"South and North"
During this year's Spring Festival, the popularity of TV series is far less than that of movies and Spring Festival Gala."Back and forth" has relatively high playback and attention among them. On the one hand, the subject matter is suitable for the whole family to watch together. It is a period drama, with idol actors and powerful veteran actors. It is also directed by Zheng Xiaolong, which has a good balance. On the one hand, Bai Jingting's hot searches have also brought a certain amount of popularity to the series.
The play tells the story of Ma Kui, an old detective who has returned from his hometown for ten years, and Wang Xin, a young and outstanding police officer. The master and apprentice went from being dissatisfied with each other, full of conflicts, and misunderstandings to working together and working together in tacit understanding. Through the various aspects of life on a train and the warmth and warmth of human relationships among a group of neighbors, we witness the innovation and development of the great motherland, and the story of the inheritance of the spirit of the new and old generations of railway police officers.

"The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty"
This drama is considered a backlog. It will be completed in April 2022 and will not be broadcast until the Spring Festival of 2024. It is originally very suitable for the audience after "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" The demand for costume detectives, whether it is the production funds, the cast, or the original script, has raised expectations to the highest level. Especially if it is set during the Spring Festival and winter vacation, it should have good results, but... the results are not ideal.
Stills of "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty"
When it first aired, it was still very popular. After all, the cast was strong, the trailer was full of suspense, and the acting was exquisite. However, after a few episodes were aired, the high-anticipation audience was pulled into a wait-and-see mode. , audience feedback was very average.
From the perspective of the original work, "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" has received good reviews from both the industry and ordinary readers. There are eight books in two series, eight stories full of Tang Dynasty style, regardless of whether Di Renjie conforms to everyone's stereotypes. In my impression, the image of Master Guan, at least the suspense, twists, revelations and other exciting aspects of the story itself, should be a good text base for film and television adaptation.
But the current results show that the whole story has been changed to bits and pieces. Many viewers pointed out in their feedback that they couldn’t stick with it after watching two episodes. After watching four or five episodes, they still didn’t understand how the case was solved. The rhythm was sparse. Broken, a waste of S+ level investment. Although the overall popularity is still in the top five, the shadow of this drama is rarely seen in online discussions.
" 火狐人家"
Although some people have not opened the show, they have watched the most exciting part of the show on the short video website, which is the conflict between mother, daughter and sisters. The series launched in a relatively low-key manner, with not much publicity. The only publicity efforts were spent on short video websites. The publicity team may have released the parts that are most suitable for the conflict between the two generations of Chinese families.
Stills of "Fireworks"
The drama is adapted from the women's novel "She and Her Islands" written by Douban Reading author Yi Nan. The story revolves around three generations of the Meng family, mainly telling the story of Qiao Haiyun, the patriarch, and the Meng family with different personalities. It is a heart-warming story about three sisters, Meng Mingwei, Meng Wanqing, Meng Yi'an, and their respective daughters, who support each other and grow up individually after experiencing various problems and confusions in family, marriage and love.
This drama is directed by Lin Yan, the director of "Dragon City" and "There Are Arbors in the South". It is also very suitable for its female theme, and has assembled some of the best actresses from the two generations such as Xu Fan, Ma Sichun, Sun Qian, Liang Jing, and Li Xiaoran. Excellent representatives are starring.
Although the theme is "warm stories", there is not much warmth in the parts shown so far. In particular, the scenes where the mother played by Xu Fan forces and controls the daughter played by Ma Sichun are really suffocating. Many viewers commented on why it should be shown in the big screen. The only good thing about watching such an infuriating plot during the Chinese New Year may be that I feel that my mother is not so outrageous, and I am not so unlucky. Due to its low-key launch, the popularity of the series is gradually increasing, which is also related to the fermentation of the "suppression" plot on social platforms.
The scale of realism themes like this is difficult to grasp. I hope it can be truly "warm" in the later period.
