Which theme is most likely to be popular in 2024?
In my opinion, it is definitely the "traffic password" of the national drama costume drama.
From "Celebrating More Than Years 2" to "Between the Ink Rain and Clouds", and then to the current hits "Yan Xinji" and "Spend the Year of China", it can be said that this year's national drama market is completely the world of costume dramas.
There are a lot of ruthless dramas in the list of films to be broadcast.
For example, Ren Jialun and Li Randi starred in "Flowing Water", from the perspective of the revenge of the big male protagonist, a love-hate relationship related to the survival of the country, the trailer alone will be full of tension, and people can't help but look forward to the arrival of the feature film.
and "Yun Xiuxing" starring Li Yitong's partner Zeng Shunxi, which tells the great love story of a famous poor lady who supports each other with the white and black kings and jointly establishes a prosperous and prosperous world.
There are countless handsome men and beautiful women in the play, which will definitely feast the audience's eyes.
However, the above two dramas have not been finalized for a long time, but another new work has taken the lead.
The 24-episode costume emotional drama "Jewel on the Side" came strongly, and it scored a high score of 8.7 at the beginning of the broadcast, which can be described as extraordinary.
At the same time, Douban's word-of-mouth is freshly released, looking at Yishui's five-star praise, I want to say: Costume dramas are ushering in another hit!
All the staff are in the eye bag, and the plot is too joyful
"Jewel on the Side" tells the story of the eccentric Shan Shan (played by Xu Lu) who wants to become a jade recommender, and an accident makes her and the second generation of jade businessman Pei Pei (played by Bi Wenjun) who is not in a serious business.
Under the mediation of Pei Pei's mother (played by Ma Rui), he started a life of a maid and a young master with Pei Pei.
Costumes, business wars, love, comedy, it can be seen that this drama has gathered all the current popular elements, but is it good? It still depends on the plot, and the two highlights make people go straight into the pit!
The first highlight: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
At the beginning of the story, he only sold jade in Huamanlou, and in the name of the late Master Pei, he cooperated with the girl in the building to sell inferior jade.
When the male protagonist Pei Pei heard the news, he wanted to debunk the pseudo-face of Shan Dan, and on the pretext of buying the rest of the other party's jade, he made it difficult for Shan Shan for a while.
However, feng shui took turns, Pei Pei just "killed" and retreated, and his mother came to the door.
Seeing Pei Pei hurriedly wanting to leave Hua Manlou, he just directly turned against the guest, grabbed the other party's sleeve and didn't let go, and coerced Pei Pei to buy his inferior jade for fifty taels.
And Pei Pei, who was "weak and can't help the wind", because of the urgency of the situation, really couldn't break free from the "Hercules", his eyes were closed, and he exchanged fifty taels for personal freedom.
As the saying goes, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, the male and female protagonists are more pretending than the other, you come and go, full of jokes, and the encounter between the two also unfolds.
The second highlight, the sister who has revenge teaches the "weak chicken" male protagonist.
While other costume dramas are busy letting the heroine fight with the second heroine, the new drama "Jewel on the Side" shows an extraordinary pattern.
The heroine's sister Shan Shuangshuang (played by Li Mengmeng) came to work in the Su family's jade shop in order to investigate the cause of her parents' death, and after learning that her sister went to work in the Su family's rival Pei's family, there was no betrayal of the "blackening".
When he saw Pei Pei embarrassed his sister, he didn't talk much, and followed Pei Pei directly to the market, and a few small stones were bounced out, making him out of the "limelight" on the street.
Looking at Pei Pei's embarrassed kneeling figure, both sneered, breathed a long sigh of relief, and left refreshed.
Good guys, the domestic drama finally left the sister to fall in love with the same man, and finally turned against the scene.
Watching the heroine's sister take revenge on the spot, the male protagonist looked confused, which was really funny.
It can be said that the drama "Pearl and Jade on the Side" is earthy and sweet, although the plot is a bit nonsensical, but the play still carefully lays out various suspense waiting for the audience to explore.
And the hero and heroine are happy enemies, although they don't know each other, but the emotional line is natural and not deliberate, and the laughter and amusement are mixed with wisps of sour and astringent abuse, which definitely makes people can't stop chasing after them.
Powerful actors are all in battle, and the group portraits of the characters are too vivid
In fact, the overall lineup of "Jewel on the Side" is not very strong, and the popularity of the actors is not high, but the strength can definitely withstand the drama.
The first place, Xu Lu.
Xu Lu is an underrated young flower, and her acting skills are reflected in dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Wind", but unfortunately it has never become popular.
Fortunately, this time her chance came!
In the new play, Xu Lu plays the role of a fairy with a funny temperament just by appearing, looking at her sister who carefully advises her, she smiled and bent her eyebrows, her eyes were full of joy and emotion, and she looked delicate and moving.
And when arguing with Pei Pei, he was at ease with his expression, with a smile on his face all the time, and his expression was sincere and he said words that were angry and not worth his life, and his acting skills were natural and delicate, too vivid.
second place, Bi Wenjun.
Bi Wenjun, a traffic niche, has a commendable performance in dramas such as "Nine Heavens and a Cold Night" and "Under the Stranger".
In the new drama, Pei Pei played by him has a funny aura.
When he grabbed the auction item he just wanted at the auction, Pei Pei looked at each other with a villainous smile, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
And when he learned that he had misunderstood, Pei Pei stood at the door of the other party's room, listening to the coughing sound coming from inside, and with imperceptible distress and guilt on his face, Bi Wenjun's acting skills are not bad.
third place, Li Mengmeng.
Li Mengmeng's singles and doubles in the play are absolutely amazing.
In the play, both dare to love and hate, revenge is avenged on the spot, and the eyes are full of love in the face of his sister.
When he learned that the Pei family was going to attend the Jade Fighting Competition, he looked at his happy sister with a puzzled face, and even more worry in his eyes, and he took the demeanor of an elegant eldest sister just right.
It seems that after this drama, Li Mengmeng can also get out of the circle with his strength.
Fourth, Ma Rui.
Ma Rui, a powerful actress from a professional class, has quite wonderful performances in dramas such as "Deep Love and Rain", "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and so on.
In the new play, she plays Mrs. Pei, who is definitely a rare "good mother-in-law" in national dramas.
In the face of clever and eloquent words, Mrs. Pei's face was full of appreciation, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, portraying the image of a kind old lady who is easy to talk to, which is too dramatic.
Fifth place, generation super.
Dai Chao, who was born in a professional class, has shown good acting skills in dramas such as "Fifteen Years of Waiting for Migratory Birds" and "Little Farewell".
In the new play, Su Yu played by him is currently the biggest villain in the play.
When he first appeared, Su Yu sneered at Pei Pei, the disdain in his eyes was overflowing, but he still had the demeanor of a son of a family, and he made people grit their teeth.
At present, Dai Chao has grasped the character traits of the character just right, although there are not many shots, but the people are stable and the strength is good.
In addition, actors such as Geng Yizheng, Li Changru, and Xu Siyu all have quite eye-catching performances in the play, and jointly create a vivid and lively group portrait of the characters in the play, which is really exciting.
epilogue
This year's summer costume dramas are highly competitive, but in my opinion, it is "thunder and rain".
Although there are popular dramas such as "Yan Xinji" and "Du Hua Nian", they are far from reaching the level of breaking out of the circle.
And "Jewel on the Side" is not a perfect work, such as the logic is almost meaningful, the cast is average, etc.
But in this drama, I still see hope that I can break the costume drama.
First, the nonsensical style breaks the traditional costume routine.
There are too many classic ancient puppet dramas, so innovation is the key to breaking the situation of national dramas. And this new work gives full play to the essence of nonsensical style, and the whole process is hilarious and rich in highlights.
Second, the jade business war, the group portrait is distinct.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, this drama has created a large number of characters with different and distinct personalities, and in a happy and amusing atmosphere, the audience will experience the wonderful business war, right!
At present, the show is being updated, with a moderate amount of 24 collectives, no urine spots throughout the whole process, and strong observability, which is definitely worth watching.
