On the evening of October 3, the TV series "Beautiful Battlefield" premiered on TVB single episode. This TV series is starring Fang Lishen , Chen Ying and other actors. It is written and directed by Ye Nianchen , and has another name: Hong Kong version of Penthouse. Translated, it is the Hong Kong version of "Penthouse". The TV series "Penthouse" was launched in South Korea in 2020 and is a consortium's satirical drama. Obviously, it is very fair to position "Beautiful Battlefield" here.
"Beautiful Battlefield" belongs to the Taiwanese anniversary drama in TVB. At this time of year, TVB always brings out some Taiwanese anniversary dramas. However, the quality of these plays is uneven. At present, this work that studies the Korean drama "Pintoon" obviously lacks more value because it is too bloody. At the same time, due to the lack of realistic ability of the Hong Kong drama itself, the highlights of this TV series are also reduced. The beginning of the
drama is flashback. The heroine has become a top entertainment star in Hong Kong and has married into a wealthy family. However, paparazzi reported that the popular female star who married into a wealthy family suffered from family violence. The man who abused the female celebrity later went out to sea to fish and agreed to return three days later, but who knew that after the coast guard found the yacht, he found that the rich man had disappeared. The beginning of this wealthy family struggle is indeed quite satirical as "The Penthouse".
However, the next scenes entered the state of the heroine's memory, and even the memories took decades, starting from the heroine's childhood. At that time, her mother took the heroine to chase the star Leslie Cheung , and the heroine even got the opportunity to take a photo with Leslie Cheung. Leslie Cheung encouraged the heroine to participate in the Miss Hong Kong selection activities, etc. Time flies, and it is the day when Leslie Cheung commits suicide. The heroine's entire memory story also began on that day.
On that day, almost three major things happened in the heroine's life. The first thing is that my father and stepmother's small supermarket on the street was a gangster. Fortunately, another gangster helped her to avoid being smashed. The second thing is that his brother Leslie Cheung committed suicide. The heroine heard the news on the bus home, and the whole bus was heartbroken. The third thing is that the heroine discovered that the sister of different parents is an indecent little girl who specializes in making money with men. The sister took the initiative and falsely accused the heroine, and the heroine was kicked out of the house by her father.
Whether it is a gangster who makes trouble or the heroine being framed and kicked out of the house, the beginning of this TV series reveals a strong and bloody smell. Especially his biological father, he had no judgment on what his daughters did. He listened to one-sided words and drove away his daughter. Such family dramas, even in the bloody Thai dramas, will make the audience laugh. At this point, "Beautiful Battlefield" is not so much about learning the Korean drama "Penthouse", but it is really better to learn the essence of some bloody dramas.
Even in the beginning of the plot, the heroine has become famous and has become a judge of the Miss Selection Competition. Seeing the intrigue between these ladies, it is very bloody: two seemingly good Miss Hong Kong, one of them deceived the other, and asked her to help herself find something, thus losing the qualification to compete and missing one competitor. Such low-level and childish behavior is regarded as such a high-level way of fighting in the play.
The real essence of the Korean drama "The Top Floor" is really not these low-level and childish ways of fighting, but the bitter satire of these fighting. In the play, no one has an IQ that is not online. In the Hong Kong drama "Beautiful Battlefield", the irony is that it is impossible to see. What can be seen are these low-level and inferior ways of fighting, and they present this kind of thing as a very good highlight. This is a regression in Hong Kong dramas. What is more constrained by
is still an old problem with TVB TV series, that is, its realistic ability is seriously insufficient. This is a common problem faced by Hong Kong dramas. From the moment Hong Kong dramas were born, they had a strong commercial atmosphere, not the background of realism.Therefore, in terms of exaggeration, funnyness, spoofing, etc., Hong Kong dramas have unique abilities, but in reality, they lack abilities. Many Hong Kong drama workers have also discovered this problem.
Hong Kong dramas lack realistic ability, not only because of the lack of realistic ability in script creation, but also lack realistic awareness in director shooting, actor performance, etc. Even a very realistic script is filmed by the actors in the Hong Kong drama process, and they don’t know how to perform in reality - because TVB interns start to learn performance, which is the kind of commercial routine, rather than grasping the realism ability.
At this point, the lack of realistic has become the biggest constraint of "Beautiful Battlefield". This TV series tries to tell the audience that it is real, but due to problems such as insufficient realistic ability and bloody plots, it makes it a TV series with excessive quality. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
