Every year there are one or two made-up TV dramas that come out and get slapped. This year is great. Not even halfway through 2019, there are already three dramas that have almost perfect scores for complaints.
is different from the bad dramas in previous years that were too boring to watch. Although these three dramas have low reputations, they are surprisingly popular.
Perhaps the current audience has begun to have the mentality of " is better to watch jokes than dramas"... In fact, from this point of view, it has already indicated that there are fewer and fewer " garbage viewers ", and they treat those they don't like with a ridiculing mentality. TV series are always more elegant than online violence.
1. "Legend of Chong'er" ruined by Fu Huadao
"Legend of Chong'er" has a score of 2.7. This score has already "beat" most bad dramas on Douban - there are only a handful of them worse than it.
In fact, its lineup is so luxurious that even before it was aired, we wanted to give it a high score:
Until we saw the male protagonist Zhang Yishan in the official promotion, in fact, he looked like this in the play:
And he is not the male protagonist at all.
Audience: "If you are kidnapped, just blink." Zhang Yishan: The hood is too tight and you can't blink.
Wang Longhua, who once played Jia Lian, plays the male lead Chong'er in "Legend of Chong'er". It really matches the name of the character when he debuted. Wang Longhua in this drama is like wearing a "false face".
Any part of the facial features looks very handsome when taken apart, but when put together, they are inseparable and crowded.
We always criticize the male protagonist’s appearance for being too unkind. In fact, everyone in this drama has been tricked by the Tao.
Zhang Yishan, who is as obscene as a little wild monkey, stands in the C position, making it difficult for people to ignore him. It is said that Pu Bajia is very good-looking, but he looks like a prodigal young master who just came out of a brothel with his big flowers and purple dress.
Collect six crooked melons and split dates to summon the dragon Chong'er.
Chong'er, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, began to wander around various vassal states when he was young, and his life was full of legends. This historical figure can unearth countless wonderful stories, but "Legend of Chong'er" cannot touch on even one or two.
But the biggest blame still falls on Fuhua Road.
Not only the protagonists and supporting actors wore colorful clothes, but also the onlookers wore colorful clothes.
Some crew members appear to be filming, but secretly they run dyeing workshops.
Look at these soldiers wearing golden armor all over the city, the whole screen looks like plastic.
The crew knew nothing about history before choosing their costumes.
Leather armor was mainly popular in the Spring and Autumn Period. Bronze armor and iron armor became popular during the Warring States Period. No matter what kind of armor it was, under the production conditions at that time, there would be no complicated hollow patterns. These random costumes are really eye-catching. Make a play.
In the play, Ji Chong'er seems to have ascended the throne in his middle age. In fact, Ji Chong'er was still on the run in his middle age, and did not return to Jin until he was 61 years old, where he killed Duke Huai of Jin and came to power. The remake of Wu Zetian did deal with the age when she ascended the throne, but this drama did not take it into account at all.
Most people have given up on the drama long ago because they were convinced by Huadao, but some people are still persisting in pursuing it. Perhaps the only thing that can support their belief is the performance of the actors - although Chong Er's appearance is awkward, his acting skills are still good.
I hope those born after 2000 will not think that this is really Chong Er’s life.
2. The original version of "Fengshen Yanyi"
is the same as "Legend of Chong'er". The Fuhua Dao in "Fengshen Yanyi" is also taken for granted (fortunately, it is not too outrageous). The TV series refers to the background of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. , since it is based on real history, we should not arbitrarily add modern (photo studio style) aesthetics for the sake of visual beauty.
In comparison, in the 1990 version of " Fengshenbang" due to limited conditions, the costumes of the actors were very simple, which actually coincided with the characteristics of that dynasty.
But the biggest criticism of "The Romance of the Gods" is not that it accepts Hua Dao, but that it falls under this curse - "The adaptation of is not random editing, and the joke is not nonsense about ."
"Fengshen Yanyi" is the original name of the original novel. If it is a joke or nonsense, it cannot be sold as dog meat. It should be called "Fengshen Gaiden" or "Fengshen Gaiden" or something like that. This is the minimum respect for the original work.
How far have they gone with their nonsense?
Erlang Shen Yang Jian, became the Erlang Shen Yang Jian in the play, because the origin of his Erlang Shen name originated from "Tai Er".
No matter which version of the remake of the drama, Daji is a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people, but in this drama, she has become a goddess of vengeance who bears a blood feud and fights for the people of a city.
No matter how strong the eye shadow is on the eyelids of the leading actor Wang Likun, it doesn't match Daji. When she wears light makeup, she seems to be watching "Zhaojun Goes Out of the Block"; when she wears heavy makeup, it's probably Zhaojun's revenge.
In the original work, the thousand-year-old fox demon turns into a male fox. Can we accept the setting of exchanging heart-to-hearts and grievances with Daji? The male fox possesses Daji and confuses King Zhou ? What the hell kind of operation is this...
Deng Lun played the fox demon and gave the worst makeup since his career, breaking the perfect impression that Xu Feng gave to the audience online.
The cognitively subversive adaptation made it impossible to guess the direction of the plot, so this drama still gained a lot of buzz. However, when the drama was about halfway through, the audience’s smiles gradually stiffened, and it was still the same vulgar routine: Gong Du. , love triangle. The core of the myth that it should be is just a formality.
Luo Jin cried from episode 1 to episode 50. His face is always full of bitterness and hatred. As a brave and capable character in mythology, this Erlang Shen is only responsible for looking at his sister and crying.
Erlang Shen, Fox Demon, and King Zhou all fell in love with Daji. They co-wrote a costume idol drama under the cloak of myth.
The only one who can't find too many faults is Jiang Ziya played by Yu Hewei. Many people reluctantly followed him because of him.
In addition, the immortal system in the original work of Fengshen Yanyi is not fully developed in this drama. Don't all the immortal classes deserve to have names in "Fengshen Yanyi"?
3. Suspended drama " My True Friend "
I think that as the audience's aesthetic appreciation improves, the screenwriters will also keep pace with the times.
For example, "Top of the Forbidden City", which was so cool many years ago that made boys and girls spend their youthful days, now seems to be making them laugh out loud. This show doesn’t have to wait a few years, it can be hilarious now.
The heroine uses Weibo’s real estate agency salary to argue with people who buy houses about educational concepts. I don't have to let the company make money, but I must let you understand the importance of getting along with your children. Where can I find good employees who "think about" the company so much? How many years has it been for the screenwriter
to have never worked or been in contact with ordinary office workers?
Suspended dramas generally refer to all TV dramas that are not grounded and are outside the lives of ordinary people.
No matter how unreasonable it is, this drama has it all arranged. Mythological dramas and costume dramas can still be labeled as "close to life", but workplace dramas cannot, because they are stories happening around us.
With Cheng Zhenzhen's business ability, he can still get praise from his boss even if he can't sell a house. "My True Friends" really has no shortage of fools.
To say that the lineup of "My True Friend" is indeed possessed by koi, even Yang Chaoyue has to admire:
Deng Lun's Xu in " Sweet Ashes as Frost " Feng Yijiao has long dominated the hot topic list, Zhu Yilong first opened the way for " Zhenhun", and then was shortlisted for the Magnolia Award with "Do You Know Should Be Green, Fat, Red, and Thin"? He jumped from an unknown actor to a quasi-A-list, this year's matter.
Not to mention, the veteran drama star Ni Dahong, who became famous again with "Everything is Good", is also a powerful player who has been shortlisted for the Magnolia Award.
When this drama first started filming last year, only the heroine Yang Ying was popular. As soon as it started airing, the three men in the drama had become extremely popular through other dramas. It's not koi who is koi.
And now, the friends who are following the two male protagonists of the drama have no choice but to show their hands: The plot of is really unbearable! The male god is sorry.
A drama that even fans can’t swallow, will passers-by still pay for it?
Really knows how to...
For example, some viewers commented that this drama is very close to life.
When I saw this, I was confused. With a debt of 6,000 yuan and only 2,000 yuan left, eating a convenience hot pot worth tens of yuan to "get by" is called close to life? Anyone who has been through hard times knows that there are more ways to save money.
As a real estate agent, he does not take selling houses as his own responsibility. He desperately criticizes his clients’ educational concepts and takes the blame for the company’s strength despite his own embarrassment. These Madonna characters are so exaggerated that it makes people question life - why are we around us? There is no such person?
The supporting character appeals for life, while the protagonist drinks chicken soup.
Perhaps the original intention of the screenwriter is to show the various aspects of life through these ordinary things and reflect the professional spirit of the little people.
However, what is depicted is a protagonist with a dazzling halo suspended outside the lives of ordinary people.
These three dramas have almost taken over all the shortcomings of domestic dramas
Why I specifically picked out these three dramas to write about, because they have almost taken over all the shortcomings of domestic dramas.
"Legend of Chong'er" has 72 episodes and has a rating of 2.8; "The Romance of the Gods" has 65 episodes and has a rating of 3.4; "My True Friend" has 48 episodes and has a rating of 4.8.
actually missed one " Dream Love ". The author has only followed 8 episodes of this drama, so it is inconvenient to make too many comments. It can only be said that the performance of the young actors in the previous episodes was very good, far overshadowing the brilliance of Yang Mi and Huo Jianhua .
- Disadvantages 1. Use historical figures to construct a brand new story
The costumes in "Legend of Chong'er" inherit Yu Zheng's early aesthetics, with red flowers and green willows, as gaudy as they come. This drama was filmed in 2016, and it’s understandable that it’s confusing. This represents the aesthetics of some directors of a certain period (not the audience).
Due to the popularity of the main drama, many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors want to follow this routine and continue to create a "ratings myth". Who knows that by the time it is broadcast in 2019, mature audiences will already be tired of the 50-cent special effects. The colors, cutouts, filters, and especially these gaudy costumes seem even more out of place when compared with the cold tones and historical richness of major costume dramas nowadays.
For example, the service methods of "Nirvana in Fire" and "Zhifou" make people feel more comfortable.
The service method of "Fengshen Yanyi" is not much different from that of "Legend of Chong'er". Coincidentally, this drama was completed in 2015, one year earlier than "Legend of Chong Er". What's even more coincidental is that the main directors of the two dramas are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For a long time, Hengdian Film and Television City was almost occupied by crews led by directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Various crude costume dramas based on market demand turned out. Some of them were lucky enough to become stars, and more were broadcast online. No qualifications.
Lai Shuiqing, the director of "The Legend of Chong'er", can be regarded as a senior remake director. Under him, there are Chung Han-liang version of "The End of the World" and Su Youpeng's version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". ", Chung Han-liang's version of " The Legend of the Deer and the Cauldron ", the 2014 version of " The Deer and the Cauldron "... Until the 2017 " Flowers Fade and Flowers Fly All Over the Sky ", a skin-cutting special effects drama, Director Lai's The turning point begins.
If the small success of the previous remakes is due to the accurate understanding of the audience's context, then when the audience keeps pace with the times, Director Lai is still stuck in the routine before 2016, and it was only broadcast a few years later. This "Legend of Chong'er" suffered a dimensionality reduction attack and was destined to end.
is based on history, appropriately adapted and artistically processed, and is the privilege of film and television dramas . For example, "Nirvana in Fire" refers to the history of Nanliang to conceive a wonderful plot drama. The characters are all fictional.
"Legend of Chong'er" not only refers to the historical background, but also uses almost all the characters as real historical figures to interpret a male protagonist palace fighting drama !
The Fu Hua Dao that does not respect historical prototypes and the legendary stories that do not respect historical figures are both equally disturbing. "Legend of Chong'er" has both.
- Disadvantages 2. Adaptation is not random fabrication, and joking is not nonsense
"The Romance of the Gods" focuses on the collapse of plot logic, so the popularity has more to do with the screenwriter. Screenwriter Zhu Sujin's previous works include "Kangxi Dynasty" - co-written with the original author Yue Yuehe, but the standard is a little lower than the previous "Yongzheng Dynasty". Fortunately, with the blessing of the original author, it has not strayed too far.
He also has works such as "My Brother's Name is Shunliu", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Three Kingdoms", "Iron Blood Red Security", etc., which are all familiar to the audience.
It is obvious that the TV series created by Zhu Sujin by adapting his own works (such as "My Brother's Name is Shunliu") are quite interesting, but it seems a bit incompetent for him to adapt other people's works alone, especially this kind of mythological drama.
The volume of the world of humans and gods contained in the original work of "Feng Shen Yan Yi" can evolve into many versions. Therefore, there have been countless remakes later. Although the quality is uneven, they basically follow the overall pattern of the mythical system.
Wen Bixia's version of "Feng Shen Bang"
In short, what the original work wants to express is definitely not the love and love of Daji, Yang Jian, Fox Demon, and King Zhou. The screenwriter did the next best thing, narrowed the plot, and reflected this mythical world with love and family affection. You really can't guess the ending.
Because this idol drama is mixed with palace fighting and bloody love, it not only subverts the established characters in the original work, but also reduces the most worthy of showing the fairy system to a background. What else can we say?
The theme is already so unclear, and those frequent time-travel lines and retarded logic can almost be read as jokes.
- Disadvantages 3. Fake and empty modern dramas
Domestic workplace dramas have been ruining one after another in recent years. In "My True Friend", people like Cheng Zhenzhen are placed in the real workplace and will be beaten to a pulp in less than one round.
Just like the maidservant Wei Yingluo in "Story of Yanxi Palace", where in the deep palace did she get the opportunity to be so presumptuous.
is unreal and makes people laugh the most.
The workplace drama we want to see should be flesh and blood. The inside stories of real estate agencies, the stories of little people, and the real experiences in the struggle can at least allow us to feel awe and empathy for this industry through these details.
(The picture above shows the high-scoring workplace drama "The Good Fight", with a score of 9.5 and highly restored professional details)
But our screenwriters work behind closed doors and construct stories based entirely on imagination, using Mary Sue routines on various professional dramas, just changing It’s just a different scene and a different profession.
doesn’t understand this industry, and is unwilling to bother asking experts for advice.
This situation also occurs in many workplace dramas with the theme of medical career
such as "Male Obstetrician Doctor" and "Young Doctor". Various errors and omissions in medical common sense make medical students who follow the drama feel embarrassed.
(Please don’t mistake the white coat for a trench coat)
About 20% of doctors watch such dramas because they want to learn medical knowledge, but they find that the common sense they have learned has been seriously misled by the TV series.
Doctors know the difference, but ordinary people may regard it as truth. It is impossible to estimate how many people who have never studied medicine will be misled by incorrect first aid knowledge. Common sense mistakes such as "pulling out the knife directly after a knife injury", "running around with a patient with a fracture", and "holding a chest X-ray and saying that the calf is broken" are common.
(This concentration can be used to pickle bacon, it should actually be 0.9%)
Switching back to the real estate industry, which is less prone to professional mistakes, the screenwriter did not really put the details into practice.
What is the most important thing about a real estate agency? Business ability!
Cheng Zhenzhen’s business ability is, in the mind of every professional who has worked in the real estate industry, a sluggish person who should be kicked out of the team.
Cheng Zhenzhen
If you fall in love with the invisible rich second generation, you don't have to worry about your livelihood at all. Anyway, the ending is definitely to marry the rich second generation and reach the pinnacle of life. Now working hard at the bottom with the rich second generation is just to experience life.
People who have really worked hard in the workplace or are currently working hard will only laugh when they see such a plot. After all, it is still a "cool" drama.
I can finally cheat my mother. I’m so happy.
There are several people who can gain the favor of two rich and handsome men when their lives are at a low point. They can pay 500,000 yuan when their business is messed up. They can easily borrow money from their mothers, and their boyfriends will take the initiative. Taking this money - this kind of thing only happens in idol dramas.
The screenwriter thinks that the workplace is too simple and easy. If real estate agents imitate Cheng Zhenzhen's approach to selling houses, believe me, they will be fired in one day. Therefore, the cooperation of a shady boss is also necessary (I really don’t know how she got this position).
"My True Friend" store manager
"Building Dreams" uses a new title to clearly tell everyone that I am an idol drama.
Of course, many viewers pointed out errors and omissions in the technical details of the construction. Since the official promotion is branded as a workplace, it is better to pay attention to some details.
"Building Dreams", formerly known as "Master"
Outsiders watch the excitement, and insiders look at the door. When the insider's door is also figured out, the workplace drama will be considered qualified.
The audience knows what kind of drama they want to see. From "Dajiang Dahe", "Do You Know", "It's All Good", to the popular "Icebreaker", each one has topped the ratings with real data. The best thing about these dramas is It means rigorous logic and attention to detail.
Guo Jingfei gave his best acting skills
It is worth mentioning that "Operation Icebreaker" also came to an unfinished ending. The key point is that Chen Ke's line arrangement was extremely unreasonable and the ending seemed very hasty. But overall, because the details are in place, it still does not affect the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama.
"Ice Breaking Operation" Chen Ke
We will ignore the bad flaws because we are generally satisfied, so the audience is relatively generous. As for you taking a drama that is full of flaws and asking me to pick out the advantages to prove that they are working hard, then I'm sorry, the audience is not that easy to fool anymore.
