《长安十二时辰》，看完我就震惊了！

放荡不羁、棱角分明、演员阵容

用英语怎么说？

根据80后作家马伯庸小说

《长安十二时辰》改编的电视剧，

6月27日在优酷开播。

在紧张的西安反恐24小时中，

雷佳音饰演的死囚张小敬临危受命，

与易烊千玺饰演的天才少年李必，

携手追查恐怖分子，拯救长安。

这部剧情节精彩，细节考究，

成为暑期现象级神剧。

The Longest Day in Chang’an adopts one of the most in vogue TV genres – double detectives. Just like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the show has two protagonists with completely different characters.

One, an experienced and bohemian anti-hero detective who was recently released from prison and is aware of shady secrets behind the prosperity of his nation. Another is a prodigy with a historical prototype of a genius emperor’s counselor. 

The series, released on Youku, has received a rating of 8.6 on Chinese top rating website Douban.com, which is flooded with picky young film nerds.

It is safe to say a large number of young fans are drawn to the show by its exemplary cast, featuring Lei Jiayin, known for his role in the Chinese comedy “Guns and Roses,” and Jackson Yee, of Chinese boy band TFBoys.

Jackson Yee with his angular yet frosty facial features and temperament, is a perfect choice for the role of the prodigy emperor’s counselor. The actor, who was just 17 at the time of filming the TV series, already displays better acting skills than most pretty but dull faces in idol dramas. 

It is also worth mentioning that the author of the original novel has achieved huge success previously through several web shows including Mystery of Antiques. 

He once shared in a documentary about this show, “I think Chang’an is one of the most glamorous ancient cities in China. People from all over the world come and gather in this place. The greatest charm of this culture actually lies in the lives of ordinary people hidden under the prosperous facade.”

The Longest Day in Chang’an adopts one of the most in vogue（流行的） TV genres（类型） – double detectives. Just like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the show has two protagonists（主人公） with completely different characters.

《长安十二时辰》采用了电视剧中最流行的一种类型—侦探搭档。就像福尔摩斯和华生一样，这部剧有着两个性格完全不同的主角。

One, an experienced and bohemian（波希米亚的，放荡不羁的）anti-hero（非正统主角）  detective who was recently released from prison and is aware of shady（阴暗的，可疑的） secrets behind the prosperity of his nation. Another is a prodigy （奇才） with a historical prototype （原型） of a genius emperor’s counselor. 

其中一位侦探是经验丰富，放荡不羁的反面英雄。他刚刚从监狱中放出来，知道在国家繁华的背后，有着见不得人的秘密。另一位是有着历史原型的神童，是天才皇帝的顾问。

The series, released on Youku, has received a rating of 8.6 on Chinese top rating website Douban.com, which is flooded with（充满着）picky（挑剔的） young film nerds（呆子）.

在优酷播放的这部剧，在中国最好的评级网站豆瓣上的得分是8.6分。豆瓣上有着很多很挑剔的年轻电影迷。

It is safe to say a large number of young fans are drawn to the show by its exemplary cast （优秀的演员阵容）, featuring Lei Jiayin, known for his role in the Chinese comedy “Guns and Roses,” and Jackson Yee, of Chinese boy band TFBoys.

可以说，很多年轻粉丝是被出色的演员阵容吸引来看剧的。雷佳音以国产喜剧《黄金大劫案》中的角色而出名。易烊千玺来自中国男团TFBoys。

Jackson Yee with his angular（有棱角的） yet frosty （冷淡的） facial features and temperament （性情）, is a perfect choice for the role of the prodigy emperor’s counselor. The actor, who was just 17 at the time of filming the TV series, already displays better acting skills than most pretty but dull faces in idol dramas（偶像剧）. 

易烊千玺有着棱角分明，冷若冰霜的脸型和性格，非常适合演天才皇帝顾问的角色。在拍摄时，他只有17岁，但演技已经超越了偶像剧里那些长得漂亮，但表情呆滞的演员。

It is also worth mentioning（值得一提的是） that the author of the original novel has achieved huge success previously through several web shows including Mystery of Antiques. 

值得一提的是，小说原著的作者已经通过几部网剧，如《古董局中局》而大获成功。

He once shared in a documentary about this show, “I think Chang’an is one of the most glamorous （迷人的） ancient cities in China. People from all over the world come and gather in this place. The greatest charm of this culture actually lies in（在于） the lives of ordinary people hidden under the prosperous facade（表面，假象）.”

他在关于这部剧的纪录片中曾提到，“我觉得长安是中国最有魅力的一个古代城市。全世界的人都汇聚在这个地方。真正这种文化的魅力所在，就在于它文化表层下面所隐藏的这些普通老百姓的生活。（作者原话）”
