At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the screen was very lively, new dramas sprung up one after another, and CCTV even adopted the strategy of "double drama continuous broadcast", which made the audience dizzy. Although the historical masterpiece "South to North" has come to an end, its popularity is still high, ranking first on the list; At the same time, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" was launched on the same day, but it failed to match it, and the attention was slightly inferior.
During the Spring Festival, the warm urban family drama "Fireworks Family" debuted while the iron was hot, and the powerful actor Xu Fan and Ma Sichun in the play jointly performed a wonderful story of love and contradiction between mother and daughter, which is fascinating.
Just as these three works are competing fiercely, a costume detective comedy was born, which attracted the author's great attention - "Dali Temple Shaoqing Tour". My intuition tells me that this drama is very likely to become a hit.
Although the hit "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" is also based on the background of the costume detective case, in the face of such fierce market competition, is there any concern that "Dali Temple Shaoqing Tour" chose to be released at this moment? However, as an online drama, although it may not be comparable to a large-investment TV series in terms of production scale, the viewers of the first six episodes were all deeply attracted by it and praised it as a meal drama that should not be missed.
Sure enough, as soon as the show was launched, it jumped to the top of the popularity list only overnight, which shows its charm. When many viewers hear the title of "Shaoqing of Dali Temple", the first thing that comes to mind is the image of Zhen Yuandao in the biography of Zhen Huan, obviously these audiences are loyal fans of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The live-action drama adapted from the high-scoring popular anime "Dali Temple Diary" is an ingenious costume detective comedy, starring Ding Yuxi, and special starring Zhou Qi, Wei Zheming, Ren Min, etc. The Douban score of the original animation work is as high as 83. After a long wait, the much-anticipated live-action presentation was finally ushered in.
Although there are only a handful of comic dramas out of the circle, this drama has successfully broken the inherent prejudice with a high degree of restoration of the original characters and clever adaptation of the plot. The protagonist Li Pi (played by Ding Yuxi) is reincarnated from the son of an important minister of the court to a white cat in the play, and explores the truth of the family's extinction with a hidden identity in the divine capital under the rule of the empress. By chance, he was deeply appreciated by the empress and appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, where he befriended Chen Shi (played by Zhou Qi), Wang Qi (played by Feng Man), Ali Baba (played by Waer), Cui Bei (played by Ding Jiawen), Sun Bao (played by Zhang Yicong) and other partners to jointly solve a series of intricate cases in the Shendu, and they supported each other on the road of upholding justice and challenged their fate.
Although Zhou Qi's big eyes are slightly different from the squinting animation prototype, the love and surprise he showed when he first met the "big raccoon" Li Cake vividly interpreted the character characteristics. The play retains the unique setting of the cat's head and body, transforming into a cat body to rescue the crisis at a critical moment, and instantly transforming from a docile and cute cat to a mighty raccoon, handsome and impressive.
When the injured Li Cake recovered from the cat's body, this scene happened to be bumped into by Chen Shi. Different from the panic reaction of ordinary people, Chen Shi showed a surprised and fearless attitude, and even admired the appearance of Li Cake after being incarnated into a human, calling it a miraculous ability to change, and excitedly expressed that he wanted to take the "transformed" Li Cake home to raise. This plot undoubtedly made the cat lovers in front of the screen laugh, and they pointed to their pet cats and joked: "You can also take a look!" ”
The whole series is full of suspense and joy at the same time, with both fascinating reasoning plots and light-hearted and humorous jokes interspersed, just like last year's hit "Lotus Tower", successfully creating a masterpiece with both detective and comedy elements.
This live-action drama is not only ingenious in the plot, but the setting of turning a cat into a man is refreshing, and the humor in it is even more hilarious. For example, some viewers joked about their neutered cats: "Dear baby, it seems that you can only become a 'eunuch in the meow world'." This ridicule caused constant laughter, in fact, although it is not uncommon for cats to become human characters, they are mostly female images, and male versions are indeed rare.
The cast in the play is not bad, the actor Ding Yuxi can easily control whether it is modern dress or ancient costume, and he plays the role of the young city lord of Xuanhu City in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" with Zhao Lusi, and his handsome image and excellent acting skills are deeply loved by the audience. Ding Yuxi and Ren Min joined hands again and co-starred in this play, although the score of the movie "Ten Years of One Taste of Warm Words" was not satisfactory, but their performance in the new work attracted attention. In addition, Ding Yuxi also collaborated with Yu Shuxin in "Moonlight Variations", and gained a large number of fans with this play.
Zhou Qi, the second male lead in the play, also performed well, he played Haiqing's son Fang Yifan in the family drama "Little Huanxi", and successfully entered the public eye with his naughty, cute and infectious character creation. This time, he played the shovel officer Chen Shi in the play, and he contributed a lot of laughs, and his solid acting skills from a professional class were fully reflected.
Ren Min guest starred in the role of Shangguan Yi, although her appearance in "Jade Bone Yao" has suffered some criticism, but her appearance in this play is eye-catching. Another important role, Wei Zheming, plays the role of general Qiu Qingzhi, with both appearance and acting skills, although he has not yet become popular, but the cooperation with Sun Qian in the suspense drama "19th Floor" he starred in is impressive, and the novel theme shows the tension of his performance.
It is particularly worth mentioning the powerful actor Yang Haoyu, who once played the righteous and courageous driver Zhang Guisheng in this year's Spring Festival movie "Article 20", and won the love of the audience with his wonderful interpretation and comedic effect. In this play, he turned into a mysterious Taoist priest, although there are not many scenes, but every appearance is quite interesting.
Feng Man plays Wang Qi in the play, behind this timid and good at greeting characters, he hides his identity as Shen Teng's cousin, and they have participated in the show together before. The Ali Baba played by Waer perfectly restores the image of the anime, and the language characteristics of a bite of "mutton skewer flavor" are unbearable, and although the rich vocabulary seems to be nonsense, it is also full of fun.
Judging from the latest episodes, this drama has a funny and interesting plot while maintaining a high degree of closeness to the original anime, which can be called a high-quality dinner drama. Especially the acting skills of the male protagonist Ding Yuxi are remarkable, as a big male lead drama, this drama does not fall into greasy routines, but attracts the audience more and more to immerse themselves in it, and they can't stop.
