"City Within the City" is better because of its strong lineup. With the explosive acting skills of all the talented actors, the ratings have soared. Although " Cheng Huan Ji " has Yang Zi to carry the drama and popularity, its reputation has collapsed all the way. I'm afraid the subsequent ratings are not optimistic.
There are also dramas such as "Live Surgery Room" and "Xi Huazhi". Although they have bright spots, they also have flaws that cannot be ignored. Isn’t there anything that can be done in current dramas?
In fact, the dramas to be broadcast are still full of infinite possibilities, such as " Celebrating More Than Years 2" produced by CCTV. As long as an IP that has laid a solid foundation like this meets the prerequisites of the original cast, the results will definitely be surprising.
and "Harbin 1944" starring Qin Hao , Yang Mi , it is rumored on the Internet that it will land in Taochang on April 21, which really makes the audience look forward to it.
But instead of waiting for the above-mentioned movies, the new drama "When the Stars Shine" came with great force. Taking advantage of the spy war popularity of "Storm Chaser", Hunan Satellite TV's ratings easily exceeded 0.5 in just one day after it started airing, winning the provincial title. Ranked first in TV ratings.
I thought that "When the Stars Shine" would be a big hit and set a new high in the popularity of spy dramas. Unexpectedly, it received negative reviews when it first aired. Netizens gave surprisingly consistent reasons for abandoning the show. What happened to this show?
The plot is outrageous and the logic is confusing
"When the Stars Shine" tells the story of Hua Zhen (Li Xian), who is determined to serve the country as a navy. At his father's birthday party, he was asked by his former school teacher to go to Shanghai to deliver a book Book. But it was such a simple thing that affected Hua Zhen's life.
It is not difficult to see that in terms of storyline, this drama still follows the pattern of spy war dramas from previous years, using the younger generation of passionate youth to unfold the plot. I don’t know if there are regulations in spy war dramas, but always Assign some inexplicable tasks to the male protagonist.
At the beginning of the story, an underground intelligence worker of our party was followed by the investigation captain of the Security Command. In order to hand over the book smoothly, he used his work permit to sneak into the birthday party of the hero's family.
There was also no invitation on the other side, and the investigation captain of the security headquarters who showed his ID refused to let him in. In short, this group of people have to hang out outside the door for a while, allowing the male protagonist and the comrade who sneaked in to catch up before they can go in. The plot behind
is also very confusing. Here, the guard captain is looking for the target person. Over there, he is listening to the male protagonist talking. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry anymore. He must wait for the male protagonist to finish talking about his great ideals, and finally starts to tell the purpose of his visit today. .
After explaining his purpose, he left in no hurry. He talked about life and ideals with the male protagonist, just waiting for the police to arrest him. In order to establish the image of a passionate and patriotic young man for the male protagonist, it is too outrageous to directly turn the exciting chase into an ideal and aspirational speech.
Finally, it was such a coincidence that as soon as the two of them finished chatting, the security captain came to find them, and the time was just right. If not for the fact that today’s TV series count seconds, no matter what kind of critical moment it is, the truth must be explained, otherwise the villain will not appear.
The progression of the story after that is also quite blunt. The male protagonist arrived in Shanghai and found that the couple who wanted to deliver the book were killed, leaving only a little girl staring at the gun with her big eyes and unable to remember the face of the murderer.
That is to say, this paragraph is really outrageous. The murderer has killed so many people. In order not to attract other people's attention, he also chose to slit the throats of the people. But when he got to the little girl, he pointed a gun at her and let her into the house. You Is there any difficulty in reaching out and grabbing a handful? After
, the murderer does not come out, but our male protagonist does. Regardless of the logic of the plot, the little girl and the male protagonist must be saved, otherwise the plot will not work.
It can be said that "When the Stars Shine" is a drama that brings "shock" to the audience as much as the audience expects it. There is really nothing eye-catching in the plot design, and it still continues the past spy dramas. The clichés of war dramas and plots cannot stand up to scrutiny.
However, the most disappointing aspect of this show is actually the outrageous casting.
Ren Min has a good-looking appearance, and Li Xian’s acting skills are too bad
As we all know, spy war dramas test the acting skills and temperament of the protagonists, just like "The Storm Chaser" starring Wang Yibo, Wang Yang, every one of them The leading actors all have remarkable acting skills and good looks.
However, the two leading actors of "When the Stars Shine" are really hard to describe.
Let’s talk about the heroine first, Ren Min.
Perhaps in modern dramas, Ren Min's image can still pass the test, she is relatively clean and pure, and the picture she posted of sweeping a building is also beautiful in a white cheongsam. But in the Republic of China drama, Ren Min's makeup is a bit shocking. Compared with the photos of building sweepers, people can't help but wonder: Is this really a person?
The audience can understand that the director wants to highlight the atmosphere of the times, but under the dim light, Ren Min, who has short hair, looks like she has a big face and a short neck, and has no sense of beauty. Is this the appearance that a heroine in a current TV series should have?
And in the drama "When the Stars Shine", Luo Minmin, played by Ren Min, is a policeman. With her thin body and weak and weak tone of voice, can she really catch bad guys?
Don't tell me, you can really do it. When you participated in the action and saw the team members taking action, Ren Min rushed out immediately. He didn't care whether the cheongsam he was wearing would show off. He just took a big step and ran. No sister, are you cold? Leng, let’s talk about it separately, why do you need to wear cheongsam when arresting suspects? You don’t need to use a honey trap.
The female protagonist is already so unbearable to watch, and our male protagonist Li Xian is even more disappointing to the audience.
Li Xian has achieved good results in urban dramas, and the audience has seen his remarkable acting skills. However, in the spy drama "When the Stars Shine", I don't know whether Li Xian was not involved in the drama or was too nervous. The performance is just one word: installs .
In the farewell scene with Meng Duoci, the little girl acted pitifully. Her big eyes were full of sadness, and tears were rolling in her eyes as she looked at the big brother who fell from the sky to save her, hoping that he would be able to do it again. Reach out to yourself.
What is the reaction of the male protagonist played by Li Xian? Looking at each other expressionlessly, there is no emotion in the eyes, and the inner struggles of the characters are not expressed at all. It is no wonder that netizens said that the little girl acted better than Li Xian. After watching this scene, it is indeed the case.
Conclusion
If a spy war drama wants to gain both popularity and reputation, two highlights are indispensable.
First, the solid script supports , which can play new tricks on the basis of traditional spy war themes, and the plot does not fall into clichés. Just like "Storm Chaser", it uses financial themes to open up a new creative door for spy dramas, and truly achieves both fame and fortune.
Secondly, the leading actor is a powerful actor. As the protagonist who accounts for the most important part in the drama, first of all, he cannot be held back in terms of acting skills. Secondly, he has the best appearance and is good enough to shine.
But from the current point of view, "When the Stars Shine" does not perform very well on these two points. The only place where it can get out of the circle is when talented actors guest star in the drama, adding some valleys to the actors' acting skills, so as not to let the actors down. The whole show is too ugly to watch.
But these powerful actors are not the leading actors after all. Once the scene is over, how many viewers can Li Xian and Ren Min retain just by themselves?
However, "When the Stars Shine" has just aired 4 episodes. I believe that as long as there are fewer logical loopholes in the subsequent plot, the whole process is high-energy online, and the actors' acting skills are getting better, it will not be difficult to get good results.
