No one denies Chen Sicheng's talent, and even this talent has been able to cover up his cheating scandal to a large extent, which is a miracle in the scandal world [ tears running].
In 2016, after "Detective Chinatown" became popular at a low level, Chen Sicheng hit the iron while it was hot, and supervised and starred in this TV series that could have been a god, which is today's protagonist "Great Prospects".
Saying that it is a supervising producer, in fact, the two directors of this drama are both photographers, and there has been no directorial work before. Coupled with the fact that the style of the first few episodes of the show and the last 30 episodes is obviously different, I have reason to suspect that the first few episodes were directed by Chen Sicheng himself.
This is the typical American drama style, Chen Sicheng is extremely clever, first make the first few episodes look good, attract the audience first, and then say.
Moreover, the scenes are absolutely big.
I believe that the script of this play itself is no problem, the portrayal of the characters, each character has its own characteristics, such as the three tycoons.
The prototype is the three tycoons of Shanghai Beach, Du Yuesheng, Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin. In the more comedic film, the three serious big guys are more comedic.
There are also very brainwashed thirteen Taibao: "South Xiaodu, Northern Laojiu, Thirteen Taibao invincible." The beggar teaches the head of the three young, the coachman master Xiao Ah Qiao, the blind drunkard, the black and white impermanent dragon, tiger and leopard." It can be said that as long as you watch the play, you will memorize it [I want to be quiet] This is also where Chen Sicheng is smart, and the same effect as the brainwashing divine comedy.
Little Ah Qian is the motivation for many friends to watch in the second half of the journey [I want to be quiet]
Except for the drunkard who received a box lunch in the first episode and compared the water, everyone else basically has a lot of scenes.
The first dozen episodes are very good, why is the end of the end, many people blame Chen Sicheng's performance. Almost completely imitating Zhou Xingchi, but painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.
In fact, I think Chen's performance is slightly exaggerated, but it is not the main reason for the bad ending of the film. As a comedy, it is reasonable to exaggerate a little.
I think the main problem is that I want to take care of the plot and want to portray the characters, and in the end I didn't do both, and I can even say that I didn't do a good job.
The character portrayal does not grasp the key points, the protagonist Chen Sicheng Yuan Hong, Tong Liya Guo Caijie, the three tycoons, the thirteen Taibao, Yan Hua... There are also a number of major supporting characters. To do everything, it is impossible in a TV series of more than forty episodes, and it takes thirty episodes for one person to introduce one episode.
Mention: Through this film, I only met the so-called film emperor Fu Dalong in the bullet screen, I think the most abrupt thing in the whole film is him, and the acting skills do not see it, I can see that he is an outsider who does not belong to this play.
And because of the excessive portrayal of characters, the plot is not clear, such as who Xiao Ah Qiao is leaning on, which makes Zhang Xiaolin so afraid. Many times the audience was confused and had nowhere to guess, because there could not have been such a person at that time.
Of course, there are still many bright spots, such as the blackening of Qilin. But the ending seems to be one of the few people who survived... This setting is a bit of a surprise.
The ending is also very mysterious, and in the end, the protagonist Hong Sanyuan was actually executed for a bunch of murders, treason and other crimes, and there was no reversal...
Editing is also responsible, and if it were a 70-episode work, it would certainly be fuller. More than 40 episodes want to plot and want to portray characters, it is really too difficult.
In short, this should have been a phenomenon-level work, but unfortunately, the faults in various aspects have turned it into an imperfect TV series.
Or the ending song "Let Love Go" sings well, "I can hide from the smoke and rain of half the city, but I can't hide from fate... Stepping through the world's search, stepping through the bright future..." Maybe this is the best ending."
