Zhang Ziyi’s first costume drama is coming! Zhou Yiwei stars Yang Youning, but depending on the subject matter, it may not be popular

Can movie stars make a splash in the TV industry? When the big screen is replaced by the small screen, powerful actors will face a new challenge.

This time, "Shangyang Fu" starring Zhang Ziyi will be tested by the audience in the fourth quarter. To be honest, when actresses in the film industry such as Tang Wei, Ni Ni, Zhou Xun, etc. begin to turn to the television industry, The audience's expectations are always higher than their confusion.

Unlike other movie stars, Zhang Ziyi has never acted in a TV series. As soon as she debuted, she collaborated with the top directors in the country, and then participated in movies directed by Ang Lee and Wong Kar-wai. Over the years, Zhang Ziyi’s There are not many works, but the overall quality is high.

According to a certain movie fan, it is: Zhang Ziyi was born to belong to the big screen.

So, will she, who is comfortable on the big screen, definitely break into a new world in the television industry?

Judging from previous experience, the success rate is not high, and "Shangyang Fu", as Zhang Ziyi's debut costume drama, has been backlogged for two years, and the initial discussion enthusiasm has gradually declined. The audience's attitude also changed from surprised to unfavorable.

As for why you say this?

Let’s start with the theme of the play "Shangyang Fu".

"Shangyang Fu" is adapted from "The Emperor's Industry" by Miyu Zhe. The drama version was first named "The Emperor's Industry", but later because the "palace fighting" color involved in the name was too obvious, Therefore, the name was changed to "Old Friends in Jiangshan". In May this year, the play was renamed "Shangyang Fu".

In fact, there are not many fight scenes in the harem in the original work of "Shangyang Fu". The author focuses on the court. The heroine Wang Yan is the princess of Shangyang Princess. She married the hero Xiao Qi when she was 15 years old. , the two work together to create a prosperous world.

Looking at it this way, the biggest highlight of "Emperor's Industry" should be - strong women and strong men. However, in the past few years, none of the film and television versions of this type of novel have received good reviews, even "Tian Sheng Chang Ge" Although it has been praised by many drama fans, it cannot be ignored that the rhythm of this drama has a big problem.

It is undeniable that Cheng Yuanhai has profound photography skills. The long shots or the scenes of snow falling in the palace in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are extremely exquisite and have a classical charm.

Starting from the storyline, "Shangyang Fu" has a strong sense of drama. Although the background is fictional, the original novel is extremely realistic. Whether it is the game between people's hearts or the killing of brothers, "The Emperor's Industry" is worthy of it. High praise from book fans.

If Mei Changsu in "Nirvana in Fire" is Jack Su with a golden finger, then Wang Zhang in "Shangyang Fu" is a strange woman who combines beauty and wisdom. Xiao Qi, who helped her husband open up new territories, let princes and princes do all the work for him, and finally became the emperor, promised to only marry one wife throughout his life.

In the style of a drama, discussing idol romance can be reconciled in novels, but not in TV series. Once it is not filmed well, it will only reduce the pattern of "The Emperor's Industry".

In addition, the setting about the heroine Wang Zhang "taking over the world" is too cliche. This meme was relatively popular a few years ago, but by 2020, the audience may have grown tired of it. .

As a major female lead in a drama, Zhang Ziyi is important, but the two male leads who co-star with her are also key.

Before the filming of "Shangyang Fu" officially started, it was rumored that Zhang Zhen would play the male lead Xiao Qi, but in fact, he chose the fairy tale drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Chen Xiyuan".

In the end, the male protagonist fell in love with Yiwei Yi.

Regarding his acting skills, the audience has mixed reviews. Some people think that his acting is charming, while others think that he uses too much force.

Putting all this aside, in fact, the image of Zhou Yiwei is very inconsistent with the original work. He himself is a modern handsome guy with an average appearance in ancient costume, while Xiao Qi in the book looks like this:

"The Eguan with wide sleeves, coming with hands behind its back, has its own demeanor, is pure and handsome, and has the appearance of a king."

When the heroine Wang Zhang first met him, she also said: "Such a good appearance." It can be seen from this that Xiao Qi is an ancient nobleman with good temperament and dignified appearance.

Is Zhou Yiwei up to the task? If you just look at the Reuters photo, book fans may take a breath of cold air.

The other male protagonist, Zi Dan, is Wang Zhang’s first love. He is like Bai Yueguang, but the dramatist chose Yang Youning.

From the appearance point of view, he is not delicate in appearance. He has the temperament of a tough guy, but not the demeanor of a handsome young man. After all, Zi Dan in the original work is the most handsome man in the capital. He is proficient in poetry and poetry, and has a unique personality. Gentle and gentle, he is a rare elegant poet.

Because he is so stunning, Zidan has also become the cinnabar mole in the hearts of many book fans, and Yang Youning is indeed not suitable.

Looking at the front-line niche in the TV industry, the only ones who can rival Zhang Ziyi and are suitable for this role are Hu Ge and Zhong Hanliang. The former has challenged the weak Meng Jiu, and the latter has played the extraordinary talent Na Lan Rongruo.

Yang Youning’s acting skills are also hard to say. When he acted opposite Yao Chen, he was compared to others. When he meets the more powerful Zhang Ziyi, the acting problems may be magnified.

The only good thing is that Zhang Ziyi is very suitable for Wang Zhang. From appearance to personality, this role has similarities with the characters she has played in the past, namely: stubborn, forbearing, and unwilling to admit defeat.

This is perhaps the most attractive aspect of "Shangyang Fu".

"Shangyang Fu" was launched in October 2017, and was not officially completed until November of the following year. It was expected to be broadcast in the summer of 2019, but unexpectedly it was delayed again and again, and it was backlogged for more than 2 years. Just got the broadcast license.

Two years ago, dramas with female protagonists were popular, but now Dangai dramas have taken over the market, and the market competitiveness of "Shangyang Fu" has weakened.

At the same time as the market changes, the "restriction of ancient times" and "restriction of collections" are coming again. "Shangyang Fu", which was originally planned to be broadcast on stars, had to choose to be broadcast online, and the entire drama length It has 76 episodes and will definitely be deleted by then. Compared with last year's "Crane Huating", we can see that "Shangyang Fu" will inevitably be unable to escape the "scissor hand".

In addition, Youku’s promotion is not very effective, and the summer hit “Liu Li” is the best proof.

Therefore, even if Zhang Ziyi's national popularity is very high, "Shangyang Fu" will inevitably achieve good results.
