    "Let's Try the World": When Jack Sue Met Mary Sue

    When "Let's Try the World" was broadcast, fans were quite proud that it was finally not an "ugly" drama with ancient puppets, Yang Yang was a handsome guy, and Zhao Lusi was a beautiful woman. This is a big truth. Many ancient puppet dramas produced at medium and small cost before have some "spicy eyes" on the actors. This doesn't mean that actors just need to look at their faces, but since it's a romantic idol drama, the audience's aesthetic feelings must also be considered - at least they have to be able to continue eating, right?

    In addition to "Let's Try the World", Yang Yang's other "Special War Glory" is also on the air. But to be honest, Yang Yang's acting performance in "Special Warfare Glory" may be more breakthrough than "Let's Try the World". In terms of character settings, "Let's Try the World" is more inclined to Xiao Nai from the early "Smiling, Very Alluring" - "I'm so handsome all the time".
    Of course, this can't all be blamed on the actors, it has something to do with the people in the novel.
    "Let's Try the World" is adapted from Qing Lingyue's martial arts romance novel of the same name. This is a very ancient novel. It was serialized on Jinjiang Literature City in 2004, and there were many fans at that time. The special feature of the novel is not only the martial arts + intrigue, but also its dual-strength setting-the male and female protagonists are strong men, the strong duel, the strong join forces, and the strong fall in love.
    In the play, the male protagonist Hei Fengxi (played by Yang Yang) is a typical Jack Su, and almost all the male advantages converge on him.

    In terms of identity, his "tuba" is Feng Lanxi, the prince of Yongzhou, and his "trumpet" is Hei Fengxi, a peerless expert who walks the rivers and lakes. In terms of appearance, he is "remarkably handsome, graceful and noble". In terms of martial arts, he has two cards, two cards, two cards, one person, two of the world's four masters. In terms of talent, he is not only good at martial arts, but also has good power and strategy, but also grows flowers, music, cooking, tea, etc...
    Too perfect characters often appear fake. So from the novel to the series, I try to make Hei Fengxi feel a little bit broken - he has an unknown loneliness, and he grew up with overwhelming malice as a child, which makes his character dark-bellied and cunning .

    Although Hei Fengxi's biological mother is the queen of Yongzhou, she is virtuous and unparalleled, but the king of Yongzhou (played by Zhang Fengyi) is bewildered by Baili (played by Li Ruotong). Dread and framed. Heifengxi has to keep a low profile and keep a low profile. On the surface, he is kind to others, but inwardly he rejects people thousands of miles away.
    The heroine, Bai Fengxi (played by Zhao Lusi), sees Hei Fengxi as an "old fox" when he opens and closes his mouth. People in the world misread Hei Fengxi and think he is chivalrous, but she sees through his scheming.
    Jake Sue seems to be very good to play, but it is not. It requires a particularly high degree of control. When he acts well, he is arrogant and arrogant, which makes people feel awe, but for the opposite sex, he also has a strong sexual tension, which makes people want to get close and "promiscuous", such as "Chen". Jiu Chen played by Zhang Zhen in Xi Yuan. The scale is not well grasped, Jack Su is on the surface, and his words and deeds are only "holding", handsome and handsome, but there is no emotional fluctuation, and the audience has no awe or interest.
    Yang Yang's good posture is a major advantage. He walks, lives, sits, and sleeps upright. He stands like a pine tree, sits like a bell without shaking, and walks with a gust of wind. He can support the elegant and elegant costume of ancient times. Harshness is commensurate.
    If you want to make some suggestions, Yang Yang can act more relaxed. Look at his appearance, he came with a book, his eyes were clearly not fixed on the book, and he still maintained the posture of holding the book during the recitation performance. Then he chatted with his subordinates and turned his head, as if he had precisely calculated the magnitude. The overall image appears somewhat restrained.

    If the performance is a matter of opinion, then from the novel to the drama, the character of Hei Fengxi has been changed. The drama seems to be unable to tolerate the "black belly" of Hei Fengxi, and can't bear to let him have even a little flaw, so I put The black belly of Heifengxi has become "good intentions".
    Several times in the play, Bai Fengxi just scolded Hei Fengxi as an "old fox", saying that Hei Fengxi had only calculations in his heart and only considered his own interests. Fengxi has already arranged everything properly, and has long taken into account the suffering of people's livelihood. As a result, the black abundance in the play appears to be very "pure", but the richness of the inner world is not as good as the novel.
    Like Hei Fengxi, Bai Fengxi also has two identities. The big one is Princess Xiyun of Qingzhou, and the small one is another peerless master alongside Hei Fengxi. When she was ten years old, she could write essays that made the champions worship, and the poems she wrote were circulated in the world; at the age of twelve, she cut off the generals of the Imperial Guard with a sword; at the age of fourteen, she fought against five hundred soldiers with a white silk ribbon of thirty feet; at the age of fifteen, she wrote political comments Shocked the court...

    In the court, she is brave, resourceful, wise, and proud of the world. In the rivers and lakes, she is affectionate, righteous, unrestrained, and informal; she is not a de-feminized "Mulan", the charming and delicate that a peerless woman possesses. , Amorous, she also has. This is really an unprecedented strange woman in ancient romance novels. She combines the advantages of a big heroine and a small woman. Naturally, there are almost no young men who appear around her who don't love her.
    Extreme things turn into opposites, and the moon turns into losses. This Mary Sue is too extreme, and it's not easy to act. Zhao Lusi's version of Bai Fengxi still has a bit of the performance inertia of the previous characters, she is more than cute and clever, but lacks sassy and domineering.
    In a nutshell, Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi have really improved the appearance level of ancient puppet dramas, but the two young actors are still relatively "tender". role, I believe there will be greater progress.
    "Let's Try the World" martial arts + power and intrigue are parallel, there are rivers and lakes and temples, and the story pattern is much larger. However, the line of martial arts is still a little rushed. For example, when they first came up, it was the Han family, the Duanhunmen, the Qi family, and the Shang family. It seemed that the relationship was very complicated, but they were all "tools", and they all went offline after a while.
    The current plot line is more developed between Feng Lanxi and his half-brother Feng Chang (played by Zhang Tianyang) and third brother Feng Ju (played by Liu Ruilin). Feng Ju is Feng Lanxi's opponent. Obviously, whether Feng Chang will be "blackened" is a more interesting suspense.

    As for the double-strength setting, when Jack Sue meets Mary Sue, the drama is mainly about love and love-sprinkling sugar is the more important thing in "Let's Try the World". Eye-catching is eye-catching, but it is still a bit cliché.
    For example, Bai Fengxi fell off a cliff, and at the critical moment, Hei Fengxi caught her. They have fallen off the cliff, and the hair can still violate the laws of physics, and it is almost motionless.

    For example, Bai Fengxi was wearing more stunning clothes, and Hei Fengxi didn't seem to recognize her. He was stunned by her beauty, and the two looked at each other and hugged again.

    For example, if he picked up two birds, one white and one black, Bai Fengxi and Hei Fengxi had to keep them separately. Hei Fengxi disagreed at first, Bai Fengxi said, Hei Fengxi, who lives in the splendid pile, doesn't know how pitiful Wu Niang is. Hei Fengxi said: I lost my mother when I was very young. He let his subordinates lead a bird away, and Bai Fengxi felt a little guilty for Hei Fengxi.
    It's a bit strange for such a cold and deep black breath to blurt out such lines.

    The screenwriter wants to create a connection between the two people by raising birds, but the script is still a little blunt. What's the difference between raising two birds and raising one bird? Raising a bird took the line "I lost my mother when I was very young", which doesn't quite fit the character of Heifengxi and coldness.

    Another example is Hei Fengxi, although he is a top expert and is "beautiful, strong and miserable", but many times he is like a little boy in love, and he is jealous at every turn. The progress of this relationship is a bit too fast, but it is less interesting to go around.
    Another example is that Bai Fengxi rescued Hei Fengxi who fell into the water. Hei Fengxi who was in a drowsiness had a high fever and kept saying that I was cold, and then Bai Fengxi hugged him to sleep and warmed him - this plot is too ancient Ha.

    Another example is Hei Fengxi's expression of gratitude to Bai Fengxi, that is, taking her to buy clothes and giving her hairpins - isn't this the way the overbearing president takes Cinderella to the mall?

    In general, the love-hate relationship between the two masters in the rivers and lakes and the temple is still too straightforward. In the novel, Bai Fengxi and Yan Yingzhou have a wonderful relationship, but Yan Yingzhou went offline in one episode (whether it will be resurrected later remains to be seen); in the novel, Hei Fengxi did not like it from the beginning. Bai Fengxi, he has a lot of candidates going around, and when he comes to the play, he will vaguely like Bai Fengxi and eat her vinegar... This kind of "purified" love, although the emotions of the male and female protagonists The play seems more "sweet", but only the sweetness is a little monotonous. Of course, if you just treat it as an ancient puppet, you will have enough looks and sweetness.
    According to the plot of the novel, when Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi are together, Hei Fengxi will face the choice of whether to love the country or the beauty, and the relationship between the two will face a real test. Whether the emotional drama will have a richer flavor at that time, we will wait and see.
