On the evening of July 17, "The Imperfect Victim" launched on multiple platforms. This drama is directed by Yang Yang, the director of "Menghualu", and Zhou Xun, Liu Yijun, Lin Yun, Zhong Chuxi, Chen Shu and other big-name actors form a luxurious starring lineup. No matter which platform it is put on, it is an S+-level drama.
However, the results and performance after going online are surprising. After the broadcast, it was basically silent, and there were not many hot searches.
In all fairness, "The Imperfect Victim" is very good to watch. I basically finished 4 episodes in one go. The plot is not filled with water, the rhythm is fast, and the story line is clear and smooth. Cheng Cheng, played by Liu Yijun, is the boss of a listed company, and Zhao Xun, played by Lin Yun, is his secretary. After a night of dinner, Zhao Xun was successfully brought back to the residence on the top floor of the company, and they had sex. As a result, someone called the police that night, accusing him of rape, and Lin Kan, played by Zhou Xun, was Liu Yijun's defense lawyer.
The first four episodes are over. Zhao Xun, who did not accuse successful rape, seems to have a new idea. Judging from the plot introduction, Zhao Xun should accuse successful rape again in the follow-up, and there will be many twists and turns. The performances of Liu Yijun and Zhou Xun in the play are remarkable. Lin Yun's overall performance is also good. Chen Shu plays the successful wife Xin Lu. The image, temperament and role in the play are very suitable, beautiful and sassy.
Moreover, this is not the first word-of-mouth drama that hit the street recently. "The Lost Eleventh Floor", which has been on the air for 10 days, starring Pan Yueming, Chen Shu, Guo Jinglin, Wan Peng, are also powerful actors, and it has been broadcast for so many days without even a little splash;
The lineup of "Happy Face" is not strong, but against the sky. Starring in this S+ drama, although it was aired two days earlier, the popularity is still behind "Imperfect Victim".
The three mentioned above are all high-quality dramas that require a plot with a plot, acting with acting skills, and quality, but they are still the last one.
Assuming that only any one of them is broadcast in the same period, it will not be so ugly to lose. In the final analysis, it is because there are too many dramas launched in the same period.
Judging from the popularity ranking of the platform on July 17, "The Eleventh Floor" and "Happy Face" ranked seventh and eighth, and "Imperfect Victim", which was broadcast on the first day, unexpectedly ranked 13th, not even making it into the top ten.
and the top ones are "Yu Gu Yao", "Zeng Juvenile", "An Le Biography", "Days of Chasing Light", "My Fireworks in the World", and "Chang Feng Du". Those who rank in the top three will always dominate the top three after the basic broadcast. Results like
reflect self-evident answers. People with acting skills, even Zhou Xun and Pan Yueming, don't have much traffic and can't afford to be popular. Their limelight was taken away by Xiao Zhan, Di Lieba, Guan Xiaotong, Wei Daxun and other small fresh meat and traffic stars. It is true that powerful actors have acting skills that are trustworthy, and their works are often of guaranteed quality, but so what? It's just that it's hard to get out of the circle, and there's not much popularity.
The value of an actor has to be divided into two. From the perspective of artistic value, the powerful stars are naturally higher, which is beyond doubt; but from the perspective of market value, the popularity and response of the broadcast have ripped off the fig leaf of the powerful actors. So what if you perform well? No traffic, no popularity, who is the show for? I have thought about the phenomenon of
for a long time, and I came to the conclusion that I am getting older and have different tastes from young people, but the mainstream audience of TV dramas, especially the mainstream audience of web dramas, are young people! They grew up in a two-dimensional environment and read online articles, which determine their taste and taste. They like to see the handsome and beautiful faces of traffic stars, and the more serious the filter and skin polishing, the more they like it. Chasing scripts is Tu Yile, can you say they are wrong?
On another level, if this situation continues, bad money will inevitably drive out good money.TV dramas are artistic creations. I believe that rational audiences will feel that works such as "Imperfect Victim" and "Happy Face" are far more in-depth and of higher quality than "Yu Gu Yao" and "An Le Biography". The producers and the sponsors of the advertisements also understand it.
However, TV dramas are also commodities. Idol dramas, romantic dramas, and puppet dramas are watched by more people and are more popular (young people will scan data, stir up popularity, and control reviews). Slowly stop chasing dramas. The people who watch TV dramas are young people of this generation and the following ones. It is very likely that there will be puppet, sweet pet, and fairy tale dramas starring traffic stars. By then, the criteria for judging the quality of TV dramas may have changed. Is this the industry and the sorrow of young people?
