For a long time, costume dramas have been loved by the majority of audiences, and they are the sweethearts of friends.
In the near future, Ren Jialun and Xing Fei's "Flame", Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin's "Walking with the Phoenix";
Yang Mi and Gong Jun's "Fox Demon Little Red Lady Moon Red Chapter", Wu Jinyan and Wang Xingyue's "Ink Rain and Clouds" have all achieved relatively good results.
This is not over, Luo Yunxi and Song Yi's "Yan Xinji" has just been airborne, and another ancient puppet drama will follow closely behind, which will be broadcast on June 26, that is, "Spending the Year of China" starring Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe.
Although the male and female protagonists have a lot of fans, fans are looking forward to this drama, and the publicity of the drama party and the platform is very huge.
But from an objective point of view, no matter which aspect you look at, "Du Hua Nian" is full of thunder points, and the situation of hitting the street is very obvious.
Most ancient puppet dramas actually do not have high requirements for the acting skills of actors, but they are almost harsh on image and temperament.
In other words, in ancient puppet dramas, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists do not necessarily have to be profound and exquisite, but the appearance must be high, and the ancient costumes must be convincing.
In "Du Hua Nian", whether it is Zhao Jinmai or Zhang Linghe, their looks are too modern and lack classical charm.
As a result, their costumes are unremarkable and unattractive at first glance. "Hua Nian" is not wronged on the street, the male protagonist directly "cheats", and the female protagonist looks like a "little friend".
Zhang Linghe's ancient costume has always been very crotch-pulling.
In the previous "Ning An Like a Dream", the character of the male protagonist Xie Wei can be called the ceiling level of an ancient puppet, but Zhang Linghe's overall shaping is very bland, and he does not deduce the charm of the characters in the original work at all.
The same problem is now being played out again in "The Year of China". Zhang Linghe's appearance, if you just look at the stills, it's okay, but it's really quite a disaster in the play.
Especially when making expressions and saying lines, it looks more wooden.
Zhao Jinmai has grown up now, and he has neither the aura of a child nor the hormones of a mature woman.
Watching her act in costume drama is like a child wearing adult clothes, with an indescribable funny and awkwardness.
Although Zhao Jinmai is already working hard to perform, she just can't play the maturity that matches the age of the character, she looks like a child, and makes people play every minute.
In general costume dramas, some powerful or old drama bones will basically be invited to make cameos or play important supporting roles in the play, so as to ensure the overall quality of the series.
"Du Hua Nian" does the opposite, the male and female protagonists are not top traffic, and the rest of the supporting cast is full of unfamiliar new faces at a glance, and they are not well-known in the entertainment industry.
And their makeup looks very perfunctory, and there is nothing eye-catching.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Yijun, the director of "Spending the Year of China", has had some bad luck in recent years.
Clicking on his encyclopedia, it was really sad for those who heard it and cried when they saw it.
In 2016, he directed the idol drama "Jade Lovers" starring Lee Jong Suk and Zheng Shuang.
As a result, it first hit the upper limit of the Korean order and failed to broadcast it for a long time. Later, Zheng Shuang collapsed the house again, and this drama was completely chilling.
In 2016, he also directed the ancient legendary drama "Cranberry Rose" starring Qiao Zhenyu and Yao Di, which was buried due to Yao Di's scandals.
In 2017, he directed and filmed the costume drama "Winning the World" starring Fan Bingbing, Zhang Guoli and others, but due to the negative impact of Fan Bingbing and Gao Yunxiang, this drama was also buried.
In 2020, he directed the costume drama "Huanxi Sha" starring Tong Liya and Han Geng, which has not been broadcast until now.
In 2021, he directed the TV series "Su Ji", which has been completed for three years and has not been heard from so far.
He will direct "Du Hua Nian" in 2024, which will be completed in February and broadcast directly in June, which is a rocket-like speed. In this way, it is really not easy for this director.
The storyline of "Du Hua Nian" is average, it does not have any advantages, and the broadcast timing is not very good, which is a typical wolf and tiger.
In front, Luo Yunxi and Song Yi's "Yan Xinji" seized the opportunity, and Yang Zi, Deng Wei, Tan Jianci, and Zhang Wanyi's "Sauvignon Blanc 2" are eyeing each other.
In this unfavorable situation, it is really difficult for "Du Hua Nian" to break out of the encirclement.
