Oh, friends, today we are going to talk about the youth campus drama that people love and hate - "Minglong Boy". Sit tight? I'm going to start my show!
First of all, the show opens with a group of teenagers and girls running on a sunny playground, with brisk music playing in the background. Hey, isn't this an old routine we're familiar with? But don't rush to change the channel, because the next plot development is ridiculous.
Let's start with the protagonist Xiao Ming (pseudonym, of course), a boy who seems ordinary but hides a big secret. One moment he can see the future, and the other he can travel through time and space to rewrite the history homework. Wait, isn't this a superhero movie? I really want to ask the director, isn't it good to occasionally take online classes and catch up on dramas on campus? Do you have to train all the children to be agents of the Time Authority?
Moreover, this so-called "Narryu Academy", every character is as flawless as stepping out of the manga. For example, Li Hua (also a pseudonym), the head of the Xueba class, is smart enough to casually recite the capitals of all countries in the world, and Zhang Qiang (still a pseudonym), a sports commissioner, has good motor nerves enough to win the championship in track and field competitions. Is this school an enrollment or a draft?
Let's take a look at how you play with the camera, Mr. Director! Every time Xiao Ming and his friends face difficulties, the camera will always give us a close-up for no reason - messy hair in the wind, sad and deep eyes. I just want to say: dear director, we need a solution to the problem, not an attack on appearance!
And then there's the rhetorical questions and rhetorical devices!"Do you really think friendship can conquer everything?" "Should love be invincible?"Oh my God, that sounds like a lot of sense! But here's the question: Are we watching a play or are we listening to a philosophy class?
And what I love the most is the wonderful comparison between the false and the real. I remember that there was a scene where Xiao Ming rescued the heroine Xiao Fang (still a pseudonym), who was about to fall and her books were flying all over the ground, and suddenly all the students in the school applauded and cheered. To be honest, in real life, if a dropped bag can attract such an enthusiastic response, then I would be willing to try the book all over the place every day.
Truth be told, "The Singing Dragon Boy" is indeed evocative – although it may have given us more confusion than emotion as "who could write such a bizarre script".
Finally, to sum up: "The Singing Dragon Boy" tells us what it means to be an adolescent adventure in its unique and absurd way. While adolescence itself is dramatic enough, it doesn't seem necessary to add a tenfold amount of drama to the screen. But then again, such a series does provide plenty of material for us to watch and complain happily.
So, if you're planning to embark on a new round of drama pursuits, be sure to consider "Singing Dragon Boy" - at least ensure that you can enjoy the absurdity and develop gold-medal hard abs!
