Miscellaneous feelings of "Lands of Mountains and Rivers"

(I was almost finished writing it a few days ago, but I accidentally deleted it all. As soon as the inflated balloon leaked, it became lazy. This laziness lasted for a week...)

As a lover of Chinese danmei novels, it is impossible not to follow the drama. Basically, as soon as the news of the adaptation comes out, I will follow it all the way to the broadcast. After the broadcast, I will definitely watch two episodes before deciding whether to Don't give up (that is to say, in principle, you will catch up). Before the broadcast, I also knew that this drama was very confusing and no one liked it. Many drama review films mentioned that the number one battle or the anticipated work of the 101st year was postponed this year. drama. I originally thought of it this way, because apart from the fact that the author of the original book "Tian Yike" is a big P, and there is a fan of the author, the others seem to have no selling point; the original work is a work of P big ten years ago, and there is not even a fan of the original work. . And as far as the plot is concerned, I don't think you can watch the series "Seven Masters" independently. After all, Zhou Zishu's first half of his life was written in "Seven Masters", and you can't really feel it just by watching Tianya Ke. Zhou Zishu's exhausted state of mind that he would rather die than retire naked. Anyway, I wasn't optimistic about how good this movie would be. I just watched it based on the mentality of delaying the reform and must-see, and then I was frightened by the beggar (I have no resistance to the handsome guy who is down), so I chased it down, and then every two days I found that it suddenly became popular, and the Douban score was also very high. Up to now, Shanheling has been confirmed to be the third blockbuster drama after "Soul Soul" and "Chen Qingling", and the third pair of double male protagonists who flew to the front line immediately after the broadcast. Then, Shanhe Ling is the third Lu drama I have watched from beginning to end, the first two are SCI Mystery Case Collection and Chen Qingling. Although 36 episodes is still very long, it is much better than Chen Qingling's 50 episodes. Chen Qingling made me so tired of chasing at that time...

The plot of Tian Yike is simply summarized. It is about a retired FBI director and killer leader and a gang leader who travels in micro-service. The two enter the arena at the same time when they no longer want to live. After falling in love, their minds change and they strive to survive and redeem each other. In my description, it is a story about Xidu and Beibei who met and fought while raising Yang Guo and fell in love by the way. Shanheling has completely preserved the experience of the two protagonists getting to know each other and falling in love, but the main storyline has changed a lot. Surprisingly, in addition to the protagonist's pair and the seventh master's pair, the screenwriter even created an original pair by himself. The irrelevant hypocrite Zhao Jing and the villain King Scorpion got together for a righteous father-son relationship. Coupled with the release of the emotional drama of the two protagonists, everyone doubted when this drama came out. Why did this drama pass the trial? The plot is a crazy test at the bottom line of censorship, won't this make life more difficult for future delay dramas?

General complaints

Speaking of which, I am a lover of ancient stories, and I have high requirements for live-action dramas, especially martial arts and immortals who need martial arts scenes. I can't accept the use of hanging wire now. In the era when the stand-ins used real guns and live ammunition and the actors had a little bit of martial arts foundation, it's true that fighting scenes were not good-looking, but it's always true. Power or some borrowing, it will not fly too exaggerated; but the current hanging wire directly makes the actors fly, which is too fake. Xianxia is fortunate, anyway, immortals should be able to fly, but martial arts should not be able to that level. So 20 or 30 years ago, after the steel wire became popular, I stopped watching martial arts dramas. The light work of hanging the steel wire made me uncomfortable. In this series, sometimes Qinggong can fly more than a hundred meters, uh, this is martial arts, not immortals, and floating on water is not that great!

And because I'm not interested in Lu dramas, so I watched Chen Qingling in 2019, and I learned that the production of ancient costume dramas in China is different from before. The shooting is very incoherent, maybe two sentences are just a cut, and their actors may have long been used to it. , but more old-fashioned I really can't figure out how this keeps the emotions going. Of course, the movie may also be shot in this way, but the movie will carefully select the appropriate scenes for the actors, and it will not look too dramatic. How is it possible for a series? There's no American time. Therefore, you can often see very fake acting skills, that is, you can obviously know that the actor is not in the play, his emotions are not brought up, or he does not dare to speak too loudly for his image, and you will react when you watch it. There are also some contrived pictures for the sake of beauty, such as sleeping on your back and quilt will not mess up... Anyway, the flaws in the acting skills are quite obvious, I really can't feel the beauty of the artificial acting when I am used to real acting skills. And these shortcomings can also be seen in this book, and of course they will be disliked by me, so I will explain them here first.

script

The script is really well written. I think it looks better than the original. Of course, it may also be because of the video assistance. What I mean is that this is the case with the writings of the P major. There has always been a shortcoming of "the pattern is too big and it is not clear." It will be difficult to understand if you don't read it a few times. But she also has the spirit of a scholar-officer, and she always has the tradition of "literature conveys the truth", that is, a story always revolves around a theme, so if there are auxiliary tools, it will be easier to understand. The so-called auxiliary tools of course refer to audio and video, so Her writing is of the type that is very suitable for adaptation. The screenwriter is a die-hard fan of P University, and the production team should also respect her ideas, so this drama should have the essence of getting to P University when she wrote this article—she wanted to discuss "what is Jianghu". The writing of this part of the script is quite in-depth, that is, I will talk about the poor things later.

The emotional part even made everyone "tears flow out of their mouths". Youku tasted the sweetness of the first big IP delaying drama to calm down the soul. Although the unfinished ending was scolded, it immediately exploded as soon as it was broadcast. Obviously, there is room for delaying change. With the help of Chen Qingling, the scale is more than Youku, which is not on Tencent iQiyi, should still want to give it a try, so this, er, is not beautiful at all, right? The emotional line is very explicit. Except for the two people who didn't kiss or go to bed, no one could tell that they were lovers. They drove with their eyes every day, and their confidants were all clouds, all for the sake of passing the trial! See everyone's blood vessels. In addition, Youku put material tidbits very cheaply after the end, and many of the more blatant places that were deleted for fear of failing the trial were all put in the tidbits for everyone to see nosebleeds, which made the later delays how to live! Afraid of being targeted by the radio and television, so you filmed more reservedly? Who will see that. To be more explicit in order to compete in the market? It may be taken off the shelf before it is finished. It made everyone very embarrassed. Even "Haoyi Xing", which many rotten girls had been looking forward to since the previous year, avoided the postponement of the broadcast, not to mention the later ones. At least in the first half of this year, the world of Shanheling has not run away. Originally last year, everyone said that the male Tencent Love and Ai Jiyi (that is, the two major platforms, the two male protagonists and the two female protagonists, are in the ring), but it was actually broken by a small drama on Youku. layout. Looking at the current situation, we rotten girls will only say... Hahahahaha! Let's have two more games like this, we will be even more hilarious!

The ending is also very good. From the interview with my wife, we can know that the screenwriter wants to write BE. And as a BE lover, no matter how bad the previous story is, as long as the ending is BE, I can erase all my dislike of the previous one, not to mention the previous plot of this drama is not bad. I really like the super-abuse-level BE of "after the supporting characters line up to get the lunch box, the protagonist loves them to the death and finally overcomes all difficulties, but they are still separated from each other", so if this drama is really a BE, it will suit my appetite even more , I was watching it as a BE, so when I saw it later, I would always laugh and swear at my aunt XDD. It's a pity that the crew should also be concerned that the real BE will be electrocuted, so the finished product is OE, which means that the screenwriter's BE dream can be fulfilled at first glance, but if the audience is not happy, just add another five minutes. The kind that can HE.

I think this drama will have concerns about being afraid of BE. It should be based on the experience of Zhenhun being scolded before. One of the things that everyone scolded in the later stage of Zhenhun is the ending BE, and the reason why they scold this is because the original work is HE . So this "Easter Egg" in less than 10 minutes forced HE, but for me it was superfluous. But it is understandable, anyway, the original is HE, and the two of them have been fighting for more than half a year in the original story, and they will immediately become HE after filming, which is easy to satisfy the audience. (BTW I always feel that Zhou Zishu of the original work will come back one day...)

Then, the screenwriter is really good at hiding the love of the two protagonists in the play! Apart from the cryptic expressions of love in all kinds of poems, and from the very beginning, Lao Wen suddenly stalked Asu because he recognized him as a senior brother, and he touched his face and smelled it in order to smell the scent of Yirong Potion. , to help Asu comb her hair is to hide the arsenal key, there are serious reasons to explain, the number of paragraphs is really high, willing to bow down! And these are not only filmed, but also very beautiful. I think the entire crew must be very fond of them, right... In the tidbits, a big man (director) was very serious next to the guidance when shooting these ambiguous scenes. Interesting. So the delay in the filming must be because the entire crew is nibbling on CP, so that the pink bubble can be filmed seriously!

However, there are two things that I didn't show in the play, which I feel a little regretful. One is Zhang Chengling's martial arts talent, and the other is Cao Weining's half-toned literary accomplishment. Zhang Chengling is the hero of the starting point (my term is Yang Guo, that is, the hero who fights monsters and upgrades to accept the harem). This is what we have read the original book. If you have not read the original, you should not think that his "starting point" is in where. It's even more a pity for Xiao Cao. His literary quality is quite impressive. Without this section, most of the character's charm will be lost. Looking at the tidbits, it seems that I want to keep this feature of him, but I can't see it in the play.

actor

Besides the script, the second most important thing is the actors.

In the delay of the three blockbusters, at first glance, I felt that the casting was too good, only the soul was selected, as if it came out of the book, so I was very much looking forward to it at that time, and they did live up to their expectations, everyone said It was the two main characters who saved the drama. In Chen Qingling's words, the appearance of the two of Bo Xiao is very strange to me. They are two handsome guys who have seen it and forget it. I can't even tell who is who by looking at the stills (the best thing is, because they have eyes in the single-person stills. It's closed. After watching the whole drama, I went back to see the stills, and found that I still couldn't recognize XDD's face blindness is really serious).

As for this one, Zhang Zhehan's looks persuaded me very much at first. Gong Jun is very good looking, but his acting skills are average. In addition, Lao Wen had too many sexual harassment manipulations at the beginning, which was not attractive to me; and Zhang Zhehan, I really can't say that he looks good in his bun. Words are too unpalatable to my taste, so I frowned when Zhou Zishu applied for retirement in the first episode. His facial features are very concentrated, and the outer side of his face looks very wide. This kind of style is more suitable for "hair on the face". As long as the wide sideburns can be covered, the whole face will be different. Later, Asu retired and pretended to be ugly, her whole face was covered with hair, and although she painted a fake beard, she really looked a lot better. In addition, she had a decadent handsomeness and was full of man, and then I decided to continue watching.

The scary thing is that Asu is a character with strong stamina. When he looks at it, he finds out, Omg, how can this guy get more beautiful the more he looks. Just as netizens commented, "beautiful but not a mother", she still carries the heroic appearance of a man, which is too in line with Asu's "battle-damaged beauty". The more you look, the more beautiful you are. It's not a matter of getting used to seeing or not, because I don't feel that way about Gong Jun's old Wen. I think it has something to do with him being a ten-year-old drama character. After he entered the drama, he was Asu and Asu was him, and then as he said in an interview: "Asu will not force you to see Shanheling, But you guys will definitely like Asu after watching Shanheling." Like that, I really loved Asu to death. In episode 32, he smiled and said to Lao Wen, "You can save it." I was shocked, and the love was so full in his eyes! I fell immediately. His positioning of Asu is "gentle and strong". I think he performed this interpretation very well, so Asu gradually became popular, and the number of people who liked him began to gradually increase in the later stages of the show. In short, his performance of Asu has a lot of stamina. I am quite poisoned now. I have to review Asu's beauty in the prosperous world every day.

As for the other actors, the biggest difference between this one and the first two hit dramas is that most of the roles have been cast by veteran actors. Compared with the other actors in this series, Gong Jun's acting skills are not so good, but comparing him to Chen Qingling's actors, he is still "not bad", which shows how good Chen Qingling's actors are. Oops, it's hard to say. As for Zhenhun, it was because the two main characters acted so well that the others seemed to have poor acting skills. Therefore, in comparison, the overall quality of Shanheling's actors is quite high, and even if Asu is not so charming, I should still see it. All in all, the cast also adds a lot to the show.

Targeted Tucao

Blowing back and blowing, the one who should complain can't help but want to spit.

The biggest flaw is of course the (sad and hateful) thing about the poor crew, which caused the quality of the last few episodes to be greatly reduced, which will be discussed later.

Then Lao Wen played the flute at the beginning, but the opening song was the flute, which I couldn't bear. Although it's a small thing, but because the song is so good, I won't skip the opening sequence, and I can see it in every episode, so it's very frustrating.

Also, it may be that the sons of P's are very capable of handling injuries (as are the sons of Huai Shang), the protagonists seem to be fine every time they are seriously injured, and they can be resurrected with full blood after a few days of rest. For this, I just read the novel. Very dismayed. Asu is a beautiful woman with war damage. What does war damage mean, that is, she is already wounded and dying, but what about the performance? There are seven nails on the body, and the pain is excruciating every night in the middle of the night, but it's like a normal person? After being shattered by Ye Baiyi, the shoulders will be fine after the bandages are put on? After being taken back to the former boss and locked up, the bones of the pipa were penetrated, but the hands were not broken? So divine? I can only explain it with "protagonist halo". But at least there is one place that I think I can express more, that is, Asu gradually loses his five senses. I have been waiting for Wen Kexing's reaction to know about this, but maybe, Old Wen knew that Asu was dying. Bian has already performed a long paragraph (the original book also wrote a long paragraph), so the relevant bridges of the loss of the five senses have been omitted, and I can't feel it from the beginning to the end. As for the episodes of the roller coaster, Asu desperately pulled out his nails, but Lao Wen didn't respond. The director may think that in the end, Lao Wen had to exchange his life for his life. That's enough, so there's no need to express unnecessary emotions. , well, that makes sense.

In the last few episodes, the situation where Lao Wen's head and body are out of proportion under the camera has appeared several times. It's too dramatic. Who is it? Why do you use a camera that zooms in close-up? Everyone's head has become extremely huge and ugly! ! When Ah Xiang died, when "I'll catch the light on your body", Lao Wen's head was too dramatic, and the original sad atmosphere was destroyed! Moreover, the cameras in the next few episodes turned out to be the same camera. I have seen several times that the head has become so big and the body is out of proportion. However, after the joy and death of the two, Ah Xiang was very serious and sad. This way of photography is how the audience should enter play!

Then there are smaller ones. Long flowing hair and big sleeves are beautiful, but fighting is very laborious. I really blow up their wigs, they have a beautifying effect when they are placed on any male head; from the story, I was thinking that if I were an opponent and wanted to sneak attack, I would definitely choose to pull my hair (if it was Lan Er, I would even try wipe the forehead together). Not to mention wearing a literati's wide-sleeved robe, how much resistance is added, it is impossible for a warrior to wear it like this, how many times the force of a bunt is required to wave this hand? Not scientific at all. Like Chen Qingling, these two characteristics gave me the illusion that I was watching a puppet show.

Then I still want to talk about it, did this show plan to sway other big fires and delay the popularity of the show at the beginning? I think there is. This is too obvious. The "xx order", the publicity photos of the drama and the Chen Qingling are similar, and the theme song "Tian Wen" may also be the popularity of Haoyixing. After all, everyone said that no one would have thought that such a seemingly fuzzy drama would become so popular, and I believe the production company or platform should not have expected it either. The imagination of the behind-the-scenes team at the beginning may be similar to the situation of "Hate King Is Not Like Jiang Louyue", and the word of mouth may be OK, but at most it is like that. If it was predicted like this behind the scenes, I think it would not be difficult to understand that the publicity would want to gain popularity---red and black are also red, at least it can bring a little traffic. In addition, starting from changing the title of the play, no, maybe I planned to do it as soon as the filming was over: after it became popular, I released a lot of on-set footage, outings, concerts, etc., which one of the petition orders has not been done. It's just that I think it's quite paradoxical. The shortage of filming funds and the plan to attract audiences are very contradictory. If there is a plan to attract money, it means that you attach great importance to this drama. Funding should not be a problem. Or anyway, Chen Qingling has been copied and copied, and there is no need for special design, so it was only after it became popular that the gold absorption plan was hurriedly put on the agenda.

Also, Youku is too thief too thief. After the filming, you can see that it will not pass the trial, or it will be deleted during the trial. . There is also the matter of selling clothes for charity. These coquettish manipulations really make people roll their eyes----I finally found some hype techniques that are different from Chen Qingling's hype techniques. These two methods Chen Qingling have never played before, they are original ways to attract money.

The original sin of the play: I ran out of money after filming

As I said at the beginning, no one was optimistic about the play at the beginning, so it is said that the production cost was 30 million yuan. I don't know about other dramas, but the money is not spent on the remuneration of big-name actors. I remember that the budget is 200 million or 300 million, and Chen Qingling is only 14 episodes more than this drama. I saw a lot of people saying that the crew was poor, but I couldn't tell because the quality of the costumes and makeup was very good. As for the props, it seems that the location CG was also done well, and it felt okay. Because I didn't catch up to the end of the chapter at the same time, I kept hearing scoldings in the days when it was about to end. I really read it and realized that it was not unreasonable to be scolded.

The later scenes are very shabby, the CG quality is not good, and the acting is visibly reduced to the naked eye. Also, the only supporting characters who lead the bento are Ah Xiang, which is too important to affect the main storyline, so they take it well, and everyone else is sloppy; ) is simply a tool that people throw away when they are used up---- suddenly thought that the beautiful Poison Bodhisattva disappeared silently, and I don't know what happened to her. All in all, the later plot (after the 32-episode hero meeting) suddenly swooped down like a roller coaster, as if he was eager to finish it, and even Lao Wen didn't show his emotions after he woke up and learned that Asu's life was soon to come. I was dumbfounded.

I thought to myself what was going on, I checked and it was said that the funds could not be drawn, and the 45 episodes recorded were cut into 36 episodes, so Shanheling unfortunately turned into a "procrastination in the first half and sloppy in the second". The procrastination and hasty mentioned here are actually relative concepts, that is to say, if the later rhythm can be maintained until the end of the whole play, the earlier part will not be called procrastination; would be called sloppy.

A situation like theirs is, strictly speaking, a kind of unfinished business. It can be seen that the plot is complete, but since the director was in a hurry to finish the filming and deleted a lot, it is the same as "the first half is well written and the second half the author wants to abandon the text, resulting in only the outline at the end", and this type is in my opinion. The text is classified as unfinished text.

I really feel sorry for the fact that Lao Wen has no inner drama at all after his suspended animation. After all, I am a standard master, and when Xiaoshou is wronged, I will definitely be more angry than Gongjun.

However, the structure of this story includes (1) Asu's mental journey; (2) Old Wen's mental journey and the changes in the two's feelings; (3) The main plot, and among the three, they weigh each other with limited resources and must be deleted. , (1) must be kept, so I can only choose (2) (3) to delete; if I were the director, I should also choose (3) to delete (2), so Lao Wen pitys Asu's passage I think it is understandable to cut it off. After all, telling a story completely is the basic equipment of the show, and their love can only be fully reflected after the story is told. This is really a last resort. The helplessness of the crew is not incomprehensible. , can only say that it is really a pity.

Conclusion: It looks good, but it is too exaggerated to say that the gods are conferred

Everyone is saying that this is a new martial arts that fits the aesthetic style of the post-90s, but for an old man like me, this hat is too big. Although I don't agree with the upgrade of the harem-style martial arts, I can't agree with this kind of story that "although the main drama is packaged in a high-sounding manner, it is actually for the service of the two protagonists falling in love". Although this show brought everyone to see the smoky rivers and lakes, there are too many people in the rivers and lakes in the front, which makes it a bit difficult to understand. When the roller coaster starts to dive in the back, all the endings of all the characteristic supporting characters are deleted due to practical factors. Therefore, the main storyline of this film is still only serving the two protagonists to fall in love, and the layout is a little smaller. For me, this is an ancient puppet whose protagonists are all male, and the whole spirit of the play lies in the plot of "showing the audience the love of the two protagonists with the highest appearance, and the main plot is only for their love", I would classify it as an idol drama, regardless of whether the protagonist is a man and a woman or both men and women. I personally think that the real new martial arts is "You Bandit" (referring to the original work, the drama is indeed still an idol drama). The main line is about the heroine Zhou Fei's way of fighting monsters and upgrading. Anyway, the main line is not a story about feelings. I just thought it was called martial arts.

Although there are so many complaints before, this plot is complete and logical and has a central idea. The characters are three-dimensional and full, the actors' acting skills are good, and the love line is also satisfying, so I can still give it 8 points. In fact, superficial, I am very satisfied just seeing Asumi. XDD

PS. When I look at my wife, I always feel like I see Li Shuo transforming from "The Sissy" to "Who Takes Who Is Really", that is, the handsome man and the money are like the tyrant. He looks like a male protagonist, but it is actually the second time; he changed his image Immediately after that, he became a male protagonist.

PPS. I feel familiar with the concept of arsenal treasure. I use the point of view of "bubble" to explain the type of treasure. It seems that I have seen it in other novels?

PPPS. Is the magic way finally going down the altar in my heart!
