At the beginning of 2024, bad dramas will gather together for meetings.
Although Yang Zi is a popular star in "Long Time Love", her acting skills are top-notch, her condition is off, her face is swollen and she looks like she is almost 40, and she has to play a high school girl under 18 years old in the drama.
The plot is also very jumpy. As soon as the ongoing story line is over, it suddenly flashes back to the high school period and talks about the daily life of students. It feels like it was filmed for children.
"Four of Sword and Fairy" and "Pray for the Present" compete on the same stage. Both works are adapted from the IP "Legend of Sword and Fairy". At present, it seems that the two dramas are indistinguishable. In addition to proving that Hu Ge's version is still It has no effect other than classics.
is especially a series that will piss off game fans because of its random adaptation and disrespectful casting.
and "If Running Is My Life", the other party didn't know whether to cry or laugh, it was very popular, but because the mistress was chosen so eye-catching, she became the target of everyone's complaints, and the negative topics brought heat It made this show famous.
But this is just the beginning. When I saw the two leading roles of "A Good Life" that was rumored to be launched in March, my eyes darkened. Can domestic dramas get any crazier?
01
11 years apart in the role of sister and brother, Sun Li may become the second Jiang Wenli
Jiang Wenli won the post-view award. If she and Ming Dao hadn't suffered a big setback in the role of sister and brother, she would still be a well-known and capable actor.
Unexpectedly, with Jiang Wenli’s experience, Sun Li would dare to take up her role.
It was originally reported on the Internet that the male protagonist of "A Good Life" is Wei Daxun. Although he doesn't look like Sun Li, at least he has an eye-catching one.
is now replaced by Dong Zijian. It feels strange to think about it. The actual age difference between the two is 11 years, but the visual age difference seems to be 20 years.
Although Sun Li has always maintained herself well and is much younger than her peers in real life, judging from her appearance on the red carpet last year, there are already signs of gaining weight in middle age. The figure still looks slender, but the face is obviously hairy and swollen.
visually looks not much different from her actual age of 41 years old.
On the other hand, Dong Zijian is an actor who looks very resistant to aging. He is very petite and has a cute baby face. No matter how old he is, he always feels like he has not grown up.
In "Golden Years", Dong Zijian and the younger Ni Ni played a couple, and it felt like an aunt and a nephew were forced together.
Now that Dong Zijian and Sun Li are allowed to act in emotional dramas, doesn't this turn the relationship between brother and sister into a "love between mother and son"? If
missed Wei Daxun, he wouldn't choose Dong Zijian, right? After all, she doesn't match Sun Li in terms of appearance, and her acting skills are also unsatisfactory, so she will most likely not be able to take on Sun Li's role.
It can be seen from his performance in "Dajiang Dahe" that his acting skills are becoming more and more unsatisfactory. Once the crying scene was very emotional, Dong Zijian squeezed his eyes hard and did not shed a single tear. I have to dig my face with my hands, which is really embarrassing.
But because his mother Wang Jinghua is the "number one agent in domestic entertainment", Dong Zijian has good resources. Not only can he play a leading role in the Noon Sunshine drama, but he can also have Liao Fan, Zhang Yi and other movie stars to act for him in "Happy Face". match.
However, Dong Zijian, who has limited strength, may completely expose his shortcomings at any time and often becomes a hindrance. This time
cooperated with Sun Li and also obtained first-class resources in the industry, but Dong Zijian, whose strength is worrying, is really not something people can expect.
In addition, there have been many overturns in sister-brother love dramas in recent years, and few of them have been successful. Even a combination like Jiang Shuying's partner Peng Yuchang feels inconsistent, let alone one that is full of aunty flavor. What about Sun Li and Dong Zijian, who has never grown up?
Judging from the story setting of the play, there is not only an emotional rivalry between the two, but also a competitive relationship in career. Both of them are insurance practitioners. The heroine was secretly obstructed by the hero, which led to her being fired from the company. Expelled.
Sun Li is very comfortable playing career-oriented female characters. Before this, she had appeared in works such as "An Jia" and "Ideal City". Judging from the role setting, the heroine's image is still within Sun Li's comfort zone.
But whether Dong Zijian can play a good role as an elite with means and ability in his career is unknown.
Therefore, "It's a Good Life" hasn't started filming yet. Just looking at this kind of casting makes people accept the incompetence. And when I saw the director's name, it gave me a slap in the face.
02
The quality of the series has declined, and the director's reputation is worrying.
But looking at the two screenwriters of this show, it is destined that the quality of the series is mixed. One is the screenwriter who has written "The Bottom Line", and the other is the screenwriter who has written "Heartbeat Source Project" Screenwriter, the former has a decent reputation, but the latter is a completely bad drama.
It’s hard to say whether two screenwriters like this can produce good works when they come together.
But with a weak director, even if there is a good script, there is a high possibility that it will fail.
director Wang Jun has previously become famous with his small series of works. From "Little Farewell" to "Little Joy", two dramas with a reputation of over 8 points have proved how precise Wang Jun is in controlling such themes. , not only the shots are very realistic, but also thought-provoking.
Even for a costume drama, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" directed by Wang Jun also scored 7.5 points. In addition to Zhou Xun's status as a girl who was complained about, this drama brought us many surprises from casting to plot. .
Wang Jun's vision is still very spicy. This "It's a Good Life" is a drama that combines emotions and industry. The heroine in the drama is older and unmarried, so she directly fills the topic, and the sibling relationship with the male protagonist , is also a big hit right now.
But unfortunately, the quality of the works directed by Wang Jun in the past two years is hard to describe.
"Xiao Min's Family", which reunited Zhou Xun and Huang Lei, only received a 6.1 word-of-mouth rating. The center of the drama is concerned about being a repeat student at Tsinghua University, falling in love and playing games at the same time, and finally passed the exam.
Huang Lei's greasy-tongued appearance in the drama is no different from when he participated in variety shows in real life.
"Xiao Man's Life", which was broadcast last year, brought together two powerful actors, Qin Hao and Jiang Xin, and was only 0.1 points higher than "Xiao Min's Family".
Business wars with low EQ and low IQ, and various storylines that spread anxiety, make people feel more and more boring the more they watch it.
Wang Jun is no longer what he used to be. He already feels a little out of his depth. For him to be the director of "A Good Life" is tantamount to letting the audience take a detour to avoid this kind of thing that looks good but is actually hard to swallow. of cake.
Seeing such a lineup and creative configuration, are you still looking forward to the drama "It's a Good Life"?
