The New Year's drama "South to North" won the ratings, but the audience had different opinions, did CCTV bet right this time?

The premiere got off to a good start.

Directed by Zheng Xiaolong, "South to North" aired less than two episodes, and the ratings rushed to the top of the list, with the highest peak reaching 2.56%. The audience praised it as both relaxed and warm, and the characters were three-dimensional. Moreover, the rhythm is good, there are many laughs, and each episode has a new plot point.

The story begins in 1978.

In the opening long shot, the passengers sleeping under the seats, busy playing chess, climbing the luggage rack and even sleeping on it are used to truly restore the characteristics of the unique green car, which is orderly in chaos and full of sense of life.

Wang Xin, a small police officer played by Bai Jingting, just helped his aunt capture the "flying chicken" who escaped from prison, and then ran into a southern passenger who was stolen, and he was almost stunned by the other party's rich southern accent. Later, when he took people out of the car to find suspicious objects, there was another misunderstanding.

In this scene, Northeast dialect, Southern dialect, and Tianjin dialect appear one after another, and the three accents of the three people collide with another feature of this play - dialect.

was originally a light-hearted and funny scene, but after the four "comedians" in the cab gathered, the style of painting suddenly changed, from a life comedy to a suspenseful crime.

The first meeting between Wang Xin and Ma Kui unfolded in such an atmosphere. A hand-to-hand fight in the toilet ended with him being restrained by a horse.

The two made the first round, and Wang Xin was defeated.

However, Wang Xin's lost face was then recovered by him when the two met again. This time, Ma Kui fell behind and was handicap by Wang Xin on the cabinet door. The Hinayana policeman, who won back a game, did not forget to spit out golden sentences to Ma Kui, mocking him, "You can't be a person, be the first thief."

It's a pity that he was slapped in the face in three seconds before he was proud, and the "thief" who was caught not only became a colleague, but also a master who was responsible for bringing him. And from Ma Kui's reaction when he learned that Wang Xin's father was Wang Yongge, it can be seen that the two are by no means as simple as knowing each other in the past. In that unjust case that year, Wang Yongge probably had a disgraceful performance.

The new "hatred" and the old grudge have become the daily life of the master and apprentice, but most of the time the ginger is old and spicy.

ran into the old blind man played by Ni Dahong, Wang Xin only knew how to do things according to the rules, and asked him to take the bus after making up the ticket. And Ma Kui, who is familiar with the old blind man's life experience and knows that he is a crazy girl, chose to pay out of his own pocket to help him buy tickets.

A rule is dead, and people are alive, revealing the softness under Ma Kui's upright appearance.

When a passenger loses money, the experienced Ma Kui spotted the witness from the crowd at a glance, and then knocked out clues from the other party. Wang Xin, who prides himself on being "the first in investigation", found nothing, and was complained by Ma Kui that he had a wooden pier on his shoulder.

When encountering a gang of robbers who forcibly bought and sold roast chicken in the car, Ma Kui not only understood, but also skillfully applied the words on the road "black words", and after successfully stabilizing the other party, he used the gang's familiarity with the site to "trap" them.

The train line uses the competition between the master and apprentice in the open and in the dark, and the successive cases to create a small climax to promote the plot. On the other side of the courtyard line, it is full of fireworks and people.

On the streets, children are playing with rubber bands and playing marbles, in the yard, a tree is full of flowers, chickens are leisurely pecking, and children are playing happily, and the neighbors living in the yard are making fun of each other while working, and the atmosphere of harmony and intimacy is so good that it makes people cry.

The courtyard is full of age, and the details are also eye-catching.

For example, Wang Xin's folding table, enamel basin and stove coiled in the house, and the photo frame on the wall of Ma Kui's house, the plate cage and small square table on the kang, and the sleeves on Wang Sufang's arm.

No wonder some netizens praised the life, fireworks, and were willing to give 80 points to the realism of the details and scenes.

But in addition to the praise, there are also many different voices.

The netizen who gave the middle comment said that Zheng Xiaolong, who had directed many classic masterpieces, "regressed". The production of "South to North" this time can only be regarded as good, but it is not excellent, the main line is weak and the branch lines are chaotic, and there are still logical problems in some places.

And netizens who gave one-star or two-star negative reviews, in addition to feeling that the plot is boring like a sketch, the plot is thin and has no main line, and the overall painting style is a bit fake, Bai Jingting's acting skills and Jin Chen's face are the focus of complaints.

In the eyes of this part of the audience, Bai Jingting's Northeast dialect is too lame, the performance is not only routine but also full of petty taste, and he belongs to the "true colors" of primary school students, and he can't catch Ding Yongdai's play at all, which is both collapsed and embarrassing; Jin Chen's face is not a disobedience in commercial dramas, and it is very dramatic in such a period drama, and it is as incompatible with the whole drama as Bai Jingting's performance.

In such a polarized evaluation, if the follow-up plot attraction of "South to North" does not increase, it cannot reverse the existing "boring" impression, not only can it not be compared with the former "The World" and "Hurricane", but it is also likely to go high and low.

Therefore, the final reputation of this drama depends on the excitement of the later scenes!
