"Four of Swords" vs. "Pray for the Present"

The most exciting thing this week is the two versions of Sword and Sword Duel. They are also young actresses + handsome popular actors. The production investment has reached the S+ level of more than 100 million yuan, and they are all at the same time. When the show starts, who can win?

Let’s talk about "Four of Swords" first, starring Ju Jingyi and Chen Zheyuan. It tells the story of Han Lingsha, Yun Tianhe, Murong Ziying and Liu Mengli who experienced adventures and trials on the way to protect the common people, gained friendship and growth, and gained friendship and growth. The story of a passionate fairy who finally works together to avert disaster and change fate.

According to the feedback from game fans, from a game perspective, "Sword and Sword IV" is relatively fun and has a good plot. Therefore, before the broadcast, many people had expectations for this version of the series.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the show started airing, the two protagonists became a hot topic because of their role. Ju Jingyi first released a statement, saying that it was agreed that Ju Jingyi would be an Iban and have a single subtitle. Chen Zheyuan's side also issued a statement shortly afterwards, saying that what was written in the contract was: the order of male and female characters' signatures will alternate first, and it was noted that the character signatures will be signed "in no particular order." In other words, he was denying what Ju Jingyi said.The producer of

has not responded yet, but according to the analysis of netizens, Ju Jingyi's statement said "agreement", while Chen Zheyuan used "contract". It is certain that the contents of the contracts obtained by the two parties are different. But Ju Jingyifang's request may not have been actually written into the contract.

In the two Weibo posts on the day "Four of Sword and Sword" was aired, Ju Jingyi and Chen Zheyuan alternated in the front, and the rankings were noted in no particular order.

From the official Weibo of "Four of Sword and Fairy", on the day of the broadcast, the interval was only five minutes, and the official Weibo posted Two Weibo posts were launched. The first Weibo post had Ju Jingyi’s name first, and the second day’s Weibo post had Chen Zheyuan’s first name. However, both posts indicated that the rankings were in no particular order. In other words, the current practice is basically based on the general contract content provided by Chen Zheyuan.

The problem of competing for spots is common in domestic entertainment, and it has been around for a long time. This problem has happened to everyone from powerful groups to idol groups. On the one hand, we can understand the difficulty of the celebrity team. After all, in the current era of serious internal involvement, Ichiban is not only an explanation to the fans, but also a bargaining chip for future contracts in the market in film, television, fashion, advertising, etc. The battle for ranking is no longer just The wishes of the star himself, the capital behind the star, and the income of the studio are all factors behind this phenomenon. In addition, the functions of the star team are very detailed, and there are dedicated people to handle such matters. But on the other hand, judging from the appearance of various supporting actors this year, acting is actually the hard power. Whether it is a good work or a good role, the battle for ranking always only works at the fan level. For ordinary audiences and the market, ability is Recognition is a long-term solution, and it is also what young people who are motivated to be good actors should pursue.

Many netizens complained about the special effects and makeup in "Four of Sword"

Speaking of "Four of Sword" itself, its current reputation is average. Game fans do not approve of the performance of the lead actor, the special effects are also very sloppy, and the childish style of painting does not escape the ancient puppets. The category of Xianxia. Currently, it has a popularity of 7500 on the iQiyi site.

Stills of "Pray for Today"

Let's talk about "Pray for Today". It mainly tells the story of Yue Jinchao and Yue Qi joining forces with their comrades to defeat the conspiracy one by one and embark on a journey of heroism and righteousness. Before the broadcast, game fans had objections to the plot of Sword and Sword Six, and not many people were optimistic about it. In addition, Yu Shuxin was frequently searched for the "clip sound" issue, which aggravated many people's prejudices against the show.

But what is interesting is that the reputation after the launch is actually better than that of "Sword and Sword IV". Most of the feedback is that the team respects the plot of the game itself and does not follow the magic modification route. Although Yu Shuxin still has voice problems, the pace of the series is very fast. A small team has been assembled in one episode. The acting skills of several supporting characters are also good, which makes the overall look good. Putting aside the focus on the heroine's voice, the plot There aren't many flaws, and it's quite passable as a dinner drama. Currently, the popularity on Tencent Video Station exceeds 22,000.

"The 19th Floor"

The winter vacation is coming, in addition to ancient puppets and immortal heroes, science fiction suspense and thriller themes are also quietly broadcast. The play, starring Sun Qian and Wei Zheming, is adapted from Cai Jun's novel "The 19th Floor of Hell". It tells the story of college student Chun Yu and others who are involved in a game called "The 19th Floor" that they cannot escape.

Stills of "The 19th Floor"

The two leading actors are both young actors with potential. The plot is a niche drama. If it is filmed well, it can become a word-of-mouth drama with a small reputation, but currently the feedback seems to be average. Although it is attractive to put on the popular unlimited streaming shell, and it is somewhat close to the concept of some thriller dramas in Korean dramas in the past two years, but it is a low-end version in every aspect. It seems to be more interesting to watch variety shows such as "Escape Room".
