are both fictional and real, but the scenery and culture have their own charms. Audiences who are interested in "culture and tourism" during the broadcast can guess and check in while watching, and appreciate the different scenery of the Western Regions.
