In the presentation of the story, there is no sense of cliché at all.
The plot is arranged in an orderly manner, with big and small plot points coming one after another, very compact.
Unlike many long-running TV series, there is nothing substantial to say at all for a long time.
Moreover, the plot is compact and full of useful information, and every small detail can withstand scrutiny, with almost no loopholes.
It is very difficult to dig big and small holes, but they can all be filled in the end. They have obviously been arranged in advance and surfaced one by one in a rhythmic manner.
The story contains a lot of content, and the relationship between the characters is also complicated. How to deal with the relationship between the characters and the rhythm of the appearance is a difficult problem.
The relationship between the characters in "Nirvana in Fire" is handled very cleverly, trapping the seemingly huge Jinling City in a relatively small "family" that is inextricably linked to each other.
This creates innate conditions for the audience to understand the characters and build a plot on the relationship between the characters.
Then there is the restraint in production.
The biggest feeling given by current domestic dramas is that they are exaggerated, whether it is in the performance of the actors, the setting of the plot and text, or the use of special effects and other technologies.
Domestic TV dramas have long been good at using "spittoon marketing" to attract marketing. In this environment, the production restraint of this drama is extremely valuable.
When it comes to the selection of actors, the ones with the best abilities are used. There are almost no young stars with poor acting skills and good looks. Many people even think that the director and production staff have done it themselves.
In terms of the use of technology, the dynamic CG images have also reached the quality of a movie. Just the opening static shot of the entire Jinling City brought a sense of reality and shocking intuition to the audience.
Another thing I have to say is that the highest level of fictional historical dramas is that they are fictional and can learn from the past and present. The costumes, props, and dialogues in the first episode are all well-documented, and the camera is restrained and does not cater to kitsch.
Moreover, the characters and related plot settings in the play showed a dazzling sense of high-end from the beginning.
Moreover, the step-by-step high-intelligence plot design has begun to become prominent in this episode.
For example, when the master of Langya Pavilion heard that the sixth prince of Beiyan was promoted to prince, he said: He did it!
At first I couldn’t figure it out. Who does he refer to?
Later I understood that this was actually a plot designed by Mei Changsu/Lin Shu played by Liu Qingshan for the prince of the dynasty!
Mei Changsu wanted to use the name of Langya Pavilion to spread the rumor that "Jiangzuo Meilang is a talented man of Qilin, who can conquer the world".
The baseless sixth prince of Beiyan was able to stand out from all the princes and become the prince because he once went to Langya Pavilion and received a tip bag, and then obtained the title of prince with the help of the "Qilin Talent".
This made the prince and Prince Yu, who were fighting fiercely in Daliang, both want to get the help of this "Qilin Talent", so as to kill each other and get the world of Daliang!
At the same time, he used the emperor's preference for Prince Yu to promote him to Prince Qizhu, which caused the prince's dissatisfaction and concern, and sent an assassin to assassinate Prince Yu.
And King Yu, who was lucky enough to escape the assassination, also had a reason to move forward. If he didn't advance, he would die! This paved the way for the subsequent battle between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu!
Then Mei Changsu used two people in one boat to easily scare away the Shuangsha Gang who entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Jiangzuo Alliance. This not only confirmed the Jiangzuo Alliance's status as a major gang in the world, but also established the foundation for the Qingguogong, a military force under the command of King Yu. The downfall was foreshadowed.
This seemingly unintentional move was actually part of the plan.
This is the great thing about this drama. Not only does it allow you to easily see the foreshadowing, it also allows you to easily understand the background of the plot, and it also makes the plot more reasonable!
Of course, the most important thing is that he also explained the reason why Mei Changsu, who was seriously ill, must return to the imperial city and the origin of his illness!
The story unfolds because of the "Great Unjust Case of the Century" Meiling Chiyan Case 13 years ago. However, the real second male protagonist did not appear in the first episode. This also adds variables to the follow-up and allows the story to unfold. Be more interesting!
So in terms of plot
, this drama works step by step, counting every step, and finally pushes the unloved, kind-hearted, and upright Prince Jing step by step to the position of prince and prince, while the prince and Prince Yu are unknowingly pulled down!
It wasn't until he came to his senses that he discovered that Prince Jing, who had never formed a party, had become the hope for the future of the ministers in the court and their backbone. However, he actually had no obedient ministers in the court.
The conspiracy is also a conspiracy, and the plot advancement makes people want to stop! It really deserves to be called a good drama!
The real story can be seen in the details. Details are often the easiest to impress people, and they also represent the seriousness of the crew.
Before Mei Changsu was arrested in the Xuanjing Department, Fei Liu, who loved plum blossoms, picked a bunch of things called cat-eared umbrellas.
The appearance of this thing is similar to the medicine Mei Changsu has been taking. This medicine has the meaning of warding off disasters and praying for blessings abroad. The red color represents the attribute of fire, which can suppress the fire-cold poison in the body.
This shows the plot without any delay, and also highlights the hero's peerless style: Mei Changsu is far away in the world, but he is famous in the imperial carriage!
Then, through the rumors in the world, the core plot of "Jiangzuo Meilang, the talented man of Qilin, can win the world" is introduced throughout the whole drama.
As the leader of the largest gang in the world, the "Jiangzuo League", Mei Changsu's reputation as "Mei Lang" is well-known in the world.
However, Mei Changsu, who has the supreme status in the world, is a sickly and frail young man. He is burdened with a huge injustice and blood feud more than ten years ago. There is also a huge secret hidden behind his life experience.
Twelve years ago, during the Datong period of Nanliang, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops southward. Lin Shu, the young commander of the Red Flame Army, accompanied his father on the expedition and led 70,000 soldiers to fight against the enemy.
Unexpectedly, the bones of 70,000 soldiers were unjustly buried in Meiling due to the frame-up of the female gangster. Lin Shu recovered his remaining life from the gate of hell. After experiencing the pain of losing all his loved ones and having his bones cut off and his appearance changed, he transformed into Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance, the largest gang in the world.
Twelve years later, Mei Changsu returned to the imperial capital under the pretense of recuperating from illness, and embarked on the road to revenge, avenge, and seize the throne.
After the episode was played, the entire audience stood up involuntarily and gave Liu Qingshan and the entire crew the most sincere applause and screams.
Taking advantage of the commercial time in the middle, the big screen temporarily suspended the broadcast, and the camera lens also started to operate. Following the instructions of the host He Jiong, it was aimed at the media reporters and film critics sitting in the second row.
Although this live interview may not necessarily appear in subsequent recorded programs, it is still necessary to organize the main line of comments in advance, or it can be said to be a pre-rehearsal for the official comments after two episodes.
The first drama critic interviewed gave an interesting comment.
"This drama respects the audience's IQ! If you carefully understand everything that happens in this episode, you will find that the methods and tricks used are only superficial. The key to success is to understand the situation and people's hearts correctly. All plans, Thoughts, emotions, and desires are all based on this. The plot design is so clever! Putting aside the same exquisite sense of picture, I think the plot without routine is the most attractive to me, and the screenwriter’s IQ is really too high!”
Another reporter still had a shocked expression on his face: "I don't have that many professional interpretations. In my personal opinion, this drama is very powerful, and the ratings and professional ratings will be super brutal. This is a revengeful old man. It’s a set story, but it’s interpreted and realized bit by bit with man’s machinations. I’m very eager to watch it!”
A female reporter immediately said: "I really like Mei Changsu played by Mr. Liu. He is both vicious and warm; he is sinister and simple. What I like most is that he does whatever it takes to get rid of all the traps, and deep down in his heart Although I'm married, I just watched one episode today and I found myself falling in love again!"
This almost brainless and cute statement made everyone happy.
The audience also commented.
"There is no bloody love story, no bloody protagonist's sanity and IQ, every link is connected, not delicate, there is no nonsense in each character, and all kinds of acting talents explode."
"The audience is not treated as fools, there is no non-mainstream hair dyeing, and there are four or five unrealistic people pretending to be thousands of troops. Everyone is a person with a normal IQ."
"Watching this drama
No embarrassment, the characters in the drama are well-written and well-spoken, the costumes and props are gorgeous, and the horses are dressed in bright clothes. The background is unique and has profound artistic conception. It can definitely be regarded as full of sincerity in a TV series. So after watching the first episode, I was already hooked. "
"Careful acting, sophisticated costumes and props, a non-delayed plot, conscientious color and soundtrack, exquisite etiquette details, the advantages are too numerous to mention. All in all, "Nirvana in Fire" at least allows us to see that domestic dramas can still save the world. hope."
"What I like most is that the personality and habits of the character in this TV series are completely in line with the character's positioning, and nothing is too far-fetched."
"The characteristics of the TV series produced by Xueyu Entertainment are that they are exquisite in details, exquisitely produced, and the plot is not shocking. There are no particularly abrupt or jerky storylines. They are also logically able to withstand scrutiny. This style continues to "Nirvana in Fire". In addition, , I love this Mei Changsu so much, alien is amazing as always!"
"Why has no one mentioned the theme song of this drama? It follows the style of the TV series, with a leisurely ancient charm and majestic atmosphere. I like it very much!"
"Mei Changsu was involved in the ups and downs of the court as a counselor. He used his frail body to push through the fog of the sea crisis and the wise woman Qian Cheng. He was racing with his own life, but every step of the way... It’s heartbreaking!”
Naturally, these viewers were pre-arranged shills, but there were also viewers who accidentally broke into the camera and made incisive comments, revealing every detail.
It’s time for the second episode soon. The main content of this season is Princess Nihuang’s competition to recruit a bride.
This is also a major event at the beginning of the play. Countries from all over the world went to Jinling in Daliang to propose to Princess Nihuang.
It can be said that Princess Nihuang's martial arts competition to recruit a bride was so grand that it alarmed all countries and was considered an international event.
