In the domestic drama market, costume dramas have been popular all the time.
Last year alone, there were many masterpieces in costume dramas, such as "Tang Dynasty Chronicles: Westward Journey", "Eternal Night Starry River", "Nine Purples", etc., all of which are absolute hits.
But this year's costume dramas, "Palm", "Sendai with Trees", "Like Brocade", etc., all performed poorly, and they were simply beaten by urban dramas, but fortunately, there are still many "hard dishes" waiting to be served in the list of films to be broadcast.
For example, in "To the Mountains and Seas" starring Cheng Yi, he plays the triangle alone, and his play and appearance are both online, and the DNA of martial arts fans is ruthless.
There is also Xiao Zhan's "The Legend of the Tibetan Sea", the "Godfather of Chinese Drama" Zheng Xiaolong cooperated with the top Xiao Zhan, this combination can be called "Wang Zhan". In the play, there is not only a brain-burning revenge line, but also a forbearance love with Zhang Jingyi, which is expected to be the next phenomenal hit.
But compared to the above two dramas, this is what I am looking forward to the most.
Xinhua News Agency issued an article strongly recommending "The Lychee of Chang'an" starring Lei Jiayin and Yue Yunpeng, and the trailer alone is full of information.
我敢斷言，年度劇王非它莫屬。
"Lychees in Chang'an" tells the story of Li Shande (played by Lei Jiayin), a small official, who reluctantly took the difficult errand of delivering lychees during the Tang Tianbao period, challenged the impossible, and transported the lychees to Beijing.
Judging from the trailer, there are two highlights of the show that are expected to easily control the ratings.
Highlight 1: Light comedy style
Li Shande was originally an unknown official, but he suddenly encountered a great good thing.
A piece of paper, appointing Li Shande as the "Lychee Envoy", as long as he completes the effortless task of "transporting fried lychees", he will be able to be promoted to the United States.
Li Shande happily ran home, but because he ran too quickly, the document in his hand fell to the ground, and a small piece of shredded paper fell.
It turned out that it was not "fried lychees" that were to be transported, but "fresh lychees".
The sky fell!
長安到嶺南五千餘里，且荔枝三日變味，想要三日內將荔枝送達京城，基本不可能。
But for the sake of the lives of the whole family, Li Shande gritted his teeth and was forced to take over the task of "Lychee Express" and staged the ancient version of "Extreme Challenge".
"The Lychee of Chang'an" is humorous and satirical, showing the struggles of the little people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty in a light comedy style, which makes people laugh and pierce.
Highlight 2: Workplace satire
“一騎紅塵妃子笑，無人知是荔枝來。 ”
Under the order of the saint, the people below had to challenge the impossible, and spent countless manpower and material resources to send the lychees that "changed color in one day, incense in two days, and taste in three days" to the capital, which shows the decay of the system.
Li Shande's superiors and colleagues knew that this matter was not feasible, and they coaxed him to take over the task, and watched him enter the abyss and be elated, which can be seen in the dumping of human nature and the dark corruption of Tang Dynasty officialdom.
"The Lychee of Chang'an" tells the story of a small person challenging the impossible, and completes the profound disclosure of reality through humor and irony, which is really worth looking forward to.
It is worth mentioning that "Lychee of Chang'an" is adapted from Ma Boqian's novel of the same name, and the original Douban score is as high as 5.0 points. The play is written by Ma Boqian himself, so there must be no need to worry about the quality.
The cast of "Chang'an's Lychee" can be described as "tough", and the participation of all powerful factions has brought the most solid acting foundation to the series.
The first place, Lei Jiayin.
As a powerful actor in the Mesozoic Generation, Lei Jiayin's acting skills are solid and delicate, not only killing all sides in the film field, but also having an excellent ability to carry dramas. The simple and kind Zhou Bingkun he played in "The World", and the "ex-husband" who is not a person inside and outside in "The First Half of My Life", have been unanimously recognized by the audience.
In the new play, Lei Jiayin plays the "good old man" Li Shande, and Lei Jiayin plays the honest wooden code on the role.
After learning that he was deceived by his colleagues and took on an impossible task, Lei Jiayin's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, and a few micro-expressions showed the character's shock and despair vividly.
Lei Jiayin's acting skills in this drama are too expressive.
second place, Yue Yunpeng.
Yue Yunpeng, who has an excellent audience and remarkable acting skills, has brought many surprises to the audience after transforming into an actor.
Whether it is "Man Jianghong" or "Tang Detective 1900", Yue Yunpeng's performance has left a deep memory on the audience.
In the new play, Yue Yunpeng plays Li Shande's brother-in-law Zheng Ping'an, in the play, he is dressed in a red official uniform, with a sense of joy, it seems that Yue Yunpeng is the funny person in the play.
Yue Yunpeng's performance is worth looking forward to.
third place, Guo Tao.
Needless to say, the acting skills of the powerful actor Guo Tao have shown superb acting skills in dramas such as "Parents' Love", "Scorching Sun", and "The Glory of Fathers".
In the new play, Guo Tao plays Liu Zhiling, dressed in an official uniform, and his serious face makes it easy for people to enter the play.
Although Guo Tao did not appear in the trailer, with his acting skills, this role is definitely not a problem.
In addition, there are in the playNarnathi, AnWhen the actors join, every actor is online, and the acting quality of this drama is absolutely guaranteed.
In the current situation of vulgar idol dramas and Xianxia dramas, "Lychee of Chang'an" is expected to "break out of the encirclement" with three highlights.
First, a solid script.The original book has laid a good foundation, the plot is interlocking, the suspense is laid in place, and the plot of 40 episodes after the adaptation must be able to give enough tension.
Second, the style of light comedy.The style of the play can be seen from the trailer, and the humorous and satirical performance is a good way to dissipate the seriousness of the theme, which is in line with the current audience's appeal for chasing dramas.
Third, the actors are doing their best.Lei Jiayin and Yue Yunpeng carried the flag, and the combination of all the actors played steadily.
I believe that as long as the drama is broadcast smoothly and the content logic is online, this drama will not be a problem, and there will finally be a decent costume drama!
