"Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" premiered, the story is very strong, but based on illusion, the whole drama is weak

On the evening of September 27, the TV series " Tang Dynasty Weird Stories " was launched on the genuine video platform for 6 episodes. There are no well-known actors in this TV series, so there is no need to spend a lot of money on actors' remuneration. Therefore, it can save a lot of money and actually use it in production. Based on the content of the online episodes, the production of "Story of the Tang Dynasty" is relatively well-made, which is worthy of praise. It is feasible to ask less or no traffic, and spend the money on production.

Judging from the stories that have been broadcast, the big story at the beginning of this TV series is still relatively good. The way of the two male protagonists, telling the story to the audience along the clues of handling the case, is also easy to bring the audience into the plot. In terms of suspenseful content, "Story of the Tang Dynasty" likes a multi-line narrative, putting many suspense points to the audience at the same time, and answering them slowly. These are all desirable and able to attract the audience.

's settings like East City, , West City, and Ghost City are not very new. No way, Di Renjie's series of movies and TV dramas are all over the Internet, and the concept of Chang'an City has been played to rot. Therefore, when these contents appear again in the "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories", everyone may think that this is the wisdom of picking up people's teeth. Especially the setting of the ghost city does not have a sense of horror-because the audience is already too familiar with this content. The opening plot of

"Story of the Tang Dynasty", starting from the third episode, there is a relatively obvious trend of story sinking, and the reason is simple, the villains on the surface began to appear, and began to fight with the two male protagonists. At this point, the taste of this TV series has become much lighter. And behind the so-called villain, there must be a bigger conspiracy, which is well used in Di Renjie's series of film and television dramas, especially the conspiracy finally points to the emperor, queen, princess and the like. This is not new.

"The Story of the Tang Dynasty" can be seen as a normal TV series, and it can be seen. However, if you want to watch this drama as a high-quality drama, it is almost meaningless. Why? Because excellent suspense dramas need suspense design based on real scenes. That is to say, all the suspenseful buttons will ultimately have to be answered in the real scene. Like "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories", illusions are often created at every turn. It seems to be more interesting, but in fact, the power of suspense is weakened.

For example, in the opening plot, a man who doesn't believe in evil directly uses a sword to hack a black cat, and a big beauty comes out, and then he drowns himself in the pond. Hula, hula, as soon as the illusion came out, the suspenseful quality of this TV series weakened. How the black cat became a big beauty is very suspicious in itself, but the explanation given by the play is an illusion. This gives the audience a "you're kidding me" feeling. This is the same as the ending of "dream" in the theater suspense thriller - it is purely discriminating against the aesthetic IQ of audiences and fans.

is a really good-looking suspense drama that doesn't require illusions or dreams. On the other hand, in the "Story of the Tang Dynasty", the content similar to illusion exists in a large area. Especially in the main line stalks, the content of "Changan Black Tea", at the beginning of the game, can make the audience guess what is behind, but it is just something that can make people hallucinate. The use of this kind of illusion is a very big taboo in the film and television dramas with the theme of ancient costumes. Because it's too much like joking with the audience.

If it weren't for Di Renjie's series of fantasy, suspense, and investigation-related film and television dramas in the past few years, then "The Story of Tang Dynasty" can certainly scare a lot of audiences. However, looking at the past ten years, there have been too many movies and TV series in Di Renjie's series, such as illusions, jokes, etc., all of them are investigating cases in Chang'an City, and they are all behind the real murderers, as well as the royal family. the real murderer. This kind of story is too popular. The "Story of Tang Dynasty" is not outstanding.

especially said in the play that the male protagonist is Di Renjie's disciple. This kind of setting, which appears continuously in the form of lines in the play, gives the audience a feeling of rubbing against Di Renjie's enthusiasm. TV series, the most afraid of, is the same. The biggest feature of this TV series is that it is similar to the previous Di Renjie series of film and television dramas. The large-scale use of illusion seems to be a lot of bizarre, but it is not very interesting, which has caused the weakness of the entire TV series.

also said something about acting. The two male protagonists, one called Yang Xuwen and the other called Yang Zhigang, both passed the test in terms of acting skills. The advantage of not using traffic actors is that in the entire TV series, no one is short of acting skills. In the past, as long as there was a video platform involved in this type of film and television drama, it must be to find two traffic stars to star, and then stir up the CP. And this one doesn't. In the past, traffic stars often became the weak point of acting, which made the whole TV series unwatchable. On the level of

, I am willing to give a thumbs up to "Story of the Tang Dynasty". Although, I am too familiar with the number of TV dramas like this. In the past ten years, this type of film and television drama has been watched every month, and I don't think it is new anymore. I believe that there are still a lot of audiences who think this kind of approach is fresh. Therefore, there should be no shortage of viewers for "Story of the Tang Dynasty". (Text / Ma Qingyun)
