How to shoot ancient puppet dramas that are most likely to become hits?

In my opinion, there are mainly these categories. The first is the fairy tale. The previous " Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom " and the two years of "Canglan Jue" have confirmed the unshakable status of the fairy tale theme in ancient puppets. .

The second is the suspense theme. " Under the Brocade Clothes" and " Royal Gift Xiaodu Works " all rely on detective elements to break out of the siege and have a huge reputation.

There is also a category of revenge themes such as "Story of Yanxi Palace" and " Mo Yuyunjian ", which have also gained a lot of popularity.

However, for these themes, if they are shot well, they will surpass the classics. If they are not shot well, they will become a parody, which will be very boring for the audience.

Can there be another drama that makes people shine in the ancient puppet drama? Of course

does! " Evernight Galaxy " has been broadcast for 5 days, and the number of views exceeded 170 million in one fell swoop.

Not only is the popularity of this drama steadily rising, but it also has a pretty good reputation, with many five-star reviews on Douban.

Is "Eternal Night Galaxy" really so beautiful? After watching the feature film, I just want to say that the popularity and reputation of this drama are well-deserved, and it will definitely not disappoint the audience.

01 Plot: Time-travel setting, humorous atmosphere, plot twists

"Eternal Night Galaxy" is adapted from the novel "Black Lotus Strategy Manual", telling the story of a migrant worker Ling Miaomiao ( Yu Shuxin ) who accidentally traveled into the parallel world of the novel , becoming the vicious female supporting character Lin Yu in the book.

In order to complete the task and return to the real world, Ling Miaomiao embarked on an adventure journey to catch monsters and punish evil with Mu Sheng (Ding Yuxi), Mu Yao (Zhu Xudan), and Liu Fuyi.

Two settings in this drama caught my attention immediately.

The first is the upgrade of the book-traveling system.

The audience has seen the time-travel setting, but after time-travel, there is no way to reduce the dimensionality to attack other people. Instead, it is bound to the system. This is the first time I have seen it.

In the play, Ling Miaomiao traveled to the novel and was told by the system that she could only go back after completing the main mission of killing the resentful girl and the secret mission. Then she was issued a message to marry Liu Fuyi to attract the Mirror Demon ( Chen Duling ) task.

Ling Miaomiao, who turned a deaf ear, was struck to death by lightning as soon as she walked out of the door. Even when she was complaining about the system, a meteorite fell from the sky and smashed her "rebellious bones", so she started the task honestly.

First, there was the thrilling capture of the mirror demon, and then there was the need to change Mu Yao's medicine in front of the "sister control" Mu Sheng, and also to burn Mu Yao's magic weapon, and this was only a task in Novice Village.

The setting of the book-traveling system can promote the plot through its instructions. Therefore, the plot of this drama is compact, fast-paced, and full of laughs. It fully utilizes the advantages of the book-traveling system.

The second is an alternative cp mutual strategy.

No matter what the setting of the ancient puppet drama is, the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is a highlight, and this drama is a bit special.

In the play, Ling Miaomiao left the Novice Village and was told that the secret mission was to conquer "Black Lotus" Mu Sheng, and at this time, Mu Sheng's favorability towards her was negative 200.

Mu Sheng believed that Ling Miaomiao had framed her sister Mu Yao and had impure motives for pretending to be good to her, so she was very disgusted with her. Ling Miaomiao, the "straight girl of steel", even couldn't think of how to conquer others, and played chess with Mu Sheng's forehead. The sensitivity plummeted.

Their relationship did not ease until Ling Miaomiao helped Mu Sheng make up for her childhood regrets.

And the process of Ling Miaomiao's victory over Mu Sheng was also the process of her own gradual decline. This kind of joyful daily life and the life of unconscious healing are infinitely sweeter than industrial saccharine.

This drama uses a novel setting to attract attention, and uses a humorous and healing plot to retain the audience. In addition to the "road movie" of the monster catching team, the drama also has a very touching depiction of family lines.

If there are any new tricks in ancient puppet dramas from now on, let them be based on this standard!

02 Actors: good looks online, fitting the characters

A solid script guarantees the lower limit of the plot, and raising the upper limit of the plot is inseparable from the performance of the actors in the play. In this play, every role is Quite attentive.

ranked first, Ding Yuxi.

Ding Yuxi is considered one of the current traffic niches with great potential, and costume dramas are a field he is familiar with, from " Rumored Chen Qianqian" to "Dali Temple Shaoqing Tour" to "Chang Le Qu" , Ding Yuxi’s performance in the play is very eye-catching.

Whether he is a dashing and proud young man or a steady and restrained powerful minister, Ding Yuxi's acting skills do not make anyone look uncomfortable at all.

In the new drama, Mu Sheng, played by Ding Yuxi, is even more outstanding. Her high ponytail looks full of youthfulness, and the fluttering golden hairband is the finishing touch.

In the play, Mu Sheng, who was originally dissatisfied with his sister Mu Yao's closeness to Ling Miaomiao, heard that he was about to apologize to Ling Miaomiao. His eyes widened in shock, and then he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and apologized with an annoyed look on his face.

The character Mu Sheng is a bit of a middle-class character in the play, and Ding Yuxi nailed the character's personality just right.

second place, Yu Shuxin.

After her role as Xiao Lanhua in "The Secret of Blue" became popular, Yu Shuxin's evaluation was somewhat polarized, but Yu Shuxin had a good eye for selecting scripts and could always find the most suitable role.

For example, Cai Minmin in "The Next Stop Is Happiness" and Chu Li in "Moonlight Variations" can play such cute and arrogant characters without being greasy, which is quite rare.

In the new drama, Ling Miaomiao played by Yu Shuxin is another such character, smart, lively, kind and smart.

In the play, Ling Miaomiao didn't want to change the plot of the original book, but she couldn't bear to die and didn't save her. She frowned and wanted to calm down.

Ling Miaomiao’s little expression makes the character more vivid. This role is perfect for Yu Shuxin.

ranked third, Chen Duling.

The costume dramas Chen Duling has appeared in in recent years have all been very out of the ordinary. In "Long Moon Ember", "Lotus Tower" and the still updated " Dream Return ", Chen Duling's appearance is more... Tends to be dignified and cool.

However, the look of the mirror demon played by Chen Duling in the new drama has gone to the other extreme.

The mirror demon in the play has a very gorgeous appearance. The gold hairpin and gold foil on his face echo the gold on the red robe. He is not as cold as before. He has a careless smile on his face, which gives him a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Chen Duling's performance in this drama is quite surprising.

The fourth place is national first-class actor Song Jialun.

There is no doubt about Song Jialun's strength. Although Song Jialun did not have many roles in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses" and "The Road of Life", his performance in the dramas was impressive.

In the new drama, Song Jialun plays Lin Yu's father Lin Lushan, a county guard who is devoted to the people and a father who loves his daughter. In the play, after listening to Ling Miaomiao's dream experience, his eyes were filled with distress.

Song Jialun's acting skills in this drama are still quite stable.

In addition, there are also actors such as Bao Jianfeng, Wang Xiaochen, Xu Haiqiao in the play. There are many actors familiar to the audience in the play, and I believe they can contribute to a wonderful group drama.

03 Conclusion

"Eternal Night Star" should be the most surprising ancient puppet show this year. The plot of

is unique. There are no similar routines, nor is it full of house fights and revenge. Instead, it depicts a healing story about growth and redemption with the help of the setting of the book.

As a drama with a strong fantasy color, everything from makeup to special effects is very exquisite, completely in line with the characteristics of the characters.

believes that as long as this drama maintains this pace, its subsequent popularity and ratings will reach new highs.
