Liu Yuning, Yang Xuwen, Zhang Mingen starring in the TV series "Zichuan" has been launched, this drama should be the first volume of the five volumes of the original work, so the length is only 24 episodes, as for the later "King of Light", "Iron Fist Commander", "Hymn to the Imperial Capital", "Dominate the World", etc., it should also be filmed and broadcast season by season, these have not been filmed yet, it depends on whether the first season can achieve good results.
This drama premiered for six episodes, and after watching six episodes twice, the plot of this show can only be described in four words, that is, unsatisfactory. Although the degree of restoration of the plot and lines of this drama is quite good, and the overall plot has only been modified slightly, it is still unacceptable whether it is the service, the appearance of the actors, or the special effects.
First of all, we have to know that "Zichuan" tells the story of the continuous disputes between various races after the Bright Empire was divided, and Zichuan Xiu joined hands with his sworn brothers Di Lin and Sterling to set things right and resist foreign enemies in order to protect the Zichuan family of internal and external troubles, and this one takes place in the Xichuan Continent, which is considered a different world continent, a bit similar to the world of magic and knights in the West, with elements such as half-orcs, barbarians, and demons.
But after watching this drama, I only have one feeling, that is, it is far from the original book and anime, why is there such a contrast? If you want to talk about the full reason, we can't say, maybe the whole world view is wrong, the good exotic continent has become an ancient war stream, such a change is really unacceptable, and even the army of half-orcs behind, and for example, how magical the demons will be.
And from a small point of view, we can actually be very intuitive, on the one hand, it is the way of service, compared with the anime, the costumes in the play have nothing to do with the style of the anime, and even continue to follow the "old tradition", without any new ideas. There is another aspect that the actors of this show are really not suitable.
On the one hand, from the perspective of temperament, Liu Yuning's cold appearance is still similar to Di Lin, and he is indeed a little similar in height and body type, but Di Lin's kind of aura and demeanor performance, Liu Yuning lacks some heat in this regard, we won't say much about this, the focus is on the three characters in the back.
The first is Zichuan Xiu, Yang Xuwen is 30 years old this year, and when he appeared, he was somewhat "real", sloppy, with some black on his body, of course, he had some black, and his body was not handsome enough, you must know that when Zichuan Xiu appeared, he was very handsome, sunny, energetic and a little hanging, Yang Xuwen is far inferior to the anime in this regard.
In addition, it is age, you must know that Zichuan Xiu was only eighteen years old when he appeared, and the eighteen-year-old Zichuan Xiu is not the king of light in the back, nor is he the king of the Ming Dynasty, he is just Zichuan Xiu, handsome and sunny, let the thirty-year-old Yang Xuwen play the eighteen-year-old Zichuan Xiu, this is too dramatic, even if the special effects can save some, but it's better to polish the skin and beautify him, otherwise it's really not like it.
Needless to say, the character of Sterling was directly renamed in the drama version. Sterling in the original book gives people the feeling that he is the kind of character who is not moving like a mountain and moving like thunder, brave and strong in public, but it is a pity that he played by Zhang Mingen in the drama version does not have the feeling of manhood and heroism at all, but has some showmanship.
The most unacceptable thing is the heroine of this drama, Zi Chuanning, that is, Zi Chuanxiu's favorite person, Zi Chuanxiu was adopted by the Zichuan family, her original name was Lin Xiu, and Zi Chuanning was 16 years old when she first appeared.
After checking it, I found out that the actor who played Zi Chuanning was named Li Mozhi, born in 1993, that is to say, she is 31 years old, playing a 16-year-old girl at such an age, no wonder the audience will feel that the drama is out, and even feel that they can't accept it, not because everyone's vision is high, but this is really not in line with reality.
All in all, the feeling of this drama is very different from that of anime, whether it is the actors or the service, it is not satisfactory.
