The market for costume suspense dramas has always been lacking in high-quality works. There are many costume suspense dramas with brilliant configurations. They were highly anticipated before they were launched. After the broadcast, the popularity was mediocre, like "The Wind" "From Luoyang" and "The Wind Rises from Longxi" are all famous IP + all-star lineups, but the final effect is far less than expected.

Compared with the cost-effectiveness of these dramas, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" has neither IP blessing nor first-line support. When it was first launched, it was even suspected of riding on Di Renjie's fame, and it was not optimistic at all before it was broadcast.

But unexpectedly, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" became a big hit. Not only did the first season perform well, but the 40-episode sequel "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2", which was released just one day, also broke the iron law that sequels must be launched. , showing the potential of a drama king.

The trip to the Western Regions begins, and a new storyline is more powerful.

The reason why the audience is full of expectations for "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" is the various highlights revealed in the previous season.

Yang Zhigang was vaccinated at the press conference. The murderer in the first season was the most famous actor besides the leading actor. But in the second season, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" breaks the routine, with 8 major cases, and the murderer of each case is difficult to guess.

Yang Zhigang reminded the audience that if they miss a little detail, they may miss the real murderer.

The actors have all taken such vaccinations, and the audience certainly has higher expectations for the second season.

Judging from the premiere effect of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2", this is indeed the case.

As soon as this season was launched, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng became civilians, while the other was demoted and forced to leave Chang'an.

The key is that in the first season, the two of them were demoted and promoted along the way. After finally going through hardships, Su Wuming was sent to Qianling, and Lu Lingfeng was promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Now it's better. In the second season, the first season was completely in vain. The two estranged brothers have to hug each other for warmth again.

The reason for being demoted this time was a more bizarre case - the "Demon King Murder Case"

The first painter of the Tang Dynasty painted a mural "Conquering the Demonic Transformation" to pray for the late emperor. The mural was completed and only the finishing touches were left. The painter Chi It's too late to take action.

The supervisor made a sarcastic statement and angrily scolded the painter, "Chang'an is too big to accommodate you as a wall-painting boy?"

Unexpectedly, the devil appeared in the world. That night, the rude supervisor died in a strange and cruel way. was killed.

Immediately afterwards, three murders of officials occurred in Chang'an City in just a few days. Rumors spread, and the "devil king who escaped from the wall" made the entire city of Chang'an fearful.

The old rule is that behind the weird cases, people are just pretending. It’s time for Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng to take action.

In order to catch the so-called "Devil King", Lu Lingfeng used himself as bait. On a full moon night, he dressed in black just to catch the tree burial man who was pretending to be a ghost. In the end, the fake devil king was captured without any help, and the three witches behind the devil king's mask appeared. A demonic conspiracy related to the dispute between the court and the court was completely revealed.

The case was successfully solved, and Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming deserved the reward, but who knew that Lu Lingfeng's "mother" while handling the case would involve the detective team in the court whirlpool again.

The journey to the Western Regions begins. And the first case laid out in the plot is enough to burn the brain and attract the attention.

The original cast members are reunited, and they are all powerful.

Actor Yang Zhigang can be said to have successfully turned over by relying on the reputation of the first season. His academic acting style with a heavy sense of routine always gives people a sense of humor, but What "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories 2" wants is Yang Zhigang's arrogant and mysterious tone.

Su Wuming, played by Yang Zhigang, always shows a slow and leisurely ease in handling cases. His performance is very strange, so strange that it fits well with the "cunning" of this season.

As soon as Yang Zhigang narrowed his eyes, a new perspective of reasoning suddenly dawned on the audience.

But this season, Yang Zhigang has become more relaxed in handling Su Wuming.

Actor Yang Xuwen plays Lu Lingfeng. He is young and frivolous, and a passionate young man. When he debuted in the first season, he had a cold and ruthless feeling. He is brave and resolute. He seems boring but is actually very principled.

Because of this, sparks are bound to collide when Lu Lingfeng meets Su Wuming, who is always making strange moves.

In this season, Yang Xuwen still relies on his stern and upright appearance to grasp Lu Lingfeng's cold and powerful persona. His action scenes are still smooth, his various coercive moves are technically difficult, and he also performs beautiful moves.

Of course, this season Yang Xuwen and Yang Zhigang have indeed become more and more tacit, and their detective work has stronger tension and a higher degree of compatibility.

It is no exaggeration to say that only Yang Zhigang and Yang Xuwen can taste the original flavor of "Tang Gui".

Actor Chen Chuang is also an old acquaintance from the first season. He plays Master Fei Ji, a magical man who was fished out by Su Wuming in the ghost market. He has superb medical skills, but behaves weirdly and does things carelessly, but never does anything important. confused.

With the plot foreshadowing in the first season, Fei Jishi, played by Chen Chuang, has become an important member of the detective team in the second season. At the beginning of the second season, Fei Jishi saved Lu Lingfeng again. In this In the play, he played life-saving and healing the wounded so easily, but his "well-spoken lie" was performed with poor effect. When Lu Lingfeng asked Guo Zhuang, he hesitantly lied that Guo Zhuang had returned to Jinwu Guard to investigate the case.

has a smooth tongue and the way he thinks about things, he plays the character of Master Fei Ji perfectly.

In addition to the original cast, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" also has new faces.

Actor Yu Yi plays the No. 1 painter of the Tang Dynasty in a case. He is dressed in black and white, and his movements have the temperament of a crazy artist. He is crazy, crazy, and most importantly, he has the temperament of a villain.

Judging from the image and clues from the beginning of the case, I believe many people regard the painter played by Yu Yi as one of the suspects. As the plot progresses, the suspicion of the painter is eliminated, and it is inevitable for the audience to taste the role of the painter again. It reminds me of an immortal, Li Bai.

is talented, free and unrestrained, but always reveals sadness and loneliness, and depression may be the background of this character.

All in all, in terms of the cast, "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" has truly realized the full strength of the cast. From the leading actors to the supporting actors, even the characters who appear in a case are all very immersive.

But having said that, costume suspense dramas are easy to become hits, but they are also prone to overturning due to plot logic. The first case of "Tang Dynasty Secrets 2" is full of excitement and tension, but I want to do every case. It is very difficult to produce eye-catching effects.

Whether "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" can become the king of dramas and realize its potential depends on the development of the subsequent plot. Finally, what are your thoughts on this show? Join the discussion in the comments section.
