The ratings of "Homecoming" have always been high, which is really a mystery.
This play is definitely the most "water" big production in the past two years, and there is no one.
Everyone watches idol dramas keen to find sugar in glass slag, but in the barrage of "Home", from time to time a wave of netizens begged the screenwriter:
Add some plot!
Idol dramas contain too much sugar, and it is easy to force people out of diabetes.
This drama, say bad can't, the picture is very exquisite, beautiful like a MV.
Let's talk about literature and art, let alone Jing Boran and Tan Songyun have nothing serious to do except kiss and hug. If it's not sweet, it's embarrassing.
There are few idol dramas that allow you to be embarrassed to go out within five minutes no matter when and from which episode you open.
According to the comprehensive data of the Taiwan network, "Homecoming" has led the way since its launch, and Tan Songyun's own popularity is even higher than the list.
On the one hand, the Douban score fell off the passing line, and there were many one-star and two-star bad reviews, on the other hand, Tan Songyun's fans forcefully honored her, in addition to putting data, but also emphasizing that she needs a strong sense of belief in acting. (No, there is no plot, it all depends on the actor with a sense of faith)
As expected, Yang Dad's "Love Only" was launched, and the data of "Homecoming" suddenly rolled down.
Mean words are coming.
Soon someone said that """The Way Home" is the road to the destruction of Tan Songyun's ratings myth".

This can also be understood as the fact that today's Tan Songyun has made his peers feel oppressed.
On this year's Weibo night, 85 flowers appeared in groups, which was bright and lively, but there was a sense of fatigue that could not be concealed. Since they returned to Hengdian en masse last year, they were judged to be coffined: after running away for half their lives, they are still idol dramas when they return.
The 90 flowers who fully took over the battlefield seemed to be Yang Zi and Di Li Gerba facing the gong and drumming.
In fact, Tan Songyun, who did not arrive at the scene, had already been crowned king by his actual performance.
No need to deliberately recall, you can casually mention many representative roles of Tan Songyun: Chun Guiren, Geng Geng, Yuan Jinxia, Li Jianjian, Ning Meng, Cheng Xiao...
If you rely on a drama to become famous overnight, it cannot be said that there is no element of luck.
But Tan Songyun is really not, in recent years, her works broadcast and online broadcast performance is very eye-catching, has a good reputation, good data.
The fire's "Under the Brocade" and "In the Name of the Family", one pressed for several years, and the other with controversial themes, were both revitalized by Tan Songyun.
Last year's two workplace dramas "Please Call Me Director" and "Walking to the Wind" were not criticized as idol dramas dressed in the guise of the workplace.
In the main theme drama "Where Our Heart Goes in the Decade" unit, she also has a stunning performance and is highly compatible with the role.
Many people believe that Tan Songyun's advantage lies in a baby face, smoothing and injecting a strong girlish feeling in actresses of the same age, and she plays that kind of energetic girl who is completely natural.
In "In the Name of the Family", 30-year-old Tan Songyun plays a little sister for 21-year-old Song Weilong, Li Jianjian seems to be tailored for her, and the plot of brother-sister love does not cause ethical barriers, and it is difficult to have this effect for other actresses.
But Tan Songyun said: "When I first entered the industry, someone said, little girl, babyface can't play the protagonist, I said silently in my heart, not necessarily!" Later, I played the leading role, I remember questioning, I remember encouragement, and I will always maintain the original intention of love. ”

Tan Songyun's love starts with running tricks. Without background and resources, 15-year-old art candidates have just entered the entertainment industry, and no one cares.
Beijing Film Academy, she took the exam twice before she was admitted. The first cultural class was 20 points behind, and it took a lot of money to repeat the study, and it was a little difficult for ordinary working families. When Tan Songyun hesitated, her mother said: "As long as it is what you want, parents will also give it to you by smashing pots and selling iron." ”
The second time, she was admitted.
In Nortel's senior year, Tan Songyun auditioned for "The Legend of Zhen Huan". She sent a video of eating pastries to the director team, and she starred in the naïve nobleman who loves to eat.
But she didn't eat the dividends of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and for the next five years, she continued to run tricks.
Until "Whirlwind Girl" played the female number three Fan Xiaoying, the vigorous vitality of her body was noticed.
In those years, online dramas were in their infancy and the budget was limited. And youth dramas have always had a problem, looking for an age suitable for newcomers, most of the acting skills are worrying, reading the lines like an endorsement, idol drama actors who have several years of acting experience, the image is less clear and vibrant.
Such an awkward no-man's land is just right for Tan Songyun to show his strength.
The year after "Whirlwind Girl" was broadcast, 26-year-old Tan Songyun and 19-year-old Liu Haoran partnered in the campus drama "The Best of Us". Tan Songyun is full of aura, and the combination of Liu Haoran also makes the audience "lingering".
On the road of youth dramas, Tan Songyun has deeply cultivated, although most of them are small-cost productions, or there are not many non-female lead dramas, but they finally have a place in the film and television industry.
A year after "Whirlwind Girl", Tan Songyun tested the water of ancient puppet dramas, and "Under the Brocade" is the best resource she can get. Unfortunately, this drama with ordinary production and plot has been backlogged for two years before it is broadcast.
Surprisingly, "Under the Brocade" broke through as a dark horse and caught fire that year. Commentators generally believe that this drama is the two leading actors, relying on the acting skills of Ren Jialun and Tan Songyun.

After the broadcast of "Under the Brocade" in 2018, Tan Songyun was like a hanging, a masterpiece, she not only has a large number of die-hard career fans, but also TV ratings that traffic stars do not have.
From the age of 28 to 30, Tan Songyun finally became one of the first-line actresses, with a baby face, and smoothly transitioned from a youth drama to a workplace drama, a family drama, and a main theme drama.
Low-key filming, no scandals, career is good.
No one could have imagined that she was experiencing the darkest moment of her life.
On New Year's Day 2019, Tan Songyun's mother died in a car accident, and the perpetrator fled on the spot, making Tan's mother miss the best time to rescue.
Tan Songyun began a long road to chase the murderer, she did not use her identity as a public figure to create public opinion pressure, but was maliciously slandered by online rumors, did not accompany her mother in front of her bed, but fell in love happily with Ou Hao.
The fact is that the date of the photo on Weibo has been deliberately changed, and the intention is obvious. Tan Songyun did not come forward to clarify, and she suspended all work at that time. Later, He Jiong couldn't look past it, and invited Tan Songyun to appear on the variety show "Longing for Life" to explain the situation.
Finally, after more than a year of tortuous and complicated evidence collection and trial process, the case was settled in September 2020, and the perpetrator was sentenced to six years in prison.
The following year, there was such a clip in the hit "In the Name of the Family", Li Jianjian said to the stars in the sky: Mom, did you see it? At this time, everyone has learned what happened to Tan Songyun, and the barrage is full of distress for her. Perhaps at that moment, Tan Songyun was not only Li Jianjian, but also herself, and she wanted her mother to see the results of her efforts for so many years.
In a variety show, Tan Songyun said bluntly: "For two whole years, I have been healing myself and making myself accept the fact that my mother is no longer there. ”

"The Way Home" is Tan Songyun's worst reputation in the past ten years.
You can see that she has worked hard.
Even in the screenwriter's passive script, she mobilized a strong sense of conviction and looked at the wooden opponent Jing Boran with 100% eager eyes.
Some people also questioned that Tan Songyun was still playing a high school student at the age of 33? Tough girlishness, but the eyes have long lost the innocence of the past.
Under the double grind of years and pain, who can live forever as a naïve fool?
Obviously, Tan Songyun intends to use "The Way Home" to try to transform, from a girl to a mother, which is the largest span of her past roles.
The actress will inevitably usher in a transition period after the age of 30, and if she succeeds, Hua Dan becomes Qingyi; Missed, stopped at idol dramas, just like the embarrassment of 85 flowers: half a life away, return is still an ancient doll.
Times do not wait for people.
But the problem is that Tan Songyun really does not need to seek transformation in idol dramas. Idol dramas look at appearance, is her shortcoming, her meticulous and layered acting skills can only be brought into play in the dense and ups and downs of the plot.
Yang Yang, Di Li Gerba and other top god combinations can play the clear soup and little water "You Are My Glory" to a small fire, just imagine the same script, replaced by Jing Boran and Tan Songyun, I am afraid it will be as embarrassing as "Homecoming".
After "The Way Home", Tan Songyun's next play cooperated with Xu Kai, which is still an idol drama.
It can only be said that the market needs Tan Songyun, has national popularity, has acting skills, and needs her such a "ratings myth" in the situation of 85 to 95 flowers being too green and yellow.
Idol dramas bring high traffic to the platform, and stars can also get more platform resource feedback, which seems to be a win-win situation.
But cookie-cutter idol dramas are a great consumption for actors, not only consuming past word of mouth, but also consuming actors' enthusiasm for performance in patterned performances.
Tan Songyun, you could have not bowed to the market, the gain was not worth the loss!
