Tan Songyun and Xu Kai's new drama "You Are More Beautiful Than Starlight" launched four episodes on the first day. This TV series adapted from Jiu Yuexi's novel tells the story of Ji Xing, a workplace worker played by Tan Songyun, who is determined to start a business after stepping on a pit in the workplace, and upgrades from cooperation to love with Han Ting, an early alumnus, Bole, and investor.
If you shoot the struggle process of the girl who has just entered the workplace and is self-reliant, and take into account the love of the male and female protagonists, even if you can't shoot the realm of "The Good Wife of the Proud Bone" and "Bankruptcy Sisters", it will not be a bad drama. As a result, after four episodes, this drama really disgusted me, the workplace is just scraps, in order to fulfill the male and female protagonists CP, even the basic logic is ignored, almost all the common problems of domestic dramas are in decline, and they are so embarrassing that they can pick out a castle with their toes. Is this taking the audience for fools? Besides, even if it's pig feed, it's more nutritious than this thing.
Slot 1: The logic of the short drama shoots the workplace and levitates into outer space
Han Ting played by Xu Kai is obviously taking the route of idol drama hegemony, and the screenwriter arranges a sister role to compete for control of the group, but the younger brother who returns from overseas with an unstable foundation can always be more skilled, and he will calm the company's internal strife by raising his eyebrows, so that the shareholders have nothing to say.
At the beginning of the first episode, he grasped the weakness of a shareholder to accept the benefits of suppliers, and let the other party stand on his side, just had a little bit of the meaning of a modern palace fighting drama, but as a result, all the later bridges became nonsense that did not understand the operation and workplace of large companies, and it was according to the logic of the short drama to plug the bridges, lower the level of the TV series, levitation, and blood to outer space.
For example, the first time the sister and brother fought each other, Han Ting stirred up the shareholders' meeting, is this playing at home? The shareholders' meeting of a listed company is very formal, and it needs to be notified 15 days in advance, how can it be canceled because one or two shareholders are unable to attend? And the younger brother who hasn't arrived at the company knows about it, and the sister doesn't know it yet, this is a family business meeting at the public company meeting, right?
The bridge section in the follow-up meeting made people laugh off their big teeth, the shareholders openly called the board to the chairman, Han Ting's face did not change his face, and the typical short drama filming method, it is difficult to understand how much interest the shareholder of the board exchanged, and this kind of company infighting should not be placed under the table? The chairman of the airborne board of directors dared to do this without knowing the details, how did this reckless shareholder get to where he is today?
My sister seems to be just a tool person added by the screenwriter casually, putting the discord between her sister and brother on the surface, and she has no real skills, and will only instigate other shareholders to rebel.
Normally, what resolutions does a listed company have, it depends on who has the right to speak and who has the shares, after the four episodes are broadcast, if it is Han Ting's grandfather who is in charge of the group behind him, he didn't even show up, and the shareholders' meeting does not need to vote? There are so many people sitting below the conference, which is very incomprehensible, this crew is so poor that they even have to save the money of the special actors!
It is not an exaggeration to say that "You Are More Beautiful than Starlight" is suspended in outer space, in addition to the company's high-level nonsense, the workplace below is also very nonsense.
Ji Xing's bonus leader is gone, and for such a big project as the R&D robot Xiaobai, didn't he sign a labor contract and a supplementary contract? I was slapped on the ass by the boss of the marketing department and knew to call the police, but at this time, I was instigated, and I only knew that I resigned and didn't know how to apply for labor arbitration? The funniest thing is that when it came time to resign, the screenwriter remembered the contract and said that she had a non-compete agreement.
There are also elements of sexual harassment in the workplace that are also embarrassing. Did you always take her to socialize and dedicate her to customers? Everyone is a decent person, there is no food, no wine, and it is too unrealistic to play a card and use your hands and feet! The same is true for the company's celebration banquet, it is not the relationship between the superiors and subordinates of a department, how dare you reach out and slap someone's buttocks? If you say that it is more realistic to touch your hands and put your shoulders on them.
In the third and fourth episodes, Ji Xing resigned and went to the countryside for free clinics, shouldn't he hurry up to find a new job or consider starting a business with alumni? Originally, the character setting of the TV series, Ji Xing worked hard to make money to buy a house and get married, at this time, he didn't need to make money, like a fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, he began to sympathize with all beings, and Han Ting, the boss of the boss, couldn't sleep at night to watch the starlight, please, pity yourself before taking pity on others!
Slot 2: There are a lot of mistakes in the details, and the creative attitude is too perfunctory
"You Are More Beautiful Than Starlight" was filmed in Qingdao, although it is a virtual city name, but at least it is also on the earth, in the first-tier cities in China, not a science fiction theme! That grounding is very important, and the details are hard work, and only when they are real enough can they be credible and resonate with the audience. However, in the small details, the mistakes of this show are innumerable.
There was a problem at the beginning. The plane landed to pick up Han Ting's conversation with shareholders. Having said that they have arrived at their destination, the bosses who take first class and business class will get off the plane first, and what does it mean to sit there and chat? It would be much more reasonable if it was changed to getting on the plane.
Ji Xing got up early to go to work, found that the subway was out of service, and switched to riding a shared bicycle, which was to pave the way for her and Han Ting's first intersection after graduation. But looking at that "warm reminder", how can the subway station close its station because of the "upgrade of flood control safety measures"? Have the screenwriters and directors never taken the subway? Moreover, the payment must be "XX Metro Company", and it cannot be a certain station.
The scene of the celebration banquet was arranged like a drinking party, and there were few people, which was obviously unreasonable. With Ji Xing's position, such a large listed company, the general meeting may be qualified to enter the market, if only such a small number of people, at least shareholders and above are eligible to participate.
After the sexual harassment incident, Ji Xing was talked about behind his colleagues' backs and was put in small shoes by the leaders above, which was too obvious! It's still an inferior technique for short dramas, and everyone knows that Ji Xing is Han Ting's person, and Zeng always has no points in his heart? According to the normal logical development, Ji Xing should be on the rise, promoted and raised, this kind of listed group pays attention to standing in line, which side have you always been on?
The discussion behind the backs of colleagues, the targeting and exclusion of Ji Xing is also incredible, how can such a scene occur in a normal workplace! At most, it is the pantry and the bathroom to talk in a whisper, since the chairman is involved, can you still post on the company's intranet, you can't find the IP, and you can't hold the individual accountable?
After being sexually harassed, he took a taxi home on a rainy night, because the driver chattered a few words, Ji Xing insisted on getting out of the car, how many middle two is this! Such a far-fetched setting, just for the next cliché plot to get home, is the boss getting off the car with an umbrella and sending the heroine home, this kind of similar idol drama has appeared hundreds of times, can the gameplay of the rotten street be saved!
Ji Xing's technical ability, I have to show it in the hospital, I really feel that the screenwriter and director don't even understand the computer when I see this. Ji Xing is in charge of the medical robot Xiaobai, even if she understands the medical system, but she has not done terminal maintenance work, how can she solve the problem of hospital system collapse? Better than the hospital's own engineers?
As for the presentation of the so-called system, it is like reinstalling the system, and the computer at the front desk of the hospital is the blue screen of death, what does this have to do with the medical system!
What's even more absurd is that Ji Xing communicated with the person in charge of the hospital in the office and repaired the system, how did Mrs. Liu know that she solved the problem?
Slot 3: The actor's acting skills pull the crotch, and the post-production filter is too thick
The main creator of this drama seems to take it for granted that the disgusting things in those idol dramas in the past are all liked and accepted by the audience, just like stirring a big pot of pig feed, they know that this is pig feed, and they think that it is right to feed you pig feed.
For example, the acting skills of the actors, it will not be any different if Xu Kai is changed to a human shape, anyway, he is not smiling and cold in the play, it seems that the boss should be like this, absolutely symbolic, and there is no need for any changes in the inner level.
No matter how delicate Tan Songyun's makeup is, she can't hide her 34-year-old age, her face is obviously tired, and she lacks the heroism and agility that a character should have.
The other supporting roles, influenced by the bridge, are almost pulled to the level of actors in bloody short dramas, symbolic, exaggerated, and all elements and emotions are particularly straightforward. For example, the female colleague sitting behind Ji Xing, when she talked about meeting the boss by chance, her appearance and the sentence "I'm excited when I think about it" almost showed me that I was angry.
The character setting is really a failure! Even if Ji Xing is portrayed as a stupid white sweet, she is not a fool! Obviously, it was the takeaway brother who rubbed the Maybach, and I put up with it when you went back to take responsibility, but asked the other party directly, "How much do I need to compensate you?" "Isn't it waiting for the other party to assess the loss and issue a bill, and then look at the amount? If the other party returns 50,000 yuan, is it a direct transfer or what? And obviously wants to save money to buy a house, when it comes to such a heavy topic as losing money, Tan Songyun's face actually showed a sweet smile, and I gave a negative score for this performance.
In terms of art and setting, this drama is not real at all, but it is eye-catching, with warm colors as the base, all kinds of warm light, large backlight, thick filters, and distorted faces. The B&B in the town is also too beautiful, and the company's cocktail party is also very pompous, and the boss Han Ting takes a Maybach today, a Bentley tomorrow, and changes various luxury cars every day.
However, such a generous crew overturned ridiculously in small details, and the three sisters looked at the skirt with longing and coveted eyes, thinking how luxurious and expensive it was, but as soon as the camera turned, this was it?
Finally, I will complain again, Tan Songyun and Xu Kai really don't carry the drama at all, the word-of-mouth of "You Are More Beautiful Than Starlight" collapsed on the first day of its launch, and the five hot comments randomly displayed on the homepage have 3 one-star and one three-star, in addition to the points complained above, there are also many viewers who complain that the gap between the original work is too big.
In addition to the bad word-of-mouth, the popularity and attention of this drama are not very good, Douban has less than 600 short reviews, and there are no advertisements at the beginning and end of the first four episodes.
