On the evening of February 9th, the original video platform of the TV series " ancient secret appointment " was launched, and two episodes were first broadcast. In terms of the quality of the content that has been broadcast so far, the show is basically on the street. Douban currently has one-star or two-star bad reviews. Among these bad reviews, not only satirized the poor special effects of the show, but also mocked the acting skills of Wu Lei , Song Zuer and Wang Junkai.
It is worth noting that the " Mountain and Sea Classics: The Legend of Red Shadows ", which was broadcast in 2016, is also a serious word of mouth as the brother of "The Ancient Secret Treaty". The Douban score of this "Legend of Red Shadow" is only 3.6 points. The screenwriters of the two TV series are the same team. Obviously, this so-called "Shan Hai Jing" series is stretched in terms of scripting ability.
Among the currently broadcasted content of "The Ancient Secret Treaty", the biggest problem is that the main narrative is not clear. The content of the two episodes has changed nearly a hundred times, but only one effective thing is talked about, that is, the queen mother's marriage. The volume of the 45 episodes of this TV series cannot tell the audience what it wants to do in the first two episodes. This is the most common problem in TV dramas that are flat and straightforward. The lack of narrative backbone of
will inevitably result in the lack of a forward impetus for the entire TV series, and it will not form the audience's expectation of chasing the drama. When it comes to the layout of the script, the connection between the bridge and the bridge is seriously insufficient, resulting in an ineffective advancement, and the story is superimposed and repeated seriously, which creates a tired aesthetic acceptance for the audience.
Under the premise that the main line is unknown, the ability of "The Ancient Secret Covenant" to deal with large and small plots is also stretched. In the story world of "The Ancient Secret Covenant", there are no more than these types, one is the human world and the gods world, and the other is the two national races fighting in the human world. This is actually the story structure constructed by "Feng Shen Yanyi" long ago, without any surprises. However, the specific story handling in "The Ancient Secret Covenant" is a complete mess.
As a big plot, this TV series obviously wants to build the contradiction between the gods and the human race through the plot of the first two episodes. But in the specific creation, all the so-called contradictions and conflicts are flooded with chattering lines. Except for the actors' self-proclaimed "We have contradictions", there is no sign of the contradictory tension that the script should really build. The small plot of
is even more confusing. Specifically, in the creation of the bridge segment, a large number of useless segments appeared in the first two episodes of the plot. Film and television scripts should definitely not use useless content to make up the numbers and time, but should be subtracted to inform the audience as little as possible of invalid information, and use as few lines as possible to spread the story. However, in this "Ancient Secret Covenant", everyone is the footcloth of an old lady with little feet. A "conspiracy" of the queen dowager's marriage can make all kinds of talks, even repeated talks. This is a terrible sense of screenwriting. Why is
terrible? Because the screenwriter’s IQ is not online, he suddenly came up with a so-called tactical bridge, for fear that the audience would not understand. Therefore, let the queen dowager and the emperor talk about it, let the person who was given the marriage talk about it with his brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters. If you still don’t understand, just group and talk again. The plots of the two episodes, for the sake of one story point, and unrestricted chattering, make the plot become a binding, smelly and long.
With this, it is not difficult for us to see the problems with the line design of "The Ancient Secret Treaty". It over-prepared the lines and tried to use the lines to make up enough words to complete the time. The biggest problem with these lines is that they are streamlined and cannot accurately express the content of the bridge. Between the bridge section and the bridge section, the dialogue needs to be reversed. This is the case for this section. The lines of the next section have to be turned to another direction. Otherwise, what is the use of changing the section.
At the same time, truly qualified editors know that the lines of the script are not just as simple as the lines. In addition to being concise and concise, they also need to have extraneous meaning. The lines of "Ancient Secret Agreement" are more like children's play-style, lacking these two basic requirements. Especially in the part of the subtext, all the characters’ dialogues have no subtext, which is too much.straightforward. This also causes the normal audience to feel that everyone has a worrying IQ. Of course, this way of designing lines provides children with convenience for chasing dramas, so you don’t need to think about watching such dramas.
However, this kind of mindless look is not the biggest insult to the fan community? Many of our traffic dramas do not even understand the basic rules of script creation, and use children's inferior IQ to create content. This in itself is the biggest challenge to the film and television industry. And letting a large number of popular stars to "coach up popularity" for such a show is actually the biggest extraction of these young actors.
For acting, what needs to be performed is not given by the lines, but the content of the subtext. A passing script, knows how to shape the outside scenes in each scene. And a good actor also knows how to perform content other than lines. On the other hand, "The Ancient Secret Agreement", the script has no subtext at all, it is all pediatric dialogue, how do the actors act?
Based on this, Wu Lei, Song Zuer, Wang Junkai and others can only act with bitter faces. This kind of expressionless face, we mocked as facial paralysis. As everyone knows, the actor is not guilty, and no one can recover this kind of bad script.
