overnight, the "President Drama" that once dominated the screen became a person who everyone called for. Who should bear the blame?
"Cruising Dreams in the Entertainment Circle" lost the throne of "the lowest score for domestic film and television dramas"
Since its release, it has received many rounds of bad reviews. Is the audience good? The scores explain everything. Currently, the drama scores on Douban are as low as 2.1, and more than 96% of netizens have scored the lowest score of 1.

Douban score 2.1
From the moment everyone pursued it to the sudden death of reputation, what has "Ba Zong Drama" experienced?
"Ba Zong Drama" professional dramas performed by professionals have received such bad reviews. Is "Ba Zong Drama" no longer awesome? As early as 20 years ago, this type of drama was popular all over the country.
Since 2001, the phenomenon-level drama " Meteor Garden " started with Daomingsi , and the "dominant" in film and television dramas emerged one after another. Works such as "The Hard Love of Diamond King", "I Don't Have Time to Say I Love You", and "The Gorgeous Adventure of the Bright Fate" have cultivated a large number of representative domestic "dominant".
Let’s talk about the originator “Meteor Garden” first. The Douban score is 8.2. Many people born in the 1980s and 1990s had memories of the grand occasion. Some people shouted "Young Master" when they were in and out, and kept saying "You civilians". The four male protagonists with different styles fascinated several generations, and Daoming Temple was the most popular. The protagonists F4 and Big S have ascended as a result, and there are still dividends 20 years later. Jerry Yan and Wu Jianhao participated in the first and second seasons of the group variety show "Herry Brothers who Overcome the Troubles" respectively, and still have many fans.
With "Meteor Garden" in front, it is no surprise that such domineering "young masters" such as "Next Stop, Happiness" and " Bubble Summer " will appear again, but the heroines seem to be emerging one after another, and who is poorer and who is miserable.
After that, the remake of " to watch Meteor shower " scored as low as 5.6. Coincidentally, the drama was also starring Zhang Han. This drama has a famous line "Is it my fault to be rich and handsome?" and the famous "Dunmu took me to Metersbonwe ".
In the popular "Big Drama" of that year, " Shanshan is here ", the famous lines of Fengteng are still talked about today: I want the whole world to know that this fish pond has been contracted by you. However, the Douban score of this drama is pretty good, with 7.6 points. The male protagonist Zhang Han is an old acquaintance of "The Domineering Drama".
has been analyzed by the media. Although "Ba Zong Drama" is highly praised by the audience and the industry, its reputation has always been in a state of separation. According to the statistics of FUNJI Entertainment Data Service in 2020, only 10 Chinese "Big Dramas" had Douban scores above 7 points, while only two works after 2019 were ", half is honey, half is hurt " and "I Like You".

The correct way to shoot "Big Drama" that was popular back then: Use snacks, don't be greasy
As the aesthetic taste and love concept of female audiences change, everyone is tired of the routine of "women, you have to listen to me" and begins to appreciate more diverse emotional relationships.
As early as two years ago, industry insiders said that in the future, as long as the demand for love and perfection exists, the "Big Master Drama" will still exist.Neither the industry nor the audience will give up the "Duozhu Drama", but it must be based on the premise of full characters, delicate details, continuous progress and innovation of the series. Creators should use a more realistic "emperor's new clothes" to satisfy the audience's fantasies and unrealized desires in life.
This year is not a popular drama with a reputation. The male lead setting of some of the dramas can also be said to be the "dominant". For example, in ", the Canglan Jue ", this drama basically follows the old routine of "the domineering president falls in love with me". "Moon Zun" Dongfang Qingcang and the simple and kind little orchid with a low identity. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" demonstrates how to effectively tell love stories in the face of the present audience: love is mutual respect, mutual understanding and protection. Rather than saying that the "explosion point" of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is that it has created a "domineering" male lead, it is better to say that the director chose to tell a good love story.
Another popular drama " Menghualu ", some viewers said that the male lead Gu Qianfan is the "dominant" wearing ancient costumes. However, although the background of this drama was in the Song Dynasty, the writing of female friendship and the presentation of the concept of love between men and women are all responses to the current hot topics, and the popularity is quite amazing.
The male protagonist setting of " Star Han Qianghuan " also has the "dominant" element, but the female protagonist setting is counter-routine, not stupid and sweet, nor is it dependent on the powerful male protagonist to survive.
Industry insiders: Audiences are improving, don’t treat them as fools
More than industry insiders said in an interview with the media that the problems reflected by "Gentlemen of East Eight" have attracted vigilance in the industry. There are certain problems in the production level and values of this drama. Even if it is removed from the video platform after the finale, it is not surprising. "Stories are made up, and there is no life, but only a life of love and enjoyment. Such a drama should not be broadcast." An industry insider admitted that a drama like "Gentlemen in the East Eighth District" reminded the creators that you must not be perfunctory or foolish when making film and television dramas. The audience and the market cannot and should not tolerate such works.
There are media comments, it is hard to say that the social soil of the popular "Bo-President Drama" has undergone significant changes, and it has still become a choice for some groups to meet their psychological needs; but the reputation of the drama has been cold - creating the lowest score record of the Douban platform - is enough to show how inappropriate its outdated gender concepts and narratives that materialize, belittle, humiliate and manipulate women.
The audience's aesthetics are constantly transforming, and the social culture, including gender concepts, is also constantly changing. Creators are stubborn in the bizarre and exaggerated imagination in their minds, and do not look up at the reality around them. Then the integrated fantasy and desire pictures cannot escape the embarrassment. However, the drama's ridicule also shows that although the cultural products that we had worried about are not "eliminated", the audience's confrontational decoding will naturally eliminate its meaning.
As media commented, the "fallback" of "East Eight Districts" reminds some practitioners in the entertainment industry not to treat the audience as fools. Traffic can never replace reputation. Only by relying on strength and sincerity can we truly win respect.
