Liu Shishi is playing an ancient puppet again. After six years, she returned to the ancient puppet track. As soon as the new drama "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" was launched, the popularity hit a new high of the year: The popularity of iQiyi station once exceeded 10,000, the real-time popularity was the first on the whole network, and the Weibo topic read 67800 million, discussion broke 30 million. 
Visible,As one of the "Four Beauties of Xianxia", Liu Shishi's appeal is still strong. But the problems that arise are just as obvious. On the one hand, as an 85 flower, the male stars who play with Liu Shishi have already reached the age and started to roll up the main drama, Liu Shishi can only "surrender to the coffee position" and play with a little-known student like Liu Yuning;On the other hand,At present, the ancient puppets are greedy for female dividends, and the text values are also moving closer to women. 
In addition, Liu Shishi's unimproved acting skills, supplemented by the show's poor slow motion and large close-up camera movements, have become more and more solid"Wooden Beauty".of the performance. All of this has made "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" a mediocre ancient puppet work, even with the gimmick of "Liu Shishi's ancient puppet comeback", it is still difficult to become a big climate. It looks tallIn fact, it is a three-legged catIn the past few years, the male and female protagonists of ancient puppet dramas have been set upside down, but there are three appearances - male A female O, male O female A and double strong. The so-called "double strong" means that the male and female protagonists are evenly matched and very powerful. This is also the most fashionable setting at the moment, and most of the ancient puppets broadcast this year continue this setting: in "Scorching Elegance", Liu Yan, the beautiful and tragic god of war, and Mu Zhuohua, a career brain female official, join hands to defend their home and country;In "Le You Yuan", the emperor's grandson Li Wei and the general's only daughter Cui Lin are involved in court disputes, love and kill each other;In "Ning An Like a Dream", the male and female protagonists form "Ning Wei CP", fighting wits and courage all the way. "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" also continues a similar path. What's more special is that the play is not an adaptation of IP, but is born from an original script, and the direction of the story is more difficult to guess and control. 
The story is set in an alternate dynasty. At that time, it was a century of turmoil, and the war between Anguo and Wuguo was stalemate, in addition to the battlefield on the surface, they also had another hidden battlefield - the battle between secret service organizations. Wuguo's Liudaotang and Anguo's Zhu Yiwei are two very powerful spy organizations. The Six Dao Halls, which are divided into the Three Good Paths of Heaven, Man, and Asura, and the Three Evil Paths of the Hungry Ghost Path, the Animal Path, and the Hell Path, are mainly responsible for detectives and spies. Zhu Yiwei has branches in many places, and the members are mostly women, and the lowest is the white finch, which is mainly responsible for the investigation of color seduction, and there are high-level identities such as the scarlet envoy, the purple envoy, and the left envoy of the headquarters. And the heroes and heroines in "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" are from these two organizations. The actor Ning Yuanzhou was originally the deputy hall master of Liudaotang, but he was wronged and hidden for a period of time because he was wronged in the factional struggle, and then he was coerced and lured by the prime minister of the dynasty and returned to the court. The heroine Ren Ruyi was originally the first assassin in Anguo, but was later framed and had to fake her death to avoid the rivers and lakes. 
At the beginning of the series, the two protagonists were given a lot of character buffs, highlighting their dual business ** on the one hand, and emphasizing their civil and military skills on the other. This leads to the problem that "the plot setting is reduced to a role foil". "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" used a lot of space to emphasize the two organizations of Liudaotang and Zhu Yiwei, the audience originally thought that the screenwriter would cut in from this and pull out a conspiracy drama, but I didn't expect it to be like that, the plot is not only flat and straightforward, but some places can't even stand scrutiny. For example, why the Liudaotang set up by Taizu of Wuguo was later controlled by Xiangguo, the cause and effect are not explained in the play. The audience only knows that Zhang Song, the first assistant of Wuguo, is a scheming and calculating appearance as soon as he appears, and his existence is instrumental, just to advance the plot and invite Ning Yuanzhou to return to Liudaotang. 
Like many aerial dramas, "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" gives people a sense of déjà vu that is strong and tall, and pretends for the sake of pretending. There are a lot of vain ancient terms in the play, such as calling the spy "intermediate", and the undercover agent "Chazi". As it turned out, these settings were just gorgeous decorations and had no practical significance, just like the settings of Shang Jiao Zhengyu and Charm and Charm in "Cloud Feather", each with its own pretentiousness. The three views are not correctCauses the character to turn oily?Judging from the three views, "Yi Nian Guan Mountain" is obviously a twisted drama. In order to cater to the feminism of the moment, it portrays the female characters in the play as proper female pioneers, whose mental state is hundreds of years ahead of the feudal dynasty.
So, how does the show highlight this mental state?Without him, it's just a slogan. Ren Ruyi's colleague of the white finch was sold to Zhu Yiwei by his family, and with the help of Ren Ruyi, the little white finch could have broken away from the organization and regained her freedom, but she resolutely gave up her freedom for the sake of her lover. In this regard, Ren Ruyi said this, "Why is your brother sick, your mother wants to sell you, isn't your life your life?"Ten years ago, for a man, your family sold you, and you have to fill your life for another man, is it worth it?”
Princess Yang Ying thought about her heart and wanted to marry her sweetheart. As a result, Ren Ruyi lost no time in pouring a basin of cold water on her, "Who said that you want to get married, what's the good thing about marrying, don't be another person's wife in life, and the bitterness and happiness of a hundred years will be left to others." ”
Not only the female protagonist is like this, but the female supporting and male protagonists are also rare sobriety in the world. Empress Wuguo bluntly said, "As a queen, all respect can only come from your (the emperor's) favor, but sitting on the queen mother, before he (the youngest son) is in power, the power of the palace will only be in his own hands." 
The most out-of-the-circle time in the play is a line that Ning Yuanzhou said when he condemned his colleague's frivolous behavior, "As long as she doesn't take the initiative to show her favor to you, every courtship word you say is ridiculous and disrespectful, not to mention in front of others." ”
After reading these lines, I only left one impression, that is, these characters are very fake and empty, and they are very good at shouting slogans. They are talking about the most fashionable and popular female remarks in the current dynasty, regardless of whether it is realistic or not, just this traffic-rubbing appearance and this quick success and quick profit face make people fall to the ground. At the same time, these remarks also played a certain counterproductive role in the play. Empress Zhaojie, whom Ren Ruyi admired the most, left her such last words before she died, "Don't fall in love with a man easily in this life, but have a child of your own." As a result, Ren Ruyi took this sentence as a guideline and must implement it. And the man she fancied was the male protagonist Ning Yuanzhou. In order to let Ning Yuanzhou have a child with himself, Ren Ruyi used a lot of means, one would "rob the people's men", and the other would "seduce and seduc", and said that the male protagonist "is useless even if he shouts his throat". 
is a good big heroine, but she was stunned by the screenwriter. Women chasing men to have children?I'm afraid this screenwriter has some misunderstanding of feminism?"Sexually" nested that set of vulgar values on women, but as a result, they didn't notice that something was wrong, but instead treated vulgarity as fun!What's amazing is that Zhang Wei, the screenwriter of the show, seems to have a deep understanding of "nihilistic feminism", and "Menghualu" broadcast last year was also written by her. From this, based on recent works, we can derive two major characteristics:First, the work is deeply loved by 85 flowers, and the works are mostly used by 85 flowers to make comebacks;The second is to like to harvest female dividends and create topic explosions. Flashy "wooden beauty".Compared with the characters and values in the play, Liu Shishi's acting skills have become the most noteworthy flaw. After all, for audiences who are accustomed to watching Liu Shishi's works, she in "Yi Nian Guan Shan" is just a stable performance, without surprises or fright. It must be admitted that Liu Shishi is still beautiful this time. Before the broadcast, the show released a photo of the desert lonely smoke and the woman in red, and since then, I have been convinced that the makeup of the show is **, which is enough to bring out the beauty of Liu Shishi. And this is indeed the case, makeup is one of the few highlights of "Yi Nian Guan Mountain". Whether it is Liu Shishi's opening dance or the later war-damaged makeup, it is remarkable, and it has grasped the makeup quality that an ancient puppet drama should have. 
However, makeup only determines the beauty of the shape, and the key to implementing it is to look at personal acting skills. And Liu Shishi is obviously timid in this regard. Ren Ruyi himself is a master of assassination, good at showing people with different faces, but after Liu Shishi's interpretation, this role does not show much contrast, lacking a sense of coldness when he is silent, and lacking a sense of charm when he is charming.
As netizens said, her performance in the play is only the difference between "laughing and not laughing".
This kind of performance is especially obvious in a male and female protagonist rivalry scene. In that scene, Ren Ruyi wanted to interpret the different states of different women, emphasizing that she could satisfy all the fantasies of men, one would be a bewitching orchid, one would be a dignified lady, one would be a peerless and independent cold beauty, and one would be a fiery rose with thorns. As a result, Liu Shishi acted back and forth, but there was not much difference in her changing figure, expression and temperament, which made people feel lonely.
In addition, some of her common acting problems have also been brought into the play unchanged. For example, her "acting Bei" problem, that is, the problem of weak line skills and the use of dubbing. For another example, her play stand-in problem, not long ago, the play was also on the hot search for "mosaic of stuntman actors". Or, her stalk neck and hollow eyes are also common in the play.
Therefore, after watching Liu Shishi's comeback, most of the audience was still disappointed. thought that after six years, returning to the ancient puppet stage, Liu Shishi would grow a little, so that people could see a different her, but I didn't expect her to be her, the flashy "wooden beauty". As the leader of the 85 flowers, Liu Shishi faces not only peers, but also 90 flowers and 00 flowers who are trying to get a piece of the pie in the ancient puppets. Once you can't produce a hit, or you have produced a hit but your acting skills are not recognized, the road ahead will be long, and it will be more and more difficult. No one is good for a thousand days, no one is good for a hundred days, no one will stay where they are and wait for her, the audience will not, and the traffic will not. Standing still, it is like going backwards, and by extension, not only Liu Shishi, but also 85 The time left is not much!
