Recently, the crew of the hit drama "Crazy" indicated in an interview that the sequel to this work is being prepared, and the film will be prepared in the future, and the news has made many audiences who like to watch "Crazy" ecstatic. However, some netizens are not optimistic about the shooting of the sequel, thinking that many works are dog-tailed sequels, and it is better to let "Crazy" end here.
The worries of netizens are not unreasonable, many dramas only have the first season to be able to harvest word of mouth and popularity, but because they want to rub the heat, the dog-tailed mink, the story that should have ended was filmed again and again, and the final harvest was a super low rating, and it also ruined its own reputation.
Ode to Joy series
The TV series "Ode to Joy" is a good example. At present, "Ode to Joy 4" has officially met with everyone, I believe many people are surprised, it turns out that "Ode to Joy" has been filmed for the fourth part.
In fact, this drama has begun to decline since the second part, and the reputation has plummeted compared with the first season, but netizens who have watched the first part still hold on to the end, and the score of 5.4 points is very telling.
Unexpectedly, the failure of "Ode to Joy 2" has not discouraged the idea of making a sequel, this time with a new cast, "Ode to Joy 3" has appeared again. The plot is outrageous, the actors' acting skills are not very online, and netizens have complained: It's not as good as the second part.
The score of "Ode to Joy 3" is 4.8 points, which can basically be called a bad drama, I thought that this series stopped here, but I didn't expect that the drama party still refused to give up this large flow, and filmed "Ode to Joy 4" or the sequel to "Ode to Joy 3".
Although it has just started broadcasting, but netizens are not enthusiastic about watching, this series of sequels has already caused magical damage to the audience, even the reputation of "Ode to Joy" is not good, this kind of rubbing the heat or stop, there is currently "Ode to Joy 5" has not been broadcast I hope there will be no more "Ode to Joy 6".
"Breakout"
I believe that many people have watched the TV series "In the Name of the People", which caused a great sensation as soon as it was broadcast in 2017. It focuses on contemporary procurators, takes anti-corruption and clean government as the main line, and describes the story of procurators safeguarding social fairness and justice and the unity of the legal system.
The content scale of this drama is quite large, known as the "most daring TV series" of the year, the script is online, the actors' acting skills are not bad, and a group of old drama bones are invited to star, and a "textbook-like performance" is staged. The final rating of this drama is 8.3 points, which is very high quality.
The great success of "In the Name of the People" has reassured some people, it turns out that this kind of anti-corruption TV series has such a large market, so the second part was put on the agenda. "Breakthrough" is known as "In the Name of the People 2", which mainly tells the story of strengthening the construction of clean government within state-owned enterprises and leading the further development of enterprises.
I thought that with the pearl jade of "In the Name of the People" in front, "Breakout" can greatly mobilize the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama, coupled with the joining of powerful actors such as Jin Dong, Yan Ni, Geng Le, etc., the acting skills are also guaranteed, not to mention surpassing "In the Name of the People", at least it must reach a similar level.
However, "Breakout" quietly pounced, did not make much waves after it was broadcast, and the final rating was only 5.2 points. The reason why "In the Name of the People" can be successful is that the script, actors, and audience are indispensable, not that shooting similar themes can replicate the same success.
"Mansion Gate 1912"
The TV series "Mansion Gate" broadcast in 2001 is still on the praise list, with a score of 9.4 points, which is already a ceiling level in domestic film and television dramas, and the rating was as high as 17.74% when it was broadcast that year, becoming the king of CCTV's drama in one fell swoop.
It tells the ups and downs experienced by medical practitioners from the late Qing Dynasty to the reform and opening up in the past hundred years. Guo Baochang is the director and screenwriter of this drama, based on his personal experience when he was young, vividly and vividly portraying the historical trajectory of that period of change, and it is based on this that "Mansion Gate" has won the audience's deep love and recognition.
In fact, such a brilliant drama can be stopped here, and Guo Baochang himself has gained fame and fortune because of this drama, but he did not stop there, continued to shoot the sequel "Mansion Gate 1912", and once again worked hand in hand with Chen Baoguo and Siqin Gaova in an attempt to reach new heights.
However, this drama greatly disappointed them, the previous work was as high as 9.4 points, and the sequel was only 5.6 points, and was ridiculed by netizens as a bad film, and director Guo Baochang was also considered by netizens to rub the heat and sell feelings. The reason is that the script and characters are not polished enough, many netizens have said that the characters of several important characters have collapsed, coupled with the situation of changing roles and actors, the audience's sense of substitution is not enough, and when the two works are compared, they naturally feel that the sequel is a dog-tailed sequel.
"Huan Zhu Gege"
This TV series is the favorite work of many post-90s children, and when it was broadcast, it swept the whole of Asia and became a classic. Even if it seems that some plots may be a little "ruined three views", but the flaws are not hidden, the ups and downs of the plot, the characters with distinct personalities, coupled with the high appearance of the actors, it is normal to reach a rating of 8.5.
The second part continues the wonderful performance of the first part, on the basis of not changing the original character plot, new characters are added, the storyline has also developed from the palace to the rivers and lakes, the protagonist group supports each other, funny and moving in turn, whether it is sweet and moving love, or the friendship of righteous thin clouds, they are all shot vividly, and it is also a masterpiece.
However, "Huan Zhu Gege Part III" really broke the audience's defenses, the cast was almost completely changed, the protagonists' emotional lives also encountered a major crisis, the plot was outrageous, the character collapsed to the point of not working, Yongqi became a scumbag, Xiaoyanzi became a grudge, Erkang was captured by the enemy country, Ziwei and Zhihua who destroyed the love of her girlfriends became friends, this plot, the score can reach 5.4 points is also a high climb.
Some dramas should end at the right time, and the director and production team should not cherish the feathers for the sake of popularity and making money, and forcibly rub the heat, which will not only fail to achieve the desired result, but also ruin word of mouth and fame. Of course, this does not mean that film and television dramas cannot produce sequels, as long as the script is strictly polished, good actors are found, and filmed with sincerity, I believe there will still be audience support.
