"The Elite"

The two most popular dramas currently being discussed are " Menghualu " and "The Elite". Because of its "blood relationship" with the "Love Apartment" series, which is the work of director Wei Zheng, it was labeled "plagiarism" as soon as it debuted. Questions and belittling have never stopped. .

director Wei Zheng also explained it immediately. He said that he only served as the screenwriter for the fifth part of this series. As for the plagiarism of the script, he only learned about it after "Love 3" was broadcast. However, the director contracts for "Love 3" and "Love 4" have been signed together... But In his past career, he has never been able to break away from the fame and burden of "Love Apartment". is determined to use "The Breaking Elite" to break the misunderstanding of current comedies.

"Polish Elite" and "Love Apartment"

However, in fact, the Broken Elite itself and the Love Apartment are not really that separate. A large number of characters in the play actually overlap slightly with Love Apartment, and there is even a professional version of Love Apartment with different scenes and occupations. The subject matter is also a unit sitcom, and it is more like the crew has no money to bring back the previous members, so they chose a new group of actors.

Let’s briefly analyze the overlapping points of the actors’ characters:

1. Hu Qiang ( Li Jiahang )

Li Jiahang almost moved directly from one series to another, and he is also a relatively incompetent good old person. The selling points of the series are honesty, unreliability and a slightly tragic line of betrayal. They are also the targets of daily stories. Rather than saying that Li Jiahang played the two roles of Hu Qiang and Zhang Wei , it is better to say that Li Jiahang played Zhang Wei from another time and space.

2. The characters of Su Kejie and Pang Xiaobai (Liu Zhongqiu, Li Wenfan)

all look a little like Lu Zhanbo played by Jin Shijia . They are also dull and technical nerds, with occasional technical highlights. He is also the second position in the play where daily stories are teased. Even the shortcomings are the same. In a light comedy, the three characters playing the same role are "not funny" .

3. Tang Haixing ( Zhang Yiduo )

From character design to positioning in the play, Zhang Yiduo is exactly the same as "Love Apartment". There are many unorthodox characters, nonchalant and confusing behaviors, funny contributions in the play, and occasionally extremely serious and eye-catching behaviors.

4. Jin Ruoyu (Tu Hua)

The character setting of Tu Hua is a combination of Tang Xiaoyou and Chen Meijia . There is Chen Meijia's antics and little cunning. And there is the warmth of Tang Xiaoyou’s close sister. Even like the tragic route of Tang Xiaoyou's own "acting is all corpses" , it also has a tragic episode setting.

5. Sha Lele ( Sun Yiwen )

The character of Sha Lele in the play is very much like a combination of Lin Wanyu + curry sauce. It is also a bit silly and sweet, mainly based on the "cute" character who is not familiar with the world. It also has some of Lin Wanyu’s “Madonna” personas.

Shalele’s character is too much like a virgin, and she is always cheated by her boss. Even though her colleagues helped her, she still has to say good things about her boss to her colleagues. If you are a veteran in the workplace, you will respect but feel a little disgusted when you see such a person... a bit too idealistic and not very practical.

6. Ouyang Mofei (played by Guo Guo)

Ouyang Mofei should be the character with the strongest "love apartment" flavor in the play. She has the shrewdness of Hu Yifei , the venomous tongue , and the ruthless mouth and heart. He also has the almost invincible and perfect wisdom of Zhuge Dali. So there is such a character in the play who is smart and wise, but his behavior is inconsistent. She is also the character with the strongest sense of separation when watching the show, because this kind of character is really dramatic. Almost all things cannot be solved in the end, and she is the one who comes down from the sky to solve the problem.

Ouyang’s character design is so bad that he doesn’t look like a flesh-and-blood person. As a result, the character's dialogue and lines are a bit too similar to Hu Yifei's, but I can't figure out the lines, and the tone of voice is really strange.

Everywhere in the play, the character Hu Yifei's fearless character is portrayed. However, even Hu Yifei knows how to achieve his goal by pretending to give in to his classmates. Could it be that Ouyang in "The Bad Guys" has 0 emotional intelligence and does extremely stupid things over and over again. The behavior of the characters is a bit like the "pricking" behavior of those born in the 90s and 00s, but I personally think it is more like the behavior of people who don't have to go to work.

In addition to the characters, many places in the play also reveal the shadow of "love apartment", so I won't list them here.

I think as a new drama, what it should do more is break the previous impression. Otherwise, the character design itself already has a lot of flavor. At a small level, it feels like riding on the popularity (even though it is the same author), but at a large level, it doesn’t feel like making a new drama, a sequel to another world.

It’s too preachy.

If that’s all, then this drama isn’t too bad. After all, “Love Apartment” itself has some emotional fans, and as a light comedy, the plot is pretty good.

The problem is that there are more and more preaching plots in the drama. Note that it is preaching and not satire. Even the director himself is saying the meaning of each episode.

Audiences should understand that in the Spring Festival Gala sketches in recent years, there are always a few preaching points. is really torture for people who want to watch pure comedy, making the whole work funny but not funny. So funny.

1.19 episode, Dear , you are trying to create a single and famous lady. , you have lost yourself by pretending that you are a rich second generation and a famous lady. In episode

2.10, the network public account article maliciously described and attacked celebrities, causing the celebrities to commit suicide and feel guilty.

There are many more, so I won’t give examples one by one.

Some things have been satirized so many times that it’s really a bit nauseating. Especially in the recent episodes, they are still satirizing things like young fresh meat or celebrities buying singles, and they don’t dig too deep. You, the screenwriter, can’t satirize dialogue for the sake of satire. ?

In fact, if you put aside the childhood filter, the previous "Wulin Gaiden" and " Longmen Escort " also have a lot of preaching, but the preaching is more for you to understand by yourself, or even narration. If the person in the character said what went wrong personally, it would be too much like deliberately preaching, and instead the audience would be less aware of the philosophy of life contained in the plot. is more like the whole story is just to recite poetry to such a character. We are all adults, who else doesn’t know the truth?

has its advantages. A large number of artificial intelligence, elements and interactive elements have been added to works. The themes and other aspects are relatively trendy. In a few years, the series will not look particularly backward when looking back in the future. but that’s it, the plot itself doesn’t have much depth.

Conclusion

Viewing suggestions: A good work, worth watching when you relax.
