Those who have read my "Sauvignon Blanc" drama review last year should know that I am definitely a fan of the drama, and I am a person who has read the original work, drank three bowls of water evenly, and drank every pair of CP equally, even if I got dizzy. I am also a rational drama fan who is not a fan of real people or tolerates the plot (when I last wrote, the plot had not collapsed yet).
Therefore, "Sauvignon Blanc 2" is back. In this review, I will first discuss the buffs rationally. I hope that all drama fans, CP fans and celebrity fans will be harmonious and make money, and love each other instead of fighting.

After watching four episodes, to be honest, I have given up my expectations for the plot line of this sequel. It is a familiar recipe: the plot struggle depends on marriage and concubine, and the peace of the court depends on it. The villain gives up on his own initiative. And what about dramatic structure? There is no structure, and each episode focuses on a loose theme. I am afraid that if GPT pulls the film, it will not be able to draw a decent plot line that is logical and coherent.
So from the beginning of a drama, is it attractive enough? The answer is of course no. Comparing " Celebrating More Than Years 2", which is also the second one, at least Wang Juan still gave a serious opening to the new drama: it gave enough new suspense and the crisis of the protagonist, whetting the audience's appetite and making them follow-up. The new series of "Sauvignon Blanc 2" begins with episode 40 (the first series has a total of 39 episodes).
The popularity of "Sauvignon Blanc 2" on the Tencent site on the first day exceeded 28,000, which has exceeded the popularity of the first part on the first day.
But objectively speaking, "Sauvignon Blanc 2" is still a special drama with extremely long and short shortcomings. Its strengths are the script writing, actors' interpretations, and atmosphere that are extremely demanding in emotional dramas. Its shortcomings are everything else. I would like to call it an "immersive ancient puppet" and set a precedent for "playing with wandering ideas".
The so-called "immersive ancient puppets" are other things like family and country feelings, court battles, and power intrigues. It is better not to engage in it. Everything is clearly the background of love. This has not been the case in the ancient puppet market in recent years. Very rare.
Comments on Xuanxuan's political marriage: "Getting married is like visiting a grave, and visiting a grave is like getting married."
In recent years, the platform has reduced costs and increased efficiency, and the careful calculation of life has been applied to the genre track. One main genre does not overlap five, six, seventy-eight. There are different types and cannot be considered cost-effective. This leads to "Ancient Puppet + n". The so-called "Ancient Puppet + n" means that ancient puppet dramas need to involve a variety of elements, such as feelings of family and country, court battles, and at the worst, suspenseful detectives and business war counterattacks. , the most basic thing is, there must be "revenge", "rebirth" and "face-changing" to attract attention, right? Take a look at "." next door. One person's rebirth is not enough to watch, so "three rebirths" are enough to make the show. Even so, some more "baby tactics" must be arranged, otherwise the heroine's "big heroine s+" flavor will not be reflected.
As for the ancient puppet track, the most important thing is the emotional drama, and other types of elements are the icing on the cake. The basis for showing off skills is still emotional drama. If the emotional drama of the ancient puppet show has to be "ancient puppet + n", it would be like when I was a child and the top student in the classroom was turning the pen. He would only say: "Hey! I'm not doing my job!"
" Sauvignon Blanc " doesn't engage in those things. The feelings of family and country, power and palace fighting, everything is the background of love, and the whole wilderness is just a part of the play of those four people. What is needed is for the protagonists to be immersed in falling in love, while you are immersed in CP and don’t think about anything else. So what kind of creative idea is this? This is the creative idea of Lianyou.
The famous poster of the heroine of "Sauvignon Blanc 2"
In the past, the so-called men had "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women" and the women had "Love and the Producer"; now, "Sauvignon Blanc" is based on The appearance of a traditional drama realizes the love-travel experience of a long drama: the three male protagonists are not only handsome and thin, but also have distinct characters, detailed histories, different personalities, and three emotional lines with the female protagonist. , the emotional model, character relationships, main conflicts, love details, heart-warming memories, and CP experience are completely different. Isn’t this the operation of love games?
This kind of creative idea was very successful in "Sauvignon Blanc" last year.At that time, the first-day popular poster used the heroine + her Xipis.
In the past long dramas, it is not that there were no emotional scenes where the heroine "drags two" and "one drags three", but usually the proportion of scenes has a clear distinction between the main character and the supporting character. When the screenwriter is creating, he will clearly define the "main cp" and "auxiliary cp". The main cp not only has a large role to depict his emotional development, but also has tasks other than the emotional line and the main plot; while the deputy cp is limited to scenes and usually takes the form of "Highlights" and "famous scenes" complete the establishment of character labels and character relationships in a limited number of scenes, leaving an impression on the audience. The story development and character changes of the main and secondary CP characters must be unified in the overall plot task.
For example, in "Knowledge", the main story line follows the male and female protagonists' house struggles, and the actions of the second male young master are basically always developing and changing on the previous line, causing crises, and hindering or helping the male and female protagonists. wait. The creation of Love Game is also divided into primary and secondary roles, but each character that can be conquered basically has its own separate story line and action line, exclusive scenes, triggerable tasks, etc., which means that each character is a copy. This approach allows each playable character to have its own complete space for character changes and emotional development, which can be presented with enough details, leaving enough room for private love with the player and dramatic possibilities for heart-beating memories to ferment.
The way of creating the love line in "Sauvignon Blanc" is closer to the way of writing love games. Each character is full of details, almost given the treatment of "male protagonist", and has enough space to fall in love with the female protagonist. , and, in general idol dramas, even if the heroine has many suitors, her heart only belongs to one person. On the contrary, in "Shanghai Love", it is precisely because there is enough room for the ambiguity of "one woman and three men" in the drama that the drama was created. The "good taste" of each group of CPs also leads to the bloody turmoil on the Internet of each CP party.
And the problems caused by this writing method are also obvious. The drama capacity of a drama is limited, so it is very important for the screenwriter to "grasp the big and let go of the small" and clarify the drama structure. "Sauvignon Blanc" focuses too much on the extreme delicacy of the emotional scenes (it is rare to see a drama that misses one or two micro-expressions of the male and female protagonists in a single scene, which will reduce the "emotional level"). As a result, except for the emotional scenes, there is no The plot line and character growth leave enough space for writing.
For example, this four-person scene is the ultimate pull between Xipi. A joke revealed Xiaoyao's attitude, Tu Shanjing suddenly lost his temper, and Xiang Liu's eyes changed, all of which were very good-looking.
There is also the scene where the grandfather urges the marriage. Xiaoyao asks, and the rhythm of Xuanxuan’s answer makes the audience gasp. Grandpa: Don’t tell the truth when you see it.
So looking back now, why the first few episodes of "Sauvignon Blanc" were slow but able to retain most of the audience? Because Xiaoliu's life experience is a big suspense in the plot, and the audience will look forward to when the brother and sister will recognize each other; and Why did some viewers start to complain about being chased away in the second half of the show? It’s because, except for love, the personal growth and changes of several characters have stalled, and the audience has almost no expectations anymore. These problems will only become more concentrated in Sauvignon Blanc 2.
Let me reiterate my point. The story of "Sauvignon Blanc" is a complete tragedy. What makes this tragedy better than ordinary ancient puppets is that it is not a tragedy artificially created by screenwriting techniques such as amnesia or terminal illness, but a tragedy that is highly unified between the character's personality and the character's destiny.
For example, the tragedy of Xiang Liu is superficially a conflict between his loyalty to Hong Jiang and his feelings for the heroine. However, this conflict is not unsolvable, but his paranoid and affectionate character makes him destined to die trapped in it.
Only when I hear that I spend time with the person I like, and don’t show off at all, can I feel a little bit of true emotion.
Xuanxuan's emotional tragedy is a classic conflict between the imperial path and personal emotions, but it is not unsolvable, because the starting point of his imperial path is emotion, but emotion is lost in the process. The main problem lies in his willful and ambitious character superior.
Xingxuan left the bride behind on her wedding night and looked at the swing alone to recall the past.Isn't this a form of torture for another woman? The tragedy of the heroine
is caused by a complete set of tragic histories and emotional experiences. Her cautiousness, pessimism, negativity, worries, and excessive rationality all correspond to her every emotional choice.
Xiaoyao is used to disguising herself with a strong appearance, and she can't even understand why she broke her defense.
The character Tu Shanjing should have the last laugh in "Sauvignon Blanc 2". This character is of great sample and benchmarking significance in the ancient puppet genre. When the ancient puppet project was still emphasizing the male protagonist's "feeling of domineering", "feeling of suo" and "feeling of high status", the character Tu Shanjing should be sold hard, be coquettish and coquettish, open her mouth and act like a "male Daji" The image of "Little Lovely Wife" is still pity for me to establish a sect. Ten years from now, if the track of "virtuous, virtuous and loving men with brains" is carried forward among ancient puppets, then Tu Shanjing can be regarded as the master. How can this not be considered a kind of character that determines destiny?
Compared with Tu Shanjing, who is hard to express his love for now, many viewers, like Xiaoyao, miss Ye Shiqi of Qingshui Town even more.
Can the success of Sauvignon Blanc be replicated? Personally I don't think it's possible. This kind of project is a project where the plot line is purely superficial and relies entirely on emotional drama. From writing to directing to acting to editing, if one link is missing, it will be a tragedy. To put it bluntly, can you imagine some director who has always made "death scenes" filming it, or changing a few actors to star in this project? Tong Hua and her best friends have absolute control over every aspect of this project, Qin Zhen, a female director with almost paranoid delicacy, and the actors' full devotion, make the success of the play can only be regarded as an accident, rather than in line with industry and industry standards. The normal state of market rules.
Even so, if nothing else happens, I will still follow the second season, because I really want to immerse myself in learning Sister Tonghua’s emotional drama this summer, and indulge in an epic be scene of a Chinese ancient puppet show: just Let all this heavy rain fall.
