Relatively speaking, traffic stars tend to choose works with high attention and controversial topics to promote their career development.

Reflections and challenges in creation In the process of drama creation, the writer's character-building ability can guide the audience's emotional direction and promote the development of the story. For example, when depicting the characters, Forget Cub pays attention to the in-depth exploration of human nature and the expression of emotional levels. At present, screenwriters tend to abandon the traditional "villain" model and turn to a more diverse and profound interpretation of the role. Even in themes such as family dramas, the antagonist characters often have the characteristics of kindness or inner conflict to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the characters.
However, market demand has forced some plays to reduce the depth and complexity of villains and turn to the pursuit of emotional effects. This makes some villains too thin and more like props, unable to dig deep into their inner emotional world. Despite this, due to the pressure of public opinion on the creation of such villains, and the image is too extreme, it is easy to cause controversy and accusations from the audience, but with the improvement of the audience's aesthetic ability, excellent villains gradually gain more recognition and love.

It is hoped that more rich and diverse character images will emerge in the future, presenting a visual and auditory feast for the audience.
