In recent years, the domestic urban drama market has been "monopolized" by the theme of suspense dramas. Film and television dramas such as "Hurry Up", "The Long Season" and "Thirteen Years of Ashes" have frequently become popular on the Internet.
However, urban romance dramas, which have always been popular, have gradually disappeared from the public eye. Especially under the heavy blows of "Camp with Love" and "You Are My Worldly Fireworks", the vitality of domestic idol dramas has been seriously damaged.
Finally, domestic urban romance dramas have made some progress this year, but " Cheng Huan Ji " relies on its clichƩd plot, actors' exaggerated and artificial acting skills, and the ever-changing "dog-blood" plot of domestic urban dramas. , directly exposed the true colors of domestic idol dramas.
At present, " You are more beautiful than the stars " has just ended, and Hunan Satellite TV's another urban love drama "Secret Romance" is coming. The drama has been directly airborne on Hunan Satellite TV's prime time broadcast with almost no announcement!
At first glance at the synopsis of the story, the editor's heart went cold. It turned out to be an "office romance" drama. Looking back at the domestic drama market, over the years, it seems that "Shanshan is Coming", " Du Lala's Promotion " and "Beautiful" "Li Huizhen" three "office romance dramas", relatively classic.
All other dramas can't escape the exaggerated and cliched clichƩs, which makes the presence of idol dramas in the domestic drama market getting worse and worse. Therefore, at first, the editor did not have high hopes for the drama, and even suspected that the drama might be possible. Another "bad drama".
As a result, the show became a hit when it first aired. After the first two episodes, it easily won the first place in the ratings of local satellite TV in the country. The wonderful performances of the two leading actors Zhang Jianing and Wei Zheming also allowed the audience to see a domestic idol drama. "New Hope", now the domestic idol drama has another hit drama.
1. Plot: New wine in old bottles, sweet but not greasy
The story of "Private Romance" is not complicated. It mainly tells the story of the 27-year-old "elderly leftover woman" (the heroine calls herself self-deprecating) Tu Xiaoning (played by Zhang Jianing) and the relationship between The sweet journey between the high-quality man Ji Yuheng (played by Wei Zheming), from meeting on a blind date, pretending to be a couple, to sincere proposal, and finally falling in love.
Such a setting is not uncommon in the domestic idol drama market, but "Private Romance" can create new ideas within the old story framework, allowing the audience to feel surprises in the familiarity. At the beginning of the
series, Tu Xiaoning, a bank employee who is about to become a regular employee, faces the dual pressure of becoming a regular employee and getting married.
He suffered many setbacks in the blind date market. Either he looked down on others or others looked down on him, until he met his high school classmate Ji Yuheng.
One had planned it for a long time, and the other had no idea. The two started from an awkward blind date, until they discovered the shining points in each other, and their relationship quickly heated up. In particular, the male protagonist Ji Yuheng's ten-year secret love for Tu Xiaoning and the long-planned "proposal" process caught the audience off guard.
Different from the previous idol dramas, the plot of "Secret Romance" is fast-paced and not sloppy at all.
There are constant conflicts in the drama in just two episodes. It is rare that the heroine is in a hurry to get married, but her parents are very Buddhist. They are busy improving their scores every day, which is full of contrast. The male protagonist who has been planning for a long time even takes the initiative to attack in front of the heroine. In front of her boyfriend, the hero saves the beauty (ps: different from the previous heroes saving the beauty, the hero directly sends flowers to the heroine's ex-boyfriend during the marriage proposal, which is really cool).
And the editor finally saw a heroine and passerby with a long mouth in a domestic idol drama! He directly refused the "moral kidnapping" (the classmate complained on the spot that at the heroine's birthday party, he thought he would be proposed by her ex-boyfriend, but he gave up), and the heroine also refused directly on the spot. Why did you just leave when you said you would, and now you I regret it, should I promise you?
I just finished my "fun" here, and the editor was surprised by the drama "Secret Romance". The editor thought that the male protagonist was simply rescuing the female protagonist, but in the end, the male protagonist sent the female protagonist home. On the way, the male protagonist directly sent a "marriage application" to the female protagonist. This was only the first episode! Do you really want to play this big?
2. Zhang Jianing and Wei Zheming, the sense of CP is overwhelming
Of course, for a good TV series, in addition to whether the plot is attractive or not, the performance of the actors is also very important. The reason why "Private Romance" became a hit is inseparable from the outstanding performances of Zhang Jianing and Wei Zheming.
First of all, Tu Xiaoning, played by Zhang Jianing, works hard in the workplace and longs to become a regular employee and be recognized; emotionally, she longs to seek true love, but is afraid of getting hurt.
After experiencing the male protagonist's "marriage application," Zhang Jianing vividly displayed the embarrassment and uneasiness when the two met. Whether she is facing the pressure of work or the emotional entanglement with Ji Yuheng, she can accurately grasp the emotional changes of the character and make the audience empathize with her.
Ji Yuheng, played by the male protagonist Wei Zheming, is a typical high-quality male image. He is handsome and stylish, has a successful career, and is very affectionate towards Tu Xiaoning.
It is no exaggeration to say that through his acting skills, Wei Zheming perfectly integrated Ji Yuheng's gentle, gentlemanly, domineering and other qualities, making this character more three-dimensional and vivid.
In addition, the rivalry scene between Wei Zheming and Zhang Jianing was sparkling and full of cp feeling, making the audience unable to stop watching.
3. Conclusion: A new benchmark for domestic sweet pet dramas
In general, "Secret Romance" is like a breath of fresh air in the current domestic idol drama market. It not only has a compact and attractive plot, but also has wonderful performances by actors. Rejecting suspension and not spreading blood, I believe that with the development of the subsequent plot of this drama, this drama will be able to stand out in the market competition and win the love and recognition of more viewers.
