's " " at the beginning of this year made the great drama of the era consecrated the gods. The reason for the success of this drama is not only the excellent director's level, and the collection of a group of powerful actors, but also because of its The original itself reflects the true style of an era. Each character of
really exists in a specific era, and audiences who have experienced this era are more able to see their own shadows in them and empathize with their experiences . And this drama portrays a group of ordinary people, without a strong protagonist halo, so that everyone can compliment this great drama of the era.
and the original author Liang Xiaosheng provided a perfect original script, which also made the audience's recognition of his work soar. Now Liang Xiaosheng has launched another masterpiece. Since the theme is inclined to poverty alleviation, it is also a serious drama, and it is also his specialty, so it is hard not to give it high expectations, but I didn't expect this drama to be watched. The
drama was produced in 2011, and now "Accumulation" has finally started broadcasting in 11 years. In today's drama market, there is no outdated phenomenon in terms of subject matter. After all, the same type of work can still arouse widespread repercussions. , "Shan Hai Qing", " warm taste " are very representative plays of the same theme.
But the problem is that "August Osmanthus Blossom" chose the right theme 11 years ago, but lost in the plot and actors.
The plot is cliché, the conflict is deliberate
As soon as the story begins, the mayor and the county mayor are holding an event. All the relocated households have come from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. On the surface, this ceremony is to give all the keys to the villagers. , and give them red envelopes.
is actually the mayor behind his back. Not only did he not call another county mayor who would help these farmers with precision poverty alleviation, but he also made his subordinates promise to the villagers to go down the mountain to participate in this ceremony for the sake of face-saving projects. , everyone can get 500 yuan, but on the other hand, he arranged for the engineering team to go up the mountain to pick up the houses of the villagers.
The original plot was to deliberately create conflict. The mayor ignored the county mayor with a higher official position than himself, and boldly kept the other county mayor in the dark. , also looks like a landowner, not like the behavior of the mayor at all.
and the next development of the plot is also difficult to guess. These villagers will definitely find that the mayor arranges engineering vehicles to pick up houses in the village, which leads to intensified conflicts. The villagers who have already obtained the keys to the new house and decided to move down, Will definitely move back.
But there is no logic in the timeline. The villagers are already in a mess and the situation is out of control. The deputy mayor has just calmed them down and will go to the town for a meeting. After the meeting, when the deputy mayor returned, the villagers began to move things home one after another. Could it be that they were waiting for the deputy mayor to come back and leave in front of her?
The male protagonist has all kinds of problems together. Originally, he was having a party with his classmates on this day. As a result, with this unexpected incident, he was criticized by his wife for failing to make it to the classmates' party. The host didn't say a word, didn't explain, and had to say it face to face. When he arrived at the class reunion scene, he didn't say a word, and the conflict between the two intensified again.
In order to highlight the hard work of the male protagonist, there are no people inside and outside, and he simply does not let go of any possibility to make him look extraordinarily hard. His wife dislikes him for not coming to the class reunion, and he can't control the children, and the children's academic performance is not good. At work, the mayor does not take him seriously, and the poverty alleviation work cannot be carried out.
is just the beginning of the plot, people can't feel how difficult the hero is, but it will backfire, making people feel that the hero's ability is average and can't handle everything well. However, in order to shape his bright and upright character, the play also allowed him to stage a scene of going up the mountain with the villagers on his back.
Although these storylines may also happen in real life, at the moment when film and television dramas seek innovation and change,Such a perfunctory and clichéd work that you can guess the ending just by looking at the beginning is really unflattering, and I can believe that this is a work written by Liang Xiaosheng.
The actors' acting skills are serious, and the characters are the same. The problem of the plot is that on the one hand, the actors' acting skills also hold back the show. For example, the male protagonist Yin Xiaotian always has an expression in the play, frowning and looking preoccupied. Going to the town to do work, facing the villagers, facing the mayor, all have the same expression, even being criticized by his wife, it is like listening to a report.
and the deputy mayor played by the heroine Fu Jing does not look like a parent official at all, but looks like an intern no matter how you look at it. Sitting in this position, you should at least have the ability to deal with problems. When encountering emergencies, you should think about solving the problem first, instead of roaring.
In the early episodes, when dealing with the issue of villagers' relocation, she first yelled at the mayor, then ran outside the village and yelled at the secretary, but when she needed her emotional outbursts, she sat in the seat. at every turn. When the villagers found out that the town mayor tricked them into going down the mountain was a pretense and made trouble at the relocation ceremony, everyone was arguing, but he sat in a daze.
Xu Baihui 's acting skills were not a big problem originally, but in the past two years he has appeared in too many works of the same type, the appearance in the play has not changed, and the acting mode is exactly the same, it is difficult to bring freshness to everyone. Comparing her performance in "The World", the gap comes out naturally.
Originally, these actors were able to stand up in other dramas, but in this drama they became a hindrance. Mainly because the characters they play are too cookie-cutter. For example, the mayor played by Yin Xiaotian must have a discordant family and face various problems and contradictions in the officialdom. He is busier than the mayor. When
dealt with villagers' problems, walking back with the villagers became the highlight moment of the protagonist, but such a plot setting is too weak to support the image of the characters close to the people.
And the deputy mayor played by the heroine is portrayed as a brainless character. All questions are communicated directly with the county magistrate. After making a phone call with the magistrate, he shouted and quarreled with the secretary. Long complained, completely unable to reflect his own ability.
and the wife played by Xu Baihui also don't make people see any freshness, never understand the husband's work, and always blame the husband for the poor grades of the children. Is it only possible to shape such a wife to highlight the selfless dedication of her husband?
can only say that "August Osmanthus Blossom", as a backlog drama, has lost on the starting line from the very beginning. Even today, when the theme works are more popular, it will not help.
