Yang Zi, Fan Chengcheng starred in "Long Time Love" after it was broadcast, there was a lot of controversy, and after the show was broadcast, the popularity was not as high as expected. Many netizens even Why did Yang Zi, who joked that she was a "prosperous" male lead, not be successful this time when it came to Fan Chengcheng?
Among the ancient puppet dramas, Yang Zi's " Sweet as Ashes as Frost ", "Agarwood as Crumbs", "Sauvignon Blanc" and other dramas are very popular. Many male actors have also become more popular because of their cooperation with Yang Zi. .
Among the puppet dramas, a typical one is "Dear, Beloved ", a collaboration between Yang Zi and Li Xian. After this drama, Li Xian's popularity soared, and Yang Zi's "Please give me your advice for the rest of my life" "My Mowgli Boy" and other current puppet dramas have also achieved great popularity.
It can be said that Yang Zi’s idol dramas are basically one hit and the other popular. However, after the broadcast of "Long Time Love", the ratings were not satisfactory and the popularity was not high. Yang Zi was originally the one who carried the drama. However, this contemporary puppet drama "Long Time Love" did not resonate with the audience.
Since Yang Zi's debut, whether it is a modern puppet show or an ancient puppet show, the audience's love is very high. However, "Long Time Love" did not cause much splash. The reason is not difficult to understand.
First of all, let’s talk about the drama "Long Time Love" itself. The drama tells the story of six childhood friends, their love stories from childhood to adulthood, from ignorance when they were young to having love when they grow up. Worryingly, after growing up, Huang Yingzi, Jiang Yi and other six children gradually drifted apart. Many years later, because of Guan Chao's wedding, Huang Yingzi had the idea to bring everyone together.
The plot of "Long Time Love" is mainly based on the story of Huang Yingzi, Jiang Yi and others when they were around 30 years old. When they meet again after many years, their relationship recovers, mixed with the story of their 18 years old, and they are constantly changing. In reminiscing, the audience will have a deeper understanding of their story.
However, many viewers said that the story of "Long Time for Love" interspersed too frequently with stories from 18 years ago and 18 years later, which actually made the whole plot less coherent. In addition, as an idol drama, "Long Time for Love" The story in "Love" is too ordinary, with little ups and downs. In terms of sugar, it is not sweet enough. This is also a fatal flaw of this drama.
There is no problem with Yang Zi's acting skills, and there is no doubt that Fan Chengcheng's youthfulness is good. However, Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng's partnership in "Long Time Love" did not resonate with the audience. This is directly related to the rhythm, plot, and sweetness of the play. Relationship.
In addition, the age span of the male and female protagonists in "Long Time Love" is relatively large. In the drama, Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng have many scenes where they play 18-year-olds. Although Yang Zi's acting skills are good, there are many situations where a 32-year-old plays an 18-year-old high school student. The audience still felt a little uncomfortable.
In addition to the drama itself, in recent years, the audience's requirements for idol dramas have also become higher and higher. In addition to the sugar-filled plots, there are also requirements for the fit between the actors and the characters, and the actors' requirements for acting skills. Male, The heroine’s CP sense and other aspects have set new standards.
Not only that, the living conditions for young actors today in the film and television industry are not like in previous years. As long as they have an idol face, everything will be fine. If they want to go further and longer in the film and television industry, they still have to rely on acting skills. Talking, therefore, the young actors are also more relaxed.
Like Yang Zi, although she has been able to handle the ratings, it is too difficult for a drama to become popular with just one or two actors. After all, an actor's fan base is limited, and they want to drive more It is really difficult to achieve a large audience.
After the broadcast of "Long Time Love", it did not have the high popularity it expected. In fact, it is not that Yang Zi's ability to carry the drama has weakened. The plot of this drama did not impress the audience, and the production ideas did not keep up with the aesthetics of modern audiences. , this is the most important thing.
Although "Long Time Love" did not become a hit, it is precisely because of the presence of Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng that the show is not a blockbuster. It is quite enjoyable to watch it as a sweet drama, but, don't Put it on the list of hit dramas, just have high expectations!
