Coupled with the level of special effects that could be called world-class at the time, and the martial arts design that is obviously good for a Machiavellian drama, not to mention the foreshadowing of various cultural details.
Then we focus on the costumes of actors and actresses, the combination of sunken buildings, scenery, etc. Not to mention that costume dramas were dimensionally reduced at the time. Even today, more than ten years later, I believe everyone will still praise them. of.
Except for some historical dramas on the market in 2007, 99% of the costume idol dramas were based on Abao color, skin matting, and special effects.
"Nirvana in Fire"'s high-end aesthetic ink painting style, exquisite costumes, composition, action design and special effects level instantly make other costume dramas look like shit.
Then there is the model of pairing powerful young actors with veteran actors. The way of interpreting the plot between idol dramas and serious dramas is the cornerstone of distinguishing the past and present of costume dramas.
According to the analysis of the plot, character creation and core expression, although it is not as good as the real drama, it still beats the idol drama.
What’s even more rare is that this drama itself is a joke, but its plot structure, narrative advancement, detail presentation, interlocking dramatic conflicts, and the logic behind the characters, etc., are really There is no way to compare it with historical dramas, but in this kind of commercial drama, it is invincible.
For example, its expression is the traditional Chinese innocence wrapped in the story of The Count of Monte Cristo's Revenge.
Many people in China have never realized this. Modern film and television dramas are industrial commodities, but cultural commodities must have cultural pursuits after all. But although they are commodities, they cannot be too commercialized.
If a film and television drama succeeds in all aspects, the key is that it will be very successful in the market and even form a "cultural phenomenon."
As a cultural commodity, it will become a benchmark within and outside the industry, and it is destined to lead the subsequent production model of similar cultural commodities.
In addition to its own quality, "Nirvana in Fire" is mainly due to the rise of palace dramas and the decline of mainland dramas and cross-strait and three-region cooperation costume dramas.
When the new era of IP arrives and the products on the market are in chaos, it is bound to find a relatively successful path and is destined to have far-reaching influence.
Therefore, while "Nirvana in Fire" will become an IP costume drama, it will also lead the upgrading of the production model of the entire market.
This kind of phenomenal work will definitely become a benchmark for cultural commodities, and then begin to lead the market in subsequent production and manufacturing of similar cultural commodities.
In the era of commercialization of the cultural industry, the market will continue to copy successful products, and keep filming them, until they suck like palace battle dramas and heroine dramas, and the audience vomits after watching them.
Although Liu Qingshan was not a pioneer before, he led Gongdouju to soar to the sky.
Now he is coming again with a new theme and new genre like "Nirvana in Fire". This drama is destined to be blown up by the media as a phenomenon and even become a god. There will be almost no surprises.
Sure enough, the entertainment pages of major newspapers the next day all published a striking headline: A phenomenon-level hit, Liu Qingshan's latest domestic costume drama, "Feng Shen".
The title is of course not word for word, but the intended meaning is magically the same.
The analysis including the content part is also similar. It is nothing more than that the production level is getting better and better, the cast and role matching are not stretched, the script and expression are innovative, and a new benchmark for modern film and television dramas was born, etc.
Of course, among the various comments, Liu Qingshan's outstanding performance was the most highlighted.
People are talking about how Liu Qingshan's temperament matches that of Mei Changsu. He is a hatred of his country and his family, but he is reborn from the ashes. They say that he is the proud man of heaven who shines brightly. It is better to say that he is a lone beast walking alone in the darkness. He has "a story". Typical characteristics.
Liu Qingshan has exquisite facial features and melancholy eyes. When he is quiet, he often gives people a sense of distance and independence, which is consistent with Mei Changsu's character.
Secondly, this drama has already accumulated a large number of viewers before it even started airing, and its quality really matches this attention.
The audience's good impression of the script and actors led some people to label the drama as a "conscience production" in advance, and the subsequent content presentation also gave the audience a positive impression.
The first impression is more profound, or it is genuine.
Its charm also lies in that this TV series is not limited to pictures and dialogues, which greatly compromises the artistic conception. Instead, it leaves the audience with the unsatisfactory words, as well as the beautiful environment and the more detailed description of inner fluctuations. The space for our unlimited imagination.
Especially for "Nirvana in Fire", which focuses on the inner drama of the protagonist without any narration and psychological profile, this is not because the screenwriter Liu Qingshan is too adventurous, but also because he is extremely confident in the acting skills of all the actors.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Every character that has appeared in the play so far is inseparable from the most exquisite performance of each actor. Moreover, in terms of meticulous etiquette details and semi-literary elegant dialogue, compared with other ancient costumes In terms of the drama, he showed far superior acting skills.
Especially when it comes to Mei Changsu, the absolute protagonist, a large number of dedicated comment posts surrounding this character have even appeared on the Internet.
You must know that this is the second day after the premiere. The origin of these posts is obviously summarized by those fans who like the show very much overnight.
These posts are so detailed that every detail of Liu Qingshan's expression is broken down and interpreted, and between each comment, a picture of a certain frame of Mei Changsu's expression is posted.
Such dense review content started from the inner drama of the first male protagonist riding the carriage at the city gate in the first episode.
After many hardships, Mei Changsu returned to Jinling, but unexpectedly met Nihuang at the city gate (picture).
Maybe he thought he was strong enough in his heart, but he still panicked when he heard Nihuang's name (picture).
After hesitating, he opened the door curtain, and Nihuang and Jingrui were competing in martial arts. Their postures were as graceful as dragons, and their smiles were heroic. They spread their wings like a dazzling phoenix, and the light forced into Mei Changsu's dark desert, stinging him. eyes (picture).
At that moment, Mei Changsu narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, filled with that figure - you are a phoenix, I am a lonely soul, the more dazzling you are, the more painful I am, love and struggle, inferiority and helplessness, Well explained (picture).
No matter how violent my heart is, I can only let it go gently and hide everything behind the curtain (picture).
With one lift and one look, Liu Qingshan vividly displayed Mei Changsu's temperament. Without a single line, the audience seemed to have heard him pour out a thousand words.
After Shi Hui searched for these contents on the Internet, she hurriedly found Liu Qingshan to show them as if her butt was burned by fire.
Although he had already expected it, he was still happy in his heart and smiled on his face when he saw so many comments about his performance in a short period of time.
Of course, most of the comments are about the plot, and the extremely high evaluations in this regard are surprisingly unanimous.
Obviously, these are due to the fact that today's audiences are becoming more and more picky, and it is difficult to establish a bloody plot with special effects and fresh meat. There is a very direct reason.
The plot is compact, the logic is clear, there is no delay, and there is no foreshadowing that cannot be justified. This is the most profound feeling that the first two episodes brought to the audience.
In addition, the three-dimensional background settings and plump characters also give the actors a basis for their performances. Simply put, they are the best factors for "entertainment".
In the play, the plot of setting up a trap to save Wei Zheng vividly pushed the climax forward for two episodes. Not to mention the excitement and complexity of the plot within the plot, the framer's accurate grasp of the personality weaknesses and timely utilization of them also made the success reasonable.
King Ji helped out with the help of his old memories. Xia Jiang's pride and desire for control made him think that he was a trader, but he was set up instead.
The entire story chain is complete, and even if the audience carefully scrutinizes it, they can't find anything far-fetched at all.
These suspense elements in "Nirvana in Fire" attract the audience to write down every interesting or deliberately presented plot, and suddenly realize it when the subsequent plot echoes, giving the audience an inexplicable sense of complacency and satisfaction.
The rigorous plot setting has never disappointed the audience. The old couple mentioned in the first episode are not only escorted by Zhuo Qingyao, but also secretly protected by Jiangzuo Alliance.
It was only mentioned in a few words at the beginning, but later it played a key role in the Qingguo case that suppressed the prince.
When Xia Dong pays homage to her late husband and meets Mei Changsu, a strange third-person perspective scene and the rumors of monsters appearing many times in the county also echo Nie Feng's return very well.
Of course, these have not appeared in the first two episodes, but the complete logic of the script has been reflected here.
There is also the emotional portrayal of the characters. For example, after Mei Changsu returned with scars all over his body, he was not as withdrawn and cold as he appeared. In the play, he made two gaffes when he shouldn't have.
One time was when she was meeting the Queen Mother, who mistakenly thought she was Lin Shu; the other time was when she realized that Nihuang was in trouble and her innocence might not be guaranteed.
The script's setting of Mei Changsu does not follow the cliché line of "return of dominance and cold-blooded revenge". His inner weakness and desire for love make Mei Changsu vivid and fleshy, making it easier for the public to resonate.
All in all, this show is very popular, so popular that it has caught the attention of many people.
Because with the popularity of the TV series, Langya Mountain and Langya Pavilion also became hot words that attracted much attention overnight.
On the morning of the next day, not only in Chuzhou, Hui Province, in order to make its Langya Mountain Scenic Area popular through the "Langya List" and promote the development of local tourism, someone had already proposed to change the name of the "Huifeng Pavilion" in the scenic area to "Langya Mountain".
