The drama broadcast market in February is still the world of "Crazy", not only many rebroadcasts, but also the audience is not tired of it. On the one hand, it is because "Crazy" is good-looking, on the other hand, it is also because the new drama in February is not very powerful.
In terms of TV series, CCTV One and Eight each launched a period drama, namely "Our Day" and "Love Man Jiudaowan", but the two dramas performed mediocre in terms of ratings, and the broadcast effect failed to meet expectations.
And the fairy tale drama "Starfall into Sugar", which is said to be the first star in 5 years, has been tepid since the day it was broadcast.
In terms of online dramas, Tencent launched "Heavy Purple" starring Yang Chao, and as soon as it was broadcast, it was broken because the plot setting was similar to "Flower Thousand Bones", and the actors' acting skills were far inferior to the latter; Youku's "Guangyuan" fell into an indefinite suspension after 8 episodes.
However, the slump in February dramas will soon be swept away by the new dramas, and in March, there will be a number of dramas, including 4, which Tomato Jun feels is promising.
First, "The Way Home": The team is guaranteed, and the new ratings queen + ace screenwriter
Starring: Jing Boran, Tan Songyun
Type: Urban
Platform: iQiyi
When it comes to the ratings queen, everyone's impression may still be Yan Ni, Sun Li, Haiqing and others, in fact, the new generation of ratings queens has gradually grown, Tan Songyun is one of them.
In recent years, many dramas starring Tan Songyun have good ratings, "Under the Brocade" and "In the Name of the Family" have set off a lot of ratings boom, and this year's "Walking to the Wind" starring Wang Kai has broken 2 in ratings, and the ratings appeal cannot be underestimated.
And the reason why Tan Songyun pleases the audience is due to her pure and harmless temperament, acting in modern dramas, it is easy to make the audience feel good.
In "The Way Home", Tan Songyun once again shows her pure little flower characteristics, and she can't see her teeth when she laughs, which is very sweet and affinity.
In addition to Tan Songyun, the other starring role of "Homecoming" is Jing Boran.
In the film industry for many years, Jing Boran's acting skills are also delicate among actors of the same age. And he looks handsome, even if you shoot him in the lens language of shooting peerless handsome guys, it will not feel abrupt.
This time, the two will play a couple who are reunited ten years after breaking up in "Home", and the girlish atmosphere on Tan Songyun and the handsomeness of Jing Boran's brother are destined to be a pleasing drama.
In addition, the "kernel" of "Homecoming" is also very strong.
First of all, the story is adapted from Mo Bao Feibao's novel of the same name, and the author serves as the screenwriter.
Speaking of Mo Bao Feibao, the hit dramas such as "Step by Step", "Why Sheng Xiao Silent" and "Dear, Love" are all adapted from her novels, which can be said to be a fire film.
In addition to the guaranteed story, "Homecoming" also has a secret weapon, that is, director Yu Cuihua, who has directed "Three Lives and Three Lives and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and his directing ability is obvious to all.
With excellent actors, strong screenwriters and a director with strong narrative skills, what reason is there why "Homecoming" is not good?
2. "Public Prosecution Elite": As soon as the state makes a move, it knows that there must be
Starring: Di Li Gerba, Tong Dawei
Type: Prosecutor
Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
In the world of TV dramas, state-produced works seem to be in their own right.
From the previous "In the Name of the People" to last year's hit "The Bottom Line", these works have been filming what others can't shoot and dare not shoot, directly hitting the pain points of society.
This time, the Supreme People's Procuratorate also took action, bringing this "Public Prosecution Elite".
From the perspective of An Ni (Di Li Gerba), a young prosecutor who has just entered the work of the procuratorate, the play unveils the whole process of the Ministry of Supervision's handling of cybercrime cases.
Similar to "The Bottom Line", "Public Prosecution Elite" is also connected by a series of cases, and the cases in the play are adapted from popular real events, which should trigger a lot of discussion; Because there are many cases, a total of 6 screenwriters have been used in the play, which shows how thick the script is.
In terms of selecting actors, the play takes the old with the new, which can not only ensure word of mouth through powerful actors, but also attract attention through traffic actors.
The "new" in "Public Prosecution Elite" refers to Di Li Gerba, who has not had new works for a long time, and this time she finally returned to the public eye to bring her new works; Although for actors, Di Li Gerba is not a newcomer, in the field of formal drama, she is indeed a newcomer.
And Di Li Gerba's performance in the trailer is also eye-catching, playing the prosecutor's aura is completely different from the role she played before.
When she sat in the courtroom in her uniform, the fat powder on the female star disappeared, leaving only the grandeur of public officials.
Generally, against the old drama bones, the acting defects of some young actors will be revealed, but Di Li Gerba withstood the pressure, her expression was vivid and vivid, even if it was a flashing picture, you could feel her joy, anger and sorrow, which is not simple for young actors.
And "old" refers to Tong Dawei, Gao Xin, Feng Lei and others, who either add glory to this drama as starring or supporting roles.
These middle-aged actors may not be as famous as traffic stars, but a look and a shot can make the audience feel what acting is, and every part of them is a drama.
The director of the play, Yu Ding, is also very eye-catching, once shortlisted for the Magnolia Award for Best Director with "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", although he passed by the award, but the director's ability is obvious to all, I believe he will be able to shoot this drama well and tell the story of the prosecutor well.
3. "We Are Young": The best troops were sent at noon
Starring: Wan Qian, Qin Hao, Li Jiahang
Type: Military
Broadcast platform: Zhejiang Satellite TV, Oriental Satellite TV
Speaking of military dramas, everyone should have the impression that they should be men's dramas such as "Soldier Assault", "I am a special soldier", and "My brother is called Shunyo".
But the noon sun never takes the usual path, and it turned "We Are Young" into a TV series about the emotional life of officers.
"We Are Young" tells the story of Xu Xiaobin (played by Li Jiahang) and Xu Xiaobing (played by Wan Qian), two people with different names with different names, who became soldiers together, went to college together, and finally became husband and wife, and also helped their former comrades find happiness together.
And the noon sun is the ability to make various themes into good-looking TV series, and this time it finally started on military dramas.
Plus the behind-the-scenes team of the show are all elite players of the noon sun.
Director Li Xue has directed high-scoring dramas such as "Langya List", "Pretender", "No War in Beiping" and so on; Screenwriter Liu Jing is also an old friend of the noon sun, and has produced such a masterpiece as "Parental Love".
I believe that the two can recreate the classic by joining forces.
Under the direction of Li Xue, the actors in the play also shined with new brilliance.
For a long time, Wan Qian has given people the feeling of being a flower of Gaoling, a person as light as a daisy, and the roles she plays are also relatively intellectual.
But this time, the role she played had a bit of a "fierce woman" feeling, and she either moved her mouth or did it to her husband, and even her comrades couldn't help but complain: "You are a daughter-in-law who is looking for a lantern." ”
And Xu Xiaobin, played by Li Jiahang, is that kind of nene's personality, a very good bully, which makes people feel like watching Zhang Yida in "Love Apartment", with its own laughter.
As for Qin Hao, his role this time is also very grounded, no longer as depressed as the characters in "Hidden Corner" and "Dear Child", from the perspective of action expressions, this character is also a little comedic, very interesting.
4. "Invisible Team": TVB's farewell work after leaving the nest
Starring: Chen Zhanpeng, Tang Shiyong, Ma Guoming, Chen Shancong
Type: Police and bandit
Broadcast platform: TVB
In recent years, TVB's sense of existence has become weaker and weaker, and many artists have left the nest to go north, and the recently popular "Infinite Beyond Class" has gathered many former TVB artists such as She Shiman and Zhang Keyi.
And recently, another Hua Dan is about to leave TVB, she is Tang Shiyong.
Audiences who often watch Hong Kong dramas should be familiar with Tang Shiyong, who started as a supporting role and gradually became the head of TVB, and won the throne behind the TV in 2018.
This "Invisible Team" will also become her breakup with TVB, but TVB did not prevaricate her because Tang Shiyong was leaving, and still equipped this drama with a super luxurious team.
In terms of actors, in addition to Tang Shiyong, there are also Chen Baoguo, Ma Guoming, Chen Shancong, the three emperors and Jiang Meiyi, who is also the TVB TVB queen, this lineup can be said to be very strong.
The content of the series is also the most familiar and TVB best police and bandit theme, telling the story of the mission of the stealth mission strategic force.
From "Negotiator" to "Criminal Investigation File" to "Apostle Walker", although TVB is gradually declining, it is still unmatched in the filming experience of such TV series.
I believe that this "Invisible Team" will also be very good.
In addition to the above four dramas, there are many wonderful dramas to be broadcast.
Chen Xiao and Mao Xiaotong will jointly perform the costume masterpiece "The Legend of Yunxiang" and stage the happy feud of the martial arts.
Wu Lei and Zhou Yutong want to talk about a sweet sibling love in "Love Only".
Hou Minghao and Zhou Ye want to open the fantasy story "Protect the Heart".
So many good dramas, there must be one suitable for you, hurry up and say which drama you are most looking forward to!
