Every summer, costume dramas will explode.
But I don’t know if you have noticed that most of the dark horse dramas in recent years have suspense themes.
Last year's "Lotus Tower" received a high score of 8.5 by nearly 700,000 people. The combination of suspenseful detective stories and ancient martial arts brought a new drama-watching experience and accurately catered to the audience's appetite.
There is also the "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" from the year before last. When the cast and creators were not good, they just relied on word of mouth to carve a way out and squeezed into the ranks of dark horses. Now "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" is also doing well.
Moreover, there are still many ruthless dramas ready to go, such as "Heroes" starring Cheng Yi, "The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival" starring Zhang Songwen, etc.
However, before they can come, another costume suspense drama is coming first -
A blogger broke the news that "Long Music" has been reviewed and certified, and is expected to star on Hunan Satellite TV in mid-to-late August, and will be broadcast simultaneously on Mango TV .
Can this drama become a surprise like "Tang Wei"? Now let's go find out.
The plot setting is novel and full of attractions
"Chang Le Qu" is adapted from Feng Qi's novel "The Name of the Bronze Bird in Chang'an". It tells the story of Shen Du (played by Ding Yuxi) and Yan Xing (played by Deng Enxi) working together to solve many unresolved cases and protect Xiang. The story of peace and justice in Anseong.
Combined with the trailer, it is not difficult to see that this drama obviously wants to play some new tricks.
To sum up this drama in one word: new.
First of all, the character design is new.
The male and female protagonists of most costume suspense dramas are either childhood sweethearts or they hit it off instantly. In short, the two have a tacit understanding, but the male and female protagonists of "Long Music" just want to kill each other.
Yan Xing, a concubine of the Yan Mansion, learned the skills of solving cases since she was a child and became the ninth rank of the Ministry of Justice. Shen Du got married.
However, on the first day of their wedding, Shen Du drew his sword and made "three dreams" for her - don't dream of becoming the real Mrs. Shen, don't dream of getting benefits from him, and don't dream of living in the Shen Mansion for three months.
Good guy, Yan Xing is married to the Living King of Hell. She is silent on the surface and obeys orders, but in her heart she is thinking about how to survive. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to do something big.
Such outrageous cp is really rare.
Secondly, the story is new.
The greatest pleasure of costume suspense dramas is to lead the audience to experience the unraveling detective experience through numerous suspense.
Shen Du and Yan Xing are still alive, but many innocent people are dead. Don't get me wrong, they were not killed.
Bizarre cases occur frequently in Beijing. Yan Xing uses clues to find the answer hidden in the physical evidence and gives the deceased an explanation. Shen Du puts aside his prejudice and joins forces with Yan Xing to solve the case.
Just when they were tracing the truth of the case, they discovered a shocking conspiracy hidden behind the unsolved case.
The whole story is intertwined, with big cases nested in small cases. The detective line is closely intertwined with the emotional relationship between the male and female protagonists, which has multiple attractions for the audience.
Speaking of this, I think many viewers have questioned - will the suspense drama become an ancient puppet drama?
Many costume dramas are under the banner of detectives, but in the end, emotional drama becomes the main line. There is no need to worry about this. The director of this drama, Wang Wei, gave the audience reassurance.
He directed "The Journey of the Young Master of Dali Temple" without a romantic line, but it received unanimous praise. It can be seen that the love scene in his works is not the main line, but the reasonable insertion can be a mediator to alleviate the tense atmosphere of the drama.
As long as the love scene does not take over the main role, the audience will love to watch it. To be honest, the cast of "Long Music" is not gorgeous.
However, the success of "无码小廵书" and "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" also prove that suitability is more important than gorgeousness in the casting of costume detective dramas.
The cast of "Long Music" is the best for its matching taste.
ranked first, He Saifei.
The audience is no stranger to He Saifei, a drama star. Although he has passed the peak of his acting career, his acting skills are still very stable.
The more this happens, the more it demonstrates He Saifei’s superb acting skills. In the new drama, He Saifei will play the role of the Queen Mother. Her strong aura is very suitable for the role. Not to mention her acting skills, it depends on how much room there is for the role.
The second place is Ding Yuxi.
Ding Yuxi is not an actor, but she has many hit movies such as " Qingpingle " and " Rumored Chen Qianqian ". It is by no means as simple as luck.
His role as Li Cake in "Marble Young Master" was eye-catching, and he performed the character in a calm, smart, righteous and kind-hearted way.
Playing a high-IQ character like Shen Du who looks cold-blooded, Ding Yuxi has his own persuasive appearance and aura, and his performance in the new drama will not be bad this time. I hope he can still make it this time. The audience was amazed.
The third place is Deng Enxi.
Deng Enxi’s most famous identity is probably the junior sister of tfboys, but this little flower’s strength is extraordinary.
When she was young, she collaborated with famous directors such as Chen Kexin, starring in "Hello, China", "Suspect The work, the acting is smart and natural.
In the new drama, Deng Eun-hee plays the role of the heroine Yan Xing. She looks pure and cute in ancient costume and is very friendly to the audience's eyes. We look forward to her performance in the drama.
The fourth place is Zhang Tianyang.
Zhang Tianyang is also a talented youngster.
He has participated in many works such as "", "The Swordsman in the Snow", "The Star", "The Road of Life", etc. The most impressive role is Lin Qiaosong in "The Storm Chaser".
Zhang Tianyang brings the ruthless and thoughtful characteristics of the character to the extreme, making the battle of wits between pros and cons in this spy drama even more exciting and adding a lot of points to the whole drama.
With his acting skills, he can play any role easily. I hope Zhang Tianyang can become popular again with his role in the new drama.
In addition, there are also many actors such as Mao Zijun, Xiao Yan, Mao Linlin, etc. joining the play. This lineup may not have a large flow, but the acting is definitely good.
depends on their performance in the feature film.
Conclusion:
How can a costume suspense drama achieve a counterattack when its lineup is relatively bland?
TV dramas such as "The Imperial Gift of Xiaowu Zuo" and "Tang Dynasty Weird Stories" have long given the answer - win by quality.
On the one hand, the story quality is excellent.
If the drama series wants to be attractive, the story logic must be rigorous, the details must be clearly explained, consistent with common sense, and truly respect the audience.
At the same time, arrange the rhythm well to prevent a certain story line from being too long and boring.
On the other hand, the acting quality is excellent.
Actors must not only fit the character, but also be able to perform the character's mood in different situations and restore the character's state to the greatest extent. When the character comes alive, the audience will become involved in the play.
Looking at the trailer, "Easy Music" did a good job, and then we will see if the feature film can maintain the standard.
I look forward to this drama airing soon.
