was endorsed by CCTV in its prime status, but its ratings were overtaken by Mango's " Bottom Line ". The network data has always been outside the hits, and even some small online dramas have not been PKed. This is what the TV series " Big Exam " faces. status quo.
Before the broadcast of the show, many voices took him as a benchmark for "The World" released on CCTV at the beginning of the year, thinking that the national drama will produce another solid drama of solid quality, and continue the charm of the real drama theme.
, but after the feature film was launched, it was embarrassed by both ratings and webcasts. It did not have the influence of "The World", nor did it have the appearance of a prime hit drama. The results are really embarrassing.
Is the quality of the work a hindrance? Not also.
Audiences who have watched "The Big Exam" may have reasons to abandon the show, but they should rarely point out the quality of the content. This work is quite remarkable from the actors to the script and content production.
The realness of the drama should have, it did. The story of
is based on the college entrance examination in a special environment in 2020. It tells the story of the high school seniors facing sudden tests, overcoming difficulties together with all sectors of the society, and completing a meaningful "examination" in life. The narrative line of
starts from the daily life of students, parents and teachers, and the style is very life-like.
High school seniors get up early to write questions before dawn, and rush to class while eating breakfast. I believe many viewers have experienced it. At that time, life was full of urgency every day, and there were fireworks everywhere.
Xueba carefully planned the efficiency of quizzing, and the scumbags thought about how to compete with teachers and parents. Tian Wenwen ( Li Gengxi ), a left-behind girl who lives alone, has two more daily routines: longing and fear.
misses their parents who are working hard in the distance, and is afraid of the safety problems that a person may face in life. Teenagers grew up in different family environments, each with their own troubles, but they all converge on the road of the college entrance examination.
Chen Baoguo and Wang Qianyuan play two principals with different teaching philosophies, one insists on "the theory of fractions", strictly enforces discipline, and fights quizzes. This style should be familiar to audiences born in the 8090s.
The older Principal Shi (played by Chen Baoguo) pursues the all-round development of students, does not follow the tactics of the sea of questions, and specializes in fine question-making strategies. He is a bit like the strict but kind teacher in our student days, which makes people feel friendly.
The two principals have different ideas, but both share a similar sense of responsibility for teaching and educating people.
Principal Wang is hot on the outside and hot on the inside. His educational philosophy seems a bit outdated, but he really loves the education industry and thinks about the future of students.
Even, Principal Wang devoted almost all his energy to education, which led to neglect of his daughter's growth, which made his father-in-law, Principal Shi, brooding. Almost every character in the
drama can find a prototype in our life, and almost every scene is a microcosm of a corner of life. In terms of story landing, "The Big Test" is not inferior to "The World" and other serious dramas, which are very infectious. The proposition under the special background of
, the story is also closely linked. The main line of
"Big Exam" is the college entrance examination in 2020, so it is inevitable to excavate moving stories from the background of that year. The screenwriter takes the college entrance examination as the core and spreads the story to every corner of the society.
banned by the whole people? How to ensure the pace of students' college entrance examination?
is in a corner that the public can't see, and many people are working hard. The principal and teachers repeatedly test online teaching, and strive to solve problems such as Internet access, signal, live broadcast effect, and student information exchange.
seems to be a simple thing, but in practice it is often in a variety of situations. In the online class alone, many classrooms have first lost to the problem of network congestion, and they continue to solve the problem. class.
What are the parents of the students doing after work and classes are suspended? Every one of
is dedicated to fighting highStudents who take the test have a family behind them that silently supports them. Some parents' support is invisible and loose, while some parents' support is sharp and strictly controlled.
The parents of Tian Wenwen, a left-behind girl, seem to owe her daughter a lot, and there is no way to accompany her or go home in time to celebrate the New Year with her daughter, but this family is the most common family of ordinary migrant workers in 2020.
There is a very heart-wrenching section in the play. Father Tian decided to return to Wuhan, where the risk was high at the time, because he had to wait for the car to be repaired. Pay back.
may face the risk of infection on the return trip, but if he does not return, the goods will be backlogged and the payment will not be recovered. Next, he and his family will face the reality that they have no money to repay their debts and the house is auctioned. These pressures are invisible but deadly.
No one doesn't want to take a safe road, but life is destined to make a retrograde choice. The most beautiful retrograde person is fighting for the people. Tian father, who is returning, is fighting for his family. This is life. Stand up.
Wu Jiajun, who came from a working family, has a relatively more stable life than Tian Wenwen. His parents don't have to make difficult choices for financial pressure, but they are also prepared for the very important college entrance examination in their children's life.
Mother Wu resolutely chose to resign between work and taking care of her children. She is a very common chicken mother in family dramas. Her educational philosophy runs counter to her child's, but she is also dedicated to fighting for her child's future.
Whether Father Tian or Mother Wu, like other parents, they are all going through life tests with their children. The title of
"Big Exam" is not only aimed at the students of the college entrance examination, but also the parents, teachers, and all those who have experienced the challenges of life.
This memory is not so easy, "Big Exam" retains seriousness, and is also trying to be lively.
may have considered that the subject matter is relatively heavy, and the screenwriter tried his best to reconcile the dramatic treatment, using a lot of witty and lovely expression techniques and plot designs. The mutual confrontation between the two principals is a typical example.
However, the most subtle stroke of "The Big Exam" should be the "Da Xiao" that made Hu Xianxu film the drama of the drama.
He plays the Xueba Zhou Bowen and Wang Xiao plays Zhou's father. Every day, he plays the "Xueba's son" fancy plate "injustice father" drama, breaking his father's network and selling his father's game account. is normal operation.
Zhou's father, who was so angry that his whole body was smoking but was a little cowardly, always said the most cowardly words in the strongest tone. Just as he was about to beat his "too filial" son with his front foot, he was frightened by his son's cold face with his back foot. Retreat, take the initiative to run errands and ask for forgiveness.
Objectively speaking, this father is actually very bad. He is addicted to games every day without doing his job, and all the burdens of the family are on his wife alone. Whether Zhou Bowen or the audience, it is difficult to recognize the behavior of the characters.
Others are widowed parenting. He is a "widow" in all aspects of family life. The contradictory background presented is actually very depressing, but the dramatization of the screenwriter gives the audience a chance to breathe and adjusts the experience of chasing dramas.
audiences can have fun in "Laughter" and "Big Filial Piety", and they can also think about the plot after the joy. The perfect combination of serious core and lively appearance adds a variety of bright colors to "Big Exam".
As a whole, "The Big Test" as a realistic drama definitely passed the test. There is no major quality problem. From the perspective of production roles, there are advantages everywhere, but why does such a drama fail? The key reason
is that it came out at the wrong time.
For the public, the three years since 2020 are very long. It is so long that we are constantly circulating, and it is also very short. It is so short that our life seems to be missing for three years. Everyone's experience at this stage is not good.
We once fought against it because of our unity, blood and tears coexisted, if the "big test"Coming out close to the timeline of the development of the story, it will step on a good time for the whole people to empathize with , and create a moving incentive. The success of the
movie " Chinese Doctor " is a typical proof. The early stage TV dramas " Together " and "The Most Beautiful Retrograde" based on this background have won a lot of applause.
However, when a large number of film and television works recall this story, the audience will more or less have a little aesthetic fatigue. What's worse, many audiences in real life gradually lose the patience to recall because of "repetition".
Compared with putting the reality we are experiencing or just experiencing on the screen, everyone hopes to find a more relaxed emotional outlet in film and television works to release the pressure in life, instead of repeating emotional memory again.
In this case, a subject like "The Big Exam" has actually missed the best time for empathy. Instead, the producers of
might as well wait for this stage to pass completely. After the public has gone through difficult times, when the special struggle memory has become history, it will be put on the screen. Perhaps, it can also become a sentimental memory.
came out during the weak period of the subject matter, no matter how good the quality is, it is difficult to find a suitable breakthrough. The failure of "Big Exam" is not because of the poor quality of the work, but because the audience's demand is low, and it is impossible to mention the interest in chasing dramas.
Perhaps the failure of the "big test" this time is also a "big test" for the audience to the film and television industry. The subject matter needs to be expanded a bit. Don't stare at a welfare subject because of the early success.
The audience will be aesthetically fatigued, and the market will also be tired. Good works should constantly seek breakthroughs, and good teams should continue to innovate. The "big test" is the integration of resources, and the "big test" also needs to use resources on the cutting edge.
