Since he was on "Love's School Trip", Zhou Yiwei can be called the representative of the 2023 word-of-mouth counterattack.
From the four major oils to the beloved wife and good man, after a variety show, many people instantly turned black to him.
Recently, a big production starring him was launched-
"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty".
The play is on the Youku platform**, bringing together an all-star lineup of many well-known actors such as Zhou Yiwei, Wang Likun, Zhong Chuxi, Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Ruoyun, etc.
With an investment of 200 million yuan and a year to shoot, it is definitely the most important New Year's drama on Youku.
From the appointment to the launch, all kinds of hot searches should be on it, but after the broadcast, it was an unexpected overturn.
This one-star negative review full of screens is basically inseparable from three words-Monday Wai.
The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty is a masterpiece of English literature written by a Dutch diplomat, sinologist and ** scholar Gao Luopei over a period of 18 years.
Yes, you read that right, the author of the original work is a foreigner who loves Chinese history and literature.
The book takes Di Renjie, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty of China, as the protagonist, and describes Di Renjie's legendary experience of judging cases for officials in prefectures and counties and Kyoto.
Gao Luopei's Tang Dynasty society is real and vivid, with foreigners, profiteers, beautiful women, monks, nuns, scholars and bureaucrats gathered in one city; The landscapes, houses, clothing, food, and daily necessities depicted have been carefully researched to outline a vivid picture of China's social life in the Tang Dynasty.
* is highly rated, and "Judge Dee" (Di Gong) has become the "Sherlock Holmes of China" in the minds of Westerners.
After being adapted into a TV series, it is presented in a unit drama mode.
The first case at the beginning, the Fengyin case.
Empress Wu's Fengyin disappeared mysteriously, Chen Zhuliang, the assassin of Yangzhou who had opposed her interference in politics, was given to death, and Empress Wu's favorite sycamore tree was burned to ashes by the heavenly fire.
For a time, the people in the court were panicked, and everyone was in danger.
Before everyone could react, a fire broke out in the "Jushui Building", the most beloved kabuki hall of the Empress Wu, and the dead included a little palace maid next to the Empress Wu.
It's not over yet. 
Another fire broke out in a farmhouse in the suburbs, and four men were burned to death, but after Di Renjie's inspection, there were no fireworks in the deceased's mouth, indicating that the fire scene was created after being killed.
There were three fire cases in a row, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the military queen, and the one who shouted the most was the uncle of the country, the eldest grandson of the Taiwei.
He said that the Empress Wu was immoral, which caused the wrath of the heavens to affect the people of Chang'an, forcing the emperor to severely punish the Empress Wu.
Di Renjie was not in charge of this case at the beginning, and the series did not rush to talk about how he solved the case, but used various small details to introduce the customs of the Tang Dynasty.
After returning from his trip to the Western Regions, Di Renjie lived in an inn, where there were many people of all kinds, including students rushing to take exams, businessmen, and travelers.
Outside the inn, the streets and alleys are full of traffic, so lively; At night, the lights are bright, and the literati and writers sing about wine.
Di Renjie was forced by the old housekeeper to go to the college entrance examination, and unexpectedly met Fa Xiao, and the two went to Jushui Building for a small gathering after the exam, and then they ran into a fire case.
Since Di Renjie was the only survivor, he was regarded as an arsonist and was caught in the yamen, but fortunately, his mentor Wei Wujian came out and saved him out.
The condition of bail is that the real culprit is found and the case is solved.
So Di Renjie wore the ancient version of electronic leg cuffs and began to investigate the case.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "Phoenix Seal Case" is a fight between the gods, and that is, the people in power are playing a "game of thrones".
In order to lure out the behind-the-scenes commanders, Di Renjie was dangerous, on the street, and the eldest grandson was tough, pointing out that the next time the heavenly fire would come within two days, and the object was the political act of the Empress Wu "Surname Record".
It's really magic that defeats magic.
Of course, the so-called heavenly fire is pure nonsense.
For example, there are many suspicious points in the fire of Jushui Building, ** point is the wine pot that Di Renjie brought with him, and the bottom of the wine pot was placed with a stone that will spontaneously combust.
The real culprit soon surfaced, everything was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
The second case is called "The Screen Case".
Personally, I think that the content of crazy criticism is higher than that of the first case, there are more strange scenes, and the stimulation is doubled.
The poet Tengkan played by Yin Xiaotian is a well-known beloved wife, but one night, he slashed his beloved wife seven times.
Later, Tengkan was diagnosed with epilepsy, did not think about tea and dinner, and wanted to die for his beloved wife, when everyone was sympathizing with him, Di Renjie found out an inappropriate relationship between five people.
I have to say that the plot is very eye-catching.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this drama is that the scene has a great visual impact, for example, the art team of this drama built a complete 70-meter-long Tang Dynasty ancient ship in a 1:1 ratio in a studio with an area of 6,000 square meters.
In an area of 10,000 square meters, the Western Desert is arranged; He did his best to reproduce the mysterious rain master of ancient legends.
The crew also spent a lot of money to create 1,200 scenes, just looking at these pictures, it is also a beautiful enjoyment.
Finally, let's talk about the actor of the male protagonist Di Renjie, Zhou Yiwei.
Seriously, since watching him and Zhu Dan's variety show, the favorability has really increased a lot, but let's just talk about things, don't blame netizens for messing around, the "Di Renjie" performed on Monday is indeed too greasy.
For example, in the first episode, it tells the story of Di Renjie who returned from a trip to the Western Regions and lived in an inn, and happened to encounter the theft of jewelry, and Di Renjie helped find the thief.
From the very beginning, Zhou Zhouwei's facial features never stopped, and he didn't forget to flick his pigtails after the fight, pretending to be a little overdone.
After that, Di Renjie was in trouble on the street, he flew up and down, attacked left and right, and knocked the other party down in three or two clicks.
According to historical records, Di Renjie in history is indeed from the family of military generals, and it is no problem to protect himself, but it is impossible to be invincible in martial arts.
Sometimes the protagonist's aura is too omnipotent, which will affect the viewing experience, and if you want to say that the protagonists are so powerful, it will make the audience feel less worried.
There is also a little fatal injury, no matter what emotion, Zhou Zhou Wei likes to frown, you can't see what he wants to show at all.
Facing the old housekeeper of the Di family, he also looked frivolous and exaggerated, not like a ** with a heavy responsibility, but like a street gangster.
It can be seen from the audience's comments that everyone still recognizes the plot, and most of the bad points of the male protagonist are concentrated in Zhou Yiwei and do not truly show the image of Di Renjie in history, lacking the temperament and style that historical figures should have.
The performance gives people a stiff feeling, lacking tenacity and integrity, and everything seems to be fixed and not entering the role.
However, there are also different opinions that Zhou Zhouwei is overoiled, but the real slot is that the plot is advancing too slowly.
adapted, using real historical figures, but the reasoning and judgment of the case failed to take into account the current audience's viewing habits.
Especially driven by the current short and fast pace, the audience's threshold for suspense dramas is also increasing, and they just rely on spending money on special effects for marketing, but in fact, there is no good script to support it.
In the end, it can only be reduced to a ** at the beginning of the year.
