I thought it was a bad drama, but it was the first in satellite TV ratings when it was broadcast, and Gao Weiguang made the urban drama a hit
To ask which type of national drama is the least "popular".
Urban workplace dramas are definitely ranked first.
It can not only rot the plot routines to be the same, but also rotten and strangely flowers in the routines.
The routine of most domestic urban dramas is that all industries have to come and fall in love with me, it is not important to do the right thing, and the logic does not make sense, in short, you must love when you die.
The industry elites who have loved in our domestic workplace dramas over the years, including but not limited to: elite lawyers, opinion analysts, scientists, Go players, e-sports players, and even programmers who work hard to code code every day, have to raise their heads and talk about it.
It's like the leeks of an urban drama, which can never be cut.
When it comes to this, I believe that most viewers first think of Oriental Satellite TV.
In the impression of many people, if Mango TV has long become synonymous with "idol drama".
Then the urban drama represented by the urban drama led by Jin Dong is definitely the signboard of Oriental Satellite TV.
Most of the most famous "overbearing presidents" in Chinese dramas in recent years are also from Oriental Satellite TV urban dramas, such as He Yichen in "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" and Luo Bin in "Elite Lawyer".
Although there are also good works in Oriental Satellite TV's urban dramas, there are also many bad dramas, so when I first saw this urban drama led by Gao Weiguang and Zhang Yuqi, I refused in my heart.
Forget about urban dramas, look at the title of the play, "Prosperous and Brocade", good guys, isn't this a proper overlord drama?
Want me to be fooled? Don't even think about it.
But when I saw the ratings, I was shocked.
Oriental Satellite TV premiered 2 episodes, Kuyun just started broadcasting is a calm 0.16, almost at the bottom of the prime-time dramas of first-line satellite TV, what do you see I say? Urban dramas just can't work, and it's not easy for Partridge Whistle and Donghua Emperor to come.
Unexpectedly, the ratings of the show rose all the way from here, and by the end the ratings soared to 0.51, almost quadrupled from the opening, what is the situation?
The audience's eyes are bright, and a good drama can retain the audience.
If it's really a bad drama, why is the audience not only not less, but also more and more broadcast?
What is the magic of this show?
Brushed two episodes in one go, never imagined, I also went on -
First, into the play: there are routines and highlights, the comedy effect is eye-catching, the workplace drama has twists and turns, and the male and female masters are set up steadily
The drama "Prosperity Like a Brocade" is adapted from an unspoken novel.
It mainly tells the story of Su Mohe and Wang Juan, two urban men and women in Shanghai, who went from mutual vigilance to love and acquaintance in the process of getting along in the workplace.
Looking at the synopsis, I already have a strong premonition: I'm afraid this is not a hegemonic drama?
Sure enough, the setting of this play is really very "beep", but there are two kinds of beep.
The first is that you can pretend to be funny and others find it funny, you can refer to the excellent performance of well-known Chinese drama overlords such as Yang Shuo and Zhang Han.
The other is: if you act, everyone will believe it, and when they see you, they feel that the wow aura is too big. This is the highest state of hegemony.
"Prosperous Like Brocade" can turn over in my heart, the key is the overlord played by Gao Weiguang.
So, why can this drama beat the siege?
First of all, it carries the "routine" to the end, but the routine is good-looking.
The beginning of the story, from the character to the plot and theme, is completely unconventional, and does not intend to be unexpected at all, which is the set of the hegemonic drama.
Let's look at the character first.
The characters of the male and female protagonists have obvious labels.
The male protagonist Wang Ju'an, as the vice president of commercial real estate Gongsheng, has extraordinary ability, and wants to rely on his keen business acumen and decisive decision-making ability to help Gongsheng Plaza successfully transform.
In a word, the overlord who stands on top of prosperity.
The heroine Su Mo, because she helped her ex-boyfriend cheat in college, lost at the starting line of the workplace, but became a member of Yusheng with her perseverance, and eventually attracted Wang Juan's attention.
You may ask, isn't this a routine? Next is the love scene between the two people, what is this exciting? Believe it or not, I flatten you.
Don't worry, look down.
Although the routine is set, the next three big scenes where the male and female protagonists meet have completely changed my impression of the series.
First Encounter: Fitting.
The cabinet sister played by Zhang Yuqi met Ju'an, the overlord Wang Juan, who urgently returned to China to participate in the board of directors, but his luggage was lost and could only come temporarily to buy clothes.
She was originally in charge of women's clothing, but Cao Xiwen, who recommended clothes to Gao Weiguang, was disliked.
Gao Weiguang: I have a slight cleanliness fetish, is this dress easy to stain?
Cao Xiwen: People who wear this kind of clothes will not go to places where it is easy to get dust...
Hahahahahaha, Gao Weiguang's eyes can fully represent me.
The heroine saw that it was not okay, and hurriedly stood up and recommended more suitable clothes to Gao Weiguang.
Where is the best place for this male and female protagonist encounter scene? Live.
No female protagonist falls down and the male protagonist hugs +360-degree rotating slow mirror, and no female protagonist is stupid to attract the attention of the overlord.
On the contrary, there is only one chess match for the opponent's workplace encounter: a rescue, a fitting, and the female host solves the problem wisely.
After a scene, it not only explained the identity and personality characteristics of the male and female protagonists, but also paved the way for the development of the next two.
I have to say that this scene has exceeded my expectations.
Of course, a workplace urban drama is just a male and female protagonist falling in love, that is not enough.
It is also necessary to provide another main line of the workplace with a refreshing sense in order to make the audience fresh.
"Bustling" is a fusion of commercial warfare.
The setting of the male protagonist's workplace appearance is absolutely eye-catching.
As mentioned above, the male protagonist urgently returned to China to participate in the board of directors of the group, in order to avoid the auction of Gongsheng Square.
Not only to sell, the second brother of the male protagonist played by Guo Xiaoran also plans to sell it to the group's nemesis.
And just when the board of directors couldn't hold each other, the voice of the male protagonist came-"I've only been away for three years, can't you support it so quickly?" ”
As soon as the door of the board of directors opened, the male protagonist who changed into a handsome suit directly appeared in a hegemonic style, handsome and fried!
There is also a stubborn resistance: "At this time, selling Gongsheng Plaza is a timely stop loss and a steady profit." ”
Wang Juan: "Gongsheng Square is the foundation of Gongsheng, and if it is sold, it is a stable loss and no profit." ”
The president played by Tao Hong said directly: It is useless to talk more, let's vote.
Under Wang Ju'an's charming speech, all the directors raised their hands to agree to support Wang Ju'an in saving Yusheng Square, and the second brother of the male protagonist, who saw that the situation was not right, was also forced to raise his hand.
This business war drama is simple and clear, without dragging mud and water, it is enjoyable to watch, cool, and the most important thing is to shoot the male protagonist charmingly.
The real boss is definitely not like this, but the audience will be willing to believe that the boss should be like this.
The second encounter came right away: the application.
The heroine lost her job as a cabinet sister and was in a hurry to apply everywhere.
Zuo Xiaoqing's girlfriend helped her submit her resume to her company.
Originally, everything went smoothly for the interview.
Until the male protagonist appeared unexpectedly, under Wang Juan's questioning, the female protagonist only got a bachelor's degree certificate. The male protagonist was furious on the spot: Don't you all do back tuning? Everyone was silent.
The heroine chased out to explain that she was for her ex-boyfriend and took a cheating name, so her academic certificates were withheld.
The boss took pity on Xiang Xiyu and saved the heroine from fire and water?
But then that's what I think is the best thing to look at in the opening: after knowing that the heroine lost her graduation certificate because she "cheated" for her ex-boyfriend, Wang Juan not only did not pity, but became even more angry and covered his face with accusations, and pointed out to the point that "if it is for a man to top the bag, it is stupid and stupid."
Seeing this, I let out a long sigh: finally found the anti-Mary Sue type overbearing president.
The interview was yellow, Zuo Xiaoqing asked the heroine to quickly solve the problem of being complained about in the previous job, because she was just a junior who was complained of losing her job, and only by going to the mistress to apologize and withdraw this complaint can it be possible to erase this workplace stain.
This led to the third encounter of the male and female protagonists: "sharing a bed".
In order to live, the heroine had to ask the mistress played by Shi Shi and Shang Zong, and begged them to withdraw the complaint.
As a result, he encountered the second brother of the male protagonist and Shang Zong's nest of snakes and rats, seeking his own family property.
The two people looked at each other, took the opportunity to support the mistress, poured wine on the female protagonist, and then sent the female protagonist to the big bed of the male protagonist's hotel.
Next, there is the funniest chicken flying dog jumping drama at the beginning: the male protagonist wakes up to find the female protagonist in his bed, quickly pulls up the sheet and wraps himself, and then wants to wake up the female protagonist.
It's good if you don't wake up, wake up the heroine and blow it up directly!
He also carried the male protagonist to the door - "I want to call the police!" ”
"I'm going to call the police!"
Then the female protagonist pushed horizontally, pushed the male protagonist wrapped in the sheet directly out of the door, and let him shout and break his throat in the corridor.
Across the screen, you can feel the speechlessness of the overlord Wang Juan.
To be honest, this plot is really vulgar, but it is really lively and funny, and the audience also likes to watch the liveliness.
When it comes to urban workplace dramas. What the audience is annoying when they see it is -
Pretend to be the male protagonist of B.
Dragged 2580,000, shiny hair, and dressed all the workplaces as catwalks.
The second is the tedious encounter of the male and female protagonists, a glance of ten thousand years and bloody love.
Although the story of this drama is still very routine, the first 2 episodes do not put the main perspective on the emotional line of the male and female protagonists, but take the female protagonist's wit in the workplace to survive and the return of the male protagonist as the focus of the portrayal, and use the constantly reversed workplace drama to take the lead in establishing the character of the male and female protagonists.
And emotional drama and workplace drama are connected -
The first time the two met, the male protagonist prepared a suit for the return of the hegemon.
The second encounter was when the male protagonist recruited in the company.
The third encounter was when the villain teamed up to give the male protagonist the whole thing, wanting to create a peach-colored scandal and ruin the reputation of the male protagonist.
But there is always one, and the silly white sweet heroine does not.
The sister played by Zhang Yuqi is a typical "there are many good words", and she does not eat the villain at all, and the people who want to use the old lady are lined up to Paris, as far as you, there is no door.
And fate is so wonderful, the heroine never dreamed that shortly after she failed the interview, she was hired back by the president of the Gongsheng Company played by Tao Hong, and was sent to supervise the male protagonist.
What urban dramas are most afraid of is the story is pompous, contrived, falling in love for the sake of love, and then constantly dragging the drama.
"Bustling" did not make this mistake.
The beginning of the whole drama is very bright, there is no unnecessary foreshadowing, the business war workplace line and the love line go hand in hand, the characters have distinct personalities, and the relationship between the characters is intricate but clear.
Audience, into the play.
Good show, the opening.
Second, Gao Weiguang's acting skills are online, and Zhang Yuqi's CP sense has a surprise
The plot of "Bustling" is very similar to many previous urban dramas, but it is better than those series, mainly because of the right actors.
The protagonists of the series are Zhang Yuqi and Gao Weiguang, and the supporting cast includes Zuo Xiaoqing, Shi Shi, Tao Hong, Cao Xiwen, and Yes An, and there are many powerful people.
And in the first 2 episodes, there are already four acting schools whose acting skills amaze me.
The first one, Gao Weiguang.
Gao Weiguang is a late bloomer of standard acting skills, and he came out of the circle with the Donghua Emperor in "Three Lives and the Third", mainly relying on the role to curry favor.
Until "Nu Qing Xiangxi", a partridge whistle made everyone impress him.
A whole black face, an unwashed robe, still very handsome, no matter the character image, or body shape and demeanor, can not be said to be similar to the audience's imagination, can only be said to be exactly the same.
This role proves Gao Weiguang's acting skills, but even so, the boss is still not good at acting, and there are too many actors who have overturned in the past.
Unexpectedly, Gao Weiguang made the most correct demonstration in the interpretation of this kind of cool dragging hegemony.
Only he, who does not care whether he is handsome or not, but loves his profession enough, is full of charm and not greasy!
Gao Weiguang's size of one meter ninety-five is full of charm as soon as he appears, and through the design of various details, the audience can believe in the existence of this character.
Handsome, domineering, and with a somewhat humble temperament.
It also blends Wang Ju'an's narcissistic stinky fart with the professional boldness of the overlord just right.
The overlord character who is the easiest to overturn was played by him with a different spark, which really surprised me.
Look at Zhang Yuqi again.
Zhang Yuqi plays Su Mo in the play as a "Shanghai drifting girl", to be honest, I originally thought that Zhang Yuqi could not play the role of the urban Cinderella type.
But face state aside, Zhang Yuqi's performance is better than I expected.
The urban workplace woman she plays is gentle but resilient when she is a cabinet sister, and her troubles and problems can always be solved easily and convincingly in her hands.
He does not hesitate to go back to people and things that he is not used to, and he will never suffer losses, and the powerful aura he shows is amazing.
In the first 2 episodes, she naturally showed all the laughter and contradictions of the character, and the character creation is indeed not bad.
But the most surprising thing is the chemistry of the two actors.
Shirley Yang, played by Zhang Yuqi in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, is the granddaughter of "Partridge Whistle" played by Gao Weiguang.
Unexpectedly, this wonderful pair of wonderful combinations, with tacit understanding in this play, each rival scene is very interesting.
Actors who played opposite Zhang Yuqi in the past were easily suppressed by her aura, but Gao Weiguang, who is tall and big, has no problem at all.
In fact, the best opening is also the rivalry between two people, which is too important for an urban drama.
The third place is Zuo Xiaoqing.
Congrong, played by Zuo Xiaoqing, is a stabilizer in the play, beautiful, gentle, full of workplace style, frank to others, not humble and unassuming, sincere to friends.
This almost perfect role was played by Zuo Xiaoqing persuasively, in Zuo Xiaoqing's body, the audience can see the mature female charm, she is intellectually generous, not cold, gentle and powerful.
Domestic urban dramas finally have supporting actresses who are comfortable to look at.
Finally, Jia Jinghui.
Jia Jinghui, who has recently appeared in many big dramas such as "Qing Yu Nian" and "County Party Committee Compound", still performs well in this drama, playing an old fried dough stick in the workplace vividly.
Especially Wang Ju'an played by Gao Weiguang in the same elevator, he was still busy answering headhunting calls, and when he turned around, he found that this was the play of the future boss, and he played it very interestingly.
This role is also the official match of Zuo Xiaoqing in the play, the two are also competitors in their careers, it is inevitable to love and kill each other, I want to watch this pair's rival drama.
3. How to shoot urban workplace dramas? This drama may be able to make a sample
I have to say that this drama carries the label of bad drama from beginning to end: urban workplace, overlord, female grassroots upward and so on.
But the end result is far better than the audience imagined.
The point is that the performance of the series on the routine can be regarded as not out of place.
The plot is also full of anti-routines.
Abandoned the most selling dog blood routine, and arranged a variety of unexpected but reasonable plots.
In addition to being hilarious, he also lifted weights to promote the workplace line and the love line.
For example, when it's time to tear each other up, it's suddenly funny.
Just after the male and female protagonists were calculated to "share a bed", the two soon met at a parent-teacher conference.
A parent who came to be a younger sister, and the younger sister is a top student.
A parent who came to be a younger brother, and the younger brother is a scumbag.
What should have been a meeting between enemies turned out to be a meeting with in-laws.
Because the school scum fell in love with the school bully, he also took the initiative to upgrade the bicycle for the girl.
Coupled with the head teacher's counting, the two did not tear each other in embarrassment, and successfully disrupted a campus love.
Suddenly funny, dissipating meaningless dog blood.
Such a plot is closer to the public.
Moreover, the plot of the sudden change in the style of painting.
As the two deepened their relationship, the domineering president Wang Juan actually racked his brains to pursue Su Mo, and was injured internally more than once.
But the female protagonist is actually an undercover agent sent by Tao Hong to the male protagonist.
And the female protagonist said that she did not love her body but was very honest, and she could not see that Wang Juan had intimate behavior with other women, and would directly rush into the male protagonist's office to declare sovereignty.
At the same time, the play also uses comedy to lightly present a woman's upward social issue.
The above topics are actually not new, and many domestic dramas are covered with similar hot topics.
However, in terms of content processing, most of them choose to hard-pull the contradiction tension and solve the problem in a simple and crude way.
For example, turning against the original family, the big heroine in the workplace Jedi fights back, etc.
In the end, the boots are itchy, difficult to empathize, and become a suspended drama criticized by everyone.
And this drama did not turn the social pain point into a counterattack cool point, nor did it overly highlight the contradictions and conflicts.
Instead, let the story unfold unfold unquickly, there is a sense of joy, and there are also enjoyable business war workplace scenes, and the boss also has it, but it is not greasy and very handsome.
Such dramas are not many games, but they have successfully avoided most of the pits of domestic urban dramas.
In the final analysis, what the audience hates is not the hegemonic drama, but the brainless, bloody, and suspended contained in the overlord drama, but if you really want to shoot the boss's workplace love story well, it will also look good.
The horror of domestic urban dramas is not prosperity, but fake prosperity in the shell of urban dramas.
Compared with urban love dramas such as Tong Yao Zhang Xincheng's "Dark Fire" and Xiao Zhan's "The Sun Accompanies Me", "Prosperity Like a Brocade" is only an appetizer.
But on this hot summer day, it's also nice to taste an appetizer that exceeds expectations.
