I always think that whether we are watching film and television dramas or watching **, we must always bring some brains, otherwise you can't send "those dramas that you didn't watch with your brains in 2023" and "those books you didn't read with your brains in 2023" to Moments, right?That's a chilling na!
On the contrary, "the dramas I watched in 2023 that require you to use your brain to understand" sounds a bit powerful, right!
So, without further ado, let's burn our brains together
"The Extraordinary Three".
Producer: Shaw Brothers + Youku.
Starring: Zhang Zhilin, Zhou Xiuna, Huang Zongze.
Number of episodes: 6.
I would like to call this drama a turnaround of Shaw Brothers and Youku, after all, in this article: Shaw Brothers and Youku, everything is easy to discuss, don't make any more trouble TVB, I scolded them a little hard, I would like to apologize for this drama for the time being, after all, the screenwriter they invited this time is Chen Thirteen, Chen Thirteen!Chen Shisan, who wrote the classic drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie"!
The story is about an author who dreams of writing a great adventure**, in fact, he can only support himself by writing sweet pet essays, a female guide who dreams of becoming a cool woman**, a female tour guide who actually dreams of watching dramas every day, and a movie worker who dreams of becoming an excellent martial arts finger like his father, and in fact, can only be a stand-in movie worker:
Three ordinary people who had nothing to do with each other watched a little girl being abducted on the street in the dead of night, and after each went home, their conscience was disturbed, and they returned to that street and decided to do something for the little girl, and changed their fate from ...... moment on
First of all: it is said that the three protagonists are all in their own original voices with Mandarin, and their spirit is commendable!However, Hong Kong will be more or less less fluent in influencing people to play, I suggest watching the Cantonese version.
Secondly: Six episodes is not too long, please stick to the end, and don't use subjective assumptions such as "half an episode abandoned" and "two episodes abandoned" to evaluate this drama.
Okay, I can start talking: Chen Shisan, he's too good!!A good screenwriter can save a drama, when will you capital face up to such a fact???
Although as a veteran screenwriter, Chen Shisan uses the mouth of the character to complain about his own soil, and it is true that he also has some very old-school ideas, but I really admire people who are still making up stories honestly and seriously, and they do not work hard to study and cater to the tastes of the so-called young audience.
But in this drama, his show-off skills are a bit obvious, I often say that showing off skills is something that people who write ** often do, and if you show off your skills too much in a film and television work, it will actually hurt the whole story (you didn't say it to me in a literary film), the dimensional wall is interspersed back and forth, for a while, ordinary people are dreaming, for a while, the writer is talking to their own AI, and for a while, in another time and space, there really exist in the heroes of ordinary people's dreams, so the narrative logic is really obscure and very ** to understand, which also leads to the audience's "half-episode abandonment", One of the important reasons for "two episodes of abandonment" is ......
Another reason is probably the grasp of the rhythm, why do I say I want to watch six episodes, because many important things that comb the logic are presented in the last two episodes, how impatient today's audiences are, the first two episodes have "bullshit" where everyone has abandoned it, so the rhythm is particularly important, rather than doing something dazzling but difficult to understand in the front of the imagination and fog, it is better to effectively throw suspense, Ambush pen, to make the story exciting enough, you also have to consider the synchronization of the audience's IQ, you see, even if the matryoshka story like "Inception", people shoot it in an orderly and logical way, and strive to make the audience understand, you just care about the nesting doll regardless of the explanation, it is to treat the audience as a monkey, no matter how much the audience wants to masochism, it is not so cheap.
However, the result of making a cheap mistake is that I didn't miss a good drama, which is still a little worth it, at least, I didn't miss itWang Haoxin's wonderful performance, who would have thought that it would be effortless for the emperor to play the ** villain:
And there isHuang ZongzeThat super comic performance, I said that he is so suitable for acting in comedy:
"Oriental Wall Street".
Producer: Penguin Films + Fox Media.
Starring: Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Xiaoquan.
Number of episodes: 5.
A drama that requires a little economic and financial knowledge to understand, because the plot mainly revolves around **, business wars and the like, telling the story of a group of "white warriors" with outstanding intelligence, using their economic and financial knowledge to punish evil and promote good in the world of capital, the pace is very fast, I need to keep playing back to understand.
I'm very happy to have a Cantonese version to watch, likeWu ZhenyuFor an actor of this level, listening to the dubbing is simply an insult to his performance, and no matter how good the dubbing is, it can't !!
Wu Zhenyu's appearance in the play is too much like Liu Songren!
The means are thunderous, good and evil are difficult to distinguish, and they are full of charm.
I am a little concerned that the protagonists are overly deified, and financial predators can be called financial predators so easily?
How good it is at the beginning, how embarrassed it is later.
But because of the length of just 5 episodes, this flaw can still be forgiven, not to mention that in such a short space, it is necessary to show the love and hate between the protagonist groups, and even these love and hate feelings have not been satisfactorily resolved in the end, leaving a lot of foreshadowing, which makes people look forward to the next season, which is quite meaningful.
"Female Forensic JD".
Producer: Penguin Films + Emperor Entertainment.
Starring: Cai Zhuoyan, Zhang Xiaoquan, Zhong Xintong.
Number of episodes: 12.
As the name suggests, the main thing about the play isChoi Cheuk-yanThe female forensic doctor she plays is named "Jane Doe", which means "unknown woman", because her background is confusing, her father is a wanted criminal, she does not dare to use her real name to join the work, and she does not dare to recognize her father.
Zhong Xintongplays a high-IQ ** murderer in the play, falling in love and killing each other with Ah Sa is a highlight, and a female high-IQ ** murderer Oh, such a touching character is rare in domestic dramas!
At the beginning, he angrily pretended to be the identity of the heroine.
to ** all IQ crush others, and by the way, help the police solve the case.
There is really a sense of CP between her and Ah Sa, which leads to the male protagonist being disgusted by the barrage as soon as he appears, because it is enough to see the two of them pull to the limit, and there is no need for a male protagonist at all:
Sometimes it scares the heroine into hypersensitivity, and sometimes it is warm.
What impressed me the most about this drama is that in addition to the unattainable high IQ of criminals, there are also two completely different family education that two girls received, which made them each embark on a different life:
The heroine did not turn black after the great change, also thanks to her father's education.
"Tianmu Crisis".
Producer: Huanrui + Mango.
Starring: Zhang Rui, He Dujuan, Zhang Xiaoquan, Miao Qiaowei.
Number of episodes: 12.
A domestic drama mixed and matched by Hong Kong and Taiwan drama stars + Japanese drama style, the plot has a bit of sci-fi elements, but it is mainly investigating the case, and it can be seen from the producer to the starring actor that it is not too good to play.
The story is not difficult to understand, throw away the godly definition of science fiction, and say something that ordinary people can understand: the male protagonist's father and mother are the drummers and lead singers of an orchestra, and this orchestra has a neurotic mastermind, and this neurotic mastermind thinks that some people are not worthy of living in this world, so the male protagonist's mother created a song, plus the rhythm of the male protagonist's father, this song has the magic power to make people who are bursting with negative energy run to commit suicide, and the members of the orchestra were very happy to study this song at first, as if they were their own ** Later, at the concert, the song caused a riot, caused a fire, and many people died, and they suddenly began to find out their conscience, and since then they have been incognito, and the families of the victims who died in the fire have united and vowed to find them and take revenge. The male protagonist's father was imprisoned, and the mother was killed in a vegetative state, and the male protagonist had feelings for the sister of the Avenger brothers and sisters, untying the Avenger brother's heart knot, and finally the Avenger brother was imprisoned, the sister may be dead, the male protagonist's father may be dead, and the mother may be awake, in short, just like Schrödinger's cat, everything is possible.
It's outrageous.
Under the banner of advanced scientific thinking, Schrödinger, Einstein, consciousness or something at every turn, and even the basic common sense that the earth is a planet has not been clarified:
It can be seen how badly the lines are written, either you are cold enough and logical enough to walk in a cold and hardcore style, or you simply use everyday language to make it easier to understand, or you are poetic and romantic like a vast picture, this drama is next to each other, but the words are incoherent, nondescript, and I don't know what nonsense is about.
And as soon as they started speaking scientific jargon, everyone's tone became very childish and convoluted, as if they were talking about Shuck and Beta to schoolchildren.
As for acting, although there are old Hong Kong actors like Miao Qiaowei and Gong Cien, they can't save the average, and the male protagonist's acting skills are extremely stiff, as if he is afraid that his expression will be wrinkled if he does a little more, and he is only thirty-five years oldOccasionally, there are some rigid gestures like a speech on stage, which is too stiff ......
And Zhang Xiaoquan, I only found out when I wrote here, this article containsZhang XiaoquanThe amount is a bit over-standard, tsk, tsk, because Zhang Xiaoquan's acting skills are sometimes very explosive, and more often they are very greasy:
ps: But I have collected the OST of this show, which is very good!
"In the Dark".
Producer: viutv
Starring: Bai Tiannan, Liu Xinyou, Guo Xianni, Pan Canliang, Su Zhiwei, Yuan Qiwen, Wang Wei.
Number of episodes: 30.
Blame me, when I saw 30 episodes, I thought that according to the tone of viutv, it was more than 20 minutes per episode, which is equivalent to a total of 15 episodes, and it's not long, right?
I didn't expect it to be really 30 episodes!!Show me, my brain is burning and smoking!!
You see so many starring actors, everyone has their own story, that's not all, the supporting roles haven't been listed, the supporting roles include the male protagonist's previous girlfriends, the male protagonist's son and his girlfriend, the male protagonist's good friend and his girlfriend, the staff of the male protagonist's company and their respective lovers and relatives ......
There are three girlfriends who have a clear relationship with the male protagonist.,It's still a little ambiguous.。
The girlfriend of the male owner's son,At the same time, she is the granddaughter of the male owner's boss.,After giving birth to a son with the male owner's son.,Their son was killed by the girl she hurt in the orphanage when she was a child.,Remember this girl.,Later, this girl had a quantum entanglement ...... with the little child she killed.
A deep in the past of campus violence, friends have accidents one after another:
I still seem to have that personality ** disorder:
A boyfriend who is very poor is also poor, and he has no choice but to shed it when he is pregnant with a child:
A dick chased after the pure beauty goddess:
In addition, the male protagonist's business is a bit evil.,Specializing in creating all kinds of accidents that cause people to die.,People who are unwilling to be at the mercy of fate take collective revenge.,Kill the company's executives.,You can reset time and space.,So after resetting time and space.,This group of people started another life separately.,Trigger another story .......
Poor couples have money and contradictions:
The pure beauty goddess has become a brutal and willful princess with flying facial features:
Then, as soon as the people watching the drama figure out the relationship between the characters in this time and space, they immediately changed the time and space and began to sort out the relationship between the characters in another time and space
Moreover, there are not only "different worlds" created by resetting time and space, that is, the timeline is still on the same path as the original world, but there are also "other dimensions" where the timeline is completely unrelated to the original world!!
The intricate relationship between the characters, the upside-down time and space, the related or unrelated dimensions, these factors are permutated and combined, as well as the "envoy" who has undergone brain surgery and retains all the memories of the world, and the "elder" who has special abilities and can freely shuttle through various dimensions, in general, I admire the screenwriter's !! very much
Not crazy to run such a company?A company dedicated to "reducing the world's population"?Why ???
Of course, if you regard this company as "God", "God", impermanence of fate, and the title of the play: in the dark, everything seems to be understandable again, then the company's employees are equivalent to all the immortals in our Xianxia dramas, seeing that these people are also up and down in their respective destinies, trying every means and racking all their brains to fight against fate, it seems that there is still some meaning, at least, it is more meaningful than talking about a love of three lives and three lives, right?
Although it is inevitable to fall in love, even the "Elder" has talked about love in the last few episodes, and he has become a little fresh meat to fall in love:
Let's just say that if you don't fall in love, you won't be able to drag on the number of episodes at all!!
In the end, the male protagonist had a dialogue with himself in another dimension, and finally pointed out the theme:
also give an explanation to the audience whose brains have been burned out!- However, the ending digs a lot of holes, and the viutv's usual tone.
In the new year, I wish you all to continue to use your brains more. The number one player in film and television solicitation order
