To be honest, I was full of expectation at the meeting that "New Three Kingdoms" just aired. I remember that at that time, Anhui Satellite TV also opened a special show for this drama, preheating it in advance, which completely drew the appetite of the audience. But after the show started, my full expectation turned into disappointment in an instant. Those lines of modern dialogue, clothing that did not fit the background of the times, a large number of deletions of the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and occupy a lot of space. All the emotional dramas instantly cooled my passion for watching. After a few glances, I gradually forgot this TV series.
I thought my fate with "New Three Kingdoms" was over, but just a few days ago, I saw this show again on TV. At that time, the play was playing the famous "Zhuge Liang scolds Wang Lang". Friends who have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know that this plot is one of Zhuge Liang's most brilliant stories in his life. With a keen interest in this story, the remote control button in my hand stopped, and I watched the entire episode carefully. But after reading it, my heart is full of mixed flavors, and a strong desire to complain all inspires me to say what I have in my heart: This performance is really too bad.
Let me first briefly state the plot of this story: Shu Han Zhuge and Wuhou conquered Wei and marched to the west of Qishan and Weishui. The Wei lord Cao Rui ordered Cao Zhen to be the chief governor, and Wang Lang to be the military commander and the Shu soldiers. Wang Lang wanted to convince Zhuge Liang with a remark, but Wu Hou revealed Wang Lang's history in front of the army. Wang Langli fell into disrepair, choked his chest and died under the horse.
Before this, Teacher Tang Guoqiang and Teacher Dong Ji had performed an extremely vivid interpretation of this story. The rigorous dialogue and vivid performance left the audience. Very impressed. At station B, where young people gather, the roles played by these two old actors have long become popular themes in the production of ghost videos, which shows how deeply the two old actors’ performances are.
In "New Three Kingdoms", the two protagonists Zhuge Liang and Wang Lang are replaced by Lu Yi and Liu Bingyu. Lu Yi is an actor that we all know very well. He has appeared in classic works such as "Never Look At The Eyes" and "The Name of the People". His acting skills are considered to be the best among Mesozoic actors; Liu Bingyu has relatively little information, but Luo in the classic TV series "Bright Sword" He played the director, and his acting skills are also remarkable. It stands to reason that when the two actors meet together, they should have a good chemical reaction, but the actual effect is that this supposedly wonderful story was interpreted by the two to be plain and flat, without any waves.
In the play, Zhuge Liang’s clothes are not bad, but Wang Lang, who is an official worshiper of Situ’s beaten hair, exudes what is going on in front of the audience. In that era, the ancients paid great attention to etiquette, not to mention a famous person like Wang Lang. Noble family?
But this is not the most deadly, the performance between the two is also plain like a bowl of boiled water. The whole scene gave me the feeling that someone who had memorized the text was talking. Although the language was correct, it didn't feel that way. Wang Lang's words are less arrogant, and Zhuge Liang's few words make people feel that: these few words alone are not enough to make Wang Lang gas dead.
After enjoying this unremarkable performance, the remote control in my hand silently switched to the CCTV version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", revisiting the teacher Tang Guoqiang and teacher Dong Ji A wonderful performance. After reading it, my mood was suddenly relieved: This is the "Wuxiang Hou Situ" I want to see.
