recently had a series without publicity, no traffic, no big production, but after it was broadcast, it became No. 1 on the whole network.
Seeing him after 60 and 70, Ma Liuer learned how to cast a screen that was “impossible” before. Although
80, 90, 00 are embarrassed to admit that they are chasing such an unpretentious local drama, as long as the theme song is played in the drama, it will unconsciously continue.
is right, this is ---"Liu Laogen 3".
As a rural light comedy, "Liu Laogen 3" has received so much attention, in addition to the feelings of the older generation and the easy decompression plot, it is mainly because of two individuals- Liu Laogen ( Zhao Benshan ) and medicine Box ( Fan Wei ).
In 2002, Benshan Media’s pioneering work "Liu Laogen" was broadcast on CCTV, setting an average rating of 9.7%, ranking second in the national TV series rankings that year (the first is "The Granary").
In 2003, as the second part of "Liu Laogen" continued to become popular, the upright, kind, and slightly twisted Liu Laogen and the hypocritical, cunning, and occasionally kind medicine box became the two indispensable business cards of the "Liu Laogen" series.
Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei are the golden CP. With the popularity of "Liu Laogen", they have changed from the most popular sketch combination to 's most tacit movie partner .
In 2004, the light comedy "Ma Dashuai" co-produced by the two of them made " the first ruthless man in Liaobei " Fan Debiao and Ma Dashuai once again become household names.
From the medicine box to Fan Debiao, Fan Wei, who walked out of the sketch stage, was already perfect in acting.
Just when everything is getting better, unfortunately, it happened unexpectedly.
In 2005, teacher Gao Xiumin passed away due to illness.
Losing his best friend and partner, Uncle Benshan's mood at that time was probably the same as Liu Laogen's loss of Aunt Dingxiang.
is missing the soul protagonist Ding Xiang, and the filming of "Liu Laogen 3" has been suspended.
In 2006, China's longest-lived TV series --- "Country Love" went online .
Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei continue to cooperate, playing the roles of the local tyrants and sons Wang Dana and Wang Musheng . Senior audiences of
know that in the two years before "Ivory Mountain F4" became popular, the flamboyant Wang Dana and the vain Wang Musheng were the highlights of "Hometown Love".
but the good times are not long.
In 2008, Fan Wei was absent from "Country Love" amidst disturbing rumors. The years of cooperation between the two of
have come to an end.
After more than ten years, with the " Ivory Mountain F4" slowly rising, "No "Hometown Love" is not a year" has become a catchphrase that many viewers talk about.
At the same time, the accomplished Uncle Benshan has gradually retreated behind the scenes. In recent years, there have been rumors surrounding him "encountering a trough in life".
And, Mr. Fan Wei, who moved to the big screen, got all kinds of awards soft.
are two people who are drifting away from each other. They suddenly exploded and want to reunite again in the long-lost "Liu Laogen 3". How can the news of such a lifetime series not make a group of senior CP fans excited?
After talking about the background, I will return to "Liu Laogen 3". Since the broadcast of
on February 10, with the support of a group of veteran fans, the ratings of "Liu Laogen 3" have been maintained, but the reputation is a bit unsatisfactory. The
Douban score is also significantly lower than the previous two.
traced the roots and found the following three reasons ---
is the plot first.
The first and second parts of "Liu Laogen" are about the retired village party secretary Liu Laogen's use of his waste, The story of leading the villagers to overcome all difficulties and work hard to start a business.
According to the law of development, the main line of "Liu Laogen 3" should be to keep the industry.
As the saying goes, starting a business is more difficult than keeping a job.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the plot, it was explained that the Longquan Villa, run by Dakui (Liu Laogen’s son), under the pressure of internal and external troubles (competition outside and moths inside), funding problems began to appear.
At first, Dakui wanted to deceive his father by making false accounts, but as the situation became more and more severe, Dakui's tricks seemed to be irresistible. The next plot of
is to go round and round, and after Da Kui has almost brought disaster to the villa, the old and strong Liu Laogen will come out again to turn the tide and save Longquan Villa.
Recall that in the second part of "Liu Laogen", Longquan Mountain Villa and Fengwu Mountain Villa competed and deceived each other, which is the best model of rural commercial film. From
to "Liu Laogen 3", as seen above, the framework of the commercial war movie is set up, but the screenwriter just doesn't let it play well.
In the crumbling operating crisis of Longquan Villa, the plot consistently spent a lot of time on the other two branches.
For example: Liu Laogen, who couldn't be free after retirement, and a group of old men and old ladies formed a folk art troupe, and performed charity performances everywhere.
is more than that.
After the low-eyed son pill in the medicine box came, the lonely Liu Laogen quickly became a new year friend with the idle pill. All day long, he drank and chatted together to catch fish. What will be useful in the follow-up).
Another example is the triangular relationship between the older leftover female Shan Xing (Liu Laogen's daughter) and Erzhuzi and her daughter-in-law ( 大胖), which has stretched for more than ten years. This time it is still in "Liu Laogen 3" carry on.
plus some old stalks that are not funny, leading to the highly anticipated "Liu Laogen 3", which makes people confused.
said it is a light comedy, right? It also puts up a commercial drama shelf decently.
said it is a commercial war drama, right? Several important members at the core of the battlefield seem to have insufficient IQs.
followed by .
In addition to a group of "old people" such as Liu Laogen, Big Pepper, Mountain Apricot, and Yao Xiazi.
After more than ten years, "Liu Laogen 3" has added many new faces.
just give two examples.
Yaoxizi’s son, Yaowanzi , has been doing nothing after graduating from high school for a few years, and he spends his time on various live broadcast platforms. In order to satisfy vanity, the medicine balls have been used in the live broadcast room to eliminate what his mother (大 chilli ) saved for many years. More than 200,000 deposits. After
, unaware of repentance, he urged his mother to bring him to Longquan Mountain Villa, and arrogantly asked Liu Laogen to arrange for him an executive job with less money and more money. With
ruining the three-minded personality, isn't the screenwriter afraid to mislead young audiences?
and: Longquan Villa's executive Han Shixin .
Han Shixin is the nephew of Liu Laogen’s partner Han Bing and the boyfriend of Dakui’s daughter Shanshan .
Relying on the relationship between his aunt and the experience of a prestigious school, Han Shixin brought capital (aunt's shares) to Longquan Villa as the general manager soon after graduation.
At the beginning, when Han Shixin was chatting with his girlfriend Shanshan, he expressed sincerely that he wanted to work hard and create a future by his own ability. Who knows that as soon as
turned his head, the aftermath of anger and enthusiasm had not yet subsided. Unable to withstand the instigation, Han Shixin persuaded his girlfriend Shanshan to embezzle public funds without telling her father to help him speculate.
PS: With the advancement of the plot, Han Shixin has completely become a two-sided villain. The character setting of
inverted, not only makes the plot unable to withstand scrutiny, but also sets a negative example for the audience (norI know what the screenwriter thinks). There are many examples of
about the contradiction of person settings, so I won't list them all here.
finally is the highlight of this play --- actor .
As everyone knows, "Liu Laogen" will definitely not work without Zhao Benshan.
However, it turns out that with Zhao Benshan and without Fan Wei, "Liu Laogen 3" still won't work.
still remembers that the main gimmick of "Liu Laogen 3" has always been Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei's reunion after many years.
also included the trailer. Fan Wei, who had been reunited after a long time, choked up and said to Zhao Benshan: , "Isn’t you just a word when you come back?" , the pun response made me burst into tears in an instant, breaking the two for many years The rumors of splitting and combining have strengthened the determination of countless senior CP fans to follow the drama.
However, in a blink of an eye, the plot of "Liu Laogen 3" has passed one-third, and the medicine box that made the audience eager to see is still far away in Thailand.
The impatient viewers started to check the Internet, only to find that in the introduction of "Liu Laogen 3", Fan Wei's name was added with the words " special in ". The so-called special appearance of
is a guest appearance (everyone knows). The discovery of
made a group of viewers who are targeting CP fans respond. They dare to keep chasing the drama for so long. In the end, maybe what is waiting is just the reunion of the two in the trailer?
Then why don't I watch the trailer directly?
experience tells us that a series that has been highly recognized by the market and audiences, if the follow-up cannot improve and innovate on the basis of maintaining the quality of the previous work, but instead blindly rely on the feelings of taking shortcuts, the audience’s patience is also very high. It will be exhausted soon.
The remaining enthusiasm of the audience for "Liu Laogen 3" is afraid that it will be rekindled until the return of the medicine box.
