Recently, after the broadcast of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories: Journey to the West", it instantly set off a climax on the entire Internet. Compared with the previous costume detective drama "Huajian Ling", because of the heroine's acting skills and plot The loopholes in "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories: Journey to the West" have truly achieved the goal of not holding back everyone, and everyone is a king. The director of the
series is Guo Jingyu. Every time he does not make a move, it will be a high-quality one. This is not because he is good at catering to the market and catering to the audience, but because he is sincere and dedicated in producing every TV series. All the dramas are creative and novel, with broad themes, and do not fall into the audience's aesthetic blind spots. Under the influence of various factors, such a magical masterpiece was born.
After watching the film "The Secret of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West", many netizens lamented: At first Guo Jingyu angrily criticized the unspoken rules of the TV drama industry, but now it seems that he has the confidence to openly challenge capital, "The Secret of the Tang Dynasty" "Journey to the West" slapped many bad dramas in the face and tore off the fig leaf of many bad actors.
Once the right actor is chosen for a drama, half the battle is won. The core male protagonist throughout the drama is Lu Lingfeng, a lieutenant general in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Lingfeng's actor Yang Xuwen was once involved in a scandal, which led to him being in the industry He was once hidden, but now that he has come back, he has kept a low profile. He does not promote himself aggressively, but relies on his acting skills to convince people. Therefore, the audience who watched this drama have a good impression of him and admit that he is the most suitable for Lu Lingfeng. The actor in one corner is the soul of the whole play.
Especially his fighting scenes in the drama are more amazing than literary dramas, and he also taught a profound lesson to domestic entertainment.
Half of the current martial arts dramas for domestic entertainment have been filmed as fantasy dramas, with all kinds of fancy tricks and fighting tigers in the air, which are euphemistically called "internal strength". There are also some actors who don't have enough strength, so they directly use Wia to make up for it, or they directly use exaggerated special effects, and very exaggerated slow motion.
For example, those terrible fight scenes in " Snow Warriors ", if you think about it, you will know that many celebrities nowadays are not good at martial arts and have weak basic skills. They can only use these special effects and lens changes to create falsehoods. The martial arts style, and many dramas in the industry are perfunctory to the audience, with almost no exceptions, so many viewers will sigh: modern martial arts dramas have declined.
However, Yang Xuwen's martial arts scenes in "The Strange Story of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" are very attractive, to the point where every fight scene can be singled out and praised. Yang Xuwen's basic martial arts skills are solid, and his boxing and kicking skills are in line with the basics. Logically, there will be no inexplicable Wia scenes or fancy boxing techniques, which are similar to those in ancient martial arts dramas.
For example, in the fight scene after he met a masked man at night and attacked him in the air, he was too hasty to receive the attack and did not even take the weapon at hand. He only held an umbrella to challenge the man in a one-on-one fight. He first used the umbrella to fight the man. He deflected the opponent's offensive, and then he did not rush and retreat while dodging and retreating;
held an umbrella while blocking and attacking. His strength was steady and his limbs were strong, without any sense of vanity. The use of this shot was relatively bland, and it all relied on Yang Xuwen's Thanks to his acting skills, every move and block looks very real, and there is no need for fake shots to cover up or modify it.
The second is that the masked man rode a horse to attack him. The masked man was extremely powerful. He could barely resist it at first, but in the end he was violently knocked to the ground, rolled several times, spit out a mouthful of blood, and basically restored the situation. It shows the real state of a person when he is injured, and also makes people intuitively feel how badly he was beaten.
The worse the fight, the more ruthless the acting. Nowadays, many actors' martial arts scenes are smooth and stable, and they have never thought about restoring reality. They will only resort to pretense and let the camera and post-production make up for it. Yang Xuwen is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air. It really slapped everyone in the face.
It is true that domestic entertainment TV dramas have the right to let a hundred flowers bloom in terms of style and creativity, but they still have to follow basic rules. If the actors are allowed to do whatever they want and change a good martial arts drama into a fantasy and magic drama, which is perfunctory to the audience, then it is obviously a waste. Bad thing, I still hope that there will be more conscientious dramas on the market for the audience to choose from, and actors of all types can improve their professional qualities like Yang Xuwen.
