The costume romance drama "Jianghu Yeyu Ten Years of Lights" recently released its final trailer and will officially premiere at 12:00 on February 22. The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Caring for Zeluan, produced by Tencent Video and Xinguang Pictures, directed by Lu Hao Jiji, directed by Guo Feng, written by Shao Sihan, and starring Zhou Yiran and Bao Shangen. It tells the story of the young master of the Demon Cult, Mu Qingyan (played by Zhou Yiran), and the upright heroine Cai Zhao (played by Bao Shangen) who work together to uncover the grievances of the previous generation.
The "young man" who pursues the right path with his sword enters the game with his own body
When the young man's spirit collides with the world, a passionate transformation of good and evil begins. In the final trailer, the initial camp of the young hero couple Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao was outlined in a few words, instantly igniting the audience's expectations.
The young master of the Demon Sect, Mu Qingyan (played by Zhou Yiran), smashed the fig leaf of the righteous way with one sentence, "The righteous way always says to do justice for heaven, but what they call heaven has never tolerated the justice of the Mu family." His eyes showed dissatisfaction, unwillingness, and disbelief in fate, which cleared up the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years. And Cai Zhao (played by Bao Shang'en), who grew up under the Zheng sect, was once a firm believer in "those who act chivalrously and righteously should kill all those who belong to the demon sect". His energy as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers is just like a young man's purest persistence for justice. At that time, one of them was walking alone in the darkness, and the other was holding a sword in the light. They looked at each other from a distance across the vast ravines of the rivers and lakes.
People's minds are unpredictable and the truth is repeated. As the two experienced the baptism of the rivers and lakes, "Mumu Zhaozhao" discovered that the "dichotomy between good and evil" learned in his youth was far from enough to explain the world in front of him – the so-called right path may not always be bright; there are also people in the devil's sect who can be trusted. They don’t believe the lies passed down from generation to generation, and they don’t recognize the boundaries drawn by the camps. People are unpredictable? Then fight your way out. The truth is being concealed? Then split a ray of light. The young people chose not to follow blindly. They decided to overturn the card table of their fathers and carve out the word "righteous way" again with one sword and one sword.
Together, the group portraits open up the "atypical" world of rivers and lakes
In addition, what stands between Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao is not only the conflict of ideas, but also an old incident that happened more than 20 years ago – the death of Cai Zhao's aunt, which is inextricably linked to the Mu family. This past is like an invisible net, binding the two people to the larger world. The grievances of the older generation have not yet been resolved, and the game of the younger generation has begun.
Actors such as Yu Ka-shing, Fan Jingyi, Bian Tianyang, Duan Yu, Yan Yuchen, Yuan Wenkang, Li Yuan, Jing Chao, Lu Shan, Sheng Yilun, Wan Peng, Li Yunrui and other actors jointly outline a spectrum of characters in the world where good and evil are intertwined and intergenerational entanglements. Some people cling to old grudges, some try to break free from the shackles, some have been secretly plotting for years, and some just seek peace of mind in troubled times. Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao are involved in this. They are both pawns in the game between various forces. In the process of approaching the truth, they are gradually looking for their own way to break the situation.
Visually, the costumes in the play refer to the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with wide robes and wide sleeves, eliminating complexity and keeping it simple. The elegant and free-spirited style not only fits the characters' temperament in troubled times but still maintains their integrity, but also uses a cold and sparse aesthetic tone to reflect the spiritual background of young people who still retain a clear heart in the turbulent world. Just as the core of the drama expresses, when the external labels and constraints are stripped away layer by layer, and everyone no longer judges right and wrong based on their origins in the "Devil Cult" or the "Six Sects", then what is the real world? Perhaps the answer lies not in the admonitions of the elders, but in the way young people break out on their own.
The play will be broadcast on Tencent Video and iQiyi at 12 o'clock on February 22. What twists and turns will Mu Qingyan and Cai Zhao experience in their two-way journey to break through the identity barrier and overcome their old grudges? How many unresolved past events and human choices are buried under the camp of good and evil? Let us wait for the reveal of the series together.
