In recent years, domestic TV dramas have gradually lost their attractiveness among audiences, and low ratings have become a common phenomenon. This article will deeply interpret the current situation of domestic TV dramas, analyze the deep-seated reasons for their unpopularity, and discuss and think about the future development direction.
The pompous plot is offensive
In the current domestic TV series, the plot setting of Bill's strong and detached from reality has aroused strong disgust among viewers. The director paid too much attention to the hype effect in the process of script creation, and there were many unrealistic and even absurd plot elements in the plot, which confused the audience, which undoubtedly had a negative impact on the word-of-mouth and evaluation of the series. For example, the plot of the male protagonist picking up crabs and clams from the river in the play lacks reasonable logic, which makes people question the director's control over the plot. These unrealistic plot designs make the audience have doubts about the series and cannot devote themselves to it, which directly affects the reputation and rating of the series.
It is worth noting that the distortion of the plot settings in some anti-Japanese dramas has caused social controversy. The protagonists of such works often have heroic images beyond ordinary people, which is seriously inconsistent with historical facts. For example, the portrayal of the Eighth Route Army as a character who lives in a luxurious villa and has the ability to cross time and space makes the original historical film unappealing, and the audience is not only difficult to resonate, but may even feel confused and angry. This kind of plot arrangement greatly reduces the viewing value of the film.
Ignoring logical loopholes affects the viewing experience
The director's neglect of logical loopholes in the creative stage is one of the main factors for domestic TV dramas to gradually lose audiences. Many of the illogical plots in the play make the audience jaw-dropping, such as the Eighth Route Army enjoying a luxurious life in a luxury villa in the anti-Japanese thunder drama, and the setting that the protagonist has supernatural powers, all of which are far from historical facts and unbelievable. These glaring logical errors reveal negligence on the part of the production team in the creative process, which undermines the audience's trust in the show.
In addition, costume dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have also been criticized for frequent goofs. There are many mistakes in the use of costumes and props by the actors in the play, which greatly affects the audience's viewing experience. For example, the character is dressed in a nun's costume but reveals an inappropriate sex appeal, which is incomprehensible. This conspicuous goof-and-go phenomenon not only weakens the overall quality of the play, but also raises questions about the quality of its production, thus affecting the reputation and evaluation of the show.
The supremacy of traffic leads to a decrease in quality Some directors chase the star effect and traffic too much in their works, ignoring the rationality and coherence of the plot. They're more focused on capturing the public eye than on how to create a good script. Therefore, although some film and television dramas have gathered celebrities and movie stars, their plot arrangement and plot progress are not satisfactory, lacking innovative thinking and in-depth connotation. When watching such dramas, it is difficult for the audience to have emotional resonance and spiritual pursuit, which leads to the continuous decline of the word-of-mouth and ratings of the series.
The lax censorship standards have prompted the frequent emergence of "thunder dramas".The relaxation of the censorship of domestic TV dramas has led to the frequent appearance of "thunder dramas", and some directors have no scruples in setting plots in order to meet market demand, and even touch the conventional bottom line. Absurd plots such as the actor fishing all kinds of seafood from the water, and the Eighth Route Army staying in a mansion, all make the audience laugh. This kind of work has seriously damaged the reputation of the entire TV drama industry and made the audience have a negative view of domestic TV dramas.
The historical film "Playing Away" has sparked controversy In recent years, some historical film and television dramas have caused a storm of public opinion due to wanton alterations to historical facts, and many directors have boldly transformed historical events in order to pursue visual impact and plot tension when creating scripts, and even subverted the audience's inherent perception of history. For example, the plot setting in the costume drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is too bizarre and unbelievable, and there are obvious loopholes in the use of actors' costumes and props, which seriously affects the quality of the whole play. The distortion of such historical works has made the audience deeply disappointed and indignant, and at the same time, it has also damaged the reputation and image of the mainland film and television industry.
Lack of awareness of the needs of the audienceIn the process of producing film and television works, some directors fail to fully grasp the needs of the audience, which makes the works lose the key elements to attract the audience. They pay too much attention to the box office and ratings, but ignore the aesthetic feelings and spiritual needs of the audience. As a result, most film and television dramas appear exaggerated and unrealistic in terms of plot setting and character building, causing aesthetic fatigue and emotional indifference among the audience. This one-way creative model not only reduces the quality of dramas, but also affects the audience's overall evaluation of domestic film and television dramas.
