It is said that big dramas should be watched by the main station, but with the bleak data of the summer season, it seems that even CCTV is helpless.

Except for the early hits of " Celebrating More Than Years 2" and " Rose Story", the subsequent annihilation was probably something no one expected.

The reputation of " Little Couple " has been greatly improved, and "A Bright Future" has completely failed to meet expectations. I thought that the TV drama market would be even less interested in the back-to-school season.

But CCTV really couldn't sit still anymore and directly threw out two trump cards -

Noon Sunshine's "Mortal Song" and " Snow Maze " produced by Zhang Yimou. The two works

occupied the entire prime time of the Central Eighth Television. As expected, the data also soared and took the top three in ratings.

Although it seems that "Snow Maze" is a little less powerful, you must know that this drama is only broadcast around 9:30 in the evening, and the peak value of breaking 1 has made other online dramas unattainable.

are two popular works at the moment. The production team is equally strong and the lineup is also good. Who can be called the title of drama king and who is slightly inferior?

"Mortal Song"

It is divorced from reality and the plot is suspended

To be honest, the overall quality of "Mortal Song" is much better than most urban dramas nowadays, and the acting skills of the actors are also very good.

However, the setting of this drama is simply too speechless.

Although the title of the drama is " Mortal Song ", the people in the drama are not "extraordinary" at all.

The male protagonist is the vice president of the company. He has a house and a car in Beijing, his wife is a full-time housewife, he has a son and a daughter, and he has a nanny.

I lived such a comfortable life as a child, but in the end I met a big boss and became a monk.

The hero’s younger brother is a graduate student at Tsinghua University.

After graduation, he directly entered a large factory and became a programmer with an annual salary of one million.

Every day when I open my eyes, I see a roll.

My younger brother’s girlfriend is very picky when looking for a job in Beijing. After working overtime for a few days,

finally couldn't help but want to defend her rights. As a result, her boss wanted to fire her in anger.

This sister: It wasn’t you who shot me, it was me who shot you!

left without saying a word. He didn’t even think about salary or compensation, and he didn’t care about what he would do in the future.

The younger brother of the heroine, a civil servant in Beijing.

bought groceries and cooked for his girlfriend, and bought a cemetery for his mother. However, he was looked down upon by his wife for being content with the status quo.

forcibly labeled his girlfriend as someone who "dislikes the poor and loves the rich". While she was having trouble with her boss, she went home feeling dissatisfied with her husband.

How can the characters be so flat? The female characters are obviously bad, but most of the male characters are preferred.

Even the male characters who are said to be "stingy" are not really stingy.

The male protagonist, who has different opinions about "housewives", also has a family-oriented character who loves his wife.

This is also an old problem in most of Noon Sunshine’s works.

Programmers with an annual salary of one million, company vice presidents and Beijing civil servants can all be given the title of "mortal".

This can tell how real "mortals" live.

can easily amount to hundreds of thousands or even millions, but the problem is that these people’s salaries, such as 400,000 or 800,000, can be saved in just a few years. It is not a problem to work hard and save for a year.

In order to create conflicts among the characters, the only way to do this is to lay off the vice president who cannot find a job, and let the wife who is used to a wealthy life set up a stall.

causes programmers to have a psychological shadow and cannot work, and also makes people who have finally been admitted to civil servants cut off the world of life and live in seclusion in Nanshan.

Isn’t this funny?

If these people can’t find a job, or they just quit after being admitted as civil servants, how can the audience in front of the screen survive?

As soon as the key plot is reached, the IQ drops off and the protagonists can only passively accept the debt and have to quarrel within the routine.

looks like it will arouse discussion among netizens. It would be best if everyone can quarrel over the fictional characters in a drama, so that the popularity will rise.

To be honest, it really made me sleepy and extremely boring.

"Snow Maze"

is thrilling and exciting, and the more you watch it, the more addictive it becomes.

is the highlight of the sequel to " Bianshui Past Events ".

After watching the first few episodes of "Snow Maze", I really felt the director's handwriting in it.

The story progresses rapidly, and the storytelling technique has a blockbuster-level look and feel.

lens language is very advanced, and many of the transitions are comparable to the god-level production of " The Long Season ".

does not have any sloppy and ineffective plot. Judging from the previous episodes, one main case connects other branches together.

At the beginning, two lives were thrown directly in front of the public.

The two brothers who originally wanted to take advantage of others were unexpectedly killed by the murderer. In the end, one of them was holding on to the edge of the window and was in danger. The other of them struggled with the murderer and was killed with a knife.

From their previous conversations, it can be seen that these three people are related to drugs.

This was nearly thirty years ago in the Northeast, and the methamphetamine spread from the south finally began to become popular.

is more convenient to produce and can be absorbed in more diverse ways, which creates more trouble for the anti-drug police.

While investigating clues, Gu Yiran ( Wang Ziqi ) found his dead sister at home.

Sister’s body was covered with circular scars, and her face was full of vicissitudes of life, and she fell weakly at the table.

Apparently, the death was caused by drug abuse.

Before he could immerse himself in sadness, Gu Yiran was transferred to the Northeast to work with the male protagonist Zheng Bei ( Huang Jingyu ).

The huge cultural differences form a sharp contrast, and there are many laughs in the performances of the two male protagonists.

Despite the intense excitement, the audience can also breathe a little sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, they found the security guard of the community where the crime was discovered.

At first, the security guard did not tell the truth. Later, the police found his shoe prints.

found the security guard again, and he tremblingly told the story of that day.

In fact, the security guard heard the sound of their fighting, but he was too weak to enter the house.

After it was over, the security guard went in and found a body at the door. He wanted to enter the room and drag another person up, but he didn't expect that the other person had lost his strength and consciousness and fell to death in front of him.

Key figures are constantly being added, making the case bit by bit fuller and more realistic.

But every time a detail appears inadvertently, you can really feel that it is definitely more than that.

When the audience becomes interested and wants to watch more and more, the whole drama will be revitalized.

Conclusion

In fact, from the comparison of "Mortal Song" and "Snow Maze", we can also understand the state of competition between the two themes.

Once upon a time, urban themes were the best among domestic dramas that no one could surpass.

This kind of work is easy to shoot and perform, but as the audience's aesthetic appreciation improves, everyone no longer likes to watch this kind of suspended and exaggerated work without any practical significance.

As for the crime theme, even if the acting is not interesting, as long as the plot is online, the audience will be able to ignore the bugs in the drama.

And perhaps it’s time for the noon sun to find a new way out.

From "Meeting Time" to the last three seasons of " Ode to Joy", and then to "Welcome" and "Mortal Song", the actors were selected well, but they failed to bring out the best of the actors themselves.

Of course, it would be unfair to conclude now.

Both dramas are currently on the air. Let’s wait and see who will have the last laugh!
