costume detective drama, a trump card in Chinese dramas.
Once upon a time, this genre hit many ratings peaks, from "Young Bao Qingtian" which accompanied the growth of a generation to the intellectual ceiling "Detective Di Renjie", they all swept the ratings and reputation.
For a long time after that, costume detectives fell into a downturn. It was not until "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" was released that this genre returned to the audience's vision.
Next, the popularity of dramas such as "Lotus Tower" and " Under the City" have once again stabilized the mainstream position of costume detective dramas.
At the same time, there are still many ruthless dramas in the upcoming drama list, such as "The Legend of Tibetan Sea".
Directed by Zheng Xiaolong, starring Xiao Zhan, and joined by many actors such as Zhang Jingyi, Huang Jue, Zhang Guoqiang, etc., the lineup alone is worth checking out.
The male protagonist has been in silence for ten years to investigate the truth about the extermination of his family. The experience of Yixue entering the court after being wronged has its own dramatic tension, which firmly attracts the audience.
However, there is no news about the launch of this drama. Another costume detective drama has also been officially announced by CCTV -
"Chao Xue Lu" has released the unit trailer.
After reading the trailer, I want to say that the costume detective should have been shot according to this "standard" long ago.
The plot is full of suspense and the atmosphere is frightening and thrilling
"Zhaoxuelu" is adapted from Bu Yue Qianzhuang's novel "Quan Chong's Couple as a Medical Concubine".
The play tells the story of Qin Wan ( Li Landi ), the daughter of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who uses her superb medical and forensic skills to join hands with the eldest son Yan Chi ( Ao Ruipeng ) to solve an unresolved case and finally clear her father's wrongdoing.
Watching this drama together with the trailer, I realized that the drama is really extraordinary.
First of all, it is the creation of atmosphere.
As soon as the trailer for "Chao Xue Lu" came out, it instantly made people feel numb.
On a rainy night, there was lightning and thunder, and a female voice came from nowhere in the courtyard to sing. The tone of the play was sad and melodious, but it seemed extremely scary in the dark night.
Suddenly, a pale face appeared in the camera, and a female corpse fell from the "sky". I was so frightened that the person had long since lost her breath.
Immediately afterwards, weird laughter sounded, a black shadow floated past, and the next second, a male corpse with a knife in his chest emerged from the pond.
The murders that occurred one after another, and the victims who died in different ways, made the audience tremble in their hearts.
Secondly, it is a strong suspense case.
Shen Wan's father was framed and her whole family was destroyed. She used the identity of Qin Wan, the Ninth Lady of the Qin Mansion, to escape back to Jingzhou and met Yan Chi, the prince of Prince Rui.
Yan Chi devoted himself to overturning the case for the King of Jin, which coincided with Qin Wan's goal of being his father Zhaoxue. The two returned to Beijing together and embarked on the road to redress grievances. All kinds of weird and major cases came one after another.
"Every time I hear this melody, someone will die."
It is said that the opera actress died tragically and took her own life, but the protagonist does not believe that there are ghosts in the world.
The case of Baicaoyuan's obsession with love, the case of the headless bride, the case of the corpse in the dry well, the gold robbery...
Every unsolved case was deliberately created by the people behind the scenes. Qin Wan and Yan Chi are determined to find out the person behind the scenes. .
What is even more suspenseful is, what is the truth behind the tragic death of the heroine’s family and the injustice of the King of Jin? As the protagonist group slowly approached the truth, they discovered the shocking secret hidden deep in the palace.
A grudge intertwined with love and crime, a sinister conspiracy for power. Is the real murderer hidden among everyone?
Behind the various reversals is the speculation and analysis of human nature. The background of human nature is the answer to everything.
Young actors play the leading role, and they have strong acting skills.
With a good story, it is natural to need a good creative director to bring out the essence of the story.
Li Huizhu, the director of this drama, is known as the "Godmother of Costume Idol Dramas". Her films "Palace Locked Heart" and "The Legend of Lu Zhen" were both popular and made celebrities such as Yang Mi and Zhao Liying popular in one fell swoop.
Before moving to the mainland, her masterpieces include "Zombie Taoist" and " A Chinese Ghost Story ". The creation of a horror and thriller atmosphere is quite brilliant.
It is undeniable that Li Huizhu's joining is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the audience.
Watch the director first, then watch the actors.
The cast of "Chao Xue Lu" follows the standard "old and new" model, with young actors taking the lead and capable actors helping out, so there is no need to worry about their acting skills.
I have to say that the supporting cast of this drama is too strong.
ranked first, Ding Jiali.
Ding Jiali's acting skills are very superb, and the role she plays is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The more this happens, the more it proves that Ding Jiali has successfully created a character. No matter what role she plays, she can achieve the state of integrating human and drama.
is second and has a heavy responsibility.
Ren Zhong is a low-key and powerful person.
The Feng Yu he played in "Wind Blowing Pinellia" is honest, honest, and has no desires. There is little room for the role to be played, but Ren Zhong's joyful acting made the character more three-dimensional and left a deep impression on the audience.
A good supporting role can always be the icing on the cake. With his addition in "Chao Xue Lu", the characters are more full-bodied.
is third, Li Sheng.
Li Sheng's most outstanding role is undoubtedly the little swallow in "The My Fair Princess".
Even though Zhuyu was ahead of her, she still left a classic version of the role of Little Swallow with her own interpretation. But to say that the work that best reflects her acting skills, it has to be Qin in "金心如玉" Aunt.
Whether it is facial micro-expressions, emotional control or the explosiveness of the crying scene, she has a perfect grasp of it.
I hope Li Sheng can leave another good role in the new drama this time.
In addition, there are also many actors such as Zhao Bin, Deng Ying, Dai Chunrong, Yu Chengen, Shen Yujie and other actors joining the cast. This drama is wonderful.
But what is most worth looking forward to is the starring role of this drama.
Let’s talk about the heroine Li Landi first, she is an acting talent. After
became popular with "Hello, Old Time", he starred in many works such as "All the Way to the Sun", " Thank You for Warming Me ", and his acting skills were highly recognized by the audience.
In the new drama, she plays Qin Wan, who investigates the autopsy. The role is very challenging. Let’s see what kind of surprise Li Landi can bring to everyone this time.
Let’s talk about the male protagonist Ao Ruipeng, a young man in ancient costume who is ready to explode.
has participated in works such as " A Female Disciple Came from the Imperial College" and "Young Song Xing". His ancient costumes are charming and suave, which is very stunning. I hope that this time he can become really popular with his role in the new drama.
Conclusion:
Costume detective dramas have gone from popularity to downturn and then to revival. It is not difficult to find the pattern.
There are some costume detective dramas, either the plot is suspended and fake, the protagonist’s investigation has no logic, or it is reversed for the sake of suspense, and the creator goes around and around without knowing what he is filming.
There are also creators who are obsessed with turning detective dramas into idol dramas, where the protagonist only cares about falling in love.
The dramas that audiences love to watch, such as "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" and "Under the City", only do one thing-detectives.
The story is logically acted, and the suspense progresses layer by layer. Even if there is an element of love, the suspense of the investigation is still the main line, and love is just a mediator in the tense atmosphere.
As for whether "Chao Xue Lu" can win the favor of the audience like those classics, it depends on the effect of the feature film.
