" Ghost Blowing the Lamp " series of web dramas was filmed in " Nanhai Return to Ruins ", which was obviously beyond its capabilities. The changes in the main creative team of
have caused the overall painting style and texture to drop a lot, and the restoration of the original work is also very limited. It looks a bit like a romance drama with some tomb robbing elements.
However, this series has not yet reached the final chapter, and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" has not yet been released. The story setting of this part is more thrilling. After a visit to the fairy village in the Iron Triangle, the real golden basin washes hands, and the story has arrived. season finale.
If Fei Zhenxiang can continue to be the director, it will not be a problem for the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" IP to return to its peak.
Judging from the frequency of one broadcast per year, "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" is expected to be launched this year. It depends on whether the IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can have a beginning and an end.
But this year’s summer season did not wait for the final chapter of this series. Instead, a 20-episode tomb-robbing and tomb-exploring drama that has been backlogged for 6 years is about to be released. It will be broadcast online in August.
After seeing the plot setting and cast of this drama, I finally got a drama to follow.
First, the theme of tomb robbing is full of advantages, and the conspiracy to seize the treasure has become the biggest attraction.
The word "grave robbing" alone has made this "Love on the Road" earn enough attention.
There is no other reason. This type of subject has its own advantages. The thrilling, suspenseful and fantasy style can easily attract the audience into the drama. Although
has only been introduced to everyone after 6 years, the story of "Sticking Love" does not seem outdated.
This drama tells the story of orphan Gu Dan and He Dongliang who were kidnapped by their master Liu Buchang. In order to rescue their master, they were forced to steal the Xixia ancient artifact Miaoyinniao.
At this time, Qiao Yu, the captain of the security team, and Yu Xiaoxiao, the investigator in charge of Miaoyinniao's claims, were also accidentally involved in the theft case, so the three teamed up to uncover the story of a shocking treasure conspiracy by an international tomb robber gang.
The Iron Triangle, the conspiracy to seize the treasure, are the settings a bit familiar?
Yes, the story is not as bizarre as the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, but it still revolves around three people. Not only that, the background of the story is also set in modern times, with Xixia antiquities as the starting point, and it is full of mystery.
Through the preview of the drama, we can also feel that the style of this "Love on the Block" is very different from the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series.
The story takes place in the endless desert outside the Great Wall, and this tomb-exploring trip involves not only the Iron Triangle team, but also people from all walks of life who are fully armed.
In the process of treasure hunting, the bizarre events that Audio-Technica encountered also had a bit of science fiction color. The treasure is likely to exist in another dimension. This alone distinguishes it from the familiar tomb robbery dramas. .
Not only that, the shots shown in the trailer are also very visually impactful. The magnificent underground treasure house is dazzling.
The moment the tomb door opens, the psychedelic and thrilling scene makes people feel as if they are in a dream, with a dream-like sense of reality.
Although it is a work made six years ago, the visual impact is indeed no worse than many tomb robbery dramas today, and the brand-new character images, compared to Hu Bayi in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Shirley Yang and Fatty can also give It brings more freshness to the audience.
Second, "King Guojun" plays the leading role, and the female lead is called a goddess.
The cast of this drama is very surprising. The main and supporting characters are all old acquaintances of everyone.
ranked first, Li Dongxue.
Li Dongxue, who plays the male lead, is undoubtedly the most well-known. Although he has acted in many popular works since his debut, the one that has attracted the most attention is "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Although it is a drama about the harem disputes, his role as Prince Guo is the most frustrating character in the entire drama.
Even before he died, he didn’t know that Zhen Huan’s child was his own. After missing Zhen Huan from beginning to end, he would rather marry someone he didn’t love in order to save each other.
Li Dongxue's affectionate and dedicated performance of this role, coupled with the personality charm brought by the character's own setting, also helped Li Dongxue become the most popular male character in the whole drama.
In this "Love on the Wall", he plays the male protagonist Gu Dan, the core figure of the tomb-exploring team. His popularity and influence alone can attract more viewers to pay attention to this drama.
In fact, after "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Li Dongxue has not been idle. He also appeared in "Embroidered Spring Knife ", "The Legend of Chen Xi" and other works. However, most of them were supporting roles, and it is not a problem to take the leading role and become popular.
is second, Tang Jingmei .
When I saw that the heroine was played by Tang Jingmei, my heart dropped into my stomach. As an immortal goddess who was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Most Popular Actress, she has frequently appeared in various major dramas in recent years.
The closest work to us is "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2", in which she plays the sexy and sultry Mrs. Ma, a role that tests her appearance, temperament and acting skills.
Tang Jingmei has done a good job, so it is no problem for her to play the role of insurance adjuster Yu Xiaoxiao in "Love on the Block".
The third place is Chen Mengqi.
I believe that many viewers will find Chen Mengqi's name a little strange when they first hear it. But when it comes to Huo Ran in "The Disappearance of " and Hovens in " Gentle Detective ", everyone will have an impression. ?
Yes, Chen Mengqi is the kind of actor who is famous but not popular. He has a very recognizable appearance and outstanding acting charm, but he is always tepid.
For him, what he lacks is a good work and a good role. This "Song of Love" is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Judging from the role setting, he is a member of the Iron Triangle, and his role is crucial. With Li Dongxue and Tang Jingmei, it is almost certain that he will become popular.
fourth place, sunspot.
Heizi has never played a good guy, and the role he plays in the drama is not a good one at first glance.
Heizi has a villain face, and his interpretation of the negative image makes people feel very immersive. Also in "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2", Heizi played a deeply hidden killer in Dali Temple.
If it weren’t for the fact that the real boss was hiding behind, it would be hard not to think that Heizi was the mastermind behind it. After all, his aura was too strong. It is still very curious what kind of role
will play in "The Love on the Wall".
Conclusion
It is undeniable that the two most popular tomb robber IPs are "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbers Notes". Other than these, other works have a very limited audience.
But just because it's not popular doesn't mean the story isn't brilliant. You can tell from the plot and character settings that it's not inferior to other works, and it's still expected to become a dark horse.
It can be said that this "Love on the Block" has the potential to change the curse of the backlog of dramas and continue to write the legend of the tomb robbing universe.
Are you looking forward to this work?
