On November 5th, the tenth and final program of Teacher Li Chengru's "Drama Confucian Life" was launched on time. In the last issue, Li Lao talked about some views on realist film and television drama works. In this episode, teacher Li Chengru praised the TV series "Mountains and Seas", believing that one of its moves revealed the way of life of northwestern people and was very real. At the same time, Li Lao also criticized some popular TV series, which are divorced and third-party content throughout.
In the content of the praise, teacher Li Chengru also talked about the hard work of the actors, especially in the main drama works, the hard work required to create real characters. Teacher Li Chengru believes that film and television drama actors are also one of the workers, and the workers in other industries are the same, everyone has their own hardships and pursuits. Therefore, you should not look down on the actor, nor do you have to look down on the actor or the actor's position.
Similar views have been expressed by many older generation film and television actors. It is widely believed that actors are also members of the laborers, regardless of whether they are noble or inferior. The only way for an actor to win the respect of the audience is through excellent works and good characters in good works. The reason why the value of realistic film and television drama works is clear is that it can create excellent content and present excellent characters. The real respect of the actor is to create these excellent characters, so that the role becomes an image that will always remain on the screen.
In this episode, Elder Li not only praised, but also criticized some film and television drama works, and the whole article was divorced and third-party content. Of course, this criticism belongs to the criticism without naming names. Because this (this type) film and television drama work, after all, is a work with a lot of broadcast volume, in terms of ratings, it is also very high. At present, there are indeed many film and television drama works, under the banner of women's dramas, and they are doing things that are torn apart. In this regard, Teacher Li Chengru put forward his own views on the ethics of creation.
A few years ago, a genre called "women's dramas" began to appear in our film and television drama works. In this genre, a more extreme phenomenon has gradually developed, in order to have high ratings and good network playback results, it is necessary to tear the "letters", build the relationship between various characters and heroines, and then tear, the more intense the tearing, the better the ratings and playback. Teacher Li Chengru criticized the whole article is a divorce, third-party TV series, which belongs to this genre.
I have to admit that some viewers do like to watch this kind of extremely tearful content. However, teacher Li Chengru said that in real life, these relationships are not a state of tearing, film and television drama creation, or should respect reality, although contradictions can be constructed, but should not be extreme, but should let the contradiction eventually go to ease, towards reconciliation, publicize the positive energy in life and so on.
I believe that this criticism by Teacher Li Chengru is timely and effective. In fact, looking at the international market, this kind of TV series that is extremely torn under the banner of female dramas has gradually formed an important feature of film and television dramas in some regions. The earliest is in the Korean drama market. However, in the past three years, Korean TV dramas have developed by leaps and bounds in the theme content, and they have begun to look for themes and content in previous film works, giving up the content of the tearing class. Of course, recently, there are also Korean dramas such as "Penthouse", which belong to the tearing category. This is a retrogression of typical Korean drama peers. This TV series does not have a good reputation among Korean critics.
In the Thai opera market, it is taking the old path of Korean dramas, and likes to engage in a lot of tearing TV series, the female protagonist tears the male protagonist, the female protagonist tears the mother-in-law, the female protagonist tears the female protagonist, the female protagonist tears everything and so on. When I commented on some Thai opera works, I once used a sentence called "the Thai opera heroine who shakes the air in the sky". This is actually the phenomenon of excessive tearing film and television drama creation criticized by teacher Li Chengru. Thai opera works, placed in the international market, do not gain respect.
Of course, our domestic dramas cannot enter the low-end creative mode of Thai dramas. The (that kind) drama that Teacher Li Chengru did not criticize by name is actually a typical Thai drama tearing model. If tv drama creation should respect the principle of realism, there will be one to say, to find accurate contradictions, but not to amplify the contradictions. Finding, and not amplifying, is the most emblematic of the screenwriter's creative ethics and artistic level. Obviously, our domestic drama creation should go to the forefront of the world.
