Can this year's hit puppet show still happen?
The summer schedules occupied by " Meng Hua Lu " and " Sauvignon Blanc " in previous years are quite sluggish this year. Not only is the popularity and reputation of " Sauvignon Blanc 2" far less than that of the first one, but the response to the ancient puppet dramas " willow boat story " and "The Year of the Flower" has also been mediocre.

Even if " Flowing Water Far Away " relies on Ren Jialun's popularity, there will be no splash. "Seven Nights of Snow", "Spring Flower Flame", " Splendid Peace " and "Big Dream Return", which were aired successively in October, also have their own shortcomings.

The "law of hits" of ancient puppet dramas seems to have failed this year, and it is almost impossible to find a true hit.

Seeing that there are only more than two months left in 2024, is there really no ancient puppet drama that can reverse the situation? Of course

is not!

"Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain" has been officially announced and will be broadcast on pants on November 1. It seems that it will be a head-on "fight" with "Eternal Night Star" to be broadcast on the same day as Goose Factory.

The plot of this drama has ups and downs, and the atmosphere is passionate and inspiring. After watching the trailer, I want to say that it depends on whether this year's ancient puppet drama can make a comeback.

01 Plot: The ups and downs of the business world

"Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain" tells the story of the pearl diver Duanwu (played by Zhao Lusi) who could not bear the humiliation and escaped from the pearl quarry, and met the caravan of the Western Region merchant Yan Zijing (played by Liu Yuning), but he Because of being involved in the mystery of Yan Zijing, everyone betrayed their relatives and separated.

Duanwu changed his name to Su Muzhe, single-handedly found out the truth, and gained a place in the jewelry industry with his talent.

This drama incorporates elements such as revenge, business, and intrigue. Among them, there are two highlights that are worth looking forward to.

First, the heroine redeems herself.

Ancient puppet dramas centered on heroines are not uncommon in recent years. However, some heroines seek revenge and gain love, while others are involved in emotional entanglements.

The heroine in this drama is on the verge of death and is busy saving herself.

In the play, Duanwu was enslaved in the Hepu Pearl Farm. She was beaten and tortured in water, but she fought for a chance of survival for herself and successfully escaped.

But she thought that after the mystery of her life was revealed, the life she longed for was just around the corner, but she didn't want her beloved to betray her and her loved ones to die tragically. But Dragon Boat Festival did not recover after a setback, nor was it blinded by hatred.

She emerged in Yangzhou with her knowledge of jewelry and built her own business. In the process, she teamed up with Zhang Jinran (Tang Xiaotian) to clear up the old case, and she became the well-deserved leader of the Yangzhou jewelry store.

This drama takes the Dragon Boat Festival experience as the main axis. The harder it is, the more you can feel the value of the Dragon Boat Festival's persistence and perseverance.

Second, the market is in turmoil.

The main plot of this drama is the growth of the heroine, and the heroine’s main task is to do business. This is also the most exciting part of the drama.

In the play, Duanwu wanted to stay in Yangzhou, but was indifferently blocked by Yan Zijing. Especially after she gained a foothold, the two had several confrontations.

Duanwu worked hard to establish Mirror Station, but some people were concerned about it, and shopping malls are like battlefields. Duanwu kicked out the troublemakers, and then became a big creditor of other merchants, taking the initiative in his own hands. in hand.

The ups and downs of the shopping mall are also difficult to guard against. The competition between several forces in the shopping mall and the love and death between Yan Zijing and Su Muzhe are also eye-catching.

And the setting like this drama is the real heroine. The various elements in the drama are blended just right, with both passion and warmth.

02 Cast: Zhao Lusi leads the cast, and the cast is not weak.

This drama not only has a meaningful plot, but the casting is also very careful. Every actor fits the role just right.

ranked first, Zhao Lusi.

As a popular traffic flower, Zhao Lusi rose to prominence with the movie "The Rumored Chen Qianqian of ".

She is extremely familiar with costume dramas, and her performance in "The Star is Bright" and " Long Song Xing " has also won the love of many audiences.

In the new drama, the appearance of Dragon Boat Festival played by Zhao Lusi is somewhat similar to that in "Long Song Xing", but the appearance in this drama is even more stunning. In the

trailer, Dragon Boat Festival is dressed in red, which is exquisite and luxurious, and the facial features are even more bright.

In the play, the plainly dressed Dragon Boat Festival cannot hide the spirit of his body. His eyes are very firm, with some confidence that has experienced the world.

Judging from the trailer, choosing Zhao Lusi as the main heroine is undoubtedly the right decision.

second place, Liu Yuning.

Liu Yuning's roles in "Ultimate Notes" and "Who is the Hero?" have won the love of many audiences. However, his role as Ning Yuanzhou in "One Thought Off the Mountain" caused quite a bit of controversy.

Right now he needs a work to prove himself, and this drama is an excellent opportunity. In

's new drama, Liu Yuning plays Yan Zijing. He is burdened with hatred and is somewhat gloomy and cold.

Yan Zijing has a cold temperament and is quite aggressive. In the trailer, he stares at the Dragon Boat Festival with a calm posture and a nonchalant expression. The setting of the character

fits Liu Yuning very well. I hope he can seize this opportunity to restore his reputation.

ranked third, Tang Xiaotian.

Tang Xiaotian is also a young actor with great potential. He has appeared in "He Came from the Fire" and " The Legend of Yunxiang ", and his handsome appearance is quite suitable for roles such as literary talents. Akira.

In the new drama, Tang Xiaotian plays Zhang Jinran, who has a deep love for the Dragon Boat Festival. In the

trailer, Zhang Jinran looked at Duanwu who was in jail, with heartache and intolerance in his eyes, but he was helpless.

Tang Xiaotian’s performance in this drama is worth looking forward to.

ranks fourth, Gao Shuguang.

Gao Shuguang must be familiar to the audience. The Fan Jian he played in " Celebrating More Than Years " is definitely one of the most outstanding characters in the play. This shows how accurate Gao Shuguang's interpretation of this role is.

In addition to this role, his performances in "Everyday Life" and "The Story of Rose" are also impressive. The role played by Gao Shuguang in

's new drama is not yet clear, but the role given to him should not be a small role, and his role in the drama may be crucial.

And if such a role is given to an experienced actor like Gao Shuguang, the audience does not have to worry at all.

In addition, there are also actors such as Gao Lu, Xie Keyin, and Cheng Lei in the play. I believe they can give surprising performances in the play.

03 Conclusion

These ancient puppet dramas that have frequently failed in the domestic drama market this year have similar problems. The audience has seen a lot of routines such as

's house fighting counterattack and fairy sadomasochism, and the settings in the play are like copying and pasting, with childhood sweethearts, long-term love, and destiny.

The audience will be able to think of the ending after watching two episodes. There is nothing new. Although either old is bad or new is good, classic routines cannot be shot reasonably. It is better to change the perspective to give the audience some freshness.

And this "Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain" is that new dish worth tasting.

believes that once this drama is launched, it is expected to become the biggest dark horse in the domestic drama market this year.
