On the evening of March 18, " and Feng Xing " starring Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin was launched. Four episodes were updated in one go. The popularity exceeded 25,000 in 26 minutes, setting a new viewing record on Penguin Station.
At this point, the situation of " top four competing for " in the TV drama market has officially formed.
For some unknown reason, within just one week, the ancient puppet dramas " Flames " and "Traveling with the Phoenix" , and the urban dramas " Little Days " and " Ode to Joy5" were aired one after another. 's attitude is that "no one accepts the other's " and " each wins the audience based on its own ability" .
At present, because the content of "Little Days" and "Ode to Joy 5" is too bloody, in terms of reputation and ratings, it is obvious that it cannot compete with "Fire" and "Walking with the Phoenix" .
"Little Days": Strange parents-in-law paired with a useless daughter-in-law
"Little Days" stars Chen Xiao and Tong Yao. The parents-in-law and mother-in-law are played by Sarina and Zhao Jun respectively.
Objectively speaking, the acting skills of these four actors are all remarkable. The point that the audience complained about was the content. Almost "combined the conflicts between parents-in-law and daughter-in-law":
1. In order to prevent the daughter-in-law from getting divorced, the parents-in-law and the mother-in-law separated. Regarding real estate, I strongly disagree with the second-generation daughter-in-law of a rich man paying for the wedding house and leaving her name on the house book. The family only has enough money for the down payment, but the daughter-in-law is required to repay the loan together.
2. The total wedding room was only 50 square meters. After the child was born, the mother-in-law came to help take care of the child. The young couple had to give up the bedroom to her mother-in-law, and they went to the balcony to sleep in bunk beds.
3. In order to live a married life, the young couple went to a hotel to book a room. The mother-in-law put an invoice in the daughter-in-law's bag and went to the daughter-in-law's workplace to cause a scene.
4. Although my father-in-law has no other abilities, he is very chauvinistic and has formulated several large family rules for his daughter-in-law. At first glance, she thought that his family had a throne to inherit.
5. My daughter-in-law is from a real rich second generation, so how could she have been bullied like this by her parents-in-law for 7 years?
In order to intensify the character conflicts, the whole drama also incorporates elements such as workplace competition and green tea mistresses. The daughter-in-law played by Tong Yao kills everyone in the workplace, but is bullied by her parents-in-law and unable to fight back, so that the whole character looks quite divided. The logic is difficult to convince the audience.
"Ode to Joy 5": Peter Ho blocked the audience's breasts
"Ho Min-hong" played by Zhang Huiwen , almost got the scolding KPI of the whole drama. Her character is "strict to others, lenient to oneself, selfish, love-minded" Upper body"...
In her world, she is always the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. Others, including her parents, either don't understand her or have corrupt moral character.
People with personality traits like He Minhong are definitely "the best" who are rare to see in a century. They may have existed in real life, but most people can't see it at all because they can't move forward in society.
What's even more annoying is that in order to highlight the theme of "girl help girl", "Ye Zhenzhen" played by Jiang Shuying has almost become a "Madonna", being implicated by Stanley Ho again and again, and helping to wipe the butt again and again.
"Ode to Joy" is a big IP, and the producer is Noon Sunshine, the "master" in the TV drama industry, so there are still a large number of fans who follow the show. However, when they saw Stanley Ho's family, they all complained: "The audience's breasts are... Aren't they mammary glands?"
During the filming, there was a scene where He Minhong's parents fought with "Qi Mu" played by Jing Chao in order to seek justice for their daughter. However, He Minhong did not understand the parents' painstaking efforts at all, and actually knelt down and begged Qi Mu. forgive.
This action was added temporarily by Zhang Huiwen. Jing Chao joked on the set: " Why do you have to kneel down? Are you afraid that the audience will scold me?"
Unexpectedly, after the TV series was broadcast, the majority of the audience became "angry" They were all given to He Minhong, but Qi Mu was rarely criticized. Was it because his character was too scumbag and he was completely abandoned?
"Fire" is highly restored
The large-scale costume fantasy drama "Fire" was launched on March 13, five days earlier than "Traveling with the Phoenix".
"Fire Flame" is based on the classic animation IP "Wu Geng Ji". It has a huge fan base and has also achieved a high degree of animation in terms of character modeling.
But for viewers who have never seen the original work, the actor’s appearance is hard to describe! Especially Peter Ho, Jiang Xin, Ma Su and others, each one is more shocking than the other.
In addition, Ren Jialun is only 9 years younger than Ma Su, but he plays Ma Su's son, which also aroused ridicule from some netizens.
In fact, actors serve their roles. As long as their acting skills are solid and consistent with the logic of the story, there is no need to worry about the actual age of the actor.
"Traveling with the Phoenix": funny and handsome men and beautiful women
Reporters asked Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying to give three reasons why "Traveling with the Phoenix" is good. Lin Gengxin replied: " One is that it is relaxed and happy; the other is that the two of us are in harmony. It has met the fans' expectations."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Liying: "You can say one, I have already said two!"
Zhao Liying answered tacitly: "Watching it will make you crazy."
Reporters listened When he was confused, Lin Gengxin helped explain: "Our drama is indeed a unique comedy style."
Lin Gengxin sincerely does not deceive me!
In addition to him and Zhao Liying, "Traveling with Feng" also includes handsome men and beauties such as Xin Yunlai, Xu Haiqiao, He Yu, and Zeng Li.
The plot and lines in the play are also in a funny style. For example, "Xingyun" played by Lin Gengxin makes a living by selling ginseng, but is mistakenly thought by "Shen Li" played by Zhao Liying that he is "selling his life for a living."
The village girl "Xiao Tao" in "Traveling with the Phoenix" and the maid "Xiao Tao" in "Do You Know" are both played by Wang Ziwei. According to her revelations, Zhao Liying helped her win this role, and it is also the only drama she will appear in in 2022.
Xiaotao has been secretly in love with Xingyun for many years. When her parents went south to do business, she came to say goodbye to Xingyun and confided her feelings. Not only did Xingyun not understand the style, he even complained about Xiao Tao "Do you want my farewell gift?" , and even took out a torn rag to give to Xiao Tao...
The stunts in "Traveling with the Phoenix" were also done well Yes, it seems that Zhao Liying is quite competent as the producer of this drama.
Conclusion
The greater the number and the more complex the types of TV series broadcast at the same time, the more choices the audience has, which also tests the actors' ability to carry out the drama and the show's sincerity.
Which drama are you following? Which drama’s ratings are you more optimistic about?
The collision is not terrible, whoever is lower will be embarrassed!
