The new "The Deer and the Cauldron" has only 2.8 points on Douban. Netizens: Wei Xiaobao acts like a monkey

Zhang Yishan's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" officially aired last night. Douban currently has a score of only 2.8 points. More than 75% of the audience gave it a 1-star rating, while less than 1% gave it a 5-star rating.

In comparison, the 1998 Chen Xiaochun version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" has a Douban score of 8.8 points, with 51.7% of the ratings being 5 stars and 37.6% being 4 stars.

Douban netizens commented that Zhang Yishan overacted in the play and his acting was too exaggerated . Some even said, "In Zhang Yishan's eyes, is Wei Xiaobao a mad monkey?" "Zhang Yishan eating cakes is exactly the same as Sun Wukong stealing food when he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace!"

In addition, the adaptation of the original novel and the editing rhythm of the drama have also been criticized. "In 5 minutes, Wei Xiaobao entered the capital, in 15 minutes, Eunuch Hai went blind, and in 25 minutes, Wei Xiaobao and Emperor Kangxi recognized each other... At this speed, the ending can be completed in 10 episodes, and the plot cannot be cut to the point of skipping the show."

It is understood that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is produced by New Classics Media Group Co., Ltd., adapted from Jin Yong's novel of the same name, directed by Ma Jin and written by Shen Jie. It has a total of 49 episodes, each 45 minutes long.

In addition to Zhang Yishan who plays Wei Xiaobao, other main actors include Tang Yixin (Princess Jianning), Yang Qiru (Shuang'er), Guo Yang (Ake), Guan Xin (Mu Jianping), Wang Zhixuan (Fang Yi), Zhong Lili (Zeng Rou), Zhu Zhu (Su Quan), etc.
