Fresh themes are surprisingly successful, what tricks can you play in ancient puppet dramas?

　　The costume idol drama (referred to as the ancient puppet drama) seems to usher in its own spring again. The two episodes of "Acquaintance with Jun Chu" and "Just Like the Return of an Old Man" have been broadcast consecutively. "As soon as the broadcast started, the data was dazzling.

The ancient puppet drama that has been popular for more than ten years, in fact, the wind direction and trend have been changing.

In the past two years, the fantasy genre of Xianxia has gradually declined, and the theme of martial arts and martial arts in the overhead dynasties has been more able to come out of the circle.

Moreover, ancient puppet dramas with large volumes, big names, and large productions are likely to be misfired, while small productions with fresh themes are more likely to win by surprise.

Anti-routine chasing husband and female double Sa characters

　　"Just Like the Return of the Dead" is about to come to an end, and "Best Wishes" and "Let's Try the World" are closely linked. Recently, the momentum of ancient puppet dramas is on the rise. Puppet drama brings a different narrative angle.

　　Divided into two parts, "Acquaintance with Jun Chu" and "Just Like the Return of an Old Man", both of which were adapted from Jiu Lu Feixiang's novel "The Story of the Shark". The sadomasochistic story of the two will end with a happy ending of their wedding.

"Blessing Qing" starring Yuan Bingyan and Zheng Yecheng was launched on April 16. It was adapted from the novel "My Lady of Jinyiwei" written by Yiren Suiguang. The story of Leng Jun Jin Lin Wei and Shen Yan's fancy chase.

This 22-episode costume sweet drama staged an anti-routine love model, which can be said to be the ancient version of the domineering female president's way of chasing her husband.

The county owner Liu Ling used various tricks such as tracking, investigation, encounters, and hard-to-get-together, just to catch Jin Linwei and Shen Yan.

But in fact, this is a reversal story in which the female protagonist is flirting and being flirted, and the male protagonist wants to retreat and refuses to welcome.

　　The costume drama "Let's Try the World" starring Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi, which was broadcast on April 18, was positioned as a major production series on the video platform. The number of broadcasts on the first day exceeded 130 million, which shows its traffic effect.

The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Qing Lengyue. The original is a martial arts novel with high scores The character design and the pairing of men and women have all added highlights to "Let's Try the World".

　　In the play, the male protagonist Feng Lanxi is the noble son of Fengguo, who walks the rivers and lakes under the name of Heifengxi.

The female protagonist Feng Xiyun is the princess of Feng Guo, who roams the rivers and lakes under the name of Bai Fengxi.

The two who hid their identities met when they traveled in the arena. Although there was a rift from time to time, they always had the same temperament. Finally, they formed a "white wind and black breath" to join forces and cracked many of the mysteries of the rivers and lakes.

Both of them have peerless looks, which can be summarized as "Women all over the world love Feng Lanxi, and men all over the world love Bai Fengxi", which can be said to be the top configuration of Jack Sue and Mary Sue.

Word-of-mouth differentiation, fooling the audience and being criticized

　　Idolization is the core soul of ancient puppet drama, which involves whether the love scene can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, each has its own eyes, and the audience's comments are also inconsistent.

"I wish you good luck" is a sweet drama in ancient costumes. Some people like its straight-ball plot, and some people complain that it looks like a wild horse.

Some people like the high sweetness of love, and some people hate industrial saccharin.

　　Because most of the ancient puppet dramas use traffic actors as the leading actors, this has formed more and more obvious circle barriers. Inside and outside the fan circle are often polarized in word-of-mouth, and they are each other's "Aga Blow" and "Aga Black".

Yang Yang in "Let's Try the World" reversed the poor casting of "Ugly Guy in Ancient Costumes", but his performance has caused controversy.

In the eyes of fans, Yang Yang's performance in the play restores the original depiction of Feng Lanxi's "elegant and elegant", and believes that he is elegant and full of extravagance.

In the eyes of passersby and audiences, Yang Yang's performance was too poised, rigid and awkward, like a stiff neck.

　　Zhao Lusi, who became popular with "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", has appeared in many sweet puppet dramas. Her round facial features are like the face of the heroine of sweet dramas, and it is not a problem to play the quirky ghost horse girl.

However, to perform Bai Fengxi, who is peerless and commanding the world, is more than cute, not enough domineering, and lacks convincing.

The character of the princess Liu Ling in "Best Wishes" is also very different from that of the actor Yuan Bingyan herself. Yuan Bingyan responded that Liu Ling's operation made her unable to resist.

　　In the past two years, ancient puppet dramas with high expectations of big productions and big names have been constantly thrown into the street, and the word-of-mouth reviews of ancient puppet dramas have declined sharply because of the decline in their routines, plots and textures.

A chance encounter is slow motion, a mistake is a magic circle, a deep love is a long shot, and the performance of love scenes is weak.

At the same time, cutouts, special effects of five hairs, studio-style costumes, eyeshadow palette makeup effects, plastic-like props, etc., have all caused damage to the reputation of ancient puppet dramas.

Recently, there has also been a new "flickering" method in which the male protagonist's figure relies on wearing muscle clothes and costumes rely on printing.

　　In contrast to big productions, some small-scale dark horse dramas are constantly emerging.

In 2020, "Liu Li" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", last year's "Zuofu" and "The Royal Gift", etc., created a new type of screenwriter crossing, entering business, and solving suspenseful cases.

There is also the sadistic aesthetics of sadomasochistic performances in "Chousheng Like the Old". These works have brought some hope to the ancient puppet drama that is about to be drowned in saliva.
