All the funds were spent on the special effects of "Dust of the Ages". Originally, it was intended to be an "epic masterpiece" but it was wildly sprayed by the whole network.

The shoddy production of costume dramas is an old problem, especially the most costume idol dramas on the market now. Those sweet pet dramas with low cost and small production can still be tolerated by the audience, while some ancient puppet dramas with special effects of 50 cents each under the banner of Xian Xia dramas and fantasy dramas are very disturbing.

For example, Yulong, which was "black and red" by the whole network some time ago, had such a good love story and was supported by a large group of fans of original IP. However, due to the special effects of online games and Dylan's "wooden head" acting skills, word of mouth fell to the bottom, and the ratings broke through 10,000, turning a work that the audience expected into a joke.

Perhaps because of the "shoddy" production, the director found that he still couldn't save too much money in this respect, so a big IP, big-budget epic fantasy drama and dust forever started shooting recently, and made special efforts in special effects. It is said that this is still an S-class film and television project with an investment of more than 400 million, which is full of ambitions.

Just listening to the name "dust of the ages", is it very atmospheric? Adapted from the ancient style of star zero's literature in Jinjiang, fantasy novel's Ancient Times tells the story that the true god and Bai Jue were robbed in the three realms of man, god and demon, and finally found their true love. The background of the original work is particularly grand, and a grand story similar to The Story of Hai Mu Yun is constructed.

Little friends who love watching dramas know that in recent years, the situation of domestic Xianxia dramas is not optimistic. After the "Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man" series, there is no "masterpiece" with comparable reputation and popularity. On the contrary, more and more "bad movies" have been spit out by the whole network, such as "The Dust of the Past", an ambitious "epic masterpiece", with large orders.

As far as the production team is concerned, "The Dust Settles" is not lost to to the sky kingdom at all. First of all, it is worth mentioning that it is said that there are eight teams working hard to make special effects, and the scene texture in the play is not even lost to the beautiful games made by Netease.

The three worlds depicted in the play are all extremely high-level 3D modeling, and even insiders will be amazed. Aside from other things, at least "A Dust Through the Ages" has indeed achieved the peak of Xianxia drama in recent years and even in history.

After all, there is an investment of 400 million. In addition to sufficient funds to build a beautiful scene that people want to take screenshots as the background, the eternal dust is also full of sincerity in service. For example, in indoor scenes, the lens is exposed to classical furniture and electrical appliances.

Like some magnificent and quaint temples, thrones and sacred halls, the details can be seen to have been carefully polished, which makes them look weather-beaten and very historical, unlike some cheap scenery in Xian Xia's plays with a small budget, where everything is brand-new and even smells of paint.

In terms of fighting special effects, the production level of Dust of the Millennium can also be said to be far beyond the domestic Xianxia drama. It is also a fairy fight, but also to highlight the superb skills and high mana. The method used in the Imperial Dragon is to make the male master stand still, then stun all enemies according to the "50 special effects", and then "ascend to heaven" in the same place.

The dust of the ages is much more pleasing to the eye When the hero Bai Jun and other ancient immortals gather to summon the magic circle, the mysterious special effects combined with the whistling wind make people blink and feel that a big war is coming in the world of "Marvel Comics". These massive fighting special effects also greatly enrich the visual effect.

But these are all the advantages of the novel, that is, the only advantage of this TV series is special effects, but it can't be sold. This is the unanimous evaluation of all the audience who have seen the play. In addition to special effects, the novel deserves a big "1 star" in casting, acting and plot.

The first is the most ruthless casting. The heroine of A Dust Through the Ages is Zhou Dongyu, a new "winner" who proves her strength through the big screen. We can't say that her acting skills are not good, because she won several awards, but it can be proved through this TV series that she is really not suitable to co-star in costume dramas.

"A Dust Through the Ages" is also the first time that Zhou Dongyu appeared in an ancient fantasy TV series. Still provoked the heroine's girder and starred in "the first of the four true gods." In ancient times, there were many voices of doubt, especially after seeing her make-up photos, Zhou Dongyu, who played a youth film, looked pure and beautiful, and was small, which seemed to give people a desire for protection.

However, when she put on fairy clothes and dressed up as a fairy with full classical charm, she suddenly collapsed because she didn't have that kind of antique temperament at all. In a word, Zhou Dongyu is not suitable for ancient costume. Liu Yifei is a beauty with this classical charm. She feels like a "fairy sister" without wearing ancient costume. Although Zhou Dongyu is beautiful, it is obviously not "classical beauty".

In the play, Zhou Dongyu's modeling tends to be simple, with simple clothes, simple style, and simple headdress and makeup. The whole person looks "pale", his figure and face are too thin to support this "immortal" identity, and he doesn't look immortal. He feels very weak when fighting.

Zhou Dongyu doesn't have the appearance and temperament of a fairy, at least the service can keep up and give her a more amazing shape. I don't know what I think of A Dust Through the Ages, but I also asked Jenny to play Zhou Dongyu's maid. One is the "head of the four true gods", and the other is just a servant girl, but no matter from the stills or dynamics, Jenny's state has already killed Zhou Dongyu.

Moreover, the maid played by Jenny is more exquisite and gorgeous than Zhou Dongyu in dress and makeup, and Jenny herself has more classical beauty. The tear mole in the corner of her eye is very charming, and with such gorgeous clothes that can set off her temperament, she simply beat the heroine played by Zhou Dongyu.

In addition to Zhou Dongyu's heroine being spit out by netizens, her acting skills with Soso are also quite problematic. Zhou Dongyu's performance on the big screen is actually remarkable. Except July and An Sheng, her performances in Love with Hawthorn Tree and Better Days are all very good, except that she overturned on the small screen.

The advantage of the big screen is that the audience can feel the immersion of the plot and the characters' hearts, and even a small expression change on the actor's face is easy to be caught. So Zhou Dongyu can play a three-dimensional role as long as he grasps the details, but the TV series is different. The TV series is long and the audience's attention is not so concentrated. More importantly, he needs an expressive force that can leave a deep impression on people.

Obviously, Zhou Dongyu, who doesn't adapt to this, gives the impression that she is a "script" in "A Dust Through the Ages", that is, she plays whatever the script says, making her shake her head when she is naughty and silence when she is thinking deeply. At first, before the ancient awakening, she was a reckless girl who liked to play around and stripped off the "head of the true god"

In addition, the hero Soso can't escape the fate of being spit out "poker face". As a young student with a certain flow and popularity, Xu Kai recently broadcast a large-scale ancient puppet show "Singing Folk Songs". As a result, because the actor's personality is too unpleasant, not only is there no fire, but even his popularity has declined, and his acting skills have also declined in "A Dust Through the Ages".

However, his style is much better than Zhou Dongyu's. Zhou Dongyu is a high-profile literary heroine on the big screen. When it comes to Xian Xia Opera, it becomes "it's better to be a maid than a maid". The eternal dust can only be really not suitable for her. In addition, if the audience just wants to see good special effects, it's actually good to watch this drama.
