On the evening of September 14, the TV series "First Love For So Many Years" was launched on the legitimate video platform, and four episodes premiered. The drama is starred by young actors Wan Peng and Wang Yilun, and judging from the plot content that has been broadcast so far, this TV series on the theme of love on college campus is a recent "small sweet drama" with a relatively good quality.
If we put this TV series in the "real" dimension to "harshly", "First Love for So Many Years" is certainly not a high-quality drama. However, if we only talk about it from the perspective of fun, fun and good-looking "empathy", this TV series is a good quality sweet love drama. The beauty, freshness and sweetness of love in the whole TV series are presented relatively well.
Obviously, young audiences around the age of twenty need this kind of sweet love drama. Although this college campus drama does not adhere to a purely realistic creative style, on some levels, it still makes the story stand on the ground and strives to present the audience with a college campus life that everyone likes. In particular, what young audiences like, what aspects of this TV series are presented, is enough to make the drama a sweet and good-looking play.
For example, in the premiere plot, the female protagonist starts by throwing a high-falling pennant with high heels, and then smashes the male protagonist. For another example, in the male-female binding race, the female protagonist carries the male protagonist and runs. These contents are a kind of dramatic interpretation of university life. The opening speech is true, but it can really drag high heels and throw pennants, even if it is a joke. The sports meeting of the male and female binding is also true, but it is a joke to carry the boy and run.
"First Love for So Many Years" is to find a bridge from the campus life of the university, and to make a dramatic interpretation of real life and learning content, so as to achieve a comedy and sweetness that the audience likes. In this TV series, the male and female protagonists are secretly in love with each other, but they are not picky about each other, and this hazy beauty seems to be the best chemical reaction time for love. And this kind of obscurity is not only suitable for the plot, but also suitable for young audiences to empathize.
The key to the success of such TV drama works is not how real, but that young audiences are willing to enter the world given by the plot and fantasize that they are one of the male and female protagonists, thus producing an empathetic love beauty. In terms of plot design, this TV series is biased towards light humor, and in terms of scene creation, it deliberately makes the realism of the university. In terms of the characters of the male and female protagonists, it seems that they are deliberately throwing their preferences to the young audience.
First of all, let's talk about the male protagonist's personality. The male protagonist played by Wang Yilun is a typical "male god" personality. This state of gentleness and elegance and knowledgeable etiquette happens to be the characteristics of our more popular male protagonist personality at present. For young female audiences, this type of personality is more popular. It's a very interesting thing. When the old editor was young, those labor experts who could drive tractors were more popular. The younger generation has begun to like this kind of warm and introverted type of boy.
"First Love for So Many Years" captures this popular boy's personality traits and gives these characteristics to the male protagonist. At the same time, it also "adds bricks and tiles" to the male protagonist in the form of a plot. For example, this male protagonist is a little prince of the piano and can play music and art. In the specific bridge section, when the female protagonist conducts the students' chorus, in the face of the problem of uneven chorus, the male protagonist stands up and uses piano accompaniment to help the chorus to be neat. These bridge sections are designed to find points for young women to give male protagonists.
Let's talk about the hostess. The heroine played by Wan Peng has personality characteristics and is partial to women. Of course, this kind of female man is only limited to the personality characteristics, and the appearance characteristics are completely in accordance with the standards of beautiful women. To put it simply, this heroine's personality belongs to the sassy type. This is also the more popular heroine personality in recent years. This kind of coolness is not only suitable for male audiences, but also for young female audiences, it is also more liked.
In the youth of the old editors, many TV drama works like to shape the gentle and virtuous heroine's personality, and even like to shape some obscure, selfless and dedicated heroines. At present, the younger TV series, such as this "First Love for So Many Years", have chosen this kind of cool female character. This is first and foremost the inevitable continued independence and progress of contemporary women. More and more girls are really growing up, and they are able to be independent and very cool. Of course, for boys, it is also increasingly found that such girls are easy to get along with and are very popular. The drama chooses such a heroine personality, so that the TV series can be liked by more cardinal young audiences.
For the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, the old editor feels that the performance of these two young actors is still remarkable. In terms of the male protagonist Yi Lun, in many deliberately cool bridge sections, he can point to the end, everything is just right, and he has not crossed the line to the extent that the audience does not like it. The performance of the heroine Wan Peng is more worthy of recognition. The cool personality, coupled with the actress's own cool temperament, allows the role and the actor to achieve characteristic resonance. Actors can show their acting talents in the role relatively well.
Therefore, this "First Love for So Many Years" is a small sweet drama with relatively good quality in recent times.
