With the rapid passage of time, we ushered in the middle of April, and the competition in the domestic TV drama market became more and more fierce. In this tense competition, CCTV is about to launch two key dramas, which have aroused the attention and discussion of the audience and the industry.
"Chenghuan Ji", as an urban idol drama co-starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai, matches the appearance and temperament of the two, and the plot is unique, which undoubtedly attracts a lot of attention. The drama aims to pursue popularity and word-of-mouth, and has already achieved good results.
However, at the same time, another work vigorously promoted by CCTV "City in the City", also starring He Wei, and joined by powerful actors such as Wang Jinsong and Tu Songyan, people originally expected that it would suppress "Chenghuan Ji".
But unexpectedly, after six episodes were broadcast, the reputation of "City in the City" declined, which was criticized by the audience, and some even asked to be taken off the shelves. This series of events shows that the success of a TV series depends not only on the quality of its production and the strength of its cast, but also on the word-of-mouth and acceptance of the audience.
The professionals can't stand it anymore
"City in the City" is a TV series set in the banking industry, which tells the story of Tao Wuji, a new bank employee, Zhao Hui, the vice president of the branch, and Miao Che, the head of audit, who struggle between professional bottom line, financial interests and interpersonal relationships during the financial crisis.
However, there are many irrationalities in the show's portrayal of the banking industry and character settings, which make bankers and viewers feel dissatisfied. This article will dissect "City within a City" and reveal its absurdity.
First of all, what we want to question is the director's logic, rigor and professional grasp of the plot.
As a TV series set in the banking industry, "City in the City" has many problems in the plot setting. For example, Dai Qiye, as a branch manager, can use one billion funds at will, which is unimaginable in real life.
In addition, the loan approval process is also seriously neglected, as if the bank can lend as long as someone signs it. This misrepresentation and misleading of banking business leads the audience to misunderstand the banking industry.
In the eyes of bankers, "City within a City" is a grossly misaccurate description of the banking system. First of all, the setting of Dai Qiye, the branch manager, who can use one billion yuan of funds at will, seriously violates the actual operation regulations of the banking industry.
In reality, banks have strict approval procedures for the transfer and use of large amounts of funds, and it is impossible for a branch manager to manipulate them at will.
Second, the loan approval process is severely simplified or even ignored in the episode. Lending is one of the core businesses of banks, and its approval process is cumbersome and rigorous, involving multiple departments and levels.
The screenwriter's neglect of the loan approval process not only undermines the authenticity of the plot, but also greatly reduces the audience's trust in the banking industry.
In addition to banking problems, "City in the City" also has many irrationalities in the plot setting. For example, when Tao Wuji inspected the construction site, he secretly filmed Su Jianren meeting with customers like a detective. It's unbelievable that a small employee has so much power and guts to do such a thing.
What's even more puzzling is that after discovering Su Jianren's so-called "criminal evidence", the actor chose to report it directly to his boss Zhao Hui. This kind of behavior not only violates workplace ethics, but also shows that the male protagonist lacks basic judgment and wisdom.
In addition to the above problems, "City within a City" has other shortcomings. For example, the lack of wits and courage between the bigwigs in the financial world in the play makes the plot seem too bland.
As a TV series set in the banking industry, the changes in the financial world and the battle between giants should have been indispensable elements.
However, "City within a City" is clearly not in place in this regard. In addition, Zhao Hui's daily work and life are also portrayed as too trivial and boring, unable to show the demeanor and pressure of a vice president of a sub-branch.
As a financial TV series, "City in the City" has many irrationalities in the performance of the banking industry and character settings.
The screenwriter's lack of understanding of the banking system led to the plot logic full of loopholes and loss of professionalism.
This not only made the bankers dissatisfied, but also made the audience lose confidence in the work. It is hoped that domestic industry dramas in the future can be more rigorous and professional to avoid the recurrence of similar problems.
At the same time, it is also hoped that the audience will remain rational and vigilant when choosing to watch such episodes, and not be misled by some of these ridiculous plots.
The failure of City within a City is that it tries to reduce the complexity of banking to simple power struggles and money transactions, while ignoring the rigor and professionalism within the banking industry.
Such a treatment is not only dissatisfying for bankers, but also difficult for the average viewer to gain a real and in-depth understanding from it.
The acting skills are disappointed, and there are too many young actors
In recent years, the domestic TV drama market has been booming, and various theme works have emerged in an endless stream.
However, behind this prosperity, there is a common phenomenon: more and more TV dramas are compromising with popular stars, ignoring the importance of character building and acting.
This article will take "City in the City" as an example to discuss the problems existing in the role setting and actor performance of current domestic TV dramas, in order to arouse the industry's attention to improving the quality of TV dramas.
In the work "City within a City", we can clearly see the dominance of young actors.
Although powerful actors such as Yu Hewei also play important roles in the play, their roles and influence have been severely squeezed.
This excessive pursuit of star effect has undoubtedly weakened the overall strength of the series.
The male protagonist Tao Wuji in the play is played by Bai Yufan, but his character is ambiguous. In the six episodes that have aired, viewers can barely see any noticeable mood swings from Tao Wuji.
He is like an emotionless NPC, mechanically completing the tasks assigned by the plot. This lack of depth in character creation makes it difficult for the audience to resonate.
Bai Yufan's performance in the play has also been criticized. His performance was too stiff and lifeless, and the gap was obvious compared to those seasoned veterans.
In a key scene, Bai Yufan even made a low-level mistake of mispronouncing his lines and shaking his head when he was excited, which made people doubt his professionalism.
The heroine Xia Meng is played by Tian Xiaohui, who was supposed to be a character with a high starting point.
However, in the play, she becomes a schoolgirl who is full of problems. This contrasting characterization not only confuses the audience, but also weakens the credibility of the characters.
Xia Meng in the play lives in a wealthy family environment, living in a spacious and bright high-end apartment, and can also enjoy the beautiful night view of Shanghai.
However, in the plot, she always complains that life is sad, and this overemphasis on difficult settings makes the audience feel incomprehensible.
There are also problems with the interaction between Xia Meng and Tao Wuji, played by Bai Yufan. The emotional scene between the two in the play seems very deliberate and lacks a sense of reality.
Whether it's a sweet date or a scene of a quarrel, it feels stiff, as if you're acting for the sake of acting.
The actor who plays Lonnie in the play seems to be too eager to become famous, deliberately imitating the image of Gao Qilan in the hit drama "Hurricane".
From the dress to her words and deeds, you can see the traces of her imitation of Gao Qilan's role. However, this deliberate imitation did not win her the approval of the audience, but instead made people feel that she lacked personality and innovative spirit.
Lonnie's performance in the play was also disappointing. Compared with her previous works, her acting skills have not only not improved, but have regressed significantly.
In an important scene, she even made a low-level mistake of mispronouncing her lines and stiff expression, which made people question her professionalism.
epilogue
In the current era of fierce competition in the TV drama market, the audience's expectations and requirements for works are also constantly improving.
The appearance of "City within a City" is undoubtedly a warning, which reminds us that even works with strong backgrounds and resources will eventually fail if they do not work on the quality of their content.
The director and screenwriter have a low eye, which makes what could have been a masterpiece a mess. This is not only a damage to the work itself, but also a betrayal of the audience's trust.
The strong dissatisfaction of the bankers is a direct reflection of the lack of professionalism in the work. And this lack stems from the neglect of content quality.
The proliferation of suspense and dog blood elements has become a common problem in the domestic TV drama industry.
These elements may be able to catch the viewer's eye for a short time, but in the long run, they will only make the viewer feel aesthetically fatigued and lose interest in the work.
A good TV series should pay attention to the depth and breadth of content, and touch the hearts of the audience through wonderful stories and vivid characters.
