Ruby Lin and Huo Jianhua got married, the popularity of the two in the mainland has steadily declined, not only is not as good as before, resources are not as good as before. Especially Ruby Lin, whether it is film and television dramas or variety shows in mainland China, she has rarely appeared in the past few years.
Not long ago, Ruby Lin posted a promotional photo of the upcoming new drama "The First Light" on social platforms. Judging from the promotional photos, the cast is really a bit disappointing.
Ruby Lin is not surprisingly the lead actor of the whole show, and Yang Jinhua and June are the main actors. It is not difficult to find that, with the exception of Ruby Lin, these actors are not well-known in the mainland and are equivalent to third-tier stars. I believe there won’t be many audiences who know them, let alone watch desire and appeal.
And as far as Ruby Lin is concerned, the "donation" door made her feel badly injured. Although she has shown goodwill to the audience many times, the audience does not pay, and then slowly fades out of people's vision.
Although Ruby Lin and , Zhao Wei, , etc. are popular actors of the same period, the "Han Zhu Ge Ge" played by it was even more popular on both sides of the strait, but it did not have the audience popularity like Zhao Wei, nor did Zhao Wei in film and television drama Influence and appeal. Nowadays, her popularity has fallen sharply, and the spreading of rumors about Zhou Jie and also made some audiences feel disgusted with her. And Ruby Lin, 44 years old this year, looks really older.
So with such a cast, this drama is not optimistic, especially for the mainland market. As for the Taiwan market, it is not known. But even if the show catches fire in Taiwan, what can it do in terms of Taiwan's market capacity? It's impossible to make a big profit, and it's not bad to make a profit. In addition to the cast, the director is not ideal. The director of this play is Lian Yiqi , born in 1977, is considered young in the director team. In contrast, the experience is not very deep. Looking at his resume, no information about the award was revealed. Among the directors who talk about the work, how strong they are, I can only say that they will only know when the new drama is launched.
In addition, the production cost of the new drama is 250 million Taiwan dollars, which is about 60 million yuan. This should be a big cost for Taiwanese film and television productions. But for the wealthy mainland film and television drama market, such production costs are not worth mentioning.
So how many viewers will pay for such a lineup? Regardless of the production team, the actors and the subject matter, it is really difficult to become a hit drama.
It can be said that Ruby Lin, who does not have the support of mainland capital, has been left behind by the entertainment market, whether it is new drama or commercial value.
Today's Taiwanese film and television market has slowly declined from its prosperity in 2000 to today. Although there have been TV dramas with relatively high ratings on Douban like "Want to Meet You" in the past two years, problems such as insufficient funding and brain drain have become more and more serious. How easy is the revival of Taiwanese dramas? Ruby Ruby already represents a relatively high level of film and television production in Taiwan, and new dramas are still so, let alone other film and television dramas? The revival of Taiwanese drama is really difficult.
