How long has it been since you watched a decent costume suspense drama?

In the domestic drama market, costume suspense dramas have always been a special existence.

There is no need to say much about classics such as "Young Justice Bao" and "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty". Even in recent years, there have been hit dramas such as "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty" and "Lotus Tower".

But this year, costume suspense dramas seem to have hit a slump.

The dramas launched, such as "Detective Dee's Cases in the Tang Dynasty", "The Travels of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple" and "The Flower Garden", have suspenseful plots and unsatisfactory story logic. Although they can alleviate the audience's temporary lack of dramas, they can never be compared with the classics.

When will there be another great drama that can revitalize the ancient costume suspense theme?

It's today!

The much anticipated "Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Tang Gui 2") will be launched on Taoyuan tonight. The original cast will return in full to bring a new suspenseful and strange story.

If you want to know which drama is likely to be a big hit during the summer season, just look at this new drama!

The "Crime Solving Team" sets out again, and strange cases abound on the journey westward

The story of "Tang Gui 2" continues the content of the previous season. At the beginning of the story, Su Wuming (Yang ZhigangPlayed by) and Lu Lingfeng (Yang XuwenIn order to avoid disaster, Su, Lu and others left Chang'an and embarked on a journey to the west.

From being unpopular in the first season to being urged by fans to release the second and third seasons, the success of "Tang Gui" is entirely due to its hardcore plot.

Compared with the story of the first season, "Tang Gui 2" has upgraded the plot, not only increasing the suspense atmosphere, but also adding two highlights.

The first highlight: strange stories.

Compared with the content of the first season, the supernatural elements in "Tang Gui 2" are obviously strengthened.

Various "monsters" that combine Chinese horror style will appear in the play, including fish monsters that turn the tide on the sea, an army of rhinos that are half the height of a city wall, "fairies and demons" that walk out of murals, etc.

The whole drama seems like a huge Shan Hai Jing that has been opened. While it is full of suspense, the audience can feel the obvious improvement in the sophistication of the picture.

The devil puts an eye-opener, and spirits emerge. A paintbrush becomes the key to the whole case. Is the devil who walked out of the mural this time an illusion?

It can be said that in "Tang Gui 2", there is a lot of suspense and more fantasy and strange stories, which is just right.

The second highlight: political intrigue.

In "Tang Gui 1", the key for Su Wuming and others to solve the case is to restore peace to the world. Although there are power struggles in the main line, the main focus is on solving the case.

But in "Tang Gui 2", the main plot of power struggle is clearer. Under the scramble of powerful parties, the forces of the underworld are secretly planning to disrupt the order of the Tang Dynasty.

The competition among various forces has reached a white-hot stage. Behind every case there is a manipulator who controls the direction of events.

While following the protagonists' footsteps to solve the case and search for clues, the story also has a deep portrayal of the complex human nature in troubled times, and the characters in different positions each have their own desire puzzles.

Suspense + adventure + intrigue + thriller, the suspense atmosphere is at its maximum, and it naturally has the makings of a hit drama.

However, the suspense is only superficial. Looking further down, you will see the portraits of all living beings under the curtain of the dynasty, with their intertwined strange emotions, unfolding slowly.

If "Tang Gui 1" is the net laid by the director for the audience, then "Tang Gui 2" is the chess game played by the director, a net, a chessboard, which firmly locks the audience's attention and dares not to deviate even a little.

The stories are ever-changing, the plots are ups and downs, the twists and turns are constant, and the thrills are endless. The Chinese drama market in the summer season is finally about to ignite!

The original cast returns, and the lineup is just right

The success of "Tang Gui" is not only due to its hardcore plot, but also the actors' superb performances are the key to attracting the audience into the play.

The greatest sincerity of "Tang Gui 2" is to listen to the opinions of the audience, and the original cast remains unchanged and returns in full!

The first one is Yang Zhigang.

As a popular actor in the anti-Japanese drama, Yang ZhigangIron Pear Flower, "Dog-beating Stick", "Fire Blue Blade" and other popular dramas, he has demonstrated his considerable strength.

Although his personal style and the way he delivers lines have been criticized many times, it is undeniable that his acting skills are superb.

The success of "Tang Gui 1" is inseparable from Yang Zhigang's wonderful performance.

In "Tang Gui 2", Su Wuming, played by Yang Zhigang, is still the same as before.

The mysterious style of his dialogues just neutralizes his overly exaggerated style. When discussing the case with Lu Lingfeng, his frown made people know that things were not simple.

With Yang Zhigang in the cast, the acting in the new drama won’t be bad.

Second place: Yang Xuwen.

In "Tang Gui 1", Yang Xuwen's Lu Lingfeng's fighting scenes were neat and tidy, and his "three-sword style" amazed the audience.

In the play, Yang Xuwen perfectly presented the character's growth process with amazing performance.

In "Tang Gui 2", Yang Xuwen returns with a strong sense of righteousness. The Lu Lingfeng he plays is the golden signboard of Jinwu Guard wherever he goes.

I am not worried about Yang Xuwen's acting skills. Now I just look forward to the early release of "Tang Gui 2" so that the audience can once again appreciate Lu Lingfeng's dashing fighting moves.

Third place, Chen Chuang.

from"Lotus LanternFrom the Roaring Sky Dog in "A Chinese Odyssey" to Master Fei Ji in "Tang Gui 1", Chen Chuang focuses on shaping each character and never has the burden of being an idol.

In "Tang Gui 1", his performance is delicate and natural. The role of Master Fei Ji he plays is the source of laughter in the whole play. The line "Lu Lingfeng, take the gun" almost runs through the entire play.

In "Tang Gui 2", Chen Chuang returns with the red-nosed Master Fei Ji. Although there are not many shots of him in the trailer, the smiling face that flashes by makes people feel more friendly, and I am really looking forward to it.

Fourth place, Gao Siwen.

This is an underestimated talented young actress.

In "Tang Gui 1", Pei Xijun, played by Gao Siwen, was not popular when she first appeared, but as the plot deepened, the audience became "really fond of her".

He looks like a clever rabbit when he smiles, and his exquisite painting skills help Su Wuming solve many major cases. Under Gao Siwen's performance, the character becomes more full.

In "Tang Gui 2", Pei Xijun, played by Gao Siwen, is still smart and lively.

Sitting in front of the drawing board and looking at the camera with curved eyebrows, she is so cute. I wonder if there will be any new developments in her relationship with Lu Lingfeng in the new plot? I am so curious.

Fifth place,Yu Yi。

In addition to the original cast of "Tang Gui 1", there are many "new partners" in the unit dramas of "Tang Gui 2".

The most anticipated actor is Yu Yi, the soul actor in "Soul Ferry".

Qin Xiaobai, played by Yu Yi in Tang Gui 2, is a crazy painter. Is he the murderer of the unit case? We will wait and see.

besides,Sun Xuening, Liu Zhiyang, Yue LinaWaiting for the "old" actors,Heizi, Che PaulThe addition of "new" actors and other actors will make "Tang Gui 2" even more interesting, which is really exciting.

Conclusion

The saying "They all don't think highly of you, but you are the most competitive" is totally appropriate when applied to "Tang Gui".

When the costume suspense genre fell into a slump and the cast was not strong enough, "Tang Gui" managed to become a dark horse costume suspense drama by relying on its hardcore content and the actors' superb performances.

It can be said that in the drama "Tang Gui", the audience felt the pleasure of being respected by the director and the actors. Such a sincere work attracted a large number of fans to urge for more updates.

Now, the much-anticipated "Tang Gui 2" is about to be aired, and my expectation for it is no longer "whether it will be a hit", but "how big of a hit it will be".

The more I think about it, the more excited I get. I can’t wait to see the release of "Tang Gui 2"!
