The Finale of "Long Song Xing": A play that has to be criticized

" long song line ", which had high expectations as soon as it was launched, came to an end amid a tumultuous scepticism. After watching the ending, many people were dissatisfied. Although they were HE, they were rarely seen from beginning to end. The same paragraph, whether it is for the appearance of this show or for the original comics, seems to express dissatisfaction, so "Long Song Xing" has become a drama that I have to complain about.

There are many flaws in the whole play. The following is my summary:

Comic insertion affects the plot

First of all, why does "Long Song Xing" add comic transitions? Of course, this is because the play itself is adapted from the comics of Xada , and the animation elements are also reasonable and can echo the original work.

Although the "comic" element became its biggest highlight when "Long Song Xing" was launched, many pictures cut from reality to comics and then to reality, which made people look bright.

But as the plot progressed, we found that most of the "fighting scenes" and "large-scale war scenes" were replaced by comics. Perhaps shooting in this way can save labor costs for the filmmaker, but the effect of the picture does lack "shock force".

And when it comes to the innovation of "combining real people and comics", in fact, "Long Song Xing" is not the first. Previously, "The Strange Man Yizhimei" starring Liu Shishi and Wu Qilong also used the same technique. Foreign Korean dramas "w-two worlds" also uses this technique.

However, the point is that the transition part of the comics used in "Monster Iljimei" and "W-Two Worlds" does not involve important plots, and is basically a freeze frame of the ending of a scene, so that the use of it will not affect the audience's perception and coherence of the plot.

But "Long Song Xing" did not, and chose to use cartoon pictures to replace the more dynamic pictures in the play, such as the plot of Li Changge falling into the water when escaping for his life, the water splashed and the expression grim in the part of the falling water, in fact, this is the emotional output key point. The insertion of comics here is equivalent to extinguishing the flame of enthusiasm for the audience at the highlight moment of the heroine, that is, when the actress acting skills are really tested, which is very disappointing.

There is also a big scene where the Turks and the Tang Dynasty fought. When the two sides faced each other, there were not many people, and only a few elite teams were fighting for wits.

In the later period, the battle really started, and the moment of "fighting bravery" finally came, but it was directly switched to comics, and the "bloody" and "cruel" on the battlefield were all zero. When the audience watched the war scene, there would be no heart Fluctuations, the war in comics is like "playing the house". In the later period, I will talk about the content that the main characters of and have tried so hard to express, because these negative emotions have been replaced by comics, conveying a casual and unserious feeling. The country itself is a very serious matter.

The protagonist has too few scenes.

The whole drama is really "put the cart before the horse". Finally, the Haodu couple who temporarily formed CP became the main body of everyone's "candy". The original protagonist Dilireba and Wu Lei were in the play There are very few shots in the same frame. Because the two people have different styles for a long time, when the audience is watching the drama, there is always a feeling that when one party is in action, the other party is not there.

For example, when Changge was kidnapped by Little Khan, most of the interactions were between Changge and Little Khan, Changge and Mimi, Changge and Princess Yicheng, etc. Therefore, although the two are "evenly matched" feelings, many times Completing the task is an independent action, but the feeling to the audience is that the plots of the two people are very separated and estranged.

But from another angle, it seems to be in line with the characters of Changge and Falcon, because both of them are actually very capable, and they can be "independent" when the other does not appear.

If two people fit together, it must be a "strong alliance", and the predicament that can make the two masters unite must be at the level of "survival in a desperate situation". So from the director's point of view, it seems that the two of them are justifiable for the same style, but it does not affect the audience's dissatisfaction with the hero and heroine in the movie.

It’s okay to have fewer scenes, and the proportions of the scenes are not coordinated. The highlight should be in the second half, including the sublimation of the protagonists’ emotions, from revolutionary friendship to true love. However, the main length of the whole play is devoted to the emotional foreplay, and the later emotional development is not carefully sorted out, resulting in the "top-heavy" irregular scenes.

Failed casting and tampering with history

Although Di Lieba has a very good appearance and good acting skills, but with an "exotic" face, performing "The Princess of Tang Yongning" is really a drama . And in the play, Di Ali Gerba and Zhao Lusi play a pair of sisters who are affectionate and righteous. The appearance of these two people is not of the same ethnicity at all. Such cousins ​​seem to have a "plastic feeling".

The most annoying thing is the story of General Luo Yi. In fact, Luo Yi today is the role of a "traitor", but he was whitewashed by the screenwriter and turned into a general who would rather die than surrender. He fled to the grasslands because he was chased by the Tang Dynasty, and because he had defeated the grasslands many times, offended the great Khan of the grasslands. So Luo Yi was arrested by the grassland again and became a prisoner. In fact, Luo Yi ended up with characters that were not human on both sides. First, he hated Li Shimin, so betrayed the Tang Dynasty. Second, he offended the grassland people, resulting in no way out. In fact, in the end, it was all caused by himself.

An unaffordable action scene

When did you find out that Di Ali Gerba's action scenes are not good? Compared with the previous generation of Huadan, after Zhao Liying's action scene in "The Biography of Chu Qiao", I found out that Di Lieba's action scene was completely unwatchable. Li Changge's character setting is much stronger than that of Le Yan. He has been practicing martial arts with his uncle Li Shimin since he was a child. It stands to reason that in addition to his extraordinary military talents, he should also have great martial arts skills. But when she was in the grassland, she was bound by the little khan at every turn, or was captured by other generals, and it seemed that she had no ability to fight back.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she is deliberately forbearing and seeking opportunities to break through, but after watching this drama, although Li Changge has a passion, there is almost no crisis, and she is not waiting for the road of redemption. The most classic is that every time Li Changge is in danger, Falcon will say to her, "Hold on for a few more days, and I will definitely save you."But it's very strange. If you create a big heroine, shouldn't you rely on the heroine's own strength to solve the crisis? Why do you always rely on other people to rescue you?

The supporting roles are brilliant

After looking at the whole drama, I think there are not many scenes, but the outstanding supporting role is Princess Yicheng, she is in line with the historical prototype Yicheng Princess setting. First of all, she is a clan daughter of the Sui Dynasty, which means that she is not actually the daughter of the emperor, but a princess who was temporarily named a princess for the sake of her relatives. Such a woman has the most difficult fate, which is equivalent to going on an expedition for the entire country. Marry outside the Great Wall.

And the most moving thing is her marriage history. In her play and long song, she said that she can't go back to Chang'an. people. What's going on here? That's because the Turks are barbaric and "vulgar". In the absence of blood relationship, a son can inherit his father's wife and concubines, and a younger brother can also inherit his brother's wife and concubines.

Princess Yicheng was first married to the older Qimin Khan. Later, after Qimin Khan died, she married her son Shibi Khan, but Shibi Khan was also short-lived and had to marry again later. I have two younger brothers, Luo Khan and Jieli Khan . And what is shown in the play is exactly how she became Ketun of Jieli Khan. Yi Cheng, who is old and old, has no advantage in front of Khan's new favorite, and because of his identity as a Central Plains person, he has been excluded from the royal court. Although it is expensive, it is restricted everywhere, and it is far less handsome than the nobles in the Central Plains.

There is a detail. When Ayi’er transported General Luo Yi to flee, she lied that the water in Ketun had run out, but she could not go out yet and needed to be searched, indicating that the people from the grasslands did not believe in the Central Plains Ketun. .But later Yi Cheng personally came out to explain the reason for the use of water, and he was finally released, because after all, he was the identity of Ketun, and it was not easy to disagree with him on the surface.

All in all, after looking at the whole drama, the supporting roles played by many old drama bones are much more brilliant than the two leading roles. Regarding the height of historical and national justice, in fact, the appearance alone cannot support it, and acting skills are more important. The uneven distribution of scenes, the lack of action scenes, and the insertion of comics that affect the visual impact caused the failure of the show.
