"It's when youth shines"
The TV series "It is the Time when youth is brilliant" landed on CCTV-8 golden file last night and premiered on the star, with an average rating of 1.3457%, successfully taking over "Little Nyonya".
The drama is directed by director Xi Xin and starring actors Li Jian, Huang Man and Liu Xiyuan. Previously, "It is the time when youth is brilliant" has been broadcast on local stations, and "first ground and then star" is also the profit path of many TV series.
"It is the time when youth is brilliant" is a "big third line" theme drama, with the life experience of the third line builder Fang Yunhe (played by Li Jian) as the main line, telling the moving story of the two generations of "three lines" people in Liupanshui about career, family, emotions and destiny, highlighting the "three lines" construction hero group portrait.
Construction of the third line
▶ Here we need to make a simple explanation of the "big third line";
In the 1960s, in order to meet the needs of war preparedness, the state launched the "three-line construction" strategy and carried out a large-scale construction of national defense, science and technology, industry and transportation infrastructure in 13 provinces and autonomous regions in the central and western regions. Here, we need to thank the great revolutionary teacher Chairman Mao for his far-sightedness in the construction of the third line, which enabled China in the early days of its establishment to quickly gain a firm foothold in the game of international forces, and its influence was no less than that of the later "great development of the western region."
However, after the broadcast of "It is the Time when youth is brilliant", the feeling is still the familiar formula and the original taste of the CCTV TV series, although it is advertised as a "big third line" theme, but the "texture" of the episode is very rough, the contradictions and conflicts are extremely unreasonable, and the plot is slightly dog bloody.
First of all, the male protagonist Fang Yunhe's portrayal is too high-minded, from the perspective of faith and struggle, basically successful, but a bit of a false void, single-mindedly for justice but repeatedly framed by bad people. What is even more bloody is the emotional line in the play, the male protagonist explores in the wild, but accidentally falls into a hole and is swept away by the undercurrent. The heroine and the male number two Xia Wenzhong both thought that Fang Yunhe was dead, but the heroine was already pregnant before marriage, and in order to avoid punishment, she married the hero's good brother, that is, the male number two Xia Wenzhong, and the child was named "Summer" after birth.
The male protagonist Fang Yunhe was saved by the female number two Azhu, and later the two fell in love with their daughter "Fang Lili". Summer and Fang Lili also grew up in free love, and were told that "you two are half-siblings"...
"I'm Afraid It's Too Late"
To put it bluntly, "It is the time when youth is brilliant" is a dog-blood family ethics drama cloaked in the cloak of "big third line", and this tone is very similar to the TV series "I'm Afraid It's Too Late" and "Mother-in-Law Uncle Big" broadcast by CCTV Eight sets of previously broadcasts. Looking at the list of creators, this question was quickly revealed...
Director Xi Xin made a cameo appearance
"It is the time when the youth is brilliant" and "the mother and uncle" "teacher out of the same door", are directed by Director Xi Xin, he also made a small role in "It is the time when the youth is brilliant", in addition to his representative works also have "The mother's uncle", "three sisters", "seven sisters", "second uncle", etc.; and this drama and "I am afraid it is too late" from the same screenwriter, are Meng Jie screenwriters, her representative works are "I am afraid it is too late", "Mother uncle big" and so on, so "It is the time when the youth is brilliant" let the audience smell the familiar taste as soon as it is broadcast.
Domestic screenwriters and directors have also found a routine for creating such dramas, playing a role in making small and broad.
1. The theme is lofty - Acura youth, witnessing "transformation", the creative content revolves around the review of the youth struggle of peers in the Republic, and profoundly refines the spiritual core of China's final road to prosperity and strength after suffering hardships, easily passed the review and can be broadcast on the CCTV TV drama channel;
2. The core is still dog blood - under the cloak of "main theme", the dog blood and illogical polyamorous love is interpreted. Smart screenwriters pay great attention to the compactness of the content, interlocking design plots, fierce contradictions and conflicts, and performance techniques also integrate a lot of realistic elements, in addition to hugging and kissing at every turn, there are unmarried pregnancies and other elements, and often tear-jerking, capturing the favor of many middle-aged and elderly audiences, and gaining high ratings;

3. Low actor remuneration - This type of drama usually chooses second-line actors such as Li Jian and Tang Zeng. This kind of actor has solid acting skills and a serious attitude, although he is a little older, he is very in line with the requirements of the role in terms of image and has an audience. They have created a vivid role, and these dramas have also achieved their development and improvement in their acting careers;
4. Rough production - this kind of drama shooting time is generally short, props, costumes are simple and single, the real "small input, large output", and eventually become a best-selling film and television product.
Although there are eight sets of CCTV and local channels to take over, although they will not worry about distribution and ratings, they still hope that the main creators of such dramas can self-improve and purify themselves, and create better and more worthy of audience scrutiny.
