If you explore the innovation of domestic costume dramas, "Celebrating More Than Years" is undoubtedly a brilliant lesson.
With its clever integration of suspense and comedy elements, this drama is like a bright beacon, leading the trend of innovation in the field of costume dramas.
A New Milestone in Costume Dramas": Its brilliance not only opened a precedent for the innovation of costume dramas, but also set a model for the birth of "Zichuan".
However, the succession of "Zichuan" seems to herald a profound transformation period in the field of costume dramas.
Zichuan", like an extended version of "Celebrating More Than Years", it uniquely integrates a unique artistic style, as soon as it was launched, it dominated the top of the hot search with its amazing rising speed, fully demonstrating its strong momentum of becoming a new generation of costume dramas.
When "Zichuan" tried to emulate the innovative integration path of "Celebrating More Than Years", it unfortunately failed to accurately control the balance.
From the stark contrast in the trailer, we can see that "Zichuan" and "Celebrating More Than Years" have many things in common, whether it is the grand epic background or the intricate character entanglement, they all reflect the ambition of the creator, but the actual operation is slightly deviated.
Exquisite innovation, if not properly harnessed, often degenerates into humorous ridicule in the eyes of the audience.
The challenge of "Purple River" is that it fails to adhere to the rigorous logic and historical authenticity inherent in costume dramas while introducing novel elements.
The mismatch between the character setting and the actual age reveals the lack of rigor in casting, while the exaggerated tendency of the plot design suggests a lack of respect for the essence of the original book.
Zichuan originally wanted to use the charm of Yang Xuwen and Liu Yuning to play wonderful roles, but it unexpectedly triggered a heated discussion among the audience, focusing on the inconsistency between the roles and the actual ages of the actors.
Yang Xuwen challenged to play the role of Zichuan Xiu, a character in his twenties, which caused a sense of anachronism among many viewers on the screen.
The heated discussions on the Internet were polarized, and some people affirmed his acting skills, saying that he successfully interpreted the rich and changeable character of Zichuan Xiu;
However, most viewers still believe that no amount of good performance can eliminate the perception gap caused by age differences.
In the stark villain role of Zichuan Xiu, Liu Yuning played the role of Di Lin with all his might, and his sharp eyes and firm determination captured the hearts of many fans.
However, there are discrepancies between his image and the description in the original work, which has sparked heated discussions.
The Di Lin in the audience's heart should be both cold and youthful, and although Liu Yuning's mature aura is very attractive, it seems to deviate from the character prototype to a certain extent.
The young talents in the original book, Zichuan Xiu and Di Lin, promote the development of the plot with their enthusiasm and growth charm.
In the face of the interpretation of older actors, it seems difficult to fully capture the original youthful demeanor of the characters, both in terms of visual presentation and emotional resonance.
The mismatch in character casting not only erodes the persuasiveness of the characters, but also reduces the overall charm of the series.
The problem is not limited to casting mistakes, the sloppiness and perfunctory production process of the series is everywhere, revealing a clear rough texture.
Purple River presents a unique challenge in visual exploration, and although its costume and prop design and special effects scenes are presented, although they carry the vision of skillfully combining Eastern and Western fantasy elements, it unfortunately fails to fully meet the audience's expectations.
This cross-cultural visual attempt is a double-edged sword, revealing both an attempt to innovate and an executive challenge to capture attention in a way that is both new and intimate.
Despite our efforts, we didn't quite meet our expectations in terms of garment presentation.
The protagonists' costumes have chosen a unique and even rustic style, which undoubtedly strives to be consistent with the historical background of the play, but for audiences who are accustomed to the visual enjoyment of gorgeous and delicate traditional costume dramas, such a shift may be slightly abrupt and cause some challenges in acceptance.
This seems to have provoked deep thought: Are the current domestic costume dramas lost in the commercial wave, sacrificing artistic purity?
The opening chapter of "Purple River" is like a seemingly unsolvable battle, which immediately builds a gripping plot framework, with its stunning war depiction and depth of character portrayal, which instantly attracts countless eyes and is eye-catching.
Kicking off with a thrilling battle of 30,000 versus 300,000, "Zichuan" reveals the heroic resourcefulness of the protagonist Shikawa Xiu, who challenges a strong enemy with a small force and creates a legendary chapter of winning more with less.
This wonderful beginning is not only a shocking visual party, but also planted the seeds of curiosity and anticipation in the hearts of the audience.
The production team of "Purple River" has poured incomparable effort and abundant resources into carefully weaving every gripping story link.
The elaborate war epics and delicate costumes are matched to recreate the glory days of ancient dynasties.
Our architecture and scenography are masterpieces, from the flourishing royal capital to the magnificent ancient battlefields, all of which are steeped in history.
However, despite the excellence of the special effects, we haven't forgotten that the deep sense of history is sometimes a little overshadowed by the over-reliance on special effects.
In the crucial plot, although the special effects are carefully crafted in pursuit of audio-visual impact, some viewers regret that too many special effects weaken the authenticity of the plot and detract from the deep immersion experience of watching the show.
In this regard, in the face of the audience's feedback and discussion, the creative team of "Zichuan" chose to respond positively, rather than avoiding it.
In a recent interview, the director made it clear that he listens to the audience's voice, and he emphasized that future works will focus more on the accuracy of the character setting and the age fit of the actors.
They delved into the innovative thinking behind the casting and styling decisions, aiming to challenge convention and bring audiences a different experience with new artistic techniques.
The upsurge of discussion in "Zichuan" is like a thorough prism, reflecting the subtle exploration of Chinese costume dramas between innovation and tradition.
In the face of the hot discussion of character selection and the issue of technological innovation, the production team not only bravely coped with it, but also promoted the entire film and television industry to move forward.
The plot of "Zichuan" continues to extend, and every innovative practice, whether it is glory or setback, is writing an important chapter in the history of domestic costume dramas.
