With the popularity of "Mountain and River Order", the discussion of delayed dramas has once again been put on the table, but repeated discussions have not solved the ultimate question, that is, can we look at the delayed works with normal eyes?
The key words that accompany the delayed drama are mainly "selling corruption", "male actors going to the sea", "wanting to be red and crazy" and even "finishing internal entertainment".
Whenever I see these familiar words, I feel angry and ridiculous, and I must admit that these phenomena exist objectively, but it is also unfair to shoot indiscriminately and beat all the actors who have delayed the work and the shooting of the subject to death.
Why is it that it is fairy love for male actors and actresses to make idol dramas, and two male actors become rotten? Why don't other genres get a curious look, and when it comes to the delay drama, it becomes an actor going to the sea?
Each circle layer has a chain of contempt, mom powder looks down on girlfriend powder, only powder looks down on cp powder, and the actors who are popular with the delay drama are always mentioned with a sentence of "selling rotten origins", it seems that the total who has not filmed the delay drama is particularly noble.
This moment of denial and contempt for minority groups in the bones seems to disappear without shouting a few words of equal power.
Speaking from the heart, the delay drama has been careful enough to walk on thin ice over the years, and come up with ten times more sincerity than some bad dramas, but still can't get a fair evaluation.
When it comes to Tammy dramas, we will not include movies such as "Farewell to the King", "Lan Yu", "Spring Break" and so on, because they are more intense in the rendering of art, and the stories told are more based on reality, and the general audience's requirements for Tammy are actually very simple, that is, "beautiful love".
This defines both the actor's appearance and the emotional direction of the story, and the audience does not want to see too many branches of emotion in a beautiful drama, which can satisfy most people's voyeuristic desire for alternative love, and this seemingly ungrounded flower of Gaoling, but is actually confined to the worldly emotions, how to be happy in a worldview that has no obstacles, or even if there are obstacles, it is enough to be happy with everyone.
Dabbling in American dramas for many years, the first American drama in the mainland that attracted the attention of netizens was the online movie "Similar Love" starring Kong Chuinan and Huang Lige.
The director of the film has a very deep and broad idea of "Similar Love", he does not want to simply make a love story, he hopes to explore human nature, break people's clamps on traditional moral concepts, and make the public more rational and tolerant to look at alternative love and this group.
However, this movie was released in 2014, although the rotten women have spread all over the mountains, but the Beauty Culture still belongs to the carnival of the niche group, the director has empty ideas, but no predecessors have given him lessons, can only try to grope in the dark, and finally failed to combine the ideas with the plot well, resulting in the finished product only to meet the "smooth and smooth, everyone is happy".
Although the plot of this film is old-fashioned and tacky, it lays out the dilemmas faced by the group from society and family more bluntly in front of the audience, and to some extent it is a kind of progress based on reality.
Because "Similar Love" sounded the first whistle of the mainland's Beauty, it brought unprecedented attention to Kong Chuinan and Huang Lige, and then a large number of American dramas have landed on the online platform.
Incomplete statistics, the names that can be called are "Counterattack", "Shengshi", "No. 10 Yanbao Diagonal Street", "Spirit World Roommate", "Zhiru Is Not Literate", "Enjoy This Life", "Decisive Battle"... It's really too much.
With so many American dramas, can each one become a hit? No, there are two films that are really remembered, one is "Addiction" starring Huang Jingyu and Xu Weizhou, and the other is Taiwan's CHOKOTV's self-made drama "HIStory" series.
Maybe everyone is more familiar with "Addiction", when it was broadcast in 2016, exaggeratedly speaking, (rotten women) thousands of empty alleys, do not watch "Addiction" you are out, even Andy Lau is watching it.
Look at the time, until 2016, the American drama is still boldly filming love, then when did the American drama become a delay drama, and what is the difference between the two?
"Delay" refers to the adaptation of the novel of Tanmei, but because of various objective factors, it is necessary to vaguely deal with the emotional line of the two male protagonists, the most common practice is to enlarge the plot to cover up love, or directly change to partner and confidant.
As the saying goes: life has a confidant, it is enough.
On this basis, we see "Zhen Soul" and "Chen Qing Ling", which can be called pioneers and milestones in delay.
The most significant difference between the two is that "Town Soul" does not seem to have fully adapted from the transformation from the beauty to the change, and the fragmentation and embarrassment of the plot are the same as the online dramas of those years.
In contrast, "Chen Qing Ling" has done a lot better, and the screenwriter has done a good job in adjusting the original timeline, fixing the plot bugs, and handling the feelings of the two male protagonists.
Coupled with the accumulation of the market over the years, the change of audience taste, and the tolerance of the general environment for multiple elements of feelings, "Chen Qingling" has exploded out of the circle in one fell swoop by virtue of its favorable timing and place, and has delivered two top traffic to the entertainment industry by the way.
The transformation of Tanmei to Yanmei may make many fans who like Tammy culture dissatisfied, thinking that since they can't fully respect the love of the protagonist, it is better to let them be a paper person forever.
But if you broaden your horizons a little, you will find that this is not a good thing, the hands behind the scenes are ambitious, no longer satisfied with only attracting rotten women, but try to fully develop the entire IP, expand the audience from the original fans to the passers-by disk, and even like "Chen Qing Ling", the national style culture is delivered to the world.
The later "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" proves this point even more, and I believe that more and more Tan Meiwen will be adapted into the core of the main drama in the future.
Every fan who pays attention to domestic film and television hopes to see that the national drama can bloom in a hundred flowers, various themes compete for glory, the market is a big cake, since there is always someone to share the food, why not delay the drama?
