After a long wait, the TV series "Lychee of Chang'an" has finally been completed.
This TV series is adapted from Ma Boyong's short story of the same name, which tells the story of Li Deshan, a young official in Chang'an City, who received a task: to transport fresh lychees from Lingnan before the birth of the concubine.
As we all know, lychees should be fresh to be delicious, in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there was no cold chain transportation, and the freshness of lychees was kept fresh for up to three days: "one day color change, two days of fragrance change, three days of taste change".
Lingnan and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, how can fresh lychees be transported in three days? So there is a famous sentence of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu: "When the concubine laughs on the red dust, no one knows that it is a lychee."
Although this book is written according to the setting of this story, in terms of content, Ma Boyong puts more ink spots on realism, and the truth is somewhat "black humor".
After reading it, a reader in the system commented: "Reading this book again in the system is so real that it makes people tremble." ”
This book is also called one of Ma Boyong's representative works by readers, although it is written about the ancients, but it can often let us see ourselves.
Because of its authenticity, many viewers expect this work to be adapted into a TV series or movie. And today, this adapted TV series has finally been completed.
In today's finale video, the platform released a clip of the "Nail Dipping Ceremony".
What is a nail dipping ceremony?
The Dipping Ceremony was more popular in the Tang Dynasty and was a drinking custom that was mainly used to show respect. When drinking, stick your finger into the glass and dip it lightly, then pop the drops to pay your respects.
In my opinion, this is probably similar to today's "I did it, you do it as you please".
Along with the release of this dipped nail ceremony video, it is the appearance of the main creative team of the crew in this TV series, let's take a look.
In this TV series, Lei Jiayin's partner Yue Yunpeng starred, the two have collaborated on Zhang Yimou's movie "Man Jianghong", in this TV series, the two are two partners.
In the finale video, Lei Jiayin is wearing a classic "round-necked robe" from the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, the official uniforms from the first to the third rank were purple robes, the third to fifth grades were scarlet robes, the sixth to seventh grades were green robes, and the eighth to ninth grades were green robes.
Lei Jiayin plays the role of the leading actor, and the last time he cooperated with Ma Boyong was in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", in that TV series, Lei Jiayin's Tang Dynasty costumes were very brilliant, and the tension of exploring the truth was full.
Although we ridiculed Lei Jiayin as the first person in the "Nest Fei Track", Lei Jiayin's acting skills are more than that, Bingkun in "The World" makes people cry when they watch.
And Lei Jiayin has starred in so many film and television dramas since his debut, and it is almost rare that he is complained that his acting skills can't keep up, so in this TV series, Lei Jiayin plays a small civil servant, wandering between officialdom and human sophistication, which must be full of highlights.
Among the starring actors, Nar Naqian may not be too familiar to everyone, she plays Deng Chanyu, the first female warrior of Yin Shang, in "Fengshen".
In this TV series, Narnasi wears a set of green Tang Dynasty costumes and a hoodie of the same color, both in terms of color and accessories, she is quite exquisite, extremely beautiful, and very friendly to the audience's eyes.
In this TV series, she plays the shrewd and capable president of the Hu Chamber of Commerce, Amita.
and An Yu, who once starred in "It's All Good", played the role of Yunqing in this TV series, Yunqing is the owner of the exquisite and thousand-faced Konglang Fang, her workshop should be a wine shop, or it can be the land of wind and moon, which gave Li Deshan played by Lei Jiayin a lot of relief.
Judging from the video sent by the Dipping Nail Ceremony, An Yu is wearing a set of red and blue Tang Dynasty costumes, and her hair is also based on the shape of the lady's picture, which is quite elegant.
There is also Gong Lei, who plays the role of Zhao Xinmin in this TV series, Zhao Xinmin is scheming, calculating, and rudderless. As the secretary of He Youguang's mansion, Zhao Xinmin is actually the secretary.
In fact, this role is more difficult to grasp, because Gong Lei once played Zhao Senjun in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", so in this TV series, he and Lei Jiayin are two pairs, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.
What is surprising is that Feng Jiayi is also revealed in this TV series, in this TV series, Feng Jiayi plays He Youguang.
He Youguang is a Lingnan assassin, this person is not a good person, he is a villain, but Feng Jiayi's appearance and eyes in this TV series already feel like a city.
Feng Jiayi just won the love of netizens with Su Jianren in the TV series "City in the City" some time ago, and now she is starring in this TV series again, which is also full of highlights.
and Lu Fangsheng, who plays Yu Chengen in this TV series.
Yu Chengen is the deputy envoy of the palace city in the play, and he seems to be handsome and sunny, but in fact, he is also quite deep in the city. Lu Fangsheng's appearance in the play is closer to the feeling of drama, with a large blush on his face, which seems exaggerated, but is actually close to history.
Guo Tao plays the role of Liu Zhiling in this TV series, wearing a green robe.
has presented classic TV series such as "Parents' Love" and "Glory of Fathers", and now it is also a highlight to star as a guest.
Dou Xiao played Lu Huan in this TV series, and wearing a scarlet robe in the wine dipping ceremony also showed his identity.
Finally, let's take a look at Zhang Tianai.
Zhang Tianai played the role of Seventeen Niang in this TV series, and when she saw Zhang Tianai's makeup, she couldn't help but be amazed, but she didn't expect Zhang Tianai to be so suitable for Tang Dynasty clothing.
Zhang Tianai wears peonies on her head and is decorated with various accessories, but it does not suppress her appearance at all, but paves the way for her brilliant appearance.
This gorgeous Tang makeup is almost unrecognizable as Zhang Tianai. The face and makeup perfectly restore the charm of the beauty of the Tang Dynasty, and the adaptability is very high, as if she is the proprietress of the Tang Dynasty who walked out of the mural.
As soon as you look up and blink of an eye, who can not fall?
In fact, in addition to the very well-done service of Huadao, the most important thing is that this TV series also reveals to us the reasons why the Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline: public weapons are used for private purposes, officials are deceitful among themselves, justice is not served, fairness is not displayed, the fate of the people at the bottom is like a drop in red dust, and human nature is vividly displayed.
Now that it is finished, it must not be far from the release date, and the sense of expectation is full.
