Carina Lau and Rulu’s new dramas are shocking! No wonder broadcasting a play is like being a thief.

Based on Zhang Ailing’s novel A Half-Life, the 48-episode drama The Origin of Love, starring Carina Lau, Rulu, Joseph Cheng and Guo Xiaodong, is another online drama that was launched only after the official announcement.

Before the broadcast, the title of the original "Half Life" was changed to "The Origin of Love", so some netizens commented that how to broadcast a drama is the same as being a thief, and it is said that it will be broadcast when the file is set, and there is no wind at all. It is also a name change, as if it is afraid of being recognized.

In recent years, it seems that Zhang Ailing’s IP adaptation has started again. There, Xu Anhua once again made Sandra and Eddie Peng Yuyan shoot The First Furnace Incense. Here, Half Life is also a classic novel by Zhang Ailing. The general content of the novel is that Gu’s sister lost her father in her early years, and her family life was maintained by her sister Manlu as a dancer. Later, in the rough, Manlu slipped into the abyss and became a prostitute, so she had to marry a married Zhu Hongcai. In order to keep his position, he failed to give birth to a daughter’s sister, so that his husband raped his sister and let her sister Man Zhen give birth to a son for her sister and brother-in-law. As a student, Man Zhen had her own marriage, and was at the mercy of her sister, so she finally married Zhu Hongcai. After many years, I reunited with my old lover, but there are new people around the old man. In short, this is a sad love story full of missed ones.

Take a look at the plot of this story, and then think about the faces of Carina Lau and Rulu. If we substitute these two actresses into these two roles, do we think it is really a bit shocking?

First of all, the age is not appropriate. As a classic IP of Zhang Ailing, this novel has been adapted into film and television many times before. In 1997, Anita Mui and Jacklyn Wu appeared in the film version, when they were 34 and 29 years old respectively; Angel and Ruby Lin were 28 and 26 when they appeared in the 2002 TV series. Aside from all the additional factors, the two versions are very consistent with the original settings in terms of age, regardless of the persuasion, the plot content and the actor’s acting skills.

This time, Carina Lau and Rulu, who play sister Manlu and sister Manzhen, are 52 and 34 years old respectively. My sister is even older than Anita Mui, who played her sister for the first time. It’s not that the audience has to care about the fact that the actress is older, but always feels that the character image should at least fit the role, which is a bit too much.

In addition, looking at the general plot of this story, the audience who have not read the novel can guess that this drama has a trace of bitterness. In the story, my sister and her lover can’t finally walk together, and my sister binds my sister out of her own self-interest and makes her sacrifice her life. At the climax of the story, my sister almost imprisoned my sister, and my sister couldn’t breathe, and she couldn’t see the light of day at all.

To be honest, many readers even feel a little scared when reading stories, and feel the suffocation of the old times. Imagine, in such a special era, two weak women who can’t even control their own destiny let Carina Lau and Rulu play, does it feel that something is wrong?

What is Carina Lau’s usual impression on the audience? Is absolutely one of the best big sister, Tony Leung Chiu Wai also solely by Carina Lau in charge. One of the few female stars who came out of Hong Kong in the 1990s is still all-powerful in the entertainment circle, that is, she has absolutely no choice in emotional intelligence. No matter what activities she attends on weekdays, she is definitely slay. Besides, in the past two years, the film and television dramas she has brought to everyone are also similar to the role of Wu Zetian. Now she has turned her head to play a sad woman who was teased by fate and finally had to embark on such a path. I really don’t know whether Carina Lau wants to challenge the audience or herself.

The other one, Rulu, who plays the younger sister of Man Zhen, a more weak female student, said by netizens that it was really shocking. How can we imagine that a woman who was originally full of amorous feelings and once played such a domineering role as Hua Fei was ravaged by a casual obscene man? What do you think of this? It’s like a family sister going to beat up Zhu Hongcai.

And really began to accept all this, the audience who formally followed the drama will find that Carina Lau still couldn’t resist the erosion of the years. His face obviously collapsed, his skin couldn’t bear the meat, and his decree lines were too heavy. With the girl’s style with double ponytails, it highlighted the shortcomings of his nostrils. And Rulu, once let her play a girl role with some innocence, pulls a bitter gourd face, and her sense of disobedience is too strong, even the audience who wants to see it can’t watch the play.

Don’t blame netizens for saying that the drama is like a thief. In order to cover up the shocking point, it is renamed and airborne. How can everyone dare to chase the drama? On-Moon Arc
