"Wuxin" is really nothing "new" this time! The suspense IP is sluggish, "Wuxin Mage 3" was ridiculed by the audience

The broadcast of the first "Wuxin Master" in 2015 was called "the new benchmark for web dramas" by the audience.

Five years later, as the third work of the same series of IP, "Wuxin Master 3" was broadcast. Even the protagonist could not stop the audience from complaining. "It’s not comparable to the first one."" "Left Feelings"...

, ​​as a drama series IP featuring suspense + fantasy, the "Wuxin Master" series has been sought after by many audiences, especially the first "Wuxin Master" was launched in 2015, and it is also in the ascendant of domestic web dramas. At the moment, it gave the audience a bright impression.

"Wuxin Master 3" moved the background of the story to the Tang Dynasty. When the suspenseful fantasy atmosphere merges with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the gorgeous and charming atmosphere that comes to the face is still quite charming, but in order to blindly pursue the fantasy and suspense atmosphere , But ignored the well-polished and rigorous script story, making many plots appear rushed, and the details are even more rough... All the signs combined, a sense of "basic" can no longer be concealed.

5 years ago, the success of "Wuxin Master" relied on its obvious superiority in texture compared with other dramas of the same period; 5 years later, as the third work of the series of IP, let alone its style The content is still in place, and even the ability to tell a good story is lost. It’s not difficult to understand why the audience feels "disgusted". For creators, the style should always serve the content, otherwise it will be brilliant. The style can only be "unintentionally" perfunctory by the audience.

content: more like the low-profile version of "Detective Di Renjie"

"Wuxin Mage 3" can be regarded as the prequel of the "Wuxin Mage" series, it also continues the "Wuxin IP" consistent fantasy color, telling the folk hunting of monsters in the Tang Dynasty Story: In the turbulent times of the Tang Dynasty, the powerful and the people are struggling unwillingly. The demon master Wuxin (played by Han Dongjun) encounters Liu Qingluan (played by Chen Yao) and Liu Xuanhu (played by Chen Yao), Wuxin and Qing Luan teamed up to solve a series of bizarre incidents and cherished each other... From the current update to the plot, "Wuxin Master 3" is a unit drama to spread the story, almost every two episodes tells a case of catching monsters. Then in the process of solving the case, cultivate the emotional entanglement between the hero and the heroine. But what is helpless is that this time, while dropping demons and eliminating demons, while experiencing the story of love and being loved in the world, I still haven't returned to the level of the first book, especially the few cases presented, there is almost no suspense, nothing. The fantasy gimmick is still about some cliché cases. Watching unintentionally catching the monster and solving the case is like watching the low-end version of "Detective Di Renjie."

Plot: The story of solving the case is rough, and the bugs continue to be

The roughness of "Wuxin Master 3" is first manifested in the narration of the story of solving the case, almost all of them are traditional flat and straight narration. Take the first case of solving story as an example: telling Shuling as an apprentice A cliché plot of revenge. In addition to the rough storytelling of the case, "Wuxin Mage 3" is also full of logic bugs that cannot stand scrutiny. For example, in the play, Chen Yao played the two siblings of Liu Qingluan and Liu Xuanhu, and the results were the same. They were distinguished only by dubbing. Moreover, the voices of the two siblings were excessively differentiated, which would even make many people suspect that the team is It's not time to wear hearing aids. There are also loopholes in the plot. For example, in the first episode, Wuxin met Liu Xuanhu and suspected that the murderer was related to Liu Xuanhu, so he followed all the way, but was eventually discovered by Liu Xuanhu. Because of the emptiness of the crime-solving story, the director filled it with humorous plots, watching Wuxin mage and various characters gag, but dilutes the suspenseful reasoning, and the seemingly technical additions are eroding the appeal of the story itself.

relying on consumer fan sentiment to lie down to win, has long been unworkable

I have to say, "Wuxin Mage 3" has a reputational failure, it is precisely in the verification industry that many production mentality and production styles are outdated.

has created the "Wuxin Master" IP of the Tang Dynasty film and television. It has produced classic works such as "The Legend of the Sword and Fairy", "Scary Step by Step", and "Xuanyuan Sword", but from last year's "Menghui" to the present "Wuxin" "Mage 3", a strong sense of obsolescence, made fans of the show want to cry without tears. And like the Tang people’s production thinking that eats their laurels and consumes the feelings of fans, in fact, these years are still popular in the industry, but the producersThey have forgotten that solid and sincere creation is the magic weapon that really attracts the audience, and hope that the old man would "lie down and win", it will not work.

Of course, I still return to the IP itself of "Wuxin Mage". In fact, it still has potential and space worth tapping. Especially the hero Wuxin Mage, the helplessness of being trapped by fate, and the obsession to resist destiny, can actually cause the current Urban men and women resonate, and this spirit of resistance is also the core theme of many film and television creations. If the series of "Wuxin Master" has a continuation, then you need to sink your heart to dig out the theme and the practical significance of the theme, so that the fate of film and television characters can extend to the depths of the hearts of real audiences. Such creative ideas and ideas, This is the way out for the old IP to continue new life.
