However, in recent years, although the remake dramas have appeared one after another in the market, especially the classic IP is the focus of the remake drama, which has triggered heated discussions as soon as there is news, it seems that the remake drama that has mastered the traffic password in advance is difficult to really please the audience's heart, and the reputation is not as good as expected and has repeatedly become the result of the remake drama.

Familiar characters reappear

Speaking of the TV series that everyone knows in the film and television market, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is definitely among them, whether it is the highest rating at the time of premiere that reached 62.8%, creating a historical record for Chinese TV dramas after data statistics, or the continuous replay and domination of the summer vacation for more than 20 years, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" has long had an irreplaceable position in the hearts of domestic audiences. And now, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is going to be remade?

On January 20, a Weibo topic titled "Huan Zhu Ge Ge is about to be remade again" instantly caught people's attention. From the multiple pictures exposed by netizens, it can be seen that this work, which is called "Huan Zhu GeGe Version 3.0", is recruiting actors, including Xiao Yanzi, YongQi, Xia Ziwei, Falcon, Qing'er, Xiao Jian and other familiar roles, young men and women who meet the age of 18 years old, the image is recognizable, meet the original character style, and have a certain performance foundation /love of performance.

At the same time, the work is also marked in the promotional map with words such as "classic reproduction , heavy 'new' set sail" and "six major roles to be redefined", which undoubtedly triggered people's hot discussion. As of 11:20 a.m. on January 20, the topic had been read 330 million times and discussed 36,000 times.

Netizens bluntly said that they did not expect it

However, just when this remake of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" seems to have mastered the traffic password, when the project took the lead in brushing a round of heat at the beginning, many netizens bluntly said that they did not expect this remake.

According to the voting data under the Weibo topic, in response to the question of "huan zhu ge ge is about to be remade again, are you looking forward to it", as of the time of the Beijing Business Daily reporter's release, more than 180,000 people have participated, and only about 10% of the votes that can be cast "expect" are about 10%; and the option of "no expectation" has about 150,000 people voting, accounting for more than 80%, far more than other options; in addition, more than 10,000 people voted for the option of "feel free, the old version of the pearl I have not seen".

In fact, the 3.0 version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is not the first remake of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", and in 2011, the "New Zhu Ge Ge" starring actors Li Sheng, Hai Lu, Zhang Rui, Li Jiahang and others was broadcast in China, but it also failed to escape the criticism of the audience. And in the Douban movie, compared with the performance of the old version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" with a maximum score of 8.5 points, the score of "New Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is only 4.6 points.

Ms. Qi, an audience member, said, "In my mind, the previous three old TV series are difficult to be surpassed, and each actor vividly shows the personality characteristics of the characters played, and I really can't think of any other actors who can surpass the classics in acting." At the same time, the Beijing Business Daily reporter noticed that there are still netizens who leave a message saying that if they want to let everyone watch the 3.0 version of the remake, unless the plot is greatly adjusted, such as making Rong Mama the protagonist.

Earn traffic is difficult to earn word of mouth

Nowadays, remake dramas have become a common role in the film and television market, and the first thing to be remade is the work with the "classic" label, in addition to "Huan Zhuge Ge", "Journey to the West", Jin Yong martial arts drama, etc. are also the main targets of remakes.

"Compared with the new works, the classic works have a certain status in the minds of the audience through the previous broadcast, have a wider recognition, and can also get higher attention in a short period of time, so there will be film and television companies or production teams that choose to remake." At the same time, it can also be found that the current remake will also be willing to boldly use new actors, which has also become one of the ways for some new actors to open up a larger space. TV critic Sun Yu said.

But at the same time, it should not be ignored that few remakes can really get a satisfactory ending, and being criticized and low reputation is the norm, and every time it is broadcast, it will cause a round of controversy. In Sun Yu's view, this is the biggest challenge of the remake, "First of all, we should not underestimate the impact of 'preconceptions', the impression of the old version of the work to the audience will often occupy a certain dominant position, when the remake of the new work appears, the audience will naturally have a hurdle in acceptance." In addition, if the remake is to be recognized by the audience, it must surpass the previous work in some aspects, and it also needs to be innovative, which is a great challenge for the creative team."
