bad dramas are everyone scolded, and classics are always passed down. 7 years ago, at noon Sunshine used " Langya Bang " to set off a wave of costume power dramas, indirectly driving the reputation of domestic dramas to rebound. 7 years later, "Langya Bang" still exudes a super strong long-tail effect .
Yunhe Hot Index List "Langya Bang" and " Knows ", " The Legend of Zhen Huan ", and " Celebrate Yu Nian " are the four famous "nail households". In terms of reputation, they crush new dramas and real-time achievements, and they also make many new dramas look at them.
This national IP has been influential for seven years, and has also allowed the producers to see its potential for sustainable exploration. In the past two years, it has repeatedly reported that Noon Sunshine will restart " Langya Bang 3", and the setting of a new story has also been leaked online.
According to the news rumored on the Internet, "Langya Bang 3" continues the dual male protagonist model of the IP core, but the protagonist's identity is completely separated from the royal family, focusing on powerful ministers and generals, which should be a combination of literature and martial arts.
At the moment when costume dramas are crowded with ancient puppets, and power struggles and traditional costume dramas are gradually "disappearing", the audience is quite looking forward to the emergence of "Langya Bang 3", hoping that it can enrich the genre of domestic dramas, and also hoping that it can rekindle the power struggle craze. The first part of
has been the gods, and has always been remembered by the audience for seven years. The third part is ready to go, and is highly expected by netizens. Every trend is a hot search darling, which is enough to prove the super popular and influence of the IP series of "Langya Bang".
But this highly-watched IP has an existence that many netizens ignore: " Langya Bang: The Wind Rises Changlin " , the second work in the series, with a Douban reputation of 8 points +, but the market response is very dull. When
was launched, it neither surpassed the previous work nor became a hit work of that year. The number of times mentioned and the number of views of the main film after the end were far less brilliant than the first one, and many viewers even regretted that there was a second one in the series.
is the work not excellent enough? " Wind Rises Changlin " was indeed polarized when it was launched, but the final score remained at 8 points +, which is enough to prove its quality. This is the remains of a costume drama that was concealed by the light of the previous work.
's previous work is shining, and the sequel is mixed with joy and sorrow
The success of "Langya Bang" makes this IP shining powerful, and also makes the sequel "The Wind Rises Changlin" popular before it was broadcast during preparations, providing it with more favorable basic conditions than ordinary new dramas, and has its own hot physical fitness.
But at that time, there was also a curse in the domestic film and television industry: the more the sequels were filmed, the worse they got.
Whether it is Qiong Yao's old drama "Return of the Pearl 3" or " Ode to Joy 2" at Noon Sunshine, and the historical drama "The Great Qin Empire" (the final chapter of the Great Qin Empire series) have all declined sharply, and the sequel is not good-looking once became an inherent impression of the audience.
In this case, the audience is looking forward to the release of "Langya Bang 2", while worrying that the sequel will ruin its reputation. They involuntarily demand more stringently on "The Wind Rises in Changlin" and their tolerance for "flaws" is also reduced.
The "problems" that affected the first wave of reputation of "The Wind Rises in Changlin" began with casting.
When the audience found out that "The Wind Rises in Changlin" was not the original cast, but the story was a story about people after the first character, they felt lost and complained about the protagonist who changed the name of Langya Bang.
Huang Xiaoming's 's performance has made the sequel more unfavorable. At that time, he lost popularity due to his addiction to Mary Sue idol. Many viewers were very dissatisfied with becoming the new male lead of "Langya Bang", and believed that the production direction was compromised.
Facts have proved that Huang Xiaoming is reliable as long as he calms down and acts, but the reputation consumed by over-acting in bad dramas requires more effort to completely recover. "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" is exactly Huang Xiaoming's reputation transition work.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. If you win the title of the sequel to the Gods IP, you will inevitably need to be tested more strictly. The casting of "The Wind Rises in Changlin" obviously failed to withstand the audience's strict requirements, and he persuaded many old fans to give up before the broadcast.After the broadcast of
, netizens will subconsciously compare it with the first one. Once they find something worse than the previous work, the disappointment value will double. It can be said that "The Wind Rises in Changlin" has become the influence of IP, and failure is also the influence of IP.
But putting aside the halo of Langya, it is purely opened with a new work, and you will find that the content quality of this work is not inferior to the previous work, and it is even more worthy of the view of many loyal audiences.
has profound ideas and moving feelings
The first work of "Langya Bang" focuses on revenge and power struggle, tells the game between emperors and ministers, and is interspersed with moving elements such as loyalty, righteousness, and love. The second part "The Wind Rises in Changlin" elevates the righteousness of the family and country as the main line.
interprets the contribution of loyal ministers to their family and country from the experiences of two generations of leaders of Changlin Army. They are brave and scheming, forbearance and concession. There is a proposition in the story that has a strong sense of existence. Is there absolute trust between ministers and emperors? Emperor Liang (played by Liu Jun) and Lao Changlin Wang Xiao Tingsheng (played by Sun Chun) are brothers and sisters. These two have experienced the roles of Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan. They inherited the will of their ancestors, with their brothers and brothers respectful, and the king and ministers united.
The relationship and trust of the two are as stable as Mount Tai, but almost no one on the sidelines believe it. The queen thinks that the emperor favors Changlin Wang's family because she is confused. Xun Baishui, the leader of the foreign relative and civil servant, thinks that the emperor is burying bombs for the new king.
Is their concerns necessary? Throughout history, it is very necessary that military generals have too much power. Once the court is in a weak position, they can give you an Zhao Kuangyin in minutes.
But if you don’t trust your ministers and be prepared everywhere, will there be any good results?
Emperor Wu of Han The lethality of undifferentiated suspicion in his later years is still written in history. The fuse of the first Red Flame Tragedy in "Langya Bang" also began with the suspicion of the emperor. If the king and his subjects cannot be united, the damage will always be the foundation of the country.
"The Wind Rises in Changlin" constructs an ideal relationship between the monarch and the minister. The old King Changlin and Emperor Liang did not have a rift under the instigation of many parties from beginning to end. The two words "brother" before Emperor Liang's death made the audience burst into tears.
The emperor never forgot his true feelings because of power, and his ministers never waver their loyalty because of power. It is precisely because of the absolute trust and support of each other that Daliang has given him a good opportunity to recuperate and overcome foreign enemies.
After Emperor Liang's death, the relatives of the foreigners excluded military generals, and everyone played with power and tricks before the young emperor grew up, which led to the suppression and misunderstanding of the King of Changlin. The old King of Changlin was indirectly angry to death, and the little Changlin was dismissed from his armor and returned to the field, and the literature was better than the martial arts.
In the view of Xun Baishui and others, without the powerful military generals, the little emperor could stabilize the throne, but suddenly changes came suddenly, foreign enemies invaded, internal rebellion, and the unstable emperor became prisoners in minutes.
What ultimately makes the country better is always to work together, rather than a conspiracy between the king and the minister, and the plot between the ministers.
Part 1 Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan worked together, and they jointly maintained the foundation of Daliang; Part 2 The protagonist's team turned defeat into victory was the righteousness of Xiao Pingjing and Changlin's army, loyalty and protection.
Power scheme was instantly crushed in the face of family and country justice. "The Wind Rises in Changlin" uses power schemes to inspire the sentiment of family and country justice, and uses the complexity of human nature to highlight the greatness of loyalty and righteousness. It has a profound and moving idea, and introduces deep thought.
The grand pattern, intriguing role
Changlin Yiyong abides by the righteousness of the country, and Emperor Liang inherited and learned to trust. So are the civil officials such as Xun Baishui who constantly encouraged the emperor to guard against meritorious officials, who only know how to mess with the water?
is not. As mentioned earlier in Chapter 7, the idea of "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" is very touching, but it is also an idealistic relationship between the monarch and the minister. In the finale, Xiao Pingjing raised his arms and shouted and gathered the reputation of thousands of troops. It is difficult not to be afraid of it.
This is also the key to Xiao Pingjing's final choice to retire to the mountains and forests.
He and the old Changlin king are not guilty, but "Changlin's crime is in the future." No one can guarantee that the next Changlin king will always be loyal, and no one can guarantee that the next emperor can always be a wise king.
"The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" praises the ideal pattern of unity of the king and his subjects, and also praises the greatness of loyal ministers and good generals and wise kings. At the same time, it also integrates the complexity of human nature and power structure into it, giving the audience a sense of inspiration and thinking.
Xun Baishui almost harmed Daliang, but he was not a treacherous minister. His loyalty to the emperor was not as good as the Changlin lineage, and his concerns were not nonsense. Different positions destined to have different positions from the Changlin lineage.
How to make loyal ministers not indulge in internal friction? This is a potential proposition raised by "The Wind Rises in Changlin" and it is also the answer to Xiao Pingjing's retreat. Some people have the righteousness of their family and country, and some people have the righteousness of their family and country, and they are bravely retreating. Both are equally important.
To a certain extent, "The Wind Rises in Changlin" is a sublimated version of "Langya Bang". The story concept and pattern are more amazing. The more you think about the plot, the more moving it is. It is a masterpiece worthy of re-written by old audiences and new audiences.
However, the failure of "The Wind Rises in Changlin" that year was not only affected by some external factors, but also had a certain relationship with the story narrative style. This work has advantages and flaws in its dramatic treatment.
's work started with a huge impact. It seems to be progressing slowly but is actually linked together, which is very outstanding, such as the Donghai Pearl Gummy Case.
A bead glue tells the story of many forces. On the surface, Lai Yang Tai used the Queen's hand to assassinate the descendants of the Changlin Prince's Mansion, which led to the disagreement between the Queen and the Changlin Prince's Mansion. Lai Yang Tai's resentment and the East China Sea forces behind it.
There are two layers of reversals in secret. One layer of reversals is that the queen is not a scapegoat, but a silent pusher; the other layer is that the Changlin Prince's Mansion is not a piece of iron bucket, and the old princess' loyal minister secretly pushes the second son to compete for power with the eldest son.
plot is revealed layer by layer, with a lot of practical things. Screenwriter Haiyan is obviously more mature than the first one in terms of layout planning, but she also made a mistake that affects her impression: the main line is slightly fragmented.
drama audiences hope to quickly grasp the main storyline. The first part of "Langya Bang" was done well. The beginning pointed out the main line of Mei Changsu's rebellion and returned after many years. What does the GET screenwriter want to say in an instant?
"The Wind Rises in Changlin" is relatively scattered. The screenwriter lays the foundation step by step and pushes the Changlin line into an isolated and helpless situation, and the essence of the main line is completely exposed, which leads to the audience feeling a little slow in the early stage.
Moreover, the design of some details is too dependent on coincidences, which affects the audience's experience to a certain extent. For example, the first-rate military value Xun Feizan will always lose its chain at critical moments due to various coincidences, which once caused complaints from fans of drama.
The villain's role is not plump enough. The character of "The Wind Rises in Changlin" is also a place where "The Wind Rises in Changlin" has lowered its scores. The character of Xie Yu, Xia Jiang and Liang Di are all very plump, but the boss of the second season Xiao Yuanqi has no highlights, and the behavior logic is relatively thin.
But the flaws do not hide the merits. Putting aside the comparison with the previous work and the influence of casting, and only treating "The Wind Rises in the Long Forest" as a new drama, you can also reap the touching feelings in it and be attracted by the charm of the story that is not eroded by time.
, a work like this has become a "peg" due to small "flaws" inside and outside. It is actually quite a pity. Audiences who like traditional costume dramas and have no new dramas to chase can enjoy, so they may wish to open up again. I believe that they will not disappoint you.
