The current domestic drama market is lively, but the well-known good dramas have disappeared collectively.
The originally highly anticipated "Harbin 1944" was ridiculed by the group as soon as it was launched.
The acting skills of the heroine Yang Mi pulling her crotch are undoubtedly a shortcoming, in contrast, Wang Manchun played by Wang Ou is out of the circle again, it seems that acting skills are king.
On the other hand, Yu Hewei's "City in the City" and Yang Zi's "Chenghuan Ji" did not reach the level of a big hit drama, which made many viewers deeply troubled by the drama shortage.
But don't worry, there are still many ruthless things to be done in the dramas to be broadcast.
For example, Tan Songyun and Xu Kai's "You Are More Beautiful than Starlight", workplace + entrepreneurship + love, the elements that can attract young audiences are alive.
The two eye-catching leading actors also showed a good sense of CP in the trailer, presumably as long as the file is set, the word of mouth will not run.
It's just that I didn't wait for this puppet drama, but first waited for "Spring Lover" starring Li Xian and Zhou Yutong.
I thought that the show could also meet the audience's demands for chasing dramas, but I didn't expect that 1 day after the broadcast, the bad reviews were all over the screen, and the reasons for the audience's bad reviews were surprisingly consistent.
01 Vulgar and boring
"Spring Lover" tells the story of Chen Maidong (played by Li Xian), who had a rebellious personality when he was young, but when he grew up, he became a body plastic surgeon, and accidentally reunited with his classmate Zhuang Jie (played by Zhou Yutong) who lost a leg in a car accident in high school.
In the continuous pulling, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and finally went on a love journey about healing and warmth.
In these years, if the current puppet drama wants to come out, it must make the audience feel a "new" word.
But this new drama cleverly avoids this point of view, and the word "vulgar" is written throughout.
First of all, the character is "vulgar".
The male protagonist Chen Maidong is young and unruly, and he grows up cold and silent.
That's right, this kind of character must be burdened with a heavy past, just waiting for the heroine to come and heal.
No, the heroine Zhuang Jie happens to be the same character as Little Sun.
Although she is physically disabled, she is optimistic about the cow, and she doesn't care about the cold attitude of her old classmates, and moves forward like a "licking dog".
However, since we have a face of Party B, it is better to work overtime to make more money with this hot face and cold buttocks, and the industrial saccharin is really difficult for the audience to swallow!
Secondly, the plot is "vulgar".
In the past two years, domestic puppets have been forcibly "grounded" for the sake of the audience.
The directors seem to think that fireworks are an atmosphere that can only be brought out by the elders in the family to urge marriage.
The three or two sentences of the plot are inseparable from topics such as blind dates, finding a partner, and getting married, but the audience doesn't feel much angry, they only feel age anxiety coming to their faces.
And the male protagonist's grandmother talked about the female protagonist in private like picking cabbage, which also greatly reduced the perception.
My lord, times have changed!
What the audience really wants to see is two really excellent young people, attracted to each other, pulling to the limit, and not mixed with the romantic love of "chicken feathers".
Finally, preaching drama is too "vulgar".
In fact, this drama has a good setting, that is-
Posthumous cosmetic surgeon.
The drama of the same type, "Sanyue Has a New Job", relies on a deep analysis of life issues to firmly grasp the reputation.
However, Li Xian's new drama focuses more on the emotional line, and his thinking about his career only exists in the big truth dictated by the male protagonist, and this boring sense of preaching is also a major reason for dissuading the audience.
It can only be said that the blind body plastic surgeon is such an attractive setting.
Can't you shoot something tall in a puppet show? You can't break the game just by guarding those vulgar routines, so the director can have a snack!
02 The actor doesn't call
If the current puppet drama wants to break the circle, in addition to the plot, the actor's sense of CP is the most important.
However, "Spring Sends Lover" made the audience bow their heads in casting.
Let's look at the male protagonist first, Li Xian.
Since "Dear, Loved", he has not had a more brilliant play.
The main reason is that other actresses and Li Xian can't collide with sparks, how can this make the audience stumble?
And we don't know when Li Xian started to become "Duanwang", and he started acting with a wooden face.
There is also a pair of three-white eyes that no one has emotions, and they are not as good as AI.
At least the AI lines are clear and can read out the feelings, not like Li Xian who memorizes the text.
Chen Maidong, played by him, also has a deliberately handsome expression in the face of his grandmother.
For example, tilting his head and smiling, helplessly changing the topic, this expression is probably familiar to the audience who has watched "Han Shangyan".
That's right, after so many years, Li Xian's acting skills are still this virtue, and the more you watch it, the more boring it becomes.
Look at the heroine again, Zhou Yutong.
To be honest, Zhou Yutong has a face that doesn't like men very much.
Her facial features are relatively bland, and her lines are tough, which is more suitable for taking the neutral route, rather than chasing the male protagonist in a hurry.
Therefore, Zhuang Jie, who she played in the new play, gathered in front of Chen Maidong, which made people feel that there was any flirtatious meaning, and always felt that the two of them were going to the school gate to make an appointment in the next second.
Originally, the focus of this drama was to watch the two leading actors pull each other, but Zhou Yutong and Li Xian stood together like a pair of good brothers, and the two had no passion at all.
Sure enough, CP sense is a kind of metaphysics.
And Zhou Yutong's line is like having a sugar cube in his mouth, which is not as good as the female 20,000 peng's skills, so it is no wonder that the audience complained.
The other supporting roles performed remarkably, especially the drama bone Liu Lin, in this drama she vividly interpreted the fireworks on ordinary mothers.
For example, the heroine just came home, and Zhuang's mother smiled, but within two minutes, she began to dislike others and get in the way, and the change in attitude was quite natural, and it was filmed really, as if the audience saw her mother and substituted fiercely.
It's a pity that the leading actor is not powerful, and this kind of puppet drama is not something that a Mesozoic actor like Liu Lin can take away, which is a pity.
03 Conclusion
The original novel of "Spring Sends Lover" is average, and there is nothing special about it after it is adapted into a TV series.
In recent years, the current couple has gradually reached an impasse, and in the final analysis, there are three main reasons.
First, the original script is not strong.
Today's screenwriters are too trouble-free, the scripts are all adapted from novels and anime, and the ready-made frameworks and characters are applied, but they don't understand anything, resulting in dissatisfaction between fans and book fans.
When will you still be able to see a high-quality original script?
Second, fast-food CP.
In the past, on-screen couples could match their appearance, temperament, and acting skills, but now CPs choose the fast-food business model and forcibly pretend to be a good match, but they don't know that these industrial saccharins are tasteless, and the audience is tired of eating them.
Third, the acting is too bad.
Even if it is a puppet drama, the audience will not only watch the plot, and the acting skills of the actors are also the reason for retaining everyone's attention.
However, the strength of the young actors in domestic dramas is not as good as the one term, and even the charm of the roles is greatly reduced.
I just hope that the creators can wake up as soon as possible and don't let this theme become a rat crossing the street.
So do you think this new drama is good?
