After the broadcast of the urban romantic drama "Love as the Camp" starring Bai Lu and Wang Hedi, word of mouth collapsed. From the plot to the acting skills of the leading actors, there is almost no place that can satisfy the audience, and the Douban score is only 47 points. How high-profile it was when filming started before, how embarrassing it is at the moment.
Bailu has risen sharply in recent years and is currently one of the hottest female stars. Her masterpiece should be "Zhou Shengru" and "One Life" with Ren Jialun. It was also from these two TV series that Bailu gradually rose to become a first-line actress.
After that, she became a resident guest on "Let's Run". In variety shows, Bailu created a lot of funny and famous scenes. Participating in variety shows is very important for traffic stars. When the output of works cannot be continued and stably, variety shows can maintain the best degree of stars. But it's also a double-edged sword.
It's important for actors to maintain a sense of mystery. If you blindly consume yourself, it will not only make the audience have aesthetic fatigue, but also affect the output of the characters because of the variety show personality. This is evident in Bailu.
Take "Love as the Camp" as an example, Bai Lu plays a well-known female financial reporter in the play. This role can be categorized as a strong woman. But because there are too many famous scenes in Bailu's variety shows, the audience always feels that she is going to laugh in the next second when they see Zheng Shuyi played by Bailu. From this point of view, actors participate too much in variety shows, and the negative impact is still very great.
Wang Hedi became popular with "Canglan Jue". "Camp with Love" is his first puppet drama after he became popular. Before, his Reuters was addictive. But after the TV series was broadcast, Wang Hedi also received the most criticism.
Wang Hedi played the domineering president Shi Yan in "Love as the Camp". This character is very charismatic in itself, and belongs to the ceiling level of the current puppet show. But Wang Hedi obviously didn't hold up this role. The line skills are poor, the performance is patterned, and Wang Hedi's version of the boss seems to be only literally understood.
Netizens compared Shi Yan played by Wang Hedi with Meng Yanchen played by Wei Daxun in "Fireworks in My World" and found that Wei Daxun, who also played the boss, Wei Daxun was obviously more appropriate and convincing to the role. Wang Hedi is obviously not in the state.
Whether it is Bailu or Wang Hedi, the two of them seem to be able to only show themselves in ancient puppet dramas. Ancient costumes are dressed up**, and the characters are dubbed, and the audience naturally loves to watch it. But in the current puppet drama, there is no way to solve the problem of lines and performance.
In addition to the two leading actors, the audience can't accept the plot setting of "Camp with Love". With the development of the plot, netizens found that the character of the heroine Zheng Shuyi seemed to have a big problem.
Zheng Shuyi is a well-known female financial reporter, and the development of her love with Shi Yan is the setting of a strong woman and a strong man. Due to the difference in identity, Zheng Shuyi should be more interesting. In the plot, it is always emphasizing how professional and excellent Zheng Shuyi is as a financial reporter, but in fact, there are very few things related to the profession in the workplace.
It seems that Zheng Shuyi is sober and engaged in her career, but in fact, it shows that she has realized her self-worth with the help of the advantages of the banquet. Because of such a plot, some netizens questioned that under the love halo of "Love as a Camp", she is a stigmatized professional woman.
In his career development, Zheng Shuyi relied on various accidents related to the banquet. Unexpected dinners, unexpected "home visits", etc. After confirming the relationship, he began to stage the "wife" drama that ruined the three views.
Do you know how lonely I am at work alone?She's a child, and I'm your baby. This sentence has a feeling of paying tribute to "Luping only lost a leg, but Ziling lost her love".
In response to the increasingly "off-track" plot of "Love as a Camp", People's Entertainment issued a comment. The article believes that the reporter went to the interviewee's home late at night to revise the manuscript, and these plots were grafted onto the "well-known financial reporter", which seemed nondescript and deliberately blunt, which made many people in the news workplace feel unhappy.
This kind of plot can neither highlight the personal charm of the protagonist, nor make the audience feel empathy, let alone the professionalism and inspirational sense that workplace scenes should have. This is a typical suspension of the bridge, cut off from reality, and a rough portrayal of the journalist's profession.
People's entertainment directly refers to this kind of literary and artistic creation that is divorced from reality, which not only damages the quality of the work itself, but also disrespects the relevant industries and the audience. In this way, no matter how sweet the plot is, it is just "industrial saccharin".
Netizens were overturned by the plot, and the official media couldn't help but speak out, seeing this scene, some people joked: Song Yan, the light boat has crossed Wanzhong Mountain.
When "Fireworks in My World" was broadcast, the male and female protagonists Song Yan and Xu Qin were also hotly discussed by netizens because of character problems. Among them, the scene of Song Yan playing with a fire extinguisher in order to make Xu Qin happy made many official media post bitter criticism. In the end, the Douban score of "Fireworks in My World" is only 28 points, becoming one of the lowest-rated TV series.
Now, "Camp with Love" has successfully stolen the limelight of "Fireworks in My World". The character of the male protagonist Shi Banquet is okay, and the character of the female protagonist Zheng Shuyi is a professional woman, which seems to be inferior to Xu Qin's love brain personality.
The script is known as the foundation of a drama, and it is the guarantee for the TV series to gain word of mouth. In the end, the works that can successfully get out of the circle often have a strong spiritual core. Even if the subject matter is niche, as long as the script can touch people's hearts, it can break the circle. The Douban score is as high as 9The 3-point historical TV series "Awakening Age" is a good example.
Idol dramas are one of the most widely used themes. It is also a treasure place for traffic stars to increase their popularity. Basically, works with this kind of theme have their own traffic from the beginning of filming. If the TV series is recognized in the end, it will be a win-win result for the drama party, the starring role, the broadcast platform and other aspects.
But creators can't think that as long as there is traffic, there is security, and they can fly unscrupulously and detach themselves from actual creation, let alone know what kind of views they want to express.
Traffic is a double-edged sword, and the beauty in the eyes of fans must also stand up to scrutiny. Whether it is "Fireworks in My World" or "Camp with Love", it starts with traffic and ends with the script. Creators should wake up, and traffic stars should also make decisions after understanding the script, otherwise it is easy to be eaten by traffic.
