On July 7, the TV series "Red Heat" revealed the schedule information: the show is scheduled to premiere on CCTV8 from July 15. This TV series is starring Huang Xiaoming, Wang Ou and other actors, and tells the story of the protagonists' chip entrepreneurship. The story itself is a work under the direction of creative writing, and the possibility of the play hitting the street is huge.
You might as well take a look at the plot synopsis of the show first:
The story tells the story of a group of top talents who responded to the upsurge of returning to China under the promotion of relevant national policies, faced difficulties, started to explore from scratch, constantly improved self-developed technology, promoted China's high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and interpreted the struggle story of "Chinese science and technology creators" from a new perspective.
Zhang Haichao, played by Huang Xiaoming in the play, and Li Dongsheng, played by Zhang Chao, are classmates and friends, and the two have brought together technical talents from all walks of life, overcome various difficulties, defeated the encirclement and interception of the capital market represented by Huang Zhongkai played by Li Zhiting, and completed a technological breakthrough. If the previous two were "invincible in the world when they are united, and they are each king when they are divided", then what kind of tide of the times will be set off when they join forces again?
The former name of this TV series is "Zongheng Xinhai". When you hear the name, you definitely understand. There is a saying on the Internet that the names of film and television dramas with homophonic stalks are basically bad dramas and bad movies. This "Red Heat" is actually in a similar situation. At the moment, its name has been changed, apparently correct. However, its plot content is already destined to enter the state of "half of the street before it starts".
Chip entrepreneurship, breaking through the international blockade, raising eyebrows, etc., these things, for now, still belong to the future, not the present. The TV series tells the story that has already happened in the present, so it is not convincing to the audience. On the contrary, it will stimulate the audience and make the audience think, why is our chip not far ahead? And this kind of stimulation will eventually regurgitate the show itself, and everyone will think that it is made up.
And the screenwriter of this TV series has actually learned the technique of "making up nonsense". Of course, this technology, in foreign countries, is not called nonsense, it is called creative writing. In our country, many universities also open this major, of course, this major has not cultivated any talents, and the ones that have been cultivated are all writing bastards, with a single number of paths.
Let's take a look at the resume of the screenwriter of this TV series. Yu Lulin, screenwriter, whose main works include "Song of the City - Burning Love in Shanghai", in 2021, served as the screenwriter of the TV series "Zongheng Xinhai". Yu Lulin, Chinese mainland screenwriter, musical director and executive director of Shanghai Huaqi Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., is a playwright who can write in both Chinese and English. He was the first non-American student to successfully pursue a master's degree in screenwriting at Carnegie Mellon University Graduate School. In 2016, he became the executive director of Shanghai Huaqi Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.
What does the Script Writing Graduate School at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States teach? It's just a set of creative writing that is taught. Writing, of course, is technical, and can be taught. But writing isn't just about technology, it's about more than just a prerequisite. For example, screenwriters should have a deep understanding of the content, industry, field, etc. they create, rather than relying on technology to make things up.
We might as well boldly speculate that this "Red Heat" must be the protagonists as soon as they come up, they will be open, with a mind beyond ordinary people, and then, teaming, research and development of chips, etc., and then, they will encounter economic problems, no investment, and then, there will be international capital forces to obstruct it, during this period, there must be the life stories of the protagonists, especially the stories of various life problems, and there must be love stories, especially the love stories between the male and female protagonists.
At the same time, this drama must devote a lot of time to the love story, and the least amount of time possible to the specific research and development of the chip. Why? Because the screenwriter himself is not familiar with the field of chip research and development, and is unwilling to collect style, he is unwilling to go deep into the front line for a few years or even longer. Therefore, she can only rely on creative writing techniques to build an old-fashioned plot, so as to achieve rapid profit from the script.
The group of creative writers, who are looked down upon, is here. They are fundamentally inexperienced and technological. This kind of work, whether it is a novel or a TV series, can make knowledgeable audiences see the routine at a glance. This kind of routine drama can only deceive low-end audiences. However, the current audience is no longer low-end.
Therefore, a TV series like "Red Heat", even if it is starring powerful actors like Huang Xiaoming and Wang Ou, it will still carry a huge risk of hitting the street - a triple hit in ratings, audience word-of-mouth and online broadcast numbers. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
