Maybe some dramas will get better gradually, and some dramas may start high but then slow down, so this article only represents the author’s opinion on the first few episodes and is for reference only. If there is any subsequent slap in the face, we will inform you at any time.
" Misplaced "
Broadcasting platform: iQiyi
First broadcast time: July 11th
Misty Theater's repeated failures gave the audience a "crying wolf" mentality. As soon as they saw Misty Theater, they were immediately Excited and stressed.
This "Dislocation" starring Ma Yili , Tong Dawei , and Lan Yingying is adapted from the novel "Intersecting Scenes" by Matsumoto Seicho.
"Dislocation" has a popularity value of over 8,000 on the iQiyi site.
Many netizens commented that the series reminded people of " echo " starring Song Jia and received many bad reviews. Perhaps it was because the female police officer played by Ma Yili also encountered the problem of her husband cheating.
The author has watched the first five episodes and is not disappointed. This time, Mist Theater put aside the pretentious method and told the story honestly, which turned out to be pleasing to the eye. It starts with a murder case, the characters are very focused, and the relationships are clearly explained. One main line is the police department. Ma Yili led Shi Luo, a novice and detective novel enthusiast, to investigate the case and found some relevant characters. The other main line is the suspect part, the writer played by Tong Dawei, the content of the new book is exactly the same as the scene of the case, the eldest lady played by Lan Yingying has disabled legs, loves the writer boyfriend, and the gunman writer who may have witnessed the murder process. The two main lines intersect.
Of course, it is difficult to compare the level of the series with the original work, and the screenwriter has also made a lot of changes. Putting aside the controversy over the adaptation, let’s just talk about the drama itself. The story is attractive, the plot is clearly explained, and it does not tease the audience. Although it cannot become a suspense drama, it may become a suspense drama that can be watched.
" East City Nightmare ", how much is the standard for suspense screenwriters? Does the husband of a female police officer have to cheat?
Finally, according to the "unfinished tradition" of Mist Theater, the above evaluation is not responsible for the plot after 5 episodes.
" Sauvignon Blanc 2"
Broadcast platform: Tencent Video
First broadcast time: July 8
Alas, I can only sigh. In the summer release, "Sauvignon Blanc 2" performed well, but compared to the first part, the second part obviously declined a lot.
The reason is that it was split and broadcast, which lost the expressiveness of the entire drama. If the good looks of Qingshui Town and the sadomasochism in the later part can still attract the enthusiasm and discussion of the audience when watching the first part, after it was forcibly split into two parts, the part currently aired should have allowed the audience to follow Xiaoyao Making a painful decision soberly and calmly together is a tension that only exists in coherent emotions, a choice of happiness, pain, turmoil, calmness and sadness.
But after it was split into two parts, it would be really difficult for the audience to empathize with the emotions of all the characters in the drama. If you are not so enthusiastic about the first part, you may abandon the show after watching the second part, and even more Needless to say, those who haven’t watched the first part.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the main creator, "Sauvignon Blanc 2" has finally entered the hit club with a popularity value of over 30,000 on Tencent.
To be honest, the rhythm of the first few episodes of the second part is indeed not that smooth. Every character in the drama is depressed and all have a grimace -
the male protagonist Xingxuan, although he successfully ascended the throne, he still looks like "Getting married is like going to the grave" like a little bitter gourd;
the heroine Xiaoyao is still trapped in the worry of who to marry, as if her life mission must include marrying immediately. But the basis of your initial engagement was to help Xuanxuan ascend to power. Now that everyone has ascended to power, do you still need to be in such a hurry to get married? don't know.
In addition, Xiaoyao seems to have been waiting for others to give her an answer. For example, she will repeatedly ask Xiang Liu, "Who else can I marry?" Many viewers have great doubts about this, whether it is an imaginary condition or a character. From a relationship perspective, Xiaoyao should have more choices, instead of being miserable every day and unable to choose a man.
After a long time, the plot reached the part where she ditched the man and started to run her own medical career. You would think that the heroine's script was on the right track...but when it came to the key plot of escaping from marriage, she fell into another relationship with Tu Shanjing. , Fangfeng Yiying, Tushanhoujian, a polyamorous love story that is constantly sorting out and returning to chaos. Is this love necessary to talk about?
Perhaps for fans of Xipi, the only focus of watching the second part of the drama is to watch the Xipi Fat Cut.
As for the plot drama, this great cause of consolidating the country that can only be accomplished by getting married, is it really not the script of marrying the princess that the male protagonist holds?
"Dream City"
Broadcast platform: CCTV One, Youku, iQiyi, Mango tv
First broadcast time: July 9th
Many netizens complained about this drama and rated it very low. The author insisted on watching it for three or four times. Episode, I roughly understand what is awkward about this main theme drama. As explained at the beginning of the
episode, this is a story about an intelligent system to cooperate with urban road planning. Around this intelligent system, differences and struggles have arisen within major technology companies and the protagonist company.
netizens’ complaints focused on the fact that the protagonists did not act like they were doing technical work at all, and the plot did not make up for their professionalism. The computer interface jumped, and hackers attacked, and there were another click of operations, and there were bugs. It was solved again, like magic.
This kind of shooting might have been fine when computers and the Internet were still new things, but now in the information age, where everyone has AI and navigation, it would be too confusing to use this kind of shooting method anymore, which is equivalent to a medical drama. As soon as the curtain was pulled, and a few shots of blood splattered, it was announced that the operation was successful, and the audience would never buy it.
But after watching a few more episodes, you will find that the creator wants to use cool technology to attract the audience, but it is actually a story about personnel and workplace struggles, but the cool technology is not done well and has the opposite effect. After the second or third episode, the story focuses on how capital wants to maximize profits, and its methods include layoffs, splits, parachute CEOs, equity, family strategies... But for technicians, the completeness and maturity of product research and development are the most important. . Once a conflict occurs, from the perspective of employees, why should they consider the company; from the perspective of capital, the purpose of starting a company is to make money, and no one is doing charity.
Even if these struggles in the drama seem childish, the same pattern actually occurs in large domestic companies, especially parachute leadership and layoffs. Every large company will play a round. From this point of view, "Dream City" has its practical significance.

However, the theme needs to be meaningful and supported by details. The best way to make a TV series good is to make it look good. The childlike shots of foreign capital and technology in the story make the dream seem like a fantasy. The starring role of Yang Shuo is also very interesting. He played the role of a rural reformer in "大江大河" and led the manufacturing technological innovation in "The Song of Lushan Mountain". His performances were quite convincing, but in "The Song of Lushan Mountain", he played the role of a rural reformer. In Ode to Joy "Dream City", he also plays the lead, but he feels greasy and his acting is a bit suspended.
" Happy and Wonderful Night "
Broadcast platform: Tencent
First broadcast time: June 28
Although it is a variety show, I still want to recommend it privately. How can life lack comedy and laughter! Just like you can’t live without Coke!
Ma Dong changed the platform and continued to do comedy, but he still hit the mark. "Happy Wonderful Night" gathered some of the happy people from the previous "One and Two" shows, and also attracted some new comedians. The model still invited Huang Bo, Qin Hao, Jia Bing, and an actress will be the star audience.
None of these are actually important. The fact that the work is funny is the most important proof of a good program.The process of watching it is really enjoyable. There are various types of comedies with different laughter points for the audience to experience for themselves -
For example, some people like the ones with strong stage sense; some people like Lu Yan's deconstruction, satire and tribute style. ; There are also people who like people with strong acting abilities.
Panpan is a tough choice. You can choose a comedy type that suits your taste. It can make people temporarily forget the pressure of life and experience the moment of pure joy.
Not only that, these different types of funny works can basically maintain a high standard of "universally funny". Even if someone can't get one type, they won't feel bad, and there will be extremely outstanding works from time to time. , such as "The World of Sketch" and "Eighty-One Difficulties".

Happiness is short-lived, please cherish it.
