The TV series "Lost Laughter", which was first broadcast for a week, was updated to episode 15, but the cumulative views were only 22.99 million, which is surprising. For a popular idol drama, this number is undoubtedly a shocking low. What is it about this show that makes it so

The TV series "无笑", which premiered for a week, has been updated to episode 15, but the cumulative views are only 22.99 million, which is shocking. For a popular idol drama, this number is undoubtedly a shocking low. What is it about this show that makes it so unpopular?

1. Boring plot

"Laughter" was not available as soon as it was released. Is it because traffic stars such as Lin Yi and Shen Yue can't attract fans? In fact, no, those fans will naturally follow the show as soon as it is released, but this show is so boring that fans don’t want to follow it anymore.

Fans actually don’t have high requirements for popular dramas, as long as they are interesting and sweet enough. However, "Lost Laughter" couldn't even meet the basic requirements, so it was normal for it to be rejected.

"Laughter" is a TV series based on the novel serialized on Douban. In recent years, dramas adapted from Douban's novels have become very popular, and the ratings are not low. Douban's dramas adapted from novels are much better than Jinjiang's purely idol-style dramas.

But in "Lost Smile", it seems to have returned to the old-fashioned idol drama style.

The heroine played by Shen Yue is Gu Yi, a full-time housewife who is an editor of a fashion magazine during the day and a talk show actor at night. The beginning is that she chatted with the police sister for a long time because she couldn't find her lost bicycle. This part made a lot of people complain, thinking she was silly and not like an adult.

The male protagonist played by Lin Yi is Liang Daiwen, a cutting-edge designer. In fact, he cannot understand other people's emotions, so the doctor suggested that he watch more literary and artistic works, such as romantic dramas and talk shows. Then he went to Gu Yi's club to watch the show. Because he never smiled, everyone called him the "talk show assassin."

Because Gu Yi desperately wanted to make Liang Daiwen laugh, their contact increased. Liang Daiwen was infected by Gu Yi's optimism, and feelings developed between the two. But the plot is too cliche and really uninteresting, attracting many new viewers.

And those viewers who are looking forward to watching "Lost Laughter" want to watch the kind of idol drama that is funny and sweet. Because the heroine in the play is a talk show actress, she uses talk show to cure the male protagonist's emotional problems. However, the talk show performance in the play is really embarrassing. The jokes are all forced, not funny at all, and even boring. The director and screenwriter of this show’s understanding of talk shows is truly speechless.

The scene layout in the play, such as the talk show venue, seems too casual, with dark lighting, few chairs, and the stage design of the 1980s, which cannot be compared with today's talk shows.

Due to problems with the script, the heroine in "Lost Laughter" did not bring a sense of comedy to the audience. The whole plot is boring, the narrative rhythm is messy, it is forced to advance, and useless plots are added without a story. In the end, the audience couldn't even understand the story.

TV series are meant to tell stories, but "Lost Laughter" lost the story, and the audience had no idea what it was going to say. The screenwriter may have been confused halfway through writing and didn't know how to proceed. The audience lost their expectations for the plot, and the whole show completely collapsed. So it's no surprise that the show's ratings are so low.

2. Poor acting skills

Also, the performances of Lin Yi and Shen Yue are also one of the main reasons why this drama failed to hit the market. The first thing to confirm is that the script of "Lost Laughter" is terrible, but this cannot be the reason why Lin Yi and Shen Yue delivered such poor performances.

Shen Yue is very important in the play. She has to rely on her performance to add comedy effect to the play. However, her comedy performance was really poor and she didn't look like a professional stand-up comedian at all, which affected the comedy expression of the entire show.

Let’s talk about Lin Yi, his performance is even worse. Although he has many fans, his acting skills are really not good. In the play, he plays a male protagonist with an emotional disorder, but he acts like a facially paralyzed robot. He was supposed to show the male protagonist's emotional disorder, but he simply put on an expression and had no acting skills at all.

In fact, characters with emotional disorders should give actors a lot of room to perform. For example, after the male protagonist listens to a talk show, he wants to laugh but cannot. At this time, the actor must show this "blocking". But Lin Yi showed no such "blocking" at all, and his performance made people think that he was a person with no acting skills.

Some fans are still clamoring, don’t watch it if you don’t like it. This kind of fans are really the enemy of the marketization of TV series. Because they made such a fuss, the show became annoying to passers-by and no one wanted to watch it. It can only be said that this drama has such ratings because fans are asking for mercy.
