The domestic drama market in May was silent for half a month, and finally ushered in the long-awaited "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2".
Now Douban's evaluation has also been lifted with the start of the plot.
However, looking at it, almost all the bad reviews, although these bad reviews are really, really true, they have also been unanimously rebuked by many loyal fans.
Many viewers said that this second season is completely a dog's tail mink, and the original sense of quality has been left behind, in exchange for all rotten stalks.
In addition, the rhythm is inexplicable, so the sense of quality is seriously lowered.
So how, exactly? Let's take a look.
Let's look at the audience reviews first
"It's only the first episode, and it doesn't have the look and feel of the first season at all, and many of the actors are too deliberate, especially with exaggerated expressions.
Even the old drama bones are covered with dust. ”
"The plot is all rotten Internet memes, so low that it can't be done, and the characters' reactions are not careful."
"There is an indescribable strangeness in camera movement and rhythm, losing the original sense of appearance of costume schemes, and more like a short drama in pursuit of traffic."
The bad reviews of the plot are reflected
First of all, the illustrations of the modern theme at the beginning are really boring and dissuasive, and the atmosphere of ancient costume conspiracy has become the feeling of a modern time-traveling drama.
It seems that all the plot arrangements are not intended to advance the narrative process, but to construct and present the characters.
For example, the scene where his father received the news of Fan Xian's death and hurriedly met Emperor Qing, as well as Emperor Qing's embarrassed appearance after learning the news.
Both are completely unrecognizable with the attitude image of the first season.
As for the part where Emperor Qing stomped his feet and wanted to see people, it was even more embarrassing, his voice was not loud, and he did not have the sense of majesty of the first season at all.
Most of the actors' acting skills are too exaggerated, especially the role of Fan Xian's aunt, whose performance is exaggerated, which is really uncomfortable.
There is also the part where Fan Xian and Wang Qinian returned to Beijing in disguise, I really want to ask the director, should I explain to the audience what "disguise" is?
I changed into a set of clothes.
Stripped of the gorgeous costumes, without covering his face or other covers, he appeared at the gate of the city in such a bright and open manner.
Then, the two of them had to pretend to be "cat-waisted" to sneak into the city, which was really brainless.
From the perspective of the business world, a complete imitation of the novel is not desirable, because such an act tends to reveal too much plot.
However, the principle of moderation should be mastered when it comes to the use of memes, so as to avoid turning the plot into an inferior meme.
Take the scene of the girl in Wang Qinian's family called Baba as an example, this part is extremely low.
While it's clear that today's directors love memes, it's important to note that their performance in building humorous plots is hard to appreciate.
There is also an inexplicable embarrassing scene in the second episode where Fan Xian finally met Emperor Qing after he came back from faking his death, Fan Xian first made a false statement about his own guilt, in order to beg Emperor Qing to forgive him for the crime of bullying the king.
Then, Fan Xian himself came to talk to himself in embarrassment, and Emperor Qing then asked Fan Xian to get out after an inexplicable struggle.
As for the second prince, although he is the original team, the hairstyle and exaggerated appearance of the second prince and the personal guard can simply make people dance to the Pacific Ocean.
lost the "Yan Bingyun" played by Xiao Zhan, the failure of the failure
In the second part, for some reason, many characters were replaced, and many of the bad reviews happened to Yan Bingyun, who played a heavier role.
After all, Xiao Zhan, who had the highest "expectation" in the first season, has been in a position for five years, and his current coffee position is no longer suitable for playing Yan Bingyun.
As we all know, Yan Bingyun is a complex and multifaceted character, who is both a spy for Nanqing and a descendant of the villain Sean.
In the first season, his betrayal added a climax to the plot and made the audience look forward to the drama for five years.
And Xiao Zhan's performance is also impressive.
The change of roles naturally led to the comparison of the audience.
In particular, in order to inherit from the previous season, the series arranged for Wu Xingjian and Xiao Zhan to appear in the same scene together.
This undoubtedly provides the audience with an opportunity to contrast.
However, in the second season, when Wu Xingjian took over the acting, he felt that his performance was a little flat, and his smile was always the same.
It looks a little dull and has a strange expression.
The atmosphere of the whole show is not as mysterious and touching as the first season, but it gives people a very peaceful feeling.
There are also lens filters, which were too much in the second season, as if adding layers of beautification effects, making the picture lose its original texture.
And most people's evaluation of appearance is not as high as before.
There are also people on the Internet who directly say that it is not as good as last season, and they miss the original Yan Bingyun, and Xiao Zhan is called back in the barrage.
In addition, Wu Xingjian's lines and action handling failed to please the audience.
His non-stop small movements make people look awkward, and even make people have a sense of Yang Mi's déjà vu, affecting the audience to immerse themselves in the plot.
Let's talk about styling.
Whether it's to maintain the style with the first season or whatever, Wu Xingjian's look this season is almost exactly the same as Xiao Zhan's last season.
Even the corners of the hair are the same.
It's obvious that the faces of the two people are different, and someone has already complained about the look in the first season.
This season, I feel that the texture of the hair is a little better, but the hairstyle has not changed, and it fails to highlight the characteristics of the actors themselves, which makes people feel that it doesn't look out of tune.
It's even completely because of Xiao Zhan's absence, so he tries to reproduce it.
Yan Bingyun is such an important role, at the beginning of the change, I was looking forward to seeing something new, but I showed it to the audience when the broadcast started?
The dull thinking look, the undistinctive face, and the worries about acting skills, just the action of pursing the lips is enough to disappoint many people.
There is also the aspect of character building.
Yan Bingyun in the second season is also very dramatic compared to the first season, Yan Bingyun in the first season is a thoughtful and very urban character.
Because of the influence of the growth background, it seems a little depressing and gloomy.
And Yan Bingyun in the original book is a beautiful man with good looks and a cold temperament, who is a playboy who is high up in the enemy country and is known to the world.
In contrast, Yan Bingyun in the second season, aside from the low appearance, the temperament is not at the same level at all.
It's more like a rich family in modern society, pampered.
is not like a person who has experienced years of lurking and torture, and he has not shown the inner world of the character of Yan Bingyun through interpretation at all.
Overall, the character failures in the second season are obvious, and the quality bar is not as good as the first season.
Now, "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2" has been broadcast, I don't know what you think in front of the screen? Did it really respond to the conclusion that the second season died?
