" Celebrating More Than Years 2"
Broadcast platform: CCTV 8, Tencent Video
Premiere time: May 16th
"The King of Drama" was very popular when it first aired, but the performance of the series seemed to be unsatisfactory.
The popularity of "Celebrating More Than Years 2" on the site exceeded 33,000 in the 25 hours after it was aired. It is a real "hit drama"
The first season of "Celebrating More Than Years " is a fresh, fast-paced, imaginative, and tricky mixture of original works. It contains multiple elements such as male videos, machinations, science fiction, ancient Chinese novels, etc. Compared with ordinary male comics, Fan Xian is clever, smart, and kind, although he also has cheating conditions. Most importantly, he inherited his mother Ye Qingmei’s legacy to bring equality, fairness and justice to everyone. To this world where civilization has yet to develop. As he moved from Danzhou to the capital, he gradually found his own friends, family, like-minded partners, and opponents he never knew before. This growth process is rich, interesting, and moving. The screenwriter has a lot of room to play, and it also firmly attracts the audience's attention.
In the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years", it stands to reason that Fan Xian experienced Nirvana in the Northern Qi Dynasty and returned to the Qing Kingdom. This should be the most interesting time: the struggle between the princes becomes intense, the powerful ministers plot against each other, and Fan Xian faces the junior ministers ( Prince) to the peak of power, even spiritual patricide.
The prince of Qing Kingdom starts a struggle for the throne
What a pity, Wang Juan is used to writing clever and interesting things, but he fell down a bit in the big battle. The first plot point at the beginning of the chapter, "Fake your own death to deceive the emperor," was missed by several breaths, and the reactions from all parties were confusing. Since everyone knew that he was faking his own death, why bother pretending to be dead? He faked his death when he had to run for his life. At most, he deceived Xie Bian and the second prince. Where could he go to deceive the emperor? If he wanted to bully him, several "fathers" would join forces to bully the emperor, but Fan Xian did not take the initiative to bully him.
The big fight in Baoyuelou marks the beginning of the game between Fan Xian and the second prince.
Baoyuelou is the worst episode. After fighting with Fan Xian like this, the second prince easily believed Wang Qinian; Fan Sizhe, as the owner, did not know that he was running a brothel; they gathered together But there was no result in Baoyue Tower and everyone broke up... Putting aside logic, the lines and atmosphere are sometimes Machiavellian and sometimes sketchy. No wonder the audience complained that "the second season has all modern people". Especially the quarrel between the princes and Fan Xian was like an embarrassing sketch created in only 24 hours for a comedy contest. There is something to watch in the second season of
. The framework of the original work has not been broken, and the arc of the path of the lonely minister is still there, but too much water has been added, causing the whole drama to be very divided. Sometimes it is like an 8-point plot drama, and sometimes it is like a 5-point plot. Sketch dramas (such as boring jokes about Wang Qinian's daughter being called "Ba Ba" and "Colorful Black") may feel like a roller coaster ride for the audience. It is recommended that the drama team cut out a high-quality version.
The father-son relationship between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing, have you tried it?
One more thing, the nature of the male subtitles in the second season is more obvious. Several fathers gave Fan Xian the biggest green light to varying degrees and worked together to support him. Fan Xian's success, luck, and aura are really unconvincing. And Fan Xian said that Lao Jintou was pitiful, but turned his back and ignored the poor girls in Baoyue Tower, which also made people wonder how he could inherit Ye Qingmei's last wish. To truly deserve the title of "King of Drama", "Celebrating More Than Years" had better provide better solutions on these key points,
"天行jian"
Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
Premiere time : May 8th
This is really the biggest surprise this week. The broadcast data and popularity are mediocre, but it is very enjoyable to watch. Whether it is the service, script, performance, or camera, it definitely exceeds expectations.
The poster of "Tian Xingjian"
The story is taken from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The reform failed, the warlords were separatist, and the whole country was crumbling and chaotic. At this time, a so-called ancestral treasure attracted several people to start tracking it: Internal Affairs The government released the most powerful figures in the royal family, the reformers carried out secret operations one after another, the Japanese attempted to sabotage the national destiny, the Jianghu people embraced the ideal of revitalizing the sect, the warlords wanted money to buy guns to fight, and the young police officers wanted to prove themselves. Under the great logic of
, it also represents the fate of different classes in troubled times, including the declining royal family, the humiliated royal cavalry, the reform party, the young catchers who grew up learning the ways of Confucius and Mencius, ordinary businessmen, and common people... Bai Yicong has incredible skills. , so many characters are reasonably strung together in the treasure hunt.
Stills of "Tian Xingjian"
The main characters are wonderfully portrayed. Men Sandao is ruthless when investigating the case, but his beliefs are wrong and his efforts are in the wrong direction. Wang Dibao is pedantic and persistent, and his face is full of literary integrity. Many of the lines are well written, and the screenwriter does not make any judgments, allowing the audience to follow the times and see what ending will happen if different choices are made.
The most important thing to praise is the director Lou Jian. He has directed the web drama " Royal Gift Xiaowu Zuo ", which is based on Xiaobo. The current drama has proved his ability to direct big dramas. The dim light throughout the play hints at the fate of the Qing Dynasty, and the overall gloomy tone also represents the atmosphere of troubled times. Many scenes contain character relationships and even convey intentions, such as the terrifying sect wedding. The camera aesthetic is the best among domestic dramas.
Qin Junjie as Men San Dao
Finally, I didn’t expect that Qin Junjie has settled down well in recent years, and Men San Dao is very outstanding.
recommends viewers with patience to watch this drama.
" Old Guy "
Broadcast platform: iQiyi, Beijing Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV
Premiere time: May 14th
The strength of Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang and Zhang Tielin is obvious to a generation of viewers. It's not that the show "Old Guy" is not good to watch, it's just that the script always feels like a waste of their abilities and tacit understanding.
"Old Guy" poster
The starting point of this script is very suitable for their age. It is a good idea to retire and open a retirement center, but maybe the screenwriter wanted to write a relaxed life and flow, and suddenly lost control, and the content drifted away. , too scattered and unfocused.
The characters of the three characters continue from the old work. Zhang Tielin plays the flamboyant and arrogant chairman, Zhang Guoli is the hardest-working labor force, and Wang Gang is caught in the middle and only cares about money. In comparison, it is basically the cooperation model of Qianlong, Ji Xiaolan, and Heshen. If we continue to focus on the slapstick and fun of these three characters as before, it may lack creativity, but it is indeed interesting.
The model of Audio-Technica in "Old Guy" is also very similar to that of the emperor, Ji Xiaolan, and He Shen
The current script may want to avoid the old routine and let the three people solve the problem, which makes the plot scattered. Audiences watch Iron Triangle just to watch the interaction between the three of them. Who wants to watch those trivial things about the family... Moreover, the overall story progresses too slowly. It’s almost 10 episodes and the nursing center has not yet been established. The author is considered a fan of Iron Triangle. , are really impatient.
After watching it for a while, I decided to watch " Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan " when I was in a bad mood, and "The Fragrance of Sophora Flowers in May" when I was in a good mood.
" The Successor of Family Glory "
Broadcast platform: Youku
First broadcast time: May 13th
If you have watched the Hong Kong drama of the peak era, you may not be able to stand this one at all. This crude plot, this boring bit of blood, this less than exciting character relationship, this mindless struggle for power... boredom is revealed everywhere.
The "Heir to the Family Glory" poster
is not without merit. The bloody incidents are happening one after another. It is just that the bloody incidents are not pretty enough, not exciting enough, not exaggerated enough, and not eye-catching enough.Seven or eight episodes have been aired. The most outrageous thing is that the legitimate son turned into a concubine, and the conflict between the fake will was resolved by a car accident. It is very much like a script written by AI. On the basis of meeting the official requirements, the creation Show the most bloody family power struggle scenes.
Every character is so labeled and masked. In this sixth collaboration between Ah She and Lin Feng, they both kissed and there were no sparks. Let's not talk about
anymore, let's review " Jewelry ".
