On the evening of January 25, the TV series "Gou Sheng Run" premiered in two episodes on the Yangba TV Drama Channel. This is an anti-Japanese comedy TV series with actors all speaking with Henan accents. Anti-Japanese, comedy, and Henan flavor, after these three elements are brought together, what is the audience feedback of this "Gou Sheng Run"?
In terms of Kuyun real-time, the ratings of "Gou Sheng Run" can be described as "off the charts". As soon as the first episode aired, the TV series achieved a leap in ratings, from slightly above 1% to over 2%, and directly impacted 2.5%. If there are no accidents, the peak ratings of "Go Sheng Run" will be stable at around 3%. With such results, it’s definitely no problem to say that it’s a ratings hit.
The current audience reputation of the show is not overwhelming! This is very important. In the past, TV dramas with anti-Japanese themes were very easy to gain popularity. If you add the word "comedy" to it, the probability of being thrown off the street increases to nearly 100%. However, this time "Goshen Run" just didn't hit the streets, and the current reputation among the audience is very good. On Douban, the short reviews of the show were all positive.
Why is this happening?
Of course, there are many internal and external reasons. Externally, the audience really needs a comedy TV series at this age. At this level, as long as the quality is not too bad, everyone can accept it. After the ratings of comedies like "Running Dog" took off, it left a lot of inspiration for the industry. The most important revelation is that comedy should be released on all major platforms as soon as possible, and it will definitely become a hit.
The audience needs comedy too much in the new year. This is the external reason for "Gou Sheng Run". The internal reason is that the quality of the plot content in the first broadcast of this TV series is not bad. I estimate that many viewers watched this TV series with the mentality of watching the fun and mocking the anti-Japanese drama. However, after watching it, everyone suddenly realized that hey, this drama is not bad, so you can't ridicule it. I, the editor, belong to this type of audience.
Just say that the Henan flavor in the play is really on point. Henan is a place where both serious dramas and comedies are produced. In Henan, comedy and tragedy coexist. Well-known Henan writer Mr. Liu Zhenyun once said that the core of tragedy is comedy. European philosophers said something else, the core of comedy is tragedy. What Mr. Liu from Henan said is more profound than European philosophers. In "Go Sheng Run", it is well reflected that the core of tragedy is comedy.
Look, ordinary people are captured and sent to the battlefield, where they will die. This is really an individual tragedy in the context of the general situation. However, in this TV series, many absurd and comedic techniques are used to present this. In this incident, a lot of comedy content appeared in the tragedy. It can even be said that this extremely absurd story is a comedy in itself. This taste of Henan should really be watched in conjunction with another movie with a taste of Henan and the background of the Anti-Japanese War - " 1942 ".
As soon as the Henan dialect comes out, it is friendly, with a sense of life and comedy. Is the absurd comedy story "Running Dogs" true? Of course it is untrue and is a fiction made by the screenwriter. However, in the play, the Henan dialect spoken by the characters is real. The reality of this accent directly drives the reality of the plot. The charm of dialects lies here. The use of Shaanxi dialect in "Zhuangtai" is also the icing on the cake.
In addition, the beginning of this TV series is about small people, trivial, and daily life. These all bring the play closer to the audience. At the beginning, a grand opening is actually to dissuade the audience. The play "Gou Sheng Run" uses a trivial narrative method. The child Gou Sheng's eyes widened when he looked at Xing'er. This is the triviality of life, and this triviality is very real! This kid is just the young man around us. The screenwriter and director can use words and lenses to sketch and portrait, it’s a real portrait!
At the same time, this TV series is legendary, and it is legendary in comedy.For example, Gou Sheng, a child who has been studying in the Shaolin Temple for ten years, carries water for other people in the Shaolin Temple without even letting him learn or even peeking at him. Everyone asked him to perform, but in the end, he couldn't do it. When everyone thought that Gou Sheng had missed the mark, he slapped the table and the Eight Immortals Table shattered into pieces. This kid became a legend all of a sudden, and he really hit the mark. Of course it would be interesting for such a legendary character to fight against Japan.
At the same time, every character who appears in the play basically has a sense of comedy, which is also very important. In the scene "Run Out", everyone did not keep a straight face, but used their comedy talents to entertain the audience. For example, Gou Sheng's godfather asked his daughter to lock the door when she went to bed at night. In this section, the actor acted seriously. But the non-serious audience has long been laughing their heads off. This is the screenwriter and director's keen sense for comedy, and it is also the precise handling of powerful actors. The actors didn't laugh, but the audience was overjoyed.
Therefore, it is estimated that "Gou Sheng Run" will become a hit in this period. Qin Hailu couple, really hit the mark. For these two people, add spicy soup. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
