"New Border Town Prodigal" Film Review

To be honest, this drama just borrowed the gimmicks of "Fu Hongxue" and "Ye Kai" from Gu Long's novels. The details of the entire drama were not handled properly. The characters' emotions were excessive and unnatural, and the plot was not delicate enough. After watching it, people always feel... Something is wrong, even confusing (PS: maybe I watched the abridged version, or maybe "Scissorhands" showed no mercy). However, the production side is still remarkable in terms of casting. Not to mention Zhang Xinyu, the "topic queen", Qiu Xinzhi and Jiao Enjun are also veteran actors, and Yu Qingbin and Zhu Yilong are also relatively well-known actors. Overall, Overall, the cast is quite impressive.

?Personally, I don’t like Ding Linglin played by Gongmi. I always feel that the cleverness in her performance is a bit artificial. It looks like she is deliberately pretending, although it is He's acting, but it's just uncomfortable to watch. Although many people talk about Zhang Xinyu in real life, and there are many personal opinions about her, but speaking purely as an actor, she did not act badly in the play. Although her acting skills are indeed poor, it is not without merit. Maybe it's because her character design was chosen well. Anyway, the character "Ma Fang Ling" is not annoying, and makes people think she is quite pitiful.

The plot of "New Border Town Prodigal Son" is very different from the original work. It can be said that it has been drastically transformed. The first is the identity of Ye Kai and Fu Hongxue. The eldest princess of the demon sect, Hua Baifeng, didn't know Ye Kai's life experience. Ye Kai was actually her real son. During the massacre at Meihua Temple, Xiao Li Feidao Li Xunhuan, who later became Ye Kai's master, took advantage of Hua Baifeng's coma. Lost the package. The original work is that Ye Kai was taken away by Bai Baiyu's first wife.

In the original work, Hua Baifeng did not die in the end, she just became an old woman. Ding Baiyun did not die in the original work, but in the adapted version, Ding Baiyun died. The finale of "New Border Town Prodigal Son" is a tragedy. Lu Xiaojia died, Ma Fangling died, Cuilong died, Hua Hanyi died, Hua Baifeng died, and finally only Fu Hongxue, Ding Linglin and Ye Kai were left. Gu Long is still not as ruthless as the screenwriter of "New Border Town Prodigal Son". In the original work, Lu Xiaojia did not die and was saved by his master Jing Wuming.

Although I am not a fan of the original work, most people who have watched the show will feel this way and will naturally compare the plot with the original work.

?The relationship between the characters in this drama is very complicated, and the emotional lines are constantly being cut and confused. But after sorting it out, it's still very clear.

?

Fu Hongxue was in love with Cuinong, it could only be regarded as love, but the two eventually separated. While Fu Hongxue was in love with Cuinong, she still had Ma Fangling in her heart. When Fu Hongxue and Ma Fangling separated due to misunderstanding, Cuinong's company just made up for Fu Hongxue's vulnerability at this moment. When Fu Hongxue learned about his life experience and that Ma Fangling was pregnant, his feelings were complicated. He felt pity, love, and guilt for Ma Fangling. Many times, men cannot distinguish between sympathy and love. Fu Hongxue was also tolerant of guilt in his feelings for Cui Nong. Cui Nong sacrificed her life to save her twice. Although he mistakenly thought she was dead in the end, with Cui Nong's death, his feelings of guilt took over and love also followed. It became faded. Moreover, there was a misunderstanding between Fu Hongxue and Cui Nong from the beginning. When Fu Hongxue had a snake venom attack in the stable, a woman helped him detoxify him. He mistakenly thought Cui Nong was that woman. In fact, that person was Mo Azhuo, Ma Kongqun’s current employer. Mrs. Shen Sanniang. Fu Hongxue already had unique feelings for Ma Fangling. Coupled with his later guilt and the feelings the two had for getting along day and night, Fu Hongxue had already fallen in love with Ma Fangling.

In the original work, it is said that Ye Kai loves Ma Fangling, but after the adaptation, Ye Kai’s emotional line is very pure, that is, he and Ding Linglin. In the play, Ye Kai is just a pure friend to Ma Fangling. emotion. And after the adaptation, Lu Xiaojia likes Ma Fangling instead of Ding Linglin. And Ding Linglin is his sister, purely following the family line.

?

Hua Hanyi has always liked Cuinong, and Cuinong likes Fu Hongxue.

Gongsun Duan likes Ma Fangling. In the original work, Gongsun Duan likes Shen Sanniang. Yuan Qingfeng and Ding Yunhe both like Ma Fangling. Shen Sanniang's hatred for Ma Kongqun turned into love, and she eventually died for love. However, this detail was not handled well. Although Ma Kongqun pretended to be crazy and acting stupid at the time, he did not show anything when the woman he loved died. It was not until later that he stopped pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. After that, he didn't say anything to Shen Sanniang, which was unreasonable. Shen Sanniang was the only person he relied on when he was in trouble. He suddenly died and he had no reaction, which was very abnormal.

?Although the plot is clichéd and the special effects are terrible, the ending is quite touching. First, there was the family relationship between Lu Xiaojia and Ding Linglin, then there was the family relationship between Hua Baifeng and Ye Kai, Fu Hongxue, and the love between Fu Hongxue and Ma Fangling. They were just like a pair of fateful mandarin ducks. After so many hardships, in the end they were separated forever.

? Ma Fangling, Fu Hongxue, and Cuinong are the most pitiful people in the whole drama.

Ma Fangling lost almost everything for the so-called hatred, including her aunt Shen Sanniang who loved her, Gongsun Duan who was always protecting her like a brother, and even Jin Yi from Wanma Hall Yu Shi, in the end, her father was in vain. Although her father did countless evil things, he always only thought about his daughter and really cared about her. In the end, her sister Cuinong died in her own hands. At this time, she was completely controlled by the Sutra of Life and Death, and she almost killed Fu Hongxue by mistake. She also lost her child with Fu Hongxue, and even lost her fertility due to miscarriage. In the end, he was forced by Hua Hanyi to practice the Sutra of Life and Death, which led to him being controlled by the Sutra of Life and Death and becoming a puppet of the demon sect. In the end, he was trapped at the bottom of the lake, separated from Fu Hongxue forever.

?

Fu Hongxue was raised by his mother, Hua Baifeng, as a tool of revenge when he was born. He practiced Demonic Kung Fu and had to suffer from the attack of Red Shadow Snake Venom. Because of the Wanmatang Rebellion, his leg was injured and he became a lame. In the end, Ye Kai told him about his life experience. He and Ma Fangling's child, whom he had never known about, disappeared in front of him before he could digest the news. Later, he was used as a spearman by Ma Kongqun and Hua Hanyi and almost died. In the end, he was almost killed by Ma Fangling, who had zombie memories.

Cui Nong has lived for five years as a spy of Wanmatang, and has been misunderstood by her sister Ma Fangling. He was sincere to Fu Hongxue, but had to restrain his feelings. He saved Fu Hongxue from danger several times, but finally died trying to save Fu Hongxue.

? In short, the whole drama is not too shocking, but the plot is too lengthy, the details are not enough, and the emotions of the characters are not handled appropriately. . . . . .
