Although the battle for the year-end finale in 2021 is not over, from the perspective of ratings and network popularity, the basic overall situation has been determined.
"Xiao MinJia", which was simulcast by Hunan Satellite TV and Cool Factory, is undoubtedly the most talked about work at the end of this year, followed by "Knife Line in the Snow" simulcast by CCTV and Goose Factory and gradually getting better.
Although at the end of this year, there are still dramas such as "Wind Rises Luoyang", "Who is the Murderer", "Ebola Frontline", "Opponent", "Win or Lose" and other dramas, but the battle for the king of dramas at the end of the year is basically "Xiao MinJia" and "Snow Knife Line" two choices, and "Xiao Min Family" has a more obvious advantage.
As 2021 draws to a close, David TV and network broadcasting platforms have long ago officially announced the film list for 2022, but CCTV's next year's film list has not been fully revealed until recently.
In 2022, there will be 25 new works broadcasting on CCTV, most of which are realistic themes, which is also more in line with the positioning and temperament of CCTV.
CCTV's "passer-by disk" is the largest, but the dramas that can be on the star CCTV may not all become blockbusters. So in the CCTV 2022 film list, which dramas have a blockbuster atmosphere? At present, the author believes that there are 3 films, of which 1 is a costume drama and 2 are realistic themes.
Costumed military spy drama: "The Wind Rises in Longxi"
Adapted from Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, "The Wind Rises in Longxi" tells the story of a thrilling intelligence war triggered by two small people who are not focused on by the chaotic world in the context of the Three Kingdoms period.
The reason why the author is optimistic about "The Wind Rises in Longxi" is mainly for 3 reasons.
First, the cast of "The Wind Rises longxi" is strong enough, even a golden lineup.
Chen Kun and Bai Yu played the double male protagonist, starring Nie Yuan, Chang Yuan, Yang Ying, Sun Yi, Yu Haoming, etc., and Dong Zijian, Guo Jingfei and Li Guangjie starred in special appearances.
Second, "Wind Rises longxi" is adapted from Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, and the two popular dramas "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" and "Wind Rises Luoyang" are also adapted from Ma Boyong's original works.
Therefore, although Ma Boyong did not participate in the screenwriting, he still became a weather vane for the quality of film and television dramas, after all, his work itself is already excellent enough, as long as the screenwriter does not change, the cast does not collapse, at least it is a hit level.
Third, the director of "The Wind Rises longxi" is Lu Yang.
Lu Yang's directorial works are not many, but his third film work has helped him open up his popularity, that movie is "Embroidered Spring Knife", and then Lu Yang has come up with three high-quality works: "Xiuchun Knife: The Battlefield of Shuluo", "Surging Crowds" and "Assassination of Novelists".
Lu Yang is known as "a new generation of ghost director", and the costume theme is what he is good at, so "Wind Rises Longxi" can be handed over to him to direct, and the audience should be assured.
It is worth mentioning that when the show officially announced the cast, Yang Ying suffered quite a lot of questions, after all, among the powerful factions, her acting skills were indeed embarrassing, and I don't know if the show will drag her legs after it starts.
Zhao Liying's transformation work: "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes"
The main actors of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families" are Zhao Liying, Liu Wei, Tang Zeng, Cao Zheng, etc., Luo Jin will star in a special role, mainly telling the story of He Happiness, played by Zhao Liying, who continues to grow up under multiple tests such as career and marriage, love and family affection.
As one of the 85 flower leaders, Zhao Liying rarely starred in the realistic theme of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families", and the drama is considered to be her transformation work. As for the reason, it is nothing more than 2 points.
First, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" itself is a realistic theme, there are a large number of rural life combined with entrepreneurship shots, and the actors participating in the performance, in addition to Zhao Liying and Luo Jin, are basically regular guests of realistic theme works, which is a major challenge for Zhao Liying's acting skills and adaptability.
Second, the directors of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" are Zheng Xiaolong, Liu Xuesong and Yao Yuan, all three of whom are very good at realistic works.
In particular, Zheng Xiaolong not only has the masterpiece "Golden Marriage" with realistic themes, but also the masterpieces of ancient costumes "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and "The Biography of Mi Yue", as well as the masterpiece of the Anti-Japanese War Drama "Red Sorghum", which is one of the most accomplished TV drama directors in China.
The public generally believes that as long as young and middle-aged actors can win cooperation with Zheng Xiaolong, they will basically succeed in transformation, so this time Zhao Liying starred in "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families", which is also recognized as the transformation of her actor career.
Although many actors in the circle have said that there is no so-called transformation plan, what kind of role to play at what age, but in fact, they should still have a plan, after all, not everyone can directly convert from the strength of idol dramas to the main drama, they need a process of slow acceptance and recognition, of course, here is the recognition of the filmmakers, directors, producers, co-actors and other people.
Opening Year's Fine Drama: "The World of Man"
The TV series "The World of Man" is adapted from Liang Xiaosheng's work of the same name, which won the Mao Dun Literature Award, and shows the earth-shaking changes in China since the reform and opening up from the perspective of three generations of the Zhou family in a northern provincial capital.
The drama is starred by Lei Jiayin, Xin Baiqing, Song Jia and Yin Tao, and co-starring Ding Yongdai, Sarina, Song Chunli, Zhang Kaili, Yu Zhen, Feng Lei and so on.
Just looking at this cast, Yishui's vision of the emperor and the strength of the faction, the four words "quality drama" basically did not run, and this is also the most attractive place for the audience.
Such a realistic plot with a small view, coupled with the joining of a number of old drama bones, many people are optimistic that "The World" can become the king of the drama in 2022, and even surpass the reputation of "Mountains and Seas" and "The Age of Awakening".
In addition, "The World of Man" is scheduled for February 1, 2022, which is exactly the day of the Spring Festival, which is also of great benefit to the fermentation and dissemination of the drama's reputation.
In addition to the above three dramas, in the CCTV 2022 film list, the popularity and reputation of "Police Honor" starring Zhang Ruoyun Bailu, "Genius Basic Law" starring Lei Jiayin Zhang Zifeng, and "Heart Residence" starring Haiqing Tongyao should not be bad.
CCTV once gave people the impression of the main drama, but today's CCTV has changed a lot, in addition to the main drama, costume dramas, martial arts dramas, genre dramas are willing to buy, once the situation of first-line satellite TV contributing to popular dramas has ceased to exist, CCTV, which has the largest "passer-by disk" advantage, has become the biggest competitor of first-line satellite television.
