In recent years, the attention of domestic workplace dramas has shown an upward trend, one after another of the domestic workplace dramas have been broadcast online, although it has attracted the attention of many people, but there is no shortage of explosive dramas, but the overall reputation is not very ideal, and even labeled as "bad dramas" and "exaggerated dramas", and domestic workplace dramas that are really called acclaimed and popular are rare.
Even so, this theme is still a hot topic on the screen, and it is also one of the themes that many producers and investors value very much. Just recently, the workplace drama "Win or Lose", directed by Zhang Li and starring Chen Kun and Xin Zhilei, landed on Zhejiang and Beijing David TV and was broadcast simultaneously on the three major video platforms.
However, after the show aired 8 episodes, the evaluation of netizens is not very friendly, the current evaluation on the Douban one-star, two-star astrology full of screen floating, the overall proportion is relatively high, from the plot to the actor performance, to the service and the line and other aspects have been almost spit over and over again, there is a sign of overturning.
The plot is a hard wound, and the old problems of the workplace drama are committed again
"Win or Lose" belongs to the theme of business war, focusing on the sales industry, in the new era of the Internet of Everything, in the two camps of "Southern Zhou Rui, North Luo Jia" in the business sea narrow road met, do not fight do not know, one is a technical man, one is the queen of sales, in just 8 episodes of content broadcast, the two for the audience staged a commercial confrontation.
From the perspective of the whole rhythm, the first feeling of this drama is "fast and conflicting", creating a tense atmosphere. But after watching these episodes carefully, you will find that this drama has exposed a lot of hard wounds in the plot, and it has made the old mistake of workplace dramas, and it is still very pompous to be ungrounded.
In the opening of the first episode, Zhou Rui (Chen Kun) 's subordinate Wang Yinan over-promised customers in order to sign orders, which brought a great risk of default to the company, which is also a taboo in the industry. So Zhou Rui fired Wang Yinan on the spot, but he was severely beaten by him, his head was bleeding, the scene was quite embarrassing, and Zhou Rui's entire image was also affected.
Originally, I thought that Zhou Rui would deal with the wounds and clothes first, after all, he would attend the signing ceremony next, and there were many media on the scene. But not only did he not treat the wound, he did not even properly tidy up his clothes, so he went straight to the scene of the signing ceremony, and the entire signing ceremony was not greatly affected, which was really incredible.
You know, there are many signing ceremonies at such a level in the play, and on such an important occasion, both parties to the contract attach great importance to the company's image and reputation, which Zhou Rui, as a director, does not know? And the scene also has to let the other party agree to the new conditions before being willing to sign the contract, such an operation makes people scratch their heads.
And in the O&T project, whether it is Zhou Rui or Luo Jia, both of them have done everything in their power to get this project, especially Zhou Rui, which is the first big project he took over after he was transferred to the Beijing headquarters, whether it is for himself or Jieke, the importance of this project is self-evident.
However, in the bidding link, people have to complain, Zhou Rui and Luo Jia two face to face singing, you quote a price, I quote a price, it feels like a vegetable market to buy vegetables, not standardized at all, not to mention that the O&T project is not a small project, but a hundred million-level large project, so casually singing the bid is obviously not in line with the norms. No wonder some netizens complained, please screenwriters to understand what is a pitch, too imprecise.
In fact, there are still many links in the play that cannot withstand careful scrutiny, such as the emotional line of the male and female protagonists progressing too fast, and their feelings have begun to heat up before they see the fierce competition between the two of them; and when the O&T logistics system fails, this part of the description is too thin, there is no great conflict point, such as the losses caused, various scenes and other scenes are not shown, but through their lines to express, let people feel the seriousness caused by this failure, so this paragraph does not seem to have too much waves.
The male protagonist exerts too much force, and the female protagonist always holds it
One of the biggest highlights in the play is undoubtedly the role of the male and female protagonists, although both belong to the famous sales experts, but the route they take is not the same, Zhou Rui, played by Chen Kun, belongs to the technical sales, has a flamboyant personality, and is bold in doing things; while Luo Jia, played by Xin Zhilei, is somewhat different, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, there are not many people talking harshly, and he is quite famous in the sales industry.
Only from the perspective of the episodes that have been broadcast, the performance of the two is not as good as imagined, and it must be admitted that both are very powerful actors, and in the past works, they have a very wonderful performance, and have also won the recognition of the industry and the audience. But for this play, their performance always feels a little awkward to watch.
Among them, Zhou Rui, played by Chen Kun, from the perspective of the characteristics of the role, Chen Kun does show Zhou Rui's bravado and courage at a glance, but if you look closely, you will find that Chen Kun's performance in the play is still a little too strong, although Chen Kun's lines are very solid, but his expression is too rich, one will squeeze the eyebrows, one will frown, it is easy to make people jump the play.
And Luo Jia, played by Xin Zhilei, does have a face and style, but from her performance in the play, I really can't see that she plays the role of sales, the aura is very sufficient, but it does not land, always holding, but it makes people think that she is more like Dong Su. And in the episodes that have been broadcast, the audience has not seen her strength, and this role is not as powerful as the official introduction, for example, when she discussed the plan with various departments, she thought that her ideas and views were very sharp and insightful, but after watching it, it was actually just like this, too superficial.
The audience who watched the play should also have a common feeling, that is, the emotional line of the male and female protagonists not only progressed too fast, but also a little too much, and some viewers were worried that this drama was not afraid of being a middle-aged love drama cloaked in the cloak of a workplace drama, right? This problem is also a problem that many workplace dramas are difficult to get rid of at present, and many workplace dramas that have been broadcast before have eventually become love dramas, so their reputation will naturally not be very high.
Judging from the current audience feedback, the current reputation of this drama should be very unsatisfactory, there are more bad reviews in the plot and the performance of some actors, especially in the plot, the spit is particularly obvious, the exaggerated plot directly dissuades the audience, this kind of hard injury is obviously Chen Kun Xin Zhilei These two major strength factions are also difficult to save, after all, they are also performed according to the script, so this kind of domestic pompous drama please don't shoot again, shoot more grounded good dramas.
