The contemporary military drama "Ace Troop" broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV toped the V list TV series broadcast index TOP1; won the first place in the TV drama ratings of 63 cities for two consecutive days; reached the top of the cat's eye drama series heat index with a popularity value of 9,000 on two days; and the popularity value in the station exceeded 9,000 in 24 hours.
Starring Huang Jingyu, Xiao Zhan and Zhong Chuxi, the drama begins with the three protagonists Gong Gaoliang, Gu Yiye and Jiang Nanzheng enlisting in the same army in 1983, showing the history of China's strong army in the past four decades since the reform and opening up.
In the play, Gu Yiye, played by Xiao Zhan, is a high-ranking cadre, just as the so-called is to have a good look, to take responsibility, to set ambitions since childhood, to make meritorious achievements in the army. As soon as the episode opens, Gu Yiye shows his amazing observation by exposing the disguised chief of sorghum. A second before getting on the train, I was still holding a book in my hand and reading it tirelessly. In the development of the later plot, because of a war, Gu Yiye's old squad leader Zhang Fei unfortunately died, seeing this, Gu Yiye gave up his love, took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the old squad leader's wife and son, and married the old squad leader's rural wife Ah Xiu as his wife.
It is not difficult to see that the words and deeds and personality characteristics of this character have almost reached a perfect state.
However, this perfect human design does not seem to be necessarily popular.
The first is because the perfect persona may be too virginal and not easy to resonate with the average audience.
The character played by Xiao Zhan sacrificed his love, did not hesitate to marry the widow left by the squad leader, and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of their mother and son. Such an act is certainly touching, but it is a little bit of a virgin. Taking care of a mother and son does not necessarily mean having to marry her as a prerequisite. Perhaps this is indeed the best approach, but moral kidnapping makes it difficult for today's audiences to understand.
However, after all, this matter is an afterthought, and it is also very frightening for the audience to be able to see Gu Yiye's performance at present.
When the recruits were training, the others trained for twenty kilometers, and Gu Yiye ran thirty kilometers with weights. When others exercised, he doubled; when others rested, he persevered, and finally, achieved the first place in the comprehensive training of the whole platoon and the first in the ten-carton shooting of the whole company. This is really too good, so good that the ordinary audience feels as if it is a mountain to look up, he is enough to make the audience have a psychology of admiration, but it can never let us understand his state of mind.
Imagine what kind of psychological state we are when a child of another family is placed in front of us. Substituted into the perspective of other people in this drama, people like Gu Yiye are not desperately pushing the inner volume. Maybe his ambitions are grand, but the ordinary audience is "unblessed" in their hearts and eyes.
Secondly, it is to create such a role that will make Xiao Zhan's black powder start to jump again.
Two years have passed since the "227 incident" in 2020. For this reporting incident, it is still not erased in the minds of many netizens. How many years of hard work people have come out of the text, touch the pictures out of the fish, so that Xiao Zhan's fans are a pot of ends, and it is normal to be unwilling. As a result, to this day, a large number of people are clinging to Xiao Zhan.
One of the ways to bite tightly is to dig out Xiao Zhan's black material. The best ending, of course, is like the male stars who rolled over the car before, there is a woman who stands up and uses a thunder hammer to hammer him to the ground. Unfortunately, so far, he has only been turned over one, and the ordinary people have complained about Lena's improper use of words.
Therefore, when these people see Xiao Zhan playing such a great and honorable role again, they are consciously in a bad mood and difficult to let go.
In the end, it's such a perfect character that's too bland, losing a lot of points of conflict and missing places to argue about.
Looking at the popular film and television drama characters in recent years, it is not necessarily a good person who can be liked by everyone. Instead, viewers tend to prefer people who are more complex, more multifaceted, and even villainous.
For this, Xiao Zhan himself has also been involved in such benefits. The Wei WuXian he had shaped before was exactly this feeling, both right and evil, and everyone in the whole world regarded him as a demon, and only he himself knew what he had experienced. This character has twists and turns, growth, uneven encounters, and many small problems, but he still can't stop it, and many viewers love him.
It is often said that words do not like the mountains, and the same is true for character building. Back to today's role, too much of a one-sided persona, it is inevitable that everyone will feel that there is nothing to see.
With the two male protagonists becoming popular overnight, just sitting on the top of the position but becoming everyone shouting and fighting, the only way to break through the current predicament is transformation. Unfortunately, the new role of the new drama does not seem to have brought any improvement, and Xiao Zhan's acting road is still difficult to go.
