comic and drama adaptations have become a general trend.

Both the drama and movie version of " Under the Stranger " have received good reputations. Although the two works have different lineups, they are both better because of accurate casting.

Therefore, for comic-book dramas, the most important thing is that the actors must fit the characters.

"Young Song Xing" also far exceeded expectations. I believe that the bald monk played by Liu Xueyi is still the ceiling choice in the hearts of comic fans!

coupled with the highly restored plot, it can be said that fans of the original work will be sure to grasp it.

There are also works such as "Wu Geng Ji" and " Flames ", the quality of which has exceeded expectations, and " Chen Qing Ling " has become a phenomenon-level hit.

There will be many comic-book dramas coming soon, among which the first one to be seen is "The Blood of Zhenhun Street" which is officially announced to be released on September 23.

1, special effects online, impressive restoration

Although it is "Zhenhun Street 2", in terms of story setting, it does not continue the previous 2017 version of the drama of the same name.

The story tells about Cao Yanbing (played by Ao Ruipeng), a descendant of Wei Wu who has the body of a martial god, Xia Ling (played by Zhang Yuxi) who is a mysterious guardian spirit, and the former soul-suppressing general Beiluo Shimen (played by Jin Jia). ), with their own different purposes, go to the Forest of Sky God together to find the story of the ancient Luhua Tower.

Because it is an adventure fantasy setting, this drama requires a lot of special effects to bring the protagonists into dangerous situations and experience many dangers.

Looking at the special effects in the trailer, it is obvious that a lot of energy and financial resources were spent on the production, and it even has the effect of an S-class big-screen movie.

The popular "Black Myth: Wukong" has attracted countless attention due to its special effects. This is enough to show that for works that require the blessing of special effects technology, the visual experience also directly affects the popularity and popularity of the work.

The fighting scenes in the drama are also very shocking. Judging from the quality of the picture, we will not be disappointed.

Whether the comic drama can restore the original work will also determine the audience's acceptance. Many scenes in the trailer appear to be restorations of famous scenes in the original work.

And Fuhua Dao, etc., are also full of details.

Audiences who are familiar with the original work know that the male protagonist Cao Yanbing is a deliveryman in the real world. This is also reflected in the trailer. It can be predicted that this drama is full of sincerity for comic fans.

2, Ma Sheng’s face change in comics, Zhang Yuxi’s appearance adaptability is perfect

is also adapted from the TV series of the same name of the "Zhenhun Street" IP, and only received a 6.0 rating. For no other reason than the casting did not meet expectations.

The actress chosen to play the heroine Xia Ling is Anyuexi . Although the actor's image and temperament are not bad, his appearance is too Xiaojiabiyu, and he is more suitable for playing the image of a sweet and cute girl.

The importance of casting in comic adaptation works is self-evident. The more it matches the character setting, the more immersive it will be.

This "Zhenhun Street 2" smartly chose Zhang Yuxi, the face-changer of Ma Sheng Manga. Her facial features are very delicate, she looks like a doll, and she also has a cold and distant temperament. She can be defended or attacked. She is indeed very good. Like a goddess coming out of a comic book.

It can be said that there is no one more suitable for this role than Zhang Yuxi.

The Xia Ling that many viewers became familiar with when they read the comics of "Zhenhun Street" is Zhang Yuxi's face. Being able to choose her to play the heroine shows that the director's aesthetics are not bad.

In addition, the other actresses in the play are also beautiful, which not only fits the characters' settings in the original work, but also takes into account the actors' own popularity with the audience.

For example, Chen Zihan is recognized as a goddess. Although she is now middle-aged, her skin is firm and she looks very young without feeling tired at all.

With such a beautiful face, it would be a pity not to act in a comic adaptation.

As for the supporting actress played by Chen Zihan, while ensuring her good looks, if she can perform the role well enough, she may be expected to be the most beautiful in the drama.

Three, more than handsome, not enough domineering, Ao Ruipeng almost fell in love with

Ao Ruipeng played the role of Cao Yanbing in this version of "Zhenhun Street".

has previously appeared in works such as "Young Song Xing" and " There Is a Female Disciple from the Imperial College". The image and temperament are not bad, but because of the role he played before, he was silly and out-of-the-box, which has already given everyone a preconceived impression.

Therefore, it is difficult to imagine how Ao Ruipeng can portray a domineering and heroic image.

There is a saying, Ao Ruipeng's good looks are enough, but having a handsome face is not enough to play Cao Yanbing. The character

had a very tragic experience. When he was only ten years old, his parents disappeared mysteriously, so he took on the task of supporting the family. Later, he rescued a female spirit, and in the process of getting along with her, he gradually regarded her as his sister.

Because of the appearance of evil spirits, he saw with his own eyes that the female spirit was torn into pieces and eaten by evil spirits. After that, he lost all hope and swore to become a devil.

This is a character who once lived in purgatory on earth, but after growing up and tempering, he grew into a generation of heroes. Cao Yanbing has strong strength and a strong aura.

Ao Ruipeng, who has a handsome appearance, has no problem if he wants to portray a middle-class character, but if he wants to portray a strong character, it is difficult to be convincing just by looking at this kind of makeup.

Because his face is too thin, even if his hair style and clothes are restored, it gives the impression that he is wearing the wrong clothes. The thick armor is put on his body, as if he has stolen the size of an adult.

Although Cao Yanbing, played by Wang Dongcheng in the 2017 version of "Zhenhun Street", also has acting problems, which is also difficult for fans of the original work to accept.

But at least from the appearance point of view, Wang Dongcheng looks more like Cao Yanbing himself who came out of the comics.

Ao Ruipeng and Wang Dongcheng are not actors of the same style. Therefore, after the audience has identified with Wang Dongcheng's version of Cao Yanbing, it will be difficult for Ao Ruipeng to break and rebuild.

Ao Ruipeng, whose appearance is very weak, may become the failure of this drama because of his appearance.

Conclusion

Although the heroine Zhang Yuxi does not appear to be inappropriate in appearance, her acting skills are worrying.

After all, Zhang Yuxi had acted in many film and television works before this, but almost all of them were complained about because of her acting skills. If she can improve her performance, it may break the audience's inherent impression of her and improve the quality of this drama.

Ao Ruipeng's appearance does not seem to match the character image, but his acting skills are higher than Zhang Yuxi's. If he can use his acting skills to make up for the shortcomings in appearance, there will be unexpected results.

What also affects the quality of the drama is the main creator. Although the director of this drama Zhong Qing is a professional in comic adaptations, the quality of his masterpieces is mediocre.

Taken together, the plot settings and visual special effects are worth looking forward to. It depends on whether the director can do it well and whether the actors can make up for their own shortcomings.

Do you think this drama can be a hit?
