It can also be seen from these negative reviews how much the audience is looking forward to high-quality dramas. This expectation is not only reflected in the exquisiteness of "Serving the Way", but also in the pursuit of the core of the story.
Last night, the costume drama "Celebrating More Than Years2" returned after five years, and related topics continued to hit the screen. This shows how much attention this show has received. Five episodes have been updated so far, and audiences have received mixed reviews. Some viewers think "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is more like a "situation comedy" and lacks some of the Machiavellian flavor of the original work; others think that the rhythm is tight, relaxed and interesting.
What I have to admit is that after the first five episodes of "Qing Yu Nian 2" were broadcast, there were indeed some flaws in the characterization of some characters. "Qing Yu Nian 1" portrays Emperor Qing as a character who "doesn't care about trivial matters as long as it has nothing to do with the throne." Therefore, in the first two episodes of "Qing Yu Nian 2", the idea that everyone was staring at "Fan Xian faked his death to deceive the emperor" is difficult to stand, because according to the character of "Qing Emperor" himself, he would not care.
When the character "Qing Emperor"'s behavioral logic is incoherent and inconsistent, the interaction between other characters and him will also appear awkward. If "Qing Emperor" loses his charm and behavioral motivations, the audience's understanding of this character will also be confused. In addition to the contradictions in the action logic of individual characters, "Celebrating More Than Years 2" will also cause the entire drama to lose its seriousness due to the increase in comedy scenes and even the excessive length. Some netizens said, "The humor in the first part was natural, but the second part felt like it was concave for the sake of humor."
Judging from the currently aired episodes, there are a lot more comedy scenes compared to the first one. In addition to the comedy plots deliberately laid out by the screenwriter, almost all the characters’ behavioral motivations are tinged with a layer of comedy. color. From Wang Qinian to Fan Xian, to Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, they all have a lot of comedy elements. You may be immersed in the serious plot one second, but become "witty" the next second. This will inevitably make the audience feel disconnected. Although "jokes" objectively increase the fun of watching the drama, they will also weaken the main plot and damage the character creation.
If too much serious plots are treated as jokes, although there are laughs, it will be difficult to see the changes in the values and values of the characters in the story. Each character is like a tool man who only knows how to be clever, let alone the arc of the character. It is difficult for the audience to see the bright spots in the changes in human nature. This is also the main reason why people complain about too many comedy jokes. Comedy jokes that have little meaning or are even repetitive can make people feel tired.
TV series " Qing Yu Nian " is adapted from Mao Ni's novel of the same name. The original work is famous for its grand world view, involving family, rivers and lakes, and temple battles. The intrigue is naturally a highlight. Under the game of various forces, the main focus is still on the conflict between "modern people's thoughts" and "feudal social thoughts", highlighting the highlight moments of human nature in the give-and-take.
Take Baoyue Tower, a side plot in the first five episodes of "Qing Yu Nian 2" as an example. In the original novel, the third prince and Fan Sizhe jointly opened Baoyue Tower because of their feudal ideas, and the two of them had no regrets about the mistakes they made. No repentance. Fan Sizhe believed that "the lives of common people are not life", "the aristocratic children of Kyoto bully men and dominate women" and "don't understand why Fan Xian takes it out on himself".
Audiences in modern society understand that this is the historical limitation of the character. In this regard, Fan Xian, who has modern ideas, "beat up" Fan Sizhe until he wakes up. There are shadows of these "modern" and "feudal" confrontations everywhere in the original work, which is also a highlight besides the court battle. But in the series, Fan Sizhe became an "innocent person" and did not pay much price for it. The "smartness" passed away and the depth disappeared. This made the tearful "The Death of Old Golden Head", which was generally praised by the audience, seem frivolous.
"Qing Yu Nian 1" does not abandon the core of the original work. In addition, "the story of Fan Xian and his fathers" is also a highlight, so the entire drama has a good reputation. Just looking at the first five episodes of "Qing Yu Nian 2" that have been aired, I haven't seen "the interesting chemical reaction between Fan Xian and his fathers" yet. Expectations for watching the show were disappointed, and it was inevitable that some people gave negative reviews.
But at the same time, can also see from these negative reviews how much the audience is looking forward to high-quality dramas. This expectation is not only reflected in the exquisiteness of "Serving the Way", but also in the pursuit of the core of the story. In the past, was just a "lively" drama, which might win the favor of some viewers, but to win the praise of most people, it still needs a spiritual core that conforms to social trends. This requires creators to be sensitive to current social trends and create based on this.
In addition to the plot itself, "Qing Yu Nian 2", which earned a lot of traffic and popularity from its first broadcast, also received complaints about "one ad in every five steps, and a bunch of ads in ten steps." In today's hit dramas, advertisements are relatively common, but they should not fundamentally affect people's drama-watching experience, otherwise the goodwill will turn into disgust, which is not worth the gain.
At a previous advance screening ceremony, starring Zhang Ruoyun said that "Qing Yu Nian 2" can see the growth of the characters, not just Fan Xian, but everyone around Fan Xian is growing up with him. Regarding family, friendship, and love, "I hope everyone can continue to accompany Fan Xian for the rest of the journey." Indeed, the viewers who stayed up late to watch the drama were immersed in it, either moved or laughed, praised or complained, and were all looking forward to this. An excellent work that adds a bright color to everyone's daily life.
