"Thrush" was originally strongly supported by CCTV, but why did the audience ask to stop broadcasting and take it off the shelves?Why do so many people scold it?
Thrush is on the air, and the current ratings are close to a terrifying 12%, and the success has reached a higher level, which is much better than last month's hit drama "Fearless".
Although the data is very eye-catching, what is surprising is that the reputation of "Thrush" is not satisfactory, even to the point that everyone shouts and beats it. So, why did such a popular drama end up like this?
The main story line revolves around returning mathematicians to assist in the implementation of the national "Water Drop Project" and support the development of national defense. The heroine "Pang Hongmei" is the public security officer responsible for protecting experts returning to China for research.
Such a setting should be warmly welcomed by the audience, and the expected spy war atmosphere was not reflected in the play. In the publicity before the broadcast, the hero and heroine made it clear that the plot was focused on their careers and did not involve scenes of falling in love. The actor Ji Danyang even said in a rhetorical tone: "I'm working on such a big project, do I still have time to fall in love?"As it turned out, they didn't get involved in a relationship, but they didn't delay their work.
The story is set in the fifties when the country was first established, and the importance of submarines cannot be ignored, directly related to China's coastal defense and the recovery of Taiwan at that time. In this scenario, the state even set up a special team in Lumen to be responsible for the project, highlighting the high level of confidentiality of the project.
However, the sense of secrecy displayed in Thrush is simply terrible.
When he was in Hong Kong, he was obstructed by spies when he was connected, and when he returned to China, he knew that he was not safe. The name of the actor Ji Danyang spread all over Lumen.
When the train station greeted the male protagonist, the director of the instrument factory forcibly brought the female No. 2 to send flowers to the expert under the pretext of showing off himself.
It is said that it is necessary to keep it secret, and everyone has to do their job well, but they can take people to meet experts at will without investigation.
Later, on the street, the second female number one kept shouting "Ji Expert", for fear that others would not know that they had experts here.
* Female No. 2 had contact with the specialist on the first day, and the next day it was rumored throughout the hospital that she hooked up with the specialist.
The other **s in the hospital are full of gossip.
This sense of secrecy simply makes the male protagonist look like a big star, and there are paparazzi to report his location at any time. Are you afraid that the spies won't find it?
In order to highlight the heroine's ability, her sense of secrecy is obviously stronger than that of the second female and others, but it is not that strong.
She said that the real names of the experts would be used in order to maintain secrecy.
However, when it came to the Hong Kong joint, the person sent from Taiwan obviously knew the name of the male protagonist.
Does such secrecy really make sense?
After the female protagonist took over the male protagonist's protection task, it may be to create a private space for them, and it has always been the female protagonist who protects the male protagonist alone.
The heroine really lived up to her reputation, and threw the male protagonist in place many times, and couldn't wait to say that she wanted to catch the spy. Although the heroine's boss criticized her actions, they were all stubborn and self-explanatory. Therefore, in this embattled protection, the male protagonist constantly encounters accidents, which hinder the progress of the project.
However, the reason why the male protagonist survived was not the strong protection of the team, but the business ability of the spy was not **. Obviously, the male protagonist likes to go out, and he has been left behind many times, but the spy has to be involved in **, poisoning and other fierce actions, resulting in the plan to kill the male protagonist has not progressed.
In "Meritorious", a group of scientists who play important national engineering scientists show a completely different atmosphere. In order to develop the hydrogen bomb as soon as possible, the scientists led by Yu Min put into work day and night, forgetting to sleep and eat. Unlike "Thrush", there is no grand ceremony before the start of the project, isn't this to give the spies a chance to play?
The same scientists who have returned from studying abroad, in "Meritorious", their clothing and state are more realistic and more in line with the actual situation of the country. Regardless of the pride of heaven who came back from studying abroad, everyone wore blue overalls and convenient glasses to devote themselves to computing work together. Such a huge project, gathering many experts to discuss problems, is also a common scene in "Meritorious".
However, "Thrush" does focus on the male protagonist drama Ji Danyang, creating too much aura for him.
In contrast, the secrecy in "Meritorious" is heart-wrenching for viewers, in stark contrast to the well-known expert status in "Thrush".
The phrase "this is the secret to be taken to the grave" is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every scientific researcher and audience, which makes people feel heavy.
When the wife questioned, "What the hell are you going to do?".Yu Min couldn't even answer frankly, every time it was just a "almost".
In this contrast, the plot of "Thrush" seems quite unrealistic, and the authenticity is greatly reduced. And the problems with makeup in the play are even more obvious.
As soon as the actress appeared, the audience felt that something was wrong. Is this the fifties?
With a white and greasy face, exaggerated eyeliner, red lips, and no ** texture, it really doesn't look like a character from the fifties.
The actor's makeup is also dramatic. Not to mention the comparison of other scientific researchers who are exhausted due to their busy work, the male protagonist is the most exquisite in the entire crew.
In the plot of the first episode, the male protagonist's eyes sparkle and his lips are carefully polished to appear too bright.
In the subsequent plot, the close-up shot shows the water inspiration of the male protagonist's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the eyeliner is very eye-catching.
Therefore, many netizens commented: "The eyebrow painting of "Thrush" is very well done!”
In terms of choosing clothes, the male protagonist, as a returning expert, is quite formal in a suit. However, the heroine's dress has caused a lot of discussion. Although the plot takes place in the fifties, the heroine's dress is clearly particularly eye-catching. Whether it is the upturned puff sleeves or the design that deliberately cinched the waist, it is designed to highlight the good figure of the heroine. Fortunately, the crew kept their sanity when designing the heroine's role, considering that she was a police officer and did not arrange the plot of wearing a skirt, otherwise Peng Xiaoran might face more criticism.
However, contrasts are still everywhere. Even the policeman ** worn by the heroine has been specially designed, and the waist is deliberately tightened. It is these small details that make the audience question the rigor and closeness of the "Thrush" crew. If you can't handle even these small places, then it's even more problematic when it comes to big sets and scenes.
The city where the plot takes place is Lumen, a place known as a city in the hinterland of Chinese mainland. However, seeing the brand-new red and white building where Xinhua Bookstore is located makes one feel as if you are outside the fifties. The speed of "Thrush" has accelerated, from two episodes a day to three episodes a day, in order to facilitate the rapid succession of the next TV series. Although the popularity is still the best, the word-of-mouth issue is more critical. Because excellent works will not be submerged by the market after all, and works of poor quality, even if they are smash hits now, are destined to gradually disappear in the tide of the times.
