Costume detective drama is definitely a type of domestic drama that you can never tire of.
"The Criminal of the Song Dynasty" and "Young Bao Qingtian" are classics that dominated the screen at that time. In the past two years,
's "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" and "'s work " have also become hits one after another with their excellent plots.
's currently popular "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories 2" has also received a lot of praise.
There are also many good dramas to be aired.
For example, "Chaoxuelu" tells the story of the heroine using medical skills and forensic techniques to investigate the case and clear her father's grievances. "Spring Blossoms" investigates the truth of the tragedy from the perspective of the male protagonist and finds out the real culprit.
However, before these two dramas can be seen, there is news about another drama.
"Long Music" has been reviewed and certified, and it is rumored that it will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV at the end of August and will be broadcast simultaneously on Mango.
The drama has novel characters and compact plot. I would say this is the most worth-watching costume detective drama this year.
01 Detective, intrigue, love, all elements are complete.
"Long Music" tells the story of Shen Du (played by Ding Yuxi ), the chief of the Pavilion of the Imperial Household, who is highly appreciated for his vigorous and vigorous handling of cases. The Queen Mother ( He Saifei ) granted him a marriage to the daughter of the Yan family.
Yan Xing (played by Deng Enxi), a concubine of the Yan Mansion, serves as a clerk in the Ministry of Punishments. Because her third sister escaped from marriage, she decided to marry in her place to save her family.
After Shen Du and Yan Xing got married, strange cases occurred frequently in the capital. The two worked together to solve many cases, and gradually developed feelings in the process of solving the cases.
In the end, they uncovered the conspiracy behind the case and protected the people's stable life.
Judging from the theme setting, this drama has certain similarities with "Yu Ci Xiaowu Zuo", but the elements involved in the plot are richer.
There are two major highlights that attracted my attention.
The first is a detective team who are happy enemies.
The detective mode of this drama is the standard pairing of male and female protagonists.
Shen Du, a man and a woman, is the chief of the cabinet of the Imperial Household. He is serious, cold, and unkind, and is known as Bai Wuchang.
The heroine Yan Xing is smart and intelligent. She is obviously a clerk in the Ministry of Punishment, but she always wants to investigate the case.
Two people met unexpectedly during a case and formed a dispute. Who knew that they would be forced to get married soon after.
Shen Du is decisive in killing and Yan Xing is sharp and intelligent. They fight and choke each other while tracking down the murderer.
One is cold and the other is lively. They went from disliking each other to trusting each other and working together to investigate the case. This setting not only reflects the growth and changes of the characters, but also brings a change to the exciting plot of solving the case.
The second is the combination of intrigue and investigation.
The element of strategy itself has a treacherous color, and the combination of strategy and investigation adds to the suspenseful color of the detective drama.
In the play, Shen Du holds an important position with great power and ability. But if anything is as good as in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and he has been involved in a complex web of power.
Among them, there are important officials, relatives of the emperor, and heroes. These people all disrupt the situation with their own purposes.
The battle of wits and courage between the various forces, and their relationship with the case will become a major highlight of the plot.
This drama combines detective, conspiracy, love and other elements in its subject matter. The bright and dark lines are intertwined and connect the cases in series.
The characters in the play are novel and the plot progresses quickly. Although it is an imaginary historical background, the overall texture is full of ancient charm. The main creative team of
is indispensable for achieving such amazing results.
Wang Wei, the director of the play, once directed "The Journey of the Young Master of Dali Temple". Although it was not very popular, it was well received, which shows the director's unique insights in costume detective dramas.
This time he will direct "Long Music", and the details of the plot will definitely not disappoint the audience.
02The talented actors gathered together, and the cast was impressive.
The combination of young actors + talented actors and experienced actors has been common in the past two years. As a costume detective drama, the cast of "Long Music" focuses on both good looks and strength.
ranked first, Ding Yuxi.
Most of Ding Yuxi’s performances in costume dramas have been well received.
From Han Shuo in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian " to Li Cake in "The Journey of the Young Master of Dali Temple", Ding Yuxi has been steadily making progress in the field of costume dramas, and her acting skills have improved significantly.
In the new drama, he plays Shen Du, who has a miserable life experience and is alone, so he has weak emotions and strong guard.
Ding Yuxi accurately captured the characteristics of the characters. Because of his special official position, he always speaks the truth and pays close attention to others with a critical eye.
And a fragment in the play is also particularly impressive. Shen Du stood in the empty hall, his eyes red with tears, saying that he was a lonely ghost. This scene with the lines is very heart-wrenching to watch.
Ding Yuxi’s performance in this drama is remarkable.
ranked second, He Saifei.
National first-class actor He Saifei is definitely an experienced actor. Her acting skills can be described in one word: lifelike.
In the new drama, she plays the role of the Empress Dowager Zhou Shuo. She has a majestic demeanor, knows strategies, knows people well, and is not inferior to men.
The Empress Dowager holds the power, and the male protagonist’s marriage was given by her. The role of this character in the play cannot be underestimated.
With He Saifei's acting skills, there is no need to worry about this role.
ranks third, Zhang Tianyang .
Zhang Tianyang's acting skills are also outstanding among actors of the same period.
His style is very varied and can even be called dramatic. He has contributed wonderful acting skills in " that year the flowers bloomed and the moon was full " and "The Stars Are Shining".
In the hit "One Thought Off the Mountain", Zhang Tianyang plays the cowardly emperor Yang Xingyuan of our country.
In the new drama, he became a relative of the emperor again, playing the role of Xiao Chong, the wise king of Okura.
Xian Wang Xiao values status and respect. As a member of the royal family, it is difficult for him to stay out of the struggle for power and status.
But whether he and the Empress Dowager belong to the same faction or have other agendas will be revealed in the feature film.
ranks fourth, Xuanlu .
The role she plays in the new drama is not yet clear, but looking at the exquisite costumes in the stills, she should be a person with a certain status and important status. Judging from the scenes, this character should play an important role in the play.
These roles fit Xuan Lu very well. I believe she can create another classic role.
In addition, there are also actors such as Mao Zijun, Zhao Ke, Xiao Yan, Deng Enxi, etc. The male and female protagonists are good-looking, and veteran actors and powerful actors join forces. The ensemble scenes of this drama are worth looking forward to.
03 Conclusion
The classic costume detective drama revolves around a main character, and the plot advances one case after another.
But this set is a bit outdated in the current domestic drama market. If
wants to recreate a classic, it must have a good plot, otherwise it will just be an old-fashioned plot that will not attract the audience.
But in addition, there is another option, which is the fusion of themes, integrating detective stories with other genres to expand the narrative space of the plot.
"Long Music" has done an excellent job in this regard. It not only retains the key plot settings in the costume detective drama, but also integrates power and intrigue into it, making the story more watchable.
As long as it is broadcast normally, it is not a problem for "Long Music" to become a hit. Now "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" has a rival.
