After waiting for a long time, the small screen finally ushered in the special stage of costumes. The drama "Crane Huating", directed by Yang Wenjun, starring Luo Jin, Li Yitong, and Liu Dekai, Huang Zhizhong and many other old actors, officially launched.
As a TV series adapted from a popular IP, "Crane Huating" is new to Qihua, because it is a rare piece of Qihua that has not seen the original work. However, the lineup of luxurious cast of "Crane Huating" initially did not generate high expectations for Qihua, because it is difficult to produce high-quality costume dramas with male-oriented perspectives.
Thesmall screen has been accumulated over the years, and only "Langya Bang" has achieved the perfect combination of heaviness and appreciation, achieving a double harvest of word-of-mouth results. Although many subsequent tactics were produced with great care, the plot processing was too gentle to make it difficult for the audience to maintain long-term enthusiasm, and most of them were textured but not attractive enough.
However, I watched the seven episodes of "Crane Huating" with a glance, but after watching the 5 episode updates in one breath, the whole process was completely emotionally mobilized, sometimes sweating from the plot, sometimes crying because of the character's sadness.
keeps reversing, and the brain-burning plot traps the audience
The first five episodes of "Crane Huating" are not inferior to "Langya Bang", but they are different from the style of the latter in that the former focuses on brain burning. The plot is always full of tension similar to a reasoning drama. The screenwriter is quite fond of the inversion setting, and used it in the first confrontation between the pros and the cons.
The eldest son of the emperor Qi Wang, in order to frame the prince, seduce the court lady Wu Neiren who was in love with him, and asked her to throw down the sentence of crusade against the prince from the tower when the prince was crowned. A straightforward conspiracy was originally defeated under the halo of the male lead, but after being polished by the screenwriter, the "failure" was also unpredictable by the audience.
because there were five reversals before and after this duel.
is the first reversal. Zhang Shangfu, played by Hao Lei, heard King Qi conspired. She, who had been favored by the prince, passed the news to the other party. Therefore, the prince used his plan and deliberately described King Qi's plan as a gift during the ceremony, and invited everyone to watch the Wu Nei people drop the crusades for a moment. King Qi was at a disadvantage.
The second reversal, Wu Neiren did not drop the crusade, but Zhang Shangfu fell from the tower with a suicide note exposing the Prince's intention to frame King Qi. It turned out that after Zhang Shangfu informed the prince, he was threatened by the king of Qi and betrayed the prince. At this time, the prince became an archery target.
In the third reversal, the prince found out the original text of the crusade written by the king of Qi himself, and countered the king of Qi.
In the fourth reversal, the original text of the crusade was blank. At the same time, the Wu Nei people were "killed" and the prince's evidence was lost.
In the fifth reversal, the Prince Chaotang pleaded guilty and was attacked by the Qi Wang faction. After discovering that the emperor had not protected himself as agreed, he took out the key witness, Wu Neiren. It turned out that the prince knew that the crusade was a blank paper and was the first step to save the Wu Neiren. The court directly attacked the Qi Wang faction that was originally mean to him in silence.
Five reversals to see the story heartily, and can't guess the plot direction, it is too tempting.
This new way of presenting tactics also perfectly solves the problem that male tactics dramas are prone to boring and lengthy. The audience is constantly switching between surprises and worried emotions in one reversal, and they are involuntarily "trapped" by the plot.
The emotions in the strategy game, the "cry-loving" male protagonist is even more worried
The story begins. The screenwriter borrowed the remonstrance of the Tai Fu Lu Shiyu to the emperor as a guide to clearly set the background and relationship of the characters in front of the audience. With the prince as the center, the roles are divided into the three-party camp of relatives and Confucian officials who support the prince, the king of Qi and party feathers who covet the position of the prince, and the emperor who has ambiguous feelings for the prince.
Luo Jin's Xiao Dingquan is a very aggrieved crown prince. His biological mother died young, his brother looked eagerly at him, and his father's face could hardly be written directly with the word "eccentric". Because the emperor’s preference for King Qi, the eldest son of the emperor, was too straightforward, the game between him and the prince became clear, and there was no false sentiment between the two, and the confrontation was about to start.
This relationship betweenled to a battle that was quickly cut in at the beginning, and at the same time introduced another highlight of the play: the emotional desire of the right center, .
The characterXiao Dingquan can be described as a child who lacks love. His father's extreme eccentricity created his pain and confusion. He longs to be loved and will cherish fromThe young master who taught him pays much attention to his uncle and cousin who has been protecting him, and will constantly test the emperor's sincerity towards him.
The many reversals in the game between him and the king of Qi are largely to test whether the emperor really valued him. As the prince on the cloud, he had to carefully ask for warmth from his father, which was quite worrying for the audience.
It is also rare forto appear in family ethics dramas with special family bonds, but this bond unexpectedly fits the plot very well, not only does not have a sense of violation, but also becomes a weapon to mobilize the audience's emotions. Because many people have felt the feeling of not being pampered, to some extent, he has reached empathy with the audience.
Xiao Dingquan’s uncontrollable tears of grievances aroused empathy from the audience, and at the same time stimulated the audience’s desire for protection, laying the best opportunity for love. After all, everyone who lacks family warmth hopes to find a supply in love. The best gift to Xiao Dingquan is a love to make up for the scars.
Therefore, the heroine Lu Wenxi took advantage of the trend. This relationship line has a lot of early scenes, but it is "beautiful" from the inside out.
met for the first time, she said to him eagerly to save her brother:
There is no power to protect people, don’t you?
In one sentence, Xiao Dingquan was hurt in the straight, and Qihua had foreseen that they would do their best to protect each other's direction in the future.
This time, I am looking forward to the early opening of the relationship line.
The detailed portrayal, delicate touch
Reversal is a weapon to improve the experience of watching a drama. Resonant emotions are the basis for the audience's recognition, and what makes them more attractive is the careful portrayal of details in "Crane Huating". When the film flowers of this drama were released, the audience had already seen Fu Hua Dao's intentions, and this overhead background contained many dynasty artistic charms.
But the excellent details of "Crane Huating" are not only in the intuitive way of persuasion, but also in the supplementary expression of the plot. For example, Gu Silin, the uncle of the country, played by Liu Dekai, wears armor inside and outer uniform when he enters the palace to rescue the prince who begged the emperor in heavy snow.
This is a game between him and the emperor, the purpose is to let the emperor find him wearing armor, with a forbearing threat. This dress was originally able to retreat after a successful game with the emperor, but after successful "negotiation" Gu Silin took off the regular dress and put it on the prince.
The finishing touch ofnot only represents his defense of the prince, but also implies that he is the prince’s protective shell.
Another excellent detail supplement. In Xiao Dingquan and Taifu Lu Shiyu's emotional portrayal of his master, the prince cautiously held the warmth brought to him by the teacher. Even if Lu Shiyu tried to avoid it because of the differences between monarchs and ministers, he was reluctant to let go . The teacher-student relationship between the two brings a lot of softness to this male plot drama.
But this setting is not only to open a tearful "feeling line", the most important thing is to highlight the lack of Xiao Dingquan's father's love. What is missing, what is more valued, his hurt will be stronger when he loses this warmth. Each portrayal is actually to fully present the heart of the male protagonist to the audience, delicate and moving.
These supplements are reasonable and reasonable, and they also make the charm of the show more powerful, very ingenious.
However, the future direction of "Crane Huating" will also test the screenwriter's ability.
Because from the current point of view, Xiao Dingquan’s pitiful child's script must at least embark on most of the plot. In the current atmosphere where the audience is keen on cool dramas, how to properly release the tragedy of the male lead being framed and suppressed, so that the audience's watching experience will not always be in a wronged state, and the screenwriter needs to make a good balance.
is very much looking forward to how the screenwriter will balance this sentiment in the future, and also look forward to "Crane Huating" to maintain the quality of the first five episodes. If the screenwriter is consistently excellent, then "Crane Huating" will surely be the best conspiracy drama of 2019, and it will even bring more surprises.
