After waiting for two years, the second season of "Tales of the Tang Dynasty" finally returned successfully, successfully saving this calm and boring summer file.
The return of all the members of "Tang Wei 2" is still a familiar continuation of the basic creative route of connecting the rivers and lakes with temples, a familiar five-person team, and a familiar eight strange cases.
Looking back at the beginning of the first season, there was little interest, to the fermentation of word-of-mouth popularity, and then to the new high of the finale.
The first season of "Tang Dynasty Legends" relied on hard power to break out of many marketing hot dramas.
With the solid foundation of the first season, the production investment of the second season has been increased, the quality has been upgraded in all aspects, there are more mature and sophisticated visual effects, and a more simple and mysterious suspense plot.
In the first week of broadcasting, the popularity of iQiyi station has reached 9637, and the Douban score is 8.1, which is higher than the 7.0 score of the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years".
Even the editor of CCTV also chased "Tang Wei 2" online, it is estimated that iQiyi did not expect that the second season of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" has become iQiyi's summer hole card to compete with other platforms.
The plot is compact, and the case is interlocking
"Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey" follows the main characters of the first season, telling the story of Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming teaming up again to solve strange cases one after another, and unfolds with 8 tricky cases wrapped in adventures in the rivers and lakes, deceit, and crooked ways.
The starring role is composed of eight unit stories: "Demon Transformation", "The Death of the Job", "Fengxue Mojia Shop", "Thousand Crossings", "Tongtian Rhino", "Yunding Drunk", "Letter from Shangxian Fang" and "Donor".
Screenwriter Wei Fenghua said, "The essence of "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey" is a western legend, a suspenseful version of Journey to the West. ”
chased 18 episodes, the plot is rigorous, and the details are worth scrutinizing, whether it is the protagonist group or the supporting role, each character is distinct, flesh and blood.
The most impressive thing is the "Death of a Job" unit, both the plot and the core can exist godly.
Although the world despises and excludes the family, Duguyang also remembers that "justice in the world must be done by someone".
Chunjo also said, "Although fame is the dream of scholars all over the world, someone has to be responsible for it." Although the lonely sheep is dead, the spirit of servant life will live forever.
The details are in place, and the supporting characters are not ambiguous
After watching "Tang Wei 2", you will find that he is filmed in Dunhuang in real time, which is not comparable to the green screen, which shows that the budget for the second season is still relatively sufficient.
One of the reasons why "Tang Dynasty Legends: Westward Journey" is loved by the majority of audiences is that the service is very delicate and attentive.
Even the makeup and clothes of the group performances are very elegant, not the kind of passers-by who dress up casually, there are many Tang Dynasty elements, they are all glamorous, and some are even better than the protagonist.
The props are also restored one-to-one, such as the four-luan title ribbon gold and silver flat off the mirror of the Doubao Bureau, the mandarin duck lotus petal pattern gold bowl, and the hollow twig pattern silver sachet.
These are all Tang Dynasty cultural relics from the Shaanxi History Museum, and the props group directly reproduced them.
The demon subjugation change originated from the Mogao Grottoes' warp painting, and the details of the mural and the three witches have corresponding murals, and the big reclining Buddha is restored one-to-one.
As an important part of film and television works, Fuhuadao can not only restore the historical background, but also add color to the character building, making the audience more immersed in the plot.
The intentions and efforts of this crew are undoubtedly a kind of respect for the audience's IQ and aesthetics.
The play is exciting, and there are no exaggerated special effects
You think "Tang Wei 2" is a detective suspense drama, but in fact, it is still a martial arts drama.
Especially in the group portrait play, the action is smooth and smooth in one go, and between the decisive killing, it shows the spirit and strength.
Lu Lingfeng played by Yang Xuwen, he is responsible for the force, his vigorous posture, sharp eyes, there is no pause and editing at all after a fight, the moves are novel and accurate, which makes people's blood boil.
The appearance of the villain is also very stunning, and there is a feeling that the big demon king has fallen from the sky, and the momentum is good.
I have to say that the martial arts teacher of this drama is also awesome, and the action director Zhou Yang has been responsible for various martial arts films of Huo Yuanjia and New Shaolin Temple, and even served as a stand-in for Jason Statham.
iQiyi, which was losing in the summer, finally made a beautiful comeback with "Tang Dynasty Tricks: Westward Journey".
