On the evening of February 1, the TV series "The Youth of the Peak and Flames" starring Song Yi, Li Jiahang and Niu Junfeng was premiered on PPTV. This is also the first broadcast of the show on a genuine video platform. Earlier, the play had been broadcast on some terrestrial media channels, but the effect of word-of-mouth and ratings was not satisfactory, and it was not enough to make it a terrestrial star. The final choice of PPTV for the show to be broadcast online is also a last resort to destock.
Obviously, youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video are not interested in stock dramas such as "The Youth of the Peak". And even if this TV series landed on the three major video platforms, it was difficult to get too much viewing. On the contrary, it is better to enter the second-line video platform and find another way. Of course, this platform is dominated by live sports, with mostly male users. "Arabian Flame Youth" is more in line with men's drama needs.
play and gun battles have always been an important choice for sports users. "Arabian Flame Youth" puts its narrative background in Shanghai during the Northern Expedition. Under this background, there are naturally continuous gun battles. Therefore, the drama is not different from those anti-Japanese dramas in terms of weather. It's just that in this TV series, in addition to dealing with Japanese spies, it also has to deal with some backward warlord forces. The reason why
does not have to report any high-quality word-of-mouth anticipation for "The Youth with Sharp Flames" is because the quality of their presentation is indeed infinitely close to those anti-Japanese dramas. The so-called gods are mainly the magic of the plot logic, and they even pay no attention to the basic narrative logic. They all hold guns. When they think about it, they come out. Anyway, when the gunshots, there is bound to be no TV drama aesthetic pursuit. The audience goes to see (this sentence, I am my father-in-law).
lacked basic narrative logic in the plot, so the quality of the play was so bad that it was directly included in the so-called anti-Japanese drama series. It stands to reason that the cast of the show cannot be considered bad. In addition to the several leading actors mentioned above, Wu Jinyan also has a cameo of a female bandit in the show, and the drama is not too small. The filming of the play was completed in 2016. At that time, Wu Jinyan had not yet become popular with "Strategy of Yanxi Palace".
At present, "The Flaming Youth of the Sharp" has many young stars such as Song Yi, Li Jiahang, Niu Junfeng and Wu Jinyan. It still has not realized the possibility of being broadcast on the star or landing on the three major legal video platforms. I can only say, The quality of this TV series is really bad. Unreasonable stories, chaotic narrative rules, and random fight stories have already destined this TV series to become a stock drama.
For the show, the only thing to watch is that, in fact, only the big beauty Song Yi is wearing leather pants and driving a motorcycle in the play. This kind of drama arrangement, in fact, is also suitable for male audiences. Anyone who has a little common sense knows that you can't engage in a gun battle while driving a motorcycle in leather pants. It's just a nonsense. However, a large number of male audiences like this kind of black aesthetic atmosphere and the violent aesthetic temperament of this beauty, even if it is very unreal. In the second episode of the play,
realized the "deep excavation" of the big beauty Song Yi, which made her wear leather pants for a 007-style gun battle. However, the audience is obviously used to watching Hollywood popcorn shots, and then facing the "Spider Flame Youth" style pictures, even if there are leather pants, motorcycles, and gun battles, it still feels like chewing wax and quality. too poor.
Looking back at Song Yi's performance, in this TV series, it is still very young, without the current sense of maturity. In "The Flaming Youth of the Sharp", Song Yi, in addition to providing the characters with beauty, really lacks more polished acting skills. Of course, many times, actors have no acting skills in a work, and it really has nothing to do with the actors themselves. Especially young actors, they have no right to speak in the crew, and they have to act as they do if the director asks them to act.
In contrast, Li Jiahang has maintained the level of "Love Apartment". If you like Li Jiahang's comedy performance in "The Apartment of Love", then this "Age of Youth" is undoubtedly a collection of war-torn Shanghai love apartment stories. However, aside from "Love Apartment" and just talk about the show, you will feel that Li Jiahang's nonsensical way of giving the characters seems a bit farce. This way of performing outside of the characters is really not for young actorsThis can be true of any type of drama.
As for Niu Junfeng, he gained a good reputation in acting variety shows last year. However, in this TV series, Niu Junfeng can only act as a butter niche, playing some handsome looks. He did not present the later acting level. Again, the poor performance of the actors is directly related to the director. This pot, you don't have to let the actor carry it by himself.
