Director Zhang's ink landscape looks a bit dull this time, the color is too uniform but it is too deliberate, the color looks a little tired, but the whole is still beautiful, whether it is the landscape or the wide sleeves, or the continuous rain and Pei umbrella.
There is nothing unexpected about the story itself, but fortunately, the filming is reasonable.
It doesn't matter who you are, what matters is where you sit? Who is the pawn and who is playing the game? When you sit in the right position, it doesn't matter whether you are the Lord or the Shadow, whoever sits in that position may be the same. The so-called butt determines the head.
In the performance, Deng Chao was very amazing, beyond my expectations. To be honest, although Xin Xiaofeng is already very good in "Burning Sun", there is still a feeling of unsmoothness, and in "Shadow", the madness of the governor is very eye-catching. The governor's thin body (the morbid state created by Deng Chao's weight loss of 40 pounds is very important), coupled with his desire for desire, formed a tension-filled contrast with Jingzhou's sturdy body in the early stage and the romantic romance of the moon.
The governor was weakened by his injuries, so much so that he planned a gamble to win by his shadow. However, "you are more like the governor than the governor", the existence of the shadow is like his past, and it may even become a future that he can't get, contemptuous, jealous, dismissive, crazy, Deng Chao has shown the horror and sadness of this character vividly.
Sun Li's Xiao Ai is a more functional heroine. When it's time to be gentle, kind and considerate, when it's time to think carefully, when she's extremely frightened, she gives an appropriate response. However, the performance is too stereotyped, not as good as Zhen Huan. Well done...it's a pity.
Zheng Kai's Wang is also very interesting. He looks stupid, but in fact he has his own ambitions. He plays the protagonist who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
The Yang family father and son played by Hu Jun and Wu Lei don't have much space, but after thinking about it, the general who has just arrived in Yang's Yang family gun can't find a more suitable candidate than his brother. The sons Yang Ping and Guan Xiaotong play The eldest princess could have been a cp who loved and killed each other very well, but Guan Xiaotong's acting skills were still too rigid. When he accepted the dagger, he didn't even have the slightest wavering in his eyes, so that his sudden appearance on the battlefield seemed unreasonable...
Wang Qianyuan and Wang Jingchun's roles are too few, and they can't play much.
Overall it's still worth a look.
