Classic love is full of comedy elements
The filming of "Seven Immortals" began in Wuxi in mid-July and is expected to be completed by mid-October. Huo Siyan will portray the love story of the Seven Immortals and Dong Yong. This drama has more comedic elements than the previous love story between the Seven Immortals and Dong Yong, and incorporates more life-like things, making the characters more fleshed out and lovable. It's not easy to make this well-known love story a hit with everyone. The producers had to go through a lot of trouble to make it work, and the script was rewritten four times. In a traditional love story added more humor, so that people in the main character's love worry at the same time can be for the story and laugh. And in order to pursue the visual beauty, the costume styling was hired from Hong Kong's top stylists. The clothes of the seven fairies are red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue and purple. Stunt modeling by the Hong Kong film "big man has great wisdom" stylist Chen Guoxiong to play.
Pan Hong as the "Queen Mother"
Powerful actress Pan Hong, who plays the role of the Queen Mother in the drama, wore a cumbersome costume that made it difficult for her to walk. Pan Hong was very pleased with her look, especially the few peacock feathers on her head: "The production company was very strict and hired the best costume designer in Hong Kong." As for the role of the Queen Mother, Pan Hong also said that she has always been very eager to play: "Being a mother is the happiest thing in the world. My seven 'daughters' have colorful personalities, and I have the most faith in the second one because her personality is most like mine." She said therefore she found a reason for herself to act in an ancient mythological drama: "This drama is shot in a very human way." The white-robed Liuxiaolingtong, who played the role of the old man, did not have much to say in the play, and was supported by Wu Yue, but although he did not speak, the "Monkey King" was already full of immortal energy.
"Seven fairies" gave birth to a child
Theater group in the selection of actors, seven fairies not only to be beautiful and vulgar, and for the "seven sisters" selection is even more difficult, both to be beautiful and vulgar, but also will act, but also consider the Fame. Director Zheng Ki-sung finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Huo Si Yan's photo: "It's her. I've seen her in 'Teenage Sons of Heaven' and she did a great job with her inner drama and has a pretty good camera sense."
Huo Siyan said that in this movie, "Seven Sisters" is a woman who dares to love and hate, and has her own concept of love, and has suffered a lot in order to be with Dong Yong, but she is fearless. Unlike the myth, the drama also tells the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Immortals' lives afterward, including their breakups and the birth of a child. Emotional trials and tribulations are the main thread, and it's very informative.
"Dong Yong" is cold and unfeeling
The popular way to play the male lead in costume comedies nowadays is either to take the "I'm ugly but I'm gentle" route, with elements of Stephen Chow-style humor coupled with magical love spices, such as the popular "Porky the Pig" series that went viral some time ago. "Piggy" series; or handsome and gentle and rich in the spirit of sacrifice, set all the male virtues in one of the Qiong Yao series of romantic dramas, both play on the young female audience is very lethal.
The "Seven Fairies of Happiness" has come up with a double insurance policy, with Zheng Guolin, who plays the role of Dong Yong, and Wu Yue, who plays the role of Fish Eye, as the second male player, who is sensational and hilarious, so that the seven fairies surrounding them will suddenly lose their colors.
Zheng Guolin's previous success as King Li Shimin in "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasty" was impressive, with a perfect blend of warmth and dominance. It is reported that when the director was looking for a young man who could meet the requirements, he happened to see a photo of Zheng Guolin's costume modeling, and immediately contacted the investor to make a decision on the "handsome man in costume".
Cheng said Dong Yong's impression of him was that he was kind, honest, loyal and a filial son. However, the drama emphasizes his love for the "seven fairies". During the filming process, Zheng Guolin was surrounded by seven fairies every day, which was a rare blessing. He joked, "Dong Yong's favorite is of course the seven fairies, and I don't have any feeling about the other fairies discharging on me." It is reported that Zheng Guolin is currently working hard for his career, and is not thinking about his feelings, so it is clear that this "Dong Yong" also has a "cold and heartless" side.
Wu Yue completely gave up martial arts
Wu Yue, who has always been known for his martial arts skills, completely gave up martial arts in the drama and played a role called "Fish Eye". Although he is not Dong Yong, who is "blessed with boundless happiness", Wu Yue claimed that he has the most parts in the drama: "I have a story with every fairy." It turns out that he is the cousin of Dong Yong and the seven fairies in the drama, specializing in helping the fairies resist the persecution of the evil spirits. However, in the show he constantly imitates the Stephen Chow style of nonsensical comedy, and invents many novelties, such as a magnifying glass, a cell phone, and a crazy mouse. This is said to be the first time he has made a drama without "fighting".
The story of the fairies will always be the legend of legends, and the myth of the Seven Fairies is one of the brightest jewels in Chinese mythology.
The Seven Fairies settled down on earth and lived a happy life with her husband, Dong Yong. However, her behavior violated the sacred rules of heaven, and the Queen Mother, under pressure from the gods, recaptured the Seven Fairies and prepared to punish them. Dong Yong loves his wife so much that he breaks into heaven with the help of his cousin, Fish Day, but he is confronted with the Queen Mother's rebuke and his wife, who is weakened by the loss of her immortal bones. The couple vows to grow old together and love each other for a lifetime, and the Queen Mother is powerless to do anything about it, while the entwined love shakes the heart of every fairy.
The couple returns to earth, and the seven fairies spin and weave with the help of the eldest and fourth sisters. But accidents happen. The sisters travel back and forth between earth and heaven, gradually developing a fondness for earth, with the eldest and fourth sisters falling in love with the God of Food and Fish Day. In order to solemnize the regulations of the Heavenly Court, the Queen Mother had to punish the God of Food and the eldest sister, and the confrontation between the fairies and their mother gradually escalated.
At this time, the demon King Eclipse, who was bound 5,000 years ago, awakened because two of the colorful ribbons that bound him were broken, and he realized that this was related to the punishment of the fairies. So he joined forces with the Fairy Broomsticks and began his plan of revenge.
To escape the threat of Heaven and the harassment of the Broom Star, Dong Yong moves his family into the city. The Broom Star still uses the scum of the earth to cause frequent trouble. In order to protect the sisters who have lost their magical powers, other fairies frequent the city, but in doing so, the King of Netherworld Eclipse recovers more and more quickly.
The appearance of the devil aroused the alert of the Heavenly Court, and the King of Nether Erosion came to the Fairy Lake and used the big lake to hide. The gods descended to earth in pursuit of him, so a great battle was waged by the Fairy Lake, and the gods captured the devil king, but the crisis was not lifted.
The love story continues on earth, with the Third Sister and Jin Zha, the Second Sister and Black Eagle, the Fifth Sister and Ma Tianlong, and even the youngest, the Sixth Sister, finding the man of her dreams. The Queen Mother was so enraged that she was about to personally punish these daughters who dared to violate the rules of heaven, when a new crisis arose. It turns out that what the immortals captured was only the double of the King of Eclipse, the Broom Star, and the real Demon King has already broken free from the last bondage with all the seven fairies descending to the earth, and he dreams of becoming the God of the Three Realms.
For the sake of peace and prosperity on earth and in heaven, the Queen Mother herself descends to meet the battle, but she is no match for the Eclipse King. At the moment of crisis, the seven fairies and their seven lovers rescue their mother and defeat the Eclipse King. The seven nymphs and their seven lovers rescued their mother and defeated the King of Eclipse. The earth fell in peace and fulfillment, and the Queen Mother accepted her seven sons-in-law with a smile.
The seven fairies' insights
The seven fairies' insights are as follows:
Hong'er and Gusteau are in love for a thousand years, but Gusteau misinterprets Hong'er, and the truth doesn't come out until later. Hong Er gentle and elegant, dignified manner, but also in addition to the orange child is the most sympathetic to the Queen Mother's pain of the daughter, during which, I believe, she had hesitated, because in the Li Tianwang's pagoda, she and green, together with the broken Faodu stone. Which is more important, mother or happiness? I believe she has found the answer. Remember the words that seemed to be petting?" "You've never really chased me." That's what happens after a big storm. Their love, the water flow, silent, but eternal.
Orange is not so unsympathetic. From the time she wandered in front of the South Heavenly Gate for the sake of her sisters, she couldn't hide it anymore. After descending to the earth, she was also touched by the true love of mankind. I don't know if anyone has noticed, since when did she stop talking about returning to heaven, but put away her own light and silently care about the people around her? In the prison met Black Eagle, can be said to be accidental, can also be said to be inevitable. The empty cell, the cold light, the gaze of the sword, did it erase the last trace of stubbornness in Orange's heart?" Follow you to the ends of the earth," did it lay the foundation for the subtle relationship and tacit understanding between Orange and Black Eagle, which started at an unknown time? Their love is silent. It doesn't require any commitment, a look, can be understood.
If Huang'er had been indifferent and not saved Zi'er, she would never have met Jin Zha. Who would have paid attention to the tenderness that Huang'er had built up little by little after meeting Jinqi? What they have given to each other has become the eternal warmth of each other's hearts. I love you" this three words in their eyes is so bombastic, their love, is the sea withered and rotten, old age.
Green looked at the clouds and smiled fondly, do you realize that their hearts have been loaded with a person? Whether you know, that day, venture to say "fairy I must marry you as a wife" this sentence, is the fish day in the life of the first solemn commitment? She was so happy that she had something on her mind, but the smart Greenie was confused. In order to find the answer, she came down to earth again. When Fish Day lost his memory, even if he didn't know, Green would still guard him day and night, right? Has Midori realized why her sisters are all so greedy for the mortal world? There were no promises between them, but only the words of Fish Day, which made Green follow Fish Day to her heart's content. Their love is a happy couple. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to get through it.
Qing'er is arrogant. She's been like that since before she met Ma Tianlong. She's smart, she's beautiful. She's smart, she's beautiful, she's saintly, she's lively, but she's naive. But she was so naive that she thought if she married someone, she loved her. So, she tried her hand at it. She was as stubborn as her second sister, and made a wager with Fish Day, joking about her life. But after losing her looks, she got more in touch with the mortal world and experienced the warmth of the human world. When Ma Tianlong said those words, she was enlightened. Their love is a bond of suffering. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I'd ever seen a kid in my life.
Blue likes to write and write, and her literary talent is unmatched. She has a great sense of humor. When she saw Liu Yixuan at the Poetry Festival, her eyes seemed to light up. When she saw through Ma Tianlong, she said, "I like the deep ones", which made Liu Yixuan overjoyed. Does she know that cowardice is a blessing? Among the fairies, except for Orange, she has gone through the least amount of trials and tribulations, during which Orange even lost her spirit stone once, but it was safe and sound. Their love is a similarity of interest. For Liu Yixuan, it's hard to find a soulmate in life, let alone a soulmate.
If Zi'er hadn't met by chance, all this might not have happened, right? But, fate, is not easy to dissolve? Dong Yong turned into an eagle and sheep, no regrets, but not to be with her? At the moment of removing her immortal bones, did Zi Er think of her Dong Lang? She held on because she believed that Tung would come to save her, right? Yes, Dong Yong came, but it was too late. It's really too late. They had a lot of ups and downs, but what sustained their relationship was perhaps the look back when they met? The heartache of Sendai? Their love, a series of twists and turns, tearful.
