On November 9, the TV series "Love at First Sight" was launched on Youku in multiple episodes, opening the premiere mode. Starring Chen Xingxu, Zhang Jingyi and many other popular stars, this TV series tells the story of the fight between warlords during the Republic of China. In terms of narrative attitude, this TV series can be described as a serious face. At the narrative level, this TV series resembles a child's home. Therefore, in the process of watching this TV series, the old editors can't help but laugh secretly - such a TV series of the great scuffle between the warlords of the Republic of China has become a funny drama because of the lack of narrative level.
After watching many episodes of "Love at First Sight", there are too many slots. For example, the problem of the male protagonist's inconsistent personality will inevitably allow many viewers to make a mocking smile for the screenwriter. Let's illustrate this. In the first episode, a beautiful young woman and the male protagonist are messing around on a steamship. Later, this young woman will steal the man's box. The male protagonist's eyebrows did not blink, and he directly killed this young woman. In the plot, this action is really crisp and clean. Once people doubted, is the male protagonist a bloodthirsty demon? Is it a professional agent?
However, later in the plot, the audience began to laugh secretly. The heroine played by Zhang Jingyi just bumped into this scene where the male protagonist killed people. According to the male protagonist's "one move to kill" persona, the next second, it should be the heroine's death. But who knows, the male protagonist actually pitied Xiang Xiang and cherished the jade, and also pressed the heroine under her body to deliberately do some sweet pet discharge. What makes people laugh is that this kind of male protagonist pressing the female protagonist's stem was used twice in the first episode. What honey did the screenwriter eat? Want to kill your audience? Or do you not look at the aesthetic intelligence of the audience?
One second it was killing people without blinking, the next second, it was so indecisive. This is a typical male protagonist setting up a split. From the beginning of the plot, "Love at First Sight" has allowed the audience to see clearly the narrative level of the play, that is, the typical idea is a play, and there is no unified character at all. Anyway, when the male protagonist meets the female protagonist, he can pity Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade, no matter how fierce he is in front of him. As a result, it was out to take the heroine back to the hotel, lock the heroine on the bed and so on. To tell a joke, only children can have such an imagination.
"Love at First Sight" actually has a lot of slots. For another example, the plot of the line out of the line, there is no line, the preface does not match the afterword. Let's illustrate this. In the first episode, it revolves around a chest. After the heroine escapes, she takes with her the chest with the city defense map. Obviously, that map of the city's defense is very critical. However, in the subsequent plot, the importance of the city defense map is completely absent. In the absence of a city defense map, the male protagonist's side still succeeded in the "mutiny". Since there is no city defense map, it is still successful, so why bring the city defense map back from afar.
Even later, the female protagonist and the male partner of his own team, since he has already obtained the other party's city defense map, should be prepared. But who knows, this side shouted for half a day this plot, so that the audience feels that the heroine's side is going to fight back with her friends, however, immediately came a group of female protagonists who were wrapped in dumplings by the male protagonist. Since the content of the city defense map is not used, why should it be shouted in the way of the plot for half a day? In the creation of the script, the release line has been completed, but there is no ability to close the line. Such a script is really not good.
Similar grooves are pitched in "Love at First Sight". On the whole, this is just an idol drama under the banner of the warlords of the Republic of China. In the play, basically all young men and women, dressed up in a modern way, are eager to comb their hair with two pounds of oil. Especially the various male protagonists, in the play, the appearance is really not like any warlord young master, but like the waiter in the nightlife place who specially serves tea and pours water to female customers in the drinking place. This pursuit of the temperament of idol dramas has caused the entire TV series to make no effort in narrative logic and character IQ.
Based on the playful nature of the script, there is no way to talk about the performance of the actors. Why is there no way to talk about it? Because for the actor, on the surface, it is a line, but what really needs to be performed is the subtext part of the script. Works such as "Love at First Sight" have no awareness of creating subtexts in the script, so how do the actors perform? Fortunately, idol dramas don't need any acting skills at all, just play a handsome act.
Or talk about Zhang Jingyi. In other works, the acting tension shown by this young actress is still good. However, in this "Love at First Sight", her way of receiving the performance is obviously a loss. The watchability of the role itself is not high, and the actor will be even less colorful if he takes the role. Zhang Jingyi tried to play the inner heart of the character, but at the script level, does this heroine have an inner drama? In this way, on the contrary, Zhang Jingyi seems to be out of place in the play. The Republic of China idol drama, in terms of performance, must be the kind of yelling of Qiong Yao opera. Otherwise, it will be even more dry and weak. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
