" Ode to Joy 5", the wait is finally here.
The original cast of " Ode to Joy " 3 and 4 returns, the director is still Jian Chuanxi, and the screenwriter is still Anai.
is also the eighth channel of CCTV. It will be broadcast in prime time at 9:30 tonight, and it will be broadcast simultaneously on the Goose Factory and Taochang!
I know what everyone wants to say? Has the fifth installment of "Ode to Joy" been filmed?
In a sense, "Ode to Joy", a classic IP of domestic female group dramas, has also witnessed the ups and downs of Noon Sunshine in recent years.
"Ode to Joy" was launched in 2016, not long after the rise of the noon sun.
Back then, Noon Sunshine was synonymous with word-of-mouth dramas. It was also a special presence at a time when audiences were generally disappointed with Chinese dramas.
Generally speaking, what audiences care about most is the actors, up to the screenwriters and directors at most, but starting from Noon Sunshine, the audience begins to pay attention to the production company of the series.
Because the four words "Sunshine at Noon" are the best Chinese drama signature.
Starting from " Ode to Joy 3", although it is still "five women, one drama" and although it still takes place on the 22nd floor of the Ode to Joy community, it only borrows the signatures of the first two films. The story is completely new and the starring cast is also full. Blood transfusion.
Also in the past few years, although noon has launched a series of excellent Chinese dramas such as "Mountains and Seas", "The Beginning", " Dajiangdahe3", the average distribution of works is not as stable as in previous years.
But even so, in a recently popular form complaining about workers in the industry, the most normal form for the entire domestic entertainment film and television company is Noon Sunshine.
In this sense, Noonday is still the production company with the most conscientious production and the most stable output in the industry. Noonday Sunshine is still a good company.
However, "Ode to Joy 5" still has to face the pressure of declining popularity and a turnaround in word-of-mouth. Can
counterattack? My answer is: Never underestimate the midday sun.
1. Story: He Minhong fights against the four beauties alone. Is he even more insane? The story of Xin Wumei finally reaches its finale
"Ode to Joy 5", which is the final chapter of the entire story.
Based on the preview, the epileptic life of the five golden flowers on the 22nd floor is about to begin again.
Yimei, He Minhong: I feel even more crazy.
For many viewers, the biggest motivation to follow the drama is to see what the ending of Ho Min-hong will be.
In " Ode to Joy 4", He Minhong not only broke up with the sisters on the 22nd floor because of his scumbag, but also moved out of the 22nd floor.
But in this episode, Stanley Ho, who returned to Shanghai, not only did not reflect, but also went to the 22nd floor to have a reckoning with his sisters. He fought against four beauties alone, made trouble unreasonably and overturned the table. Not to mention how awesome he was!
The sisters decisively cut off Honghong's thoughts of returning to the 22nd floor.
Qi Mu was detained because her father was so angry that he beat her up, and she had a miscarriage. She took her mother back to the corridor on the 22nd floor to do misfortune, but everyone offended her.
However, judging from the ending, He Minhong still returned to the 22nd floor. I finally began to understand how people should get along with each other.
I hope the screenwriter’s handling can convince the audience.
Ermei, Ye Zhenzhen: Dilemma.
She was the most chic in the previous films.
is engaged in scientific research, his family has a mine, and his boyfriend is reliable.
But in this movie, David's parents are struggling with debt problems. They hope that David can marry the Ye family and help their family survive.
The prospective mother-in-law was crazy about her son's prospective daughter-in-law, but was later found to have exaggerated.
Although it was not David who made the mistake, Ye Zhenzhen still had to face the fact that marriage was a union between two families. In any case, her story line is finally interesting.
Sanmei, Fang Zhiheng: Forced to raise a child.
She seemed to have succeeded in revenge last season, but she was still entangled with Li Qixing (played by Wang Anyu). With the appearance of Guo Shengyang (played by Qu Zheming), her relationship became more complicated.
What's even worse is that something went wrong at home. Her father, who was relegated to the second line and in a depressed state, brought her a younger sister.
She has to raise a baby at such a young age.
Fang Zhiheng, whose role in the first two seasons was not very pleasing, actually became a little cute because of this unfortunate incident.
Simei, Zhu Zhe: Mixed joys and sorrows.
is happy that he got promoted.
leadership talks, front desk rotation, and Qi Mu's words "This is the prelude to promotion" all prove that Zhu Zhe has opened a new chapter in his career.
In addition, she finally broke up with Director Wang (played by Wu Qijiang) and reported the other party's violations, which invisibly cleared the way for promotion.
What worries me is: my younger brothers and sisters are really unreliable.
Especially "Sister Niu" gnawed her brother until his brain was damaged, and attributed all the responsibility to Zhu Zhe for raising him to death.
Fortunately, my sister Zhu is not a vegetarian. She said "I sent you two to college, but I didn't expect to send two white-eyed wolves", completely gave up on unconditional blood transfusion, and forced my younger brother to stand on his own. Looking at it this way, worry may turn into joy. .
Five beauties, Yu Chuhui: The girl has grown up.
Although Ah Chu and Ho Min-hong started from the same starting point, and even had a much worse family situation than each other, they are the ones who have grown the fastest among the trilogy.
This season, not only did her career gain a foothold, but she also decisively used her father's deeds of hurting people and being imprisoned to successfully defeat the blind date bureau of the leadership team.
She also spoke frankly to the rich second generation who admired her, which was extremely reliable. Looking at the materials of the comprehensive trailer of
, almost all the story lines have reached a climax. The storytelling and watchability are obviously much higher than that of "Ode to Joy 3", but whether it can achieve a word-of-mouth counterattack remains to be seen. How does an actor act?
2. Actors: All members of the new Five Beauties are back, and several gold medal male costars have played a role in why "Ode to Joy" is so popular. "Ode to Joy" is indispensable.
Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, Yang Zi, and Qiao Xin vividly interpret five urban girls with different identities, different personalities, and different experiences, Andy, Fan Shengmei, Qu Xiaoxiao, Qiu Yingying, and Guan Ju'er.
Yang Zi's career has been on the rise since this drama. She is already a leading actress in Chinese dramas, and other leading actors have also made their mark with this drama.
Compared with "Original Five Beauties", although "New Five Beauties" has changed actors, in terms of role configuration, it actually maintains the original classic "3+2" structure.
Jiang Shuying, Yang Caiyu, Zhang Jianing, 's Ye Zhenzhen, Fang Zhiheng, and Zhu Zhe are the elder sisters who have experienced society, while He Minhong and Yu Chuhui are the little sisters who are just starting out.
From the perspective of acting performance, I am more optimistic about Zhang Jianing this season.
The former's acting skills have become more and more stable in recent years. She is also able to handle a role that was difficult to play in "Dajiang Dahe 3". This season, she plays the role of Sister Shuang who finally tears her younger brother and sister apart and is an unreliable leader. It should make many people happy. The audience is relieved.
Looking at the prime supporting roles, there are still Dou Xiao, Wang Anyu, Jing Chao, plus Zhang Haowei who plays Yu Chuhui’s new boyfriend.
Generally speaking, several male actors have more room to perform this season, especially Dou Xiao, who did not have a strong presence in the previous seasons.
Coupled with the stable performance of powerful actors such as Luo Haiqiong, Wu Qijiang, and Gao Xin, there is still no need to worry about the acting part.
3. Success or failure: Can you return to the top?
This question actually has two parts. One is whether "Ode to Joy 5" can return to its peak, and the other is whether Noon Sunshine can return to its peak?
I remain cautiously optimistic about the former.
I am very optimistic about the latter.
Let’s talk about "Ode to Joy 5" first. It is certain that its reputation will be better than 3 and 4.
The reason is very simple. In terms of story, "Ode to Joy 4 and 5" are actually the continuation of "Ode to Joy 3".
The biggest problem with this series is that it takes too long and the climax comes too late.
In addition, the change of starring roles in "Ode to Joy 3" affected the audience's popularity. The third part did not appear, and "Ode to Joy 4" did not create a big wave.
But judging from the quality of the work, "Ode to Joy 5" is the final chapter of the new trilogy. Various dramatic conflicts broke out violently, and the actors gradually became better.
Although it is not easy to get out of the circle, there is a high probability that it will look better than 3 and 4.
Let’s talk about the noon sun. I don't think there is a crisis at all.
The starting point of the midday sun is the shadow of the mountain.
Because the three Shandong people at the core of "Noon": Kong Sheng, Li Xue, and Hou Hongliang, are all from Shanying.
Kong Sheng was a cameraman for "Mountain Shadow" when he entered the industry. His first major role was as the main cameraman for "The White Eyebrow Hero".
In 2008, Kong Sheng filmed the northeastern part of the movie "Crossing Guandong" and began to gain a foothold.
Noon Sunshine was officially established in 2011, but it was still a studio and the audience only remembered Shanying. However, during this period, the High Noon Iron Triangle had taken shape. However, "Wenzhou Family" produced in 2012 and "Parental Love" in 2014 were still produced by Shanying, but High Noon's creations have become very mature.
2015 is the real breakthrough year of "Noon Sunshine".
One "Nirvana in Fire" and one "The Pretender" not only made Hu Ge popular all over the country again, but also made the four words "Sunshine at Noon" synonymous with the quality of Chinese dramas.
Now look back at the work at noon.
The costumes of the characters, the etiquette of interactions, and the layout of the houses in "Nirvana in Fire" are all made with care that is visible to the naked eye.
As a spy war drama, "The Pretender" is still the pinnacle of spy war drama production.
The next few years are the years when Noon Sunshine is making great progress. 2019's "Do You Know Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" and 2020's "Big River" have become hits one after another. Although
has also produced some works with average reputation, "Mountains and Seas" and the following "The Beginning" have once again reshaped the "Noon Sunshine" sign.
It can be said that Zhongwu has really encountered reputation difficulties in the past two years.
The problem with Noon in the past was that the second-generation directors were sometimes ineffective, but Kong Sheng stabilized it as soon as he took action.
The problem in the past two years is that " County Party Committee Courtyard " directed by Kong Sheng has a super lineup of Hu Ge, Liu Tao, Huang Lei, and Wu Yue, but its popularity is average.
"Dajiang Dahe 3" was the highest-rated TV series last year by CCTV, and its reputation was also stable at 8.0. Kong Sheng's sword is still young, but when compared with "Flowers" of the same period, it feels like a top student took second place. .
high-quality is certainly high-quality, but the quality advantage of noon is no longer that great.
But do you want to say that there is a crisis at noon?
I don't think so.
The problems of Noon Sunshine in the past two years are that it is too obsessed with urban emotional dramas. As a result, the ratings and word-of-mouth ratings are mediocre, and they are all urban emotional dramas.
In fact, period dramas and costume dramas are the strengths of Zhongwu. Judging from the recent launch of dramas, Zhongwu has obviously learned its lesson.
The second is Kong Sheng who succeeds and Kong Sheng who fails.
's over-reliance on Kong Sheng's personal abilities and the unstable performance of second-generation directors are the fundamental reasons for the decline in the reputation of the Noon series.
If you don’t advance, you will retreat. This is the current situation of Noon Sunshine in the past two years.
When "Three-Body", "Hurry", and "The Long Season" rise one after another, the midday sun becomes relatively lonely.
But again, never underestimate the midday sun.
4. The future: Give it some sunshine, and it will be brilliant.
Film and television production company, in the end, it still has to rely on its works to speak for itself.
A work can make your reputation drop, and the same work can make you return to the top.
Judging from the ammunition on hand at noon, it is still very sufficient.
's upcoming dramas include "Ode to Joy 5", "Mortal Song", "Alley People" and "Hard Manufacturing".
Among them, "Alley People" is a period drama that Zhongwu is good at. The cast is also very strong, and the chance of it becoming a hit is very high.
is preparing to shoot the movie "De Leisure", which tells the story of the Battle of Yichang. It is written by Lan Xiaolong and directed by Kong Sheng. If you have watched "Battle of Changsha", you will know that it is very stable.
"Cherry Amber", "Rain Bell", "The Tree of Life" and "The Life of Life" have entered the preparation stage. Among them, the main drama "The Tree of Life" is rumored to be starring Yang Zi, and the chance of it being a hit is not low.
The only regret is that Kong Sheng focused his work on the first war movie at noon, and the originally planned "Nirvana in Fire 3" has obviously been postponed.
However, the IP of "Langya Bang" still has a lot of room for development. As long as the casting is suitable and Kong Sheng takes action, the chance of it becoming a hit is still high.
So you see, it can be said that it is very easy for a drama to be released in the future.
Because the secret of "success at noon" is always there.
That is: truly respecting the audience, trusting and paying attention to the audience's aesthetics.
In today's domestic drama and film industry, there are still not many people who can really achieve this.
Finally, "Ode to Joy 5", which will be broadcast tonight, although the chance of becoming a new hit at noon is not high, there is a high probability that it will be the revival of the trilogy led by Xin Wumei.
This time, it should not roll over at noon.
