Speaking of the costume suspense detective dramas that have appeared in the industry in recent years, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" is definitely on the list.
This "three no drama" with no big IP adaptation, no popular actors, and no large amount of publicity can be said to be unknown when it was first broadcast.
However, after it was aired, it gained countless fans due to its weird and suspenseful plot and excellent production, making it a dark horse drama of the year.
When the play ended, all the viewers shouted that they had not seen enough and hoped that the show would make a sequel.
The producers also listened to the advice and gathered the original crew to film the sequel. After two years, they brought this sequel "The Legend of Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West", hereinafter referred to as "Tang Dynasty Strange Story 2".
Different from the obscurity of "Tang Wei 1" two years ago when it premiered, this time "Tang Wei 2" is highly anticipated.
won the top spot on the platform’s popularity list when it first aired. The popularity on the site exceeded 9,000, and is currently accelerating towards the camp that exceeds 10,000.
Discussions on the plot on social media are also in full swing. It has received good reviews. It was announced to start filming the third season just a few days after the broadcast. Some netizens even called for a 45th season.
"Tang Gui 2" can continue to be popular and have a good reputation. There are many reasons.
For example, the eye-catching Chinese trickery, compact and smooth storyline, and the fighting design are also very exciting.
In addition, "Tang Gui 2" can gain good popularity and reputation, which is also inseparable from the wonderful performances of the actors in the play.
Below, Qingshi will talk about the 8 most eye-catching characters in the drama and see how the characters shine under the actors' interpretations.
Eighth place: Mrs. Ma (played by Tang Jingmei)
Mrs. Ma is a new character this season and appears in the first unit "Conquering the Demon".
When they see the title "Mrs. Ma", many people will think of Mrs. Ma in " Tian Long Ba Bu ".
And this name actually implies two qualities of this character. The first is that he is beautiful.
The second reason is that because her husband is a border guard general who has been away for a long time, Mrs. Ma has behaved inappropriately.
Mrs. Ma’s first appearance was when Lu Lingfeng came to General Ma’s house to investigate the case, and as soon as she appeared, she let the audience know what it means to be naturally charming.
She was seen wearing a classic Tang suit with exquisite makeup, and her figure was swaying as she walked.
’s voice was straight to the bone as soon as he opened his mouth, making people entranced at first glance.
The beautiful Tang Jingmei also matches the character very well, with delicate and fair skin and exquisite three-dimensional facial features.
Especially the pair of big eyes with the moles on the corners of the eyes give her a charming feeling.
’s acting skills are also online. When flirting with Lu Lingfeng, she didn’t feel deliberately coquettish, but her eyes were already full of charm.
When Su Wuming came to inquire, her expression was sulky and impatient compared to Lu Lingfeng's flattery. When
was pulled for questioning, his face instantly turned pale when facing the punishment, which gave him the impression that the character's face was pale.
It can be said that in the first 12 episodes, the most touching one is Mrs. Ma played by Tang Jingmei.
Seventh place: Zhou Lao (played by Paul Cha)
If Mrs. Ma played by Tang Jingmei is the most "fascinating", then Zhou Lao played by Paul Cha is the most "treacherous".
It is worth mentioning that Paul Che was recommended to the Tang Bi crew by netizens. The crew said they would consider it carefully after receiving enthusiastic recommendations from netizens.
Facts have also proved that it is most correct to let the right actors play the right roles.
html The 264-year-old Paul Che plays the role of the prison boss Zhou Lao in the play. He has a thin face and a stooped body. He is full of "cunning" when he appears.
But the most outstanding thing about this protagonist lies precisely in the contrast between appearance and heart.
He used to be a cruel official. Faced with blood-stained hands, he felt remorse and began to atone for his sins with his own actions.
When Di Renjie was imprisoned, Mr. Zhou secretly helped him escape, so Su Wuming would bow down to him when he met him.
It can be said that in a sense, he and Fei Jishi are the same structure. Both have dusty pasts that they don’t want to talk about, and both have unique skills that they don’t throw away.
One is in charge of medicine, one is in charge of interrogation, one focuses on being a confused and happy ghost in eating chicken, and the other is trying to wash away the sins of the past in self-imprisonment.
It is no exaggeration to say that Paul Cha’s image and acting skills are also perfectly integrated with this role.
His face already has a weirdness to it, and coupled with his wonderful acting skills, this small character is as exciting as the protagonist.
Sixth place: Chun Tiao (played by Xi Wang)
The Qing Hong played by Xi Wang in "Tang Gui 1" made the audience shine.
Qinghong and Uncle Duguya, the pair of fateful mandarin ducks, have also become the unhappy CPs in the hearts of Tanggui viewers.
Unexpectedly, the screenwriter actually continued Huang Mei in the second season, and "Fragrant Beauty" Qinghong also returned to play Harutiao.
In the second season, Harutiao, played by Xi Wang, is the wife of a widower. In addition to having one more mole on the corner of Qinghong's mouth than Qinghong, her hair style, personality and temperament are also very different.
Harujou appeared in a gradient pink dress, which looked like a delicate and charming pink peach blossom, and also had the charm of a mature young woman.
And unlike the gentle and virtuous Qing Hong and the bohemian Qing Hong in Uncle Duguya’s dream, this character is one part charming, one part aggressive and one part fierce.
It can be said that under Xi Wang’s interpretation, although she has the same face, you will not think that she is slightly red when you look at Harujou.
Qingshi believes that as the fourth female lead, she will become popular.
Compared with Qinghong, the spring strips this time are fuller. She has a tense relationship with her husband because she does not understand her husband's career and dislikes Duguyang's unintelligible style.
But after learning the truth about her husband's suicide and the wife-letting letter that Dugu Yang left for her, Harujo understood her husband and had a new understanding of the profession of widowhood.
She decided to inherit her husband’s business and learn to be a co-worker from her mother-in-law. So far, the business and spirit of the co-worker family have been passed down.
From Huang Mei’s killing of Qing Hong, who was unable to control her own destiny, to this time, Haru Tiao, who found a career to fight for, in a sense, it can be regarded as a complete closed loop of the two female characters echoing each other.
Fifth place: Lu Lingfeng (played by Yang Xuwen)
As one of the male protagonists in the first season, Lu Lingfeng has countless fans, especially his growth line is very full.
From the proud son of heaven, the general of the Jinwu Guard, to the "follower of Sima Xiazhou" who suffered everywhere, to the one who truly knew how to become a disciple of Di Gong.
lost his spirit and remained proud, and in the mountains, rivers, land and people's sufferings, he understood the importance of life beyond the famous family.
In the new season we can see more struggles of this character, such as the dilemma between the prince (now the emperor) and the princess's biological mother.
has also grown more, and has made a lot of progress in investigating cases. When encountering a case, he is calm and calm, and his brows are thoughtful, and there is also a bit of Su Wuming.
Especially before being demoted from Beijing, he said that he loved the bright moon of the Tang Dynasty but loved the people around him even more, which made everyone see his tenderness.
From the first season to the second season, Yang Xuwen's performance was as stable as ever.
Dressed in white and sitting at the desk, he has the air of a humble gentleman. When facing the enemy with a gun, he shows the firm and courageous side of the character.
In the scene where Yang Xuwen was injured by the "Devil", Yang Xuwen was dying and his face turned pale, which made people feel the pain through the screen.
Faced with the death of his good brother Guo Zhuang, Yang Xuwen, who carried the body on his back and walked in the rain, performed the role of sadness, anger and loyalty.
Yang Xuwen and Yang Zhigang have become more and more tacit in this season. The two people’s investigation CP tension is stronger. We look forward to Yang Xuwen’s more exciting performances in the future.
Fourth place: Dugu Yang (played by Wang Maolei)
Wang Maolei plays Dugu Yang, a character in the "Death of Zuzu" unit. This character was offline at the beginning.
As a key figure in the case, the moment the truth about his death was revealed bit by bit, I felt as uncomfortable as peeling an onion.
As a coworker, Duguyang worked diligently, and there was never any flaw in the autopsy.
However, due to his low status, he not only failed to win respect, but also suffered from people's disgust. Even his wife did not understand him.
Because his brother-in-law Chunshan was a gambler and unreliable, he accidentally killed the tomb robber Lu Er to save his brother-in-law Duguyang.
The tomb robber himself should be sentenced to death. As long as Duguyang explains clearly what happened to the county magistrate, he can be found not guilty.
However, Duguyang abides by the ancient precept of "you do not kill people" and cannot let go of the accidental killing of Lu Er.
In addition, Niu Daiming slandered Duguyang's wife Chuntiao for having an affair with Dong Haogu, and deliberately uttered dirty words to stimulate him.
therefore decided to commit suicide, which triggered the bizarre "mud figurine murder case".
Before committing suicide, Dugu Yang still insisted on his responsibilities as a co-worker. Some people questioned his autopsy results.
So he took the body home and asked his mother Cao Hui to re-examine it, so that he would not have any regrets in the job he loved.
wrote a letter of divorce to his wife before he died. Every word is full of deep affection for his wife.
The section "The Death of Zuzuo" was also considered by the audience to be the most meaningful unit, especially the letter about letting go of his wife, which moved everyone.
And Wang Maolei’s performance also gave the character a different brilliance.
He performed Dugu Yang’s kindness and generosity, and his love and dedication to his work.
performed Dugu Yang’s humble despair, his guilt for his mother, and his most sincere and strongest love for his wife.
Third place: Su Wuming (played by Yang Zhigang)
Su Wuming, played by Yang Zhigang, is a detective in the play.
He studied under Di Renjie. Although he does not know martial arts, he has a good brain, is smooth in dealing with things, and has a cunning personality.
formed the Detective CP with his partner Lu Lingfeng in the first season and solved many strange cases one after another.
And Yang Zhigang also turned around with his wonderful performance as Su Wuming.
Whether it is the unique slow expression or the energy of speaking slowly, they all fit perfectly with the style of the series.
Although Su Wuming is Di Gong's disciple, Su Wuming is different from Di Renjie. He gives people the feeling of being wise and foolish.
And Yang Zhigang occasionally pretends to be stupid and his eyes are rolling, which portrays this trait of the character very deeply.
In the new season, Yang Zhigang's interpretation of Su Wuming is more calm.
In the play, Yang Zhigang was fishing with Cherry on the shore as soon as he appeared on the stage. Life was so comfortable.
After receiving the order to return to Kyoto, when Su Wuming and Shangguanxu were trying to make ends meet, the hypocrisy and flattery on their faces gave them the air of an old official.
When he first heard that Lu Lingfeng was missing or dead, Su Wuming stumbled forward, his expression was shocked and full of worry, and he lost his usual stability.
When investigating the case, the state immediately switched again. He narrowed his eyes, as if he had mastered all the truth of the entire case.
Su Wuming has many such "serious moments" in the play, which can make the audience realize his strength in handling cases and his delicate insight into people's hearts.
I have to say that without Yang Zhigang, this drama may have lost some soul.
In the play, Yu Yi is the fifth male lead, playing the role of Qin Xiaobai, the first muralist of the Tang Dynasty.
Such a character has a wild and uninhibited atmosphere, and even the princess's face is ignored.
As soon as Yu Yi appeared on the stage, he looked like a master in a black and white ink robe.
Moreover, he managed the artist's arrogance and "craziness" for painting just right, and the performance was very exciting.
Faced with the crowd's admiration, he looked slightly proud, playing with the wine glass in his hand, his posture was lazy and content.
When he heard someone ridiculing his painting skills and ridiculing the devil's eye-dotting, Qin Xiaobai stood up and looked fierce.
When Qin Xiaobai saw that his junior brother wanted to desecrate his mural with a monster swim light, Qin Xiaobai's face was ferocious, he was dumbfounded and shouted wildly.
portrays the image of a crazy artist so deeply that it is so contagious.
In the end, the murals were used by bad people for evil purposes, killing many people.
Qin Xiaobai poked his eyes out and vowed never to paint again, which demonstrated the character and paranoia of ancient Chinese literati.
The songs sung by Yu Yi in the play are also ancient in style, with a long aftertaste that makes people remember endlessly.
First place: Cao Hui (played by Shi Ke)
At the press conference of "Tang Gui 2", the screenwriter said that there will be more outstanding female characters in the second season.
And Shi Ke plays the heroine Cao Hui is one of them.
As a heroine of the Tang Dynasty, especially a heroine, her status was humble at that time and she was often looked down upon by others.
But Cao Hui never feels that this profession is low. On the contrary, she is proud every time.
This can be seen from Cao Hui's appearance.
In the play, there is no autopsy for the death of Dugu Sheep. Su Wuming was about to leave in person, when suddenly a shout came from outside the door:
The female widow of the Tang Dynasty conducted Cao Hui's autopsy, and the rest of the crowd stood back!
As soon as Shi Ke appeared on the stage, Shi Ke performed an image of a resolute, resolute and courageous heroine.
As a co-worker, she was able to remain professional when faced with the corpse being her own son, and the accuracy of the autopsy won Su Wuming's praise.
After the autopsy, her mood changed instantly. She said "I beg the county magistrate to find the murderer as soon as possible" to express the grief of losing her son.
In Cao Hui, you can see the professionalism and professional ethics of a professional worker.
You can also see the grief and sadness of a mother losing her son, which was well performed by Shi Ke.
What makes Qingshi most emotional is that the series does not focus on the protagonist’s highlights.
There is an autopsy plot in the drama. Although Su Wuming can also do autopsies, there is still a gap compared with other works.
He inferred that he suffered internal injuries but could not show them visually, but Cao Hui showed the internal injuries through white plum cakes.
This kind of plot also makes the character of Cao Hui more full-bodied, and her professionalism is more convincing and praiseworthy.
There is no doubt that the play can become popular again. In addition to the script production, the most amazing thing is that each actor has his own shining point.
also exudes different charms under the wonderful performances of the actors. I believe that as subsequent units are unlocked, more dazzling characters and actors will appear.
