Following "Balala Little Devil Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl", domestic live-action dramas have not launched magical girl-themed works for some time. There is a live-action drama called "Magic Girl" that has been broadcast, but it has not attracted rave reviews, but has been ridiculed by some passers-by, receiving evaluations such as "female characters are too old" and "rough production". Why didn't "Magic Girl" get the reputation of the previous domestic magical girl live-action drama? Let's analyze it in detail, as follows:
"Magic Girl" was originally a spin-off of the toy show
The in the name of Magic Girl comes from a show. This show is dedicated to introducing the most fun toys to children at the moment, and later the show's fame has become more and more famous, and several live-action dramas have been derived, "Magic Girl" is one of them. In other words, several of the protagonists in "Magic Girl" are children's program hosts, and they are definitely less interesting than professional actors.
"Magic Girl" also did not specially invite young little beauty actors to participate, and the three magical girls were all supported by the show, and they were not young girls, and it was slightly strange to call them "magical girls". Therefore, "Magic Girl" gives people the feeling that a few young ladies are pretending to be tender, and the audience who watches it for the first time may feel hot eyes, but the audience who is familiar with the children's program "Fanni" can naturally watch it, and they are used to these hosts.
Because it is only a derivative drama of the toy program, the funding of "Magic Girl" will not be too high, just like the spin-off drama "Good Time Between Classes" of "Little Dragon Club" that year, simple props and backgrounds, supported by a few actors. What leather cases, special effects, and framing are certainly not as good as investing in tens of millions of live-action dramas. In the eyes of passers-by, there is a phenomenon of insufficient funding, and comparing it with "Baala Little Devil Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl" can indeed see a hint of shoddy taste.
"Magic Girl" does not have to be compared with "Balala Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl"
However, "Magic Girl" is not as badly evaluated by passers-by, and it is unfair to compare it with "Baala Little Devil Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl", because its service target is not necessarily the audience of "Baala Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl", but a younger group of children. "Magic Girl" does not follow the style of "Ba La La Little Devil Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl" in the story.
"Balala Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Law Heavenly Girl" have more daily dramas, more concerned about the campus life of primary school students or middle school students, "Magic Girl" because there are not many small actors, so it takes the campus "handsome and beautiful women" idol drama route, there is a "let's see the thunderstorm" feeling. Rather than saying that "Magic Girl" is a children's to magical girl drama, it is more a children's to idol drama, it does not have to be compared with "Balala Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl", because it is not a style work.
As a web series, "Magic Girl" is not a TV series, it does not have to be reviewed on TV, nor does it need to be selected by TV stations, and it can be created at will. In fact, after most children's dramas become online, the quality will decline on a large scale, because the audience on the Internet is not very picky. Therefore, as a web drama, "Magic Girl" is also difficult to compare with TV series such as "Ba la La Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Law Heavenly Girl", which serves some netizens, while "Ba La La Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Law Heavenly Girl" serve the vast audience of the TV station.
summary:
As the latest magical girl live-action drama in China, the quality of "Magic Girl" is not as good as the two predecessors of "Ba la La Little Magic Fairy" and "Dancing Heavenly Girl", in fact, it is not shameful. It is only a derivative drama of the toy program, and it is a web drama, whether it is funding, audience or creative ideas, it is quite different from the previous magical girl works, as long as the children and audiences of "Magic Girl" are happy to see it, it is a successful work, what do you think?
