Recently, there have been a large number of outrageous episodes in some TV series, which have seriously damaged the audience's viewing experience. Shocking and disgusting scenes such as "Naked Bottoms" and "Black Eighth Route Army" continue to appear, which shows that some directors have lost their face to the point of not even wanting the basics in order to win attention.
This kind of inferior means of deviating from common sense and playing with the audience's IQ has seriously lost the trust of the audience.
From the infighting of the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese drama, to the Triton performances of the characters in the martial arts drama, to all kinds of heavy-tasting scenes, it is unbearable. What's more, many plots also distort history and praise chaos and evil, leading to extremely bad social impacts.
What are the directors thinking, what are they doing in the first place? We need to have a deep discussion and reflection on this.
This vulgar method of ignoring the audience's feelings and blindly grabbing eyeballs has seriously affected the overall quality of film and television works and the situation of bad money driving out good money. If it cannot be corrected in time, it will only further deteriorate the entertainment environment and mislead the audience's values.
In the face of such chaos, we must take decisive measures to curb it in order to get the TV series back on track.
Recently, the plot settings in some anti-Japanese dramas are very unbelievable and seriously distort historical facts. For example, in an anti-Japanese drama, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had a dispute when they were queuing up for food in the canteen, which eventually turned into internal riots, and even threw steamed buns at each other.
This kind of counterintuitive plot is not only grossly inaccurate, but also has the suspicion of degrading the image of the anti-Japanese protagonists, portraying them as losers who hate each other rather than united victors.
What's even more outrageous is that in another anti-Japanese drama, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army was captured by the Japanese army and was tortured by a female Japanese commander using a beauty trick. The Eighth Route Army finally had a relationship with this female commander.
This is undoubtedly an extreme blasphemy and gross distortion of history. The martyrs regarded death as their home and swore to defend their homeland to the death. To be described as a loser who will collapse at the moment is simply an insult to the martyrs.
This kind of method of distorting history and reversing right and wrong has seriously damaged people's historical memory and value orientation, and will have an extremely bad impact on the vast number of young people in particular.
Have the directors considered what kind of misunderstanding of the martyrs and history will be caused by their low-level means of deviating from historical facts and reversing black and white? While they promote heroism and patriotism, they use this means to tarnish heroes and history.
We must face up to this dangerous tendency of historical nihilism and subversion of history in order to avoid film and television works from further distorting the public's historical memory. Otherwise, the so-called anti-Japanese theme will become nothing more than a tool to create eyeballs, and the real historical significance will be lost.
Recently, some well-known emotional dramas have appeared in distorted depictions of ethical relationships, which seriously challenge the audience's moral bottom line. For example, in the classic "Deep Love and Rain", the heroine Ruping and her sister Bai Ping fell in love with the male protagonist Zhang Yunshan at the same time, forming a distorted triangular relationship.
In order to pursue true love, Ruping did not hesitate to betray her sister and lead her as her rival. This distorted concept of sisterhood and ethics subverts people's basic understanding of family ethics and misleads the audience into thinking that betraying relatives can also justify love.
In addition, in another famous emotional drama "Mother's Wife", the male protagonist Gao Yaozong is portrayed as a typical scumbag image. After his wife gave birth to two children for him, he chose to return to the family because the rich girl could not have children.
This distorted notion of marriage promotes the fact that men can break their vows and emotionally betray their wives as they please. In the ending, Gao Yaozong can also be reunited as sincere, and he is beautifying the scumbag's behavior.
This undoubtedly provides an excuse for bad men in society to behave, and it also seriously affects the audience's perception of marriage.
Has the director considered what kind of bad impact such a distorting and subversive plot will have on society? The worldview values of young people are still in their formative years, and if they are misled by such negative influences, they may cause irreparable damage.
We must be vigilant against this unhealthy trend of distorting human ethics and morality, and mold young people with positive values, instead of misleading people's children.
Recently, some costume dramas and action movies have shown characters who have completely ignored the basic laws of physics, creating a large number of scenes that Newton would not believe. For example, in the costume drama "The Wind Rises", when the hero and heroine fell from the cliff, not only did they not fall to their death, but they rode firmly on horseback, and later the male protagonist easily turned around on the cliff, which simply fooled the audience's IQ.
This kind of performance technique that ignores the basic rules of physics has seriously affected the logic of the plot and the audience's perception.
Equally absurd are many car chase scenes from action movies. When two cars collide head-on, the vehicles will tumble and fly in slow motion, and the character will be thrown into the air, unscathed.
This kind of repeated rubber man-style performance technique has long caused visual fatigue to the audience. It's understandable that the drama pursues a thriller effect, but this low-level method of deliberately creating an impact has seriously hurt the audience's intellect.
In this regard, it seems that directors should rethink their creative methods. Movies should faithfully reflect real life and cannot be completely detached from the laws of physics. Performances also need to be performed according to the basic limits of the human body.
If it only creates a visual impact without disregarding the sense of reality, it is not only easy to arouse the suspicion of the audience, but also reduce the aesthetic value of the work. Just as a lie doesn't become truth because it's repeated many times, this low-level means doesn't really appeal to the audience because of its frequent use.
We expect the director to respect the audience and pursue authentic expression, rather than continuing to create absurd eyeball gimmicks.
In recent years, in order to reduce costs, some TV series have used a large number of cheap special effects lenses, which has seriously affected the viewing effect. For example, in the costume drama "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", the crew invited "Ali Baba" to play the fox spirit, which simply made the fox into a cartoon, which was completely inconsistent with the real person, and the difference in the quality of the special effects made people laugh and cry.
This fully exposes the crew's extreme stinginess in special effects investment and disrespect the audience's choice.
The same problem also exists in modern dramas, where the plane chase scenes in "City of Streamers" are repeatedly looped, and the whole special effects scene is very cheap. This obvious quality problem not only fails to attract the audience, but directly invites ridicule.
The audience pays for film and television works, and there are certain requirements for the quality of the picture. If the crew refuses to even invest in basic special effects, it will only make the audience feel deceived.
The quality of special effects is directly related to the viewing experience, which needs to be fully realized by the crew. You can't be stingy with your input, and you should build integrity with your audience. At this stage, China's special effects technology is actually getting better and better, and if we give sufficient budget support, we are fully capable of creating sophisticated special effects.
The crew should not degrade the quality because of financial problems, and should fully discuss with the investor to strive for better special effects quality, rather than casually perfunctory, which will only make the audience leave the scene in laughter.
In recent years, there have been a lot of costume mistakes in some episodes, which seriously damaged the pleasure of watching movies. For example, in the modern drama "Programmer is So Cute", the heroine chooses to dress as a man in order to break through in the IT industry.
But her smoky makeup and long, curly false eyelashes make her look more like she's going to a nightclub flirtatious than writing code at work. The contrast of this shape is very strong, which directly destroys the audience's sense of dramatic involvement.
The same problem also appears in many anti-Japanese dramas, where female characters fight in sundresses or cheongsam heels, which is completely inconsistent with the historical background of the time. The audience's expectation for historical dramas is to obtain a certain historicity, and if the scene is dressed contrary to historical facts, it will directly break the authority.
Just to cater to the visual preferences of some audiences, without considering the overall aesthetics of the play, this kind of dressing technique is difficult to be recognized by the audience.
Therefore, in the creation of the series, the director must fully consider whether the character's costume matches the character's identity and background. Pursuing theatrical realism is fundamental, not attracting attention through unreasonable dressing.
Proper styling allows the audience to play the characters better, which improves the overall quality of the series. Otherwise, like an ancient general in sneakers, the nondescript appearance will only attract ridicule and disgust from the audience.
To sum up, these vulgar methods that deviate from common sense and perfunctory audiences have seriously affected the quality and social effects of film and television works. Directors should ask themselves that they can no longer use unscrupulous means for the purpose of attracting attention.
The audience should be respected, the aesthetic quality and moral temperature of the work should be improved, and the society should be infected with positive energy.
If we continue to distort history and mislead audiences in this way, it will only lead to more disgusting content, and eventually the entire environment will deteriorate, and it will also be a collective failure of the industry.
is still the same sentence, directors must have social responsibility, film and television must have temperature, and works must have a bottom line. Let us work together to make the chaos in the TV circle and let high-quality film and television works benefit the public.
In fact, in recent years, all kinds of unreasonable plots and details of mistakes have been common, causing widespread controversy. For example, in the popular costume drama "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", the screenwriter wore a gauze skirt when he set Wu Zetian as a nun, which is completely different from the audience's stereotype of Buddhist monks, and this dress arrangement is obviously unreasonable.
Fans of the show have also launched large-scale discussions and doubts because of this.
For another example, similar problems also appeared in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" starring Zhang Han. In order to create the image of Zhang Han's dark villain, the screenwriter used heavy smoky makeup, with exaggerated red eyeshadow and lipstick, to create a sense of evil.
But the visual impact of this kind of makeup is too strong, but it is slightly exaggerated and artificial, and the villain's makeup does not need to deliberately pursue the feeling of "villain", it should be more natural.
So this has also been criticized by some audiences.
In fact, any film and television work will have some mistakes or omissions to a greater or lesser extent, which is normal in the creative process. But the problem is that this kind of obviously unreasonable but deliberately topical plot arrangement and detail handling techniques are indeed common recently, and the severity is intensifying.
This is no longer a simple mistake that can be made by the physicochemical.
It is necessary for directors and screenwriters to attach great importance to this and reflect deeply, and it cannot become a normal method of hype gimmicks and eyeballs. We should always keep in mind our social responsibilities and convey positive energy to the public through the content and aesthetics of our works.
Only in this way can we avoid the continuous degeneration of film and television creation, and let the audience regain their love and trust for domestic dramas.
