The "spy war" drama "The Wind Rises Longxi" co-starring Chen Kun and Bai Yu has finally started broadcasting. Once it was broadcast, it caused heated discussion among the audience.
drama is adapted from the novel of the same name by Ma Boyong, the IP king of the world of . It is directed by Lu Yang , a director who is good at suspense and martial arts. " Embroidered Chun Dao ", " Assassination of the Novelist ", "King Kongchuan" and other representative works are all his masterpieces.
plus the veteran powerful actor Chen Kun with a strong audience base, and Bai Yu, a young actor who has acted in many high-scoring dramas in the past two years, serves as the dual male lead.
Chen Kun's acting skills needless to say. Whether it is the young master Jin Yanxi in " Jin Feng Family ", or the Wang Sheng in "Painted Skin", or the Ning Yi in " Tian Sheng Changge ", Chen Kun's role is changeable, and he has been calm and low-key along the way.
And Bai Yu has produced 9.0 in recent years, 7.7 in " The Truth of Silence ", , and 98.1 in " Suddenly This Summer ", 100% "Bai Yu's vision of choosing dramas is too sharp, and no matter it is a life drama, a family drama, or a youth drama, it is easy to grasp.
Before the broadcast, this "Wind Rising Longxi" was considered by netizens to be the "ceiling" of this year's costume dramas. After all, Ma Boyong's first two costume IPs that were popular were " Chang'an Twelve Hours " and " Chang'an ". "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" plot is compact, exquisitely designed, and large background pattern; the plot of "Wind Rising Luoyang" is fascinating, with exquisite tones, and costumes and makeup. The success of the first two works also made the audience curious whether "The Wind Rises in Longxi" can become the next hit to trigger a craze for watching dramas.
However, after the launch of "The Wind Rises in Longxi", a strange phenomenon occurred, that is, the discussions about this drama are basically five-star high scores, but many netizens also commented on the ratings of the drama that smashed through the center of the earth after it was launched on CCTV-8.
Yes, while this "Wind Rises in Longxi" has a huge reputation, the ratings are only 0.5 to 0.7. Not to mention " Dear Kid " that ended with 1.68, it is not even comparable to " Heart Residence " which has been broadcasted many rounds on the list.
So let’s analyze today why this movie “The Wind Rises in Longxi” is so polarized.
First of all, it is the threshold for watching dramas in "The Wind Rises in Longxi".
From the background of the whole story, the story structure of "The Wind Rises in Longxi" is the Three Kingdoms version of "Mission Impossible" and from the "Ma Su's carelessness and loss of Jieting" that most viewers are well-known as the core entry point of the story. Important characters Zhuge Liang ( Li Guangjie ), Li Yan ( Yin Zhusheng ), and Feng Ying (Nie Yuan) appeared one by one. Then they told the audience that the reason why Zhuge Liang failed the Northern Expedition was because he received a piece of information that should not have made any mistakes.
Then this fake intelligence that caused Shu Kingdom to suffer heavy losses led to the secret spy "Baidi" who ambushed in Wei, and the spy "Zhulong" who ambushed in Shu Kingdom and the spy "Zhulong" who can easily intercept intelligence and drop packets.
The purpose of both "White Emperor" and "Zhulong" is very simple, that is, to complete the tasks assigned to you by your superiors at all costs, and win as many trump cards as possible for their respective vassal states in this separatist battle between the Three Kingdoms. So in a sense, this "Wind Rises Longxi" does not have a "villain" in the traditional sense, and all the characters fight for what they want.
The "spy" battle between the two countries was going on in secret, but the lurking Sichuan spy Chen Gong (played by Chen Kun) was exposed too early. His true identity "Baidi" is about to be exposed, but the identity of "Zhulong" has been hidden in the dark, which also makes the audience unable to help but be curious about the true identity of "Zhulong".
Is Xun Xu (played by Bai Yu) who has "comedy character"?
, but Zhuge Liang, who failed in the battle and asked to be demoted to three levels in a row, can he be freely resolved Li Yan's step-by-step power seizure? How could Chen Gong clear away his suspicion in the dead end?
The premiere of "The Wind Rises in Longxi" is like leading the audience to play an immersive Three Kingdoms spy war theme script kill. From the chassis logic to the characters, the words and sentences are not allowed to be confronted. The audience cannot be distracted or fast forward, otherwise it will be like a situation where you bent down to pick up a pen in a math class and can no longer understand it.
In this case, the threshold for watching the drama of "The Wind Rises in Longxi" is quite high. It is difficult for the uninterested audience to continue watching. If the audience is a little unfocused, the audience will be dragged away by the logic of the character. In addition, this is not a historical drama, so it is understandable that the ratings are low.
The next is the actor's problem.
Although Chen Kun and Bai Yu's two protagonists were ridiculed by many netizens for "not carrying on the drama", their acting skills are indeed not to be picked. Just take Chen Gong and the county magistrate Guo Gang ( Dong Zijian ) chatting about this scene, called chatting is actually a test.
When Chen Gong learned that there was something wrong with the information of "Baidi" and was being investigated, the shock and grievance in his eyes were almost overflowing the screen. Then he restrained his emotions in the next second and responded cautiously to Guo Gang's seemingly unintentional questioning. From surprise to temptation to reluctance, Chen Kun could let the audience feel his emotional change with just one pair of eyes.
Chen Gong is suspected, and Xun Xu (Bai Yu decoration) as the introducer will naturally be questioned, so there is the "torture" scene that makes the audience goose bumps. The struggle, despair and suffocation after being pressed into the water tank are simply amazing.
Dong Zijian, Nie Yuan and Wang Xiao also made the audience feel very comfortable. Every line and every breath is like a native of the Three Kingdoms. As for the Angelababy , which is "expected" by barrage netizens, Liu Ying, played by her, did not appear at all in the first four episodes.
Perhaps the only thing that makes the audience feel more out of the way is Zhuge Liang played by Li Guangjie. He made a decision mistake and cried to kill Ma Su. He could not see the wisdom of strategizing at all. In addition, he was full of tendons and flesh, but he didn't look like Zhuge Liang, a literati who was tall and tall, but instead looked like Song Jiang who was forced to go to Liangshan.
The last point may be because of the light.
"The Wind Rises in Longxi" In order to better create the atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms spy war, basically all night scenes use candles as the main light, with dark tones and low saturation, which some people will think it is advanced, but in the eyes of elders who have mastered the TV remote control, they are dim and a little tired of their eyes.
However, judging from the current plot of "The Wind Rises Longxi", the completion is very high, and no matter the actor's acting skills, costumes, props, and plot progress, it has not been dragged down. I believe that "The Wind Rises in Longxi" will become another masterpiece after "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".
I wonder if you think this "The Wind Rises in Longxi" is a good drama worth watching?
