In recent years, Xianxia dramas have launched a number of popular works, such as "Flower Thousand Bone", "Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "Fragrant Honey", "Liuli", etc., which have attracted widespread attention and even promoted the popularity of some actors. As a result, Xianxia dramas have become one of the beloved genres of many audiences. However, to this day, the reputation of Xianxia dramas has declined year by year and has been criticized.
Several Xianxia dramas broadcast this year, such as "Heavy Purple", "Long Moon Embers", "Protecting the Heart", "Hua Rong", "Seven O'clock Auspicious" and the popular "Shen Yin", have been criticized, and have been accused of serious routines, lack of novelty, and unsatisfactory ratings. What's even more troubling is that in several Xianxia dramas this year, the setting of the heroine is related to the phoenix, such as Li Susu in "Long Moon Embers" and Ju Jingyi in "Hua Rong", all of whom play the phoenix goddess, which makes people a little aesthetically tired.
Not only that, but the image of the phoenix is portrayed similarly in these plays, and the red feather element is a common costume feature, some of which are reminiscent of pheasants. Moreover, the actresses who play the phoenix are all shown with a sweet image and lack the majesty of the phoenix. The plot is also worrying, most of them follow the love and hate of several lifetimes, and lack of innovation, which makes it difficult to remember after reading.
Taking "Long Moon Embers" as an example, Li Susu's real body is a phoenix, saving the common people by going back in time, but he presents too strong eye makeup in the play, more like a witch than a goddess. In "Hua Rong", Ju Jingyi played the three roles of Wei Zhi, Sima Wangyue and A Ya, although the appearance is different, the image is similar, which makes people aesthetically tired.
In "Shen Yin", Feng Yin played by Zhao Lusi is also a phoenix, the plot is closely related to three lives and three lives, and the final development is also love to hate, sadistic and thought-provoking.
In addition, a common depiction of the noble image of the phoenix goddess also appeared in this year's Xianxia drama, depicting the peacock as a sinister character. Wei Lingyue and Hua Shu are both peacocks, and they are both portrayed as arrogant and vicious female partners, which has also become a routine.
In the Xianxia drama that will be broadcast next year, the phoenix element is still continued, for example, in the to-be-broadcast drama "Walking with the Phoenix" starring Zhao Liying, she will play the role of "King Bicang" Shen Li, and her identity is also a phoenix. Whether this drama can break the routine and bring Xianxia drama back to glory has become the focus of the audience's attention.
Although the reputation of Xianxia dramas is not as good as year after year, there are still many ** film and television, and traffic stars are involved in it. At present, some Xianxia dramas are being filmed intensively, such as "Sendai with Trees" starring Deng Wei and Xiang Hanzhi, "A Thousand Trees and Peach Blossoms Bloom" starring Zhang Binbin and Sun Zhenni, "White Moon Fanxing" starring Bai Lu and Ao Ruipeng, and "A Thousand Fragrances" starring Song Weilong and Ju Jingyi. For these new works, can the audience still look forward to it?
