If the costume dramas in 2023 are all over the place and have constant hits, then the costume dramas in 2024 will be unsightly and bad dramas will appear frequently.
For example, "Four of Swords and Swords" was hyped to the sky before it started airing. As a result, the plot was messed up, the service was cheap, and the Douban score was only 4.3, which was a huge disappointment.
and the fantasy drama " pray for today " starring Yu Shuxin and Xu Kai were also seriously inconsistent with expectations. Not to mention the ugly appearance of the male and female protagonists, the female protagonist's voice made the audience goosebumps. In the end, the popularity and evaluation were all pummeled. street.
Not to mention the ancient puppet dramas such as "Amai Joins the Army" and " Yong'an Dream ", each one is worse than the last. Are ancient costume dramas just so decadent?
Fortunately, the dramas to be broadcast are full of hope. The original cast of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" has returned, and the content is unique. The court battles, adventures in the rivers and lakes, and the more passionate and suspenseful story direction are very attractive to the audience.
and Yang Mi starred in "Fox Demon Matchmaker: Moon Red Chapter", relying on popular IP to protect the popularity, staged a unique love between man and demon.
It is a pity that there has been no good news about the above two dramas. Instead, Goose Factory has launched a new work " Meet Xiaoyao again", which will be broadcast tomorrow night. After watching the trailer, I went straight into the trap. This fantasy The Xianxia is so awesome that it can finally make the ancient costume genre stand up!
A spirited young man and a descendant of Nuwa, a contest of feelings and responsibilities
"Meet Xiaoyao Again" tells the story of Li Xiaoyao (played by He Yu), a waiter in an ordinary small fishing village, who accidentally met Zhao Ling'er (played by Yang Yutong), a descendant of Nuwa. Because of the persecution of the Moon Worship Sect, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er had to embark on a difficult and dangerous journey to find the Five Spirit Pearls and crush the Moon Worship Sect's conspiracy.
During this process, the two met Lin Yueru, the daughter of the Lin family, and her cousin Liu Jinyuan. The four partners traveled together and experienced a series of open and secret attacks. In getting along with each other, they shouldered their own responsibilities, Grow into an indomitable hero.
As can be seen from the synopsis of the story, this is a typical costume fantasy fairy tale. There are an endless stream of fairy tale dramas in the market today, but most of them start with the emotional line between the male and female protagonists and add sadomasochistic love scenes. After watching too many of them, I have become tired of aesthetics.
This new work is obviously more focused on the growth line of teenagers. The plot is refreshing and can make people excited to watch it. The same type of dramas "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" have achieved considerable results, which shows that the audience is buying into this genre.
As can be seen in the trailer of "Meet Xiaoyao Again", although this drama is not a big investment S + giant production, the overall production is quite careful. The style of painting is not the hazy feeling and aesthetic conception unique to ancient puppet dramas, but clean and refreshing. picture filter.
At the same time, a lot of effort has been put into the special effects of the show. In the
trailer, the protagonist group encounters strong demonic energy on the way to search for the spirit bead. Black and red are intertwined. Balls of black energy gather on the magma. Monsters with human bodies and ghost faces emerge. The energy floating around them seems to have substance. The image is very strong.
As an online drama, it is very rare that there are no obvious traces of cutout in the special effects. The fact that the big scenes can be shot to give the feeling of a big production shows the sincerity of the show.
It is worth mentioning that the play is adapted from the stand-alone game "Legend of Sword and Fairy". There has been a successful adaptation case as early as 2005. I believe that this time, "Meet Xiaoyao Again" will once again take everyone to appreciate the classic fairy tale. The flavor of a chivalrous drama.
Such a difficult adaptation naturally requires a strong creative director to check it.
screenwriter Li Zhe's most classic masterpiece "The Chronicles of the Song Dynasty Youth" vividly portrays the chivalry and courage of six young men. Among them, Wang Kuan's character has been recognized as a gentleman until now, which shows that the screenwriter has a deep foundation.
Chief Producer Li Eryun has a great background. She has produced excellent and high-scoring films such as "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin", " Longling Mysterious Cave ", " Royal Gift of Xiaowu Work " Supervised and produced, the audience finally doesn’t have to worry about this costume drama being shoddy.
Wang Jinsong has joined the cast, and all the actors have excellent acting skills.
"See Xiaoyao Again" is adapted from a stand-alone game, and the series lineup is a standard lineup of young actors + veteran actors. Don't worry about the acting skills of veteran actors, and the acting skills of several young actors are not weak either.
No. 1, Wang Jinsong
Needless to say, everyone knows how great Wang Jinsong’s acting skills are. As a national first-class actor, he holds many heavyweight awards. He has appeared in "Nirvana in Fire" and "Wind Blowing Pinellia". , "South to North", they all contributed textbook-like acting skills.
In the new drama "Meet Xiaoyao Again", Wang Jinsong incarnates as the villain boss - the leader of the Moon Worship Cult. He has a sense of oppression as soon as he appears. Covered by a simple black robe, his eyes show a disregard for everything in the world. With such a veteran actor, the acting skills of this drama can only be described in one word: stable.
ranked second, Wu Yue
As a national first-class actor, Wu Yue has online acting skills and can fight well. As a martial arts actor, he has solid acting skills. He has performed outstandingly in many dramas such as "Captain of China" and "South and North".
In the new drama "Meet Xiaoyao Again", Wu Yue will play the role of Jiujianxian. In the trailer, he is just a drunk old man, but when the danger really comes, Wu Yue resolves the crisis with great skill. . With him in this new work, I believe the audience will be able to witness hearty martial arts dramas again.
ranked third, Tian Yu
As a "gold medal supporting role", Tian Yu has played too many vivid and three-dimensional characters, and even the characters with some personality flaws can be likeable. For example, the money-grubbing and shrewd Wang Qinian in "Celebrating More Than Years" impressed the audience deeply.
This time in the new drama "Meet Xiaoyao Again", Tian Yu will play the role of the governor of Yangzhou. In the stills, he is dressed in official robes, but I don't know whether this character is good or evil, and what kind of amazing story he has.
I can only say that if Tian Yu joins this new work, the role will be instantly recognizable.
ranked fourth, He Yu
Compared with the appearance and acting skills of the first-generation male god Hu Ge, He Yu looks much immature, but in the recently popular "Traveling with the Phoenix", He Yu's performance is remarkable But the point is, from Fulong Jun who only knew how to play and make trouble, to the Immortal Lord who is responsible for guarding the peace of the three realms, He Yu has extremely strong explosive power.
In this new drama "Meet Xiaoyao Again", He Yu plays the leading role of Li Xiaoyao for the first time. Judging from the trailer, He Yu has mastered the "energy" of the character. It's silly and inexplicably hilarious, I believe the finished film will be even more exciting.
No. 5, Yang Yutong
Yang Yutong is an underestimated and talented little girl. In "Sweeping Crime Storm", her role as Xu Yingzi is a very instrumental role in the branch, but it is also the most unforgettable role for the audience. From innocence and purity to despair and suicide, Yang Yutong left an impression on the audience with his step-by-step explosive acting skills.
This time she plays the role of Zhao Ling'er in "Meet Xiaoyao Again". In the trailer, she is smart and cute. Although she does not have the style of Liu Yifei back then, her fresh makeup and excellent acting skills will surely bring different surprises to the audience. .
Conclusion
Xianxia dramas are not so popular in the current market, and three reasons are inseparable.
First, the script has no tension.
Second, the production is too template-based.
Third, the actor’s appearance and strength are too poor.
"Meet Xiaoyao Again" is a drama with a moderate amount of 40 episodes. The big IP adaptation has guaranteed the popularity. The strong creative team has supported the plot, allowing the audience to experience a unique drama-watching experience among all the heart-wrenching dramas. , is likely to become a "leading film" in April.
Moreover, the all-powerful cast in the drama also guarantees the quality of the drama's group portraits. I believe that as long as it is broadcast smoothly, it is expected to become the "signature" of Goose Factory, and the audience will finally have decent costumes. The drama is ready to follow!
