70 episode ushered in a controversial ending. At the beginning of its broadcast, the play received much attention because of its new work by Xu Bing, the screenwriter of "Red" who ranked the first in the 2014 national drama Douban score, and Sun Honglei and other acting actors. However, due to the procrastination of the plot and the excessive emphasis on "tone", many viewers who eagerly followed the drama were disappointed, and the Douban score fell from 8.2 in the opening to 5.9 in the final. On the evening of the 20th, director Xu Bing himself published a long article explaining his original intention expressed through "New World", reflecting on the reasons for the gap between creation and the audience, and thanking the audience for their tolerance.
Under Xu Bing's conception, "New World" is a very poetic work with great internal dramatic tension. The first few episodes of the broadcast have endless plot clues, especially the characters are bright in color, and the sense of the times is realistic. As for the actors, Sun Honglei, Zhang Luyi, Yin Fang, Dongyu Zhou, as well as Wan Qian and Li Chun who have appeared one after another, all satisfy the stylistic pursuit of directors and screenwriters. It's a pity that the emphasis on characters and plot, the loose rhythm, and the layout of the story through a large number of details and group portraits have gradually consumed the patience of the audience. The feeling of the whole play is that the director cares too much about each character, writes meticulously and trivially, and is immersed in his own narrative rhythm and aesthetic style. Although he has created a group of plump and lively characters, he has not told the story smoothly.
Xu Bing accepted all the responses at the end of "New World" for this kind of market reaction. He said that he knew that the audience was looking forward to a work like the sequel to "Red". "If a play like "Red" is done, he may do it again in the future, but he didn't want to comfort anyone in the beginning of "New World". Finally, Xu Bing said that he understands both the audience and himself. To understand the audience, one must apologize and be grateful for tolerance; to understand oneself is to slow down and think about the shortness of life. Only by facing up can you calm down and replace the old. (Reporter Yang Wenjie)
