Sister-brother relationship has become the trend of idol dramas in the past two years, especially after "Next Stop, Happiness" starring Song Qian and Song Weilong , the sister-brother relationship market has been completely opened. This year alone, two popular dramas focusing on the highlights of siblings and brothers are launched.
But then again, although there is a market for sister-brother love, it is always a niche theme compared to the general trend of idol dramas. But even so, many filmmakers still take risks in casting. They clearly focus on the label of siblings and brothers, but they ignore the age gap between the male and female protagonists when casting.
TV series " Round of Love " is a typical example. This drama tells the story of the divorced male and female protagonists who meet, know each other and fall in love. The main storyline of the story is the way of middle-aged idol dramas, but the casting of actors exudes the visual sense of emotional life dramas.
At present, the TV series "Love in the Corner" is rumored to be on TV on November 28. Judging from the cast and main plot, "Love in the Corner" has little chance of winning.
is 14 years apart. Are there no pressure when actors act?
TV series "Love in the Corner" is a work starring actors Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao. The age difference between the two in reality is 14 years old. Jiang Wenli, 56, even passed the range of middle-aged actresses, and was 6 years old. For viewers who have watched "The Mansion" and " Golden Wedding ", Jiang Wenli is considered a grandmother.
In terms of character setting, Jiang Wenli plays a fashionable hot mom and an urban white-collar worker in the play. On the other hand, Qin Shi, who is in his 30s in "The Law of 28 of Love", is about to become a partner in the law firm. As a result, Jiang Wenli, who is almost at the age of retirement in "Love in the Corner", actually plays a white-collar worker.
Just watching Jiang Wenli’s professional outfit in the play, she really doesn’t feel like an urban woman. This old-fashioned suit style and the fashionable combination of no one except the flight attendant will tie a small square scarf around his neck not only make Jiang Wenli look old-fashioned, but also exposes the age of the show.
"Love in the Corner" is a work filmed in 2016, so compared with today's urban dramas, "Love in the Corner" has a sense of the times everywhere. Even Ming Dao, known as the originator of idol dramas, has an programmer suit in the drama, a striped shirt and a pair of white pants. This is almost the same way as the screen boss 20 years ago.
And in the materials that are not many in TV series, the age gap between Jiang Wenli and Ming Dao is written in the appearance of the two. Mingdao's bronze skin is full of the visual sense of a sporty man. The clothes and suits and ties are very suitable for the image of an elite man and a single father.
But Jiang Wenli, who was standing beside her, had the aura of an elderly person. The scene of her hugging Ming Dao in the poster, from her temperament to outfits, she had the kindness of a mother-generation.
Judging from the previous trailer, the male and female protagonists of "Love in the Corner" have many scenes of cohabitation, and various physical contacts that show intimate relationships will be an important scene for the warming of the emotional line. But the audience felt disgusted just by looking at the poster. Didn’t Jiang Wenli and Mingdao really want to laugh when filming?
Age fit is really a flaw in idol dramas
From the perspective of idol dramas, the theme of sister-brother love pays more attention to the CP sense of casting. "The Law of Chi Dao" and "The Law of 28 of Love" are both quality works, but the TV series did not become a phenomenal hot work because of the atmosphere of the male and female protagonists.
in "Blade" Jin Chen and Wang Anyu have no big problems with appearance, but Jin Chen's temperament is more male, and Wang Anyu's breasts are more female. It always feels strange to get together.
As for "The Law of 28 of Love", it is because of the age difference between Yang Mi and Xu Kai in appearance. In many scenes where the two are in the same frame, the fatigue on Yang Mi's face makes the label of siblings have a strong sense of visualization as an aunt and nephew.
In contrast, as a popular product, the next stop is Happiness , although the characters created by Song Qian and Song Weilong are siblings, the age gap between the two is not that outrageous. Song Qian's face was full of collagen, and Song Weilong was a typical strong face, with the aggression of a mature man on her body.
In " Rational Life ", which has average popularity but excellent reputation, the age gap between Qin Lan and Wang Hedi is also very big. But judging from the appearance of the two, they are still a combination of bright sister and strong-skinned brother. Qin Lan does not look old, and Wang Hedi does not have the aura of a fledgling baby.
Not to mention that the market itself is not very acceptable to the setting of sister-brother relationship, even if it is a gender change, the audience cannot accept that the age gap between the male and female protagonists is too big. In the TV series " If I love me, don't think too much ", Chen Jianbin and Li Yitong , who are 20 years younger than him, play a couple. It is not an exaggeration for the two in the play to say that they are grandfathers and grandchildren.
shot is a young girl with collagen on her face, but the hairline of the four uncles on the side exposed their age, and the wrinkles on their faces were full of traces of time. In addition, the four uncles themselves do not rely on their faces to make a living, and their figure and appearance are all the same as Chen Daoming in "The Golden Years".
What's more, Chen Daoming is so handsome that he is so cruel that he just clicked on it in "The Golden Years" and Ni . The fourth uncle also talked about love with Li Yitong in "If I Love Me, Don't Think Too Much". The audience really accepts incompetence.
To put it bluntly, the audience does not care about the age difference between the actors themselves, but they care about the age difference between the actors. Like Chen Daoming, he is obviously the age of an elder. Even if he plays the role of a relationship, he will only end up when he gets better. It shows more about his concerns as a mature man and his tolerance for the relationship partner.
Back to the upcoming "Love in the Corner", Jiang Wenli's sense of age cannot be covered, but the role she portrays is still a strong woman in the workplace and a novice in the housework in life.
There are many plots of her recklessness in the plot, but the audience really can't accept that a mother in her fifties and still with a 6-year-old child is like a silly sweet, waiting for the prince to appear to save her life's trivial matters.
Nowadays, as a drama that has been suppressed by the corners for nearly 6 years, the level of costumes and props has been on the surface, and the setting and the direction of the plot are also destined to be unconventional.
. In terms of starring, no matter how the actor's acting skills are, the audience has labeled the show as "inappropriate". It is basically impossible for this drama to have good results.
Of course, "Love in the Corner" has not been officially launched yet. Before the TV series is broadcast, it is difficult for the audience to speculate on the response of the show in the market. Perhaps this kind of unconventional plot will cause controversy on the Internet for casting male and female protagonists of a poor generation, but after being broadcast on the TV series, it has been recognized by the sinking market and gained good ratings.
is just no matter what, I hope that domestic dramas will be more careful in casting, and they should be more cautious whether it is the beginning or the end of the year.
