The United States has a new fairy tale drama with an investment of US$715 million. According to the latest US dollar exchange ratio in September, one US dollar is equal to 6.9 yuan. Therefore, US$715 million is equivalent to nearly 5 billion yuan in domestic currency. .
Let me ask you, there is no fairy tale drama in our country that can achieve such an investment, not even one.
However, after watching this American costume fairy drama, An Mie was deeply impressed. He felt that it could not compare with Chinese costume fairy dramas and was completely beaten by Chinese costume fairy dramas.
The first point that An Mie wants to complain about is that it is an adaptation that goes against history and tradition. When domestic netizens complain about domestic fairy tale dramas, the most intolerable thing is the magical adaptation and random editing.
In this American fairy tale drama, the elf archer who appeared in the first episode turned out to be 100% black.
Then, the female elf who formed the CP with the black elf archer is another 100% white woman. What is even more funny is that this white elf woman actually has a South American mixed-race child.
Please forgive me for my blindness. I really can’t tell whether this elf child is a daughter or a son. It seems to be both and neither. I really can’t identify the gender.
Another thing that domestic netizens complain about the most about domestic fairy tale dramas is the special effects.
Don’t worry, let’s take a look at this American fairy tale drama worth more than 700 million US dollars, and see if it has 50% special effects. Please look at An Mie’s screenshot. It’s hard not to say that the one below is not 50% special effects, it’s just feathering on the edges. It's just better than what's done in China.
What, one picture is too little. Okay, An Mie will do another one. Please take a look at the picture below to see if this is the special effect of 50 cents.
Are the characters on the boat, the boat, and the sea very abrupt and disharmonious? This is computer-generated. How is it different from domestic fairy tale dramas?
Again, domestic netizens often complain about domestic costume dramas and fairy tale dramas, which are completely illogical.
Sorry, this American fairy tale drama worth more than 700 million US dollars also has no logic.
For example, in the plot below, the elf heroine jumps into the sea alone.
All the other elves left, leaving her floating alone on the sea. Then, the question arises. How did this heroine appear in the next shot as if nothing had happened.
At this time, some friends will say that they are cheating, so why can’t domestic fairy tale dramas be cheated?
There is also the special effect of the villain's appearance. Friends, please see if there is any difference between this special effect and the appearance of the villain in domestic fairy tale dramas.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the name of this American fairy tale drama is "The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power". An Mie also added that the concept of Xianxia is different between China and foreign countries. In China, fairy tale dramas are mainly about falling in love, but in American fairy tale dramas, xian refers to gods and xia refers to knights, also known as knights. Gods and knights save the world, which basically has nothing to do with falling in love.
However, in terms of filming methods and content, American fairy tale dramas are very similar to Chinese ones.
For example, the following scene is the most common in Chinese fairy tales.
There is also the following scene, which is often seen in Chinese fairy tale dramas. An Mie feels that the scope can be broadened a bit and should be collectively called Chinese costume dramas.
But if you compare this American fairy tale drama with Chinese costume dramas, An Mie found that this American drama was actually beaten by the Chinese one.
It is said that American TV series are of high quality and the special effects are the best in the world. All shooting methods and aspects are inferior to Chinese TV series. This is the opinion of almost everyone.
However, An Mie could not tell any of this from this American drama today. He only felt that it was similar to those poorly shot domestic costume dramas, with a strong plastic texture.
For example, the scene below is very earthy and plastic.
There are also slow motion and freeze shots like the following, which also appear in large numbers in third-rate domestic costume dramas.
Why do people think that American dramas should be high-end? Is it because I have been kneeling for too long?
The appearance of the biggest villain is all black, without even a hint of color. This has also been learned by domestic costume fairy dramas.
This stereotype is very bad and is one of the signs of a bad movie.
In addition, the most complained-about point among domestic netizens is that in domestic fairy tale dramas, or in other words, domestic costume dramas, the male protagonist is too ugly.
Haha, while complaining about the unattractiveness of domestic dramas, I also touted American dramas. The male protagonist of American fairy tale dramas is very good-looking?
Please take a look at the male protagonist in the picture below. Is he very handsome?
should be said to be uglier than those male protagonists in China.
An Mie To be honest, I am not afraid of being criticized by everyone. The acting skills of the male and female protagonists of this American fairy tale drama are also very mediocre, worse than domestic costume dramas. In terms of the male and female protagonists, they are not as good as the domestic " Xinghan" Brilliant 》.
There is also the logic that An Mie mentioned repeatedly. For example, the heroine swore to everyone that she would never go home. As a result, the next second, she magically appeared at home. It is unknown whether
pressed the return button or used a flashback prop.
It stands to reason that the heroine led a large team of people, traveled over mountains and ridges, went through hardships, and traveled thousands of miles before finally finding this place. As a result, the next second, she returned home...
In the future, you should stop saying that domestic fairy tale dramas are illogical, cheating, and the protagonist has a halo. Please let American dramas reach this standard first, and then you can complain about domestic dramas.
Some netizens complained about the weird costumes in domestic fairy tale dramas. Please take a look at this 700 million-dollar American fairy tale drama. This is not called fancy costumes.
Maybe An Mie’s knowledge is limited. Anyone who knows the history of the West can tell An Mie whether there are black people in the Western dwarf countries.
In other words, the dwarves in the West are led by black people?
Some friends often have a question, why are there so few costume dramas in Western countries, and even fewer fairy tale dramas?
The reason is actually very simple. You can see it by looking at the picture below. Medieval Europe is the ancient Western world.
The Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages in the West, was not a life for humans. People lived in an environment like a pigsty.
Of course, fairy tale dramas must be clean and refined.
However, the legends and history of the West are limited. The only ones that have something to do with cleanliness are the elves.
The shooting method is exactly the same as that of Chinese fairy tales, with highlights and bright lights and gorgeous clothes.
However, the black man appears again, haha.
An Mie has only watched the first two episodes. There are a lot of black people and mixed-race characters in the show, which is really interesting. In the future, history textbooks in Western countries will probably have to be rewritten to include black people again.
Netizens have made a lot of complaints about domestic fairy tale dramas, saying that the costumes are ugly and unsightly. So, are American fairy tale dramas good to watch?
Not sure, why does An Mie think it is uglier and more rustic than the Chinese one?
From the design point of view, it is also very monotonous and ugly. I don’t understand that a work with an investment of 700 million actually hired such a costume designer. The effect is not much different from those third-rate fairy tale dramas in China.
There are also some scenes that are very eye-catching, such as the fireworks below, which look more luxurious than Disney's, but the traces of PS are too strong, and they look no different from those 50-cent special effects in China.
An Mie is most reluctant to see the Japanese style in domestic fairy tale dramas. Similarly, he feels the same way when he sees black people constantly appearing in this American fairy tale drama.
Could it be that in Western medieval mythology, the elves and dwarves were all led by black people?
In Western classics and myths and legends, are there any black people?
This American fairy tale drama was given one star by An Mie, and the review was only one sentence: the American version of Jue Ji.
