"Long Song Xing" presents the inner "Tao" in an innovative form, and is an exploration of the two-dimensional culture seeking value placement

Infused with family and country feelings, this juvenile ambition is immature but touching

  Young Atou desperately reported in front of the battle, and shattered Ashele's plan to raid 㮶州 in disguise as reinforcements.

As soon as Gongsun Cishi and Li Changge, who were guarding the northern border of Datang, gave orders, ambushes were everywhere.

At this moment, a huge personal death and family and national sentiments came together. Li Changge broke through the city gate to challenge. The picture gradually changed from real people to comics. Wan Ma Qiqi, blood shadow knife light, all entered the two-dimensional world.

  The costume drama "Long Song Xing" is being broadcast on Tencent Video, ranking first among online dramas.

In the play, there are scenes of real people blending with comics, and the connection between reality and reality not only freezes the famous scenes for the audience in innovative forms, but also exaggerates the situation and environment that makes the blood of young people diverge.

From the perspective of academic circles, this is the projection of the two-dimensional culture in the three-dimensional world. Whether you can find the cultural resonance of today from the strong fiction of the comic itself depends on what value and aesthetic soil the creator puts the story in.

  After 20 episodes, the trend of the drama gradually became clear.

It is a personal log of the young girl Li Changge's pursuit of her inner "Dao" during her grind. It is a clear love story between her and the young Ashyl Falcon from cherishing each other to knowing each other to guarding peace side by side, and even more about them and Li Leyan, Haodu, etc. A group of young people from the self-focused love, hatred and hatred to the collective growth portrait of the righteousness of the family and the country.

In the great atmosphere of the early Tang Dynasty, how a group of young people disturbed the situation and how to protect their homes. Such passionate young people seem to be naive but also moving.

The core of "Daguai Upgrade" lies in rebuilding inner beliefs along the way

  The background of the series is set in the early Tang Dynasty, which fictionalizes the role of Li Changge, the lord of Yongning County.

Born in the royal family, she learned literary and martial arts from her second uncle Li Shimin since she was a child.

Once the brothers smashed the wall, Li Changge's house was overthrown and fled to the people.

The revenge of the parents must be reported, and the orthodox of the East Palace must also be advocated. With two major things on his back, the girl begins the road of redemption.

  In Chang'an City, after stealing the Prince's Seal, she fled all the way. At first, she wanted to go to the border to lobby the defenders to return to Chang'an.

In Youzhou, her father's former ministry wanted to take advantage of revenge. In Yuzhou, she tried to find a helping hand from the former Sui Jiang general.

It seems to be "killing monsters and upgrading", but peeling off the core, this road is actually a process of rebuilding the girl's inner beliefs.

When her family was overthrown for the first time, "revenge" was her dedicated "Tao".

But on the way to escape, she gradually got acquainted with Datang outside the imperial family and Chang'an city.

Among the people, it is difficult for anyone to empathize with the grievances within the royal family, and even the talented and generous Li Shimin seems to be more popular.

People's hearing and witnessing gradually disintegrated her inner stubbornness.

  Until Ezhou, Li Changge met an important lesson on the road of life, and the spiritual order was completely reconstructed.

When she first arrived, she was amazed at the prosperity and harmony in the city of Yuzhou, which is located in the northern border and has been war-torn for years.

Everyone is praising the governor, Sun Heng, who loves the people like a son and manages the city well.

After assisting the Assassin to fend off the enemy, she and Gongsun Heng had a conversation about torturing the soul.

Defend the city, what is it?

"What I want to defend is not a military fortress, but the city of Yuzhou where thousands of households live in peace and life." This is the "Tao" that Gongsun Heng insists on, and it also reveals Li Changge's "Tao" in questioning his heart.

When she saw that the other party Ning exchanged her life for the well-being of the people in the city, her mind changed in order of importance. The protection of the family and the country was placed before revenge and hatred, and the people of the world placed before the imperial grievances.

  Once a girl is inspired by her grand ambition, her selfish pain will weaken, and she will be able to take on a greater mission and responsibility if she breaks out of the shackles of the "personal self".

Regarding Li Changge, she devoted herself to the cause of "going to live and die in the country to avoid misfortune and fortune", and was no longer overwhelmed by "revenge"; it was also because of the qualitative reversal of the "Tao" that she pursued in her heart. After she witnessed Tang Taizong Li Shimin's personal conquest, she might be impressed by his ability to govern the country and his courage to lead the country, and could no longer lift the blade of revenge.

  The same is the progression of the "Tao". Only when Li Changge and Ashley Falcon are willing to guard peace side by side because of the same pursuit of "Guotai and people's peace", they have a solid foundation of mutual affection.

The freehand brushwork of the two-dimensional element, focusing on the proposition that the hero comes from a young age

  The unique feature of "Long Song Xing" is the intertextuality between the content and the comics.

Although this genre is not new, the early "Prince of Tennis" and the recent "Nodame Cantabile" and "Soul of the Game" have attracted high attention.

But "Long Song Xing" is a rare work of the same type rooted in the true Chinese tradition.

The family and country sentiments, the style of the early Tang Dynasty, the humanities etiquette, and the oriental philosophy in the play are all emotionally closer to the audience.

  The other is special, it cares about the choice of the protagonist.

For the history of the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and the rule of Zhenguan are the usual options for historical dramas.

However, "Long Song Xing" took a different approach. The monarchs and courts were the driving force to promote the drama, and the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty and striving for governance were only the important context of the story.

The real protagonist and the details of the drama are delivered to the spirited young people.

Among them are the story of the princess in trouble, the story of the transfiguration of street wanderers, and the drama of the young Lang Jun Xianyi fighting against the gods.

The details of all kinds of heroes coming out of youth and saving the world with their own power are not written in historical dramas.

But in this work, the freehand brushwork of the two-dimensional element fits the proposition that the hero is born in a young age, and it flies with the hearts of the people with the arbitrariness of the hot-blooded young man.

  For example, Atou, he was just a street wanderer when he first appeared, relying on thieves to fill his stomach.

After following Li Changge, his knowledge changed the situation. A teenage boy determined to grow up to be a general, and even slipped out of the city to rescue soldiers when he was trapped in the city.

Atou, who died in front of the battle, received a gracious encounter in the name of a general behind him.

The little people have big ambitions, and the little boys have the ambition to defend their homes and the country. A Dou's footage evoked the mood of young audiences. The "tears" and "moving" emotions in the full screen barrage are actually in pursuit of anime with young people. "Those Things That Hare That Year" came down the same line.

  Another example is Li Shimin's daughter, Li Leyan, because she remembers that she has been close to the family since she was a sister Li Changge, and she has also taken the initiative to enter the world.

How can the flowers in the greenhouse with no distinction of grains, lack of diligence in all four bodies, and dripping flowers live in the gust of wind and heavy rain among the people?

She was abducted by human traffickers, suffered from starvation, and was later taken by a kind-hearted person to study in an embroidery workshop. Gradually, she has the ability to support herself, and she also sees the lives of the people and her own insignificance.

When she returns to the court, this piece of folk wanderings will become an important treasure, enabling her to understand the suffering of Jiarong, and eventually become a responsible princess for the people.

  In the follow-up plot, Li Changge and Ashley Falcon will also go through more difficult hurdles together.

The key to the success of "Long Song Xing" lies in strategy, suspense, and struggle. Whether this group of young people always adhere to the righteousness and benevolence, and insist on the innocent heart of climbing up.
