Although the ratings in recent years have been at the bottom of the four major public stations in Japan, Fuji TV, which ushered in the 60th anniversary of the establishment of The Taiwan, is still celebrating with beautiful scenery, so it has spent a lot of money to launch a series of Taiwanese celebration dramas, such as the launch of "Les Misérables", "Sand Instrument", "White Tower" and other dramas.
▲ The new version of "White Tower" will be broadcast next month
It is not difficult to find that Fuji TV's Taiqing dramas are all remade in classic masterpiece novels, and they are all works that have been filmed and television dramas many times before, and it is quite courageous to dare to challenge the classics, but it seems that it is difficult to surpass the previous works, and the 2019 version of "Sand Instrument" Has a Douban score of only 6 points.
So can fried cold rice save ratings? The answer is also no.
In order to commemorate Taikei, Fuji Tv recently took out the same classic "Daio" series to shoot another one, and Bunya Jun felt that it was time to talk about Japan's most famous Miyadou series, and everyone could also feel the costumes of Japanese actresses.
15 years ago TVB's "Golden Branch Desire" made the palace fight drama a hit, the tearing between women + dog blood plot is indeed very attractive, soon the country launched a large number of palace fight themes, "Palace Heart Plan", "Zhen Huan Biography", "Ruyi Chuan", etc., are the same routine (tearing + slapping + white eyes), shooting dozens of episodes also makes people look very cool, even in 2018, the hottest domestic drama may still be the palace fight drama "Yanxi Raiders".
So what is the theme of the Japanese court? I have to mention the masterpiece, which is the "Da'ao" series.
Ōo (おおおく) refers to the birth mother, children, main room, side room, and residence of female officials of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period in Japan, which can be understood as the harem of the ultimate ruler of Japan at that time.
This time, Kimura Bunai's "Oku" is the final chapter, which means that with the end of the Heisei era, this Japanese palace fight masterpiece has finally come to an end.
Presumably before the start of the broadcast, everyone and the ministry of the same is full of expectations, but the rating is only 6.9%, compared with the input and output, this is a very unqualified result, you know, "Da'ao" once had an 18.0% rating, it is no wonder that there will be Japanese media use "big explosion death" to describe the ratings of the final chapter.
Ratings are not the focus, but Buya Jun still takes everyone to see what kind of story is told in the final chapter of "Da'ao".
The epilogue is set during the shogunate's reform of the treasury, the time of Tokugawa Yoshimune, the eighth shogun of Tokugawa, and tells the story of the life story of the side room that has been silently supporting him as his spiritual pillar.
Kimura Fumino's protagonist, Ku-no, lived an ordinary life before Tokugawa Yoshimune (Takao Osawa) succeeded him as shogun, and after taking office, moved to Edo Castle to confront Ōo, known as the "Voldemort Temple".
The other female actors in "Da'ao" are also very powerful.
In the play, Eiko Koike plays the side room of the sixth-generation shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and the birth mother of the seventh-generation shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, MoonlightIn, who participated in the "O-Ka rebellion".
Hamabe Miha plays Takehime, daughter of Kwon Dai-yan and Kiyo-ji Hee-din, Suzuki Honami plays Iebu-in Tenei-in, Yoko Minano plays Ōtsugu-in, Kishii Yuki plays the female official Taki, Matsuzaka Keiko plays Yoshimune's birth mother, Kyogen-in....
There is also Kitamura Kazuki as the boss of the Owari domain, Tokugawa Munaharu, starting with the 2003 version of the 13th generation shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, who participated in the "Daio" series for the seventh time.
The heroine Kuwai has a simple, gentle, and kind personality, but after entering The Great Ao, there are two widows of the 6th generation general Jiaxuan- the main room Tenei-in and the seventh generation of the general's mother Moonlight Temple, their hegemonic struggle is constantly staged, and thousands of women in the Great Ao also try to seduce Yoshimune.
The story is about the children born to Yoshimune and the three side chambers in the intriguing Da'ao.
There is a big IP to support, and a strong cast to do the guarantee, but the ratings have died violently, and Budaya Jun has also seen a lot of evaluations such as "Japanese palace fight dramas are too naïve".
The feud between women in "Daio" is not as direct as in domestic dramas, but everywhere shows the characteristics of "static braking", because the purpose is to stabilize the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, even if it is to take revenge in the harem, to make bad, and to abide by order and not to destroy etiquette...
Another highlight is the costumes of the actors, which are said to account for one-third of the total investment, in order to reproduce the magnificence of the harem, all the costumes of the characters in the play have been collected and studied, trying to maintain the original taste, as well as shaping many of the shogunate period buildings.
