Adapted from Yu Wei's best-selling novel of the same name, the play tells the story of Ye Liuxi (Nini), who is brave but mysterious, and Dong Chang (Bai), a rough guide who is calm and alert and retires from the Jianghu. In order to explore the mystery of his life experience and clarify his past wishes, he set up an expedition to go deep into the desert hand in hand, uncover the truth step by step, and learn the story of true love in life and death tests again and again.
"West Out of Yumen" made the adventure drama finally jump out of the tomb-robbing school.
Recently, the adventure drama Out of Yumen in the West, which was adapted from Yu Wei's novel of the same name and starred by Nini and White, was broadcast, with a good reputation. For a long time in the past, the theme of fantasy adventure was considered to be exclusive to men, and Muye Zhang's ghost blowing lamp and Nanpai's uncle's grave-robbing notes became heroes in this field.
Not only do novels sell tens of millions, but these two IPS have also been frequently adapted into film and television works. "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Notes on Grave Robbery" coincide, taking "Grave Robbery" as the exploration method and taking the fantastic ancient tomb space and adventure as the selling points, so that the audience can escape from the secular daily life in a short time.
The appearance and popularity of Tailfish broke the audience's stereotype of female frequency (short for female channel of online literature website, which refers to online novels read by most girls), and expanded the content, theme and expression space of female frequency-exploration has never been exclusive to men, and women are not just foil in exploration.
Tailfish's creation jumped out of the popular framework of "tomb-robbing", enriched the expression and imagination of the exploration theme, highlighted the dominant position of female explorers, and fully publicized female consciousness. Adventure stories must go out of the ordinary routine in order to take the audience out of the ordinary reality.
