I also did not expect that the reputation of "Great Song Palace Words" actually collapsed so completely, dropping to 4.1 points overnight, and nearly half of the audience expressed their anger with one star.
This anger contains disappointment with director Li Shaohong, after all, "Great Song Palace Words" rubbed the heat of "Daming Palace Words", but eventually completely destroyed the fame accumulated by Li Shaohong himself.
A good cast, hard to make a sandwich, whose fault is it?
I thought that Li Shaohong's 2010 "Dream of the New Red Chamber" was already the bottom line of destroying the classic, but I did not expect that the 2021 "Great Song Palace Words" once again broke through the bottom line.
It wraps a fragmented core with a gorgeous appearance, and when the audience is pointing the spearhead at the lead actors Liu Tao and Zhou Yumin, I feel that the biggest responsibility for this drama should be blamed on the screenwriter and director.
The capacity of 61 episodes, originally suspected of injecting water, probably to eliminate the audience's suspicions, by the way also want to win some traffic and heat at the beginning of the broadcast, "Great Song Palace Words" in the first few episodes actually used three times, or even five times the speed, to complete the appearance of all the characters like a duck.
This has caused every character in the play to read the lines mechanically, and even the experiences before and after are basically pieced together by memory, and it is difficult to see the sky.
Zhao Heng saved Liu E, an orphan daughter of Shudi, on the battlefield, and Liu E saved Zhao Heng in the earthquake, at this time, the audience could not tell who saved whom, because their relationship was not paved with any emotion, that is, it only took less than a few minutes for the two to fall in love.
When the emperor thought that Zhao Heng was dead, he did not expect that Zhao Heng and Liu E suddenly returned, and the contradiction between Liu E and Lady Guo of Xiangwang Zhengpai was even more the development speed of the train, one moment being jealous and eager to kill Liu E, and the next to intercede for Liu E.
At this time, Liu E, who should have been the heroine, completely became a tool person, loved by Zhao Heng, wronged by the emperor, given to death, fake death to escape, mixed with the wangye mansion, and saved the life of the emperor. This series of operations actually happened in the first five episodes, and on this timeline, there was no specific explanation of the causes and consequences.
You know, Liu E is a domineering queen who wants to "bow the curtain and listen to the government" in the future, so hastily arranged her fate, and even after watching for half a day, she did not feel any sense of CP between her and Zhao Heng.
This really can't blame Liu Tao and Zhou Yumin, because the development of the plot really doesn't give the audience a chance to breathe, things have developed so far, no protagonist's image can stand, and the characters are all dry.
The most speechless thing is to make the negative characters in it have no IQ to speak of.
The process of the Qin King's rebellion was a bit like Feng Xiaogang's "Night Feast", sending a group of dancing palace women to carry out assassinations, but the process of plotting in the middle was all supplemented by the memories of the princess.
There is also the other two princes vying for the throne, the emperor sent them to deal with the flood, the two directly wrote the low IQ on their faces, the king of Chu gave the victims a big cake to make a human life, indiscriminately killed the officials of Zhihe, directly accepted bribes from officials, and was also bumped into by Zhao Heng, you say, is this not sending people's heads?
I watched ten episodes, basically for the account of things, all in the form of memories in tandem, could have laid the story well, had to make it like a suspense drama, 61 episodes, is not so many episodes, are not enough to tell a good story?
In my opinion, the only advantage of "Great Song Palace Words" is that its picture is very fine, and the costume shape is very elaborate, such as the scene of the Qin King's banqueting guests, which is a reference to the ancient painting "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", which is shot down in one shot, which is very beautiful, showing the luxury and refinement of the song Dynasty's high-ranking officials and nobles.
However, Fu Hua Dao can not make up for the shortcomings in the story, Li Shaohong made the same mistake as Chen Kaige, that is, paying too much attention to the form but ignoring the content of the story.
Probably, everyone is praising Li Shaohong's "Daming Palace Words", but don't forget, behind the achievement of this masterpiece with a reputation of up to 9.1 points, it is inseparable from the two screenwriters Zheng Zheng and Wang Yao.
This time, "The Words of the Great Song Palace" obviously did not meet a good screenwriter, so the photography and art that Li Shaohong is good at have lost their usefulness, which also shows that the success of a drama is really not only attributed to the director, but also depends on the cooperation of all aspects.
Just like many people are talking about Chen Kaige now, that year's "Farewell to the Overlord" has almost become the existence of the ceiling in Chinese movies, but why do any people suspect that this is not Chen Kaige's work? That's because after that, Chen Kaige never met a screenwriter like Reed again, and his own screenplay of "Wuji" had a very poor reputation.
I think that the success of "Daming Palace Words" is accidental, and "Dream of the New Red Chamber" and "Great Song Palace Words" are Li Shaohong's true level. It is somewhat sad to say, how come the big people who have been praised as famous directors have collapsed one by one?
Then again, if the "Great Song Palace Words" was broadcast a few years ago, it may have worked well, and now, the drama of the big heroine has made the audience have aesthetic fatigue, such as Tang Yan's "Yan Yuntai", Zhang Ziyi's "Shangyang Fu", the reputation is really poor, and now, Liu Tao's "Great Song Palace Words" has also joined the ranks.
I thought it would be a "giant production", but in exchange for "giant thunder", this has only aired more than a dozen episodes, and there are still forty or fifty episodes waiting for the audience.
It is said that this drama has a length of more than eighty episodes before, but for the audience, what is not about the length, but about the quality, if you can't even tell the story well, why do you want the audience to pay?
