On the evening of September 6, the TV series "Ordinary Glory" Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV broadcast the third and fourth episodes. After four episodes, the TV series showed a good reputation but the ratings did not rise. According to Kuyun's real-time ratings data, the ratings of "Ordinary Glory" are not as good as "In the Name of Family" and "Qipao Beauty Detective". This is a very noteworthy thing.
In terms of the plot content of the four episodes that have been broadcast so far, "Ordinary Glory" can be called a good quality TV series. Especially when it appears as a workplace drama, many of the segments in this TV drama are very real. We can even come up with a lot of bridges to make a direct analogy with the real workplace. Obviously, this TV series handles the details very well and can give the audience a real sense of the workplace.
The current ratings status of this TV series does not have any explosion. It stands to reason that the ratings of this very real workplace drama should have broken 1% earlier, but "Ordinary Glory" has been broadcast for three days, and it hasn't shown this kind of weather. In terms of Kuyun real-time, the ratings data given is still relatively embarrassing. In terms of China’s audiovisual big data, the General Administration of China will have to wait two days for the average ratings of the first data interval of the TV series to be released. But it is speculated that the results will not be too good.
is not popular, "Ordinary Glory" must have some "problems". I personally think that the problems of this TV series can be boiled down to two points in one sentence, "the professionalism is too strong, and the story is too bad." Let me talk about the first point, too professional. The professionalism here refers to the workplace content of investment banks. This career story with investment banking work as the background seems to be too unfamiliar to the audience. The average audience has no access to this field. This is an important reason for setting restrictions on the audience.
We can watch other workplace dramas. For example, workplace dramas with medical and nursing themes are often the easiest to show up. why? Because the audience is familiar and unfamiliar with the profession of doctors and nurses. What is familiar is that I often see, come into contact with, and what is unfamiliar is that I am relatively unfamiliar with scenes other than doctors, nurses and patients. For another example, "Settling Down" by Liuliu screenwriter, the story of selling a house, also allows the audience to have an effective emotional intervention, so it can become a hit.
In contrast to this "Ordinary Glory", this subject matter only has an emotional intervention for professionals. The general audience is not familiar with the working environment of this investment bank, and even lacks innate goodness or even bad feelings for the staff in this field. Obviously, peer content is the unpopular content in workplace dramas. From the perspective of expanding the territory, "Ordinary Glory" did a good job, but from the perspective of audience perception and emotional intervention, the show really suffered too much.
At the same time, the story design of "Ordinary Glory" is still slightly lacking. The main reason is that the screenwriter does not tie buttons effectively. A TV series is composed of countless large plots, and each large plot is composed of many small plots. We can first take "An Jia" as an example. Each house selling story is a big plot, and behind this house selling story are small plots.
In contrast to "Ordinary Glory", the story of every investment project can be regarded as a big plot, and the segments that appear to form this big plot become small plots. In "Ordinary Glory", the big plot itself lacks connection with the audience. For example, the success or failure of an investment case has little to do with the audience. To put it more bluntly, ordinary viewers have a not positive attitude towards the capital operation of play investment.
In the specific arrangement of small sections, "Ordinary Glory" is not enough to form a stronger story expectation of the big plot. The so-called story expectation is that the screenwriter continues to button the audience to make the audience look forward to the next content. After the four episodes of the play, an effective main story line has not been formed, and the audience cannot expect an unknown plot. This is a technical problem of the screenwriter, which can be improved through script correction. Unfortunately, the dramas I have seen so far have not been perfected in this respect.
We can also give a positive example of "Ordinary Glory". For example, in a bowl of fresh investment negotiations, It forms an effective plot expectation. This plot story is better than other content. why? Because of this plot story, the screenwriter came up with buttons, and the boss talked to the male lead so that he must take the case. And then, there was the formation of the male lead, and the interns were sent out. Even the heroine played by Qiao Xin, the mission is hidden to prevent the audience from knowing, forming a bigger story expectation. Later, the tasks of the interns are clear, and the tasks of the heroine are exposed. These contents directly affect the negotiation between the male lead and Yiwanxian. In the end, the negotiations entered a deadlock, giving this plot a good turning point and overall story attack.
is the information returned by the mobile phones of the interns in the formation, allowing the male main force to turn the tide and directly win a bowl of fresh food. And the ending tail of this story is that the second man has not returned yet, and it needs some ending progress. The narrative of this big story is the correct narrative of inheritance and transformation, forming what is expected to be interesting. But such cases are too few in "Ordinary Glory", so this TV series cannot form an effective plot expectation.
"Ordinary Glory" is very good in detail, obviously it has been carefully collected. However, in the specific story layout, the technicality of the screenwriter is too poor to construct an effective storytelling mode. TV dramas are still based on stories. If you can't tell an interesting story, the ratings are relatively weak.
