Professional dramas seem to have become a curse in the Chinese drama market. No matter what occupation it is, as long as it appears in a TV series, it will basically be changed beyond recognition. For example, " Blue Flame Assault " starring Ren Jialun , under the name Fire Fighter talks about flashy love, brainless plot, and wastes the acting skills of good actors.
There are also those workplace dramas, not to mention, eight out of ten are extremely exaggerated, but among all professional dramas, medical dramas are the most difficult to film.
But there are always so many filmmakers who rise to the challenge, knowing clearly that it is difficult to film, but they still insist on insulting the audience's IQ, such as "Emergency Doctor " starring Zhang Jiayi , "Emergency Doctor " starring Chen Xiao Wang Ziwen " The Amazing Pediatrician " and so on are all to the point where they can make people look numb.
But even in this case, there are still box office setbacks that are getting stronger and stronger, and continue to extend their claws to medical dramas. No, the new medical drama " Everything about Dr. Tang " starring Qin Lan, directly in the Douban comment area It got one star on the screen, my goodness, the audience actually gave the same reasons for negative reviews. What on earth is going on?
The hospital becomes a workplace, and saving lives and healing becomes a palace drama
"Everything About Dr. Tang" tells the story of Tang Jiayu, who was specially recruited from abroad by the director of Anhe Hospital and became the director of the hospital's cardiac surgery . Under her leadership, the medical team It has solved one thorny heart problem after another, and also promoted the clinical application of "full magnetic levitation artificial heart" technology to realize self-worth and save patients' lives.
In fact, judging from the synopsis of the story, the drama is similar to ordinary medical dramas. It is nothing more than treating diseases and saving lives, and this is also a fixed pattern of medical dramas.
But the difference is that on the basis of the original treatment and saving lives, the drama also adds the promotion of "full magnetic levitation artificial heart". Logically speaking, this should make the content of the entire drama more substantial.
But after watching the drama, the editor realized that I was overthinking it. Although the title was loud, the essence has not changed at all, and it still has the flashy characteristics of domestic medical dramas.
From the beginning of the plot, the heroine has been fully foreshadowed, allowing the audience to fully understand and know that the heroine is a particularly awesome doctor. Anyway, let’s just say that she is an absolute master in the field of heart.
originally thought that the heroine would shine in the operating room, but no, the hospital instantly transformed into a workplace, and the plot of the workplace where you stepped on me and I pulled you was directly brought up.
Various groups compete for patients for KPIs and reputation, and there are endless scenes of bad-mouthing and snitching behind the scenes. It looks like a drama about saving lives and healing the wounded and promoting positive energy, but the more you watch it, the more you realize that this is not just a palace fight. Is it a drama, treating the hospital as a battlefield for cleverness?
Moreover, for medical dramas, in addition to being extremely professional, they also need to highlight the tension of life hanging by a thread. However, the entire process of this drama is as bland as water. The surgery that the doctor said is super difficult is completed in a short time, and the audience I can't find that urgent sense of substitution at all, and the viewing experience is mediocre.
Another point is that whether it is a workplace drama or a professional drama like this, the biggest taboo is too many emotional lines, and this drama stepped into this minefield without any hesitation. The emotional development of the male and female protagonists was so unprepared. , the audience still didn’t know what was going on, but the two people began to look at each other affectionately.
Let’s just say, can’t we learn from the “Police Honor” that just finished next door? In the same professional drama with group portraits, not only did they not deliberately use the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists to set the pace, but they also made the small things in life extremely meaningful. This is what a good professional drama should look like, okay?
The male and female protagonists look like mothers raising their sons, and there is no sense of CP.
In fact, many viewers don’t pay much attention to the plot when watching the drama, especially professional dramas like "All About Dr. Tang". After all, not everyone They are all doctors, so there is no way to judge the professionalism shown in the play.
In this case, the sense of intimacy between the male and female protagonists, or the chemical reaction between the other leading actors, has become the biggest motivation for the audience to follow the drama.
In " Lin Shen Jian Lu " starring Jin Dong , the audience was not interested in the CP line between the male and female protagonists at all, but they were attracted by the friendship line between the three brothers. Therefore, the eye connection is A very important thing.
But in the drama "Everything About Doctor Tang", the heroine is played by Qin Lan, and the male protagonist is played by Wei Daxun. Putting aside the acting issues, there really is no sense of CP between these two people in the same frame, as if Just like a mother taking care of her son, ah... I can't even press my head to take a bite.
In addition to the CP feeling, Qin Lan's acting skills are also greatly compromised in the drama. Looking back on the Queen Bai Yueguang in "Story of Yanxi Palace", Qin Lan's performance attracted so many fans.
and the Shanghai ladies in " Heirloom " are even more generous, intellectual and elegant, not to mention Sylvia, who can not like such a woman.
But in the drama "All About Dr. Tang", Qin Lan really didn't show off her acting skills at all. She acted very deliberately throughout the whole process. In order to highlight her "strongness", she used artificial accents and even her expressions when speaking. It's not very natural anymore.
Wei Daxun, the actor who plays the male lead Ye Yiming, has a big question mark on his acting skills by the audience. Although he is from a major, eight out of ten dramas will be popular.
It’s not that Wei Daxun’s acting skills are too bad, it’s just that he appears too much in variety shows, and when the audience sees him, they will inadvertently think of his funny scenes in variety shows.
When he plays a professional doctor in his play, let alone whether he is involved in the play, the audience must be in the play anyway, and they are really afraid that he will show off in the next second, so there are still more actors. Study your acting skills and don't go to variety shows to gain a sense of presence. This is really not good for your future acting career.
All in all, "All About Dr. Tang" has stepped into the minefields of domestic medical dramas, especially when compared with the TVB medical drama "White Strongman2" next door, it is even more useless.
Coupled with the weak sense of CP between the male and female protagonists, the audience can't even ignore the plot and indulge in CP. Overall, there are really no highlights. So what do you think of the show?
