2024 Spring Festival stalls with greasy acting? Plot change? "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", which was strongly broadcast during the Spring Festival, as a costume suspense drama adapted from the well-known original work, once aroused a tide of expectations and attention.
However, in such a situation, two weeks after the start of the broadcast, this big production premiered with a score of 60。As I write this, I get a little bit lower.
Many comments bluntly said that "completely disappointed", "the character creation is too poor", and "it's just a martial arts drama".
This version of Di Renjie is too far from the image in my mind, I don't see the appearance of a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty at all, but more like a street gangster, and Zhou Yiwei's performance is too radical. It's okay in modern times, but it's too difficult to imagine it as a prosperous Tang Dynasty. ”
I originally went to watch the IP of Di Renjie, but this drama is obviously using this IP as a gimmick, and the main plot in it has completely changed the original work, and it is not the 'Di Gong Case' that I am familiar with. No matter how beautiful the costume scene is, it's useless, this is not the Tang detective I wanted. ”
Many viewers think that the director has made a bad shot of the wonderful plot, whether it is the rhythm of the plot, the portrayal of the characters or the creation of acting skills, it has not reached the height that Di Renjie, a very charming literary image, should have.
Although the picture is exquisite, the plot and character creation do not match it, and it always gives people a sense of absurdity and detachment.
Perhaps because of the classic image of Di Renjie laid down in many previous versions, the gap between the new version of Di Renjie and the recognized image is too big for the audience to accept.
Indeed, in "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", the young Di Renjie's image is young and free, which is quite different from the image we are familiar with. He has a straightforward and stubborn personality, is good at martial arts, and his style of action is closer to that of a chivalrous man.
But judging from the content of the original work, the character of Di Renjie is actually very successful, rich in heart, honest and benevolent. It's also very catchy.
His Di Renjie is both intelligent and skilled, and is deeply loved by readers at home and abroad.
It can be said that the TV series version of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has faithfully inherited the setting of Di Renjie in the original book to a large extent, and has strengthened the portrayal of this characteristic in the plot arrangement.
I went out of my way to search for it. Although the author, Mr. Gao Luopei, is a foreigner, he has written some words that amazed me: From now on, I can finally get rid of boring and boring official documents, and can deal with flesh-and-blood and vigorous people.
For the perception of homosexuality: two adults like each other, that is, it is a private matter between two people, and it has nothing to do with others, and you do not need to have a psychological burden;
Both of you are adults, and you have no children, and you are free to marry and marry. As long as it does not harm people and does not violate the law, the world can do what they want.
The TV series is not as bad as the reviews are
Among the cases that have been broadcast, there is no shortage of suspenseful scenes full of fantasy, such as the terrifying and weird lacquer screen and the ghost ship sea bloody case. These well-designed plots succeed in creating a strong atmosphere of mystery that makes the audience excited and nervous to figure out the truth.
In addition to the plot, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is also extremely excellent in terms of visual effects. Whether it is the resplendor in the palace or the glamour of Chang'an City, every scene has been carefully choreographed.
Echoing the scene, are the costumes and makeup of the characters. Wu Zetian's chic and sassy under the phoenix crown and xiaxia, and Di Renjie's uninhibited freedom between his coat and breeches, all demonstrate the inclusiveness, openness and multiculturalism of the Tang Dynasty society.
The shock and delicacy of these visual creations are refreshing.
