" Menghualu " is almost finished (the video platform has made the finale available on demand in advance). Because of the good ratings, the main creative staff even organized a gorgeous celebration banquet to congratulate themselves on such a great achievement.

And "Menghualu" not only received gratifying ratings, but on Douban, which is known for its harsh ratings, the score of this TV series was also locked at 8.5 points, a high score.

You must know that the tastes of audiences are becoming more and more picky. Domestic TV series that can score more than 7 points are considered masterpieces, and 8.5 points can almost be regarded as gods (discounting the age factor, it is almost as good as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" 》Statistic).

But in fact, after many people actually followed the TV series, they did not feel that this TV series could reach the level of a "masterpiece", which was the biggest flaw of "Meng Hua Lu".

In fact, after putting aside the most basic needs of entertainment and passing time, it is not difficult to find that most of the current TV series are "not good". The "no" of

does not mean that its content is not exciting or the actors' acting skills are poor, but that modern TV series have no "core" at all, and their themes and patterns are thinner than the last.

Take the two most popular types of dramas, idol dramas and suspense dramas as examples.

Idol dramas, no matter how grand the production is or how outstanding the creative staff (directors, actors) are, the plot is just a spinning wheel that serves the characters in the drama to fall in love.

Whether you work hard, overcome all difficulties and dangers, or go through several lives, the most important purpose of the process and ending is to confirm your lover's heart, or directly gain love. It can even be said that in the plot of idol dramas All the twists and turns and ups and downs are just for the male and female protagonists to express their feelings to each other.

What benefits does their love have to other people and the real world? Nothing, just fun.

"Meng Hua Lu" is like this. Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao have remarkable looks and acting skills (the fairy sister is really more suitable for acting in TV series, and the long plot gives her more opportunities to show off her beautiful expressions and grooming details), there is almost nothing to fault, but what did they do in the show?

Liu Yifei opened several stores, Chen Xiao handled several cases (most of the time the case handling process was omitted), and the rest of the time they spent the rest of the time actively or passively "falling in love", expressing their feelings, causing conflicts, and then Save each other, and the plot of dozens of episodes will be filled.

As for the theme of "Feng Yue saves Feng Chen" in the original script of Guan Hanqing , that is, the world is difficult and the people at the bottom can only help each other, "Menghua Lu" just treats it as a decorative lace, lightly The land passed by.

Is it because today’s screenwriters can no longer write in-depth scripts, or do they think that people in the 21st century only need to eat entertainment fast food and cry and laugh mindlessly?

As for the suspense dramas that seem to have a little depth, most of them have not really polished the concept of their dramas.

often involves suspicious cases and setting up several puzzles. The smart protagonists solve them one by one and then they are done. Like " The Silent Truth ", in the exploration of the truth, it calls for justice to never be buried no matter what the cost. Movies and TV series have become a rare species.

But why is it that "Meng Hua Lu" is able to win the double jackpot in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings even though it is not very high-quality?

wears the clothes of the ancients and tells the story of modern style, which is its secret secret to success.

Looking at the entire feudal society, women who can leave a name for eternity either married into an imperial family and stirred up the core power circle of the entire country (Wu Zetian, Cixi), or were born into a noble family and happened to have both talents and talents ( Li Qingzhao , Cai Wenji ), or he has mastered a unique craft that changed history (Huang Daopo), or else he can only be born with a look that will conquer the country and become a famous prostitute.

As for doing business in a male-dominated society and still achieving great results, it is simply a fantasy. Working hard for a career is the prerogative of modern women.

It’s not that women in ancient times were incapable of doing business, it’s that they didn’t have the opportunity to do so. It was inappropriate to show up in public, not to mention socializing with all kinds of men every day!

Unless forced by survival, women can only be locked in the courtyard.

Opening a large restaurant in a bustling city like Zhao Paner is something that only women can do in the 21st century.

In addition, the emotional lines in the play are also very modern. The relationship between Gu Qianfan and Zhao Pan'er is equal and free. Du Changfeng, who was born as a Jinshi, married his concubine Sun Sanniang (the key is that Sun Sanniang is already in her thirties, and her sons are both older and not younger. A woman who was divorced as soon as she got married), even the singer Zhang Haohao dared to show off her temper to her benefactor Chi Yanei at will.

Even in the Song Dynasty where women had a slightly higher status, this kind of plot is still very magical.

But in the new era, we will find it very satisfying to see the story of a woman who was abandoned by a scumbag husband and regained her second life, and the new husband is far better than her ex-husband.

Therefore, the cleverness of "Menghualu" is that it uses disguised ancient stories to capture the hearts of modern people.

can make the audience happy, which is a success. As for whether it is true or not, there is no need to seriously care about it.
