Time has slowly come to September, and it is the beginning of the school year again. After the summer vacation, a new round of new dramas and movies have begun to be released.
In terms of movies, the summer schedule is fiercely competitive, and the potential movies of decent quality are basically showing their faces. There are a few that have not been released, and they are also rushing to the National Day schedule that will follow shortly.
September has become the off-season for movies this year. Apart from a few small-budget theater movies, there are almost no works worth mentioning.
There are no masterpieces in the film industry, but the TV series are pretty good.
Zuo Le's new drama, "Latent", which is also the most anticipated TV series this year, is about to be aired. In addition, there is also a popular urban drama adapted from online IP to be aired in late September.
This is also one of the few TV dramas in September besides "Latent" that has attracted outside attention.
The other two dramas are "The Little Maid" and "Wolf Hunt" mentioned before.
The premiere date of "Insidious" is set to be September 9th. Before that, "Little Maid" and "Wolf Hunter" were aired first.
On September 2nd, "Little Maid" landed on Shonan Channel's prime time slot and began its premiere.
The plot of "The Little Maid" is exactly what Zuo Le thought before. The heroine of "The White Lotus" is abused at every turn, but still displays an aura of invincibility and forgiveness.
In the first two episodes, the heroine has not yet appeared, and they are introducing her mother. The characters in the drama say that the heroine's mother is kind and gentle in various ways, but the plot does not seem to highlight this point.
As a maid, the heroine's mother doesn't work well and has all kinds of ambiguous flirtations with the married young master every day.
Of course, in their own eyes, the two of them have a pure friendship and are each other's confidants, with no personal relationship at all.
Others didn't take it seriously, thinking it was very normal for an unmarried maid to play with a married young master every day, and they still regarded the heroine's mother as a kind-hearted white lotus.
Although I don’t quite understand what the screenwriter of “The Little Maid” based it on, the plot is indeed set like this.
Of course, usually in this case, even though everyone else has been lowered by the halo of intelligence, the villain's reaction is still very sharp and real.
The young master's wife, also known as the young mistress, when everyone thought that the heroine's mother was a good person, they concluded at a glance that she was a vixen and started tearing up the green tea bitch for the sake of her own marriage.
Facing the menacing original villain, the heroine's mother must be kind and harmless, and silently endure all kinds of "bullying".
At this time, there is often an outspoken "Two Hundred and Five" companion next to the protagonist. He can't bear to see the protagonist being bullied and comes out to seek justice.
The rest of the plot is simpler. The young master comes to defend and belittles the young mistress. Others also feel that the young mistress is bullying others and feels sorry for the heroine and her mother.
Young Mistress: “…”
Let me ask you, if someone comes to steal your husband, and you fight back forcefully, the other person will immediately act like a pitiful victim, and then everyone else will stand on the other person's side, taking turns to attack you, saying that you are vicious and narrow-minded, which is not a good thing.
woman.
Therefore, in fact, sometimes it is not the fault of certain Mary Sue TV series that the female supporting characters are vicious.
Ignore their imbecile and exaggerated words and deeds, look directly at the essence of the problem, and compare your feelings with your own. You are probably more vicious than their methods. Even milder methods are not enough to relieve anger, so you have to torture them severely.
As a result, the young mistress went dark and intensified her efforts to target the heroine's mother. The heroine's mother continued to "forbear" until a certain level of tolerance was reached, and the young master jumped out to help her.
During this period, the young master disliked his mean wife less and less, and became closer and closer to the heroine's mother, and finally fell in love with the gentle and considerate heroine's mother.
According to the normal plot routine, the villain young lady will be dealt with miserably, the heroine's mother will succeed in taking over, and the family will live happily ever after.
However, the protagonist of the drama "Little Maid" is the heroine, not her mother, so the villain rarely wins and sells the heroine's mother to a homeless man as his wife.
According to the laws of this type of drama, 90% of the time the heroine will interact with the young master and young mistress in the future.
It is estimated that he is either in love with the young master's son, or fighting for a man with his daughter, or both...
Anyway, the villainous young lady will come out again, and the old man and the young man will face off again.
The villain will definitely lose in the end, but as for the outcome, it all depends on what the screenwriter is good at and likes.
Some are good at slapping bad guys in the face. The big villain is basically someone who has his family ruined, lives on the streets, or is betrayed by his relatives, and then dies tragically, allowing the audience to relieve their anger.
Some people like to be pretentious and end up brainwashing the villain. The two sides fight to the death for dozens of episodes. A lot of supporting characters die. The villain suddenly puts down his butcher knife. The heroine immediately forgives generously, and then everyone is happy and achieves a happy ending.
.
In the former case, no matter whether the plot is exciting or not, the ending is often regarded as "splendid", as good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
The latter is just a disgusting person. The audience is advised to ask the screenwriter to ask for his health, and sincerely wish him to encounter more villains like this in real life.
I hope that like the protagonist in the play, he can maintain the noble and selfless sentiment of "others abuse me thousands of times, but I treat others like my first love"...
"Little Maid" has only aired two episodes, but its quality has already been labeled by the outside world as "boring", "old-fashioned", "embarrassing", "ruining the original version", etc. Douhua's initial score is just 3.9, which is considered low.
Evaluated.
However, despite poor word-of-mouth reviews, the ratings of "Little Maid" are still good.
The first broadcast exceeded 1.3. Although it received repeated negative reviews the next day, it did not affect the ratings. It even rose instead of falling. By the third day, the average ratings of the whole drama had successfully exceeded 1.5, temporarily ranking first in the ratings of TV dramas in the same period in September.
.
This drama has a total of 45 episodes. If it can maintain this growth momentum, it is expected that the final finale will hopefully break the 2 mark.
Gee, the film and television industry has used countless vivid examples to tell everyone that you should never underestimate the potential of the middle-aged and elderly people and the sinking market...
It's a pity that Shanhe has already established a brand of high-quality dramas, and it is impossible to deliberately lower the standards and make those inferior dramas to make money.
Fortunately, Shanhe has extraordinary appeal on the TV platform. Even if it does not cater to middle-aged and elderly audiences, it can still knock on the door of the middle-aged and elderly market with its excellent quality dramas.
This is the case with phenomenal hit dramas such as "Bright Sword" and "Mansion Gate" that have exceeded 4.
Without the support of middle-aged and elderly viewers, given the current proportion of young people on TV drama platforms, it would be impossible to achieve such brilliant ratings.
………
The results of "Little Maid" are probably like this. The ratings may be good, but it is basically difficult to get out of the entertainment industry.
Fortunately for the film and platform parties, apart from the salary, it is almost difficult for actors to gain popularity. This is why these types of dramas are all starring newbies or actors who have faded.
Any actor who still has some attention and ambition will not waste time in a drama with such a restricted subject matter. Some extreme artists and companies do not even regard it as a resource.
In contrast, another film "Wolf Hunter" is more "popular" among the actors than "Little Maid".
Because the market it faces is all-round, even if the ratings are not as good as "Little Maid", it can still increase a small amount of popularity, and it can also be a resume supplement for your career.
If the show becomes popular, it will be even more profitable.
It's a pity that the creators of "Wolfhunter" did not wait for this opportunity.
As mentioned before, "Wolf Hunt" is an anti-special drama. The plot is probably about the liberation of Jiang City in 1949. As an important economic city in New China, Jiang City's status is very important in the country.
The higher authorities hope to activate the economic attributes of Jiang City, maintain and consolidate the economies of several surrounding provinces, and establish the smooth start of development of New China.
Jiang City is so important, and the Guo Party, who is unwilling to fail, will naturally not let it go.
As a result, the top brass of the Military Security Bureau planned a plan to "overthrow Jiang" and sent the ace agent "Lone Wolf" to lead numerous Kuomintang agents into Jiang City with the intention of sabotaging and subverting the new regime in Jiang City.
After Lone Wolf and others came to Jiang City, they also accomplished something, causing a certain amount of losses. At the same time, they also alerted the newly established Public Security Bureau of Jiang City.
After investigation, the Jiang City Public Security Bureau learned of the "overturning the river" plan and responded immediately. Led by Deputy Director Guo Tian, a special task force was formed to implement the "wolf hunting" operation to confront the lone wolf head-on, determined to crush these reactionary forces.
The enemy's conspiracy.
The plot structure is a bit old-fashioned, but it is still above the standard. In addition, it is produced by CCTV, so many people were looking forward to it before it was broadcast.
Otherwise, "Wolfhunter" and "Insidious" would not be connected.
What is the level of Zuo Le's new drama? If they are not really optimistic about "Wolfhunter", even if it is just a joke, the audience will not forcefully tie the two dramas together.
But when "Wolfhunter" was actually aired, everyone was indeed deeply disappointed.
Frankly speaking, the quality of "Wolfhunter" is not bad, at least it is much better than "Little Maid", but its shortcomings are also fatal.
Average, nothing special!
Fu Huadao, it is very common in domestic dramas nowadays to have a look, which has its form but not its substance. In short, it has no details. It looks fine at first glance, but it is awkward when it comes to seriousness.
The actors, a few veteran actors and the male lead performed well, but the other young actors all failed.
Especially the heroine, although her resume is that she has participated in many film and television works, she actually has no acting ability at all, much like Chen Xiao in "Actors Come to PK".
With such acting skills, it is difficult to play a role, let alone a heroine, and the setting of the heroine in "Wolf Hunter" is particularly complicated.
A master of Peking Opera, the long-time mistress of a military spy, and her childhood sweetheart’s first love, she also has a spy brother who depends on each other for life...
Just by looking at these, you can understand the difficulty of this role. Even after watching it, you may not be able to win this role firmly and let a vase with no acting skills play it.
Two words - scrappy.
In addition, the plot and line design are not rigorous, and some are even speechless.
Let’s just pick two examples. Two military agents exchanged information on the street. The male agent forcefully crushed the female agent’s snack and put the note on it. The female agent casually leaned against a corner and read the information on the street.
.
Why don't you wait a little longer and find a house to hide in to see if you can die?
There was also a senior military command reprimanding a latent female agent, asking her why she did not steal the intelligence as planned. The female agent was very aggrieved and said that the lock where the intelligence was hidden was from the United States and she could not open it without the key.
You can't open the lock without a key. Look how reasonable this sentence is. Boss Dai was so angry when he heard it...
Anyway, this drama is probably like this. It's ugly, but it's actually manageable to watch, but if you keep watching it, you'll find it boring and boring, and you'll have to lose your mind occasionally.
It's like tasteless, which is the most appropriate evaluation of the show "Wolf Hunter".
And its ratings and ratings were not even as good as "The Little Maid" which was not optimistic before.
Douhua scored 3.6, and the average ratings of the entire drama did not exceed 1.2 during the five days it was broadcast, and the overall ratings were slowly declining.
To be honest, not to mention the ratings of this result, the ratings are a bit angry, but at this point, it is pale to say anything.
"Wolfhunter" hits the streets, and it is a foregone conclusion that CCTV will overturn again.
Fortunately, the broadcast platform of "Wolf Hunter" this time is the CCTV TV drama channel, not CCTV's home base, otherwise the outside world will ridicule CCTV even more.
But even so, CCTV's internal staff couldn't stand it.
The number of CCTV TV series overturns is actually not that many, and they rarely have a big impact on the outside world. Of the few tragic experiences in recent years, half of them were indirectly linked to Zuo Le.
Last time, the military tribute film was destroyed by "The Story of the Cooking Class", and "The King of Marines" almost caused Army tanks to bombard the Broadcasting Building.
This time "Wolf Hunt" was not that thrilling, but it also caused CCTV a huge loss of face.
Although they understand that Zuo Le has no intention of going against CCTV, some people think that all the reasons are not necessarily coincidental. It may be that the two families have some conflicts, and CCTV is "conquered" by Zuo Le...
In a private meeting, a superstitious master suggested using some metaphysical means to break this "curse".
Naturally, this absurd statement will not be accepted, but CCTV executives are also preparing to produce a masterpiece to save the face lost by "Wolf Hunt".
In CCTV's mind, it would be best to get a mountain and river drama, but Dongshan TV definitely disagrees. Fang Weimin watches these mountain and river dramas as if he were looking at his own eyes, baring his teeth at anyone who touches them.
With no choice but to do so, CCTV could only settle for the next best thing.
They set their sights on the "The New Deer and the Cauldron" produced by Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, and planned to spend some money to get this Jin Yong martial arts drama, which is said to be the most exquisitely produced in recent years.
The popularity and influence of Jin Yong’s drama + excellent production cast + CCTV, the first TV platform
Adding the three together, "The New Deer and the Cauldron" has a bright future. Even mountain and river dramas may not be unable to fight. When the time comes, we will find a mountain and river drama with high attention and fight head-on.
Not only to avenge the shame and restore the reputation, but also to break the curse of CCTV being always "defeated" by Zuo Le.
………
Just when CCTV was gearing up to contact the producers of "The New Deer and the Cauldron", on September 9, "Latent" also started to be launched on Dongshantai.
As the first TV director today, Zuo Le's new drama launched more than a year after the national-level TV series "Bright Sword" has some extraordinary appeal to the audience, and the audience also responded highly to "Latent"
enthusiasm.
On September 10th, the ratings for the premiere of "Latent" broke through 2 on the same day, breaking the domestic TV series premiere ratings record in the past ten years...
