"Neither smoke nor cloud, but trailing purple light; "
"The halls and pavilions are adorned with dazzling ornaments and richly decorated."
"The Yue people are blessed with good fortune and auspicious omens."
"May your accumulated blessings and literary achievements be boundless..."
A powerful, majestic male voice, accompanied by melodious piano music, rises, instantly evoking a profound sense of epic grandeur. In a flash, Kona is transported to an era that blends magnificence and fantasy, boldness and gentleness!
Jade palaces and magnificent buildings, vermilion clouds beside the railings.
A majestic palace appears in the frame from bottom to top, with civil and military officials filing in one after another. The emperor, played by Wei Tianchi, stands atop the city tower, his gaze distant.
Immediately afterwards, the scene shifts to inside the gate, where a group of women kneel before the emperor—a scene of a collective investiture ceremony in the harem.
With several scenes flashing by, Kona was already getting excited!
Look at the texture, the weight, the aesthetics of the lens!
As expected of another masterpiece by Professor Xu Hanwen! It's incomparable to those cheap imitations by some Tom, Dick, and Harry!
Before the opening theme song finished playing, Kona quickly grabbed a plate and hurriedly filled it with sunflower seeds, dried fruit, chicken feet, potato chips, and other snacks, placing it on her bedside table so she could easily reach them.
Watching good dramas during the holidays is such a treat!
After the opening theme song finished playing, Kona sat down, holding a freshly peeled orange in her hand, its refreshing and sweet aroma lingering in her nostrils.
The words "Episode 1" appeared in large gold letters on the screen, and then a battlefield with golden swords and iron horses appeared on the screen!
Big production!
Shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the sounds of fighting filled the air; corpses littered the ground, and defeated horses neighed. A large black eagle flapped its wings and soared across the gray sky.
As expected of a grand opening to the year, such a production and scale immediately set it apart from those mediocre palace dramas.
Kona chewed on the sweet and sour orange with relish, and continued reading with great interest.
Film Emperor Wei Tianchi, clad in black armor, rode atop a black horse, his gaze sharp and piercing, leading his soldiers in a charge forward.
Grandpa Wei Tianchi is over fifty years old this year, but I didn't expect him to be so vigorous and still able to ride a horse. Kona thought with admiration.
The scene shifts to a man in white armor, covered in blood, wielding a silver spear, fighting fiercely among the enemy ranks.
Charge, hook, flick, stab—the man's marksmanship was fierce and powerful, his movements as agile as a startled dragon. The camera repeatedly focused on close-ups of his face, revealing a murderous glint in his eyes that sent chills down the spine.
Kona recognized the man in white at a glance. He was none other than Liao Li, the male lead of the drama, who played Zhu Xi, the most outstanding son of the old emperor and the fourth prince.
Before its premiere, "The Legend of Qingyun" had been trending on Weibo many times. Ke Na remembers that one of the trending topics mentioned that Liao Li had specially studied marksmanship for three months in order to play the role well.
Kona has tired of saying "a truly good drama".
Kona ate the orange segment by segment, eagerly awaiting the next part of the story.
Kona ate the orange segment by segment.
Kona ate it segment by segment.
Kona petals by petals...
Even after finishing the last segment of orange, Liao Li's fight scene was still going strong, with clanging sounds echoing throughout.
Admittedly, Liao Li's action scenes are very cool and pleasing to the eye. But nobody comes to watch TV series for full-on fighting; TV series are not movies, and they don't require the thrill of action scenes.
Kona couldn't resist picking up her phone, thinking for a moment, and then posted on Weibo: 【Liao Li's action scenes are so cool! 'The Legend of Qingyun' is such a high-quality production!】
After praising Liao Li, Ke Na picked up a bag of spicy chicken feet and started unpacking it.
The rustling of the packaging bags echoed the sounds of close combat on the screen, and Liao Li's fight scene ended just as the chicken feet were unpacked.
Kona munched on a chicken foot, her eyes glued to the screen.
The scene shifts, and a slender figure clad in red armor leaps into the battlefield on horseback!
