Since "Ode to Joy 5" failed to appear in CCTV's list of large-scale TV dramas in 2024 as planned, its future broadcast situation has obviously become more confusing!
However, compared with the premiere time of "Ode to Joy 5", Hou Hongliang, the CEO of Noon Sunshine and the producer of the "Ode to Joy" series, expressed his views in a recent interview, which obviously attracted the attention and heated discussion of more netizens!
In an exclusive interview with **, Hou Hongliang gave an answer to the question about the IP of "Ode to Joy". He pointed out that there are many aspects of "Ode to Joy" that we should learn and Xi and summarize, and that Anai's script is of high quality, but changing actors has brought us a huge challenge because we are overconfident, which has taught us a profound lesson. He stressed that the responsibility for making the seasonal drama still falls on the people of the Yakuhara class!
Hou Hongliang believes that the new series of "Ode to Joy" failed to achieve good results in the first two seasons, mainly because of the replacement of new actors, which led to a sharp drop in the reputation of the third and fourth seasons, making "Ode to Joy 5" fall into the dilemma of not having a suitable platform to take over!This also shows that the production team of the new drama still has some problems in grasping the market. In addition, Hou Hongliang deliberately used the word "lesson", which obviously put all the responsibility for the failure of the work on the leading actors of the new series, and it is understandable that the new starring lineup is not strong enough to support the work!
But is this really true?
The reason why the first season of "Ode to Joy" was successful, in addition to the high quality of the script, the unique settings of the five "5 beauties" characters Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, Qiao Xin and Yang Zi, coupled with the acting skills of all their members, left a deep impression on the audience, which is also one of the key factors for its success!This is not only because they all have their own different charms, but also because the roles they play in the play are impressive. Some people even believe that the biggest feature and core of "Ode to Joy" is 5 beauty!
If "Ode to Joy 3" continues to interpret the story of five beauties such as Andy and Fan Shengmei, then it is undoubtedly possible to invite the original team members to return again!However, when the characters and storylines of the new series were fully updated, it was obviously inappropriate to star Yang Zi and others, so changing the cast obviously became the only viable option!
When discussing the starring lineup of the new Ode to Joy series, we don't consider other factors in the first place. The members of the new "5 Beauties" include Jiang Shuying, Zhang Jianing, Yang Caiyu, Zhang Huiwen and Li Haofei. Except for Li Haofei, who is an actor who is a halfway monk, the other four are all budding actresses in the film and television industry!
Jiang Shuying is known for her excellent appearance and acting skills, Zhang Jianing is a late bloomer but has extraordinary strength, Yang Caiyu is a Feng girl, and Zhang Huiwen is a Mou girl!These three actors, although they are of different ages, all have good popularity and reputation. Although it cannot be said that everyone's acting skills have reached the extreme, it is obviously completely sufficient to perfectly interpret the characters in urban dramas!
Some people may think that the newly launched "5 Beauties" are mainly actors with a cold physique, and their popularity is not high!Indeed, this is not a good sign. Recalling the first season of "Ode to Joy", except for Liu Tao, the popularity of the other four leading actors in that era could not be called top first-line actors. The audience's love and recognition of them largely depends on their scripts, the characters they play, and their excellent acting skills!
The performance of the third and fourth seasons of "Ode to Joy" was not ideal, mainly because of the problems with the script and character setting, although the acting skills of the two seasons are similar, and the strength of the actors is not much different!In the all-new story structure, the new 5 Mei does not introduce too many innovative elements, and the experiences of its characters seem to be similar to those of the previous two seasons. The rich second-generation character played by Ye Zhenzhen, in addition to showing a strong sense of superiority and "Mother of God", does not show the temperament of a real high-level scientific research scholar. The character's storyline mainly revolves around various power struggles and emotional entanglements with David.
Fang Zhiheng was full of desire for revenge from the beginning, He Minhong played various "white lotus" roles, and Yu Chuhui constantly stood at the peak of morality and judged others. Zhu Zhe is known as "Fan Shengmei 2."0", although his performance is relatively normal, whether it is his family background or some unsatisfactory work in his work, it makes people feel that he completely imitates Fan Shengmei in the first two seasons, which seems to lack novelty!
In Hou Hongliang's opinion, such a script and character setting are "very good"!He felt that his creative team was confident enough to complete the work. On the contrary, the performance of his work is not outstanding, and he actually puts the blame on the replacement of actors, which really makes people feel a little speechless!Before that, though, he had a good start. To be honest, as long as the quality of the scripts of "Ode to Joy 3" and "Ode to Joy 4" is slightly higher, judging from the cast led by the team at noon and Jiang Shuying, it will definitely not be the current embarrassing word-of-mouth performance!
The failure of the new series "Ode to Joy" is not only because of the change of protagonists, but also because of the lack of necessary innovation and competitiveness at multiple levels such as script and character design!This also made the movie "To Our Dying Youth" by Noon Sunshine leave a deep regret in the hearts of the audience. In the current context of the emergence of many original scripts and the continuous emergence of high-quality scripts, if Noon Sunshine can maintain its existing quality, then the saying that "Noon Sunshine must be a high-quality product" may only become a laughing stock in the near future!
