The bleak outlook for workplace urban dramas
The mainland entertainment industry is like a magnificent voyage, and each port has its own unique scenery. Ancient puppet dramas, fairy tale dramas, campus dramas, everything, but they are workplace urban dramas, like a lonely boat left in the sea, no matter how you swing, you can't find a way back.
"Cheng Huan Ji": A moment from anticipation to disappointment
You thought that "Chenghuan Ji" performed by Yang Zi and Xu Kai would be a counterattack of an urban drama, but as a result, there were more negative reviews in the comment area than whale diving. The plot is boring, the lines are stiff, Yang Zi's facial expression seems to be frozen, and Xu Kai uses a three-piece set of skills of "raising eyebrows, squeezing eyes, touching your head!", which makes people laugh. What doesn't exist is as scarce as a crocodile in the Nile.
Urban Drama: Lost a Soul?
In the past, a masterpiece like "Snail House" made people moved, but now it has become a luxury for urban dramas. In the past two years, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the urban drama has become a helpless "small day", and successfully fell off the altar. This can't help but make people wonder if urban dramas have lost their souls and fallen into an endless cycle of dog blood.
The helplessness and reflection of the entertainment industry
In the entertainment industry, success often comes with tremendous pressure. In order to cater to the taste of the short video era, screenwriters do not hesitate to sprinkle dog blood all over the ground, but it is becoming more and more difficult for the audience to find novelty and sincerity. Yang Zi, Xu Kai and other actors, although they have outstanding acting skills, they can't fill the gaps in the script. At this time, perhaps it is time to reflect on whether the script has gone astray, or has the audience's aesthetic changed?
Epilogue: A carnival of disappointment
The word-of-mouth of "Cheng Huan Ji" may no longer matter, because it has become a carnival of disappointment. In the rolling torrent of the entertainment industry, we may need more thinking and more innovation in order to save the sinking lonely boat of urban dramas. I hope that the next carnival will be more real and moving.
May your day be full of sunshine and warmth~
