From the popularity of the premiere of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" to a record high of 32906, and the real-time rating of 2.2% of CCTV 8, it can be seen how much Guangpu audiences are looking forward to this once phenomenal drama king.
But the first few episodes still disappointed fans of the show.
First of all, the plot atmosphere of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is obviously different from that of the first season, and there is a tendency to move closer to comedy dramas.
I remember that at the end of the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years" in 2020, the scene where Xiao Fan was killed by Yan Bingyun was not in the original book, and in view of the excellent reputation and results of the first season, not too many people objected to this ending.
And in the following years, whenever the drama "Celebrating More Than Years" is mentioned, many people will focus on the question of "Is Fan Xian dead"? It is exactly the same as the attitude of various passers-by in the modern chapter of the second season.
At least it proves that in the finale of the first season, the "hook" strategy of letting Fan Xian be killed is successful!
And this question seems to have been interpreted in the official trailer of the first version of "Celebrating More Than Years 2". After Lord Xiao Fan died, Chen Pingping, who received the news, suddenly threw herself out of her wheelchair and fell to the ground helplessly, looking at Fan Xian's dead secret letter note, which was particularly sad.
I always thought that at the beginning of the second season, the whole drama would be immersed in the sad atmosphere of Fan Xian's fake death.
But I never expected that when "Celebrating More Than Years 2" was launched, Li Jian's theme song was still bright and atmospheric, and after the news of Fan Xian's death was transmitted back to Kyoto, it would be such a funny scene.
The first flying pigeon rushed into the palace, and Emperor Qing ran out of the inner hall, staggering without the slightest image of the emperor.
I was stunned for a while after reading the original book, screenwriter, have you forgotten? Emperor Qing, he is not a fake emperor, he is still a great grandmaster, a great grandmaster!
In this palace where no one can snoop, knowing that his illegitimate son is dead, he is in a hurry, and he will definitely not stagger and run in the palace!
Screenwriter: What are you trying to express? Does the audience think that Emperor Qing is heartbroken because of Fan Xian's death and injury?
P, he didn't even let go of Fan Xian's mother, who had helped him, wearing a mask in front of everyone to weigh the pros and cons, how sad could he be?
Then another pigeon rushed to the inspection institute, and Chen Pingping also threw herself out of the wheelchair and looked at the note helplessly, but I was not sad anymore, because the atmosphere was obviously wrong!
The sad mood has not yet brewed, he immediately shouted to gather the people of his inspection institute, and entered the palace angrily, what's the matter, just want to turn his face directly with Emperor Qing?
When I arrived at the palace, Chen Pingping met Fan Xian's cheap father Fan Jian, and I learned that he was going to the palace to talk about cross talk.
In the palace, he and Fan Jian said a word, and occasionally howled at Emperor Qing, who couldn't shrink out, and analyzed Fan Xian's death clearly, the rhythm sounded strange and uncomfortable, and I always felt that they were not following the plot, like watching Deyun Club talk about cross talk.
In the follow-up, the feeling of "going to the wrong set" became stronger and stronger, and Fan Xian met the prince talking about stand-up comedy; Fan Xian met the second prince and talked about double-talk again; Fan Xian met the eldest prince and the second prince together, talking about group comedy.
In addition, in the entire first episode, except for the causes and consequences of Fan Xian's death for more than ten minutes, the rest of the time is funny. For example, Fan Xian and Wang Dogleg entered the city.
Encounter all kinds of marketing about Xiao Fan, to be honest, this kind of entertainment is similar to adjusting the atmosphere of the plot, you just put it for five minutes, ten minutes, and you spend half of the first episode filming these contents.
So after the premiere of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", many people were complaining about the content injection, and they really didn't wronged the main creator.
First of all, the death of Xiao Fan was originally a bridge for the marketing design of the sequel, and there are certain logical doubts about its rationality and necessity.
You start to round this paragraph in the second season, and it's okay to pick up Fan Xian and return to Beijing, I hope the plot is a little lighter, and a little funny content is added, but I watched five episodes, and half of the invalid content is ineffective, and the plot is very dragging.
If the content of the original work is less, and the main creator has no way to inject water, it is understandable, there is no way, the problem is the screenwriter, you can't finish filming the 7 volumes and 831 chapters of the original content of "Celebrating More Than Years", how many things about conspiracy you haven't filmed, what's the point of you filming these details?
According to my original estimate, from Fan Xian's return to Beijing, to the fight against the forces of the second prince and the first line, confiscating Baoyue Tower, and sending Fan's younger brother to Northern Qi to make money, such content can be completed in three episodes at best in film and television dramas.
But when I saw the 5th episode of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", I went to Fan Xianzhi to demonstrate that Si Zhe temporarily closed Baoyue Tower, returned to the mission and followed the group into Beijing, and completely broke the fake death situation.
I also went to the platform to watch the preview of episode 9, and I only went to Fan Xian to take over the inspection institute to vigorously rectify it, and I didn't even shoot Chen Pingping instructing the shadow to assassinate Emperor Qing at the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, not to mention the famous scene where Fan Xian was stabbed by the shadow for saving Emperor Qing, and then underwent surgery.
At this pace, when will I see Fan Xian sniping Yan Xiaoyi with Barrett? When will I be able to watch the Dadongshan Grand Master Showdown?
Although I will definitely finish "Celebrating More Than Years 2", the quality of the second season will reduce my enthusiasm for this phenomenal IP a lot.
