How long has it been since I watched a decent ancient costume martial arts drama?
Once this question comes up, the audience may hesitate because there are so few good martial arts dramas in recent years.
The last martial arts drama that set off a nationwide craze for watching dramas seemed to be " Snow Warriors " three years ago. Unfortunately, the drama was magically changed, and it has no popularity but no reputation.
Although "Lotus Tower", which was a hit last summer, has martial arts elements, the detective story takes up most of the story, so it is not considered a martial arts drama.
The golden age of martial arts created by dramas such as "天龙八部" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" seems to have gone away.
Many viewers hope that a decent martial arts drama will be launched to restore its past glory.
Here it comes - "Seven Nights of Snow".
The drama is currently in the promotion stage to warm up for its launch, and will surely meet the audience soon.
So what are the chances of winning this drama to recreate the glory of martial arts?
Continuing the passion for martial arts, there are many things to watch
"Seven Nights of Snow" is adapted from Cang Yue's novel of the same name. It tells the story of Huo Zhanbai ( Zeng Shunxi ) seeking medicine for his friend's son and getting acquainted with Xue Ziye ( Li Qin), the master of the medicine valley. )s story.
The two people with their own obsessions went from competing against each other to being unable to express their love due to their respective responsibilities. In the end, they were separated forever.
Combined with the trailer, it is not difficult to see that the drama has captured the two "killer features" of martial arts dramas, which may be the key to its return to the glory of martial arts.
The first trump card: the "righteousness" of martial arts.
The reason why the past "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were so good to watch was because the joyful grievances and grievances of children in the world had their own unique charm, which made the audience never forget them.
The biggest attraction of "Seven Nights of Snow" is the "friendship" between the characters.
Huo Zhanbai turned to Xue Ziye for help in order to save his junior sister's son, and spent eight years desperately trying to obtain the seven-flavored peerless medicine prescribed to him by the master of Yaowang Valley.
However, in order to gain freedom, Tong (played by Chen Haosen), the mysterious killer of the Demon Cult, robbed the dragon's blood red cold beads, one of the medicines in Huo Zhanbai's hand.
Huo Zhanbai was seriously injured in the fight and was sent back to Yaowang Valley by Xue Ziye for treatment. At this time, Huo Zhanbai's friend's son could no longer be treated.
Xue Ziye was moved by Huo Zhanbai's persistence for many years and tried to find a cure regardless of his serious illness. Huo Zhanbai had no idea about this and wanted to send the medicine back.
The character’s persistence undoubtedly satisfies the audience’s expectations for the chivalrous spirit.
The second trump card is the "little love" in the great love.
"Seven Nights of Snow" casts Zeng Shunxi and Li Qin as the leading actors. Naturally, the appearance of these two people cannot be wasted. The emotional line between their characters is also worth looking forward to.
However, the love between Huo Zhanbai and Xue Ziye will make sacrifices for chivalry.
During the eight years in Medicine Valley, the two got along every day and redeemed each other. Before Huo Zhanbai left, the two agreed to drink together under the plum tree in the coming year.
But Xue Ziye had to sneak into the Great Guangming Palace in order to repay his kindness and save his close friend. Huo Zhanbai, as a disciple of Tianshan, shoulders the responsibility of protecting the common people.
The two cherish each other and hide their love in their hearts. The entanglement in this big love and small love and the final outcome has always touched the hearts of the audience.
Just watching the trailer, I was moved by some of the shots, and I really can’t wait to watch the feature film.
The casting is highly suitable and the appearance is a feast.
A good story naturally needs a good director to capture the essence.
"Seven Nights of Snow" gathered three top directors in the industry at once, and it can be said that it won at the starting line.
Ren Haitao, Liang Shengquan, Li Weiji.
The most representative works of these three directors are "三生三世十里桃花", "花千 Bone" and "Fire Like a Song". Just one of them is a hit.
They co-directed "Seven Nights of Snow", I can only say that the audience is blessed.
After watching the director, look at the actors.
I have to say that the director’s vision is amazing, and the actors selected for the play are not bad in appearance and acting skills.
ranked first, Li Qin.
Li Qin has reached another peak in her career this year.
In "The Storm Chaser", she played the role of Shen Jinzhen who had ideals, was smart and passionate, and made the audience shed a lot of tears when he died in the end.
In " Qing Yu Nian 2", the audience was firmly attracted by Lin Waner as soon as she appeared. Her generosity and gentleness were vividly performed by Li Qin, making people feel that she is Lin Waner herself, and no one is more suitable for this role than her. .
In dramas where male characters account for the majority, Li Qin has created vivid female images, which is enough to prove her superb acting skills.
In the new drama, Li Qin plays the heroine Xue Ziye, and her costume style has reached a new level. We look forward to her more exciting performances.
The second place is Zeng Shunxi.
As a popular niche actor at the moment, Zeng Shunxi’s acting skills are also very impressive.
In last year's hit "Lotus Tower", he played Fang Duobing's reckless and arrogant in the early stage and his delicate and steady later stage. Even the strict fans of the original work were captured. Zeng Shunxi also gained countless fans with this role.
In "Seven Nights of Snow", Zeng Shunxi plays the male protagonist Huo Zhanbai. The role itself is not as good as Fang Duobing. I hope Zeng Shunxi can leave a classic role this time.
The third place is Wang Hongyi.
Wang Hongyi is very busy this summer.
first challenged the role of Yang Kang in "Jin Yong's Martial Arts World". Although the series was of a low standard, Wang Hongyi's acting skills were not outstanding.
Yang Kang's role has been offline, and Wang Hongyi's " Sauvignon Blanc 2" is online. The Chishui Fenglong he plays in the play makes people love and hate him. Wang Hongyi's acting skills also add a lot of color to the character.
In the new drama "Seven Nights of Snow", he plays Miao Feng, a character who is both good and evil, which is a test of his acting skills. I hope Wang Hongyi can grasp it.
ranked fourth, Ye Zuxin.
Although Ye Zuxin has always been tepid, his acting skills are very stable.
In dramas such as "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and " Qing Ping Le ", his performances have left a deep impression on the audience, especially in this year's " Gloomy Fire ", he played the calm detective Alertness makes the whole play more suspenseful.
Good actors can be the icing on the cake. I hope that Ye Zuxin can also surprise the audience in "Seven Nights of Snow".
In addition, actors such as Zeng Keni, Mao Linlin, Liu Haoyu also joined the cast. This martial arts drama is exciting.
Conclusion:
Martial arts dramas are in a slump. In addition to the poor quality of the drama itself, there is another key reason: the story is old-fashioned.
Many creators try to reproduce the characteristics of "pleasure and revenge" in traditional martial arts dramas, and add many exaggerated breakthrough points, such as killing enemies with their hands, breaking through physiological limits, etc., but it becomes a drawback.
But those grand martial arts concepts that are truly attractive, and the friendship between Jianghu and Jianghu have been passed over in a cursory manner.
Today's martial arts dramas must not only retain the essence, but also control the preferences of the new generation of viewers. Otherwise, everyone might as well watch the previous classics.
Whether "Seven Nights of Snow" can live up to the audience's expectations and become a new martial arts hit, the answer will be revealed after the feature film is broadcast, so stay tuned.
