A middle-aged couple restarted their lives after "killing each other", and the setting is good!

Zhao Jinmai & Zhang Linghe Repairing the blood field in the rain, the atmosphere is so strong!

At that time, most netizens felt that the dark horse of "年" was stable. They believed that it could even surpass the main drama " Mo Yuyunjian " and would become another popular dark horse in 2024. potential.

Of course, when the feature film was released, the expectations of the "dark horse" were instantly shattered.

has a negative review that has been recognized by many viewers: is like a child playing house .

After watching the first 6 episodes of "Seven Years", I basically feel that it is not far from the popular negative reviews. Objectively speaking, it is not a "bad drama", and it still has some merits.

For example, the appearance of the male and female protagonists; another example, the setting of multiple people being reborn; the setting of a middle-aged couple falling in love and killing each other and then returning to the youthful era. It is still very popular in domestic dramas, and the jokes are interesting. Considerable.

When it comes to a time-killing movie, "The Year of the Flower" is passable.

But now it is 2024, and the representative works of domestic ancient puppets are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Every year, ancient puppets are mass-produced, with large quantities and high investment. The theme of rebirth has just been released, "Mo Yu Yun Jian".

Under the impact of so many works, the audience's aesthetics are changing, and the requirements for market works are also changing. For dark horse works that want to surprise the public, it is not just good-looking actors and gimmicks that are enough.

What it needs is that the actors should not hold back, and the plot should be stable and strive to break through . These are exactly what "The Years of Life" lacks. This drama failed to capture the enthusiasm of most of the audience, and still fell into common problems. .

Acting skills and persuasiveness

The casting of "Hua Hua Nian" is already considered a top choice in the film and television industry where "old and ugly" are dominated. The heroine Zhao Jinmai is good-looking, and her acting skills are at the forefront among the post-00s florets, even better than those born in the 2000s. Many seniors born in the 1990s and 1995s are solid.

male advocate Ling He is famous for his potential to be exploded (resources have been exploded). At that time, he was ranked as one to be exploded in the eyes of netizens because of his handsome appearance that is not ugly at all.

The handsome men and beautiful women are a delight to watch. The show released several trailers, and netizens couldn't help but start licking them.

Of course, the two protagonists are a perfect match for each other, but they each have their own setbacks.

Zhao Jinmai's embarrassment is that her middle-aged appearance is too "childish", and the first impression given to the audience of a domineering middle-aged princess who has been playing tricks for decades at the peak of her power is too childish, which affects the sense of substitution.

After the heroine was reborn and returned to her girlhood, her suitability was obviously different.

male advocate Ling He's side is the most basic acting problem.

In the play, the male and female protagonists were a young couple married by the emperor in their previous life, and the eldest princess was married to a child from a poor family. Although their union was coerced by external forces, they also had a loving and happy time.

Later, in order to help Mei Zhuma's ex-fiancée, the male protagonist had a quarrel with the female protagonist. The male protagonist was unwilling to explain clearly his feelings for Qingmei and his wife, and the female protagonist was painful and angry because she found out that her husband "loved someone else."

Based on the experience of writing Chapter 7 for most of his life, the male protagonist must have loved the female protagonist in his previous life, because if the male protagonist did not love the female protagonist and really had other white moonlight in his heart, readers would not be able to read the official CP.

But here comes the problem... If the male protagonist truly loved the female protagonist, no matter whether he understood his heart at the time or not, he would never be like this now - facing the female protagonist's accusation, there is no way to tell that he has any feelings for the female protagonist. Love.

can't even see the pain in his heart.

If the sense of substitution of the protagonist is flawed, the persuasiveness of the story will be greatly reduced. At least, for ordinary viewers who do not have a fan filter, they will lose the ability to place the work on the level of surprise or excellence.

Therefore, after the ancient puppet producers selected the Tiancai cast, they should not take it lightly. Makeup assistance, atmosphere creation, and requirements for the actors' acting skills are all indispensable. Anything less is a small flaw, and less variety is a big deduction. item.

Character design and sense of rhythm

The sense of character substitution will affect the audience's first impression, but fortunately, the first episode of "Spring Time" is supported by the show's most exciting couple killing plot. In fact, the problem with the actors is, to a certain extent, Can be covered up by plot.

Unfortunately, after the first episode, the plot of "Hua Hua Nian" began to fall apart without the support of key plots.

The male and female protagonists are too ancient. After

is reborn, you will find that the powerful prime minister who can influence the court is a fool, and the eldest princess who has been at the peak of power for many years is a love brain... Okay, respect the mix of themes and characters.

But it was like that in the previous life. After the male and female protagonists reunited, there was no tense head-banging tension at all... Like many ancient dolls who are sweet pets, they regard spreading sugar as their full time job.

I still remember the classic words of the creator of "The Year of the Flower": "Don't simply define "The Year of the Flower" as an ancient puppet."

The film and television industry is now very resistant to the judgment of ancient puppets, but it is the audience who really want the industry to break away from the settings and styles of ancient puppets. Those who are really obsessed with the ancient puppet settings are precisely the creators who hate ancient puppets.

If you set a pair of male and female protagonists who once stood at the top of power and power, who look young on the outside but are middle-aged at heart, to look far away from maturity on the inside, how can the audience not regard them as ancient puppets?

OK, maybe the screenwriter doesn’t like rebirth slaps in the face and serious atmosphere, so how can he use ancient puppet shells to create exciting sparks?

Of course, it doesn’t.

What follows is basically the daily routine of the male and female protagonists fighting and leveling up, interspersed with quarrels between chicks and puppet-style plotting, and the rhythm is looser than the face of an old eunuch. After following a few episodes, basically except for the first one There is no new explosive point in the collection.

Not only is the tension that the rebirth-themed protagonist can bring when he reopens his account was wasted, but even the atmosphere of the ancient puppet romance is also less appealing because the protagonist's character is clichéd and the plot rhythm is slack.

Audiences who are familiar with the subject of ancient puppets should be familiar with similar situations. Almost all the ancient puppets in series before "Moyuyunjian" have similar problems. In the past, the public also had a name for this kind of work: assembly line ancient Even .

Maybe the show will still be among the most popular dramas in the end because of the freshness of the subject matter and the good looks of the actors, but from the current point of view, it is lucky that the work can stay in the air. The big dark horse that everyone expected before the broadcast was with "Du Hua" "Year" is out of luck.

The Sorrow of the Assembly Line

A work with an assembly line visible to the naked eye will only make people feel that it deserves it. However, an ancient puppet with a very good foundation appears in the form of an assembly line. Even if it can maintain its normal broadcast, it will make people feel that it is a pity. .

Why can’t we go further despite such a good foundation of works?

As an ancient puppet lover, I can't help but feel disappointed every time I see this phenomenon. This time, "Spring Time" happens to be the successor to the main drama "Between Mo Yuyun". The gap between the two dramas makes people feel even more ironic.

Many people don't understand why most netizens question Yu Zheng and hate his opportunism, but Yu Zheng can be like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. The more fierce people criticize him, the more prosperous he is in the film and television industry.

In fact, in many cases it is not that the audience is not determined enough, but that they really have no choice.

For example, "The Years of Life" and "In the Clouds" are both about rebirth.

"Mo Yu Yun Jian" has many flaws. The plot is controversial, the characters are controversial, and the ending even caused a controversy. However, the rhythm of the story and the charm of the theme are firmly grasped.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zheng knows what makes a drama interesting and knows what the audience wants to see.

The exciting points of the heroine being reborn and being slapped in the face are very dense. The CP lines of the male and female protagonists are not supported by the scenes, but are narrated on the basis of the refreshing drama. The screenwriter knows very well where the charm of the subject is, and the provocative CP Where is it?

With different protagonist stories and different story perspectives, you definitely cannot follow other people's routines, but at least you have to know what the essence of this subject matter is that can attract the audience, and what kind of love can really move the audience.

has grasped the two core things of rhythm and plot highlights, and other flaws can be downplayed to a certain extent. However, if these two points are not grasped firmly, not only the flaws will be magnified, but the basic charm of the plot will also be difficult to establish perfectly. live.

Of course, creators can disdain Yu Zhengweiwu, who is opportunistic after understanding the market rules, and conquer the audience with more exquisite and creative stories. This is definitely what the audience expects most and is better for the development of the film and television industry.

But the reality is that most creators, especially ancient puppet creators, feel that the things they make are not clichéd "antique puppets", but the real finished products are not even as good as Yu Zheng's works, which is embarrassing and regrettable.
