It's time to wake up, the overturn of the new "On the wrong sedan married to Lang" has exposed the 5 tumors of domestic dramas

To be honest, domestic dramas in recent years are really taking the boutique route.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard domestic dramas go on the road of quality, once they encounter a "remake", all efforts are in vain.

Remakes are really not good!

In fact, we have known this truth for a long time, from remaking Korean dramas and Japanese dramas to remaking ancient Taiwan puppet dramas, no matter what the theme, it has basically overturned.

Put a few remake stills of "spicy eyes" casually for everyone to feel.

(Fang Xiaojing, who doesn't seem to have a very high IQ)

("Monkey" Xiaobao, who is more monkey than Sun Wukong)

(Bai Suzhen, who wants to kill Xu Xian)

(The overlord who wants to swallow billiards)

(Ye Qianyu who doesn't want to recognize it)

But I can't stand the charm of classic IP and super large IP, and the remake of classics has never stopped.

As a result, it has formed a major wonder in today's film and television industry:

Every time a remake of a new drama is broadcast, the audience can unexpectedly harvest an old fairy drama.

What showed us this spectacle this time was the "Happy Event of the Flower Palanquin" that started not long ago.

tells the story of Du Bingyan, a young lady who is also a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou, and Li Yuhu, the daughter of a martial artist, who married on the same day, and accidentally put on the wrong palanquin in the Fairy Temple due to a heavy rain, which led to a series of stories.

From the plot point of view, "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin" is a remake of "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin Married to Lang" broadcast in 2001.

Since the news that it is going to be remade, netizens have surprisingly consistent views: not optimistic.

Although the old version has poor picture quality, it is better than the beauty of the actors, the service is "exquisite", and the interlude soundtrack is good.

What's more, in just 20 episodes, 5 pairs of CPs are told, and each pair is still complete.

It is precisely for this reason that many people still look back at the old version every year.

And the new version, whether from the stills or the trailer, makes people feel very unoptimistic, except for the exquisite picture, it is not good at all.

Sure enough, the premiere overturned. Douban short comment, full screen one star.

"Outrageous! With this level of assembly line, you don't respect this story at all! ”

"A group of cosers recreating the plot..."

"If you don't remake, don't make it, if you don't have a good actor, go find it, can you have a better attitude?" Don't waste everyone's time and money. ”

"As soon as the new version is broadcast, I have to find the old version to relive it, the classic is the classic, and it is unsurpassable."

"Good news! Piracy to the original rush! ”

The broadcast of the new version, I didn't expect that the biggest benefit was the old version of "On the wrong flower sedan married to Lang".

The score of this drama on Douban was originally only 7.4, and in just a few days, the score directly rushed to 8.6.

Therefore, whether a drama is good or not, whether it is the 80s, 90s or 00s, they all have their own aesthetics and judgments.

Now that "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin" is nearing its end, some of its domestic dramas are becoming more and more unable to hide.

In fact, this new "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin" overturned, which actually exposed the 5 "tumors" of domestic dramas.

Below, through this remake, let's have a good chat.

The first type: the position is in the first place, do not know how to let

This year's domestic drama suddenly became popular with a phrase called "supporting roles are not allowed on the table".

This sentence also exposes that the audience of domestic dramas has been suffering for a long time.

The importance of the position in domestic dramas lies not only in the front and back arrangement of the actors when they are officially announced, but also in the proportion of time in the plot.

A certain ancient puppet fairy drama that was making a vigorous noise before was made for a while because of the time ratio of the male protagonist, the female protagonist, and the male and female two.

At present, there is also "Cloud Feather" because the female second scene is too "many" to cause controversy.

The trial scene is somewhat ridiculous, can only the protagonist be good in a drama?

In "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin", although there is no competition for positions between actors, in the plot, there is no word "group portrait" at all.

In order to highlight the intelligence of the heroine, many scenes that originally belonged to supporting roles were placed on the protagonist.

For example, Xiaoxi, who was robbed of the most scenes.

Xiaoxi's scene transfer is fatal for this drama.

Why does the old version have such a character as Xiaoxi, or why do you need these bridges to be inserted on Xiaoxi.

Because she is Li Yuhu's super assistant who can disguise herself in the Qi family, she is Du Bingyan's personal maid and knows everything about Du Bingyan.

In addition, she has been familiar with her ears since she was a child, can also read and write, and is smart and clever, so she can help her in critical moments.

In the original version, Xiaoxi's two rescues not only increased the drama interest, but also made the characters of the two people fuller.

Once it was the old lady who invited the female dependents of the family to eat Yangzhou dim sum together, and took the opportunity to let Li Yuhu compose poetry.

Du Bingyan may be fine, but Li Yuhu cannot.

It was Xiaoxi who made various remedies on the side, and finally amused everyone with an upside-down song, so that Li Yuhu could get through the pass.

In the new version, Yangzhou dim sum is gone, replaced by eating hairy crabs.

The screenwriter may want to use eight crabs to show Li Yuhu's understanding of martial arts heart methods, but this shot is neither effective nor good-looking.

Another time was when the two were happy after passing a level, dancing swords in the courtyard and playing, accidentally being seen by Xiao Xiao, suspecting Li Yuhu's identity.

In the old version, Xiaoxi saw the small and quickly informed Li Yuhu, and the new version became Li Yuhu himself to discover.

This small detail seems unimportant, but it also affects the character, and after Xiaoxi is beaten, the play changes from active to passive, which is quite uncomfortable.

Later, in order to show the heroine's ingenuity, the screenwriter also turned the original old lady's meticulous idea into something that the male and female protagonists came up with.

In this way, another side story full of bugs is opened, looking for the blind beggar old lady.

So the two of them traveled on the road, and they met assassins on the road, men pretended to be women, they went in and out of the casino, and they dressed up in disguise.

The scene between the two is enough, but instead of promoting the plot positively, when encountering the assassin, Li Yuhu's heroine collapsed.

Let's ask the daughter of a martial arts family, who likes to dance knives and guns on weekdays, how can she stand motionless in fear because of a sneak attack by the other party?

The only explanation is that it is for the sake of sprinkling sugar.

Heroes save beauty, slow motion, background music sounds, so sweet.

In fact, many domestic dramas do not understand that a good play requires the protagonists and supporting roles to be good-looking.

If only the protagonist is the only one, and many scenes belonging to supporting roles have not been effectively developed, how can the plot be attractive?

The second type: all the members stand on the pile to perform, a fake look

There is another big problem with "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin": fake.

No matter how gorgeous the costume of the protagonist, how chic the hairstyle, how delicate the makeup, but the feeling is - a fake look.

Almost the whole play did not go out of position, and the wooden man performed, waiting for the other party to say the lines.

Originally, there are fewer and fewer live shots now, and the scenes are all Hengdian model rooms, and there is no breath of life.

If the actors are no longer integrated into the scene, it gives people a feeling of "acting".

No matter what the environment is, everyone is sitting squarely.

The newly updated introduction to the cousin's appearance is even more a model of standing on a pile.

Just listening to my cousin's output alone, everyone is like a pre-set NPC, without emotion.

Not indoors, but not outdoors.

Take a comparison with the action of the same scene, a beauty like an ancient painting, the body shape and demeanor make people feel full of ancient charm.

The other, the scene costume action, is more like a modern person in Hanfu visiting the park, and when he is tired of walking, he will find a place to sit and rest.

There is no position indoors or outdoors, and it looks like a cosplay show for the actors.

After speaking, stand still and say the lines in turn-based format back and forth?

The third type: screenwriters love to be smart and create their own waste

In fact, the current national drama is really very lazy, and the original script cannot be said to be few, but almost none.

Almost all of the blockbuster dramas officially announced by major video platforms every year are IP adaptations, and some are still ancient romance novels.

This time's "Happy Event" is also true.

According to the drama party himself, "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin" is adapted from the novels "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin Married to Lang" and "Please Take a Look" created by Xi Xi.

It seems to be adapted from the two original books, but at the same time, the drama party bought the copyright of the original "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin Married to Lang".

So the first few episodes of this drama can be said to have been filmed one-to-one against the old version of "On the Wrong Flower Palanquin and Married to Lang" 22 years ago, and the lines are the same.

But the original version has only 20 episodes, but the new version has 24 episodes, what are these 4 extra episodes?

Here, I have to talk about the screenwriter.

These extra 4 episodes are all new plots added by the screenwriter, and some of them are indeed created by mixing the original book with some new things.

Fourteen-word evaluation: Go to its essence, create your own waste, and copy it without understanding.

Let's start with some original plots that people can't watch.

First of all, on Li Yuhu's side, Ke Shizhao saw that the little couple was getting sweeter and better-looking, so he was ready to create some trouble for the little couple.

Bring her cousin Xiubo and open a line of jealousy.

This role is a fusion of several characters in the original work, and the original version was discarded during filming, but I didn't expect the new version to pick it up.

The appearance of this cousin told everyone that I was coming to rob the third son of Qi.

Did the screenwriter forget that at the beginning, the Qi family forced the Du family to marry and rejoice.

The setting is that the third son of Qi is terminally ill and can only live to 24, not the young master of the Qi family who everyone is vying to marry in.

And take the golden unicorn paragraph, and also clearly copy "Dream of Red Mansions".

There are also the side plots of Li Yuhu and Qi Tianlei mentioned earlier, which are also original.

Another pair of CP original content is also available.

After the general learned Du Bingyan's true identity, there was a passage where the general returned the silk scarf he picked up at the beginning to Du Bingyan.

The new version adds an original plot before sending the scarf.

The general invited Du Bingyan and told her to give something to the woman he liked and asked her to help the staff officer, so he showed her a portrait of the woman he liked.

As the scroll slowly opened, the painting turned out to be the appearance of Du Bingyan coming out of the lake when they first met.

Immediately afterwards, the general gave an explanation, saying that when he first saw him that night, the figure of the woman was imprinted in his heart, so he drew the appearance of the woman.

At first glance, it may sound quite romantic, but if you think about it, the logic does not make sense at all!

First of all, this painting shows a woman, only wearing an undershirt, and directly painted it like this and showing it to everyone Du Bingyan, is it abrupt? Is it inappropriate?

Then there was the situation of the first meeting that night, it should be that the general was worried that an unknown woman had broken into the barracks, and he should be worried, not fond of the strange woman.

He's a general!

You must know that the first meeting of the old version was extremely frightening for the two of them, and the general was worried that it was a fine work, and even gave Du Bingyan a dead hand.

Du Bingyan was to protect himself, and also dispersed the general's anesthesia.

Under the rendering of the background music, this section is thrilling.

How did it get to the new version here, this has become a beautiful first meeting between the two, and they miss it every day, and the screenwriter really doesn't want his brain in order to sprinkle sugar.

In fact, the original plot does not mean that it cannot be added, but if it is imposed for the purpose of sprinkling "sugar", or if it is not hard added to the plot logic and causes the character to collapse, then such an addition is not necessary.

Let's take another example.

In order to leave Jingzhou smoothly and go to the barracks, the new version of Du Bingyan came to the gate of the city to tease the woman, so as to muddle through.

If you want to say that Du Bingyan herself is everyone's show, how can she use this extremely rude method to break the game?

The screenwriter did not put Du Bingyan in mind that she is a young lady who knows how to read.

In addition, some small changes in the new version, although harmless, are also all bugs.

For example, Du Bingyan's exposure method in the barracks, the old version is that Qi Tianlei's master found Du Bingyan's daughter body by wiping sweat.

The new version was changed to watch her sweeping action, which did not change much, but this did not make more sense, it was completely unnecessary.

As well as the current domestic dramas, blindly worshiping flawless characters, the protagonist cannot have any flaws.

So the new version of Du Bingyan is portrayed as an excessively virgin person, she has no concept of right and wrong when she encounters robbery by robbers, and intercedes for bad people, without the character of the original Du Bingyan outside and soft.

What a failure.

That is to say, in "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin", in addition to shooting according to the script, the original bridges are all difficult to say.

So if it's just a script, can it really be filmed?

Other dramas may still be saved, but "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin" did not save, because the director of this drama is also "Ray".

The fourth type: the director 2 moves the world, there is no beauty

Although the script of the TV series is important, the director will shoot and will not shoot, and the effect presented is also very obvious.

Unfortunately, the director of "Happy Event" belongs to the category that will not shoot.

In fact, it will not be filmed, but it is just because the director made the mistakes that the directors of the current domestic assembly line ancient puppet dramas will make.

The shots of this play are not aesthetically pleasing, and the director only used 2 moves to shoot the entire drama.

The first trick, the face shot does not stop, and the camera movement is even more crazy cutting.

Blurring + face has become the standard shooting mode of domestic ancient puppet dramas, and many dramas have such problems before.

Because the shooting is not good, many live-action pictures look like cutouts.

In "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin", this skill is used to the extreme.

At any time in the play, the camera is frequently switched, from a close-up of one protagonist to a close-up of another protagonist, whoever speaks the camera is facing whom, and the camera language is completely 0.

Sometimes it is still the angle of death to shoot, does the director have a "hatred" with the actor, directly amplify some imperfections of the actor infinitely, but really "shoot" ah!

In episode 10, when Qi Tianlei shook off the crime of his cousin Ke Shizhao to the old lady, the Indian TV series had to bow down after watching this lucky mirror.

Let's feel Qi Tianlei's rap output together.

Bluestone stated that this section is the original speed of the original film and has not undergone any later adjustments.

Let's just say, is such a mirror really suitable for appearing in a TV series?

And this is not just one place, but everywhere!

The second trick is to slow motion in case of indecision, freeze frame rotation BGM.

Slow-motion shooting is also a common disease in domestic dramas in recent years, but I didn't expect that in this drama, this disease has reached the point of terminal illness.

When it comes time to render emotions, slow motion and BGM are essential.

The most tragic comparison is the confrontation between Li Yuhu and Qi Tianlei's garden.

The plot of this paragraph, the previous "stealing the scene" part said a little, this time we mainly talk about the camera.

Because Li Yuhu finally passed another test, the two got carried away for a while, and celebrated with a "sword" dance with branches in the garden.

Although the old version uses a stand-in, it can be seen that several moves are still designed to a certain extent, and there are back and forth.

But when it comes to the new version here, don't make tricks, trouble.

Directly put the three-piece set on the neat.

So there is a slow-motion star-to-eye dance between Qi Tianlei and Li Yuhu in the unchanged BGM.

This situation is also common in Du Bingyan and the general.

But without the filling of other details, without more real and credible interaction, and the actors' acting expressions can not keep up, only two people stand hard to look at each other.

Even if the soft light is added more, and the BGM is loud, the audience will not be able to enter the play.

The fifth type: the actor has more than enough and is not enough, and he is always almost meaningful

Maybe the actor and the role itself are not suitable, or maybe the acting skills are not pure enough, and it is really impossible to control such a role.

Or maybe under the ancient puppet assembly line industry, everyone already has a patterned performance routine.

In short, no matter what the point, judging from the presentation in the play, these actors did not give the audience a performance that the audience felt OK.

Tian Xiwei, who plays Li Yuhu, has always been a big-eyed sweet girl.

The sweet place for her in the play is very sweet, but when it is time to show other emotions, she has more than enough energy.

The meeting with Du Bingyan in the first episode presents an epic embarrassing scene.

Since the two are so unfamiliar, why should they worship sisters?

I hope the actresses know that sweetness and spirit are not a concept.

The old version of Li Yuhu played by Huang Yi is also flexible and cute, and the new version is indeed inferior in comparison.

Qi Tianlei, played by Ao Ruipeng, is even worse.

The inappropriate makeup made him unrecognized by netizens from the beginning, and one said, this dark circle is indeed heavy.

In the later stage, his makeup was indeed a little better, and at the same time, we discovered that his eyes really couldn't open.

Whether it was facing outsiders or just him and Li Yuhu, his eyes were in a state of confusion most of the time.

Obviously, when he opened his eyes, he was still a very spirited young man.

And his acting skills have not been able to play a stoic son who is weak on the surface but actually has a black belly (praise).

The third son of Qi played by Nie Yuan, who was sick and weak in front of the people, was naughty after the people, and his fight with Li Yuhu was actually his nature.

It is precisely because of this contrast that makes this character attractive, but the new version fails to show the contrast of this character, which is a pity.

Although the other pair of CPs have few scenes, they don't want to escape with their acting skills.

Du Bingyan's appearance suitability is not much to say, the picture directly above is the most intuitive, and the acting skills are difficult to evaluate.

Just ask, these expressions, can you see what emotions she wants to express?

Yuan Unyielding's actor also encountered the situation of unsuitable appearance and substandard acting skills, and he performed the whole process with a frown from beginning to end.

The only good thing is that most of the scenes of these two have been cut in half in the new version.

Of course, in addition to the starring role, the supporting roles of this drama are almost all unprofessional.

Simply put, no one has entered the role, they themselves do not believe in the role they play, and how can the effect be good.

From this drama, it can be found that the assembly line ancient puppet acting skills of internal entertainment may be passable, but once there is a template in front, it will make people discover a cruel fact at once.

It turns out that in addition to being enough, acting skills can also be flexible, can be better, and can also make people into the play.

There is contrast to hurt, and contrast can wake us up:

What kind of film and television dramas can and should we see.

In fact, the emergence of "Happy Events in the Flower Palanquin" also gave a wake-up call to the next domestic dramas that want to be lazy.

There is no good drama that does not take effort, if you still just want to shoot casually and go away from the assembly line to fool things, the audience will be the first to not agree.
