The new drama "Snail and Yellow Oriole Bird" starring Lin Yun and Zhang Xincheng has been broadcast, I don't know how many people pay attention?
After six episodes were broadcast, there are not many people scoring on the Douban platform, and only more than 4,000 viewers have commented.
Surprisingly, it scored a low score of 4.7 on Douban.
Although there are many cases of playing one star on Douban without watching the drama, such a low rating is also a bit surprising.
Why?
Compare it to the original Japanese version, and you will understand.
The title of "Snail and Yellow Oriole Bird" may be confusing, but when it comes to its original work, the Japanese manga "Symphonic Lover's Dream", it is certainly a classic in the hearts of many audiences.
On the Douban platform, the series of TV series, movies, comics and books of Japan's "Symphonic Lover's Dream" are basically rated above 8.5 points, and the final chapter of the TV series even reached a high score of 9.3.
Symphonic Lover's Dream is a manga published by Japanese manga artist Tomoko Ninomiya on the theme of classical reasons, which tells the story of a fourth-year piano student at the Conservatory of Music, Shinichi Chiaki, who dreams of becoming a conductor, but is unable to study abroad because of the shadow of his childhood psychology and fear of flying. The male protagonist broke up with his ex-girlfriend because of his disagreement with the piano teacher, and fell into self-abandonment, until he overheard the beautiful piano sound of the student and was deeply attracted.
In order to increase the fun of the story, the heroine Noda's character is different from the elegant and noble appearance of the public.
After the male protagonist discovers that he and the student are neighbors, he almost can't stand the "rough" side of the heroine.
Although he liked the heroine's piano skills very much, he found that the heroine's living habits could not be complimented.
A classic scene in the story is that the heroine plays the piano in the garbage heap...
On the other hand, after the first ensemble between the two, the male protagonist began to find a purpose to stay in Japan...
Symphonic Lover's Dream was a huge hit in Japan at the time, with a cumulative circulation of more than 37 million copies, and the TV drama version began airing on Fuji TV in 2006 and a Korean version in 2014.
How big is its impact?
Many people in Japan fell in love with classical music as a result, and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, played by the New Nippon Philharmonic, exploded 20 times shortly after the TV series version was broadcast.
Tickets for the New Japan Philharmonic Regular Concert also quickly sold out, and tickets for symphonic lover's dream-themed concerts in other parts of Asia were hard to come by.
This phenomenon that spread to the classical music world is known as the "Noda Kei phenomenon".
"Snail and Yellow Oriole" is based on this original book.
However, although the goal of "sweet burning summer" was played after the start of the broadcast, many viewers did not buy the adaptation.
First, the problem of IP adaptation, the casting of the Japanese drama version and the manga version of the characters at that time are very suitable, for many viewers has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Many viewers feel that the casting of the Japanese drama version, Hiroshi Tamaki's appearance, makes the male protagonist more handsome and perfect than in the manga, and personable.
The cute purity in the Ueno tree also makes Noda Mei more spirited, adding charm to the character.
The audience's requirements for the Chinese adaptation are very high, and it is not easy to catch up later.
On the other hand, the Chinese adaptation caused some controversy as soon as it began broadcasting.
The original Japanese version of "Noda Sister" was changed to a musical geek played by Lin Yun in the Chinese version, and the exaggerated interpretation method in the manga was questioned by many viewers as "too pompous".
A GIF of Lin Yun's expression in the play also caused heated discussion among netizens, and it was criticized that the role of "silly white sweet" was played as a silly feeling.
In this regard, she replied to the comments of fans through weibo trumpet on the 22nd, saying that "the character setting is like that... I can't. ”
Regarding the adaptation of the plot in the Chinese version, there are also some discussions on Douban.
Some viewers believe that there are too many plots of love, which affects the professionalism of "professional dramas".
However, "Symphonic Lover's Dream" itself is an adaptation of a girl's comic, and I am afraid that it cannot be seen with the logic of a professional drama.
Some netizens spoke for Lin Yun, saying that "the Korean version is not OK, and the Japanese version of the heroine is also exaggerated, but after all, it is not so excessive that the Japanese comic has been changed." ”
The same "silly white sweet" and "pompous" characters, at that time, the Japanese drama version of the actor Ueno Shuri with the role of "Noda Sister", still climbed to the peak of his career.
In the play, Ueno Shuri also has exaggerated and funny actions that imitate Japanese manga.
But more important than funny, it is more important to shape the artist's temperament.
Ueno Shuri was practicing the piano as soon as he had time between shots, and the piano songs in the shooting screen were all played by himself.
It is said that at that time, many videos of Lang Lang were also studied.
Lin Yun's grievance reply, but was fiercely criticized by netizens for "acting skills are not good, don't blame people", "or refine your acting skills, don't push everything to the role." ”
Lin Yun could only delete the message later, but it was still uploaded by many netizens to upload screenshots.
After all, the "silly white and sweet" character design does not mean that the character has lost its connotation.
The musical genius girl is just a simple and cute personality, which contrasts with the talent in music, adding arc light to the character.
On the one hand, "the level of acting and the character setting are two concepts", on the other hand, I am afraid that simply using such a simple level of "silly white sweet" to understand the heroine of "Symphonic Lover's Dream" is also impossible to convince the audience.
It is easy to throw away the burden of idols, but to perform the temperament of an artist, practice the piano day after day, and ponder classical music, you need to work hard.
But this is the essence of "Symphonic Lover's Dream".
After all, "Symphonic Lover's Dream" is different from ordinary youth campus love stories in that it focuses on how an ordinary civilian girl can realize her dreams on the stage of classical music.
Classical music has always been regarded as a "high-cold" elegant art, and perhaps only by being born into a famous family or being gifted can there be a chance to shine on the stage.
But in "Noda Sister", we see how ordinary Xinxin students, through love and hard work, from the posture of looking up, step by step ascended to the hall of classical music, and grew into an artist looked up to by everyone.
The charm of this role does not come from the male protagonist's blue eyes, or the "silly white and sweet" personality.
On the contrary, without the artistic temperament of "Noda Mei" and the unswerving love for the romance of classical music, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to endure these shortcomings.
The understanding of the role has such a deviation, I am afraid that even the best acting skills are difficult to save.
