On November 26, 2019, the first season of " Celebrating More Than Years " was launched.
was a miracle drama when it first aired, becoming the biggest hit of 2019.
In the investment picture of " Celebrating More Than Years 2", it was written that the number of views in the first season reached 16 billion +
Five years later, on May 16, 2024, the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" was launched, creating the first broadcast The highest popularity value in history on the first day was as high as 32906.
Compared with the popular " Sauvignon Blanc ", the peak number in the first season was 33,000.
The launch of "Qing Yu Nian 2" was the peak of "Sauvignon Blanc", which shows how popular "Qing Yu Nian" is.
But as soon as I opened "Qing Yu Nian 2", in addition to the five years of anticipation, the barrage also filled the screen with disappointment and complaints about "not looking good". Why is this?
As a long-time fan of the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years", after watching the first five episodes of the second season, I will write down my comparative impressions.
1. The pace is slow.
The pace of the second season is obviously slow. It is too slow to enter the main plot.
A series of background explanations revolve around the protagonist "Fan Xian's fake death". These backgrounds are related to the entanglement of interests of all parties, as well as the "game within the game" and "play within the play" of the forces behind each party, which makes the viewing experience relatively boring.
plays a big game from the beginning, lacking interesting clues and leaving people a bit confused.
First of all, we all agree that the protagonist Fan Xian cannot die, but we just don’t know how he can avoid danger. Usually this step can be explained simply in one or two episodes, but the plot of "fake death" and "real death" took five episodes to describe (it even feels like there is more foreshadowing later).
Although I know that Fan Xian is the protagonist, all parties focus on Fan Xian, which lacks a sense of challenge and goal.
In a word, "real death" and "fake death" are all decided by the protagonist, so I hope the screenwriter can use less words to prove the authenticity, otherwise the audience will feel like they are being treated as fools.
2. The entertainment trend is obvious
The second season is obviously less plot-heavy than the first season, and is more entertaining and light comedy. It feels more like a sketch than a well-conceived movie. TV series.
may be due to the overwhelming ratings of the first season, but the second season has a clear tendency to please the audience. (The second prince’s wheat bran and witty links have increased, and even the second prince and Fan Xian are working hard to form cp)
3. The logic is not rigorous enough
The protagonist has double standards.
For example, Fan Xian pretended to be at this moment and flew into the palace with three or two moves of Qinggong. He was also able to make a group of guards dare not touch him. He thought that the guards were just errands and helped him call his father-in-law, whom he knew well.
My father-in-law knew that the emperor wanted to kill him, but he still helped to cover it up, pretending that nothing happened. It turned out that Fan Xian wanted to use his privileges to find his father-in-law, and ask his father-in-law to pass the news for him and meet the emperor.
For a person who has already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, with so many concubines in the palace helping him, doesn't Fan Xian live a better life than the emperor? The emperor also had to take care of everything. He wants to go wherever he wants and see whomever he wants to see.
is very double-standard here. Fan Xian took advantage of his privileges, and when he went back to check Baoyue Tower, he resented others for taking advantage of their privileges.
In addition, Fan Xian can even enter the palace using Qinggong, but why does it take so much effort to enter the Baoyue Tower later? If you just want to go in and check on Teng Zijing's wife and daughter, isn't it okay to just fly to the roof and squat there?
4. Exaggerated performances
In addition to Chen Daoming , Wu Gang and other veteran actors who have online acting skills and show a sense of relaxation, the younger generation of actors all perform a bit exaggerated and forceful.
Compared with the first season, the actors are more relaxed, so they seem to be more immersive. The performance traces in the second season are so heavy that it makes people look like they are performing. In addition, there are too many "play-within-a-play" plots. When there are too many plots, it is easy to lack a sense of reality. Coupled with the actors' hard performance, it will give people the feeling that they are all performing and it is difficult to immerse themselves in watching the drama.
Zhuyu comes first. Generally, dramas that have good popularity and reputation in the first season will be a big challenge for the second season.
has only aired a few episodes so far, and we look forward to the exciting plot in the future.
