Costume dramas have become the norm, and the audience has long lost patience with this once golden theme. But just when everyone thought that costume dramas were going to be cool, "To the Mountains and Seas" starring Cheng Yi sprung up, triggering a wave of drama chasing.
What is the magic of this 40-episode martial arts drama adapted from Wen Rui'an's novel that can make audiences regain their enthusiasm for costume dramas? Is it Cheng Yi's acting skills that conquered the audience?
Or is the script catchy enough on its own? Let's take a look at the ins and outs of this drama and see if it can become a dark horse in the costume drama market this year.
The little people counterattacked, and the blood exploded on the screen
Brothers and sisters, the plot of the drama "To the Mountains and Seas" can be said to be quite attractive!
The protagonist Xiao Qiushui has counterattacked all the way from an ordinary person to a martial arts master, this setting is simply not too cool. Think about it, we ordinary people work from 9 to 5 every day, who doesn't have a martial arts dream? Xiao Qiushui is helping us realize our dreams!
From a lowly young swordsman to a hero who protects his family and country, this path of growth is definitely exciting.
What's even better is that the show also incorporates real history. Xiao Qiushui not only has to roam in the rivers and lakes, but also fights against gold with Yue Fei, which is really both civil and military. The combination of historical drama + martial arts drama, the plot is definitely exciting.
When it comes to martial arts dramas, what we are most afraid of is the soft fighting scenes. But judging from the trailer, the action scenes of "To the Mountains and Seas" are quite powerful. The leading actors seem to have worked hard to practice, and their movements are powerful, not the type where a few swings of the hand are done.
This kind of story of the little person's counterattack, coupled with the explosive action scenes, is simply the favorite of young audiences! I bet that after the broadcast of "To the Mountains and Seas", there will definitely be a wave of martial arts practice. Maybe it can also drive a wave of tourism fever, and everyone wants to go to the place where the play was filmed to check in!
But then again, it's not enough to have a good story. The performance of the actors is also crucial. So what is the cast of "To the Mountains and Seas"?
Cheng Yi took the lead, and Guli Nazha made a stunning appearance
When it comes to the cast of "To the Mountains and Seas", I have to talk about the actor Cheng Yi.
This guy can be said to be a professional in costume dramas. From "Liuli" to "Lotus Tower", Cheng Yi's performance in costume dramas is remarkable. Especially in "Lotus Tower", he plays two roles by himself, and his acting skills can be said to be explosive.
Cheng Yi's role as Xiao Qiushui in "To the Mountains and Seas" this time is another breakthrough.
In "Lotus Tower" before, Cheng Yi gave the impression of being a sick and weak scholar. This time, he has to play a martial arts hero, and his image can be said to be a big change. Being able to take on this kind of challenge is enough to show that Cheng Yi is very confident in his acting skills!
However, Cheng Yi may have to be careful. Because the heroine of this drama is played by Guli Nazha.
Speaking of Guli Nazha, she is a recognized beauty! Exotic, outrageous, especially the costume modeling, is simply too beautiful. Although this is a big male lead drama, I estimate that as soon as Guli Nazha appears, the audience's attention may be attracted by her.
In addition to Guli Nazha, the supporting actress cast is also very strong. Chen Yuqi, Liu Mengrui, and Ding Xiaoying, all of them are good-looking and powerful. In comparison, the supporting actor seems a little unfamiliar.
But this is also very good, anyway, with Cheng Yi here, other actors don't need to be too brilliant. It made me look forward to the role of women even more. Maybe there will be a supporting actress whose acting skills will explode and become an instant hit!
The behind-the-scenes team is powerful and the quality is guaranteed
A good drama, in addition to the actors, the behind-the-scenes team is also very important. "To the Mountains and Seas" can be said to be very powerful in this regard.
Director Ren Haitao is a good hand at making costume dramas. "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Chenxi Yuan" are all his works. These dramas not only have high ratings, but also have a good reputation. With him at the helm, the quality of "To the Mountains and Seas" is at least basically guaranteed.
Screenwriter Liu Fang is not a newcomer either. She has worked with Cheng Yi several times, and "Lotus Tower" and "Glass" were all written by her. This time we will work together again, and there will definitely be a good spark.
With a reliable director and screenwriter, coupled with Cheng Yi, the leading actor with "own traffic", the popularity of "To the Mountains and Seas" should not be a problem.
But then again, high heat doesn't mean good quality. In recent years, there have been many dramas with high popularity but poor reputation. Whether "To the Mountains and Seas" can attract attention and win praise depends on the quality of the final film.
But in any case, it is a sure thing for Cheng Yi to use this drama to go to the next level. Even if the drama is not good, with his popularity, he can rely on his appearance. If the show is not bad, then it is really going to take off!
Netizens are hotly discussed: Expectations are full VS rational wait-and-see
As soon as the news of this drama came out, it immediately sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. The reactions of netizens can be described as mixed, and they are wonderful.
"Finally waited for Cheng Yi's new drama! "Lotus Tower" made me die and live, and I definitely want to chase "To the Mountains and Seas" this time!"
There are many fans of Cheng Yi who are looking forward to it. They believe that Cheng Yi's performance in costume dramas has always been very good, and there will definitely be a new breakthrough in this martial arts drama.
"Gulinaza plays the heroine? Then I have to take a good look, her appearance is definitely a plus in costume dramas. "
Guli Nazha's appearance also attracted many audiences. Many people said that they wanted to chase this drama because of her appearance.
But there are also concerns about the adaptation of the script:
"Wen Rui'an's novel adaptation, I hope it won't be changed beyond recognition. The adaptation of "Dragon Babu" last time was very disappointing. "
Indeed, adapting a classic is always fraught with risk. Whether he can respect the original work and have new ideas is a big test for the screenwriter.
There are also people who look forward to the martial arts scenes:
"The action scenes in the trailer look pretty good, and I hope the feature film doesn't disappoint. The recent costume drama action scenes are too fake. "
This concern is well founded. A good martial arts scene can make a martial arts drama the icing on the cake, and a bad one will make people play. Whether "To the Mountains and Seas" can make a breakthrough in this regard is worth looking forward to.
Of course, there are also people who maintain a rational wait-and-see attitude:
"Don't just look at the lineup and trailer, let's wait for the feature film to come out. Today's dramas are too good at making previews, and they often don't live up to their names after they are actually broadcast. "
Such a cautious attitude is also necessary. After all, a good start does not equal a good result, it still depends on the quality of the final film.
From the discussion of netizens, it can be seen that the expectations of "To the Mountains and Seas" are still very high. But at the same time, the audience's eyes are becoming more and more critical, and the requirements for the series are getting higher and higher. This is both pressure and motivation for the producer.
Conclusion: Good dramas can be expected, waiting to be broadcast
Overall, "To the Mountains and Seas" is indeed a costume drama worth looking forward to. Whether it is the subject matter, the cast or the behind-the-scenes team, it all shows the sincerity of this show.
Cheng Yi, as the starring role, is expected to show his strength in costume dramas again in this drama. And the joining of Guli Nazha has added a lot of highlights to this drama.
Of course, good ingredients don't necessarily make good dishes. Whether "To the Mountains and Seas" can really become an excellent work depends on the final presentation effect. We expect this drama to have its own innovations and breakthroughs on the basis of retaining the essence of the original work.
In this era of "fast food" drama watching, we need more well-made and rich dramas to nourish the soul. I hope that "To the Mountains and Seas" can become such a work and live up to the audience's expectations.
Finally, I would like to ask you: what do you think is the most attractive thing about "To the Mountains and Seas"? Is it Cheng Yi's acting skills? Guli Nazha's appearance? Or is it the charm of Wen Ruian's original book? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
