Costume drama "Lost Pearl": "The Wind in Langya List", a masterpiece with far-reaching ideas

Everyone scolded

for bad dramas, and the classics will always be passed down. Seven years ago, at noon Sunshine used " Langya Bang " to set off an upsurge in costume dramas, which indirectly led to a rebound in the reputation of domestic dramas. Seven years later, "Langya Bang" still exudes super strong long tail effect . On the

​​Yunhe hit index list, "Langya List" and " Know Whether ", " Zhen Huan Biography ", " Celebrating More Than Years " are the four famous "nail households". In terms of real-time results, many new dramas are also far behind. The influence of the national IP

​​has not faded for seven years, and it has also allowed the producer to see its potential for sustainable excavation. In the past two years, it has been repeatedly reported that Noon Sunshine will restart " Langya Bang 3", and there are also new news on the Internet. The setting of the story.

​​Judging from the news on the Internet, "Langya Bang 3" continues the dual-male protagonist model of the IP core, but the protagonist's identity is completely separated from the royal family, focusing on power officials and generals, which should be a combination of literary and military.

​​gather together to make ancient puppets in ancient costume dramas, and the power and traditional costume dramas are gradually "disappearing", the audience is looking forward to the appearance of "Langya Bang 3", hoping that it will enrich the types of domestic dramas, and also expect it to reignite the wave of power conspiracy . The first film of

​​was a god, and it has been unforgettable by the audience for seven years. The third film is ready to go, and it is highly expected by netizens. and influence.

​​However, this IP that has received much attention has an existence that many netizens have ignored: " The Wind in Langya List Changlin " , the second work in the series, Douban word of mouth 8 points +, the market response is not Very bland. When

​​started broadcasting, it neither surpassed the previous work nor became the blockbuster work of the year. After the end, the number of mentions and the number of feature films were far less brilliant than the first one. Even many viewers regretted that there was a second part in the series. Is

​​the work is not good enough? The word-of-mouth of " Wind Rising Changlin " was really polarized when it was launched, but the final score remained at 8 points+, which is enough to prove its quality. The success of

's previous work is ahead, and the sequel is mixed. The success of

"Langya Bang" has made this IP strong, and it has also made the sequel "The Wind Rises the Long Forest" popular since its preparation, providing it with more than ordinary new dramas. Excellent basic conditions, with an explosive physique.

​​But at that time, the domestic film and television industry also had a curse: the more the sequel was made, the worse it was.

​​Regardless of Qiong Yao's old drama "Returning the Pearl 3", the Noon Sunshine " Ode to Joy 2", and the historical drama "Da Qin Fu" (the final chapter of the Da Qin Empire series), the reputation has declined sharply, and the unattractive sequel once became an inherent impression of the audience.

​​In this case, the audience is looking forward to the release of "Langya Bang 2", and on the other hand, they are worried that the sequel will destroy the reputation. They can't help but have stricter requirements for "The Wind Rises and the Long Forest", and their tolerance for "defects" is also reduced. .

​​The "problem" that affected the first wave of word-of-mouth in "The Wind Rises, Changlin" started from the casting.

​​When the audience found out that "The Wind Rises and the Long Forest" is not the original cast, and the story is about the people who came after the first character, they felt a sense of loss, and they were quite critical of Langya Bang's changing the protagonist but not changing the name.

Huang Xiaoming's 's performance made the sequel even more disliked. At that time, he lost his popularity because of his addiction to the Mary Su idol drama. Many viewers were very dissatisfied with him becoming the new male protagonist of "Langya Bang", thinking that the production direction was a compromise of capital.

​​Facts have proved that Huang Xiaoming is very reliable as long as he calms down and acts, but the word-of-mouth consumed by excessive acting in bad dramas requires more efforts to fully recover. If

​​wants to wear the crown, it must bear its weight. The title of the sequel to Fengshen IP must be subject to stricter inspection. The casting of "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" obviously failed to withstand the strict requirements of the audience. Dissuade a lot of old fans. After the launch of

, netizens will also subconsciously compare it with the first one.If it is found that it is not as good as the previous work, the disappointment value will double and soar. It can be said that "The Wind Rises" has become an IP influence, and a defeat is also an IP influence.

​​But aside from the halo of Langya, open "The Long Forest" with the attitude of facing a brand new work, you will find that the content quality of this work is not inferior to the previous work, and it is even more worth watching in the eyes of many loyal audiences.

's profound ideas and touching feelings

's first work of "Langya Bang" focuses on revenge and tricks, telling the game between emperors and courtiers, and interspersed with moving elements such as loyalty, righteousness, and affection. The promotion of national justice is the main line.

​​interprets the contribution of loyal ministers to the country from the experience of two generations of leaders in the Changlin Army. They are brave and resourceful, but also forbearance and concessions. There is a proposition in the story that has a strong sense of existence. Between ministers and emperors, there is absolute trust?

​​Emperor Liang ( Liu Jun ) and the elder Lin Wang Xiao Tingsheng ( Sun Chun) are brothers and sisters, these two are characters who have experienced Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyan , and they have inherited the legacy of their ancestors , Brothers, friends and brothers, the ruler and the minister are single-minded.

​​The relationship and trust between the two are as stable as Mount Tai, but almost no one on the sidelines believed it. The queen felt that the emperor favored Changlin Wang's family was confused.

​​Are their worries warranted? Throughout history, it is very necessary. The power of the generals is too great. Once the imperial court is weak, An Lushan can be given to you in minutes, and even Zhao Kuangyin with a yellow robe.

​​But if you don't trust your ministers, and take precautions everywhere, will there be any good results?

Han Wudi The lethality of indiscriminate suspicion in his later years is still written in history. The fuse of the first red flame tragedy in "Langya Bang" also started from the emperor's suspicion. foundation.

​​"The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" builds an idealized relationship between the ruler and the minister. From the beginning to the end, the old elder King Lin and Emperor Liang did not have any quarrels under the instigation of many parties. The two sentences of "elder brother" before Emperor Liang's death made the audience Instant tears.

​​The emperor has never forgotten his true feelings because of power, and his courtiers have never shaken their loyalty because of power. It is precisely because of their absolute trust and mutual support that they have given Daliang a good time to rest and overcome foreign enemies.

​​After the death of Emperor Liang, his relatives pushed out the generals, and everyone played tricks before the little emperor grew up, which led to the suppression and misunderstanding of King Changlin's lineage, and the old King Lin was indirectly mad. .

​​In the opinion of Xun Baishui and others, without the powerful generals, the little emperor can stabilize the throne, but the sudden changes occur suddenly, foreign enemies invade, internal rebellion, and the unstable emperor becomes a prisoner in minutes.

​​What makes the country better in the end is always concerted efforts, not conspiracy calculations between monarchs and ministers, ministers and ministers. In the first part of

, Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan worked hand in hand, and they jointly maintained the foundation of Daliang; the foundation for the protagonist group in the second part to turn defeat into victory is Xiao Pingjing and Changlin Jun's family and country, loyalty and protection.

​​The machinist was instantly crushed in front of the righteousness of the family and the country. "The Long Forest" uses machinations and tricks to evoke the feelings of the righteousness of the family and the country, and uses the complexity of human nature to set off the greatness of loyalty.

The grand pattern and the intriguing character

Chang Lin Yiyong abides by the righteousness of the family and the country, and Emperor Liang inherited and learned to trust, so Xun Baishui and other officials who constantly encouraged the emperor to guard against heroes are villains who only know how to stir up troubled waters?

​​is not. As mentioned earlier in Chapter Seven, the idea of ​​"The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" is very moving, but it is also an idealistic relationship between monarch and minister. In the finale, Xiao Pingjing gathered a lot of prestige with a single call. It's hard to be jealous.

​​This is also the key to Xiao Pingjing's final choice to return to the mountains and forests.

​​He and the old Changlin King are both innocent, but "Changlin's sin is in the future", no one can guarantee that the next Changlin King will always be loyal, and no one can guarantee that the next emperor will always be Mingjun.

​​"The Wind Rises in the Forest" respects the ideal pattern of the ruler and his ministers, and also praises the greatness of loyal ministers, good generals and wise monarchs. At the same time, it also integrates the complexity of human nature and power structure into it, giving the audience an inspiration and reflection.

​​Xun Baishui almost harmed Daliang, but he was not a traitor. His loyalty to the emperor was not inferior to the lineage of Changlin, and his scruples were not nonsense.

​​How to make loyal ministers not indulge in internal friction, this is a potential proposition posed by "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest", and it is also the answer to Xiao Pingjing's return. Both are equally important.

​​To a certain extent, "The Wind Rises The Long Forest" is a sublimated version of "Langya Bang". The idea and pattern of the story are more stunning to the audience. The more the plot is scrutinized, the more moving it is. excellent work.

​​However, the failure of "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" was not only affected by some external factors, but also had a certain relationship with the narrative style of the story. This work has advantages and disadvantages in the dramatic treatment. The works of

​​started with four or two jins. It seems that the progress is slow, but it is actually interlocking, which is very brilliant, such as the Donghai Zhujiao case.

​​A bead glue will explain the various forces. On the bright side, it is Mrs. Laiyangtai who used the queen's hand to assassinate the sons of the Changlin Prince's Mansion, which led to the discord between the Queen and the Changlin Prince's Mansion. Mrs. Laiyangtai's resentment and the East China Sea forces behind it .

​​secretly has two layers of reversal, one is that the queen is not a scapegoat, but pushes her hands quietly; The eldest son fights for power. The plot of

​​is revealed layer by layer, and there are a lot of dry goods. The screenwriter Haiyan is obviously more mature than the first in terms of layout planning, but she also made a mistake that affects the look and feel: the main line is slightly fragmented.

​​Drama audiences want to quickly grasp the main line of the story. This is the first part of "Langya Bang" which did a good job. At the beginning, it pointed out the main line of Mei Changsu's return to revenge after many years, and the audience instantly got what the screenwriter wanted to say.

​​"The Wind Rises Changlin" is relatively scattered. The screenwriters step by step pushed the Changlin line into an isolated and helpless situation, and the essence of the main line was completely exposed, which made the audience feel a little slow in the early stage.

​​In addition, the design of some details also relies too much on coincidence, which affects the audience experience to a certain extent. For example, Xun Feizhan , who is the first in force value, always loses the chain due to various coincidences at a critical moment, which once caused drama fans to complain.

's lack of fullness of villains is also the place where "The Wind Rises and the Long Forest" lowers the score. Xie Yu, Xia Jiang, , and Liang Di in the first season are all full of characters, but the second season's big BOSS Xiao Yuanqi is not. Very bright, the behavioral logic is relatively thin.

​​But the flaws do not hide the flaws. Putting aside the contrast with the previous work and the influence of the casting, just looking at "The Wind Rises in the Forest" as a new drama, you can also reap the moving and be attracted by the charm of the story that is not eroded by time. . It is a pity that a work like

​​has been affected by small "defects" both inside and outside. It's actually a pity. For audiences who like traditional costume dramas and have no new dramas to follow, you might as well watch it again, I believe you won't be disappointed.
