, that's it?
This is my first feeling when I watched Yang Zi and Cheng Yi new drama " agarwood scent " , and I even felt a sense of dumbfoundedness.
I was not the only one who was disappointed. Shortly after the series started broadcast, the entry #Unknown# became a hot search.
Is it really that bad?
is actually more ugly than it looks. I think the word that fits it more should be "repeat" . The lively fairy is paired with the cold emperor, and the two gods are reincarnated and reincarnated in the cycle of Dharma and abusive love...
Is this "Agarwood is like shavings"? Or should it be called "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Fragrant Honey: Eternal Glaze"?
is obviously a new drama, but every detail gives me the illusion of familiarity, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Alas, do you have any feelings? In recent years, Xianxia dramas have become more and more routine.
We just want to ask, is "diversified personality" a serious crime in the world of fairy tales? How many years will it take to be sentenced?
Why are the characters in fairy tale dramas so similar now?
The heroine must be a lively but not a special bloodline heir who doesn’t like to learn.
Yan Dan of "Agarwood Rusha" is the blood of the four-leaf and lotus in the ancient family. She doesn't like to practice immortal arts but only loves to write scripts.
is also Yang Zi's character. " Ashes of Frost " (hereinafter referred to as "Fragrant Mi") Jin Mi is the innocent and romantic daughter of the flower god. The appearance setting is also to love to eat, play, not learn.
" Three Lives Three Worlds Pillow Book " (hereinafter referred to as "Pillow Book") Fengjiu is Qingqiu Emperor, and the teacher paints in class.
" Eternal Love of Love " The heroine is the true god, and the teacher shows her in class.
The heroine of "Liuli" is the reincarnated god of war, and the teacher slept in class.
In the fairy class, the more perfunctory you read, the more likely you are to be the heroine.
The male protagonist is Yishuier's cold emperor (or a god of similar status) .
"Agarwood Soup" Emperor Ying Yuan has strong abilities and cold personality. All fairies in the heavenly world love him.
The "Eternal Love of Love" next door is Bai Jue, which is very similar. They are all strong abilities and cold-hearted. The fairy becomes a scheming when she sees him.
further forward, Donghua in "The Book of Pillows", a cold-looking Emperor ;
" Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms " (hereinafter referred to as "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms") Ye Hua , the cold and dark-bellied prince of the Nine Heavens;
Bai Zihua in " Flowers and Thousand Bones ", the lone and indifferent Changliu Xian...
Cold male god (literal meaning) is really too overflowing. If I close my eyes and throw it in the world of fairy tales, I may hit 7 emperors, 2 true gods, and 1 prince...
This homogeneity is not limited to the protagonist. There must be gentle, considerate and hardworking flower protectors around the heroine. is similar to Yu Mo in "Agarwood Soup" and Runyu in "Agarwood Soup";
There must be scheming green tea , just like the firefly lamp in "Agarwood Soup" and the Su Jin in "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
This similarity is particularly obvious in "Agarwood Soup". After all, Yang Zi and Cheng Yi have both "become an immortal" and Yan Dan is almost a copy of Jin Mi. Although Cheng Yi plays a monster in "Liuli", he is generally the way of a cold fairy man.
As someone who has watched both "Fragrance" and "Liuli", I have to say that watching "Agarwood Rusha" always has a strange feeling of watching Jin Mi and Sifeng having an affair...
What makes it worse is the increasingly similar style in the Xianxia drama.
The fairy world is always a light gauze skirt:
The demon world must be dark armor:
No matter if you are a male god or a female god, everyone should disguise themselves together:
Did this middle-divided bangs save the people of the Three Realms in the previous life? Why do every fairy have to comb?
(from left to right, Meng Ziyi in "Agarwood So Shards", Yang Mi in "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and Zhang Jiani in "Eternal Love of Love")
Does the cold male god have to wear white clothes with half-dressed hair?
(from left to right, Xu Kai from "Eternal Love of Love", Luo Yunxi from "Fragrance of Love", and Cheng Yi from "Candy of Agarwood")
Look at these three Yang Zi, can you tell which one comes from "Fragrance of Love", which one comes from "Candy of Love", and which one comes from ": The Legend of the White Snake "?
(from left to right, Yan Dan, "Agarwood Soup" by Bai Yaoyao, and "Fragrant Mi" by Jin Mi)
What about Cheng Yi? Who are these two Si Feng from "Liuli" and who are Ying Yuan from "Agarwood Rusha"?
(on the left is Si Feng in "Liuli", and on the right is Ying Yuan in "Agarwood and Soup")
is not just them, Liu Xueyi and Ren Jialun have also acted in several fairy tales. Their styles in different dramas can also be played together and watched...
(Liu Xueyi comes from "Liu Li", "Meeting You Again in the Fallen Flower Season", and "Eternal Love of Love")
(Ren Jialun's left comes from "The Legend of the White Snake in the Sky", and the right comes from "First Meet You, Just Like an Old Friend")
I have another question that I can't figure out. It is obvious that the emperors in many fairy tales dramas are not the same actors, but why do they look like they look the same at first glance?
(Part 1 is the Emperor of Heaven in "Fragrance" and played by He Zhonghua; the lower is the Emperor of Heaven in "Character Soup" and played by Zhu Yongteng)
Thanks to the fairy tale drama, allowing all viewers to experience the pain of face blindness.
What's worse is that the palace and special effects world in the fairy tale drama both look very similar, It's true that there is only one construction team in your fairy world.
This is the residence of the water god in "Fragrant honey":
This is the residence of the Immortal Lord Beiming in "Agarwood is like shavings":
It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
This kind of scene where a group of immortals gather in the palace for a meeting, similar palace + same shape = double the same buff style. Who can tell which fairy tale drama he is watching?
(Part 1 is "Agarwood Like Shards" and "Ashes of Love" below)
One more thing, Now, in addition to "sharing" the palace and the heaven, fairy dramas will also "sharing" the immortal system and worldview. Just feel that people like Emperor and the Supreme Immortal are all wholesale in domestic fairy dramas.
In reality, we lament that "it is difficult for poor families to produce noble children", Unexpectedly, the class of gods is becoming more and more solidified.
The protagonist in the ancient fairy tale drama can also be a mortal to cultivate and become an immortal. The current fairy tale dramas value blood inheritance more than feudal society.
is born with a fairy fetus and is noble. If the little demon and fairy want to stand out, they become a villain who is "unfair".
What is more serious than the similarity of the human design is that The story is similar to .
The former fairy dramas include " Legend of Sword and Fairy " and " Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" which talk about the growth of a young man;
also talk about immortals and have to go through thousands of hardships. " Travels to the East " that can only be achieved through hardships;
There is also " The spring is bright and Zhu Bajie " that can save the people without delaying the death of love...
What about now? The only serious thing in the fairy tale drama is: in love.
If you like to fall in love, just talk. The key is that These gods are in no novelty when they fall in love!
Come on, let me summarize their routines for you.
The male protagonist is full of X Gram, while the female protagonist is often a happy little waste, and then the two of them will not know each other without fighting.
heroine: Ah, this emperor who is popular all over the heaven is nothing more than that.
Male protagonist: Oh, this ignorant fairy actually has something.
The male protagonist was attracted by her while looking at the female protagonist and was attracted by her. The female protagonist slowly saw that the male protagonist had lived for tens of thousands of years but no one understood it. The two began to have an ambiguous relationship.
Once they start to be sweet, the time to start to be abused will come. If you don’t dance, Zhuxiantai, which is not the heroine of the fairy tale, will come.
The heroine jumped in front, drawing a line with the hero with despair;
The hero was chasing behind, revealing a sad face of "I have difficulties, why don't you understand?"
As for why every heaven has a Zhuxiantai or Tianxingtai or Wuqiao, it is probably because the gods and immortals are all extreme sports enthusiasts... If you don’t jump a little, you can’t show how tragic your abusive love is.
Speak well to solve the misunderstanding? What does not exist, how can gods not seize the opportunity to reincarnate and experience life without experiencing the opportunity.
(The male and female protagonists of "Liuli" have been reincarnated for ten lives...)
Sometimes I suspect that they either want to fall in love or play the immersive version of " Sims ". The protagonists such as
have experienced enough reincarnation, and will return to the heaven and continue to fall in love under the name of saving the people of the world.
When you need to sprinkle sugar, the people have to save the hero and the heroine; when you need to be heartbroken, the people have to save them separately.
Although all living beings in the Three Realms are tortured, this is not important. After all, what the gods have lost is love!
Many viewers complained that "Agarwood Soup" will know the ending at the beginning. Isn't it because most of the plots in the drama are routines that everyone has already seen.
Why does Xianxia drama become so homogeneous?
I think in a sense, are no longer truly complete "dramas", but are piled up of various "hot elements".
Silly White Sweet Fairy + Cold Emperor is a certified and can be explosive, so copy it in large quantities.
Reincarnation seems to be a feature of a drama, so add it in batches.
Viewers like to see it? Then let the male and female protagonists kiss more!
can maintain the popularity? Then let the male and female protagonists torture each other!
Is it a popular point to sprinkle sugar? That must speed up the pace of sweet interaction between the male and female protagonists!
As for whether these elements will be disharmonious, will it make the plot difficult to logically self-consistent , will it be too uninnovative, maybe it is not that important.
may be for the drama party, at least these are put in and the clips are pulled out and cut, which can not only make the plot hot searches, but also make a wave of attention on short video platforms.
From this perspective, "Agarwood is like shavings" is very typical.
From actor to character design to story direction, every aspect of it is a verified "hot product".
Yang Zi and Cheng Yi have both acted in big-name fairy tale dramas. The silly and sweet + cold man is also a likable combination in the romance category. The plot is both cruel and sweet enough, and the story details also have the shadow of previous dramas.
is just the weak reputation of "Agarwood and Soup" at the moment, which shows one thing: no matter how "hot" or the elements are, if they are repeated too many times, the audience will feel tired.
Those who made their predecessors ascend to the altar may one day become the key to the failure of future generations.
Some creators may have forgotten that the reason why was the first hit was probably just telling a good story seriously.
