Although the drama king of 2024 has not yet been settled, the strongest dark horse drama this year can already be concluded -

"In the Clouds of Darkness".

Not only is this work very eye-catching in terms of reputation and popularity, it has even successfully made popular a costume drama set in a revenge setting. The subsequent " Chinese Years " and "Yan Xin Ji" broadcast by

all have the background of revenge. These dramas obviously benefited from the dividends of " Mo Yuyunjian ".

There is a saying that Yu does have two brushes in filming costume dramas.

Looking forward, the "Palace" series is the most representative, as well as " Legend of Lu Zhen ", " Beauty's Scheming ", etc. are also produced by Yu Zheng.

"Story of Yanxi Palace" has successfully broken the Abao color aesthetic and brought the advanced Morandi gray tone to the screen.

There are also works closer to us such as "Spring in the Jade House" and "Shangshi".

There are countless actors who have been popularized by Yu Zheng. Among them, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, both of whom are famous in the 85s, all rose to prominence through Yu Zheng's dramas.

Now, Yu Zheng has focused on younger actors, using high-quality dramas to help their careers flourish.

For example, Bai Lu, who is already in the top tier, is an actress that Yu Zheng is very optimistic about. The upcoming drama "Linjiang Fairy" is a costume fairy tale tailor-made for Bai Lu.

At present, this drama has finally been officially announced. Another costume drama is coming. Actors from half the entertainment industry are coming to help out. Another dark horse drama is scheduled. This drama is going to be a hit again!

One, abandon the fairy tale routine, and feel both pleasure and sadism at the same time.

When it comes to which subject matter makes people love or hate, there is no doubt that it must be the costume fairy tale drama.

's beautiful service can always attract the audience's attention immediately, but the same story direction makes it difficult for this type of drama to bring freshness to the audience.

Therefore, as long as there is a new Xianxia drama, people are looking forward to a visual feast, but they are also worried that it will be old wine in a new bottle, and they will not be able to taste other flavors.

Several fairy tale dramas that have been broadcast in the Chinese drama market in recent years have not succeeded in breaking through the routines. Even the popular " Sauvignon Blanc " series is a masterpiece of cliché settings.

This is why I was both looking forward to and feeling anxious when I saw that "Linjiang Fairy" is a costume fairy tale.

Judging from the story setting, this drama tells the story of Li Qingyue (played by Bailu ) and Dacheng Xuanzun Bai Jiusi ( played by Zeng Shunxi ) who survive the disaster and save the common people.

The overall direction of the story is really not interesting, but the male and female protagonists fall in love and kill each other, resolve misunderstandings, and find the truth. During this period, there is both sweet and sad love and satisfying revenge. People can't help but look forward to the specific story. plot.

In terms of plot, "Linjiang Fairy" abandons the traditional fairy tale routine and attempts breakthroughs and innovations in the characters. The narrative technique adopts the method of suspense reasoning. The whole drama has a large number of high-reversal and strong conflict plots.

Audiences who have watched "Mo Yu Yun Jian" know that although it is also about revenge, this drama has a different sense of satisfaction. Including "Story of Yanxi Palace", it also used the heroine's Black Lotus character to make a lot of money. became a topic.

What Yu Zheng is best at is pushing a certain setting to the extreme and breaking out of the conventional plot framework. No matter what the subject matter, he can find new ways.

For this innovation in plot alone, "Linjiang Fairy" is worth looking forward to.

Second, the all-star lineup is guaranteed to be fake, Yu Zheng is betting big

Although Yu Zheng's personal reputation is seriously polarized in the industry, there has been a phenomenon of people in the industry boycotting Yu Zheng before.

But from the perspective of the lineup of works, it fully shows that Yu Zheng's popularity is not bad.

No matter what the theme of the work is, it is almost all-star configuration. Many actors who are familiar to the audience but have not appeared much in recent years are also willing to play supporting roles in the main drama.

On the one hand, Yu Zheng has given more actors the opportunity to show their faces, and on the other hand, it is the recognition and support of artists for Zheng.

The heroine of this drama, Bai Lu, was single-handedly picked up by Yu Zheng. From a little unknown actor to a top star today, Bai Lu has already been able to get good scripts, and her ability to carry dramas is also quite strong.

You can see Yu Zheng's preference for Bai Lu just from Fu Huadao. Whether it is the trailer or the Reuters, every costume of Bai Lu is full of fairy spirit, showing her good temperament in an all-round way.

is dressed in pink, like a fairy descending to earth.

is also dressed in white, elegant and gentle.

also has the sense of nobility and elegance, and the sense of being a wealthy daughter.

Including Bailu's most suitable red dress style, Yu Zheng did not ignore it, which brought out Bailu's strong aura.

With Bailu's acting skills and such a beautiful way of persuasion, there is no reason not to follow the heroine alone.

The male protagonist Zeng Shunxi has a noble and noble manner, so he has no sense of incompatibility with the character setting of Xuanzun in the fairy world.

After watching the trailer and makeup, the most impressive thing is that he is dressed in white and has white hair. If his appearance is a little off, he will look like an old man wearing this outfit.

But Zeng Shunxi's youthful look is outstanding. He can control such a look steadily, and even feel the beautiful and powerful atmosphere emanating from him.

In terms of acting skills, Zeng Shunxi is not bad at all. He and Bailu can be regarded as a strong alliance.

In addition, this drama also features Chen Xinhai, who played the eldest cousin in "In the Clouds". He has a highly recognizable appearance, is handsome and stylish, and is still eye-catching.

He Ruixian, who was not able to play the role of the eldest princess due to schedule, finally appeared in "Linjiangxian" after missing out on the role that Yu Zheng had tailor-made for her. The female star who is favored and promoted by Yu Zheng will definitely bring us surprise.

There is also Zhao Qing, whom Yu Zheng also likes. Her simple dress still cannot conceal her stunning beauty.

Liang Yongqi, his ex-husband in "Mo Yu Yun Jian Jian", will also play an important role in the drama. Judging from his appearance, his appearance this time will definitely not be ridiculed by the crowd.

The middle-aged actor group includes powerful actors such as Huang Yi and Yu Rongguang. Although the role of the character does not account for too much, it can also raise the overall level of the entire drama and make "Linjiang Fairy" the icing on the cake.

Conclusion

From the cast to the story, you can feel how much Yu Zheng values ​​this drama. Not only that, he also found two directors Zhilei and Guohao, as well as the powerful screenwriter Zhao Na for this drama.

The two directors are no strangers to the theme of ancient costumes. They have also produced works such as "The Eternal Waves", "Story of Yanxi Palace", "White Deer Plain", and screenwriter Zhao Na has directed "Chen" "Xi Yuan", " Chu Qiao Chuan " and other hit drama scripts.

The creative team is obviously here to protect this drama. This time Yu Zheng set up a real king bombing game for his "daughter" Bai Lu.

is another must-see ancient costume drama!

Are you looking forward to this "Linjiang Fairy"?
