What kind of theme is the most likely to be popular in domestic dramas? There is no doubt that costume dramas have always been the first to come out on top.
This year's domestic costume dramas are also full of highlights, such as "Celebrating More Than Years 2", which is about to meet everyone, has a good reputation for the first part.
The original cast of the second part returns, and the quality will naturally not disappoint everyone.
Judging from the trailer of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", it is still the integration of comedy elements in the conspiracy, and the comedy has the sense of déjà vu of a male frequency drama.
Dramas with this kind of setting are not common in the national drama market, so it is not a problem for "Celebrating More Than Years 2" to achieve success again.
However, another new big drama has some similarities with "Celebrating More Than Years 2" in terms of style.
And the momentum is quite rapid, and it has become the "leader" of the soaring list after only 1 day of broadcasting, which has the meaning of becoming a hit.
The beginning is constantly reversed, and the power plot is wonderful
If a costume drama wants to make the audience addicted, the beginning is crucial.
Zichuan: The Three Heroes of Brightness came up with an army of 30,000 against an army of 300,000, but the battle of winning more with less has the effect of taking the lead.
The mighty army attacked, and the commander who sat firmly in the camp gave the order.
Attacking from the north and south, followed by the whole army, 30,000 troops are no match for 300,000 troops, both in terms of numbers and offensives.
However, one of the men dressed in black suddenly emerged from the ground, accompanied by a red light, time seemed to stand still, and he rushed into the camp of the enemy commander to directly take the enemy's head, and the 300,000-strong army retreated.
The big scene alone is eye-catching enough, and the appearance of the mysterious person has directly aroused everyone's curiosity, and people can't help but continue to chase the drama.
But then comes the main event, with treacherous tricks and thrilling reversals, which make people look at it more and more.
First, the battle for temples with two faces per capita
The plot uses the opening scene to use the battle of less victory as the reason to focus on the dispute between the two forces in the court.
Some people want to take advantage of this victory to transfer coach Shikawa Xiu (played by Yang Xuwen) back to Kyoto, and some people want to say that the white one is black, as evidence of the collusion between Shikawa Xiu and the enemy.
Zichuan Xiu returned to Beijing to report on his work, but the hostile forces in the court behind him had secretly sent someone to kill him in advance, labeled him as a rebel, and there was no proof of his death.
But the real threat is not Shikawa Xiu, but the monarch behind him and the commander in charge of one side, and Shikawa Xiu is nothing more than a victim of a power struggle.
The initiator, Yang Minghua (played by Zhang Fan), was invited by Jun Chang Zichuan Sanxing (played by Ma Shaohua) to be a guest, but the guest was fake, and the mutual temptation was true.
Zichuan Shenxing brought out a dim sum with a smile on his face for Yang Minghua to taste, Yang Minghua said that he and another general were guarding Zichuan together, but he turned his head and sat in the position of the monarch, and smashed his nine links directly.
In this temptation, Zichuan Shenxing pretended to be harmless and humble, but in fact, he deliberately gave up his seat, just to see Yang Minghua's next move.
And Yang Minghua sat in the position of Zichuan Shenxing without saying a word, proving his ambition, and then smashing the monarch's beloved thing, which is the bottom line of testing the other party.
It wasn't until the two of them left that they showed their true colors, this kind of master duel with two faces per person made the power plot more exciting.
Second, the unpredictable plot direction
A large number of characters and plot reversals are also a highlight of this show.
For example, at the beginning, Zichuan Xiu, who was able to rely on his divine power to take the enemy's head, turned his head and became a gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do it, hiding his true appearance.
There is also the hostile Di Lin (played by Liu Yuning), a cronie of the rival camp Yang Minghua, who betrayed Zichuan Xiu seven years ago and sent him to Yuanzhou, gaining Yang Minghua's trust.
But just when Yang Minghua emphasized several times that he wanted to leave Zichuan Xiu's life and couldn't kill him, Di Lin turned his head and acted in a scene with Zichuan Xiu, it turned out that the two were not opponents at all, but good brothers.
The most reversed is that in the process of Zichuan Xiu's return to Beijing, from being rescued by his brothers to being beheaded on a charge, to the rescue of the commander, and staying in Beijing to take up his post, the plot can be described as twists and turns, and it is full of highlights.
Three men in one play, Yang Xuwen's role setting is surprising
A good drama naturally needs the blessing of good actors, and "Zichuan: Three Heroes of Light" is no exception.
This time, Yang Xuwen, who took the lead alone, was the most amazing, and when he took the enemy's head, he looked like a brave and good general, and his force value was off the charts.
But when he was woken up by his subordinates in the camp tent, he didn't care about the enemy attack at all, and teased the female soldiers under him, and the contrast between the front and back was very strong.
In fact, this is a rough on the outside, delicate on the inside, and a first-class IQ character, and the way to protect the enemy princess is to portray herself as a womanizer, but while disguising herself, she has achieved the purpose of saving people.
He pretended to be free and easy to do everything in his heart, but he was already fully prepared, and the image of a brave and resourceful general stood firmly.
Although Yang Xuwen's acting mode is slightly exaggerated, it is also to fit the unobtrusive side of the role, and the overall degree of completion is very high.
And Di Lin played by Liu Yuning is also a face in front of people and a look in the back, indifferent and ruthless when he is in the company of the enemy, and he is upright and righteous in front of his brothers.
Liu Yuning also controlled the different states of the characters.
Even at the beginning, because of the fierce eyes, people mistakenly thought that he was the male protagonist's rival, and it can only be said that the acting skills are so good that they deceived the audience.
and Si Yilin played by Zhang Mingen, who did not take the route of contrast.
is a face in front of and behind people, but even so, Zhang Mingen is also very in line with the image of the character, his eyes are resolute and resolute, and he will never be in the same league with the enemy, which is also surprising.
In addition to the bright three heroes played by these three actors in the play, the performances of several powerful people also added icing on the cake to the series.
For example, Ma Shaohua's interpretation of Zichuan Shenxing, who is cautious and flattering in front of the villain, is indeed very incompetent emperor and petty man.
However, after the villain left, he put away his smile and a calm look, and he performed the complexity of the characters and the city.
The villain played by Zhang Fan has a ruthless look in his eyes, but he can feel that this person is scheming, and the rivalry with Ma Shaohua is even more hearty.
It can be said that at the beginning of 2024, this dark horse costume drama will be crazy, and seeing the quality of this drama, I can't help but sweat for "Celebrating More Than Years 2", but if the quality collapses a little, it has to be compared.
I wonder if this drama is your cup of tea?
