Preface
In addition to suspense dramas and spy war dramas, Bai Yueguang in most people's hearts is still an urban drama, and I still remember the time when urban dramas just "stood up", good dramas were lined up, and they were broadcast one by one.
Like "Ode to Joy" or "Thirty Only" and so on, these are the audience's favorites.
However, it is difficult to find a TV series of comparable quality now, either the casting is not good, or the acting skills are not good, and there are even more deadly plots and so on.
Nowadays, it is even more difficult to find a TV series that passes both the plot and acting.
On May 13, after "The Queen of News", Charmaine Sheh once again played the leading role, bringing a new urban drama.
In addition to her in this TV series, there is also Lin Feng, who appeared on May Day not long ago, and Luo Jialiang, Xu Shaoxiong, Huang Haoran, Zhang Fengni and other powerful actors leading the starring roles.
Just the two protagonists Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng's play is enough to surprise people, but I didn't expect the supporting roles to be all the acting skills, and it looks really eye-catching.
I thought that the reputation of this TV series would not be worse than that of "News Queen", however, everything went in an unexpected way, and as soon as it started, this TV series was swiped by one star, and the audience's reasons for bad reviews were even more surprisingly consistent.
The plot is corny and cliché, and it's hard to swallow
From the beginning of the first episode, the smell of "dog blood" can drill into the audience's heads across the screen.
It's 2024, how can there be such an embarrassing TV drama plot, entering the new century, and the slow development has begun to slowly throw away the label of "patriarchy", and this drama, as soon as the screen opens, is an old-fashioned setting.
The first thing that catches your eye is the heroine Qiu Haoer, as soon as this name is spoken, I believe many people have already guessed what kind of tone this family is.
This child is eager to beg for a child, and he does not hesitate to engrave his "Pan'er" wish on the eldest granddaughter's body, and some viewers have begun to revolt when they see this.
Not to mention anything else, just this "patriarchal" theme was already a topic from decades ago, and now I take it again, not to mention that it will start filming in July 2023, I thought it had been suppressed for many years.
Unexpectedly, in addition to "patriarchy", there are many old-fashioned themes in the play, which is simply a "collection drama" with outdated themes that I have seen in recent years, and the screenwriter has set the urban drama back 20 years by himself.
After the end of patriarchy, it was followed by "making a will to divide property", according to the tone of this rich man, everyone must have guessed that he was going to give the family property to his youngest grandson Qiu Zhibin, right?
However, the screenwriter of this TV series is still "smart", and he has long expected that we are on the first floor, so he can stand on the second floor.
Although Qiu Haoer is a female streamer, she is shrewd, and when the old man's illness worsened, the will she made turned out to be not the youngest grandson, but the eldest granddaughter Qiu Haoer.
Everyone in the family is dumbfounded, and the relationship is all messed up, of course, the screenwriter probably hopes to bring a little shock to the audience, but unfortunately, this plot is still quite boring.
To put the TV series simply, it is not a cool drama of the eldest grandson inheriting the company, but the "Hong Kong version of Journey to the West", and once suspected that Mrs. Qiu pushed her out because she went through hardships.
As soon as he found out that he was the heir, he was taken to the police station for tea the next day.
Watching a group of relatives try their best to be in the limelight and behave every day, she is tortured just by standing in the corner, and of course it is torture for the audience to watch.
However, this is not over, in addition to the plot, the interpretation of the characters is also too embarrassing to work.
Charmaine Sheh's performance has heavy traces, and the actors use too much force
Charmaine Sheh in the TV series "News Queen", behaves naturally, has countless fans, her acting skills are not muddy, and she looks like an elite fan, without a trace of superfluous expressions and movements.
However, when Charmaine Sheh arrived in this drama, it seemed to be downgraded, and all the performances could see the deliberate ingredients.
Just from outside the door, I found that my grandfather fell to the ground, and his movements were exaggerated as if he was performing a drama, for fear that the audience would not be able to grasp the emotional changes of the actors.
When she was outside the window, she was originally looking through the glass window, but before she could finish reading, she immediately moved her eyes to her closer, and immediately widened her eyes without the slightest excess.
The loss of that "inadvertent" feeling is all about two words: "blunt".
And when she opened the door, a series of movements highlighted the funny, and she chose to kneel between kneeling and not kneeling.
I saw that she hadn't approached her grandfather yet, and she had already put her legs on the floor in the middle of the road, and the second half of the road was completely supported by her hands and slid over.
In addition to Charmaine Sheh, Luo Ziyi, the actor of the little grandson, is even more angry to the point of "vomiting blood", and you can feel frightened by his overly violent acting skills across the screen.
But whenever he appears in the picture, his brows are so furrowed that he can almost kill mosquitoes, as the CEO of the group, he is simply a man with a small belly, and when he meets his subordinates, he is called an arrogant and domineering.
Before he could speak, he was already putting his hands in his pockets, frowning and sternly scolding, "What are you doing?" ”。
Do? I can't ask questions properly, and the position has not yet been secured, so I began to put up a big shelf.
When the power of attorney of the old man in power came down, he saw that his grandfather did not choose himself, so he went to the hospital bed of the unconscious grandfather and began to mumble to himself, the lost and pitiful appearance was completely two people just now.
Now, in front of his grandfather's hospital bed, he began to recall his past, and he could still talk about himself as he spoke, his voice directly raised an octave, took his grandfather's hand, and said excitedly: "I am still the only heir of the Qiu family in your mind." ”
Good guy, the old man is hovering on the line of life and death, are you still thinking about your grandfather's return to the light, and when you wake up, you say, "You are my heir"? Don't make people laugh to death.
In the TV series, if you want a plot without a plot, you need acting skills, and there is embarrassment, let's just say, is there still a need to watch this?
epilogue
Although this TV series is a small web drama, the current domestic "New Life" and "Unspeakable" have played at a good level, with novel themes and acting skills.
However, looking at today's Hong Kong dramas, even small-scale online dramas can be so embarrassing, and there are thunder points everywhere.
I just want to ask, can Hong Kong films and Hong Kong dramas come back?
