The premiere popularity of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" exceeded 30,000, becoming the first drama in history to enter the hit club on the first day of broadcasting, which should be a great joy to celebrate.
However, behind this bustle, the comment section was inundated with a large number of bad reviews.
First of all, the collapse of the character design and the distortion of the plot really brought the audience an extremely bad experience of watching the drama.
In the second season, some of the characters' personalities have seriously deviated, as if they have suddenly departed from the originally set trajectory and become extremely incomprehensible and elusive.
The character who originally had a distinct personality and clear behavior logic in the first season seemed to be a different person in the second season, which made people wonder.
Take Fan Xian as an example, the plot revolves around him, but it loses the wonderful group portrait effect in the first season.
In the first season, each character has their own unique charm and storyline, intertwined with each other to form a colorful world, but in the second season, this richness is greatly reduced, and it seems extraordinarily thin and weak.
For example, the design of the plot of Fan Xian's fake death is particularly abrupt and unreal.
In the logic of real life, such a plot seems so blunt that it is difficult for people to resonate, and the audience often has a feeling of being forcibly pulled out of the plot when watching, and it is difficult to truly immerse themselves in the story.
Originally, everyone was full of expectations for the character of Fan Xian, expecting to see how he skillfully maneuvered and continued to grow in complex situations, but now Fan Xian's behavior and decision-making are often confusing, far from the witty and brave image in the first season.
There are also some other characters, their personality changes also lack sufficient foreshadowing and explanation, which makes people full of confusion and incomprehension when watching, this kind of confusion in the character design and unreasonable distortion of the plot greatly destroys the audience's enthusiasm and interest in watching the drama, making the audience feel extremely disappointed.
The change in the color of the filter has undoubtedly become one of the focus of criticism from the audience.
When compared to the first season, it is clear that the filters and tones of the second season show a very significant brighter character.
This change is extremely abrupt for the audience, because it seems so out of place with the deep atmosphere that a conspiracy drama should have.
Originally, the calm, restrained and mysterious atmosphere created by the first season through the color palette and filters can make the audience well immersed in the turbulent world.
However, with such bright filters and tones in the second season, it seems that a powerful force is forcibly pulling the audience out of the originally carefully constructed plot world.
It's like being engrossed in admiring a beautiful painting, when you are suddenly disturbed by a blinding bright light, which instantly breaks that focus and concentration.
In the process of watching the play, the audience has gradually integrated into the world full of power struggles with the development of the plot, but such a tone change is like a discordant note, which greatly affects the coherence and dedication of watching the play.
For example, in some tense and exciting plots, bright tones cannot well set off the tense and depressing atmosphere, making it difficult for the audience to produce due tension; In some scenes that need to show the complex emotions of the characters, this bright tone cannot effectively create the corresponding atmosphere, resulting in the expression of the characters' emotions being a little thin and weak.
The audience was looking forward to continuing to go deep into the world full of scheming wisdom in the second season to experience more thrilling and resourceful battles, but such a change in the color of the filter greatly reduced their experience, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of dissatisfaction and regret in their hearts, which is undoubtedly a serious interference and destruction of the audience's experience of watching the show.
In addition, the excessive traces of performance are also a prominent problem.
Some of the performances of the actors in the play were pointed out by the audience as flawed, and the performances of Wang Churan and Wu Xingjian attracted much attention.
Wang Churan's smirk and Yan Bingyun's frequent pursing of lips and other performance details are too deliberate and exaggerated, making it difficult for the audience to ignore them, and they constantly jump out of the plot to pay attention to these unnatural performances during the viewing process.
In addition, the series is full of a large number of memes and ad placements, which makes the plot seriously out of focus.
The blunt insertion of these memes not only did not bring humor, but made the plot seem nondescript; And too much advertising placement seriously interferes with the audience's understanding and investment in the plot, making watching the drama an experience that is constantly interrupted and disturbed.
Viewers had high expectations for the second season, but the quality of the actual episodes presented did not meet expectations, which led some viewers to reluctantly choose to abandon the plot and turn their attention to other things such as the Internet and mobile phones.
Such a phenomenon has a multifaceted impact on society.
From the perspective of the film and television industry, it warns practitioners not only to focus on popularity and commercial interests, but also to put the quality and connotation of the work in the first place.
The shaping of the character, the polishing of the plot, and the improvement of the performance all need to be carefully carved, and only in this way can we win the long-term love and support of the audience.
At the same time, it also prompts film and television creators to find a more appropriate balance between innovation and catering to the market, and cannot sacrifice the quality of the work and the audience's feelings for short-term benefits.
For the audience, this makes them more rational and prudent when choosing film and television works, no longer blindly chasing popular dramas, but paying more attention to the substantive content and quality of the works.
This is conducive to cultivating more mature aesthetic concepts and cultural literacy of the audience, and promoting the healthy development of the cultural consumption market.
In today's era of information explosion, the audience's word-of-mouth and evaluation have a powerful communication power.
The controversy over the premiere of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is a wake-up call for the entire film and television industry, and it also makes us reflect deeply on how to create truly excellent works.
I hope that future film and television works can learn from this lesson, treat creation with higher standards and requirements, and dedicate more high-quality and in-depth masterpieces to the audience.
The film and television industry should also take this opportunity to continuously improve its professional level and artistic pursuit to achieve sustainable development.
The audience should continue to maintain a rational and objective attitude, actively participate in the evaluation and supervision of film and television works, and jointly create a good cultural environment.
Let us look forward to the future film and television works that will continue to bring forth the new, inject new vitality and impetus into the prosperity and development of society and culture, and make our spiritual and cultural life more colorful and full of charm.
Every work should become the nourishment of our souls, not a perfunctory work that disappoints, only in this way can the film and television industry move forward steadily in the tide of the times and bring more value and meaning to the society.
