In the TV drama market, as long as the words "workplace" or "urban" are marked, it seems that it has been beaten into the ranks of bad dramas.
The all-round fight of "Ode to Joy 4" also confirms this thesis again.
The fourth part, the classic big IP of the noon sun, went from being a hit to no one cared.
In the case that Douban was scored by less than 10,000 people with more than 5 points, it is really embarrassing that there is a fifth part.
Workplace dramas are indeed difficult to have good goods.
The screen is full of complaints, "Perfect Relationship", "Negotiator", "Dear Translator", and "Eye of the Storm" and so on.
Don't say it's bad, even if it's a "good" drama, most of it is not "good".
"An Home", "Dulara Promotion", "Elite Lawyer", etc.
These lineups resist the fight, the ratings are hot, and the reputation can only hover on the edge of the passing line if it is not repeatedly overturned.
Since it is difficult to gain the recognition of the audience, why is this theme still emerging one after another?
The same character and sparse plot development do not require much effort in the script and picture presentation.
As long as the actor is powerful or brings his own traffic, there will always be someone to watch.
Everything is inseparable from "falling in love", good filming and good acting and hot, as for the audience's feedback, who cares.
It's clear that workplace drama is now in trouble.
Even the noon sun can't do it, who else can break this game?
Director Liu Jin can.
"Ideal City" is a stepping stone for workplace dramas to reverse the situation.
Selected by CCTV, the ratings can break 2 on the satellite TV platform, at that time, the popularity and the explosive anti-black theme side by side, the script is solid and professional, and the actors' acting skills are online.
Douban 7.5 score may not be high in the entire market, but it is already a breakthrough in the workplace theme.
This time, director Liu Jin shot again.
"Ordinary Road" will depart tonight and meet the audience at Yangba.
Similar title format, new style, but a higher level of production than "Ideal City", CCTV is the king of drama this time.
Putting aside elite white-collar workers, look at the bitterness of ordinary people in the workplace.
Can this ordinary person's ordinary road still walk out of flowers?
Let's take a look at this journey together.
First, the plot is funny, the character is novel and grounded, this is the correct way to open the workplace drama
Why is it that when you grab a lot of workplace dramas, few can have the last laugh?
The protagonist pretends to be secondary, and the emotional line of the male and female protagonists that cannot be abandoned is the fatal blow.
Under the banner of the workplace, Zhengda bright fall in love, normal people who work a day and still have kung fu that is not needed.
Exaggeration and unreality are the main reason why most workplace dramas are sprayed into the sky.
And "Ordinary Road" focuses on rookies in the workplace, and there is no emotional line between the protagonist groups are the masters of business.
Slightly funny in the sadness, this is the right way to open a workplace drama.
1. The "trio who do big things" is crazy on Oita
Watching the trailer for the first time, I couldn't keep my mouth shut with a smile.
The three protagonists of "Ordinary Road", two men and one woman, have different personality backgrounds and distinct characteristics.
The first is the male No. 1 Pan Yan, a well-deserved "mouth cannon king".
As far as his broken mouth is concerned, he fortunately entered the lawyer profession, and his kung fu has a place to play.
Others quarreled fiercely, and he was the first to rush up to be a peacemaker.
The comparison and attitude are extremely sincere, and the most important thing is the mouth that can't stop, and the other party is stunned when he hears it.
Do you think that this is another brainless male protagonist with low emotional intelligence and recklessness?
Superficial.
If it was really difficult, this brother immediately shut up and observed the situation on the side, seizing the opportunity and running.
Anyway, there is him everywhere, but it is still a bit of a heart.
But as soon as he talked about gossip, he immediately became energetic.
Last second, he also said that he could be an "emotional garbage can", and he turned his head and forgot about it after listening to it.
But as soon as he heard the heroine ask about his family affairs, his eyes instantly lit up: What is your family?
The second is Zuo Na, who is an officer Lisuo but cannot escape the attributes of a comedian.
Although she is still only a trainee lawyer at the beginning of her career, Zuo Na already has a clear strong female aura.
Say the same thing.
When someone started a dispute, Pan Yan immediately stepped forward to adjust and confuse the other party with his "three-inch tongue".
And Zuo Na, the first time she raised her mobile phone, coldly eyed, and did not say a word is to engage in evidence.
This sister seems to be an outsider: I shoot a video line, anyway, it is Mo Laozi.
Do you think that this heroine is a "heartthrob" with a common halo shining?
Superficial again.
On the surface, she looks like a glamorous strong woman, but in fact, she can't shake off the baggage of comedy.
To report to the leader, she did psychological work in the bathroom.
I also sorted out my hairstyle and silently gave myself a thumbs up.
Before the opening remarks were finished, Zuo Na directly fell a "dog eats".
She was lying on the ground, one foot up.
Just before Zuo Na could react, the leader's concerned words had already blurted out.
Normal people always have to help their subordinates first.
The eldest brother turned around directly and lifted up the fallen suitcase.
You two don't laugh at me.
The last one is "Brother Meaning" Shu Yinan.
It's really hard.
He is the most educated of the three and has the best family, but the third-rate small law firm he entered caused great dissatisfaction among his parents.
Perhaps he spent all his energy on studying as a student, and he didn't know anything about human relations.
In order to solve the matter entrusted by the customer, Shu Yinan and Zuo Na found his ex-wife.
Just when Zuo Na hesitated how to speak, Shu Yinan came directly without any scruples, "We are your ex-husband's friends."
The other party's smile disappeared instantly.
Zuo Na, who was standing on the side, was directly speechless: Can you roll for me.
The reason why he is called "Brother Meaning" is because Shu Yinan has always been on the road to find "meaning".
What's the point of doing this, then what's the point of doing it.
Although it is three times, he also represents the so-called college students who "can't take off their long robes" today.
2. All aspects are real, this workplace is simply "playing me"
The male protagonist in the domestic drama finally has a small ordinary man who can ride a bicycle to work and live in a tin house.
In the already narrow corridors, there are still debris piled up in front of each house.
This is Pan Yan's home, and it is also the home of our ordinary people.
You are greeted by a small crowded room.
Open plan kitchenette full of pots and pans.
In this space, you can imagine the smell of oil smoke all over the house when stir-frying.
The conditions of the heroine's home are obviously much better, but it is also a breath of life.
There is also a small gazebo, which can barely seat about three people.
The windowsill is full of flower pots, and this little day is pleasant enough.
The economic situation is average, but you also have to take care of your own acre and three points of land.
When she learned that her son's love and career had encountered ups and downs, she made two bottles of wine.
Before Pan Yan had time to take off the shirt he was wearing at work, he smiled and clinked glasses with his mother.
Drink some when you are not satisfied, but a simple scene can hit people's hearts.
Several trailers, none of the scenes are deliberately written tightly, but every frame shows the "ordinary" of the characters.
Even when Shu Yinan gushed about the meeting, the performance of others was simply "playing me".
Play with your phone, reply to messages, and pick your fingers if you are bored.
"If we live this life, we have to live happily, and we must live worthwhile and vigorously."
Write the truth of life by portraying the ordinary life of ordinary little people.
This trick is really high.
Second, the cast is full of surprises
The cast of "Ordinary Road" is not ranked at all in many CCTV dramas, but if you look closely, it is all surprises.
1. The protagonist group is super adaptable
Guo Qilin, Jin Chen, and Yan Zidong.
One speaks crosstalk, one is not a top chief actor, and one does not know.
Seeing the name of this servant, I believe most of the audience thinks so.
You must know that director Liu Jin has directed many popular dramas such as "One Servant and Two Masters", "Cliff" and "White Deer Plain".
I have worked with so many big coffee, how can I choose such three actors this time.
When I watched their characters and performances in the short film, I had to sigh again at director Liu Jin's vision of casting.
Their fit with the role is too high.
Guo Qilin.
Simple and loyal looks, a little handsome when placed in the pile of people, it is relatively ordinary when it stands in the star.
Isn't this Pan Yan's setting, ordinary and ordinary, plus the "artistic edification" he has received since childhood.
The master of nonsense has had a face since then.
Jin Chen, roll your eyes.
She was originally informal, and her personality was a bit "master".
Zuo Na is constantly nagging a broken mouth, on the other hand, emotional intelligence is worrying, a mouth is a critical hit, this unique job of rolling eyes is really not in vain.
Yan Zidong.
One meter eighty-three, looking talented, really a little stupid.
This role does not need much acting skills, and judging from Yan Zidong's performance in "Walking to the Wind" and "Thirty Only", it can be regarded as a hand-held pinch.
These three people are a perfect match.
2. The supporting role is all powerful
The supporting characters do not seem to have A-list stars, but they are all recognized as powerful.
The big beauty Zhu Zhu removed her heavy makeup in the play and appeared in the scene.
She is both mature and a middle-aged woman with a slight charm.
Zhang Zixian.
In the play, he plays the boss of a rookie lawyer.
In "Rebel", Zhang Zixian is a treacherous and cunning villain, and "Journey of Ten Thousand Miles" is a hero who pokes the audience's tears.
It's also time for the treasure actor to be discovered by the public.
Wang Zhifei and Li Naiwen need not say more.
Wang Zhifei is a national first-class actor and a well-deserved old drama bone.
The plasticity is extremely high, Chen Duxiu in "Hitting the Water", Gao Mingyuan in "Sweeping Black Storm", and "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and so on.
Various themes, positive and negative characters are casual, Wang Zhifei just has the strength to play the supporting role as the protagonist.
Li Naiwen, a versatile and low-key powerful middle-aged actor.
In the same era, modern dramas are all hand-to-hand, and the CCTV drama "Our Day" portrays the male protagonist Wang Xianping into three points.
This time there was no pressure.
There is also a group of "Human World" squads that quietly "sneaked" into "Ordinary Road".
Sui Junbo, who once played Hao Dongmei, plays lawyer Lan He in the new drama.
This time she tied a low ponytail and was extremely capable in a professional suit.
It's like a career-oriented strong woman.
There is also Xu Baihui who plays Yu Hong, and Wang Daqi, who plays Xiao Guoqing, who made a surprise appearance.
The adaptability and acting skills are all alive, and this wave is definitely a gathering of powerful people.
"Love not only the dazzling, exciting parts of life itself, but also life itself."
"Love the prosaic, desperate and struggling."
Life goes on, the battle doesn't stop.
Can ordinary people live a different life?
Let's meet together tonight's Central Eight prime time.
"Ordinary Road" is about to begin.
