Since the launch of "Long Song Xing" on the last day of March, there has been an uproar, and all kinds of criticisms have been heard endlessly. At the beginning, the heroine Di Lieba's image in the play was criticized, and then it became Wu Lei's poor cooperation bombardment, and even the second female Zhao Lusi's stunning scene-stealing. There are so many controversies that I have the heart to go to the ** after all, and I deeply feel that whenever a new drama is launched, such a variety of controversies are almost a foregone conclusion, although I have long been Xi to it, but it will inevitably affect the mood of watching the drama. Now that it has been on the air for half a month, maybe it's time to catch up and watch.

In just five episodes, the actors' performance problems are acceptable, and the comic style is quite innovative, but the director's lens is puzzling to me. Haodu played by Liu Yuning killed a person who betrayed the King of Qin on his debut, but the director added a touch of mystery to the small courtyard where the actors were located with a series of mysterious angles, as if to highlight the tall and mighty Haodu. This shot design makes me wonder if the director's intentions are good-intentioned, is it to set off the image of the actor or has other plans?
As for the close-up of the actors, it may be necessary, but the director's "nostrils and face" make me puzzled. Geng Le, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was also given many back shots, which really made me mistakenly think that the director was one meter two tall. Wei Shuyu's actor Fang Yilun is almost blurred to his face, and the high-definition face shot makes the nose hair clearly recognizable.
As for the heroine Di Lieba, the director's arrangement for her is even more incredible. In a bloody scene, the director gives Haodu a puzzling close-up of his big head, as if to emphasize some of his uniqueness. When Reba went home and saw the rout of the Prince's Mansion, the director actually chose a series of "flash" shots, which looked very bizarre. Such a design makes me wonder if the director has a strange threat to Reba's appearance, and even the aesthetic shape looks distorted and deformed under these lenses.
In contrast, I recall director Li Muge's works "East Palace" and "Sito". With his superb camera skills, Director Li has given a unique charm to the scenery and actresses. In terms of shooting, the extensive use of empty mirrors makes people feel like they are in a tourism promotional videoThe presentation of the actress made the audience fall in love with it. Perhaps, some of the director's attempts in "Long Song Xing" are a new shooting technique, but is this novelty too exciting for people to accept?
Despite all the mystical shots, the show performs well in other aspects. The appearance and acting skills of several leading actors are all **, and Di Lieba's eye drama is particularly outstanding. The plot is smooth, and the screenwriter's settings for the male and female protagonists are also more reasonable, especially Li Changge's character is even more profound after bidding farewell to Silly Bai Tian. After her father Li Jiancheng was killed by her second uncle, her series of counterattack operations were even more fascinating.
Conclusion:
Although "Long Song Xing" may be quite innovative in the director's shooting techniques, it may take time to verify whether this novelty can be accepted by the audience. Although there are some controversies, the show still has considerable points in terms of actors' performances, plot design, etc. Perhaps, in the next plot development, the audience can more fully feel the unique charm that the director wants to convey.
