"Chinese brand 2060 mobile phone silly girl for your service, please enter the boot password"
"I love you"
"Enter the password correctly, please select live-action mode or mobile mode..."
Unconsciously, 13 years have passed since the premiere of "Magic Mobile" in 2008. A few days ago, "Silly Girl" Shu Chang and "Lu Xiaoqian" Li Bin were in the same frame again, although both of them were old with the naked eye, but when the familiar lines and bgm sounded, it still set off a wave of "memory killing", even Li Bin could not help but have tears in his eyes, as if returning to the feeling of his youth.
"Magic Mobile Phone" is a science fiction mythological drama created by the famous screenwriter for nine years and starring Li Bin, Shu Chang, Jiao Enjun and others. It premiered on CCTV in 2008. It belongs to the same team as the mythological drama "Pauline Lamp" of the same period.
The drama mainly tells that the mobile phone in 2060 has become a human form, light energy charging, time and space travel and other advanced functions, and the Chinese brand mobile phone "Silly Girl" played by Shu Chang travels to the beginning of the 21st century, gets to know Lu Xiaoqian and others, and brings the mythological characters in "Journey to the West" such as Sun Wukong, Pig Eight Commandments, Yellow Eyebrow Monster, Bull Devil King and so on to the modern era, thus taking a series of fantasy stories.
The drama is quite groundbreaking to combine science fiction and funny elements, the plot is humorous, profound, rich, delicate, and the logic is also very rigorous. There are many details that people can't get tired of watching, so that the audience will sometimes burst into laughter, sometimes they will burst into tears, and their hearts will be warm, especially the poignant love story between Lu Xiaoqian and silly girls who have experienced various life and death, which has touched countless audiences, and the supporting roles and villains such as You Suowei, Wang Tianba, and Huang Meiwei are also distinctive personalities and outstanding acting skills.
However, "Magic Mobile Phone", which is now regarded as a sentimental drama, was first broadcast, because of various imaginative and mixed ideas and plots, it was criticized by mainstream public opinion circles for many years as Thunder Drama, and the Douban score was once less than 3.9 points. It was even sprayed by netizens as the CCTV, which has always been serious and tall, and the worst bad drama ever broadcast.
However, gold will always shine, just like in recent years, "Journey to the West" and many other early thunder dramas have turned over, "Magic Mobile Phone" has also been re-named.
Perhaps because of the lag effect caused by the idea too advanced, or because of the "peer background" of domestic dramas in recent years, the reputation of "Magic Mobile Phone" has gradually reversed, and the Douban score has risen to 8.2 points.
Although there is also a large degree of emotional filter bonus, but not all thunder dramas can enjoy the treatment of "Magic Mobile Phone" such a sharp increase in ratings, such as the quality of the second "Magic Mobile Phone 2: The Return of the Silly Girl" with poor quality so far, the Douban score is only 6.3 points, which shows that the emotional filter cannot explain all the problems, and the reason why the first part of "Magic Mobile Phone" can counterattack after many years of word-of-mouth, indicating that the quality of the series itself is still generally recognized by the audience.
If you think about it carefully, the creative mode of "Magic Mobile Phone" that mixes ancient mythology, modern urban ethics, future technology, nonsense comedy and other elements can be described as unusual for the domestic dramas of that era, even earlier than Hollywood's so-called Marvel Universe and DC Universe. It was only limited by the level of production in that era, and it was impossible to fully show the whimsical plot.
Many viewers also regret that it can only be said that "Magic Mobile Phone" is a work that is too advanced and untimely, and it is not more interesting than what Tang Detective Universe and Fengshen Universe are to put it in the present and develop the IP well?
At present, the screenwriter Jiu Nian also revealed that he is creating the script of the third part of "Magic Mobile Phone", and is also trying to invite the original team to return, which is expected to be filmed and broadcast in the past two years, and I believe that it will bring the audience a wave of "memory killing" and "Ye Qinghui".
I wonder what you think about Magic Phone? Do you think that this drama is now worthy of its reputation and is overrated by the emotional filter? Welcome to leave a message to share!
