In 2023, just two months have passed, CCTV has three dramas overturned one after another.
Which three?
"Dawn East", "Our Day", "Wind and Rain Send Spring Home".
Of course, the upcoming finale of "Nine Bends of Love" is also heading for a rollover.
In fact, the problems of the three dramas are the same, that is, the actor problem and the plot problem.
First, let's look at "Breaking Dawn East".
Zhang Jiayi and Liu Tao are undoubtedly the two major actors who have failed.
Chen Yi played by Zhang Jiayi and Ji Nanyin played by Liu Tao have been complained about.
Although Zhang Jiayi interpreted a new style of Chen Yi, he lost Chen Yi's original characteristics, such as elegance, funny, humor, and talent. It is domineering, but the whole performance is rustic, stiff, not natural enough, and life-like. After all, in the past, Chen Yi created by actors such as Wei Qiming, Liu Xitian, Gu Wei and other actors were impressive, and now using new actors to play Chen Yi must be under great pressure. Although Zhang Jiayi is also a powerful drama bone, but over the years has played too many small characters, whether it is an urban drama or a period drama, it has also formed an inherent style and model, and now forcibly interpreting a great man is self-destructing his reputation, and he is the first actor to be dragged down.
This is a matter of the director's casting, as well as the actor's own performance.
Liu Tao, from Song Meiling to the current Ji Nanyin, is obviously unsuitable, without a little temperament, or her previous urban white-collar image and temperament. And the performance is also more routine and patterned, which is incompatible with the entire role.
There are more problems with the plot. Obviously, the plot mainly revolves around Chen Yi's "war in Shanghai", but it has become "Ji Nan Yin Battle Shanghai". Ji Nanyin became an omnipotent and powerful heroine, a female warrior. Chen Yi has been completely reduced to a tool man, and such a character design is really disgusting. Of course, what is more disgusting is the addition of a lot of bloody love scenes. Whether it is the secretary Lu Xiuyuan and the staff officer Ji Nanyin falling in love, or the eldest miss Lin Yingzi and the poor boy Lu Shiqi falling in love, it can be said that they are quite bloody, and both have a life-and-death love, Lin Yingzi was killed, and Lu Xiuyuan and Ji Nanyin were almost killed. Of course, the ending is good, Lu Xiuyuan and Ji Nanyin have become the biggest winners, not only a good career, but also a fruitful love.
"Breaking Dawn East" has changed from a revolutionary historical drama to a "Broken Drama".
Next, let's look at "Our Day".
The low-end version of "The World", the Chinese version of "Please Answer 1988", but the more miserable it became later, from the actors to the plot can be described as a mess.
The small snowflake went offline and became a big snowflake, but the whole character underwent a 180-degree reversal. The smart and cute little girl before is gone, but has become a silly and selfish big girl. Extremely selfish, tantrums, and irresponsible, everything is self-centered.
Small snowflakes support the play, so big snowflakes completely ruin the play.
Actor Zhou is still a new young powerful actor, who has starred in many high-quality works over the years, such as "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy", "Coward", "Sanyue Has a New Job", etc., especially "Sanyue Has a New Job" is already an annual word-of-mouth hit in 2022. But who would have thought that now the big snowflake she performed has become the object of public complaints, and it can be regarded as self-destructive.
From the plot point of view, the plot in the middle and late stages is completely a youth bloody love drama. Crushes, love triangles, sibling loves, etc., emerge one after another. In the love triangle, Dongfang Hong and Yang Siyu, two good brothers who have played since childhood to adulthood, quarreled over love and once parted ways. After that, Yang Siyu broke his leg and broke up again. Later, Snowflake broke into Beijing alone and reconciled with Dongfang Hong, but rejected Yang Siyu, and Dongfang Hong also gave up his star career for love.
In terms of secret love and sibling love, Ming Zhong rejected Yan Bing because of personal physical problems, but fell in love with a divorced daughter with a child 6 years older than him, which directly made Yan Bing collapse, drunk, violated, and accidentally removed the uterus during pregnancy and abortion. Of course, in the end, Ming Zhong and the divorced woman also broke up, and they still got along with Yan Bing.
After a big turn, I still returned to the original point. Everything is designed to conflict for the sake of conflict, and the result is bloody and outrageous.
In the last two episodes, my grandmother died of cancer, and teacher Song Chunli gave a wonderful performance to save some word of mouth.
In short, "Our Day" also became "Bad Days".
Finally, let's take a look at "Sending Spring Home".
"Wind and Rain Send Spring Home", as an anti-corruption drama after "Crazy", has been tested and broadcast on local TV stations earlier, but there is no splash, and finally after modification, it has been re-listed on the star Yangba, although it is also complaining constantly, but the ratings have soared one after another, still attracting many viewers.
However, there are also many problems from the actors to the plot.
In terms of actors, Yu Zhen changed his face to Zhao Lixin, which can be said to have persuaded many audiences. The four different actors made the audience feel puzzled, Yu Zhen, who had a bad reputation, lost a lot of reputation this time because of changing his face.
Of course, in addition to Yu Zhen, there are also supporting roles that are difficult to say.
Lu Nuo, Wang Like, Guo Dongdong, Wang Ruoxue, Wei Ni played by Mai Siyuan, Lin Miaoxue, Zhao Xiaojun, Zhao Xiaoyan, Liu Yang, one is worse than the other. The pompous style performance represented by Runo can be said to be prevalent in the play, Runo's Max Siyuan really allows us to see a very different overlord, but also the boss of the black and evil forces, compared to Zhang Songwen's Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy", it is really a heaven and an underground.
In terms of plot, it is not until now that Yu Zhongjun's case is gradually getting better, and before it was loose and chaotic, the main line was unknown, and the main and secondary were not divided, resulting in the entire plot being too dull and without suspense, and each case was a tiger. Although the scale is large, it has no details, and it is not as ups and downs as "Crazy", which is fascinating.
"Wind and Rain Send Spring Home" is also about to usher in the finale, and now the entire plot is still quite compact, the battle between good and evil is more and more exciting, compared to the previous one, it has saved some word of mouth, but overall it is still disappointing.
Of course, the performance of the drama bone Wang Zhiwen in the play is still remarkable, but because of the above problems, it is also dragged down.
"Nine Bends of Love" is also high and low, and the plot behind is also quite bloody, which is also regrettable.
In the first two months of 2023, CCTV can be described as two days of ice and fire, on the one hand, the word-of-mouth explosion of "Crazy" and "Three-Body Problem", on the other hand, the word-of-mouth overturn of "Dawn East", "Our Day", "Wind and Rain Send Spring Home" and "Love Full of Nine Bends", of course, Yangyi is even worse. Through the first two months, for CCTV, it is really necessary to reflect well, strengthen review, and improve the quality of works, rather than all dramas.
