On the evening of January 28, the TV series "Human World" broadcast the plot of episodes 1 and 2 on CCTV, based on the plot of the first two episodes of the premiere, it was impossible to spy on this TV series. Why? Because this TV series is not a commercial drama narrative, it is a typical more traditional slow-heat TV series, and the literary and artistic attributes are stronger, so the plot of the first two episodes is only a slow "small beginning" of a story. In this opening, it is actually light story and heavy characters.
Before the TV series was broadcast, some viewers imagined that this TV series might be the look and feel of "Ordinary World", or the rich life atmosphere like "Loading Stage". Based on the two episodes that premiered, the narrative path taken by "The World of Man" is not like this. First of all, this TV series did not start out of poverty too much. "Ordinary World" uses extreme poverty to grab the audience and readers and achieve an effective empathy. And "Loading The Stage" is through the strong urban village atmosphere, directly close the audience's attention. The current plot content of "The World of Man" has not taken two effective paths.
This is also where I can't understand the TV drama version of "The World" for a while. Perhaps, with the in-depth broadcast of this TV series, after more plots appear, its narrative path and technical pursuit will be more obvious. Therefore, I said earlier that this TV series cannot be seen through the first two episodes. If other critics can, I'm willing to learn from them. But I believe that this kind of slow-heat type of TV drama work, other drama critics should also be cautious.
I feel that the TV series "The World" may focus on family narratives. Most of the plot content that has been broadcast revolves around this family. Including the brothers to become soldiers, to go to the mountains and the countryside, to the lumber mill, etc., and even to the mother and another aunt for the children's marriage chat and so on. These are the narrative paths of typical family dramas. The screenwriter of the drama, Teacher Wang Haiyu, has been a hit TV series in many of the past family drama works. This time, Teacher Wang Haiyu is likely to still be working in his familiar narrative logic.
Teacher Liang Xiaosheng's original novel version, the most shocking thing about me at the beginning is the formation of the light character piece. This molding process, which has been opened for hundreds of years, is about how there are several houses here, how there are a street house, how there are several other alleys, and so on. These contents seem to be about housing, but in fact, they are about the difficult life of ordinary people a hundred years ago. This kind of survival suffering, in the original novel, because of the formation of a light word piece at the beginning, has become very gripping.
The beginning of Liang Xiaosheng's novel "The World of Man" reminds me of the beginning of Liu Qing's "History of Entrepreneurship", which is also the story of generations who want to build a thatched house and cannot do it. Such an opening has the empathy of a painful experience. Perhaps, under the male narrative, like to focus on building a house. And the narrative of women ("The World" screenwriter Wang Haiyu, who is a woman), likes to focus on the story inside the house. Teacher Liang Xiaosheng's novel "The World of Man" was finally demolished with light characters, everyone lived in a new house, and life was effectively improved and ended. This external content expression is more explicit. And Wang Haiyu's TV series "The World", I don't know if it is more important to the life inside the house itself.
Of course, whether it is a TV drama version or a novel version, it is all about benevolence and righteousness. The core emotion of "The World" is still the simplicity of working people. In the TV series version, in the premiere plot, the female protagonist pursues the bridge content of the male protagonist, which is estimated to make many viewers laugh. The kind of thick and honesty on the male protagonist, and the kind of responsibility and responsibility on the female protagonist are all very characteristic character shaping.
Under the more traditional TV series narrative brushwork, the rapid portrait mode of the current commercial drama will not be adopted, so if the audience wants to taste the real taste of "The World", it must be taken slowly, and with the emergence of more plots, the personality characteristics of the characters will become more and more clear. This traditional narrative brushwork belongs to the "carved clay sculpture", the slowness of one knife after another, and even when it comes to the last knife, the audience suddenly realizes that the personality of the protagonists is like this, so vivid.
Based on the plot content that has been broadcast so far, the characters portrayed by Yin Tao and Lei Jiayin are all bright spots. Lei Jiayin played the character's humility, and Yin Tao played the cheerfulness of the role. Yin Tao's "fly in the ointment" is that it is still a little too beautiful, which is slightly different from the characters in the original work. If Yin Tao's outfit is more earthy, it may have a better artistic effect.
In the use of lens language, "The World of Man" does have a state of grand narrative storytelling. For this TV series, it is not appropriate to make more drama review conclusions at present, so let's wait for the drama to broadcast more content and continue to talk about it. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
