The new dramas launched in April are basically good dramas with top-level configurations, and "Chenghuan Ji" starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai focuses on urban themes and tells the career, emotions and family conflicts of Mai Chenghuan, an older unmarried young man.
With the update of the plot, various strange plots launched in "Chenghuan Ji" have successfully aroused heated discussions. And "City in the City", which gathered powerful actors such as Yu Hewei, Wang Xiao, Wang Jinsong and so on next door, has gone from the initial high voice to the current low reputation.
According to the data, the ratings performance of "City in the City" is actually very stable, and even as the latest online work, it has shown the potential of a hit. But such a data performance does not affect the continuous negative reviews of this drama at all.
Click on the relevant evaluation of "City in the City", which is full of "abandonment of drama" remarks, some netizens bluntly said "ready to abandon the drama", and some netizens complained that "it is recommended to take it off the shelves directly".
What went wrong with "City in the City"?
The threshold for chasing dramas is too high, and the rhythm is too blunt
The first hook on the launch of "City in the City" is Dai Xing's death, as a work that digs deep into the inside story of the financial circle, the plot is linked to life and death, and there should always be a plot that breaks through the scale, but "City in the City" took great pains to lay the foreshadowing of a car accident, and the reason was actually fatigue driving.
Using human life as a hook is a common trick in many domestic dramas, but the dramatic scenes created by "City in the City" to promote the plot and mobilize the highlights are not sufficient, and the twists are too blunt.
Not only that, some of the intrigues of the big names in the play have too high a threshold, and audiences who don't know the inside story of the industry will feel that they can't understand it.
Of course, "Flowers" and "Wind Chaser", which involve financial elements, have the same problem, but "City in the City" is obviously more serious.
Watching the big names speak in "A City within a City" is more difficult than doing reading comprehension.
Viewers who know a little about the banking and financial circle will find that the plots in "City in the City" are too pediatric and unprofessional, and many details in the plot do not conform to the common sense of the industry.
The most outrageous thing is that the positioning of "City within a City" is very strange.
The plot of the old drama bones is very high.
But the painting style of a group of young actors here is very simple, difficult to work, difficult to find employment, and those who don't know think that Bai Yufan is acting in an inspirational drama in Shanghai.
The two generations themselves have been portrayed as people from two worlds, and as a result, the screenwriter also added a "stand-in literature" drama, Gao Qilan, whom An Xin can't even look down on, is like a walking aphrodisiac in the play, and all the high-quality men have straight eyes when they see her.
Teacher Yu Hewei looks so honest and serious, and he has to play this kind of old-fashioned stand-in stalk in idol dramas, which is really embarrassing to people's toes.
"City in the City" is currently in addition to the acting skills of the old drama bones, the plot is too weak, the plot is too arrogant, the overall style positioning is very vague, it is difficult to attract a fixed audience, and today's high ratings are all supported by the acting skills of the old drama bones.
And the current market reviews of TV dramas also prove that the old drama bones can't hold on, and Yu Hewei can't save the gradual decline of "City in the City".
The second life is against the drama, the resources can't afford to hurt, and the acting skills are also annoying
Actor Bai Yufan is a familiar face to everyone, from "Mountains and Seas" to "I'm Good in Another Country" to "The Beginning" and the current "City in the City", Bai Yufan has proved his acting strength, but it really hasn't reached the point of overpowering Yu Hewei.
In the drama "City in the City", Tao Wuji played by Bai Yufan is the protagonist, and both the role and the halo of the protagonist are the heaviest. But so far, Bai Yufan's plot part is very boring.
And the second Yu Hewei is obviously the real anti-drama student in the drama "City in the City".
Netizens who pay a little attention to the position of the entertainment industry will definitely be disgusted with "City in the City" because of the inappropriateness of the position, and even ordinary viewers who don't care about the position and resource coffee will definitely be persuaded to retire because of Bai Yufan's performance in the play.
In terms of appearance, Bai Yufan's appearance is obviously bruised, he has no protagonist temperament, let alone image charm, and even Yu Hewei of the Mesozoic Era does not rely on his face to eat, and he looks more attractive than Bai Yufan.
In terms of acting skills, Bai Yufan's performance is very unnatural, and when creating a newcomer in the workplace, the audience can't see his ambition and hard work.
Especially the scene where Tao Wuji was in the bathroom, pinching a note to recommend himself to the big guy, acting like a confession scene in a Japanese drama, Bai Yufan's nervousness was too much, he handed out the note with both hands, and his movements were restrained and cautious, which made me feel that the subtext in the character's heart at this moment was "Senior, please fall in love with me".
I'm really convinced, young people in the workplace are young in the professional field and human feelings, and there is no one who is shy about performing.
With an old actor like Yu Hewei, Bai Yufan's acting skills are not enough. and the same young newcomer actor as a couple, Bai Yufan is not in a state. There is a scene in the play, which is probably Tao Wuji played by Bai Yufan and his girlfriend lamenting the pressure of the workplace and imagining a better future.
And in many flashing shots, Bai Yufan's eyes are very empty and wooden, and those who don't know think that he wants to get distracted, and his acting skills drop from time to time.
In fact, it can be seen from TV series such as "Wind Chaser", "Rebel", "South to North" and other TV series that the problem of lack of talent in the entertainment industry is very serious, especially in terms of acting, the effect of old drama bones and young actors performing is really unsatisfactory.
The TV series that can get out of the circle by a small margin are often works that have a very hard plot and a very brilliant production. As for the young actors, it's just a decoration, and changing any face can have the same effect.
To put it bluntly, the audience's dissatisfaction with "City in the City" is mainly reflected in the fact that the young leading actors can't catch the play and their strength is not enough, and at the same time, the plot is not exciting enough to retain the audience.
It's a pity that the drama "City in the City" has gathered so many powerful actors, and the final effect can only be said to be far less than the audience's expectations.
Of course, "City in the City" has just been launched, and the current plot has a bug to dissuade the audience, which does not mean that this drama has no possibility of turning the tide. But generally speaking, a drama can't keep the audience in the first few episodes, and no matter how exciting the audience is, it can't watch it later.
It's a pity that "City in the City" started at full level, and the final result seemed to be destined to be unsatisfactory.
