The modern drama market in the first half of 2024 was completely misfired.
This surprised many viewers. Works such as
are often written by people from the Mesozoic generation who are highly popular among the people. The data should be correct, but the so-called "hard food" is almost always loud and clear.
For example, "大江大河3", the broadcast effect is not bad, but for the high-quality IP of Noon Sunshine, it is still lagging behind.
Another example is "City within a City".
A Chinese drama with a leading actor and a cast of characters, and was promoted with great fanfare. However, in the end, the plot became more and more off-kilter. It was a radically changed version of a middle-aged idol drama that made people laugh and cry.
It turns out that no matter whether it is a strong production team or a powerful veteran actor, they will be at a loss when encountering modern dramas.
But from this point of view, is it really impossible for this type of subject matter to stand out this year?
Sure enough, seeing that the summer season has arrived, CCTV has finally made a move -
"Dream City" has been scheduled for the 9th, and will be succeeded by " Haitian Eagle " at the prime time tomorrow night on CCTV, to interact with the audience. Meet.
Director Bai Lin, who participated in the creation of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", is paired with a group of powerful Mesozoic people. This time, CCTV is going to create a ratings miracle again!
It must not be that simple to be in Xing Yangyi’s workplace drama.
still remember the previous " City of Youth " by Qin Hailu . The core of the plot revolved around the development of intelligent robots.
"Dream City" focuses on big data.
keeps up with the times and feels the progress of China's science and technology while watching dramas. It can not only kill time, but also increase knowledge and correct ideology. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
This will also be a very popular work for CCTV audiences.
The male protagonist Luo Chengyu (played by Yang Shuo) is a code farmer (worker) at a foreign-funded data company in Jiangnan City. The technology monopoly of foreign-funded companies and the repeated oppression of interests made Luo Chengyu, who had always had a dream, finally unable to bear it.
This is a game of capital. He is just a small chess piece, but it is really limited in the field of big data that has just started in China.
It was also because of the parent company's forbearance that Luo Chengyu had a conflict with Chu Ange (played by Jiang Xin) who was parachuted into the management position.
Despite the strong objections of his girlfriend Jiang Yifei, Luo Chengyu slapped his thigh and left the company.
However, as the male protagonist of a workplace drama, how could he run away in despair? He led his team to resign collectively and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
This road is extremely bumpy. After all, it is an emerging industry, and it will definitely encounter various sinkholes.
experienced a life-threatening stumbling block from a business rival and was betrayed by his brother and girlfriend one after another.
The male protagonist and the old enemy female protagonist went from fighting each other to getting to know each other and then falling in love. Under the protection of various policies and officials of Jiangnan City, as well as the support of patriotic e-commerce giants, the
team worked together to break the foreign technology monopoly.
emerged from this business war and successfully built an international big data company.
What attracts me most about this drama is its narrative on the big data business war.
This is a difficult subject matter for business war dramas, and it is also an industry that is closely related to most audiences and is somewhat unpredictable. If
can pass "Dream City" and make online life more standardized, the ratings of CCTV will definitely increase.
This kind of serious drama would be difficult for the audience to get involved if it were not for the Mesozoic generation who is well-connected with the audience.
After all, the overall atmosphere is not as relaxed as that of urban dramas, and it is impossible to completely fall into love and love. Once it cannot sustain the aura of business war, it will completely collapse.
However, when I saw Jiang Xin’s name, my hanging heart immediately fell to the ground.
I have to say that it does take some strength to be able to reach the first prime stage of Xingyang.
Last time it was Qin Hailu, this time it is Jiang Xin. Only actors with good reputation and good acting skills can have the chance to appear.
The role of Chu Ange is not introduced too much, but judging from the stills, she is an extremely down-to-earth strong woman.
With neat short hair, light makeup, and a good complexion, coupled with low-key and simple outfits, she not only has the style of a professional elite, but also shows the delicate and soft side of life. I somewhat expect that this role will be similar to Jiang Xin’s previous portrayal. How are the characters different.
The person who formed a CP with Jiang Xin was Yang Shuo.
I don’t know why, but when I see the names of two people, I always feel that they match each other inexplicably.
The biggest controversial point about Yang Shuo is the "greasyness" in his acting. From the trailer, it can be seen that this brother has restrained himself a lot.
In addition to the two leading actors, Cheng Taishen’s appearance is also particularly surprising.
There are not many shots in the short film, but once he appeared, the smell of a veteran cadre was already palpable, and every move was filled with a sense of decency and restraint.
This character should have a lot of scenes with the male and female protagonists, and there may even be conflicts. I don’t know what kind of textbook acting skills he will contribute.
Cheng Yu, a national first-class actor, should not need to be introduced too much.
As soon as you put on the glasses, put your hands behind your back, and open your mouth, you can see the character's rich knowledge reserve and good education. After all,
is already a "battle-hardened" veteran drama actor, and modern dramas are naturally out of the question.
It is worth mentioning that there are many young actors in "Dream City" with online acting skills.
Zhou Fang is one of them. Fengxia in "The Glory of Our Fathers" is still fresh in people's minds. She has no image baggage at all and is really open-minded.
In "Dream City", she kept her straight bangs. I wonder if there can be some contrast.
Clara actually came too. This time she didn’t have any large-scale pictures. She was dressed in a Shanghainese style, and her body curves were outlined just right.
I don’t know what role this character plays in the entire drama, and whether he will appear with original lines.
Conclusion
CCTV dramas always make the audience feel refreshed.
Although most of the themes chosen by Yang Yi are not popular, the achievements in broadcasting are still very impressive.
It has to be said that Yang Yi’s grasp of the story is very solid and reliable. There may be some dramatic handling, but the grasp of people’s hearts is extremely good, and the storytelling skills are also quite surprising. Works such as
are thicker than urban romance, and the appearance of a large number of Mesozoic people can also make the characters more vivid and full. It is indeed more popular among more experienced audiences.
And "Dream City" is not the only work starring Jiang Xin and Yang Shuo. The next door "In the Name of Law" has also entered the promotion period. I don't know when it will be able to meet the audience.
I wonder if you are looking forward to Jiang Xin’s new work?
