Episode: "Female Psychologist"
Recommended index: 2.5 stars
One sentence comment: personal perception - mixed feelings, new attempts can be, but the scale should be grasped.
As we all know, "Female Psychologist" is based on Bi Shumin's novel of the same name. In 2018, after Yule Pictures officially announced that it won the IP film and television adaptation rights, it was hotly discussed. At that time, Bi Shumin and Dong Qing, a famous program host of CCTV, also appeared at the press conference to support, and Bi Shumin personally took the stage to express her expectations and blessings for the adaptation of "Female Psychologist".
After the official drama "Female Psychologist" was played by Yang Zi and Jing Bairan, the expectations of the outside world for this drama can be seen. The play tells the story of the psychological counselor Horton who, after a great change in his career, founded an independent psychological counseling room, and in one client case after another, Horton stripped away the cocoon, dug out the earth-shattering secrets from behind a mysterious file given by his mentor, and prevented the tragedy with the help of his partners. (by Baidu Encyclopedia official profile).
Entertainment sir was invited to participate in the actual look and feel after watching the film in advance on the weekend, the overall style of the series is very "Covinley", the creator of the director + editing as one, it can be said that the "Female Psychologist" under her lens, from shooting, editing to the plot development of the previous episodes, is undoubtedly a bold attempt. In other words, it is not the same as the existing narrative logic of domestic dramas, and I hope that the audience can stick to it. How to say it? "Female Psychologist" is not short of popularity, but word of mouth may show a polarized development.
From a figurative point of view, the cases in which Li Meng, Zhang Yao and other powerful actors participated are closely related to social issues: psychological problems such as postpartum depression and original family, which deserve attention. Yang Zi's Role of Horton this time is a subversive challenge in her career, and the Sunshine Boy Qian Kaiyi interpreted by Jing Bairan forms a great contrast, will it stage a redemption love? Start airing tomorrow night, unlock it yourself.
Episode: "Heartbeat in Love"
Recommended index: 3 stars
One Sentence Review: Mary Sue Vs Anti-Mary Sue? Almost gave me a whole mess.
"Heartbeat in Love" is directed by An Dong and starring Su Xiaotong, Zuo Linjie, Zhao Shuai and so on. 8-10 minutes an episode, a funny instant noodle fan with a different flavor.
Although it is still a Mary Sue love drama in essence, if you look closely, this is a Mary Sue vs anti-Mary Sue comedy. The male protagonist is because of the childhood trauma of the external cold and internal heat of the torn male school bully, as well as even number obsessive-compulsive disorder (aside from acting skills, Zuo Linjie is quite in line with the male protagonist's comic appearance); the female protagonist is proficient in eighteen Chinese words from the book to the real world of silly white sweet, in the play line: probably a new head. The supporting roles include a student sister with a funny northeast accent, a school green tea student, a male second who killed Matt, etc., and thunder and earth but on top.
Form, character setting, plot logic, under the mediocre shell and can always find a point to see, who read not to say a word: this brain hole, a little thing. Some people came into the pit because of the male protagonist Zuo Linjie's face, some people came because of Su Xiaotong's filter when "Royal Gifts of Little Servants", and finally chased the drama "Heartbeat Love" in the same way, focusing on a 10-minute episode, it doesn't look tired, and it will really be laughed at by the lines inside. (PS: If the drama is absurd, you can take a look at it. ）
Episode: "When the Night Rises"
Recommended index: 3.5 stars
One sentence review: also known as "Zhang Yuxi's white-collar wardrobe"
You never know when you're going to suddenly get on top of the little sweet drama. In one sentence, the plot of "When the Night Rises" is: As the president of the adult, what should I do if I suddenly fall in love with my brother's fiancée!
There are too many elements, executive literature plus a sense of taboo, and the taste of ancient romance has come! Although there are many elements, the relationship between the two is gradual. For the female protagonist, on the one hand, it is the boyfriend who is emotionally stable but cheated before marriage, on the other hand, the male protagonist is gradually feeling love, and on the other hand, it is difficult to cut the mess quickly and it is difficult to give up the feelings that are too high to sink. For the male protagonist, from the initial misunderstanding, to the appreciation of work ability, and then gradually produce feelings.
Adult love affair coupled with high-value carnival, the overall picture is very pleasing to the eye, coupled with the adult love push and pull in the plot, BG lovers do not miss! The male and female protagonists cooperate in modern dramas after "Liu Li", as if the CP of Mei La Lang in "Liu Li" shines into reality. At present, it is updated to 16 episodes, and the heroine of the workplace has changed more than 27 sets of professional clothes, although she is the director of operations, she has the meaning of a fashion director.
Episode: "The Housewife"
One-sentence comment: The starting point for the second spring of the middle-aged actress's re-engineering career is good, but the plot cannot escape the male-centered female group portraits that always have a distance from the female audience, and the housewife still has to be able to be the master of the house in order to make the word of mouth stand up.
Variety: Different stages for male group portraits
Program: "Chase the Light"
One sentence comment: less Jin Jie, no inner taste.
With the "Thorny Brother" in front, the challenges faced by the "Chasing the Light" season are indeed a bit big, and the lessons of the first season have been learned, and the brothers in this season have been quite successful in "going to the oil". Probably because of the reason for the star, the program team worked overtime to cut off the part of Jin Jie, to know that Jin Jie is with the audience's mouth on the program, less Jin Jie, in this aspect of the spit is indeed less of the inner taste.
In terms of choreography and kimono, "Chasing the Light" should also be long-hearted, the stage layout is not very colorful, and the editing is a bit fragmented, which can be learned from the friendly stage. In terms of lineup, the brother of the Greater Bay Area is still a bit popular, and Zhang Weijian and Wu Zhenyu are still worth looking forward to. Overall, the first program is not a big splash, and the key publicity works are actually Chinese songs sung by Ni Kun, are our local brothers not worthy?
However, the "brother" series is also a variety show of the cultivation system after all, maybe everyone looks at it and looks at it, and then shouts at the brothers: Mother loves you! （bushi）
Show: "Hahahaha" season two
One sentence comment: As long as I am not embarrassed, it is the audience that is embarrassed.
Maybe the final destination of most variety shows will be "Art Life", "Hahahaha" The second season has just started to sensationalize, and good variety shows do not cry a few times, and they are embarrassed to say that they are slow variety shows.
This season, several guests should feel the traditional culture, listen to the "sour, sweet and bitter" of ordinary people in the form of "one side and one story", and experience the taste of life. At a glance at this rhetoric, sensationalism is not far away. The first episode (part 1) is 30% about feelings and sensationalism, and the first period (part 2) is even more excessive, and 80% is about sensational stories. Funny has become a foil, and sensationalism has become the main body.
In terms of lineup, Lu Han, Chen He, and Deng Chao are still "awkward" players, and people who like them feel that this is the peak of the variety show industry, and most passers-by may feel embarrassed from head to toe. Peng Peng, as a new guest, is still slightly more restrained than the mushroom house, and Guo Jingfei has successfully joined the team of "awkward" players.
Anyway, the variety show is like this, as long as the guests are not embarrassed, the embarrassment must be the audience.
Movies: Those familiar stories
Movie: "Railway Hero"
One sentence comment: Play the beloved earth pipa again
The five words "railway guerrilla" are all too familiar.
Since the advent of the "Railway Guerrilla" novel in 1953, in the past 60 years, the number of film, television dramas and operas created with the theme of railway guerrillas has far exceeded that of other themes. The episode "Playing My Beloved Earth Pipa" in the 1956 film of the same name was even more popular.
So, when the cinema remembers such music again, it seems to be able to return to that cold and hot time. According to the director, "Railway Hero" is based on the deeds of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, restoring the history of the Lunan Railway Team in that year, and a pure original work. Regarding the railway war, perhaps the audience is too familiar with it. Although the actor's acting skills, art design, setting, and costume are very online, Zhang Hanyu has once again expanded his hero group, and Fan Wei is the biggest surprise.
But without a strong narrative thread, three train grabs in the snow and ice are like three movies. The performance of the railway is not outstanding, and there is still a lack of satisfaction with the feelings of the "railway hero", although it can still be touched by the spirit of the revolutionary hero in the intermittent, but it is always occasionally interrupted by the plot advancement method that is not complex logic. After "Eight Hundred" and "Chosin Lake", the audience's requirements for the main theme war film may become higher and higher, and the main theme film is also different, but history is always touching.
Movie: Battle of Two Cities
Recommended index: 4 stars
With the end of last week's episode, the idea of League of Legends wanting to sell the game in other ways is well known. As the first guest of the "League of Legends Universe", "The Battle of Two Cities" can be said to have completed the historical fate beyond everyone's expectations.
The core issue of game cinematography has always been the trade-off between the public and the player to the content. During the first three episodes, entertainment SIR believed that its players were greater than the popularity, but with the update, it found itself being punched in the face.
As a film and television work, the production of "The Battle of Two Cities" is also mature, aside from the exaggerated music and picture elements, but from the plot and character shaping, the hero presented in "The Battle of Two Cities" is complex and three-dimensional, because the age, insight and personal experience of the characters are different, and the characters do not have faces. The twin-city setting also maps to the reality of the gap between rich and poor, and truly achieves both depth and entertainment under the free expression of the animation framework.
After 6 years of sharpening a sword, only 9 episodes of "Battle of Two Cities" as a pioneer to ensure the renewal of the second season, and the League of Legends universe has just begun.
