Mango TV is probably the most difficult TV station in the current public opinion environment.
Here, its film and television ratings remain high, and the heat is "high fever"; over there, its negative news is criticized by the media and "chased and beaten" by netizens. As a result of this, whenever Mango Station produces a new program and broadcasts a new episode, it will be controversial. From the TV station to the program group, from the host to the actor, no one is spared.
Recently, the entrepreneurial drama "Sea of Stars", jointly produced by Mango Film and Television and Times Light and Shadow, was broadcast.
Liu Tao, one of the main actors and heroine, posted on social platforms: "It is best to watch it with mom and dad, it is very nostalgic." ”
Who knows, Liu Tao's dynamic and the official blog of the drama side were quickly "attacked" by netizens.
Forced to do so, Liu Tao had no choice but to delete the article.
You know, at that time, there was only a trailer, and even the main drama had not yet been broadcast.
Unexpectedly, the comment area of Douban has also "fallen".
In the evening, Liu Tao sent out six crying memes (now deleted), all without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
After the TV series "Star Sea" was launched, the ratings rose all the way, directly breaking 1!
You know, there are not many TV series with a rating of 1 in Mango Tv this year: "Sweeping Black Storm" is released with other satellite televisions, and its 2021 rating "Year Crown" can be traced back to "Wind Rises" starring Gulinaza and Xu Weizhou, but the average rating of the drama is only 0.83.
And on October 31, the second day of the launch of "Star Sea", its ratings broke 1 again!
As a result, some critics came out and publicly apologized.
So we can't help but ask: What is the reason why "Sea of Stars" made Mango Station "recover the lost ground" and make the critics apologize?
First of all, this is a sincere and heartfelt work, and the lineup is strong.
Director Yu Ding, a well-known filmmaker in the industry, has won the Best TV Series Category Award and Best Director Award at the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival. Photographic works: "Six Groups of Serious Cases", "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" Part I, "Sharp Changes in Life and Death", "Dream Break forbidden city", "Wind and Rain Xiguan", etc.; director's works: "Red Plum Blossom", "Black Triangle", "Invisible General", "Generation of Heroes", "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", "Facing the Sea", "Agitation" and so on.
Such a low-key and stable, high-quality director with frequent masterpieces, why be afraid?
Actors: Liu Tao, Lin Feng, Lu Fangsheng, Chai Biyun, Zhang Chenguang, Tan Yaowen, Tian You, Xu Jiawen, Bai Zixuan, Ni Hongjie, etc.
What is there to fear in such a work that combines old, middle-aged and young people, and cooperates with powerful actors from the mainland and powerful actors from Hong Kong?
Secondly, it's a well-made TV series that's fast-paced and doesn't procrastinate.
As soon as the play opens, you'll be greeted by an antique wall clock that tells the backdrop to the story, which took place in the 1990s.
But immediately after its lens, a fast-spinning, buzzing old-fashioned sewing machine appeared.
One slow, one fast; one quiet, one urgent—something is going to happen!
Sure enough, the couple who appeared first caused the woman to cheat due to emotional discord, and the husband killed his wife by mistake.
And their daughter is the protagonist of this story - Jane Eyre!
Since then, Jane Eyre has been adopted by a widowed aunt who is greedy for money and prefers sons to daughters.
At the end of the first episode, Liu Tao made a brilliant debut!
Such a complex background and conflict, so many characters and plots, such a difficult beginning and turn, the director actually explained it quickly in a way similar to the movie, so the directing skill is breathtaking.
More importantly, we must pay attention to the scheduling of the director's lens, which is easy to switch; the use of light and shadow technology, such as the flow of clouds and water when operating; the control of the rhythm, and the relaxation of the directing.
Suddenly it's like reading a novel, suddenly it's like watching a movie, suddenly it's like admiring an ink painting, and suddenly you feel like you've fallen into a memory.
Such a well-made TV series with just the right sense of rhythm is rare!
Then, this is a TV series with a lot of preparation, and the intention is very high.
The play tells the entrepreneurial story of an orphan girl named Jane Eyre in the early nineties. As an urban inspirational drama, why is it inspirational? What happened to the heroine? What did she do to achieve a life counterattack? What talents and abilities does she have to support her out of life's predicament? Is her story credible? Can the audience empathize?
If you want to solve these problems and make jane Eyre's character stand up, you must give her enough "skill packs" and pave the way.
Jane's parents died, she was hated by her aunt, ridiculed by her classmates, ostracized by colleagues, used by friends - embattled, trapped like a cage by the harsh reality. In this way, the paving is enough, and the environment for counterattack is created!
She loves princess dresses – a sign that she may be exposed to the clothing industry in the future and has a fashion sense of smell;
She writes well – she has good writing skills;
She can speak – good presentation;
She can calculate accounts – has the ability to calculate;
She is smart, stubborn, able to endure, dare to fight, and has a momentum that will never accept defeat.
In this way, the "strong foundation" and "strong talent" come out, the characters naturally become full, the background color of this drama is naturally enough, and the intention is naturally high!
Finally, the performance of the lead actor is remarkable, and the supporting role is a great achievement.
My sister watched four episodes in one breath (only four episodes have been broadcast as of my next pen), and the biggest feeling for me is that the performance of the supporting roles is really brilliant.
Seeing those actors who play elementary school students, I can't help but think of bear children; seeing those actors who play small, I can easily associate with the street slips I have met; even when I see Ni Hongjie's aunt, I can find reference objects from the people around me; and the lead actors Liu Tao and Lin Feng, although they have only appeared so far, have contributed a lot of wonderful shots.
In short, I personally feel that this TV series has done a good job in all aspects. The costume and intention are very good, the plot is also good, the actor's performance is remarkable, although there are some flaws and unsatisfactory, but it will not be broadcast first, but also Liu Tao scolded and cried, and deleted the text, I think this is not a qualified drama critic and qualified audience performance.
For Hunan Satellite TV, there was more negative news in the past, but recently we can clearly see its adjustment and change, from TV series to variety shows, from hosts to guests, it is taking into account economic benefits at the same time, putting social benefits in the first place. We can't grasp the little "fault" that people have had, and even "burden" the star artists they have cooperated with.
And for the TV series "Sea of Stars", like to watch, just watch two more episodes, entertainment entertainment, can have a little harvest is better; do not like to watch, is also a blameless thing, after all, radish greens have their own love, the remote control in your own hands.
But for the pickpocket sister who brushed 4 episodes in one breath, she still couldn't help but sigh: Mango Station has taken back the remote control of the Chinese audience!
I am a pickpocket sister outside the circle, may you be happy!
