On the evening of January 20, the TV series "Love for a Long Time" premiered on Jiangsu Satellite TV and was launched on the Youku platform. Based on the current 3 episodes, I think this TV series belongs to a more typical youth narrative, but it is much more high-end than ordinary youth-themed TV series, especially in terms of realism, it is relatively good, and there are many heart-piercing moments. At the same time, the performances of actors such as Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng can also bring a lot of surprises to the audience.
Let's start with the youth narrative. This is a subject that is often seen in film and television literature. When we go through youth, we always need something to help us remember our youth. Therefore, the youth narrative in film and television literary works came into being. A generation has a generational narrative of youth. This "Love for a Long Time" should belong to the youth narrative of the post-80s and post-90s. Therefore, middle school life, going to the future, etc., are the focus of youth content.
The first 3 episodes of the TV series "Love for a Long Time" are actually the stories of several former teenagers who have become workers in their respective positions many years after graduation. These stories are the closest to the distance between "Love for a Long Time" and the audience, and they give this TV series with a high degree of realism to this youth narrative TV series. In other words, these parts of the play are heart-wrenching.
For example, when a young friend is getting married, everyone should have gone to the wedding, but in the end, everyone found that they couldn't go, and they all had their own things to do. This kind of heart-piercing really comes from the truth, and from the fact that the audience also feels the same way. We might as well ask, were we there when our friends from elementary and middle school got married? Why not? Are we really all that busy? What are we all busy with?
It's a pain of being away from home. Therefore, when the heroine got on the train home in the 3rd episode of "Love for a Long Time", I thought that this scene had no plot, but it was this kind of picture without a plot that could hit the audience's heart.
For another example, in the play, the protagonists face many problems at work and in their studies, aren't they also being faced by the audience? The heroine is obviously a serious media, but she has to chase traffic, and she doesn't dare to expose the truth more, and she doesn't dare to offend well-known media personalities, etc. When seriousness is tilted towards traffic, isn't this postmodern sense of absurdity the pain that our generation is experiencing?
In the play, another actor is making an opening report, and it is not going well, and even the place to stay in school to teach is about to be lost. This is also a heart-piercing scene. Among our generation, the one who learns the best insists on continuing to move forward in the academic field, but the road ahead is not always easy. Especially staying in school and getting a place, it can really stump heroes.
Even, another heroine, works in the personnel department. The leader above pressed her and asked her to lay off employees. The old employees who were laid off also had their own hardships, and they sprinkled their grievances on the heroine. Such a bridge is actually from reality. In the workplace, many of us are engaged in and experienced the same or similar things.
In this way, when "Love for a Long Time" came one after another, the audience suddenly discovered that this TV series is not a youth romance drama with a small fight, but a relatively serious youth drama that dares to be realistic and is working hard to pierce the heart. The play really found the content of our youth lineup, and presented it as the story content in front of us. Because it is true, it pierces the heart, and because it pierces the heart, it resonates.
Based on this, I think that this TV series will definitely be well received by the audience in terms of plot direction. On the other hand, at the actor level, Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng brought the temperament of mature actors to the audience. In terms of Yang Zi, in the play, it is necessary to present the two temperaments of the student era and the workplace era. In the 3 episodes of the premiere, these two temperaments were well controlled by Yang Zi.
It can even be said that Yang Zi is really two people in the play. When you are a student, you are what you look like when you are a student. And in the workplace era, I can't see the youthfulness of the student era at all. It is rare to be able to control the characteristics of both eras at the same time and present good young actors. Therefore, I think that Yang Zi cannot simply be regarded as a traffic star, but should be re-looked at - she should be a young powerful actor.
Fan Chengcheng's surprise was also very big. In previous film and television dramas, Fan Chengcheng is mostly a comedy image, which amuses everyone, and there is a feeling of being out of harmony and impropriety. And this time, in "Love for a Long Time", everyone saw a mature Fan Chengcheng character. In other words, Fan Chengcheng mastered the mature era of the male protagonist. This kind of maturity that belongs only to young people, and Fan Chengcheng's acting skills are also seen to be sophisticated.
Therefore, in terms of the direction of the plot and the direction of the actors, I don't see any shortcomings in this "Love for a Long Time". said that it is of high quality among youth dramas, and there should be no problem. Based on this, I think that the ratings, broadcast numbers and audience reputation of this TV series will be very dazzling. We'll talk about the data level next time. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
