In 2017, the campus sweet drama "To Our Simple Little Beauty" was launched. The sweet and sadistic story between Chen Xiaoxi and Jiang Chen has made many viewers head-on and become a well-deserved hit. Hu Dayi and Shen Yue, the two leading actors, also ushered in the peak of their careers.
Two years later, the sister article "To Our Warm Little Time" swept the screen strongly. The background of the story changes from high school to college, and the relationship between Gu Weiyi and Situ Mo is not the old-fashioned "wrongdoers becoming lovers", but the throbbing and beautiful love of the day, and every sugar is just right.
Recently, the third work in this series, "To Our Sweet Little Happiness", has also been launched. The first two films are well-known in the front, so that the audience is full of expectations for this story. But unfortunately, there are many problems in the plot of "To Our Sweet Little Happiness", and the acting skills are difficult to let the audience enter the play, and it is difficult to become a hit.
The story takes place at Southern University.
Zhou Xiao, a freshman in the Chinese Department, went to the school to report that Zhao Fanzhou, a forensic science student, was waiting for the new students outside the station.
Because he was too engrossed in writing novels on the bus, Zhou Xiao sat on the station and asked Zhao Fanzhou to wait for an hour longer.
Only the first time they met, Zhou Xiao borrowed 100 yuan from Zhao Fanzhou because of the lack of power on his mobile phone, leaving a deep impression on Zhao Fanzhou.
The picture turns away and comes to the playground where military training is taking place. For violating discipline, Zhou Xiao and his friends were punished with push-ups, supervised by Zhao Fanzhou. After doing push-ups, Zhou Xiao revealed a smile that "the suffering is finally over", which made Zhao Panzhou very moved...
From the story point of view, "To Our Sweet Little Happiness" is very fast-paced. In only two episodes, Zhao Fanzhou has a good feeling for Zhou Xiao and puts it into action, especially for the audience who likes the sweet pet type drama.
When the dormitory raided the high-power electrical appliances, he saw Zhou Xiao throw the straight clip out of the window, but lied that he did not see it to help pass the pass. Knowing that Zhou Xiao likes detective novels and wants to start a detective agency, he uses the authority of the president of the student council to help her realize her wishes.
Find an excuse to let Zhou Xiao invite himself to dinner, sneak a smile to see the expression of the other party frowning because the meal money is too expensive, and finally take the initiative to pay. Carefully store Zhou Xiao's number in the mobile phone, full of careful machine call her to say, remember to note my number.
But the problem is that the sweetness of these plots is not so qualified: only romantic pictures, no emotions that resonate with the audience.
Zhao Fanzhou can have feelings for Zhou Xiao, but the speed of feelings is too fast. And in the early days of acquaintance, Zhou Xiao has been troubled by Zhao Fanzhou, and there is no opportunity to produce feelings.
Although the logic in the school sweet pet drama is not the most important thing, this inexplicable sweetness really makes people feel strange, like sugar for the sake of sugar.
Especially after the sugar in Episode 6, Zhao Fanzhou's sudden inner monologue: "As long as I am with you, even the childish game will become beautiful." The form floated on the surface, afraid that the audience would not know that Zhao Fanzhou liked Zhou Xiao. There is sweetness, but the effect is greatly reduced.
In "To Our Sweet Little Beauty", Zhou Xiao is played by Liu Renyu, who participated in "Creation Camp 101". With a large number of fans, she let the drama bring its own heat, and even the passers-by audience are full of expectations for her acting skills.
But contrary to expectations, Liu Renyu disappointed. Regardless of the mood, the performance style is a staring and hesitant tone of speech, showing a giddy temperament, which is not pleasing at all.
On the other side, Gong Jun, who plays the male protagonist Zhao Fanzhou, also has a big problem. When he showed that he liked Zhou Xiao, he looked down and smiled secretly, once making the audience feel Su, but two or three times was very uninteresting.
In addition to sneaking a smile, Zhao Fanzhou did not show other expressions with large range of actions in the episode, and he was truly paralyzed and his acting skills were very anxious.
In addition to sweetness and acting, there are many other shortcomings in the series.
For example, in the first episode, the annoying female second daughter went online and bullied Zhou Xiao, making the audience wonder: Is this still a sweet drama that does not need to use its brain?
In just 6 episodes, three pairs of CPs appear, and they want to shoot romantic love group portraits, but their ability to tell stories is not enough. The lens will cut this pair of cp, and one will cut that pair. There is not enough connection between the front and back shots to bring a sense of narrative chaos.
So here's the problem.
The sweetness and acting skills are not enough, and the narrative is messy. Is there any need for "To Our Sweet Little Mermaid" to go down?
The answer to this point is that when bored, it can be used to eat at double speed, but the quality is not comparable to the first two parts.
In the episode, pretending to be sick to hide from military training, the bridge section where the legs hurt so much that they can't stand up after the military training training are hilarious, the small friction with the dormitory life with the dormitory, and the happy party with the high school friends, these settings make the audience feel the resonance.
If you don't make any requirements for the logic of sugar, and only want to see the sweet love plot and the daily life of college, this drama can still be watched.
