The much-anticipated "Legend of Sword and Fairy 4" has finally appeared. After 13 years of waiting, is it the excitement of reliving old dreams or the disappointment that sticks in your throat? Does this grand project, which claims to cost 300 million, really live up to the old saying "the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment"?
I think back then, the "Fairy Sword" series was a smash hit costume fantasy drama. Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and other top celebrities in the entertainment industry were all guests of this drama. At that time, they were young and full of aura. With their excellent acting skills and deeply rooted characters, they became idols in the hearts of countless fans.
Nowadays, "Sword and Sword 4" is coming with all the wind and rain. I thought that it could take advantage of the east wind of the first two parts to once again set off a wave of ancient costume fantasy. However, the reality is always so cruel. It encountered Waterloo just after it was aired. The negative reviews from the audience came like a flood, and they were surprisingly consistent. This makes people wonder, is this hugely expensive drama really so unsightly?
"Four of Sword and Sword" crash scene: The plot of the ancient puppet is shocking, the special effects are worth 50 cents
Han Lingsha, the heroine of the Jianghu tomb robber, is played by Ju Jingyi, with exquisite makeup like a eldest lady from some family. However, is this really the "Legend of Sword and Fairy IV" we have been expecting?
Clicking on the feature film, I seemed to have walked into a minefield. In the first episode, the male and female protagonists met and were tied together without even saying a few words.
The plot develops so fast that it is jaw-dropping. The male protagonist turned around and actually "relaxed" the female protagonist. Could this be the legendary "magic circle of love"?
Slow motion and soundtrack are all available, as if to tell us: This is the feeling of heartbeat. But, is this really exciting? The male protagonist's face is pressed against the female protagonist's ear, and the skin color is in sharp contrast, like a combination of "night and day".
He said something affectionately: "You smell like my mother." The audience was instantly petrified. What kind of earthy love words was this?
The next plot is even more dumbfounding. The female protagonist asked the male protagonist to help pick up the items in her pocket. The male protagonist could not see the pocket and could only touch it with his hands.
As a result, it immediately touched the heroine's hand. The heroine seemed to have been shocked and shouted: "Don't touch my hands!" Then she pouted shyly. Is this reaction too exaggerated?
The relationship between the male and female protagonists heated up rapidly, as if they were on a rocket. But this rocket is too unreliable and will explode soon. The male protagonist learned that his father wanted him to marry the second female lead, and he happily agreed. This change of heart is faster than turning the pages of a book, which makes people wonder: Brother, are you sure you are acting in a costume drama and not a comedy?
I originally thought that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was a costume drama about gratification and revenge, but unexpectedly it was changed into a shabby ancient puppet with illogical logic. With an investment of hundreds of millions, the script can be adapted to any ancient puppet. Especially the special effects, which cost less than 50 cents, make people want to laugh when they see it.
I have to say that the car rollover scene in "Sword and Sword IV" is really exciting. From the plot to the special effects, everything makes people complain.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy Resurrection: Acting skills were questioned, and the cast caused a stir
When the popularity of "Sword of Sword and Fairy 4" came back again, the names of Chen Zheyuan and Ju Jingyi were once again pushed to the forefront. But this time, it's not because of their appearance or style, but because of their "acting" acting skills that make people laugh or cry.
Recalling Chen Zheyuan's performance in "Can't Hide Secretly", at that time he was at least good-looking. However, when it comes to "Four of Swordsman", it seems that he has become a different person.
was stabbed in the chest one second, and the next second he was as strong as an ox, roaring at the sky. Ju Jingyi next to her was also in the same mood. The two seemed to be competing to see whose acting skills were more "bad".
Ju Jingyi's makeup is as "exquisite" as ever, shining white but without any blood. Her makeup always seems to be so "impeccable". Even her bare makeup must be exquisite, including eyelashes and lipstick.
But in this drama, Sister Ju’s nose is a bit too “spot-stealing”. Under certain light, the nose seems to be poked directly from the brow bone, forming a sharp contrast with the bangs next to it. Her face has become so thin that there is almost no flesh. When she turns her head sideways, her nose is even more "three-dimensional" and cannot be ignored.
Of course, we cannot deny the beauty of Ju Jingyi. Although her makeup is always highly similar, at least in the hearts of the audience, her face is still recognized. It's just that in this drama, her opponents seem to be a little "powerless".
The makeup of the second female lead is obviously not suitable for her, making her face look wide and her neck thick; and the acting skills of others are not much better either. The wide-eyed Chen Chuhe, the swaying Wang Yuanke... almost everyone appears. A "disaster".
In addition to being questioned about his acting skills, the issue of cast in "Sword and Sword IV" also caused quite a stir. When the showrunner posted a blog post, he put Chen Zheyuan's name first, but noted that "the list is in no particular order." This move caused dissatisfaction with Ju Jingyi's studio, because the contract clearly stated that Ju Jingyi ranked first among all actors.
This competition for position not only caused netizens to say, "In the future, we will ask traffic stars to do solo filming" and "It is because of this that TV series are getting worse and worse." It also made people's expectations for this drama drop to the bottom.
html A warning for the street under the investment of 4 billion?
"Sword and Sword IV" is really dumbfounding. Hundreds of millions were invested, but the result was a bunch of rubbish special effects, with all the actors dubbing, the actors' facial features flying around, and the style of painting being like that of an ancient idol drama. The audience's time is also precious. Everyone's life is theirs, so why waste time on it?
I'm confused, what's so exciting about this kind of drama? They are all so rotten that they are still being snatched away from each other. If I have this energy, I might as well improve my business skills before filming.
But having said that, from "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to the current "Four of Sword and Fairy", the domestic drama market has also developed for 13 years. I remember back then, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was a popular classic, but I didn't expect it to develop into what it is now. Sure enough, it is a "circle", going around and back to the starting point.
Let’s take a look at the works of the past few years. “The Beautiful Scholar” with a score of 4.9, “Ruyi Fangfei” with a score of 4.7, and then “The Legend of Jianan” with a score of 3.9 have achieved five consecutive hits in the past three years. This time, there is really a big question mark as to whether "Four of Swords" can perform normally.
But having said that, although this drama has been criticized by everyone, there may be unexpected surprises? After all, who can say accurately about things in the entertainment industry? Maybe this drama will become the next hit.
I wonder if you will follow this drama? Anyway, I just wanted to watch the show and see how far this show can go.
