This year’s costume dramas are really lacking.
We are all used to seeing a lot of overturned small dramas, even big productions and big IPs have completely failed to achieve the expected results.
From " Celebrating More Than Years 2" to " Sauvignon Blanc 2" and other dramas, they are obviously sequels to the phenomenal hits, but their reputations have been severely polarized, and some even aired without any splash until the end.
Is it true that among costume dramas, only ancient idols can grab attention despite poor quality by relying on traffic and popularity?
Now, another legendary costume drama is on the stage.
"The Skylark Calls the Sky" was officially announced to have been completed four months after filming. The cast is extremely strong, and the whole drama is full of historical remnants. No matter how you look at it, it is at a level that will give the domestic drama market a hard blow. What is the origin of
, so eager to appear in front of the audience?
Don't worry, this time, let's inspect the goods carefully——
Stick to the faith and preserve the cultural heritage, the legendary costume drama is about to debut
"The Skylark Calls the Sky Record" focuses on the development of Peking Opera, mainly telling the story of the male protagonist The growth line of Meng Jinfu (played by Zhang Yishan) reflects the development and difficulties of Peking Opera in the era.
There are two major elements worth looking forward to in this drama -
One is the legendary male protagonist.
In works of legendary characters, you usually don’t need to worry about too many irrelevant side plots. Generally, even if there are emotional lines, they don’t carry much weight. Once a drama like
becomes popular, it can directly enter the ceiling list of the same theme.
For example, "The Gate of the Great House", "Da Ranfang" and Sun Li's " That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full ", etc., as long as there is the word "legend", the plot will have strong historical elements, and the protagonist "Wei Zhengguang" The image is also particularly eye-catching.
In terms of portraying the growth of the male protagonist, "The Skylark Calls the Sky" does a relatively good job.
The story begins when Meng Jinfu was 18 years old. He went from an unknown boy from a poor family to a martial arts student to a martial arts student and then to an old student.
improved his professionalism step by step, and kept the lonely drama shining brightly in the chaotic era. At the same time, he also relied on his tenacious willpower to reach the end step by step.
Although he is the male protagonist, the director did not let the male protagonist perform from beginning to end.
The male protagonist in his old age has been replaced by an old actor. It is so meticulous that there is no need to worry about the actor's poor performance.
The second one is a Peking Opera element.
Because it is necessary to show the extraordinary skills of the male protagonist, the atmosphere of the entire drama is of course inseparable from the Liyuan.
In order to present better audio-visual effects to the audience, the production team spent a lot of energy on training actors.
Everyone has to perform with real swords and guns, and they all have real skills. Of course, their performances in the play are also very realistic.
In fact, "The Skylark Calls the Sky" invited Tan Xiao, the sixth generation descendant of the Peking Opera Tan School, as an artistic consultant and one of the nine top names of the Peking Opera Company.
Therefore, just by finishing the editing, you can see the respect and love of the actors for Peking Opera.
Every flashing appearance scene is enough for the audience to ponder and savor again and again.
To say the same feeling, I only felt it when watching "The Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red".
A completely hand-built stage, with professional Peking Opera actors and powerful actors, it would be difficult to fail even if you think about it.
When the legendary male theme collides with the elements of Peking Opera, the story of an era of ups and downs and ups and downs will definitely be the favorite of CCTV audiences.
can’t wait for the birth of a new generation of drama kings!
Zhang Yishan returned to carry the banner, and many national first-class actors came to support him.
In fact, Zhang Yishan has not appeared in front of the public for a long time. Although the movie " Zeng Shonen " last year had good effects, the blessing was not great. More light is still there. On Guan Xiaotong.
This time, Zhang Yishan finally took on the role of a male lead in dramas and became the well-deserved male lead in Peking Opera of the era.
Although the reputation is polarized and not very impressive, judging from the trailer, this brother is still very suitable for Meng Jinfu's character.
The most eye-catching thing about famous opera singers for many years is of course their eyes.
Although we have already seen Zhang Yishan's big round eyes in " The Deer and the Cauldron ".
However, after watching the trailer of "The Skylark Calls the Sky", I understood the correct way to open these big eyes.
When he raises his eyes, it's as if a light is going to pierce the screen and hit the audience's heart. His figure is full of charm and his mental state is excellent. At first glance, he is a practitioner.
also speaks with a very accent. It can be seen that Zhang Yishan completely abandoned his previous performance style this time.
plays from the age of 18 to middle age, which is exactly in line with his age and personality.
The male protagonist’s growth and stability along the way, as well as his understanding and profound understanding of traditional culture, do not coincide with Zhang Yishan’s change in attitude towards the acting career.
Of course, with Zhang Yishan alone, this drama is indeed impossible to watch.
must have the support of veteran actors to make this legendary drama work.
Don't mention it, there are a lot of veteran actors in "The Skylark Calls the Sky". There are four national first-class actors..
ranked first, Liu Wei.
Liu Wei plays the elderly Meng Xinrong.
I had a hunch that Zhang Yishan and Zhang Yishan would play the same person at different ages. The charm between the eyebrows and eyes of this veteran actor is really classy.
second place, Yang Lixin.
Yang Lixin has not appeared for a long time. Although he has played a supporting role in the movie, his role is too few.
In "The Skylark Calls the Sky", he plays the fourth role of Meng Zhidao, and there are indeed many scenes.
I haven’t seen Yang Lixin acting seriously in so many years. I don’t know what surprises he can bring to the audience this time.
The third place is Yang Xinming.
Two versions of the Master in " Three Brigades ", Gu Siye in "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin", even "Young Pi", " Only Thirty " and " Golden Years " 》This kind of urban drama can see the presence of veteran actors.
It goes without saying that Yang Xinming’s acting career has broadened, and it is absolutely no problem to play an old man in "The Skylark Calls the Sky".
ranked fourth, a six-year-old child.
I was really surprised to be able to invite six-year-old children.
After so many years, the most classic " Journey to the West " still appears in front of my eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the six-year-old boy has been so vicissitudes of life.
I don’t know what kind of role the director will assign to the six-year-old boy. It will definitely be a hot-buttoned movie by then.
Young actors plus veteran actors, at least five powerful actors are in charge. It seems that it is going to attract a wave of ratings!
Conclusion
Being able to invite so many powerful veteran actors is enough to show the confidence of the production team of "The Skylark Calls the Sky".
Indeed, director Zheng Dasheng was nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Director Award for "1921", and screenwriter Wang Yao has created many high-reputation hit film and television dramas such as "Falling Leaves Return to Roots", "Oranges Are Red" and "Daming Palace Ci".
Therefore, those who dare to prepare for such a legendary game with a male protagonist must have some skills, and judging from the quality of the trailer, it is also more reassuring.
Of course, what the audience is most concerned about is the male advocate Yishan.
debuted as a child actor and has been popular for so many years, but he has also filmed a lot of bad dramas. Whether he can make a turnaround depends on "The Skylark Calls the Sky".
I don’t know if you are optimistic about Zhang Yishan’s new drama?
