The competition in mainland TV dramas in April was very fierce, and TV dramas of various themes were broadcast in turn, which even made it difficult for the audience to choose.
The two major platforms of CCTV alone have already earned enough attention from the audience.
The previous CCTV spy war theme "Wind Chaser" was widely praised after it was broadcast, which not only set off a wave of national drama chasing, but also attracted praise from many official media.
Later, there was the family drama "Chenghuan Ji" starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai, although the reputation is average, but the ratings and popularity are very high.
After the start of this drama, it frequently appeared on the hot search, and Yang Zi once again proved his ability to resist dramas.
Of course, CCTV is not far behind, and has presented a financial anti-corruption drama "City in the City".
The high popularity of the ratings is firmly at the forefront In stark contrast to word of mouth
As soon as this drama was launched, it attracted the attention of countless audiences.
As of the time of publication, the show is in the forefront of both ratings and popularity, and it can be said to be a drama that has attracted a lot of attention at the moment.
"City within a City" can have such ratings, to be honest, I am not surprised at all.
After all, CCTV's financial themes are all well-known hits, from "Flowers" to "Wind Chaser" involving the finance of the Republic of China.
CCTV's financial drama this year broke the inherent impression and became the new favorite of ratings.
In addition, the production team of this show is strong and the cast is strong, which makes the show more interesting.
The joining of Yu Hewei, Wang Xiao, Feng Jiayi, Wang Jinsong, Tu Songyan, Chen Jin and other old drama bones also provided ratings guarantee for the show.
Sure enough, after the broadcast of this drama, it did not disappoint everyone.
On the day of its premiere, the show's ratings easily broke 2 and ranked first.
However, in stark contrast to the hot ratings, the show's word-of-mouth is mixed and polarized.
After watching it, many viewers complained about the plot, thinking that this drama was a conjecture about the banking industry, and bluntly said that the screenwriter was too uncommon-sense.
As a TV series that reflects the financial industry, there are indeed many details in the play that cannot stand up to scrutiny.
For example, in the first episode, Dai Xing embezzled one billion dollars in cash to save the company in violation of regulations.
Under the existing regulatory system, a bank president can go around a trust channel and lend one billion yuan to a private enterprise on the next day on the premise that there is no approval process and no guarantee on the day of the decision.
Dai Xing's plot design here, no matter how you look at it, it feels suspended and incompatible with reality.
In view of this, many viewers gave this drama a bad review, bluntly saying that industry dramas are not filmed like this.
However, fortunately, the follow-up plot of this drama has a good rhythm, and both the main plot and the side plot are orderly.
The various foreshadowings reserved by the screenwriter in the early stage gradually appeared, and Zhao Hui (played by Yu Hewei) gradually moved towards the road of blackening under various suppressions.
Coupled with the strong cast of the play, Yu Hewei and several other male actors in the uncle circle have used their superb acting skills to bring back a lot of reputation for this drama.
Two days ago, the Douban score of the show was released, with a score of 7.6.
For a drama that collapsed in the early stage of word-of-mouth, it is not low.
The old drama bones have superb acting skills and portray the characters into three points
"City in the City" is a workplace drama and a group drama.
Every character in the play can stand up, so that the audience will never forget it after watching it.
Especially those middle-aged actors, vividly interpreting what acting is.
Yu Hewei's acting skills are full of layers, and he interprets the state of Zhao Hui's role before and after blackening very well.
This role is a righteous person who is skilled in business, sticks to the bottom line, and works diligently in business.
But he couldn't afford to pay the millions of dollars his daughter needed to see her eyes.
Frustration, resentment and dissatisfaction with the status quo of the airborne governor.
and Xie Zhiyuan and Wu Xianlong, two "friends" who designed themselves, and repeatedly wavered by tempting olive branches on themselves.
The foreshadowing in front fully portrays the tragic color of Zhao Hui, and Yu Hewei also vividly interprets "the deceased wife, the sick baby, the broken home, and the broken him".
The greater the pressure, the more attractive the benefits are, and it is not difficult to understand that Zhao Hui's hard work will not be rewarded, and he will go black.
Miao Che (played by Wang Xiao) is upright and ruthless, and has the ruthlessness of a professional auditor.
Su Jianren (played by Feng Jiayi) is still a "love brain", which can be regarded as treacherous but not completely bad, and is responsible for comedy;
Xie Zhiyuan (Tu Songyan) is interest-oriented, good at scheming, and a big networker.
What type of "uncle" do you want to see, "City in the City" has it all.
As long as these four people are there, not speaking is the effect of dramatic conflict.
Not to mention that "City within a City" uses only one scene on the restaurant table to accurately express the role positioning of the four people.
Whether it is a four-person game or a two-to-two play, from the tone of the lines to the micro-expressions, it is worth savoring.
With the hot ratings of "City in the City" and nearly 10 billion topic discussions on the whole network.
This financial theme has also attracted the attention of the state media.
People's Daily sharp comments The advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance
Recently, the People's Daily published a long article on "A City in the City", which was sharp and accurate, and got to the point.
The People's Daily pointed out that the so-called "city" in the city, in addition to the financial city, also has another meaning, that is, a city built by the hearts of the people.
At the same time, he affirmed Yu Hewei's acting skills, and thought that Zhao Hui played by him showed the kind of entanglement and entanglement in human sexual confrontation.
The People's Daily sharply pointed out that financial stories are not easy to tell, the subject matter is highly professional, and various relationships are complicated.
If it is not handled well, it is easy to fall into the plot suspension circle, and the show just did not handle this relationship well, which is the main reason for the polarization of the word-of-mouth of "City in the City".
For the financial workplace drama "City within a City", the People's Daily believes that the drama is not typical.
The play dissolves into ordinary life with the professionalism and complexity of finance, revolves around the characters, and uses life as the birthplace and place of belonging.
Regarding the handling of the plot of "City in the City", the People's Daily believes that the rhythm of the show is unhurried and does not follow the technique of "seven golden minutes, three episodes before life and death".
Instead, it did the opposite, so the show didn't have too many eye-catching highlights at first.
Although this approach will become more and more popular, it is also very easy to lose audiences.
It is worth mentioning that the creative perspective of this drama is based on realism, from the encounter of the protagonist Tao Wuji to the ascension of the "rich second generation" Cheng Jiayuan, all of which reveal the cruelty of real society.
"It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree" has become a conventional truth, and the different circumstances of the two people in the play are also a reflection of reality, this injustice stung the audience, and the audience's real life is also the most realistic image restoration of the TV series.
The People's Daily highly affirmed the practical significance conveyed by this drama.
It is said that the play uses the encounters of two generations of financial people to dissect the different levels of conflict, showing the complexity of the interweaving of ideals and interests within the industry.
Judging from the plot, although many details of this drama are not in place, the portrayal of characters and intertwined interests can be described as vivid.
The financial industry is a battlefield without gunsmoke, but the sophistication of human feelings, the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the belief in interests are vividly reflected in this drama. Although there is no blood, there is tension.
In addition, the most successful part of the show is the in-depth interpretation of human nature.
From Zhao Hui to Tao Wuji, to those related practitioners, all reflect the complexity of human nature.
I have to say that the People's Daily's comments on this drama are really sharp.
It not only points out the shortcomings of the play, but also affirms the advantages of the play, as well as the deeper expression and practical significance.
