After waiting for five years, finally came.
It's about you, Celebrating the Second Anniversary.
The first season was very popular. In the past five years, audiences have been urging the audience to make changes every year in the official micro blog. Now the sudden announcement of the broadcast is still a bit flattering.
Even today, Wang's TV dramas of the past have collapsed.
The popularity of "Celebrating the Second Anniversary" can be regarded as terrifying. The pre broadcast booking broke 1800w. On the day of premiere, the popularity broke 31000 in one hour and 32000 in two hours, making it the most popular TV series in Goose Factory.
Live broadcast has been watched for 2 times, with a market share of more than 10, and the small screen is invincible.
On the evening of the 16th, there was a hot search for the # King of Drama for More Than Years #,
Goose Factory was not modest at all, and responded with two words: Yes.
But he is not the king of drama. Sometimes he can't just watch the heat.
The second part of "Celebrating the Past Years" has experienced many twists and turns from the beginning to the present, and has experienced many bloody dramas and various rumors.
The grand occasion of the current broadcast does not disappoint the fans' expectations.
The original team came to the battle, and Wang Jui practiced again. The Goose Factory did it by himself, and the audience was looking forward to it.
Is there any charm of the big play of fighting for power five years ago in "Celebrating the Second Anniversary"?
The original fantasy world, can the director use the volume of 36 episodes to pull us into the pit again?
After five episodes, Piggy had to say something.
01. Several problems to be solved before the broadcast, and the magical reality after the broadcast
The first "Celebrating the Past Years" is so popular that it exceeded the expectations of all parties.
This, on the contrary, makes "Qingyunian 2" a bit difficult to produce.
The problems faced are actually practical:
First, there is the problem of actors.
When filming "Celebrating the Past Years", many actors in the play were not popular. It can be said that "Celebrating the Past Years", like "Crazy Wind", brought a number of stars.
When people become popular, there will be more film appointments and higher film remuneration.
But is the producer willing to keep the original flavor of the work by increasing costs?
So many famous actors, how to choose a schedule when everyone is free to shoot sequels?
This brings about the first problem in the filming of "Celebrating the Past Years": the trouble of changing roles.
As early as the middle of 2021, Tencent Xinli announced its plan to shoot "Celebrate the Second Anniversary" in that year after reading the film list.
However, the plan is just a plan. After the news was released, there was no following text in the Second Anniversary.
Then, the speech of character Bingyun changing people began to make a great noise.
As a flow artist, Xiao Zhan's performance in "Celebrating the Past Years" is not amazing, but it is also well behaved, which does not slow down the whole play.
However, after the "Celebrating More Years", Xiao Zhan became the most popular flow student in the country because of the "Chen Qing Ling".
Although there were not many scenes, Xiao Zhan did not play the second part, and various public opinions about the scenes broke out.
With the promotion of the rank, it seems certain that Xiao Zhan will not play in Celebrating the Past Years. It was not until this year's lineup official announced that we also found that Yan Bingyun was actually played by Wu Xingjian.
This also indirectly hammered the "changing angle storm" at that time.
Of course, in addition to Yan Bingyun, many roles have been changed in "Celebrating the Second Anniversary".
For example, the Yi Gui Bin played by Zhao Ke was replaced by Sui Junbo.
The role of Ye Linger, played by Han Jiunuo, was replaced by Jin Chen.
These roles are not the core roles of the main line, so different people have different views on different roles.
Just because of the change of roles, the second part of Qingyunian lost some flavor of the previous work more or less.
The second problem faced by Qingyunian 2 is plagiarism.
What I want to say here is not the original content, but the poster.
When the second official poster was announced, some netizens found that the design of this poster was exactly the same as that of the American illustrator Bernie, and even the details had not changed.
The public opinion immediately fermented, and the film party also quickly verified, and was hit to attention, and quickly apologized.
This is also an indirect admission of poster plagiarism, which has caused numerous difficulties in the online production of "Celebrating the Second Anniversary".
It was not until May 2023 that the filming of "Celebrating the Second Anniversary" was started. The main creator said that he had been "refining the script" for the past three years.
In terms of the size of "Celebrating the Past Years", the script has been polished for three years. Of course, it is reasonable to say that the big holes dug in the play are still fresh in everyone's memory.
For example, at the end of the first movie, the saying "All is for Daqing" suddenly stabbed Fan Xian? Is Fan Xian dead or not?
For example, who is the shadow? Is it Sigujian's younger brother as the original said? Fei Jie unmasked the shadow. Why doesn't the play reveal his identity directly?
Another example is that Fan Xian is in danger. Why didn't Uncle Wu Zhu come to save Fan Xian? Who is the grand master in the Qingguo Palace?
These mysteries have been lingering in the minds of the audience for five years, just like all kinds of rumors outside the theater, making it difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
Now, "Qingyunian 2" has finally started broadcasting, and many mysteries will be solved immediately.
The previous hot discussion has become the hot point of going online. Can we play the second part?
02. The advantages of the second part are still worth affirming
Audiences with the doubt that Fan Xian was assassinated are likely to like "Celebrating the Second Anniversary".
The writers also know that the pit that has been hung for five years must be filled as soon as possible.
This leads to the first of the three advantages of "Qingyunian 2": strong taste of the original.
Of course, this flavor is not compared with the greasy novel, but with the first novel five years ago.
The opening is to reveal the secrets. The three bureaus are nested layer by layer, which reveals the doubts of the audience in one breath.
At the end of the last film, Fan Xian was stabbed to death and even his body was cremated.
The news quickly spread to Qingguo. Everyone, including Qing Emperor, thought Fan Xian was dead.
In fact, this was planned by Fan Xian, Wang Qinian and Yan Bingyun.
The goal is to save Fei Jie, Fan Siche and the Teng family orphans while getting rid of the second prince's pursuit.
The secret of "suspended animation bureau" is revealed, but this is just the beginning of the second season.
Because Fan Xian played the game, he had to enter the game with his own body.
On the one hand, the second prince also got the information about Fan Xian's faking death, intending to find out Fan Xian alive when the news spread all over the court and give him the charge of "bullying the king".
On the other hand, in order to break the situation, Fan Xian had to go into the palace secretly to meet Emperor Qing.
It is also necessary to tie the bell. If you make your own game and untie it in front of the emperor, you will have a chance of survival.
Therefore, the forces of Fan Xian Group once again entangled themselves with the Second Prince around feigning death and entering the palace.
This conflict mainly broke out in Baoyue Tower.
The Baoyue Tower was originally set up by the Second Prince for Fan Xian. He lured Fan Xian to find out the trace of the Teng family's mother and son here, and designed to let the living Fan Xian appear here.
In order to get rid of himself, Fan Xian had to ask the Crown Prince for help. The four forces gathered at Baoyue Tower, and the effect of smart fighting was full. The feeling of the last film came back like this.
The second advantage is the rare light happy style.
As we all know, the first play of "Celebrating the Past Years" is a conspiracy play, but its comedy style is obvious.
Because Fan Xian comes from modern times, many conflicts between modern and ancient times have received good results.
In particular, Fan Xian's drunken recitation of poetry can be regarded as the best part of Shuangwen, and no one who has seen it has failed to praise it.
Light comedy can alleviate the seriousness of machinations. For the audience, the experience of watching drama is naturally better.
In the second film, the director continued his previous style, even more prominent than the first in comedy.
When Fan Xian returned to Qingguo after his death, he found that he had mourned himself all the way and left many "neighbors".
What are the mourning for the poetry immortals, what are the discounts for "Han people's clothing", incense fees, and imitation contests
Keep up to greet, people laugh.
The gag between Fan Xian and Wang Qinian is also very interesting.
One is a loyal follower who loves money as much as he can, and the other is a young adult Fan who has a sense of justice. Especially when Wang Qinian helped Fan Xian to go home, he felt like they were interacting with each other in the first film.
Even the second prince, a villain, has many unexpected passages and stems that can make people laugh.
For example, the second prince gnashed his teeth and scolded Fan Xian for "turning into ashes and recognizing himself".
The next second, Fan Xian's ashes collected by his men were brought to the front.
What a hell joke
Compared with the first one, the feeling of watching the play of "Qingyunian 2" is really much easier.
Laughing from time to time in the process of watching it also made this long lost drama circle countless fans again.
The third advantage is performance.
Piggy wants to talk about three people here.
The first is Chen Daoming, who plays the role of Emperor Qingdi.
Hearing the news of Fan Xian's death, the scene of Chen Daoming rushing out of the palace was obviously the original Qingdi.
It has been a long time since I saw Chen Daoming on the screen. This appearance is really crazy.
In the following story, there is also the story of Emperor Qing going out of Beijing in disguise and going straight to the Dadong Mountain. In contrast, Chen Daoming may be the only one who can catch this majestic and contrasting emperor.
The second is Tian Yu, who plays Wang Qinian.
Tian Yu's performance highlights a relaxation.
For one thing, the role of Wang Qinian is delightful. It is the existence of the "clown" in the play, and half of the stems are in him.
Secondly, Tian Yu's performance is naturally steady and steady. It's just right to shake the burden, and it doesn't make people feel embarrassed.
In particular, the state of switching freely reflects the skills of the old drama.
At home, in the face of the tiger wife's "hen pecked husband", the submissive appearance makes people laugh.
In the passage of pretending to surrender to the Second Prince, the shrewdness in the eyes still chilled the audience:
This product can't be a real traitor.
Good acting skills will make the audience have this kind of question, and also make it easier to be brought into the role and plot.
The third is female partner Wang Xiaochen.
There is no shortage of beautiful women in "Celebrating More Years", especially this time, there are countless beautiful women changing roles.
But in the first five episodes, the most outstanding female roles were played by the mothers of Baoyueluo, Sang and Wang Xiaochen.
Wang Xiaochen, the character named Yuan Meng, is a woman who is pure on the surface and like a snake or a scorpion in the heart.
She is a part of the killing and arson. She is the second prince's pawn, and of course the actual controller of Baoyue Tower.
When shaping Yuan Meng, Wang Xiaochen did not deliberately highlight her villainous state, but showed a complex disguise.
When the big master came, she kept posting up, not to mention being gentle.
In private, the girls under my command are also beaten and scolded in a proper way. It seems that they are no different from their mother Sang.
But what makes people think deeply is what she said as she walked after Laojintou died.
An old father died to redeem his daughter, but Yuan Meng had no sympathy.
Instead, he told his subordinates to keep an eye on Lao Jintou's daughter and encouraged her to be a "flower leader".
In this way, it will also save face to go to the old man's grave.
Yuan Meng's disregard for the lives of the people at the bottom and his attitude towards the girls and animals under his command reflect his aristocratic mentality and insidious and cruel nature.
Especially when such words are said quietly, this fear is even stronger.
After waiting for so many years, "Qingyunian 2" will certainly bring some good news.
But these three advantages cannot hide the fact that the whole play is on the verge of collapse.
Although to some extent, "Qingyunian 2" is indeed in line with the first film, and it calms the audience's mind to fill the hole.
But more importantly, it is the hard injury on the quality of the series, which is intolerable.
03. Do you agree with several shortcomings? The logic collapses, the characters are flamboyant, the stems are rotten, the water lasts for a long time, and the divine drama will collapse?
Since the positioning is a trick, it is doomed that "Celebrating the Past Years" cannot use comic passages to dispel all serious plots.
The overall positioning of the drama must be the same as that of the first one, rigorous, serious, suspenseful and even dark.
This feeling is obvious in the first film, which also achieves the relative balance between humor and crisis.
But in the second part, these advantages almost disappear, and four disadvantages are replaced.
Let's look at them one by one.
The first is the logic of complete collapse.
Some people say that Barrett can appear in the ancient cross passage dramas for a fantastic cross passage. What's the logic?
This statement is obviously wrong.
Crossing is setting, but logic is the core of character motivation and story development.
The more trickery, the more logic. If the audience cannot be persuaded logically, the so-called "trickery" will become a gimmick.
Unfortunately, at present, the logic of Qingyunian 2 is basically collapsed.
Fan Xian's feign death is the biggest logic bug.
The first three episodes of the drama basically revolve around the core point of "how to let Fan Xian wash away the crime of lying dead and bullying the king".
But the so-called "deceptive death" is a false proposition.
You can think about it. What we understand as bullying is that someone deceives the emperor subjectively, causing some serious consequences.
However, Fan Xian's motive for feigning death was to save himself, get rid of his shell and save the victims. There was no problem with his motive.
The spread of the news of "suspended animation" itself has nothing to do with Fan Xian. It was sent to Qingguo by various spies who were hiding around and sent letters by flying pigeons.
Fan Xian pretended to die, but he didn't know where or who the news of his death would reach.
Fan Xian was not the one who spread the news, nor was he the one who cheated Qing Emperor.
According to the truth, Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and the second prince should be the ones who bullied the monarch... But there is no reason to be Fan Xian.
How clever Qing Emperor is, and how many people with city government can't understand this logical relationship?
The logic of "suspended death" is unreasonable. The first three episodes of the play are directly based on the crime of bullying the monarch.
The audience naturally doesn't understand why the main characters in the play are obsessed with "suspended animation".
There are many similar collapsing logic in the play.
For example, Lao Jintou went to the Moon Tower to look for his daughter and was stabbed by a thug.
He just forced himself out of the door and told Fan Xian a lot of key information before he fell to the ground and belched his fart.
There is a kind of tool sense that living is to pass information, and dying is to deliberately sensationalize.
Good and decent people die of few words.
The irrepressible logic has made "Celebrating the Second Anniversary" less attractive.
In contrast, the following shortcoming is even more intolerable.
Second, all the pompous characters.
In the first part, several actors performed well.
Although Zhang Ruoyun's performance is a bit too relaxed to be too "modern", his role itself is modern.
Therefore, a modern person among a bunch of ancient people can naturally understand and look on.
But in the second part, almost all the actors are below the standard of performance.
Zhang Ruoyun, as always, is deliberately pompous and has a rather awkward expression. Sometimes, when acting to see the camera, people also play.
However, other actors also seem to have changed their temperament and settings and become pompous, giving people the illusion that "all the modern actors play the ancient".
Chen Pingping, played by Wu Gang, has a serious sense of separation.
In the last film, he was such a dark and cold strategist, who was not interested in anger.
But in this movie, Fan Xian feigns death. Chen Pingping even grovels and runs to coax the Emperor Qing like a child.
You should know that Chen Pingping's people sometimes don't even pay attention to Emperor Qing, and the dialogue looks at each other with a kind of supercilious feeling.
At the beginning of the second film, he acts like a toady eunuch, which is detrimental to the impression.
Also boastful is Gao Lu's wife Wang Qinian.
Although Wang Qinian was henpecked, at least in ancient times, not to mention three obediences and four virtues, some marital etiquette was indispensable, which was the basis of the world view of a play.
But Gao Lu, the tigress, is a bit too much.
When meeting Wang Qinian, he grimaces and deliberately acts ruthlessly.
Turn around to look at Fan Xian, and quickly switch smiling faces, a proper modern soap opera performance.
Knowing the relationship between Wang Qinian and Baoyue Tower, the five finger prints of the scratch on the ear made people feel uneasy.
Fan Xian has passed through, has women's rights also passed through?
In ancient times, how could such a wife treat her husband in front of outsiders?
The pompous and modern characters are not the only ones, but also Versace, the Third Prince and the Second Prince.
The climax of "Baoyulou collusion" is like a child's family.
Please, it's a matter of fooling the king and losing his head. A few people just play with their mouths. It's better to be serious than to escape the script in the secret room. It's a bit speechless.
The third is that there are too many rotten stems, which is funny and deliberate.
If we say that the funny in the first film is the black humor integrated into the plot and character.
The funny part in the second part is the patchwork and sewing of malicious jokes.
Unexpectedly, there are so many vulgar, funny and rotten stems in "Celebrating the Second Anniversary", and sometimes I feel like beating myself up as a playwright.
These stems include but are not limited to:
Bad customs and ethics.
In order to make the show cute, I joined Wang Ba, Wang Qinian's youngest daughter.
This name is obviously for the father to call his daughter "Pa Ba (Dad)".
What makes people physically uncomfortable is that Wang Qinian, a daughter slave, not only has a strong preference for the inverted Tiangang nickname, but also instructs her daughter to call herself "Xiaoniannian".
Anyway, I didn't feel funny when I heard the interaction between father and daughter. Instead, I felt it was harmful to the ethics.
Treble network stem.
As the owner of the third prince, when he inspected Baoyue Tower, he almost became a maker of dithering rotten vulgar stems.
What is "colorful black".
What is a "thick and thin candlestick".
These stems have no impact on the plot, but they will damage the experience of watching the play. I really don't know what the director thinks.
In "Qingyunian 2", there are many, many such stems.
(Brother Pi's expression. jpg)
I wanted to immerse myself in two hours of scheming and wisdom, but I was embarrassed for two hours by a rotten peduncle. It's really not flattering.
The fourth is slow pace and long water duration.
You may not believe it. This "Celebrating the Second Anniversary" only has 36 episodes.
Compared with the 46 episode volume of the first film, it is estimated that there will be three or four films to complete the film "Celebrate the Past Years".
What is more difficult is that although the TV series has 10 episodes less, the water length of the bridge and plot has obviously changed.
Three episodes of a fake death dilemma.
After five episodes, Fan Xian has not entered the capital city.
Throw aside the "Moon Tower", which must show Fan Xian's control in the Fan family, and highlight the next stage of Fan Sizhe's fate.
Other kinds of water stories last for a long time, and people who hate it itch.
In order to play up the mystery of Fan Xian's feigning death, the carrier pigeons will whisper for a while.
After the first episode, everyone except the NPC on the street knew that Fan Xian pretended to be dead, and did not know what the meaning of water was.
To highlight the happy life of Wang Qinian's family.
The drama took a lot of time to create Mrs. Wang's female tiger, highlighting Wang Ba's loveliness, and even the origin of her name.
A stem of "falling eggs" has been played three times, and I don't know where the meaning is.
In such a serious scene as Baoyue Tower, I spent a lot of time discussing how the Third Prince slept on the table.
Fan Xian said after Fan Siche said that after Fan Siche said, he had to interact with each other in person.
In addition to a large number of advertisements in the play, the prelude songs before and after, and the connection of the plot, the single volume of 45 minutes, the advance of the plot is less than 30 minutes.
I don't know what part of the original work can be played in 36 episodes.
After all, there are some important stories behind it, such as taking over the internal treasury, anti-corruption, fraud in the Spring Festival, and going south of the Yangtze River.
Whether this one can wait is still unknown.
After five years of disappearance, it seems that we haven't waited until we wanted to see "Celebrate the Past Years".
Unexpectedly, "Celebrating the Past Years" has also fallen into the strange circle of hot drama sequels, following many popular dramas.
After the fire of a play, it seems that actors, directors, screenwriters and chief creators should gain fame and money.
But this has become the "death cycle" of high-quality dramas.
Because in the circle of national opera, the greater the fame, the more attention the capital pays, the worse the quality of the opera will be, the more perfunctory.
After all, cost is there and efficiency is there.
The production thinking of the drama producer has changed from considering the quality of the drama and attracting the target audience to how to obtain the maximum return with the minimum investment,
It is not difficult to understand if you fall into a vicious circle.
If so, I would rather make only one film of "Celebrating the Past Years".
After all, it was the best "Celebrating the Past Years".
