First of all, for TV series and novels, my conclusion is: first-class actors, second-rate TV series, third-rate novels. I admit that " Tiandao " is an excellent TV series, but it is not yet a masterpiece. " The Distant Savior " is far less profound than many people say. On the contrary, it is because this novel is too shallow. There are two reasons for saying this. When any literary work is praised by the public and is associated with the successful , it will deviate from the word . is not fully understood by the public because of deep things, such as Buddhist scriptures and "Tao Te Ching". Secondly, the time when the works were written was 2005, and the background of novel writing was 1995. At that time, it was considered a high-quality novel and drama, but from the current perspective, the plot and concepts in it have many flaws, because the times are progressing, and no work cannot escape the limitations of history.
Part 1: The flaws of the work
First of all, from the perspective of values, the work over-worship of the bourgeoisie and the elite. The novel uses a lot of space to describe various luxurious life scenes, from luxury cars and high-end hotels to clothing and wine, and even a small lighter, all are limited yearbook versions, which basically feels like a simple version of " Tiny Times ".
is followed by an over-beautification of the elite. The farmers, workers, and ordinary citizens in the novel are in the role of exposing the weaknesses of human nature: timid, short-sighted, greedy, fragile, and stupid. Almost all ordinary people in this novel are not uglied. In contrast, the elite class, in addition to mastering a large number of resources and a high social status, basically have characteristics: young and promising, prominent family background, well-educated, and cultured. Of course, the reason why the lower class people are like this is because of the so-called cultural attributes, we will talk about this later.
is the suicide of the heroine Rui Xiaodan again. After being blown off her feet while fighting with the bandits, the original text reads: "She realized that she was disfigured, disabled, no longer beautiful, and could not stand up again." Finally, she committed suicide while thinking about Ding Yuanying. In the previous setting, Rui Xiaodan is a confident and independent policewoman with a high level of understanding, and his image is at least at the same level as Ding Yuanying. However, in the end, because he could not accept the external incompleteness, he chose to end his life to preserve his perfect image in the hearts of his lover. The TV series is unreasonable.
Let’s talk about business war: As the largest audio company in the industry, Lesheng has not conducted background checks on metric poetry before suing, which is the biggest flaw. This is the basic common sense in the legal community. filed a lawsuit without investigation. It can only be said that the IQ of the company's senior management and lawyers has temporarily dropped to negative numbers, and the competitor's supply chain cannot be found. Even if the lawsuit is lost, it will only lose some market share and reputation. This can be completely reversed by using public relations and marketing. Next door is the sixth brother in the business war drama "The Great Dyeing Floor", and these two things are done by six. Because metrical does not have its own modern industrial chain, merger is its ultimate goal. After the merger, Le Sheng is still the biggest, and the chairman is still Lin Yufeng. If the merger fails, you can also isolate the metrical poems and then separate them. Lin Yufeng's setting is also a person who has experienced bloody storms in the market. He actually committed suicide while the company still occupied the largest market share. That proves that Lin Yufeng has always been smooth sailing and has not encountered any obstacles, but why did he say that he has experienced bloody storms and is a conflict between a powerful person?
Of course, all this is to highlight Ding Yuanying's demon. Mr. Lu Xun commented on Zhuge Liang : " Kong Ming 's wisdom is almost demonic."Ding Yuanying's demon is not under Kong Ming. He is rich, has insight into human nature, is a master of the world, and has the ability to control everything. All the men they meet are impressed by their talents when they meet for the first time. The women they meet deeply admire him and trust him without reason. All the opponents are destroyed in the planning. Before leaving, they leave a document, eradicating the last threat to the company. Without checking this threatening document, they go up to threaten others directly, just to highlight that this person is a small person at the bottom. Ding Yuanying's image is in line with the fantasies of all middle-aged greasy men about successful people, but is not in line with reality.
Finally, let me talk about it, why is this novel superficial rather than too profound? traces can also be found from the author. The original author graduated from high school. It’s not that he can’t write good articles if he has a low education. My favorite author, , Yu Hua, , has only graduated from junior high school with an education. What I want to express is that writing by is necessarily directly related to his personal experience. Literary works are the author's own perception of his own experience, plus some artistic processing. For example, Yu Hua wrote about workers, Haiyan wrote about police and gangsters, Guo Baochang wrote about " Da Mansion ", but the author's experience obviously does not meet the ability to control so many elements. Some people on the Internet say that it was written by Li Hongying, the master he met. I think it is reliable to meet a master, but it is basically impossible to write on behalf of others. Because his writing style does match his age and background, and I also found out that he also worked as a screenwriter of a TV series. When you meet an expert, you will give some commercial reference materials and cooperate with his own artistic creation, so you will feel split when you read this novel.
Part 2: The reason why "The Way of Heaven" is so popular
As for why the work "The Way of Heaven" is so popular, I have summarized the following reasons: First of all, Wang Zhiwen Teacher takes up 90%, , and Wang Zhiwen's line skills, I think no active actor can match it. He can read some lines that sound awkward and very advanced. This is very clear to the old monk who discusses Taoism in Mount Wutai. is followed by the clips of this drama, which is very consistent with the current middle-aged men's desire for successful knowledge. After was cut off by various pyramid schemes and business courses, the market for successful science has become a vacuum. The identity, status and realm of the character Ding Yuanying are simply tailor-made life mentors, and they don’t have to pay tuition fees, so they are praised by some people on the altar. You will find that this drama has a lot of likes on short video platforms, but no one cares about long video platforms such as Xiaopozhan.
As for why so many people praise it, the first thing is that the quality of this TV series is really good, and its acting skills, plot and connotation make it look very special in various types of films, because you can't find the second TV series that can combine such factors. But I believe that more than 90% of people in have not read the original novel or watched the complete TV series, nor can they understand the so-called cultural attributes, religious explanations such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. , however, a very small number of people say that they are really awesome and masterpieces after reading it. Those who don’t understand it are afraid that others will know they can’t understand it, so they can only follow it. It’s really awesome. Then some marketing accounts began to fuel the fire, which eventually led to the current situation. The basis for saying this is because after reading nearly 5,000 comments on a certain balcony, I found that the comments are basically divided into three categories. , one, like Ding Yuanying, does not speak human words, but it really doesn't understand it, but it feels awesome; the other is recommended by a big V to come and read it; the pertinent evaluation is only less than 1/10, and the herd effect is fully reflected in this series.
