Old friends, have you watched the recent fairy tale drama "Shen Yin"? As an experienced film and television viewer, I have just finished watching the first four episodes. All I can say is that this is a drama that is so boring that you can even close your eyes.
This TV series is really frustrating to watch. First of all, there are hardware problems such as script, special effects, props and so on.
Among dramas of the same type, this drama is always at the bottom.
Let me tell you the problem with the script. The model is too old-fashioned. There is a fundamental flaw in popular literature: the fast food attribute of the market.
Except for a few works that have become classics due to their artistic construction and profound connotations, most popular literary works have evolved over time, and the superficial form alone cannot support their thin core.
The tastes of the audience will also change. Such dishes have long been outdated, not to mention that there are endless works of the same type, all of which are the same. Will you still taste them one by one?
Many scripts adapted from IP nowadays are not new. The novel "Shen Yin" was an IP from more than ten years ago, and this IP itself is a fast food, so its appeal has long since disappeared.
There are also costumes, makeup and special effects scenes. These things are very important in Xianxia dramas.
However, "The Hidden God" cuts corners in these aspects. The shooting techniques, scene layout, and special effects presentation are very simple. Today’s fairy tale dramas can’t even hire people to set off fireworks. With dozens of people and ordinary special effects, you can have a battle between gods and demons.
However, after fighting for a long time, even the small forest next to it was not blown down.
To be honest, the destructive power of this kind of battle between gods and demons is not as spectacular as the scale of the conflict in the 5-cent special effects short drama produced online!
There are also various spells, such as flying sand and stones, scattering beans to form soldiers, splashing water to form rain, pouring water from the sea to protect the city, and the transformation of clones, almost all of which are not shown. Apart from releasing waves and bombarding, the spells are not even used in daily life.
The imagination of spells is indeed a bit boring.
Even the novels about gods and demons from hundreds of years ago are not so unimaginative.
And the most fatal thing is that many viewers can also see that the protagonist is too facialized.
What the directors are best at is love idol dramas. No matter what type of drama they are, they turn it into love idol dramas. It's like they specialize in filming this kind of drama.
Forget it, but the portrayal of the male protagonist in "Shen Yin" is really bad. As soon as the male protagonist Wang Anyu appeared, he completely tore off the "fig leaf" of top domestic entertainment.
The main reason is that this appearance really doesn’t look like the protagonist of a fairy tale drama. The actor’s appearance is an important factor in attracting audiences in costume dramas.
In modern dramas, Wang Anyu's sense of atmosphere is indeed very handsome, but in this costume drama, his appearance was indeed criticized by some viewers.
Especially after the male protagonist wore a hair condom in the play, his image really became unacceptable.
Moreover, the costume of the male lead is also hard to look directly at. His image in other dramas obviously looks very pleasing to the eye, but the makeup in this drama is really disappointing, and the handsome guy is ruined.
Wang Anyu's perfunctory makeup only amplified the problem of long face. Coupled with the lack of plastic surgery-like acting skills, it really looks average.
Is the threshold for fairy tale dramas so low now? The author really misses the Four Beauties of the End of the World.
Secondly, the male protagonist's IQ makes people feel too brainless. He is always manipulated by the second female lead and is willing to be a licking dog. It is really heartbreaking.
Although it is expected that the male protagonist will expose the true face of the second female lead later, fall in love with the heroine, and constantly pursue her scenes, but such a setting of misunderstanding for the sake of misunderstanding is really unpopular.
This drama is like a product on an assembly line, with nothing new.
The routines of fairy tale dramas are also common: exquisite costumes, passable special effects, handsome actors and beautiful actresses, constant love and hate, alternation between sweetness and sadism, and some dynamic music and great shots.
I have to say that this "Shen Yin" has really torn the "fig leaf" of domestic entertainment fairy tale dramas to pieces.
The director and screenwriter are tool people, and the protagonist and supporting actors are tool people. Whether the show can become popular depends on whether the remaining lively audiences and crazy marketing funds can keep up.
The poor reputation of "Shen Yin" is also caused by the limited budget and the exposure of the male protagonist's appearance. The performance in these aspects did not meet the expectations of the audience, so it was naturally unpopular.
Overall, this drama has no ups and downs, and the plot is bland. It is only suitable for watching clips while watching videos. The most interesting thing is the comments below. I’m really curious about how netizens praise and criticize me.
