Matters' Guide to Chasing Dramas - How to Chase Dramas in Past and Present Lives

Today I'm going to recommend my two favorite mainland dramas over the years!
Since it is a mainland drama, it is inevitable to use the word fan circle, and because of the nature of the second drama, it is inevitable to mention politics.
But the tonality of the whole article is still as always, I hope everyone can read it easily, so it will not emphasize or focus on the political part. But if my choice of words makes you uncomfortable, you can leave a message for advice rationally!

After the vaccination, we will chase the drama~

I have a special preference for chasing dramas. If there is a crew that I like, I will go forward and backward to follow the works of the same crew in one breath.

At the beginning, it was the " Langya Bang " produced by Kong Sheng and Li Xue of Shandong Film and Television Media Group (hereinafter referred to as "Shanying") that made me develop this ruffian. This drama also broke my limit of playing dramas. . After careful calculation, I should have played this drama more than a hundred times.

All the occasions where white noise is required, whether commuting, driving, or working, I will turn on this play and play it in the background, and I can even recite the lines at the end, which is just fine.

Langya Bang

The play "Langya Bang" begins with the story of a young marshal, the most dazzling boy in Jinling City - Lin Shu. Because his father, the commander-in-chief of the Scarlet Flame Army, had a high level of power, which caused the emperor's fear, the emperor took advantage of the fact that their father and son were on an expedition, and encircled the entire Scarlet Flame Army in one go.
Lin Shu fell into a deep valley under the protection of his father's life. Although he survived, he was also infected with the first strange poison in the world - the fire and cold poison.
Later, with the efforts of the two generations of Langya Pavilion masters with superb medical skills, Xiaoshu finally got rid of the poison after peeling his bones, but Xiaoshu has since become extremely weak, his voice and appearance have completely changed, and he can't live for long. .

Also because of his limited lifespan, Xiaoshu wanted to take revenge for his parents and the dead Red Flame Army brothers while he was still able to move freely.
So, relying on the economic support of Langya Pavilion, he assembled the rest of the Chiyan Army and established the world's first gang "Jiang Zuomeng", and Xiaoshu changed his name to Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu intervened in the battle for the throne of the imperial court by relying on the power of the first gang in Jianghu, and also used the power of the opposition to negotiate and interact with the surrounding countries. For him, even if he can no longer defend his homeland on the front line, he does not want to stay in a corner to recuperate. He still wants to do his best to protect this great river and mountains.

The "Langya Bang" filmed by "Mountain Shadow" has a compact plot and reasonable logic. It completes the stories that are not fully told in the original work, and even elevates the original work to another level.

At this time, I have to mention that the original story is as exciting as the eight o'clock file. When the author wrote the article in "Starting Point" from the beginning, the protagonist of the whole novel was not Lin Shu, and he was BL-oriented, but then the work became popular. After that, he immediately turned his face and revamped the novel, ignoring the dark history of BL.
Finally, after the author joined the "Mountain Shadow" crew together, the version released was different from the book version.

In a word, you can still see different versions of "Langya Bang" completed by the author from different platforms, but after I read all the versions and fanfiction, I still love this version shot by "Mountain Shadow"!

"Mountain Shadow" has more ink on the hatred of the country and the family, the etiquette of the ruler and the minister, and accompanying the king like a tiger, so that the audience can understand and accept why Mei Changsu is unwilling to let go of the past, and why he insists on dragging Win a weak body to fulfill your dreams.
It has to be said that the final work of "Mountain Shadow" is also the version with the most tension.
( Of course, even I, who didn't pay attention to BL Xiang, laughed with my aunt from beginning to end, and was chasing the drama with satisfaction )

The play "Langya Bang" is not only popular in China, but also constantly rebroadcast in Taiwan. It is estimated that its classic position is only comparable to "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem". (These two dramas are still the number of "replays" in Taiwan's city tunes and the top five mainland dramas in the reruns until recent years.)

In addition to the support of the production team of "Shanying", the reason for the success of "Langya Bang", the superb acting skills of several leading actors are also very enjoyable to watch! Especially Hu Ge's Mei Changsu!

Lin Shu-Mei Changsu: played by Hu Ge

The propaganda team made a series of propaganda for Hu Ge, who had a major car accident when he was young, and still insisted on acting until now after a life-and-death juncture.
Not to mention that because of the car accident, Hu Ge still had a scar that could not be covered on his forehead, and his eyes were obviously bigger or smaller, just like Mei Changsu in the play was obviously weak. They will not flinch because of this obvious weakness, but will accept their state and set off again.

Aside from the above-mentioned beautifying details, the actor Hu Ge has really reached a beautiful moment when his acting skills begin to become proficient. There are details everywhere in his eyes and his body language.

He cried, and the hearts of the mother-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and sister in front of the TV followed...

He scolded, and the mother-in-law, mother, sisters and sisters in front of the TV also scolded " Xiao Jingyan, please stop for me ", " Xiao Jingyan, you are affectionate and righteous, why don't you have a brain ?"

It's not just girls who like to watch this drama!
Many boys and friends around me have also chased after this episode, and even my dad followed us for a complete round.
Then, my dad asked me why he didn't stay with Xiao Jingyan(?!) (Oh! Dad!! You know too much!!!!)

In a word, Hu Ge's frown, smile, and even his eyes are really charming. This is also the first time I have finished chasing Hu Ge's leading role. .

In fact, if you want to get the most movie and TV enjoyment from "Langya Bang", you really can't miss the "Pretender" filmed by "Mountain Shadow"!

pretender

Most of the starring roles of "Langya Bang" have "crossed" from the ancient costume "Lang Ya Bang" to the "Pretender" of the Anti-Japanese War drama.

The main axis of the story of "The Pretender" revolves around the Ming brothers and sisters.
After the death of her parents, the eldest sister of the Ming family took up the career of the Ming family alone. In an accident, her brother and sister were rescued by a passing woman. The woman died of serious injuries and a young son was left behind. The Ming brothers and sisters took the child home and took care of him as their own younger brother.

Because the reasons for the death of the Ming family's parents were not simple, they also planted the seeds of the Ming family's brothers and sisters wanting to do their best for the country. Lou, on the other hand, became a multi-faceted spy (there is a real person in history). He used his identity as a high-ranking official in the Wang puppet government on the table, while providing information for the military system, and at the same time feigning with the Japanese, but the focus is on developing underground Party organization.

(The original work of "The Pretender" - Spy on Shanghai Beach (by Zhang Yong ) is really a serious disc war novel, which is very different from the works after filming)

I thought that "The Pretender" would not have the chance to be broadcast on TV in Taiwan (although the paid Taiwan streaming platform has put on the show early), after all, the main point of the plot is to describe how the Communist Party (underground party) replaces the corrupt Kuomintang (military) process.
But maybe "Langya Bang" has been rebroadcasted in Taiwan for many years and still has good ratings, so the TV station in Taiwan still tried every means to make "Pretender" broadcast successfully, but it seems that it was removed after just one episode.

Since I'm not familiar with the history of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, I can't quite understand the ideas and persistence of the characters in the play.
In particular, how did the male protagonist (the younger brother of the Ming family, played by Ming Tai, played by Hu Ge) be brainwashed by the heroine to join the army and go to the underground party? Really baffling.
In my eyes, this love line with roots and red roots is even more of a failure of the whole play (helplessly spread out).

But it doesn't matter, as long as you block all the female lead shots, you can still get a great drama!
(Like I will never put a photo of the heroine in this article! Of course, I also forgot her appearance, and I have no impression of her acting skills)

Okay, after the story is over (wiping sweat), let's talk about the surprises that each actor brought me!

Concubine Jing-Der Spiegel: played by Liu Mintao

Let's talk about the eldest sister, the actor of Mingjing, Liu Mintao.

In the "Langya List", she is a concubine Jing who has climbed all the way from the cold palace.
For Concubine Jing and Prince Jing, the throne originally had no appeal, but if they had to climb to that position to avenge Xiaoshu, then they would be willing to fight. Therefore, in order to take revenge, Concubine Jing was in charge of the news in the palace, and she also covered the sky with one hand, so that the emperor would not notice Mei Changsu's true identity.

After the demonstration of Concubine Jing, her eyes were always clear, gentle, reserved but powerful.
Even when she found out that Mei Changsu was actually Xiaoshu, whom she held in her hand, she could only shed tears with extreme restraint, and then tried her best to help Xiaoshu realize his dream.

But in the "Pretender", she is a big sister who has no principle and loves her younger brother infinitely.

The opponent's actor is also Hu Ge, but her doting eyes are completely different. Compared to when she played Concubine Jing, she looked at Hu Ge with the loving eyes of elders looking at juniors. In "Pretender", she has more eyes With more indulgence, even the expression is completely outgoing and doesn't seem to be restrained!

In addition to Liu Mintao, there is also actor Wang Kai who is pleasantly surprised!

King Jing-Mingcheng: Wang Kai

King Jing, played by Wang Kai in "Langya Bang", is really a buffalo, a veritable one!

But in the "pretender", the whole person seems to be alive. Liu Mintao also mentioned in several interviews that in the play "The Pretender", Wang Kai's eyes are a play . Especially when interacting with Jin Dong

In addition to appreciating the excellent acting skills of the actors, the noisy daily life among the three brothers of the Ming family in "The Pretender" is also very attractive.
How happy it is after watching it, it lays the foundation for how sadistic it will be when it ends in the future.

The playful interaction in ordinary days is the happiness that is difficult to enjoy in times of war.

(Not to mention, we all know that after that period, there is still the Cultural Revolution waiting. Therefore, the extension of the old Ford is only more abusive than the most abusive...)

However, both dramas have had sequels over the years, and I....none of them.

Because, although I believe in the quality of the production of "Mountain Shadow", for me, when I watch a movie, I can watch the fun of watching the same group of people pass through, and when the same production team shows the stalks that echo each other in different dramas, That kind of fun is even more of a plus.

Just like I recently finished watching the first season of the Korean drama "Doctor Witty Life", in addition to chasing the second season of the on-file, I have already followed the "Witty Cell Life" in the previous "Witty Series" by the same production team. It's over (good-looking!!!), and now I'm trying to catch up with Jessie's recommendation of "Reply 1988" from the same production team.

If it's not a sequel to the original cast, it's very difficult for me to attract! And I'm also afraid that it will spoil the goodness of the first episode

Life may be difficult and difficult to solve at any time, and it is very suitable to relax yourself during the process of chasing dramas!
