Entering May, there is one very important and popular theme missing from the national drama market, that is, urban dramas.
At present, there are more suspense dramas, such as "Faint Fire", "Unspeakable" and "New Life" and other works have achieved good ratings.
Urban dramas have a wide audience and can be called the "traffic password" in Chinese dramas, although there are few good dramas, but after waiting for a long time, "The Inheritor of Family Glory" starring Charmaine Sheh is finally here!
After updating five episodes, many people said that it was not enough to watch at all, and the wonderful plot made people go deep into the drama. Especially when I saw the sentence "Why can't the heir of a wealthy family be a woman", the sense of substitution instantly came up.
From the perspective of the three-dimensional and presentation of the story, this is a very flavorful Hong Kong drama, which cuts to the theme at the beginning, but the branch line is relatively messy.
In fact, as a continuation of the first story, the second part should have more exciting ingredients, but what I didn't expect was that the Douban comment area was seriously polarized.
From these evaluations, it is not difficult to see that the controversy of this drama is not small.
Unexpectedly, Charmaine Sheh's new drama "The Inheritor of Family Glory" had a mess, and the reasons for the bad reviews given by the audience were surprisingly consistent.
What's the problem?
01
After chasing five episodes in a row, the audience gave a very intuitive evaluation.
Here's what it says:
After watching it for ten minutes, it is a bad drama atmosphere, and the pediatric house fights, illogical twists, and filters that are not real enough make it difficult to get into the play.
There are also evaluations that say:
It looks not only rotten and earthy, but also reveals a poor sour smell everywhere. There are also many flaws in the script, which is really a waste of Charmaine Sheh and Lin Feng's fifth collaboration......
The audience's eyes are bright, and since they have given a lot of bad reviews, it shows that the work itself does have some "hard flaws".
Judging from the content of the first five episodes, there are several issues that cannot be ignored.
The first is the group portrait design. Originally, the characters in the first part were relatively simple, or it can be said to be monotonous, and they were all related to the main line.
But in the second part, there are a lot of small characters that are not related to the main line, and even all kinds of aunts, little mothers and illegitimate children have come out, can this not be messy.
When narrating, these small characters have to be taken care of, and as a result, the plot jumps more frequently, which causes confusion and redundancy, and I can't even understand what I want to express.
The second is the issue of filters for the work.
The audience is right, at first glance, the characters in the play are very hazy, especially the heroine, as if there is an invisible "fog".
But when it comes to the actor's face, this filter has completely changed, and the real one can't be more real, even the acne marks and subtle wrinkles are clearly visible.
Could it be that this is the production level of TVB?
Finally, the narrative is old-fashioned, lacking in innovation, and even logical loopholes.
The opening part briefly explains the background of the story and leads to the source of the matter. In itself, the theme of the play is to highlight the strong woman Qiu Haoer, but it turns out to blend all the side stories together, reducing the dramatic conflict.
Next, the narrative surrounding Qiu Haoer gradually increased, she accepted the group's things, but was "plotted" again and again by the people around her.
In addition to dealing with the ill intentions of the people around her, Qiu Haoer was also excluded in the entire family, and even became the center of the storm in the house fight.
Can this old-fashioned narrative line still whet the audience's appetite?
If you watch too much, you will have aesthetic fatigue, plus lines, scenes and dramatic filters, you really can't watch it at all, no wonder many people give up the drama after watching it for ten minutes.
02
The plot part failed to completely impress more audiences, but the cast of this drama is very interesting. is all powerful actors, and their acting skills are basically online.
The first, Charmaine Sheh
Charmaine Sheh plays the heroine, interpreting a strong woman in the workplace, this type of role can be regarded as her comfort zone, and there is no pressure at all in her performance.
Let's talk about a few clips with a big emotional twist.
When Qiu Hao'er saw her grandfather lying on the ground unconscious, she looked anxious, she didn't expect such a thing to happen at all. Knowing that the old man's life was not in danger, her expression slowly relaxed.
On the board of directors, she was in high spirits and ready to take over all affairs, but at this time she was investigated, and the whole person was directly stunned, with obvious surprise.
Qiu Haoer's overall feeling is to be vigorous and resolute, which is in line with the posture that a strong woman should have, and Charmaine Sheh's performance should be just everywhere.
second place, Lin Feng
is also an old acquaintance of the audience, an actor with good strength.
In the play, the lawyer Gao Jun played by Lin Feng has a not very serious atmosphere, and even a little flamboyant.
He was faced with a relatively serious case, and at this time he changed again, putting away his hypocrisy and frivolity, and instead being able to concentrate on the case.
But when he met Qiu Haoer, his "attributes" were completely exposed.
casually joking, deliberately expressing his concern for Qiu Haoer, but the other party didn't buy it at all and replied directly.
He also smiled and didn't argue with Qiu Hao'er. More often than not, he always pretends to be relaxed, but in fact he has a lot of things in his heart.
Lin Feng's acting skills are also no problem, and he has cooperated with Charmaine Sheh many times, and there is already a tacit understanding that does not need to be spoken.
third place, Xu Shaoxiong
is a veteran actor in Hong Kong dramas, and his acting skills are very flexible and vivid.
When Qiu Shouren played by Xu Shaoxiong first appeared, his little wife was coquettish, and he was proud of the spring breeze.
Hearing that Zhu Liqi wanted the ancestral jade, his eyes widened directly, he didn't expect such an excessive request.
In order to evade this problem, he hurried downstairs after answering a phone call, which was enough to highlight the shrewdness and flexibility of this character.
From the perspective of role completion, Xu Shaoxiong's performance is also no problem.
In addition, there are also good actors such as Luo Ziyi, Luo Jialiang, Liu Jiang, Huang Haoran and Liang Jingqi in this drama, and the characters created have their own highlights.
Write at the end:
"The Inheritor of Family Glory" basically has no innovative elements in the story design, it is still old-fashioned, and even the house fight is less interesting.
What greatly reduces the quality of the plot is the chaotic logic, the main line in the first five episodes is not clear enough, and the branch lines are too confusing, making it impossible to tell what point of view they want to express.
Fortunately, several actors in the play are relatively powerful, the acting skills of the heroine Charmaine Sheh and the male protagonist Lin Feng are all online, and the re-cooperation between the two has also become a highlight.
It's just that the polarized word-of-mouth of the show is difficult to avoid, and there is even a tendency to intensify, do you think this show is good?
