There is a type of Chinese drama that people love and hate - Machiavellian drama.

This genre has many classics. For example, the 2015 "Nirvana in Fire" is still a classic in the hearts of many viewers.

However, as dramas such as "Tiansheng Changge" and "The Wind Rises in Longxi" successively fell into the dilemma of high reputation and low ratings, Machiavellian dramas also ushered in a trough.

The only Machiavellian drama that can be talked about in recent years seems to be the " Celebrating More Than Years " series.

Is it possible that Machiavellian dramas are just a flash in the pan?

Zheng Xiaolong’s "The Legend of Tibetan Sea" was the first to disagree.

The top-rated Xiao Zhan and Xiaohua Zhang Jingyi’s CP attracted many viewers. The main plot of revenge in which the male protagonist endures humiliation and exposes the conspiracy is also worth looking forward to. It is ready to explode.

However, there is no news about the scheduled release of this drama. Another Machiavellian drama has been completed -

"With Jin Chang'an", which is to be broadcast in Taochang.

Just watching the trailer, the smell of a conspiracy drama came to me instantly.

There are two eye-catching attractions, and there is a new star in the Machiavellian drama

"With Jin Chang'an" is adapted from Jiu Lu Feixiang's novel of the same name. It tells the story of the female general Li Shuang ( Song Yi) of the Jin Dynasty and Dayao Zhen The story of King Jinan ( Cheng Lei ) teaming up to resolve the crisis of his family and country and help the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Combined with the trailer, this drama has at least two highlights.

One of them, the game of two powers.

Anyone who is familiar with Jiu Lu Feixiang's works knows that she is better at telling the love story of ancient puppets, but "With Jin Chang'an" completely subverted the audience's imagination of her.

This story is no longer limited to love, but incorporates various elements such as family and country, political intrigue, and court struggle. The most exciting part is the game between the male and female protagonists.

The heroine Li Shuang was picked up and adopted by the general when she was young. She showed extraordinary talent in martial arts since she was a child, and when she grew up, she became a general who fought countless battles.

The seriously injured male protagonist is rescued by Li Shuang and returned to the military camp. The female protagonist names him Jin An (played by Cheng Lei) because of the loss of memory. Jin'an fought with Li Shuang, and faced the repeated violations of neighboring Dayao, and the two of them overcame difficulties and dangers together.

As Jin'an's memory continued to recover, he gradually remembered that his true identity was the Zhenshi King of Dayao. The war was tense, and the two had to fight each other.

The partners who once fought side by side turned out to be the generals of the enemy country. Faced with the hatred of the country and the family, Li Shuang and Jin An did not get involved in the personal relationship between their children, and finally protected the peace of the country and the people.

The second one is Machiavellian love.

The story background of "With Jin Chang'an" is set in a turbulent historical period.

Li Shuang not only had to join the army to fight, but was also ordered to find the spies hidden in the military camp. Before Jin An could not remember his true identity, he transformed into a black-masked armored man at night and repeatedly helped Li Shuang push back the Xirong army.

Of course, the villain camp cannot sit still and wait for death. Each character has a mysterious identity, and there is intrigue and intrigue at every step.

The relationship between the male and female protagonists continues to heat up in the battle of wits and courage, and love is only a small part of the drama, more like a secret battle than spreading sugar.

The story starts from the main line of conspiracy, and then slowly expands to the entire family and country, and then to the confrontation between the two countries.

How the protagonist resolves the crisis of his family and country is also the biggest highlight of this drama.

This entanglement of emotions and intrigues is related to the change of the fate of the entire country, and it also makes this plot drama in which the enemy is indistinguishable from ourselves even more treacherous.

Compared with the ancient puppet dramas where all the characters and plots serve love, "Jin Chang'an" uses power to solve the problem. The interlocking battles of wits also include thrilling duels and logically rigorous secret battles, which are enough to grasp. Capture the audience's attention.

The gold medal director joined the cast, and the cast

The main creator plays a decisive role in the success or failure of the series.

The director of this play is Deng Ke, who is no stranger to everyone.

Popular dramas such as "The Son-in-Law" and " and Feng Xing " are all produced by him. It can be said that he has produced one hit after another, especially in costume dramas. He almost never misses. His strength is obvious to the audience.

"With Jin Chang'an" has him joining the cast, so it's stable.

More importantly, the cast of this drama is quite strong in the current Chinese drama market. These are the ones I am most looking forward to.

ranked first, Song Yi.

From becoming popular with "The Pretender" to firmly holding a front-line position with "The Son-in-law" and "Celebrating More Than Years", Song Yi has won enough popularity among the audience.

Her appearance is soft and fresh, with both the innocence of a girl and the elegance of a classical woman.

In "With Jin Chang'an", Song Yi changed her previous image. In the trailer, she is wearing armor, holding a bow and arrow, with firm eyes. She seems to be a cool female general coming out of the book, and Li Shuang in the original work. Don't make one corner too snug.

After watching the trailer, I am even more looking forward to Song Yi's performance in the feature film.

second place, Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei is recognized as a niche student ready to explode.

In "The Feather of the Clouds", the character Gong Shang played by him is mysterious and complex, and sometimes even he can't see through his heart. Cheng Lei is immersed in the role, showing the character's ruthlessness, vulnerability and struggle vividly, and has received a lot of praise. .

In the new drama, the Jin An he plays is very similar to Gong Shangjiao to a certain extent. He has experienced ups and downs and has a sensitive heart. It is difficult for others to guess his thoughts.

For such a role, Cheng Lei can pick it up at his fingertips, it all depends on how brilliant the character is.

is third, Shi Ce .

Sure enough, comedians all have acting potential.

Shi Ce has already proven her acting skills in dramas such as " Hometown, See You Again" and "Run Out". No matter how contrasting the characters are, they are all interpreted vividly and naturally in her hands.

This time in "Jin Chang'an", Shi Ce will challenge the role of Lu Xin. This is her first appearance in a costume drama. What unexpected surprises will she bring to everyone? Let’s look forward to it.

is fourth, Du Chun.

Du Chun is also a capable actor, but he has not played many roles in the industry in the past two years.

In " 八百", Du Chun put on a military uniform and stood in front of the camera. His eyes were always playful, and his unique sense of power during the performance showed the character's delicate emotions perfectly.

I hope Du Chun can become famous with "Jin Chang'an" this time.

In addition, there are also Bi Wenjun, Cheng Xiao, Ji Xiaobing, Guan Hong and many other actors joining the cast. The high-looking lineup can be called the spring of beauty fans, and the audience has a good show to watch.

Conclusion:

Machiavellian dramas have disappeared from the Chinese drama screen, not because the audience doesn’t like watching them, but because they are difficult to film.

This time, can Deng Ke successfully film "Jin Chang'an"?

At least from the preview, the quality is good.

First of all, it combines factors such as intrigue, court battles, and wars, combining the exciting frontal battlefield with the crisis-ridden plot battlefield. The plot and narrative are unconventional.

Secondly, the actors fit the characters very well, and each character does not appear to be out of character. The familiar faces of the actors are also the quality assurance of "With Jin Changan", which will definitely make the series more outstanding.

But whether the series will be a big hit is still unknown. We will wait for the main film to be aired before we can make a conclusion.

Are you looking forward to this drama?
