The long holiday has arrived, but the chase cannot be stopped.
At the end of April this year, the national opera is particularly lively. Not only are there rich themes and genres, but there are also new dramas of considerable quality. However, there is still a lack of real king fried.
CCTV eight sets of costume spy drama - "Wind Rises Longxi", the most eye-catching before the start of the broadcast, the lineup is extremely gorgeous, as well as Ma Boyong's original novel and Lu Yang directed, but unfortunately there is word of mouth, CCTV broadcast after the rating hovered around 0.6.
Another major suspense drama ,"The Gate of Rebirth", for the first time integrated the theme of theft into the suspense genre, well-made, rhythmic, Zhang Yi's acting skills are even more speechless, but due to genre limitations, the series failed to break the circle.
And a newly launched urban drama, whether it is CCTV 1 set of "New Home Covenant" or Oriental Satellite TV's "Please Call Me Director", have received good ratings, but it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of Wang Bombing.
Fortunately, this May, the national drama has been full of energy. There are new dramas waiting to be launched, and there are also scheduled hits that have been accumulating momentum for a long time and finally started.
A string of names behind the series, star-studded: Zhao Liying, Luo Jin, Liu Yifei, Chen Xiao, Yang Mi, Xu Kai, Zhang Ruoyun, Bai Lu, Li Xian.
When the film market encounters a cold spring, fortunately, there are so many good dramas to accompany us through the spring.
And in this wave of fairy fights, who can truly become the next undisputed annual king bomber?
Come, the spring light is just right, just right for the disc drama -
10. "Saved You Ten Thousand Times"
Starring: Bai Ke, Zhang Yaqin
Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Comedy
Broadcast platforms: Tencent Video, iQiyi
One sentence drama review: In May, the new drama dark horse, I pressed the white guest
A good shot is a dark horse in May, and a bad shot is an extended version that I never expected.
The same is the theme of time loop, compared with the "Beginning" of the fire at the beginning of the year, this story of "hating the boss let me save you ten thousand times" is actually closer to the concept of infinite flow.
The episode tells that the poisonous tongue narcissistic boss Bai Zhen (Bai Ke) is constantly cursed by employees to die fancy, and each time he dies, the time will be reset on the same day. Li Luduo (Zhang Yaqin), a small transparent worker in the workplace, is also trapped in the time loop. In order to jump out of the loop, Li Luduo saves Bai Truth again and again, and the result is from cursing the boss to falling in love with the boss.
The casting of the series is indeed absolute, and it is funny to think that the boss Bai Truth, played by Bai Ke, is privately called "Overlord Goose" by employees, and the appearance of constantly hanging up after falling into the time loop is already funny.
Not to mention that in order to escape the cycle and return to normal life, he began to investigate the suspects through the handwriting of employees, and the white truth was white, which was obviously the meaning of the truth white search. It's even funnier to think about.
The comedic temperament and fantasy style of the whole drama have come to the fore, and the trailer is wonderful regardless of the laughter, rhythm and lines, and the game of hitting the worker vs the boss also has a certain sense of substitution.
Bai Ke finally returned to comedy after "Jiang Zhao Dawn", acting skills do not have to worry, but the popular supporting role Zhang Yaqin in "Ancient Dust", whether he can play this role of saving the nasty boss still needs to be observed.
Overall it's a very complex work: sci-fi, suspense, brain-burning, comedy, and love.
People have to make people sweat for the series, but the surprise of success is also greater.
Finally, I squeezed an employee who "murdered" the boss: Kong Lianshun.
IX. "The Twenty-Eight Laws of Love"
Starring: Yang Mi, Xu Kai
Type: Urban Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
One sentence drama review: ancient puppet drama controversy, fashion drama can recover lost ground?
The audience is the most fickle group in the world.
After tasting the "bitterness" of realistic urban dramas, I began to look forward to the little sweetness of the current couple.
In this sense, the may broadcast of "The Two Eight Laws of Love" is just in time.
The story is the current hot sister-brother love, which is about the elite lawyer Qin Shi, who applied for a lawyer in the family department of a top law firm, and was modified from the marriage relationship to "married" by the unreliable second brother. After meeting the male protagonist, the two elites who were urged to marry immediately received a certificate, and the next step was definitely the beautiful love of first marriage and love.
Yang Mi's previous urban dramas have a mediocre reputation, but the ratings have exploded, and no matter how dissatisfied the audience is with the plot, they can't stop the sweet love of handsome men and beautiful women.
This time Yang Mi and Xu Kai, who is 9 years younger, play a couple, Reuters has a full sense of CP, and the story of the elderly unmarried female lawyer and the little milk dog brother is also very flattering.
Regardless of the word-of-mouth after broadcasting, the ratings will most likely win.
Not to mention that for the series to press the lineup, there is Lin Yan + Teng Huatao, the ace combination, Yang Mi, who has not had a hit for a long time, may really have to kill back this time.
VIII. "Police Honor"
Starring: Zhang Ruoyun, Bai Lu, Wang Jingchun
Type: Urban Criminal Investigation Broadcast platform: Yangba, iQiyi
One sentence drama review: either silent and silent, or may king fried
Zhang Ruoyun was busy.
Not only to shoot "Qing Yu Nian 2" and "Snow 2", but also "Daming Under the Microscope" to be broadcast.
But "Police Honor" may be Zhang Ruoyun's best recent reputation.
The plot revolves around Li Dawei, Xia Jie, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei, four fledgling trainee police officers, telling the story of their baptism of various cases at the Balihe Police Station in Pingling City, where "police intelligence is high", and they grew rapidly under the words and deeds of the old policemen, and finally became qualified people's policemen.
Obviously, this is not a strong rhythm police drama, more will focus on the growth of newcomers, so director Ding Hei equipped the young actors with a luxurious mentor lineup: Wang Jingchun and Ning Li. Berlin Movie Emperor, there is, villain professional household, arranged.
The final style of the episode is likely to be a long stream of thin water and silent moisturizing. I have no doubt about the quality of the series, but there may be two kinds of broadcast effects: one is that word of mouth pushes the ratings all the way up, and the other is that word of mouth is exploded, and the ratings are flat.
Hopefully, it's the former.
VII. "Out of Court"
Starring: Luo Jin, Jiao Junyan, Xia Yu
Genre: Urban, suspense Broadcast platform: Youku
One sentence drama review: Will the most gorgeous new drama in the director's lineup in May be a suspense dark horse?
A very ambitious domestic suspense drama, but this may also become a bottleneck for the series.
Many viewers will be confused by the two titles of the series, in fact, "Out of Court" is a 30-episode crime suspense criminal investigation drama, divided into two chapters of "Blind Zone" and "The Sinker", but it is not the relationship between the upper and lower parts, but two parallel advances in time and space.
Looking at the poster, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.
It is also implied that the ones in the blind spots and the ones who fall into the water are not necessarily who.
The lineup of the series is extremely gorgeous, "Blind Zone" is starred by Xia Yu, Luo Jin, Wan Qian, etc., and "The Falling Water" is starred by Luo Jin, Jiao Junyan, Xia Yu, Li Guangjie, Li Zonghan and so on.
The director is Zhang Li, who has made two of the highest-scoring historical dramas in China, and Huang Wei, who shot the "Great Rivers and Great Rivers" series.
The script is also written by the screenwriter Da take the "fingerprint" himself.
No matter how you look at it, it is the top match of the national drama.
Looking at the material, I already feel that the steady rhythm is delicate, and the undercurrent of the contradictions is surging.
In the dramatic environment that has been pushed to the extreme, those repressed human natures and hidden killing intentions have found a perfect stage to bloom.
As the core character throughout the two films, Luo Jin, whether he can find a truly thrilling inner storm is a key to the success of the series.
Another key is whether the audience can accept the unique narrative mode of intertwining 2 parallel stories in the same time and space.
Finally, a digression, Uncle Li looked for Jiang Wen's "Cao Cao", how was it filmed?
VI. "If Life Is Like The First Sight"
Starring: Li Xian, Chun Xia
Type: History Broadcast platform: Yangba, iQiyi
One sentence drama review: The most ambitious drama in May, I am waiting for it to explode
It is also a work of national drama ambition that has been released for more than two years.
"White Night Pursuit" director Wang Wei is another Republic of China drama after "Hidden and Great".
Screenwriter Jiang Qitao has classic works such as "The Emperor of Han Wu" and "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", which is still the screenwriter's sealed work.
The director and screenwriter are stable to the point that they can no longer be stable, and the integration of the drama cannot be achieved, depending on the play of Actors such as Li Xian, Chun Xia, Wei Daxun, Zhu Yawen and so on.
The main story of the series is to focus on the intertwined fate of five young people who rose up to save the national peril after the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War. It is a rare youth historical period drama.
At present, the platform wants to see a high number of people, watch the film flower, the series should be a perfect inheritance of the screenwriter's last epic masterpiece, Zhang Li's "The Right Way in the World is vicissitudes" advantages.
Great stories, great shots, a strong sense of history, and so on, all of which make it a good drama.
But another major key to the success of "The Right Way on Earth is vicissitudes" is to be good at the mining of characters.
In addition to the role of Sun Honglei, the performances of Huang Zhizhong and Sun Chun are remarkable, whether the new generation of actors can let us think about the choice and transformation of human roles in the storms of the times from the complex character roles, we also need to put a question mark, especially Wei Daxun and other actors with too strong sense of variety.
But if it does, it can also set a new benchmark.
Of course, the premise of everything is that if we and "Life is like the first sight", we can finally complete the first meeting in May.
V. Leverage
Starring: Guo Jingfei, Yu Yi, Tong Liya
Genre: Suspense, Crime
Broadcast platform: Jiangsu Satellite TV, Tencent Video
One-sentence drama review: "business predator" Guo Jingfei, as long as he does not laugh at the scene, the ratings of this drama will win steadily
It must be said that this is the boldest casting of the drama to be broadcast in May.
Although Guo Jingfei has already played a spy war in "Opponent", after all, it is a small person who relies on his own money to work, but this time Guo Jingfei is obviously a big person, and there is such a beautiful partner as Tong Liya in the play.
The story is about a different "cat and mouse game" opened by Xiao Jian, the chief of economic investigation played by Yu Yi, and Xu Feng, a financial predator played by Guo Jingfei.
Looking at the stills, this should be Guo Jingfei's deepest performance in recent years, the characters are sad from beginning to end, and the finale is definitely evil that cannot overcome the right.
The story is not much to mention. Let's sit back and wait for the surprise.
IV. "Welcome"
Starring: Huang Xuan, Bai Baihe
Genre: Urban, Emotional Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
One sentence drama review: Noonday Sunshine fights urban drama again, it is time to turn it over
It was really not surprising to see Bai Baihe appear in the starring list, because the story material of this drama comes from the novel "My Gestapo Bear" by the well-known writer Bao Whale Whale, and one of the representative works of this post-80s talented woman is "33 Days of Lost Love" that made Bai Baihe soar.
However, compared to the chick movie of that year, the focus of the story this time may be more on Huang Xuan's side.
The reason why it is called Welcome is because Huang Xuan plays a hotel doorman who does not seek to be motivated.
The story is about his love at first sight for the flight attendant played by Bai Baihe, and he suddenly decides to work hard to live. Honestly, the story is a bit cheesy, but the story of "33 Days of Lost Love" is not new, who knows how the abalone whale will turn decay into magic?
This is also the second cooperation between Huang Xuan and the Noonday Sunshine team, the last time was Kong Sheng, this time it was Li Xue.
Before starring in "Mountains and Seas", Huang Xuan experienced a period of confusion in urban drama performances, and "Perfect Partner" made the audience's controversy over this acting school reach a high point, but after "Mountains and Seas", Huang Xuan obviously regained his state, and the "Gao Bingcang" in "Wind Rises Luoyang" once again proved that Huang Xuan has returned to the peak of his performance state.
As a director of the Noonday Sun generation, Li Xue's "Pretender" and "No War in Peking" have been successful, but "Surgical Storm" has caused some controversy.
A combination of various factors, the series in the determination with a lot of uncertainty, but the noonday sun is a feature: rarely appear two consecutive dramas in a row of word of mouth hit the street, I hope this is also the noonday sunshine urban drama turnaround battle.
Last sentence: Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing what huang Xuan, who was born in the North Dance, dances square dance, and that is, the brothers of "Mountains and Seas" are together again?
III. "Who is the Hero"
Starring: Zeng Shunxi, Yang Chaoyue, Liu Yuning
Genre: Wuxia, Costume Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
One-sentence drama review: Is the martial arts drama directed by "Si Teng" a real hero?
A refreshing work from top to bottom.
The original novel is the novel series of the same name by Wen Rui'an, one of the four great masters of martial arts. It is still a lot of youth memories of the 70s and 80s.
The story tells the story of the young Wang Xiaoshi (played by Zeng Shunxi) traveling down the mountain to meet Gentle (played by Yang Chaoyue), Bai Zaofei (played by Liu Yuning), Su Mengqiu (played by Chen Chuhe) and other people traveling through the rivers and lakes together.
The genre is a costume martial arts comedy.
The main actors are Zeng Shunxi, Yang Chaoyue, Liu Yuning, these high-value young actors.
The director is Li Muge, the director of "Si Teng".
Needless to say, after the series starts broadcasting, it will definitely face the problem of whether it can revitalize the martial arts drama market.
But in fact, this is more like a subversion of traditional martial arts dramas, or is it that the platform and the main creator are exploring together: can the new generation of martial arts still be accepted by a new generation of young audiences?
At present, the series from the poster, to the content, stills, thick Li Muge's style, Yang Chaoyue is likely to reach a new peak of his ancient costume in this drama.
With today's production level, it is also capable of presenting Wen Rui'an's jianghu.
The most important thing is the plot, it depends on how to restore the fate of the peak martial arts and young heroes in the novel.
After the series starts, it will certainly encounter many traditional martial arts fans, especially the actor's acting skills.
However, what the increasingly withering domestic martial arts drama market needs most now is not to be correct, but precisely what is needed is to take a different path with the sword.
In short, it was the hero who came to cut me.
II. "Dream Hualu"
Starring: Liu Yifei, Chen Xiao
Genre: Costume Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
One sentence drama review: In May, the value of the god drama stabilized
A costume women's inspirational drama, with the "fairy sister" Liu Yifei, the stunning costumes of Lin Yun and Liu Yan, and the recognized costume appearance as Chen Xiao, at the same time must also be a strong contender for the annual costume divine face drama.
The story is based on Guan Hanqing's yuanqu dialect, telling the story of Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang, who experienced hardships and tribulations, and the three sisters finally ran the small tea house into the largest restaurant in Beijing.
The director of this drama, Yang Yang, has filmed many high-scoring national dramas, and this time there is a high probability that the aesthetics of domestic costume dramas will be improved, and the lineup is quite reliable, and the possibility of throwing streets is minimal.
Whether it can explode depends on whether Chen Xiao and Liu Yifei's appearance can return to their peak state.
Liu Yifei's last TV series was 2006's "Condor Heroes", this time back to the small screen, in addition to looking forward to her appearance, the audience of course has reason to expect her acting skills. Hopefully, the audience's dreams come true.
I. "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes"
Starring: Zhao Liying, Luo Jin
Type: Drama Broadcast platform: Beijing Satellite TV, Oriental Satellite TV, Youku
One sentence drama review: Zheng Xiaolong + Zhao Liying, no matter how long I wait
"The Biography of Zhen Huan" director Zheng Xiaolong, screenwriter Zhao Dongling is Zheng Xiaolong's old partner, or Zhao Liying's transformation masterpiece, it is impossible not to look forward to it.
The series is adapted from the novel "The Legend of Qiu Ju", and the audience is easily reminded of Zhang Yimou's "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", but the key to interpreting the series is that sentence -
"A History of the Growth of Contemporary Women".
From the plot point of view, although the story begins with the new woman He Xingfu of Wanjia Village hurt the son of the village branch secretary because of marriage, and then for various reasons, he confronted the village party secretary in court, but the focus of the story is the growth of the characters.
Even if it is only the trailer, you can see the change of Zhao Liying's role, and in the first half of Zhao Liying's role, she plays a role that is both restrained and jealous. The more you get to the back of the character, the more confident you are.
Although the performance of the last modern theme Zhao Liying was not very successful, the actor's opening may be a play, and Zheng Xiaolong is one of the directors who are best at adjusting actors in China.
I think there is no reason not to believe that Zhao Liying can really break through herself this time, the question is only to what extent to break through.
That's what the May drama list is about.
Draw the point. Once broadcast, it was scheduled by Wang Fang, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Dream Hualu".
The most likely to become a dark horse: "Say heroes who are heroes", "Save you ten thousand times".
The most stable and promising quality: "Out of Court", "Police Glory".
Shooting well will be the biggest surprise, and not shooting well will disappoint: "If life is like the first sight", "Welcome".
Regardless of whether the word of mouth is good or not, the ratings will be the same: "The Two Eight Laws of Love".
Whether it is a thunder or a dark horse, only the episode is broadcast to determine.
Speaking of which, this moment of the month is also the easiest time to punch in the face.
Looking back at last month's recommendations, the high-quality dramas that can really stay may not be as much as expected. But when the next month comes, I can't help but continue to look forward to the national drama, can perform better, more surprises, more dark horses and wang explosions, less overturning.
TV drama is the art of dreaming, no matter who is the hero, the new drama will always welcome you to the next dream, then I wish you a life as you first seen, happy to all families.
