Once a "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance" repeatedly refreshed the ratings of CCTV TV series, and now the original team has launched a new work "Me and My Three Sisters", which is expected to be broadcast on the CCTV TV drama channel on November 18.
The same era drama, the same audience group, CCTV may usher in a new round of ratings climax.
"Me and My Three Sisters"
The TV series "Me and My Three Sisters" is still directed and written by Lin Heping, directed by Director Meng Liang, the story selects the characters and emotions of an ordinary family in the north, cuts from a small perspective, and tells a story of three sisters who happened next to him from the perspective of the fourth brother Han Aisong.
Among them, the actors Lin Jiachuan, Wang Hongmei, Ma Quan and Sun Shuang, who starred in "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance", played the fourth brother and eldest sister, second sister and third sister respectively in the play.
Hawthorn Trees in the Distance
The creative method of the play is also similar to "Mother Is Waiting for You" and "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance", which will show the great changes of the times in the northern small city with a family, and then bring out the background of social reform and elevate the theme.
The investment cost of this kind of period drama is low, the production cycle is short, but it is quite favored by CCTV and the audience, and it belongs to the "divine drama" physique.
Take the TV series "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance" as an example, its cost is only 3 million, and the domestic drama with hundreds of millions of investments is not at all in the same order of magnitude, but it can stand at the top of the star channel ratings list, and after the CCTV hit, it has obtained many local station orders, and the investor has "made a lot of money with small and broad".
Of course, the standard for measuring the quality of a domestic drama is not only the ratings.
Dramas such as "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance" have a commonality - dog blood, which reduces the quality of domestic dramas to a certain extent.
The word dog blood was initially used by netizens to evaluate Korean dramas, and now some domestic dramas have their essence, and dog blood dramas have flooded.
The Douban score of "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance" is only 3.6 points, which is lower than the average level of domestic dramas.
The male protagonist does not like the female second but does not refuse, marries the female number two and always thinks about other people's wives, that is, the female protagonist;
When the female protagonist encounters something, she immediately throws herself into the arms of the male second, and marries the male second, but after marriage, she still thinks about other people's husbands, that is, the male protagonist.
Of course, in order to promote the "finalization of the family" of the male and female protagonists, the screenwriter made up nonsense, and plots such as "derailment", "car accident" and "drunken disorder" joined in...
Looking at the whole play, you will find that the main story line is very vague, the logic is also very poor, and the audience is like watching a farce without nutrition, not to mention that it can get some deep understanding of love, friendship or family affection.
In addition, these works are usually cloaked in the main theme and positive energy, so as to pass the review of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television faster and have a better chance of appearing on mainstream platforms such as CCTV.
For example, "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance", although the whole story is about the marriage and love story of several protagonists, the main creator is very clever, putting the background of the story in the tide of reform and opening up, setting the protagonist as a pillar of the country such as scientists, entrepreneurs and grass-roots cadres rooted in the countryside, forcibly elevating the theme and meeting the requirements of the relevant audit departments.
Although this kind of period drama is suspected of "opportunism", the vast number of middle-aged and elderly audiences like it, they don't care about the actor's acting skills, whether the plot is bloody, and what they care about is the nostalgic era and the people and things in that era!
Therefore, CCTV goes with the trend, every once in a while on several similar small-cost dramas, there are ratings and stabilize the audience group, spend small money to do big things, why not enjoy it?
