In 2008, during the broadcast of "Magic Phone", although the ratings of the show were high, it suffered a lot of infamy. Because its thinking was too advanced, many media at that time scolded the show as a "thunder drama", a "bad drama", etc. Because the show had characters from Journey to the West, the media at that time thought the show was a spoof. "Journey to the West" does not respect the famous novel. The users of Douban at the time also gave the drama a low score of 3.9, which was called a "popular but not applauded" drama by the media. It has become a "magic drama" in the minds of many people.

I think the most important point is that the setting of "Magic Phone" is very novel, in The novel setting did get a lot of bad reviews for this drama back then, but I think the novel setting is an important reason why this drama has become a classic. This drama gathers elements such as science fiction, time travel, mythology, city, artificial intelligence , etc. The approximate plot of this drama is that the Chinese mobile phone silly girl in 2060 accidentally fell into the time tunnel, and fell into the 2006 hero Lu Xiaoqian. hands. Silly girl has two modes: mobile phone and real person. In the era when there were only buttons and flip phones, the mobile phone silly girl had the functions of wireless video calling and scanning to identify people. It is useful in any time and space.

This drama still has the characters in "Journey to the West" at that time, Huangmei King at that time came to the 21st century by mistake, and used magic to do things in the modern human world. In order to defeat the king of yellow eyebrows, the protagonist group decided to invite Monkey King and Zhu Bajie to 2006. Even in the 21st century, Monkey King and Zhu Bajie are still the characters in the original work. The highly capable Sun Wukong indulges in high-rise buildings. The lecherous Zhu Bajie met his beloved girl in 2006, and a love that spans time and space and ends without a problem is derived.

In addition to the novel setting, the group portraits and three views of this show are also very good. The hero Lu Xiaoqian was originally just a petty thief. But with the development of the plot, Lu Xiaoqian's character has undergone a huge transformation, and he has become a hero with a great sense of justice. He understands that with great ability comes great responsibility. Huamei, Xiaowu, Wang Tianba in this drama also completed the transformation of their personalities. At that time, the play had a lot of space to discuss issues such as traffic safety, food safety, combating the proliferation of piracy, corruption in education, and stealing manhole covers. But this drama does not preach to the audience in a serious and serious tone, but exposes these phenomena with light and funny plots to arouse the audience's thinking.

Finally, because of this drama, everyone yearns for the future world. As mentioned earlier, this drama was released in 2008The first broadcast, and in the era when it was still a button machine and a flip machine, the sudden appearance of a super-smart mobile phone like a silly girl did bring people an unprecedented freshness. Although, in 2022, the silly mobile phone has not yet been developed, but I believe that with the continuous development of national science and technology, the silly mobile phone will one day be developed, what do you think of this?
