caused netizens to pull out the 2017 "Emergency Doctor", and for a while, short video clips of the "prophecy" were sent to the circle of friends. Seeing that the doctor's decisive and efficient emergency plan and professional and scientific isolation methods in the clip coincide with the epidemic that is currently being urgently resolved, everyone can't help but sigh "this is a professional medical drama." Looking back at the history of Chinese TV dramas in the past, it seems that there are few high-quality domestic medical dramas.

medical drama is to let everyone have more respect and understanding of the industry
In fact, medical drama is also a kind of industry drama, but somehow, domestic TV dramas suddenly shrink when they encounter industry dramas, regardless of professionalism or plot. All are somewhat inferior. why? Some people say it's the screenwriter to blame. Indeed, the writing of industry dramas requires screenwriters to have a very high level of industry knowledge, and medical dramas require screenwriters to either have deep in the industry, preferably with a very professional medical background, or be able to do a lot of homework quickly and collect information over a period of time. To complete the description of the medical field. This is why some medical dramas invite deans, directors or experts in the domestic medical field to serve as consultants. But the screenwriter is not the main thing.
In contrast to domestic TV dramas, industry dramas are not mainstream, so-called most industry dramas are romantic dramas dressed in industry garb. This is not a symptom of a drama, but a common problem of many contemporary domestic dramas. From a logical point of view, romantic dramas make money, have ratings and popularity; logically speaking, everything in this world cannot escape a love. In itself, the profession of domestic doctors has not received the most due respect due to various reasons, which indirectly leads to the fact that everyone is not very interested in this industry. After the mystery of the medical industry and the sacred sense of saving people by the doctors themselves, everyone's focus on medical dramas ultimately fell on the hordes of small fresh meat. Those who watch medical dramas rarely see professional doctors, because their lives are fully occupied by hospitals and patients. The majority of the audience is still young people who usually watch sweet idols and urban love. So a medical drama turned into a love drama in the end, which is the result of big data showing the audience's favorite categories.

Objectively speaking, whether an industry can become a hot spot in film and television depends to a large extent on whether the characteristics of the industry can provide good dramatized material for the drama, and whether it can provide the hero with a dilemma and soul limit torture. Opportunity. When we watch medical dramas, a small number of people are watching medical knowledge. Most people still want to see what bitter and bloody stories are there in this industry that is about life and death at any time. And the meaning of the medical drama, the last thing for everyone, is to hope that more people will respect and understand the medical industry more.
"Emergency Doctor" has beautification and dramatization, but there is also a real
"Emergency Doctor" This drama is recognized by everyone and praised by many audiences, but this drama respects the audience in terms of professional knowledge and achieves "let everyone Learn more about how difficult it is to be a doctor." Many doctors around me said that the techniques and procedures for tracheal intubation, chest compressions, and electrical defibrillation in the show are acceptable. As for the ECG graphics, the data in the form is correct, and it doesn't hurt to watch it. And they are very gratified that this drama adds a common sense of first aid at the end of the film. Such popular science is the highest significance of medical drama.
Do you say that "Emergency Doctor" has beautification and fiction? Film and television draws materials from life, and ultimately must be changed for visual presentation. In order to make everyone pay more attention to medical treatment, medical dramas have highlighted some people and dramatized some plots, which is reasonable. For example, there is a very moving plot where the doctors in the play pay for the treatment of the patients themselves, but in reality, if every doctor does this, it will have a series of effects. What's more, medical care is not an industry of wealthy professionals. Many hospitals are still responsible for their own profits and losses. Doctors are just a part-time job, relying on the skills and knowledge they have learned to support the family. For another example, many medical students criticized this drama, saying that the heroine ignores all regulations, rotation, special training, and promotion systems, and puts it in reality. Even if you graduate from a college or university, as long as you have less than a few years of work, it cannot represent the medical level. Indeed, medicine is an empirical discipline. From the 30s of a doctoral degree to the director of the job title evaluation, you have been working hard all the way. So many people are veryIt is easy to be hired as the deputy chief physician and the setting of the lead group is a lot of complaints. But there is no way. If you really talk about a director who is more than 50 years old, where does the audience look?

Anyway, in "Emergency Doctor", you can see that the story is deliberate, and try to avoid excessive deification of medical staff. In some previous medical dramas, the doctor was beaten by another patient while rescuing the patient, the rescue was interrupted, the patient died, and the patient’s family had to deal with the medical troubles. But doctors are also ordinary people, and they can't save people with a smile while being beaten inexplicably. So in "Emergency Doctors", we see more real doctors and some real emergency department conditions. And it is behind these realities and realities that we can step into them and feel how difficult they are. The focus of the
medical drama is the social observation
returns to the scene that resembles the current epidemic. Many people marvel that this is the prediction of the TV drama, and some rationally point out that this is a re-enactment of the SARS situation that year. Putting stories that happened in reality into the plots of film and television dramas is something that many creators will refer to when they come into contact with unfamiliar fields. Because the facts happen and have a basis, it can be more credible when writing. However, it is worth noting that even though the sample cases drawn from the real environment are very rich, its focus is not in the pure medical knowledge of the profession itself, but in the observation of sociality. Using real events to find material, but having a smart eye to discover social gaps is one of the secrets of screenwriters in creating dramas in the medical industry. Using some medical stories to observe a certain reality in the current medical ecology is also trying to alleviate the existing social anxiety problems such as the doctor-patient relationship. It is the mission of domestic medical dramas to show the current status of China's medical ecology.
When the "Emergency Doctor" was broadcast, Jiang Xiaoqi's sentence in the play was once on hot search-"Each patient is only a few tenths of the day in front of us, and we are in each disease. In front of the patient, it is the only one." You will find that this is the "unique" situation of Chinese medical care, and it is the specific reality that Chinese medical dramas have to and must take into consideration when designing cases. To give patients a choice, one is "money" and the other is "fate", giving the doctor a dilemma, one is "favor" and the other is "personnel". Therefore, unconsciously, Chinese medical dramas have to bear a series of thinking propositions behind conflicting and contradictory medical topics. The final point is the definition of doctor's identity and the collision of medical concepts. And what every new medical drama can bring to us is still when we re-examine this unfamiliar and familiar field, will there be some new understandings?

In fact, medical dramas have always been a tough corner of the industry drama "triangle", and they work with public security criminal investigation and legal affairs. The medical industry covers a wide range of society, and the starting point of medical dramas is to focus on the life of the bottom society, which can be described as a popular "mainstream positive energy" type. In terms of creation, there are many typical samples of medical stories, which belong to the theme of "pure natural advantage" with rich sources of adaptation and wonderful creation materials. But I have seen the rankings of domestic medical dramas commented by many netizens, most of which are "Anaesthesia Storm 1" (2015)> "Anaesthesia Storm 2" (2017)> "Heart Technique" (2012)> "Surgery Storm" (2017)> " Emergency Doctor (2017). But in fact, every year there will be a certain representative and influential medical drama series, but in the end, it will inevitably be compared with these classic dramas, and then the reputation plummets.
However, the development and progress of medical dramas are also in our eyes. In medical dramas in 2020, the mainstream form of starring the popular Xiaohua partner has gradually emerged. In "The rest of my life, please advise me" starring Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan, "Thank You Doctor" starring Yang Mi and Bai Yu, and "The Great Pediatrician" starring Wang Ziwen and Chen Xiao, I can see with satisfaction. The role of the doctor who was supported by Zhang Jiayi, Hai Qing and others has now been replaced by these young people. But at the same time, there are also some worries. After all, medical dramas are not like costume dramas and romantic sweet pet dramas. You can rely on salt, sweetness and milk to reap a wave of praise. On the contrary, a small mistake is It is easy to be bombarded by netizens.

Of course, at the moment of the epidemic, some film and television planning teams have begun to pull out all the medical subjects in the inventory to see if they can be incubated. I believe that after the epidemic, many film and television series based on this epidemic will appear in large numbers. The most regular description of the epidemic is that the external focus is on helping Wuhan from all parts of the country, and the internal focus is on how doctors and nurses rescue patients regardless of their lives and unknown risks. But in the future, medical dramas at that time may have a higher footing. Perhaps, from a perspective that people did not understand before, such as the government, foundations, etc., using other side figures such as reporters and volunteer volunteers as the protagonists to introduce the story of the epidemic can also be a trick to take the lead.
