The largest costume drama " Mountains, Rivers, Moonlight " has finally started airing!
This costume historical drama co-starred by Feng Shaofeng , Chen Baoguo , Yinger , and Cheng Yi premiered in an episode on April 6, and immediately won the first place in the ratings of satellite TV at the same time.
"Moonlight in the Mountains and Rivers" was first released in front of the audience, and it can be traced back to the first trailer in 2019. At that time, everyone was shocked by the magnificent scenes, exquisite and atmospheric costumes and makeup, and the smooth and natural connection of the mirror. I thought I would soon see this costume drama based on the history of Ming Dynasty , but who knew that I had waited for three years to wait for the broadcast of "Moonlight in the Mountains and Rivers".
After watching the premiere of this drama, many viewers could not extricate themselves from the real-life building built by "Mountains, Rivers, Moonlight". In terms of the fullness of historical stories, Tang Dynasty was the dynasty that was most popular on the screen, followed by the Song Dynasty with the strongest literati spirit, and the stories of the Ming Dynasty were rarely adapted by directors and screenwriters.
This is not because the Ming Dynasty stories are low in viewability, but just the opposite, but because the Ming Dynasty stories are too "righteous", mostly revolving around court struggles, and there are not as many erotic harem stories and folk history as other dynasties. Therefore, if you want to adapt a film and television drama related to the Ming Dynasty, you must explore and create based on history and not go astray. This will have extremely high requirements for directors and screenwriters, which is also the fundamental reason why it is rare to see film and television dramas related to the history of the Ming Dynasty.
From the premiere content of the drama "Moon and Moon Bright", the entire crew and producers put in a lot of effort. From the costumes and styling to the view of the scenery to the solemn filters in the atmosphere, the audience felt the unique tone of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of plot, it is also as close to history as possible. From the founding of the country by Zhu Yuanzhang, to the founding of the country by Zhu Di, to the founding of the Yongle era, even some controversial plots in history, including Zhu Yuanzhang killing the founding heroes in order to stabilize his grandson Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen killing the vassal kings in order to concentrate his power, Zhu Di pretended to be crazy to escape the persecution of his nephew, etc., which were also restored in the play.
In the first episode of the premiere, it was basically a rivalry between the old actor led by Chen Baoguo and the young Zhu Di (played by Cheng Yi). The overall atmosphere was not serious. Even against the backdrop of some humorous lines, it also gave the audience a light comedy feeling. Especially the young Zhu Di, climbing trees and walls is nothing. The most rebellious one is that he planned to escape from marriage and go north to join the army, but on the way to impersonate the name, he happened to meet his future father-in-law Xu Da (played by Zhang Fengyi), and learned a lesson.
Cheng Yi is worthy of being the most teenager actor rated by netizens. He is not at all inconsistent with Zhu Di when he was young. He is smart and intelligent, and directly performed the young Zhu Di's spirit and rebellious spirit, which also laid the foreshadowing of Zhu Di in the later period to escape Zhu Yunwen's control.
In addition to Cheng Yi's wonderful performance, the rival scenes of the veteran actors are very interesting, especially Zhu Yuanzhang played by Chen Baoguo and Xu Da played by Zhang Fengyi. The monarch and ministers are simply fighting each other every day, and it feels uncomfortable if they don't quarrel for a day.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of Xu Da's daughter and wanted the other party to marry Zhu Di as his daughter-in-law. After all, Xu Da was reluctant to let it go. He even pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that his daughter marrying Zhu Di was like "a flower was inserted..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to fight him.
Xu Da played by Zhang Fengyi is brave and good at fighting and upright. The most feared thing is that his eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun (played by Ying Er) is the life of his elder daughter. Even eating a roast goose has to hide in the kitchen to swallow it. The audience is so happy that they laugh.
, and Empress Ma (played by Wang Ji ), who led the harem, did not forget her true nature. Her biggest hobby every day was cooking Nana soles. Even when Zhu Yuanzhang complained that Xu Da always won a battle and didn't know what to reward, he sold his son Zhu Di without hesitation, saying that he could not reward anything, but could give Xu Da a son-in-law.
At this time, Zhu Di was still climbing trees and climbing the wall to look at the border, with great ambitions while hiding his homework.
, a big guy, can be said to be very down-to-earth.
Although the premiere of "Moonlight" is humorous and interesting, there are still some flaws that make the audience want to complain about, such as the editing rhythm is problematic. It is an old long story that can be simply passed by. It seems that the plot worth discussing is quickly passed by, which seems to be very chaotic. In addition, the screenwriter inexplicably stuffed a Mongolian princess "White Moonlight", which makes the audience unable to help wondering whether the director Gao Xixi wants to incorporate private goods into the historical drama again to modify Zhu Di's love story.
You should know that Zhu Di's "white moonlight" is actually Empress Xu. The two couples are deeply in love and are definitely a model couple in history. It feels quite awkward to give Zhu Di a Mongolian princess like this. I just don't know if the plot will deviate from history later, which also makes the audience look forward to the adult version of Zhu Di (played by Feng Shaofeng) killing all sides to promote change.
I wonder if you are optimistic about this movie "Mountains, Rivers, Moonlight" in front of the screen?
