The Chinese drama market in August is more lively than in July.

After the completion of the currently popular works such as " Sauvignon Blanc 2" and " You Are More Beautiful than Starlight ", the series that have been launched are all hits.

The first one is "The Strange Story of the Tang Dynasty: Journey to the West" which has made the audience wait for two years. As the ceiling of costume suspense dramas in recent years, the sequel is naturally highly anticipated by everyone.

Judging from the trailer, the horror style of the film remains unchanged, and the weirdness of the case has also escalated, making it fun for everyone to watch.

" Liuzhou Ji ", a collaboration between Zhang Wanyi, who starred in " Sauvignon Blanc ", and the costume goddess Wang Churan, is also a work that breaks the rules in terms of character design.

Tan Jianci, another leading actor in "Sauvignon Blanc", brings a comedy-oriented costume drama "Sifangguan".

If there is any one of these movies that can whet the appetite of the audience just by looking at the trailer and plot summary, it is none other than "Sifangguan". The premiere of

is about to begin, with Tan Jian taking the lead for the first time, and a group of beautiful actresses joining the cast, another drama is coming.

1. Ancient diplomacy with lots of laughs and inspirational counterattacks by little people

There are many works focusing on modern diplomacy, but how many viewers know about ancient diplomacy?

This movie "Sifang Pavilion" is set in the British diplomatic mission Sifang Pavilion. It tells the story of people with ideals from all over the world who live in this small world and bravely fight for the justice of their home and country and move forward.

It’s just that this drama incorporates elements of comedy, so it doesn’t look so serious and has no fierce conflicts.

At least judging from the trailer, it mainly depicts the daily life of people in the Sifang Pavilion who make jokes and solve various diplomatic problems in funny ways.

This drama not only breaks the conventional rules, but also presents ancient diplomacy in an unexpected way. It not only presents history, but also does not make people feel boring.

The main characters portrayed in the drama are also low-level minor characters that can resonate with the audience. However, in the trailer, they seem to be out of place, but in fact they each have their own strengths and can properly handle various diplomatic matters.

Rather than saying that this work presents ancient diplomacy, it is better to say that it draws lessons from the past and uses the ancient workplace to present the modern workplace.

The protagonists in the drama also need to complete KPIs. In the process, they have to face pressure from their superiors and handle the relationship with the lower levels. On the surface, it is a costume drama, but in fact it puts the situation of workers in ancient times. .

So, what workplace survival skills and wisdom do the workers in the play have?

It can be said that "Sifangguan" is a costume work that is biased towards comedy. I hope this drama can break the dilemma of domestic costume themes being difficult to get out of the industry.

It is worth mentioning that the director of "Sifangguan" is Zhao Qichen, who is good at costume comedy and has served as the screenwriter of "The Son-in-law", "Everyday Life" and other works.

This also makes people look forward to "Sifangguan" becoming a phenomenal hit like "The Son-in-law".

Second, the actress's appearance is outstanding, and the supporting actress is more beautiful than the heroine

What I have to praise is the casting of the drama "Sifangguan".

There is no need to say much about the male protagonist Tan Kenci. Audiences who have watched "Sauvignon Blanc" will know that he is suitable for costume dramas. Not only is he good-looking, but his acting skills are also outstanding.

In addition, he became famous with " Crime Hunting Illustrated Book ", and also appeared in "The Alliance of Military Advisors", "The Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" and other works, which further proves that Tan Jianci is a treasured actor who has been underestimated for a long time.

This time, he plays the most hilarious role of a slump in the workplace in "Sifangguan". In the trailer, he is listless as soon as he goes to work and looks like a class guy. This role is really brought to life by him.

And Du Chun plays a sultry but powerful and somewhat arrogant character in the play. For Du Chun, this is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough in his image.

However, this kind of character setting is very lovable. If "Sifangguan" becomes popular, Du Chun can follow suit and become popular again.

But in comparison, what is even more stunning is the actresses in this drama. These four are really more beautiful than the last!

ranks first, is still .

In "My Altay", Zhou Yiran's performance was not even inferior to that of Ma Yili, and she matched her national boyfriend Yu Shi every minute.

Unexpectedly, in this "Sifangguan", Zhou Yiran's partner Tan Jianci also had a great sense of CP.

Zhou still has a very recognizable appearance, but she is also a beauty image that conforms to public aesthetics. Her temperament is a bit melancholy and cold, but she still has a girlish feel. Therefore, she is very suitable for playing the heroine of literary films.

But the roles that Zhou is still best at are the fierce girls who are completely inconsistent with her appearance and temperament, such as Dali Jiao in "The Sky of the Wind Dog" and the carefree but a bit carefree "Sifang Pavilion" Stupid Ah Shu.

week is still worthy of being a celebrity face that can be discovered by talent scouts just by taking the bus.

ranked second, Wang Zifei.

For everyone, Wang Zifei, who plays the supporting actress, is a little unfamiliar, but viewers who have watched "Everyday Life" must have never forgotten Shuang Jiang, who has a baby face and cute and pure facial features!

This time, Wang Zifei's appearance in the drama has changed a lot compared to "Everyday Life". She is dressed in dark ancient costume, and looks very much like a woman disguised as a man.

But this small and delicate face is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. Although she is a cute actress, her facial features are relaxed and majestic, and she looks even more dignified when she wears ancient costumes.

is third, Chen Xiaojun .

Chen Xiaojun, who has never lost in costume modeling, looks like the role she plays this time is that of an exotic beauty.

The complicated headdress can't cover up her beauty at all. Just looking at Chen Xiaojun's eyes, there is a broken feeling that makes me pity her.

Previously, Chen Xiaojun’s ancient costume looks in dramas such as " Mrs. Huzhu " attracted waves of good-looking fans. This time, Chen Xiaojun is going crazy again!

The fourth place is Kan Qingzi.

Facts have proved that actresses do not necessarily have to dress elegantly to show their appearance and temperament.

For example, Kan Qingzi, who is also dressed as a man in the play, is dressed like a man, but her soft and heroic face fully displays the gentleness and beauty of women.

is wearing a purple ancient costume, which brings out his nobility and gentleness. He can be salty or sweet. He is talking about Kan Qingzi!

Conclusion

I look forward to costume comedy every time, but I am more disappointed than surprised.

The reason is that most costume comedies like to use some old-fashioned baggage, coupled with the actors' exaggerated acting skills, in an attempt to amuse the audience.

The final effect is that it makes people dig their toes into the ground with embarrassment, and it is like sitting on pins and needles while watching this drama.

The advantage of "Sifangguan" is that it has chosen a group of contrasting actors with refreshing looks, and the fresh ancient diplomatic themes naturally reveal a different and popular look.

Do you think this "Sifangguan" will be a good costume comedy?
