"Meet Jun Chu": With high popularity, but mixed reputation, it is difficult to become the next Xianxia explosion.

After being left out in the cold for nearly two years, the domestic Xian Xia drama has finally ushered in a high-profile work called "Getting to Know You", starring two famous actors, Dilraba and Allen. On the first day of the first broadcast, the market share of the whole network exceeded 17%, and it won the championship of that day (data comes from Lighthouse Professional Edition). According to Cat's Eye Professional Edition, popularity only increased, and it was easy to win the top three popularity of the whole network in just three days.

The story is adapted from Lu Jiu ChristianRandPhillips's novel Yu Ji Jie. It mainly tells the love story between Ji Yunhe (Dilraba) and Jiao Ren Changyi (Allen). After heartache, misunderstanding, hatred and reconciliation, all shall be well, jack shall have Jill.

After watching 7 episodes in one breath, some were amazing and some were disappointed. The adaptation loyal to the original work and the "innovation" set by the hero and heroine make the series interesting, but at the same time there are many slots related to the "presentation of the basic logic and special effects of the story", which leads to different evaluations of the series.

First, be loyal to the original.

The first two episodes of "Meeting" clearly explained the reason why Ji Yunhe, the soul master, met Changyi, and described in detail the owner of the valley, Lin Lin, his ally Xue Sanyue, the cat demon and the villain Shunde.

Ji Yunhe was controlled by the owner of Wanhua Valley since childhood and was deeply troubled by the poison of "frost". He was forced to become the next competitor of Gu Zhu, and became an enemy with his friend Lin, who grew up together.

In order to escape from Wanhua Valley, Ji Yunhe planned for many years, and finally got the opportunity when he sent Jiao Ren Changyi to Wanhua Valley for domestication in Ji Xian, Shunde: Shunde Ji Xian promised that whoever could domesticate Jiao Ren would realize one of his wishes. This is Ji Yunhe's only chance to escape from Wanhua Valley, and the story officially begins here …

Judging from the story structure, Meeting Jun Chu is 80% faithful to the original. The selfish intention of Ji Xian in Shunde to tame Jiao Ren prompted Ji Yunhe to meet her. At first, Ji Yunhe didn't really help the long-term, but took it as the key setting of "getting rid of difficulties" and presented it to the audience early, showing a strong drama conflict.

Xianxia theme, in addition to the emotional drama between the hero and heroine, narrative lines related to the whole world are also the audience's favorite. Compared with the absurdity that the soul-bender was controlled by the royal family with frost in the original work, and the monster was domesticated as a toy of the royal family, the setting of "the soul-bender subdues the demon" in the play is obviously greater in order to punish evil and promote good; The adapted Ji Yunhe is subject to the setting of the owner of Wanhua Valley, and can also highlight the highlight of this role "unwilling to be in reality and bravely pursue freedom", making the whole story more visible.

Although only seven episodes were broadcast, it was well done from the story of the protagonist to the group portrait. The sadomasochism between Snow March and The Separation of Cats and Demons, and the arrogance of the villain Shunde Ji Xian are all well presented.

Second, CP feels sparks flying.

With the joint efforts of Dilraba and Allen, "Meeting Jun Chu" was bursting with popularity before it was broadcast. The former is an aura actress, vividly interpreting the lovely actresses Gao Wen and the nine-tailed fox Jiu Feng; The latter is called "ceiling of ancient dolls". From "Brilliant Tang Dynasty" to "Under the Golden Clothes" to "Zhou Sheng as usual", it is explained with superb acting skills and affectionate eyes that you can always trust Allen's ancient costumes.

Under normal circumstances, both the male and female protagonists in Xian Xia's plays are "men are cute and women are cute", but Meeting Jun Chu is unique, playing the anti-routine of "men o women a".

Getting rid of the silly and sweet mistress setting, Dilraba plays the spiritual bender Ji Yunhe, who is beautiful and quiet, and seizes every opportunity to escape from the predicament of being controlled. Even if Jiao Ren Changyi is used as a pawn, it is with the goodwill of "I don't want innocent people to get hurt because of the selfish thoughts of Shunde Ji Xian". Even if the audience knows her real intention, it is impossible to hate the role, but to admire her courage to resist.

Contrary to the image setting of domineering figures in previous dramas, Jiao Ren, played by Allen in this drama, has a long meaning of "being clever and lovely". Allen's ignorance when the fish's tail turned into a leg, questioning Ji Yunhe's concern for himself as a malicious distrust of small eyes, being kissed by Ji Yunhe, and trying to squeeze out tears to give Ji Yunhe the cuteness of "tears turned into pearls" are all well interpreted.

Compared with two of a kind in the routine, Ji Yunhe's unconscious temptation under selfish thoughts and his efforts without leaving any room under the emotion of long-term simplicity and ignorance make the audience feel more addicted. Because Ji Yunhe was close to long-term utilitarianism from the beginning, there is bound to be misunderstanding between them. Especially in the file preview, "Ji Yunhe seems to stab Changyi, but in fact he sends Changyi back to the most suitable healing water", which can be described as sweet talk and constant abuse.

Fortunately, Changyi can't just see the "bad" side of Ji Yunhe: the first scene at the beginning of the series is the indifference of Changyi's imprisonment of Ji Yunhe, but judging from the lines of "You can only stay by my side", it is obviously a secret love of "loving you but not telling". Although this plot tends to be old-fashioned, the victory lies in the high value of Dilraba and Allen and their acting skills. As far as the emotional line is concerned, it is still very good.

Third, the story logic is not convincing.

"Meeting Jun Chu" has no big problems from the shaping of the story background to the presentation of the most important emotional lines of the hero and heroine. But this is exactly what makes the audience feel most sad: the story context is on the right track, but the basic logic of the story that should be paid most attention to is ignored.

Take Ji Yunhe, a soul bender, as an example. In the seven episodes that have been broadcast, in order to escape from the frost control of the Valley Master, it is not watertight, but it is also courageous and resourceful.

However, if we break away from this "resistance to difficulties", we will find that Ji Yunhe's character setting is very exaggerated: he is not the best soul bender in the valley by magic, but by knowing the monster and touching it with emotion. The credibility of winning by mouth is not high; Corresponding to Ji Yunhe's way of taming Changyi, Jiao Ren, it is also very nifty to put in a good word and give food. He suddenly kissed Changyi and lied that he fell in love with Changyi. It is fluent in emotional logic, but it is still difficult to convince the audience in rational logic.

On the other hand, the opposition between Lin and Ji Yunhe, the owner of the valley, also puzzled the audience: Lin ordered Ji Yunhe, a powerful man, to stand on the opposite side of his son Lin, in order to encourage Lin to keep forging ahead, hoping that one day Lin could defeat Ji Yunhe with strength and eliminate public opinion to become a upstart of the valley owner.

But the problem is, before this, Gu Zhulin already knew the deep friendship between Ji Yunhe and Lin, and now Lin also knows that "Lin has been secretly helping Ji Yunhe", and they can't really hate each other. It is quite puzzling to forcibly turn Gu Zhulin into a villain when logic is not established.

Fourth, bad special effects and scenery.

It is said that the director of Meeting Jun Chu once directed Sweet as Frost, so the film Meeting Jun Chu is also highly anticipated. Compared with the rough "Jiao Ren image" in the first edition of the preview, the special effects in the official broadcast version have obviously become more refined. Under the proper proportion of fishtail and human body, the public opinion of shooting Allen in a fake muscle suit is self-defeating, and everything is for the final effect.

Ji Yunhe's exquisite special effects in fighting monsters and the shock of the birth of qingluan bird in the sixth episode are very good, and the feeling of "honey is as sweet as frost" is amazing. But it may be that funds are limited. Except for the special effects of these more important scenes, the special effects of other scenes are "fake". Coupled with the poor aesthetic tone of Po in the later period, the audience felt very jumpy. For example, when Ji Xian, a villain in Shunde, appeared, the pictures of fairy attendants scattering flowers around him were full of strong inferiority complex.

Xian Xia drama is not an ordinary ancient puppet show. In addition to wonderful stories, it is also very important that the scenery is beautiful and the special effects are beautiful. For example, 20 18 "Sweet Honey as Frost" exploded, and the hot search keyword "exquisite special effects" was first used before the plot was circled.

Understanding Jun Chu is better than the classic sadomasochism plot and the new design of the hero and heroine, but it ignores the most basic story logic and the presentation of extra special effects. From these points of view, the heat will remain high, but it is still difficult to become an explosion.
