On October 23, the TV series "Dark Phoenix" can be premiered in 6 episodes on the genuine video platform. This TV series is written by Guan Renshan and directed by Zhang Zien . Zhang Zien has directed many popular dramas such as " Prime Minister Liu Luoguo ", " Jinghua Yanyun ", "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and so on. This time, "Dark Phoenix" is a TV series premiered by some terrestrial channels in 2015. After the first broadcast of the show, it did not get the chance to be starred. The launch of
's genuine video platform this time can only be regarded as an opportunity to launch a genuine video platform after the "Dark Phoenix" terrestrial channel was broadcast and entered a state of backlog of inventory. Some genuine video platforms are keen to find some TV dramas with backlogged stocks, purchase them at relatively low copyright fees, and realize broadcast. "Dark Phoenix" finally met the audience in this way, which is a little regrettable. On the other hand, it is finally able to meet the national audience. The
TV series "Black Phoenix" tells the story of the Kailuan Coal Mine in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This is a relatively large narrative body. The signed screenwriter of the play is Guan Renshan. Lao Guan is the chairman of Hebei Writers Association, and he is also called the troika of Hebei literature along with He Shen and Tan Ge. I have read less of Guan Renshan's novels. I have only read his recent "Mai River" - the overall feeling is that the level is average, not deep enough in life, only taking phenomena, ignoring the more profound fireworks, And the narrative is bloated and procrastinated, not like a mature novel.
This "Dark Phoenix" is a TV drama about Kailuan Coal Mine. The narrative intention should be to show how the business owners of Kailuan Coal Mine in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China survived, and then show the difficulties of Chinese national enterprises. The main body of the narrative is very large, but the effect of the realization is not good. The fundamental problem of the play is that, for the sake of the story, at the expense of the rationality of a lot of the story, by rejecting the rationality of the characters' behavioral motives and reducing the level of the characters' intelligence, the imprecision of the story itself is used to cover up the shame.
In other words, this TV series has the more common problem of Chinese TV series ten years ago, that is, after lowering the character's IQ, it seeks to see the point, but the story is unreasonable. The TV dramas created by this narrative method lack the heaviness of the subject matter itself, and can only be reduced to a commercial drama that is a story for a story. "Dark Phoenix" is written by Mr. Guan Renshan, which is not surprising, but it is completely regrettable.
for an example. For example, the male protagonist's father and another businessman are walking on the street. Both of them are relatively well-known businessmen in the Kailuan area. The other was killed in the alley. Then, the male protagonist's father was arrested by the government, regarded as a suspect, and put in jail. And the villains can easily take the hero's father away from the prison, and lynch and torture the hero's father. Then, the male protagonist's father died inexplicably and was suspected of being poisoned. A life lawsuit like
has been anti-intelligence from the very beginning, and has been anti-intelligence until the hero's father died inexplicably. In the whole case, as long as there is a person who is sober, or the IQ is online, there will be no such thing. Especially the villain, if you want to kill the male protagonist's father, you can just kill people in the alley, why bother to come up with such a circle drama. This is a typical way of lowering the IQ of all characters and seeking storytelling, but in the end the narrative logic cannot be justified.
Another example is that the coal carrier of the hero's house was set on fire by the foreigners. As a result, the foreigner turned his face directly, and a group of people began to fight with the male protagonist. If only from the point of view of the point of view, this group mode seems to be very good-looking. If there is a disagreement, the fight will start, and the audience can watch it lively. However, from the point of view of character IQ, if you know that foreigners and yourself will not deal with it, and you have the heart to kill, why should you run over and ask for an explanation? Is it just to prove that the hero is a lone hero?
's similar plots and plots with insufficient narrative IQ are all pitched in "Dark Phoenix". Teacher Guan Renshan's writing style in the play lacks basic maturity. The more restrictive place is that in the play, there is a lack of basic sense of heaviness, and "Dark Phoenix" as a whole gives people a sense of impetuousness of story-for-story and conflict-for-conflict. Historical themes like Kailuan Coal Mine, it is not appropriate to create in such a playful way, but should pursue the sense of authenticity, logic and art of the historical culture itself.
The heavy feeling of the narrative culture of TV dramas needs to pay attention to the authenticity of history and the authenticity of the cultural temperament of the characters. Whether it is the content of the story itself, or the presentation of the value of the characters themselves, it is a relative failure in "Dark Phoenix". This kind of failure inevitably reminds the old editor of Teacher Guan Renshan's "Mai River". Guan Lao's works like to play with a very big concept, but the final realization level is very low, and most of them are powerless. In
's "Dark Phoenix", many well-known actors such as Liang Tian, , Wang Quanyou, and Li Jingjing all played relatively important roles. In the play, you can see a lot of familiar faces. Based on this, "Dark Phoenix" gives people a tasteless feeling, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. (Text / Ma Qingyun)
