The turmoil of "The Legend of Ruyi" continues to ferment.
Station B complained that the videos were removed from the shelves in large quantities, many up main accounts were reported, and the deletion of posts on Weibo caused outrage.
The works of the same period that were complained about and the characters who were scolded became popular together, and it was difficult to make a fortune.
Thereinto.
There is also a drama with a clear banner.
In 2018, it had a fierce competition with the party of "The Legend of Ruyi" as soon as it was launched, and it was not until today that it raised its eyebrows.
On Douban, many viewers poured into "The Legend of Ruyi" to give one star, and easily added five stars to this drama.
Weibo, the popularity is the first hot search.
Yu Zheng is leaving.
Fanning the flames is not a big deal.
Well, it looks like we have to talk about it today
This was broadcast at the same time as "The Legend of Ruyi", but the popularity crushed the latter, presenting an elephant-level hit drama.
At that time.
It is also called a "thunder drama" and "romance drama" by the audience.
Unexpectedly, six years later, "The Legend of Ruyi" was cold, but it took the opportunity to ascend to the throne, which seemed to prove the sentence "The enemy of the enemy is a friend".
But, is that really just the case?
Sir rewatched a full seventy episodes.
I only found out after reading it.
It turns out that the answer to everything has actually been written in the story a long time ago.
Ruyi's "loss" and Yanxi's "win" are all destined.
01
First-class audience, third-rate fun
is different from many court dramas, which have worked hard to raise their image outward from the beginning of their announcement, and desperately moved closer to the main drama and historical drama.
"Yanxi" is very straightforward from the beginning.
It is an ancient puppet drama and a cool drama.
Compared with the national costume, the poster of the Japanese costume may be more flavorful
Yingluo: The counterattack princess of the burning Forbidden City
The Qing Dynasty was hot-blooded.
Pure middle two flavors.
The clear self-positioning makes the advantages and disadvantages of "Yanxi Palace" itself very obvious.
For example, the heroine's acting skills are bad.
In the year when the series was broadcast, Wu Jinyan's "Chihuahua" appearance was on the hot search, with a small head, small face and small eyebrows, which is very different from the traditional ancient puppet heroine (some people say that Yu Zheng specifically looked for Concubine Ling on the ancient painting).
But compared with the casting of a big beauty, what created the audience more was her acting skills.
△ Sigh, like a mouthful
古偶,忍了; Newcomer, Shinobi.
But even so, the problems of "Yanxi" are still a big basket.
For example, dog blood.
Wei Yingluo's purpose in entering the palace was to avenge the unjust death of her sister Aman.
But when she found out that the real murderer of her sister was Prince He's biological mother, the current Concubine Yu
Little palace maid VS royal concubine, how to break?
She thought of a way that no one could think of to punish this high-ranking murderer.
The thunder descended on the world and severely punished the wicked
You read that right.
Tōkō
Although the screenwriter laid the groundwork for this operation, implying that the heroine had done something on the gauze tent of the concubine's palace, and specially woven tinsel to lead the thunder.
But this wave of thunder just chopped down, the person just stood there, and the operation of the life just disappeared, I have to say that it is still too magical.
Fortunately, "Yanxi Palace" has never hidden its blood.
What did it rely on to dominate the hot search back then?
The big heroine is cool.
Those who bullied Wei Yingluo are either dead or crazy.
△ Er Qing was beaten and liked more than 10,000 times
Pseudo-lily.
The naked scenes of the pure concubine and the queen, and the obscene lyrics and songs of wives and concubines falling in love with each other.
CP Ranbula.
Fu Ying, Empress Ling, Empress Di, Wei Long...... There are many patterns, you can choose.
Plainly.
"Yanxi Palace" knows from the bottom of its heart that it relies on "third-rate tricks" to attract audiences.
戏内,三流伎俩讨好帝。
Outside the play, third-rate tricks are used to please the audience.
Like soliciting, it never boasts about how noble its taste is and how beautiful its posture is.
Just tell the audience plainly that I know your needs and I can solve your needs.
This straightforward pandering to the audience is obviously effective.
How popular is "Yanxi Palace"?
The total number of broadcasts exceeded 20 billion, and the number of broadcasts in a single day exceeded 700 million, ranking first in overseas data for an unprecedented time.
The crew of "Happy Camp", the ratings exceeded the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.
The explosion of "Yanxi" is the result of the commodity outperforming the work.
It will feed the audience whatever they love, and the main theme is a large amount of fullness.
Pure, pure to the end
Fucha Fu Heng has been guarding the heroine like jade all his life, and he is a virgin until he dies.
desire, and never twist.
The joy of Yingluo and Qianlong's boudoir is full of tricks - open-air sleeping, prostitution during the day, and fun play.
What is riding a dragon, drilling a quilt, and a humanoid pendant...... It's all left over from our Sister Wei's play.
Is it vulgar? Vulgar.
That's right.
There is nothing else in this drama, it is just cheesy.
Not only the heroine is vulgar, the emperor is vulgar, the story is vulgar, but even the tricks to please and the audience are also vulgar.
But so what?
is different from the solemn and reserved nature of most of the other Qing court dramas, like a treasure and jade food.
"Yanxi Raiders" is more like a plate of roadside stalls fried over a bright fire with a burnt aroma.
It is high in oil, sugar, heavy and spicy, and unhealthy.
But what you see is what you get, and you don't deceive feelings.
So many people came in the mood of just being hungry, and they didn't think it was okay to finish eating.
So I scanned the code and added the boss's WeChat, and asked if I could take it out.
This is not unusual.
The Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka once wrote:
The happiest thing in life.
It's either illegal, it's moral, or it's easy to get fat.
Isn't that apt?
The audience knows that it is not advanced, knows that it is not nutritious, but is addicted to the pleasure of such a knee reflex.
It's not so much that "Yanxi Palace" conforms to the audience's aesthetics.
It's better to say.
It is in line with the audience's "sexual fetishes".
02
The Forbidden City is the subject, and watch you soar
Since it's all "sexual fetish".
Then naturally there is no need to be advanced, no need to be perfect.
For example, it is also a Qing court drama.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is talking about what a noble lady will do when she encounters something;
"The Legend of Ruyi" is about what a good wife and mother will do when encountering things;
And "Yanxi Raiders" is talking about what ordinary people can do when they encounter things.
The whole drama has 70 episodes, which can be regarded as a long minister's "promotion of Concubine Ling".
Who is Wei Yingluo?
Born in Naifu Bao, the family precinct has fallen.
I haven't read anything, and I'm semi-literate.
Such a low-level character is often portrayed as a villain who climbs the dragon and the phoenix in other palace fighting dramas, and is accompanied by all kinds of vicious behaviors that are not pleasing to people.
But "Yanxi" did not.
Compared with harming people and Gong Dou, what is more shown to the audience in the play is her efforts.
Performance is not good.
Then study hard and work hard to do the questions.
Calligraphy, painting, piano art
can be made up for the day after tomorrow
However, it takes years of immersion in vision and bearing
If you don't do it for a day, you can do it for a year
If you don't do it in one year, you can do it in ten years
If I don't have a lot of talent, I can make up for it diligently
If you are sick, you have to please the emperor
Deposed.
Then do a line of love, three hundred and sixty lines, and a line of champions.
Brushing the toilet can also become a performance champion.
Improved management.
The Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, and she copied scriptures with blood every day to accumulate blessings for the Queen Mother.
One copy, that's three years.
Before her, the women of the palace fighting drama were probably like this
Squeeze out part of the principle for love, squeeze out part of morality for power;
Squeeze out part of the time for the sake of the heirs, and squeeze out some of the self-esteem for the sake of pampering.
It was only at the end that I found that I had become a hollow person.
But Wei Yingluo will not compromise.
She is like an animal in the Forbidden City, even if she rolls in the muddy water, even if she bumps into her nose and swollen face, and eats flesh and blood, she has to figure out a new way of living over and over again after eating and drinking.
Started by Wei Yingluo.
Such a female narrative of "my fate is up to me", probably you will think of a person:
琼瑶。
In Qiong Yao's story, most of the heroines are also ill-fated.
But at the same time, they are also full of vitality and have distinct personalities.
This is the heroines, the 1.0 era of love first and freedom first.
Here in "Yanxi Palace".
As a problem-solver who is steadily climbing up step by step in the Forbidden City, it belongs to Wei Yingluo's 2.0 era, which has only quietly opened.
She is also bumpy and difficult.
However, the motivation has shifted from the "theory of sexual fate" to the supremacy of ambition and desire.
For her, love is more like a tool for earning a living or a way to please herself, rather than the core of life.
Even if she became a concubine in the later period, she also adhered to herself from beginning to end.
Compared with the dignified and elegant Eight Banners noblewoman.
The "grassroots" of this little person and the vitality from the bottom that does not know the height of the sky.
It's easier to make an audience with modern values feel relatable.
From the day you entered the palace
All of them are minions
But I've never seen you bend your knees for a day
This made me very uncomfortable
The emperor will get used to it one day
The shell of idol dramas has given "Yanxi" a broader freedom.
in its world.
If you want to counterattack and succeed, you have to work hard.
Manage your time, manage your emotions, and never lie flat.
It's not just Wei Yingluo.
The same goes for others.
Here's an example.
Concubine Xian, who protected the queen mother from disasters at the palace banquet infested by bats, followed by another version of "Ruyi".
As the eldest daughter, she is facing the reality that her mother's family is in the middle of the road and the family in the house is ruined.
He has never complained or collapsed, but he has been diligent and does his job well.
Not only did he personally open porridge tents and distribute meals to the homeless people in Beijing.
When the Fucha clan was seriously ill after the Yuan Dynasty.
He also single-handedly opened up sources and reduced expenditure, enriched the treasury, and won the hearts of the people (even the Fucha clan did not do it).
went from an unfavored concubine to a queen.
Not only to the prince to praise you
Even Liu Tongxun, who supervised the construction of the refugee camp
Say that you are decisive and dignified
Want to get the praise of this old stubborn
That's harder than climbing to the sky
After taking charge of the phoenix seal.
She is even more dedicated to the mother of the country, never competing with concubines for favor and jealousy, and handling palace affairs every day.
Even if his father was poisoned by the Queen Mother, he had to forcibly cut off his grief and continue to maintain his favor.
"What's the use of being sad now".
These are the values of Yanxi Palace.
It doesn't matter if you're a slave, a concubine, or even a queen.
It does not favor characters of noble birth, winners in blood.
Contrary.
It will pay more attention to ordinary people who are conscientious and conscientious, and even poor people who have fallen from the clouds into the quagmire.
Compared to "chicken soup", it is more like a bowl of "chicken blood".
Regardless of the descendants, no matter whether they are high or low.
As long as you work hard, there is hope.
Originally, there were very few opportunities left for ordinary people in the court, and most of them served the power to death.
We can't guarantee that we won't lose, but we can at least work in one direction.
This is the warmth that "Yanxi" left to the characters.
It is also the "individual care" that it emphasized.
03
Small Person, Macrocosm
So back to the question at the beginning, why is "The Legend of Ruyi" cold at the moment, but "Yanxi Raiders" can become popular again?
Is it a netizen's reversal of the case?
Apparently not.
You must know that back then, "Yanxi Raiders" crushed "The Legend of Ruyi" in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings.
Now the scene is repeated.
It can only prove that in terms of creative orientation, "The Legend of Ruyi" is inherently less pleasing than "Yanxi Raiders".
It was "born at the wrong time".
For example, what do people complain about "The Legend of Ruyi" the most?
Hang high.
荡妇羞辱。
The road is on the shore.
Many people commented that the "three views are not correct" in "The Legend of Ruyi" is that even if it is covered with a clear palace skin, it still can't hide the decay in nature.
But is that really the case?
To know.
The values of superiority, the importance of the dignity and humility of the descendants, and the indifference to the people at the bottom.
These all come from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty: the last feudal dynasty on the mainland, the "prosperous era of Kangqian" when all countries came to the dynasty, and the pinnacle of centralized power.
On a historical level, these "legacies" may be the specific products of the times that can be acknowledged and acquiesced.
But herein lies the paradox.
Most of the Qing court dramas do not belong to the historical dramas that are covered with coffins, but are more in the direction of "drama".
This leads to the audience's anticipation:
You can talk about an outdated dynasty, but you can't talk about an outdated philosophy.
"Prime Minister Liu Luoguo":
There are rods and scales between heaven and earth
The scales are the common people
"Kangxi Weifu Private Interview":
Jinwa Jinluan Palace, the emperor can't see it
The people are the heavens
"Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan":
To ascend for the common people of the world
What do they have in common?
It is to stand at the bottom perspective, emphasize humanistic care, and establish a new discourse power in the background of the times.
So on that basis.
You see how "Yanxi Palace" is done
The same queen loves the emperor deeply, and she also sees the concubines being favored.
How did she react?
It's not jealousy, it's not anger.
It is a kind of appreciation of being in power and watching the fire from the other side.
When, where, and where
None of them could stop her from rising
It's a pity
It's a pity she's not a man
Equally.
The queen and Concubine Ling have been fighting for more than ten years, and they always break their muscles and bones.
But there is an unwritten agreement between them: the child is innocent and will never harm the child.
The minions were originally unattended.
As soon as the heroine came, she set a precedent.
The palace maid has someone to take care of when she does something wrong.
The exploited artisans were avenged.
A mat was laid on the road to give the guards a refuge from the heat.
And that's not all.
From the bottom to the top, the perspective is the same.
Because everyone was oppressed by the feudal imperial power, they were victims to varying degrees.
The queen cut her feet and was forced to die by the religion of etiquette;
The concubine who paid tribute became a madwoman in the attic;
The palace maid committed suicide on the eve of the wedding......
What is the Qing Palace?
It was the heyday of Chinese imperial power and patriarchy, but it was also the time when the oppression was at its worst.
When most palace fighting dramas focus on "winning or losing", they just ignore the side of the power tilt - those sacrificed "people".
Grace, rise and fall, should not be the protagonist.
Talent is.
Only the more empathetic the audience is to the specific people in the Forbidden City, the more difficult it is to disagree with feudal etiquette and male power.
It's like Sir noticed such a detail when he looked through the shooting footage.
The actor who played the eunuch who was the leader of Qianlong's side once mentioned "how to play a good eunuch".
The lowliest father-in-law is stinky
The skin is rotten
Because (the organs) were cut off
As I say now, I can't pee
As a father-in-law of a higher rank
Relatively speaking, you can change your clothes as often
But he must have walked with his legs between his legs
In the past, most of our impressions of the great eunuch were high-powered.
Su Peisheng, and "Concubine Su".
Li Lianying, a eunuch in power.
Cao Zhengchun, the heart of the tiger and wolf.
Each focuses on their power near the water.
There is little, if never, mention of the discomfort and plight they suffer as a person with disabilities.
As for other people who don't even have power, they don't even have a chance to speak out.
Like many people may have forgotten the title:
From the perspective of "Yanxi Palace".
Layers of palace fences and courtyards are deep.
Qianlong, who likes to seal the most, let Wei Yingluo sit on the jade seal and be "marked" like a collection.
The so-called imperial grace is actually still essentially captivity, occupation, taming, and assimilation of living people.
Today, it is probably difficult for you to see such a perspective of "more than ancient puppets" in an ancient puppet.
The success of "Yanxi Palace".
is because it is a costume drama, but it has an extremely accurate prediction of likes and dislikes for modern audiences.
"Yanxi Palace" is off the shelves, but the endless "Yanxi Palace" is also on the way.
04
Like dew and electricity, like a dream bubble
To be honest, if we talk about "Yanxi Raiders" or "Ruyi's Biography" today, it will inevitably make people feel that there is some afterthought.
It's like looking back at history from a God's perspective.
In those smoky clues, we always have a way to find them.
But.
If Sir wants to say that the stamina of "Yanxi Palace" has actually lasted until the present?
We may no longer remember the story of Wei Yingluo.
But countless people have actually been following Wei Yingluo's footsteps and moving forward.
For example, character design
This year, the reputation of the evil girl has become popular.
Those female characters who are not sexually and lovely, and dare to compete for fame and fortune, become the "uncrowned queen".
The gastritis pills in the past are today's "miracle Wanwan";
The female supporting actress Ye Bingsheng has become a beautiful and miserable woman in the hearts of the audience.
We are increasingly welcoming characters who are outspoken and no longer hold back.
Why?
Essentially, we subconsciously reflect the frustrations we have suffered on our own kind, hoping to have a second emotional outlet outside of real life.
Even if these satisfactions are short-lived and cheap, they can at least really comfort people.
Or rather, the kernel
If you look carefully at the previous text, you may also find that "Yanxi Raiders" is actually a short drama at that time.
The elements are complete: cool text, era, blackening.
Popular routines: pure love, workplace, revenge.
These elements presented in a costume drama have now been diluted, constantly recycled, and reused.
Era + Shuangwen, isn't it "I Was a Stepmother in the 80s"?
Blackening + revenge, isn't it "Black Lotus Upper Position Manual"?
Workplace + Shuangwen, isn't it "Rebirth: I Be a Nanny in the Boss Short Drama"?
The texture and workmanship of these short dramas are not exquisite, but the audience put down their figures, and it is really fragrant every minute.
The sinking market is gradually expanding.
It seems to be more and more evident that with the changes in the general environment, viewing habits are iterating with it, and the audience's demand for entertainment pain points in the 2.0 era.
So you see.
A Wei Yingluo encompasses the "skin" of the current traffic boom and the "core" of the popular short drama.
It's just that time is rushing.
At that time, we didn't know that the "bad drama" at that time was already the culmination that is beyond our reach today.
Six years have passed.
There are still very few works that can reach the popularity of "Yanxi Palace".
Six years ago, we could still see "Yanxi Palace", which urged ordinary people to make progress, and looked at success and progress with the naked eye.
And now, only "God" and "Zun" are worthy of the table.
Xianxia has no "people" on the side, and can no longer be called "chivalry".
Therefore, back to "Yanxi Raiders", it became popular again.
If there was still a contest between "commodities" and "works" at the time when "Yanxi Palace" was located, its success was the result of the former being embraced by the market and thus winning for a short time.
Well now.
The audience didn't even have such a struggle.
We only care about whether we are "flattered" and whether we are "satisfied".
Is this a bad thing?
To be honest, Sir doesn't really know.
面来看。
The short drama became popular, and Mimon became popular; Ruyi was scolded, and became famous; Juanzi and Wanyan Huide became the new goddesses; "The world is a huge grass platform" has become a hot stalk of the Internet of the year.
The reason for all this.
It's because most of us are still cheesy, still grassroots, and will be laughed at again and again by rotten stalks, and fall in love with the most primitive emotions and stories.
It is a testament to our aesthetic regression.
But dig a little deeper.
More likely, we begin to see through the void itself, disgusted with all the "laxity" of embellishment and pretense.
Disgust with overconsumption, disgust with pretending, disgust with personas, disgust with filters – disgusted with everything that makes your already tired self even more tired.
So even if consumption is downgraded, entertainment is downgraded, and the environment is downgraded.
We're all happy to do it.
So on this basis, maybe it doesn't matter whether it's "vulgar" or "elegant".
Important:
Whether it achieves true empathy, whether it gives us the courage to destroy the chain of contempt.
As long as it does that.
Even if it's an illusion like electricity, as long as it's sincere enough, it will still make us pay for it one after another.
After all.
Just like the line in "Yanxi Raiders" said.
Inside and outside the red wall, in fact, all living beings are suffering.
The same is true of the flowery harem
Everyone is a play
Sing a prosperous and prosperous Qingming world
People say that the deep palace is lonely
Is it out of this red wall?
You can do whatever you want
Shinong Industry and Commerce
The husband is camping
The wife takes care of the housework and works hard all day long
Compared to them
Why should the concubine be resentful?
