The hottest period for film and television in 2023 is undoubtedly the summer season. In the film market, excellent works are frequently released, from "The Octagon" to "Apotheosis Part 1" to "All or Nothing", all of which have been well received;
In the TV series market, There are a lot of good shows, from "Changfengdu" to "Lotus House" to " Sauvignon Blanc ", Guopu's works continue to work hard, and each one has gained a lot of popularity and reputation.
Now, the winter vacation is here as scheduled, and everyone is also paying attention to how sincere the film market and TV drama market will be during the winter vacation. Unfortunately, in the film market, the National Day and New Year's Day releases have been disappointing, so everyone has to turn their attention to the Spring Festival release.
In the TV drama market, the winter holiday dramas have been launched one after another, and there are two IP works of "Sword and Fairy" from ancient puppets. Unfortunately, "Four of Sword and Fairy" fell into controversy due to the dispute over the casting of male and female leads and the poor condition of supporting actors. Although "Four of Sword and Six" stars two popular actors born in 1995, Xu Kai and Yu Shuxin, its popularity is still not satisfactory.
At this time, everyone can't help but turn their attention to the drama "Long Time Love" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng.
The play tells the story of a group of mature adults who, after more than ten years of ups and downs in the world, looked back and found that the most precious and cherishable friendship and love were scattered on the road. They rediscovered each other and lost each other along the way. Pick up those irreplaceable boyhood friendships.
"Love for a Long Time" is a work that focuses on the topic of youth growth. The work itself has great potential. This type of works, such as "The Best of Us", "Twenty Not Confused" and " Zeng Shao Shao ", etc. have achieved good popularity and reputation. Therefore, everyone is also looking forward to the results of "Long Time Love".
What's more, the starring cast of "Long Time Love" is also very strong.
actress Yang Zi is one of the hottest post-90s actresses in the film and television industry. She has soared to the top with her two hit works " Sweet as Ashes as Frost " and "Dear Love". In 2023 She proved her appeal in the ancient puppet market with her hit work "Sauvignon Blanc".
The male lead Fan Chengcheng is also one of the highly anticipated new generation actors. His performance in the hit drama "Once Upon a Time" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, allowing many viewers to see his potential as an actor. "Long Time Love" is similar in theme to "Once Upon a Time", and it can be considered a work within Fan Chengcheng's comfort zone.
Before the show started airing, "Long Time Love" had high hopes; after it started airing, the show started to go up and down.
"Love for a Long Time" is different from "Love for a Long Time". "Love for a Long Time" is an online drama, while "Love for a Long Time" is a network broadcast. On the first day of the series' launch, the results were not very satisfactory. The show was broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV. The ratings were only around 0.22%, and the ranking was even further behind, ranking tenth.
Now, "Long Time Love" has been aired for many days, and the ratings have not only not increased, but have even continued to decline. It has dropped from about 0.22% on the day of the premiere to about 0.21% now. The ratings curve has a clear downward slope. It can be said that the ratings continue to decline.
Obviously, during the summer vacation, it has won market recognition with its online broadcast of ancient puppet works. Why do the current puppet dramas broadcast during the winter vacation have poor ratings? Some people can't help but question whether Yang Zi is good at ancient dramas, but not modern dramas.
Netizens’ doubts are well-founded, but the target of this doubt should not be Yang Zi, but the film and television drama market. As we all know, antique dolls are always more likely to be popular than modern dolls.
Take a look at the predecessors of 85 Flowers. Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi all opened the market and established a firm foothold with their ancient puppet works. Liu Yifei returned to the TV drama market after more than ten years of absence, and the work that made her famous again was the ancient puppet-themed "Meng Hua Lu".
In the past few years, it has become increasingly difficult for modern idols to make hits. Many modern idol works that can be approved and have some popularity are based on the popularity of the original works and IPs. For example, the movie starring Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan was broadcast some time ago. "Can't Hide Secretly", and "Hard to Coax" which were constantly discussed during the filming period.
Compared with the doubts about whether Yang Zi is suitable for ancient dolls or modern dolls, netizens have another question about Yang Zi that is more noteworthy. Some netizens said that Yang Zi’s performance was “a bit too perfunctory. They are all very homogeneous. I don’t know if it’s because there are so many idol dramas that they have formed a fixed pattern.”
It is understood that the high school Huang Yingzi played by Yang Zi in "Long Time Love" is a carefree girl with a somewhat funny personality. When Yang Zi interpreted Huang Yingzi in this period, she felt like she was using too much force, and the audience could see many shadows of her other characters in her performance.
In "Ode to Joy", Yang Zi played Qiu Yingying with a similar character. When playing Jin Mi in "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost", Yang Zi also added her own understanding and incorporated some of her own personality. Elements, the same is true when playing He Dun in "The Female Psychologist". Everyone seems to see the shadow of Yang Zi himself in the reality show in these characters.
When everyone feels that the emotions and expressions of these characters are very similar after changing their makeup, they naturally feel that the actors' performances are homogeneous. What's more, in the past few years, Yang Zi has been playing in the idol drama market, which will make the audience feel tired and devoid of freshness.
Yang Zi was once praised by the audience for her outstanding acting skills, but when everyone sees the clips that are praised for her acting skills, you will find that they are all scenes with great emotional fluctuations. At this time, many people will praise the actor's "explosive acting skills" because of his dramatic changes in mood.
However, advanced performances are subtractions. When you can use large expressions to express strong emotional fluctuations, on the contrary, when you do not use subtle expressions to interpret huge inner fluctuations, it requires high abilities from the actor. There were so many "explodes" that even the audience didn't buy it.
Perhaps, Yang Zi should step out of her comfort zone and take on more challenging roles. Initially, she entered the idol drama market in order to gain so-called commercial value. Now that she has commercial value, she should re-enter the market of serious dramas and not exhaust her aura in the idol drama market.
Yang Zi faces the problem of serious homogeneity of roles and not much room for her acting skills. This is the dilemma of many popular celebrities now, and will even be the dilemma of 95 celebrities in the future.
Now, whether they are the seniors of 85-year-olds or the juniors of 90-year-olds, they are all actively pursuing transformation and breakthroughs. Some transformation roads have just begun, and some transformation roads have already led to success. We can only continue to Give blessings while looking forward to it.
