On the one hand, actress Hui Yinghong officially announced her joining, and she also hired veteran film director Chen Jiashang to "come down to earth" to help out.
On the other side, a large number of fans of Xiaohua Tian Xiwei strongly resisted.
The reason comes from the TV series "Feng Yue Irrelevant" that has not yet started filming.
The name of this work has existed in the world for a long time, and it is one of the works with a high probability of slipping up. However, the project has never been official, and only recently has part of the team been announced.
It is also reported that the male and female protagonists will be played by Liu Yuning and Tian Xiwei.
Although the news was not confirmed by any party, Tian Xiwei's fans were furious. In order to prevent Tian Xiwei from cooperating with "Feng Yue Irrelevant", they tried their best to persuade Tian Xiwei.
even went to the official blog to leave a message, even the method of "If you don't replace Tian Xiwei's "Feng Yue Irrelevant", you will attack it." This method of killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred will be revealed. In the mouths of these fans, "Feng Yue Irrelevant" is regarded as It's called "Poison Cake".
There are actually quite a few works that have been classified as "poisonous" by fans of actors and actresses. Some do this because they have higher risk estimates for the production team, while others have doubts about the plot and character design. "Irrelevant" falls into the latter category.
On the one hand, most netizens believe that she does not fit the image of an ancient female general.
When the news that Tian Xiwei might participate in the role of the general heroine in "Irrelevant" first came out, many netizens were shocked. It's not that Tian Xiwei is bad, but that her current temperament is very inconsistent.
asked a sweet girl with a cute appearance to play the role of a female general who kills everyone on the battlefield. It is difficult to understand the casting logic. If you want to force-fed the audience, you also have to see if the audience will not refuse.
Objectively speaking, if it weren't for the fierce resistance from Tian Xiwei's fans, now everyone would not be watching the excitement of the fandom, but would join the group of people making fun of her.
On the other hand, a large number of Tian Xiwei fans believe that the story of "Feng Yue Irrelevant" has too many interesting points, which may consume the popularity Tian Xiwei has accumulated with her sweet girl image and leave a bad impression on the audience.
Although fans are a little unfounded, this concern is not without purpose. Wang Churan in
's "My World's Fireworks" caused heated discussions because of her heavy love-minded character whose outlook on life was set back 20 years. The character's phenomenal overturn indirectly focused public opinion on the controversy over her private personality.
The plot and characters of "Feng Yue Irrelevant" are not on the same level as "My World's Fireworks".
Above are the reviews and plot character introductions of "Irrelevant" listed by netizens who have read the original work. I believe that most netizens who have seen this summary will agree with the "poisonous cake" view of Tian Xiwei fans.
The plot of the original work is not only old-fashioned and cliché, but also does not conform to current values and aesthetics.
The heroine has the gimmick of being a female general, but she is not the sassy and independent heroine in the public perception. Instead, she is closer to the "spoiled wife" character that is constantly complained about by the current public opinion. The male protagonist tortures her thousands of times, and she treats him like moonlight. .
It’s hard to describe the male protagonist’s corruption in the relationship between the sexes. It’s a typical early ancient saying that a combination of a scumbag man and a bitch girl was common. Even if the setting of the female general is put aside, it is a type where the romantic male protagonist has the exclusive female protagonist and is only for the male protagonist. A plot like
, shot according to the "essence" of the original work, will undoubtedly impress the audience.
After all, not all ancient romances can meet the chosen team like "East Palace", making the audience unable to help but follow the five senses, not to mention that its original minefield is even worse than the original "East Palace" .
According to the conventions of the film and television industry, faced with such an IP full of interesting points, the film and television industry will most likely choose "magic modification", only retaining the original background, names and part of the context, and other newly created dramas, which is really too much.
It’s not surprising that there is another magically modified version of “Feng Yue Irrelevant”.
Netizens who support Tian Xiwei also believe that "Feng Yue Irrelevant" will definitely change the plot, so as to persuade fans who have voiced resistance, but it also indirectly shows that supporters also know that "Feng Yue Irrelevant" has major disadvantages.
How Tian Xiwei will choose in the end is difficult to judge as a bystander, but the almost unanimous "poison cake" public opinion certification of "Irrelevant" makes people lament that there is an interesting phenomenon in our film and television industry.
When they buy IPs, they never seem to care about whether the plot is good or not, whether it conforms to public values and aesthetics, and sometimes there is even a feeling that there is no taboo and they want to buy IPs as long as they are a bit splashy.
Among the recently announced works, it is not just "The Wind and the Moon" that was once classified as a "poison cake" because the original values and plot shocked netizens. Liu Xueyi and Wu Jinyan's new drama "Spring Flowers" also experienced similar experiences.
The plot of the original novel summarized by this netizen is no less shocking than "Feng Yue Irrelevant".
Ordinary netizens also have the same incomprehension as they did when faced with "Feng Yue Irrelevant": Why should such a work be remade?
Even if the reputation of "Spring Blossoms" has reversed due to Liu Xueyi's outstanding performance, we have to admit that if the film and television drama follows the original plot, the only thing that the audience can watch is the actor's appearance.
But if you had the attitude that the original work must be "magically modified" when it was being produced, why not just write a new drama?
In the final analysis, the industry relies too much on IP, and original scripts have never received the attention they deserve.
ip was initially popular because it had already accumulated a certain audience and popularity through novels. The remake of IP can make the film and television dramas have their own discussion heat, which is equivalent to taking a shortcut to warm up.
coupled with the popularity bonus of traffic actors, the work will have doubled publicity effect. This is also the bargaining chip for a certain industry leader to shout " popular IP + traffic actors = must-hit " in the early years.
However, viewers who have some impression of the dynamics of the film and television industry at that time should remember that the big IP movie that this big shot used as a case was not long after being ridiculed by the crowd for its phenomenal success.
The follow-up "Popular IP + Traffic Actor = Must-Block" has almost never been truly confirmed. On the contrary, works that "no one cares about" before the filming start are more likely to appear as phenomenal dark horses.
However, the film and television industry’s pursuit of IP+ traffic has not stopped, the audience continues to criticize, and the industry continues to make remakes.
Because IP cannot guarantee the launch of "hot products", there is a certain probability that it can guarantee the chassis of "no matter how hard you try, there will be some splashes". Using IP as a gimmick can heat up the pie. For example,
has become the default operation of "swiping cakes". If you choose a well-known IP and use it with major traffic, it will become a hot-searched "masterpiece". The more fierce the netizens criticize it, the more popular the work will be.
But are there more works that slip away and become poisonous cakes in the end, or are there more works that become masterpieces? The film and television industry knows better than ordinary netizens.
relies too much on IP remakes and takes hot cake shortcuts, and creates new dramas with the attitude of "as long as it can keep the bottom line". How can it be possible to continue to contribute excellent works? Attitude has determined the outcome.
Our market is huge, which means that the audience’s enthusiasm will not be easily consumed to zero. But year after year, drama after drama will be consumed, and there will eventually be a day when it bottoms out. At that time, it will be more expensive to regain the audience. high.
hopes that the industry can truly return to the attitude of quality creation. IP can be remade, but it cannot be remade for the sake of remaking. IP is never wrong, but the industry cannot blindly think about taking shortcuts and cherishing the audience in order to win the market.
