Costume dramas have always been popular in the domestic drama market, but now trying to find a few recognized hits among them is no less than "finding a needle in a haystack".

only said that this year, the costume drama " Celebrating More Than Years 2" made a strong comeback after four years and won the title of "King of Drama", which is well deserved.

The costume detective drama "Tang Dynasty's Strange Stories from the West" won a high score of 8.6 on Douban due to its excellent plot quality. It was more popular than the first season and became the biggest winner of the summer season.

But apart from these two films, " Sauvignon Blanc 2" is far less popular than the first one. "The Story of Yan Xin" and "The Story of the Willow Boat" are many that received mediocre or even silent responses.

Not many of these dramas have satisfied the audience, but there are a few dramas to be aired that are worth looking forward to, such as "Nian Wushuang" starring Tang Yan and "National Beauty" starring Yang Zi.

However, the most anticipated one is this one - "Sing with a Smile".

This drama has released its first trailer and will be broadcast in Taochang.

This drama has a strong creative team, actors with good looks and abilities, and a plot full of twists and turns. Now the big drama to save the drama has really come.

01 Machiavellian love, sweetness and abuse

"A Smile and Sui Ge" tells the story of the Splendid Kingdom's female archer Fu Yixiao ( Li Qin ) who shot an arrow at Susha's eldest prince Feng Suige, turning the tide of the battle.

However, after Fu Yixiao fell off a cliff and lost his memory, he reunited with Feng Suige, who was being hunted. The two people use each other to expose the court conspiracy and find the real murderer behind the scenes. They go from hate to love in both directions.

This drama combines love, intrigue, growth, revenge and other elements. After reading the synopsis and trailer, there are two major highlights in this drama that attracted my attention.

First, two powerful forces join forces to fall in love and kill each other.

Compared with the cliché setting of a weak female protagonist and a strong male protagonist, or a plot in which the main heroine is disguised as a heroine but does not change the substance, the setting of a strong male and female protagonist is more in line with the current audience's appetite.

The heroine Fu Yixiao in the play is the best marksman, who can shoot at the enemy's core among all the troops, but she was killed by an adulterer and fell off a cliff and lost her memory.

The male protagonist, Feng Sui Ge, has a big chest and is ruthless. He directly stabbed Fu Yixiao, who had hurt him, and wanted to use her to lure out the people behind the scenes.

Fu Yixiao used Feng Suige to find the murderer who wanted to kill him, while Feng Suige used her as bait to eradicate dissidents.

The two people each have their own mission, are wary of each other, and are wary of each other, but they can trust each other and cherish each other because of their similar fate.

This kind of emotional line of loving and killing each other and being evenly matched is exciting enough.

The second is the court's intrigues, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The identities and story backgrounds of the male and female protagonists in the drama are destined to be machinations as the background of this drama.

What stands between the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the play is the stance of the two countries. They are in chaos and it is difficult to stay alone.

In the play, the Jinxiu Kingdom and the Susha Kingdom are fighting endlessly, causing trouble for Xiao Qiang.

Fu Yixiao and Feng Suige were both hunted by people from their respective countries. Fu Yixiao's arm was seriously injured, and Feng Suige was even buried alive. They entered the game with their own bodies and used themselves as bait to get rid of the scum, defeat the powerful officials, and find out the truth. fierce.

The intrigues of the court provide strong support for the male protagonist’s emotional line. The plot is not limited to small love affairs, but has a grand layout.

has rich plot levels and distinctive characters, and the role played by the creative team cannot be underestimated.

The play is directed by Zhu Ruibin, and his masterpieces " Sweet Ashes Like Frost" and "Stars Fall into Sugar" are all hits in costume dramas.

The screenwriter Qing Mei once served as the screenwriter of "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", and Liu Shiyun, the art director of " Yun Xiang Zhuan ", joined the film.

With such a strong creative team, there is no need to worry about the quality of this drama.

02 Li Qin plays a costume again, and the cast's acting skills are online

The casting of costume dramas not only depends on their acting skills, but also whether the actors have ancient charm and suit the roles, so the casting of this drama is very careful at first glance.

ranks first, Li Qin.

If we talk about current actresses who have both good looks and acting skills, Li Qin must be one of them. Tian Xiaoe in " Bailuyuan " and Tong Xiaomei in " dream of the sea " were both performed amazingly by Li Qin.

But the most amazing thing has to be the costume drama. In "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Celebrating More Than Years", Li Qin's costume appearance is very brilliant. Her temperament is calm and tranquil, with the gentleness and quietness of a classical beauty.

In the new drama, Fu Yixiao, played by Li Qin, has a cold temperament, especially the stubbornness in his eyes that makes the whole character tough. In the

trailer, Fu Yixiao came to the place where Feng Suige was buried alive, digging in the soil in a panic, mumbling words with tears in his eyes, and his almost collapsed mood was only supported by a glimmer of hope.

In this section, Li Qin vividly interprets Fu Yixiao's sense of fragmentation.

It’s so appropriate to choose Li Qin to play this role.

ranked second, Chen Zheyuan.

Chen Zheyuan is also a very popular niche actor at the moment. In the popular "Dark Night and Dawn", the clever and sharp Lin Shaobai is perfectly portrayed by him.

Chen Zheyuan, who has outstanding appearance, plays Duan Jiaxu in "Can't Hide Secretly". He is a youthful and sunny campus male god both in and out of the drama.

And his costume appearance is not bad either. In this drama, Feng Suige, played by Chen Zheyuan, is a prince with a cautious character and deep thoughts. In the trailer of

, Feng Suige has a handsome appearance and looks very noble in his gorgeous clothes.

Especially the way Feng Suige looked at Fu Yixiao was full of tenderness and affection.

Chen Zheyuan's ancient costume is quite eye-catching. This calm and youthful character fits perfectly with Chen Zheyuan's appearance.

ranked third, Chen Heyi.

Although Chen Heyi is a "midway monk" actor, he has also given the audience a lot of surprises.

In "华年", he plays Su Rongqing, who is gentle and delicate, and can be said to be as gentle as jade.

And in the new drama. Xia Jingshi, played by Chen Heyi, has a completely different style. Although his appearance is still online, his temperament is a bit gloomy.

I believe that Chen Heyi can also surprise the audience with his appearance in the new drama.

ranked fourth, Xia Meng.

In " West of Yumen " and "City within the City", Xia Meng, a post-00s young flower, showed great potential.

And her bright and elegant appearance is also quite suitable for ancient costumes. In

's new drama, Xia Meng plays Feng Xiyang, whose name should be Feng Suige's sister. There is no footage of this character in the trailer, but it still leaves a surprise for the audience.

Xia Meng’s performance in the new drama is worth looking forward to.

The overall cast of this drama is not weak, and the actors and roles are well suited. I believe that as long as they perform normally, the upper limit of this drama is immeasurable.

03 Conclusion

If "Smile and Sing" wants to stand out among the crowd of costume dramas, it must look at these points.

The dual characters of the male and female protagonists in the drama allow them to play an equally important role in the plot, and the female protagonist does not have to deliberately reduce her intelligence and become a tool to set off the male protagonist.

also uses strategy as the main axis to intersperse the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists, which also gets rid of the problem of the emotional lines dominating the plot in ordinary ancient puppets.

Therefore, as long as this "Smile and Sing" is aired normally, it is expected to become a dark horse in domestic costume dramas.
