Recently, the TV series "New World" is currently on the air. Long before the show started, it aroused the expectation of many audiences who love period dramas. Many people said that this may usher in another one. The rise of high-quality domestic dramas. When it comes to "New World", you have to mention the "Red" many years ago, and "Red" has always been a classic drama that people talk about, and the Douban score is as high as 9.2. Naturally, this new work "New World" written and directed by Xu Bing, the "Red" screenwriter, is bound to attract attention, and judging from the previous preview, the play is grand and has a good texture. However, as the plot developed, more and more negative comments appeared. The

9z episode only played for seven days?

"New World" focuses on the story of betraying the brothers Jin Hai, Tie Lin, and Xu Tian in Beiping on the eve of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. It tells the story of the three brothers in the process of changes in the times, in the conflict of family affection, love, and personal beliefs. Of different options. The theme of "Three Brothers" can be said to be very eye-catching, and the three leading actors Sun Honglei, Zhang Luyi and Yin Fang are also well-deserved capable actors. Back then, the TV series "The Pretender", which was also based on the story of the three brothers, once ushered in a big fire, and the three male actors also immediately aspired the ranks of first-line actors through the show. Many viewers said that the broadcast of "New World" may re-enact the grand occasion of "The Pretender" that year.

However, with the broadcast of the series, "New World" has received a lot of negative reviews, the most of which is: the plot is delayed and the rhythm is too slow. When "New World" was just aired, Xiaoduo, played by Dongyu Zhou, was assassinated by "Little Red Coat" and received a box lunch. I thought it would soon enter the key plot, but I didn't expect it to be 34 episodes. Not over the "first seven", that is to say, the 34 episodes lasted for almost seven days.

"New World" has a total of 70 episodes, and the stories of these seven days accounted for almost half, and some netizens even joked that they would not miss any important plots when they went to grab a takeaway and have a meal and continue watching. It seems that it has become a major flaw in "New World" today. In today's "fast era", audiences tend to prefer fast-paced stories, and the way of talking like "New World" has wiped out the interest of many audiences.

Is the protagonist not lovable? In addition to the procrastination of the plot, there are some audiences who are not satisfied with the protagonist's character. Xu Tian, ​​played by Yin Fang, can be regarded as the leading actor in this play, and Yin Fang also vividly portrays the image of a small policeman in Peking. However, many viewers felt that he was just a "stunned young man", and he acted very impulsively. Even only a few words from Tian Dan, who met for the first time, suspected that Jin Hai, played by Sun Honglei, killed him. Woman little flower. And Tielin, the second elder brother played by Zhang Luyi, is also all about getting promoted and getting rich.

From the current point of view, this kind of brotherhood seems to be moving only because the elder brother Jin Hai deals with the mistakes of the two younger brothers every day behind the scenes, and silently bears the doubts of his younger brother Xu Tian. The two younger brothers "pitted" the elder brother time and time again, which made many viewers look furious, saying that they did not understand why the elder brother Jin Hai, who has status and status, would worship these two younger brothers.

Actually, the director's intention is very obvious. It is to portray Xu Tian as a "growth male protagonist" to show the changes of young people in the new era. This persona implies hope and the new world. But audiences don't like this set too much. "Perfect male protagonist" has long become the unifying trend of film and television works. Naturally, everyone is not acceptable to this kind of male protagonist who is full of shortcomings.

Can "New World" continue the light of "Red"?

bears the expectations of many loyal audiences of period dramas, but the evaluation of "New World" has appeared to be high and low. Now the score of Douban has been falling. However, apart from some of the slots mentioned above, overall, the production of "New World" is still very good.

Whether it is the portraits of the characters or the surrounding environment, the TV series vividly restore the orange clouds and the turbulent city of Beiping on the eve of the founding of New China. The lines and shots in the play are also very particular, and the actors all speak authentically in the play. ofPeking in the Beijing dialect is also quite literary.

In fact, so far, "New World" has buried a lot of suspense, whether it is the true identity of the "Little Red Coat" who killed Xiaoduo, or the future fate of the three brothers, it is worth looking forward to. At the same time, there are many metaphors in the play. For example, in one episode, the three brothers left the Forbidden City, the eldest brother Jin Hai went to Nanchizi, the second brother Tielin went to the Meridian Gate, and the younger brother Xu Tian went to Tiananmen Square. This probably also indicates that They have different life choices in the future. In this way, the 70-episode "New World" may still have a good show to come. Whether it can continue the light of "Red" is still inconclusive. The audience still needs to wait and see. What do you think?
