He has been a screenwriter for almost 20 years and has also stepped into the ranks of producers early. Dozens of works have accumulated, and the "Yuzheng Drama" industry chain has already matured. Before 2015, represented by the "Palace" series and "Beauty" series, Yu Zheng's high-rated "Thunder" became a peculiar scene in the film and television circle.

Full of topics plus common themes, to draw attention to the play
From Yu-style "thunder dramas" to the upsurge of plagiarism, Yu Zheng himself has already become a highly topical and controversial figure in the film and television market, so every drama related to Yu Zheng will cause great attention. Yu Zhengxin is new, and his audience loves his appointments enthusiastically, and hates his audience to speak up. This kind of drama brand that carries its own topical genes may have the gold-signature noon sunshine and "Yu Zheng drama" after Qiong Yao drama, Jin Yong drama, and Hai Yan drama. In these years, Yu Zhengju, who has gone through a "black and red" path, is slowly positioning himself.
Plays that were personally a screenwriter before 2015, such as "The Last Grid", "Rouge Snow", "Lock Qingqiu", "Beauty Ingenuity", "Palace Lock Heart Jade", etc., either the "Sorrowful Woman" of the Republic of China, or the Qing Palace "Palace" "Fighting women", although the drama is based on the twists and turns of the story, but the creative theme is always based on a well-known security framework with guaranteed viewing ratings. The "Palace" series is a typical way to squeeze out the commercial value of a subject. Most of Yu Zheng's plays are directed by female audiences. Regardless of the age and background, they tell stories of bitter women, strong women, and young women who love and hate each other, and then use the audio-visual aesthetic package to cater to the masses. A gorgeous product that attracts the attention of female audiences.
If you look closely, you will find that the story core, creative theme, or the intention of the work in "Yu Zhengju" has a common and familiar setting.
Needless to say, the "Palace" series and "Beauty" series were hot topics at the time. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After writing and producing a large number of palace fighting dramas as a base, only then has "Yanxi Raiders", which is known to allow Yu Zheng to counterattack. When Yanxi Raiders aired in 2018, the Qing Palace fight drama has gone downhill, but the drama has taken a different approach to capture the most fashionable elements-anti-routing cool feeling and anti-routing female emotional settings, and modern workplace values are also highlights. . IQ Online's anti-routine "Black Lotus" is the label of this drama and the biggest topic point. Wei Wei is a costume heroine that too many viewers look forward to seeing. The emotional setting of the female has given the drama a certain depth. In the palace fight drama where women are always intriguing and guilty, the relationship between life and death of Wei Yan and Queen Fucha is commendable. This emotional thing is well shaped in the palace fight drama. It's very attractive.
Although the biography of Hao Lan in 2019 emphasizes that it is the heroine of female awakening, it is still a large-scale court drama in the Qin Dynasty.
The most attractive focus of the show in the "Flame Military Academy" in 2019 is "Republic of China Mulan". The young girl Xie Xiang joined the army on behalf of her brother, and the woman dressed in men's clothing entered the fiery military academy. She became a classmate and comrade in arms with cynical rich man Gu Yanframe. Xie Xiang must not only conceal the secret of women's dressing as men in cruel training, but also gradually grow up in the blood and rain of war ... If you want to write in modern times, maybe Mulan's story can only be extended to the Republic of China. . Although Yu Zheng said that the story is supported by the character prototype and the news of the Republic of China, it is undeniable that the story element itself has a sense of familiarity and topicality.
Yu Zhengju is very good at various eye-catching plays of "Gong Dou", "Dou Dou" and "Xing Dou". He knows how to attract audiences through climax. In "Bianbian is not Begonia Red", in the first half of the story structure and plot promotion, it is still "fighting" as a support. This drama has been broadcast for more than a dozen episodes. Among the various intrigues of the pros and cons, the famous celebrity actor Xiao Rui, who has become the highest box office in Beijing, was quickly defeated as a skirmisher without a cone, and even had to fight back to her home. The road of the mixed pear garden. In "Bianbian is not Begonia Red", the various situations of Liyuan in the chaos of the world, the "drama" enters the drama entangled love and hatred, whether from the perspective of the Republic of China drama, the anti-Japanese war drama or the celebrity and businessman entanglement story, to the audience Say no stranger. The main character in the play, Shang Xirui, also has the long-standing shadows of famous Peking opera masters such as Cheng Yiqiu and Xu Biyun. And there are many good works before this large-frame story, such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Into the Capital", "Mei Lanfang" and so on. "Bianbian is not Begonia Red" as a TV drama with a large volume, the peers in front of the fight, Shang Xirui's adherence to the Peking Opera during the Anti-Japanese War can be fully spread, the story of the character is more twists and turns, the fate is more grinded. Of course, the emotional line of the troubled brothers that ignited the topic of this drama is also at the forefront of the drama creation trend.
Traditional elements mix and match explosive stories, new aesthetic style increases scores
In "Bianbian is not Begonia Red", the service of Taoism, the beauty of the pear garden created by Wumei, and the classic sings of Peking Opera greatly enhanced the quality of the part of the drama. In the play, Shuiyun Lou's class leader Shang Rui sang the classic excerpts such as "Drunk Concubine", "The Palace of Longevity" and "Strictly Singing Songs". Costumes bring visual impact to the audience. Exquisite furniture, architecture, Soviet-embroidered costumes, Beijing-embroidered costumes, and a steady filter make the drama sublime.
The visual aesthetics with unique texture and unique picture style are the characteristics of Yuzheng in the past two years. But the formation of this aesthetic style is related to the needs of the audience. The moment the "Thunder Theater" became obsolete, the costume boutique dramas on the market came. Immediately after, the "Langyao Bang" broadcast in 2015 brought the costume drama back to its aesthetic essence and began to reshape the quality of costume drama.
After 2015, Yu Zheng's screenplays also began to take on multiple themes and styles. For example, in 2016 he wrote the drama "Semi-Demon" in the Republic of China. Although the plot is old-fashioned and lacks word of mouth, The drama began, and the aesthetic pursuit of Yu Zheng changed. Gradually abandon the "Abao Se" style of color, and turn to the implicit and solemn pursuit of texture. In the words of oneself, it is the pursuit of film color. "Half-Demon City" drew most of the green and blue, and walked into the dark department. While in "Beauty Filling", Yu Zheng pursued "smart and clean, no variegated appearance, no drama without prospects, everything pays attention to symmetrical aesthetics, as few special effects as possible".
Since then, Yu Zheng began to serve as the artistic director of the play, trying new aesthetic styles and seeking a new direction for "Yu Zheng Opera". In "Feng Qiu Huang", Yu Zheng reshaped the visual style and began to follow the minimalist ancient style of painting. The improvement of the texture of the play embarked on the refined aesthetic style based on traditional cultural elements. In the play, Guan Xiaotong's shapes were spit out as airplane heads, and these shapes come from murals and works of art from the North and South Dynasties. They are the shapes that existed in the works of art at that time. The elegant tones in the play often give the audience the visual experience of ink painting.
Without the minimalist visual style and the overall aesthetics that rely on traditional culture, the style of the 2018 drama "Yanxi Raiders" may have lost a lot. "Yanxi Raiders" featuring low-saturation color and high-quality clothing has a huge visual gap with Abao's painting style and ancient costumes that lack aesthetics. Although the visual texture will not add points to the bad plot, it is a bonus item for relatively topical and attention-grabbing dramas. "Yanxi Raiders", like other dramas in ancient costumes, embarked on the road of spreading classical culture and intangible exquisite retro aesthetics, adding classical elements to the plot, and doing some extra work on the screen vision. Through the exquisite costume props and content settings, the show added pictures showing embroidery, tree flowers, velvet flowers and other intangible cultural heritage.
But it should be noted that the so-called texture, no matter how well-dressed, and the visual style are insignificant to a bad story. This is proved by Yu Zheng's Biography of Hao Lan. Morandi thickened filters, extremely detailed clothing, and the restoration of Qin's daily customs are all masterpieces, but these can't help this. Netizens have criticized the sword for taking a sharp approach to "tamper with" the history and the cliché. Great heroine story.
