The audience is always adraft, but new dramas are constantly coming online. Speaking of which, the fundamental reason for the "drama famine" is that the new drama is not good enough. Little 8 "explores the way" for everyone in advance, reads the drama review, and then decides whether to chase or not.
I. "Mountains and Rivers moonlight" - an idol drama under the banner of "historical drama"
In recent years, there has been no wonderful historical drama for a long time, and "Mountains and Rivers Moon" can be described as shouldering heavy responsibilities. The story begins with Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and mainly tells the story of the "Yongle Prosperous World" created by Zhu Di.
The director is Gao Xixi, to tell the truth, Xiao 8 quite likes his "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao and Liu Bei these two roles are very exciting, even can be said to be classics! For post-90s audiences, the 2010 version of "Three Kingdoms" is more "friendly" than the 1994 version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", at least the actors are more familiar.
Starring Chen Baoguo, Feng Shaofeng, Zhang Fengyi, are all first-class strength factions, just look at the lineup can smell the magnificent, brilliant, dazzling charm of the times.
Unfortunately, when the series began to air, the audience found that they were deceived, first of all, the original nearly 80 episodes of the scene, was deleted 31 episodes, resulting in the plot is very incoherent, do not understand the history of the Ming Dynasty audience, see the clouds. Then the subtitles of each character introduction flashed quickly, afraid that the audience would see clearly.
In addition, there are some magic changes in the plot, originally Zhu Di and Empress Xu Qingmei Bamboo Horse, the couple have a deep love, the screenwriter wants to add an inexplicable white moonlight to Zhu Di. Zhu Di had been fighting with the Mongols all his life, how could there be a Mongolian sweetheart?
The founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu, was actually killed by a woman with a fire bolt hidden in her boots. Notice the form of this pistol, which was absolutely impossible in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, because this flintlock gun was not invented until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The firearms of that period were all long strips of fire, large in size, and it was impossible to hide in boots and not be discovered. (Can the prop group check the information more online)
Looking at the old drama bones, Zhang Fengyi is not a big problem, playing the general with ease. But Zhu Yuanzhang, played by Chen Baoguo, is too kind. Zhu Yuanzhang is a decisive and fierce founding emperor who dares not look at him directly, how kind and funny is like the grandfather of the neighbor's family?
Chen Baoguo was also said by the audience to come to "hold his son", because Zhu Yunjiao in the play was played by Chen Baoguo's son Chen Yuemei.
If you open "Mountains and Rivers moonlight" with the mentality of watching historical dramas, there is a high probability that you will be disappointed, which can at best be called "drama to explain the dynasty", and the plot and characters cannot be too true. It really can't be done, just watch it as an idol drama, but it's a pity that this group of powerful actors.
Second, "Chasing the Love Family" - the only point of view is Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo
The story takes place in the family of Qi Guosheng, a retired old teacher, who is very face-saving, and all 3 sons are not angry. The eldest is afraid of marriage, the second is divorced, and the relationship of the third is always encountered.
The biggest highlight of the whole drama is the male protagonist Guo Jingfei and the female protagonist Tan Zhuo, the "middle-aged resentful couple", although the two are divorced, they care about each other very much in their hearts, and every time they meet, they can't help but fight each other. Coupled with the fact that the two are skilled in acting, it is a second cooperation after "Opponent", and the cooperation is quite tacit.
But in this drama, in addition to Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo, the rest of the people's role is difficult to say, especially the third elder of the Qi family, which is a "gas man", resulting in the audience every time they see him like fast forward, and the acting skills of actor Xiong Ziqi are not enough in front of a group of powerful factions.
The fundamental problem of "Chasing the Love Family" is that the script is too bad, and interested audiences can directly find Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo's CUT to see, and the rest will be forgotten.
Third, "It was the teacher" - not as bad as imagined
In fact, when Xiao 8 saw the name of the male protagonist of this drama, he refused in his heart, because he was Chen Xuedong. Chen Xuedong is a classic representative of AI acting, no matter what he plays, he has no expression, and occasionally looks less intelligent.
He debuted more than a decade ago, most famously in "Little Times" and "Harry Potter Flying on a Broomstick". However, after watching two episodes of "Originally a Teacher", I found that Chen Xuedong's acting skills were not as bad as expected, probably from negative points to 40 points.
The male protagonist is a popular singer, after the paste to go to high school as a music teacher, the female protagonist is a high school English teacher, the story revolves around campus violence, crazy star chasing in the rice circle, the difference between the image of new and old teachers and other campus themes.
The rhythm of the whole drama is not bad, and a pair of handsome men and women on campus have a sense of CP, which is also a highlight.
The most attractive point of this drama is that the big lady and red wolf in "Know It or Not" have now "crossed" to continue to be husband and wife, and the daughter is Rulan. The family continued the frontier and was really kind.
In addition, the details of this drama are not bad, filmed in Changsha, the early morning powder shop, the stall in the alley to repair shoes, the aunt who pushes the cart to sell vegetables, the picture presented is very pyrotechnic.
It is okay to see the two funny next meal dramas in "Originally a Teacher", but it must not be more true, and you will abandon the drama if it is more real.
Fourth, "Jade Face Peach Blossom Always Meets" - the male protagonist is afraid of the audience, too rushed
The drama is Zhang Hanyun after three years, and then play the costume heroine, which was originally expected by a considerable part of the audience. But there are too many bugs in "Jade Face Peach Blossom Always Meet".
First of all, the male protagonist Tong Mengshi, when the audience chased the drama, complained that he looked ugly, and did not expect him to directly open the fear! Dude, doesn't the audience even have the right to complain? The male protagonist personally "chased the guests", making this new drama, which had few audiences, even worse.
(The male protagonist is Uncle Wuzhu in "Qing Yu Nian", it seems that he is only suitable for covering his eyes to shoot)
In addition, "Jade Face Peach Blossom" belongs to the "Farming Text" novel adaptation, which tells the ordinary and trivial daily life between some pastoral places. But the problem is that the plot of this drama is too tedious, the character modeling is not brilliant, and the male protagonist is not handsome, and the audience has no motivation to chase the drama.
What is more heart-wrenching is that "Jade Face Peach Blossom" has made the ratings of Hunan Satellite TV fall to the bottom. Originally, "Please Give More Advice for the Rest of Your Life" pulled the ratings of Hunan Satellite TV to an average of 0.7, and occasionally there was a situation where the ratings broke through 1 in a few days.
However, the ratings of "Jade Face Peach Blossom" continue to decline, and now the average episode is not even 0.5, the episode is not wonderful + the starring actor has no rating appeal, and the audience can not look forward to it.
V. "A Generation of Hong Shang" - Xingchong opened, gray slippery shut down
"Using top ingredients, we made a fast food", which is said in "A Generation of Hong Shang". First look at the main cast of the play, both Zhang Fengyi, Li Liqun, Ding Haifeng, Niu Li, Kou Zhenhai and other drama bones, as well as Zhang Hanyun (yes, she is her again) such a beautiful woman.
The story tells the story of the merchants in the Hongjiang area of Hunan Province, who save the country with industry and support half of the country. The selection of materials is very unique, the background and the idea are also very ambitious, but shooting it is another matter.
First of all, the costumes in the play are too gorgeous and new, without the charm of the Republic of China period, and look more like a stage play. In addition, the background of the story is not clear, the acting skills of young actors are worse than imagined, and many people's mouth shapes are inconsistent with the dubbing, which makes the audience very "separated".
The plot is even more fragmented, although holding high the banner of "Xiangshang", it is actually an ethical family dog blood drama, completely without novelty. The audience who have watched it has played a star in a certain flap, and many people feel that it is a pity to have such a luxurious drama bone lineup.
Xiao 8 found that the director of the play, Lu Qi, was an art designer, and "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Young Bao Qingtian" were all from his hands, but once he arrived at the director, it seemed that his skills were insufficient, which showed that the art industry had a specialty!
VI. "The End of the Smoke" - another "Anti-War Divine Drama" cloaked in the cloak of idol drama
There has been no decent anti-war drama for a long time, originally looking at the cast, the male protagonist, the male protagonist Jiao Junyan, the director Lian Yiming, it is quite like the thing. But as soon as I opened it, I knew that it was another "divine drama".
The man and two other brothers carried out assassination missions on the train, and the three of them wore fashionable hairstyles, wore exquisite costumes, and walked in slow motion. After watching it for two minutes, I realized something was wrong.
Immediately after, the target deftly dodged the gunman's bullets (people could dodge bullets at short ranges), and the assassination failed.
So the three of them decided to jump the train to escape, and then one by one, after jumping down, the clothes were clean, there was no dust on the face, and the handsome appearance was not affected in the slightest. After watching it for 5 minutes, I knew that the show could be abandoned.
In the words of netizens: This is another idol drama that serves love and wears the cloak of resistance, and the plot is like a joke.
In fact, the original novel of the same name is quite wonderful, and it also won the 2013 annual praise work of online literature, but unfortunately, after it was put on the screen, it was magically changed. Please, capital, after getting the copyright of a wonderful novel, please treat it with heart, don't waste the original book!
7. "Special Battle Glory" - a suspended military cool drama
"Special Battle Glory" is a military drama, played by Yang Yang, who graduated from military art, and his righteousness is quite suitable for the role. But the problem lies in the plot, the recruits have just entered the training, they dare to question the instructors, intimidate the superior leaders, a "drag the king" style.
Later, a group of recruits broke into other people's combat units and accidentally hit and bumped to help friendly troops win. All kinds of "open and hanging" plots that have been questioned by the audience are all to highlight the highlights of the role of the male protagonist.
In the end, "Special Combat Glory" is still too suspended, not grounded enough, saying that it is a military drama, it is better to say that it is a simple "cool drama". The male protagonist is extremely capable, all the way up, experiencing some setbacks in the middle, and finally climbing to the peak of life and realizing the ideal. It's set-up, but it works well.
Simply treat it as a "cool drama" can also be seen, if you want to get a sense of reality and a sense of substitution from "Special Combat Glory", or forget it. The male protagonist Yang Yang is quite handsome, but the acting skills are too upright, and the actors around him seem to be not in the same world, compared to the military drama of zheng'er Bajing, perhaps he is still more suitable for idol dramas.
One of the audience's long comments is very real, small 8 posted out for everyone to see, if it is really not good, do not force it.
In the past quarter of 2022, there have been several popular dramas, such as "The World of Man", which has a double harvest of word-of-mouth ratings, and "Heart Residence", which is angry but has a gratifying rating, and the web drama "Hunting Crime Picture Book" has also successfully broken through with excellent production. The above 7 dramas, which one do you think has the potential to become a hit?
