In 2023, 10 domestic dramas with high hopes will be reduced to an embarrassing 4 3

In 2023, 10 domestic dramas with high hopes will be relegated to an embarrassing 43，

What have happened to these once-high-profile dramas?Is it the problem of the creative team, or is it the aesthetic fatigue of the audience?Let's explore the stories behind these episodes and see if there's a turnaround or a complete disappointment.

2023 can be described as the heyday of domestic dramas.

In this booming grassland, there are phenomenal hits like "Hurricane", a unique sci-fi universe like "The Three-Body Problem", and a reputation for word-of-mouth masterpieces like "The Long Season".

There are more than 20 masterpieces with a Douban score of 8 points, as if there is an exquisite drama emerging every month. The reasons behind this success are not complicated.

In recent years, the economy has been struggling, and the haze of the epidemic has invaded, making the golden sign of the film and television industry no longer so easy to show. However, after the tide recedes, the dramatists who remain on the stage can polish their masterpieces with peace of mind and perseverance.

However, there are also failures under the golden jade. In addition to those high-profile and high-reputation works, there are also some substandard works in the hit dramas that were broadcast at the beginning of this year. Before these dramas were broadcast, they were full of gimmicks and star-studded, and they were praised like flowers on the Internet. However, once they were broadcast, they quickly revealed their original form.

According to the convention, with the Douban score as a reference and the popularity as the auxiliary, we selected 10 domestic dramas that people were looking forward to before the broadcast started, but they were full of emotion after the start of the broadcast. Below, we start with the tenth part, ** where these plays are disappointing.

no.10 "Echo" Douban score 59 points.

Starring: Song Jia, Wang Yang, Bao Bell, Wu You, Zhu Yuchen, Dong Jie.

Feng Xiaogang once again set foot in online dramas, this time "Echo". However, despite his high expectations, he failed to succeed again. The reason is not difficult to understand.

This drama originates from iQiyi's "Fog Theater", and is unique to suspense, delicacy and compactness. Director Feng Xiaogang is good at showing the emotional problems of middle-aged men and women in the city, which is fully reflected in works such as "Mobile Phone", "A Sigh" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". Wang Shuo's spicy lines subtly satirize the current society.

"Echoes" unfolded along the trajectory of a suspense drama at the beginning, telling a bizarre ** case. The plot begins and turns, cleverly laid out, and the audience's curiosity is also aroused. However, halfway through the story, it suddenly takes a turn and begins to delve into the protagonist's marital problems, turning the case into a kind of foil. Frankly, such a plot twist makes young viewers feel a little unhappy.

The audience originally expected to see the criminal mystery and human entanglement in the "Fog Theater", but found that the plot deviated from expectations and became a marriage lesson on screen. This kind of performance of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep disappointed young audiences. Among the fifth-generation directors, Feng Xiaogang seems to be the first to show creative fatigue. While his directing skills and aesthetic remain top-notch, his clichés from twenty years ago are clearly no longer well suited to the needs of today's market.

Feng Xiaogang was not surprised by the less-than-ideal response to "Echo". He admits that this work is not destined to be a sensation, but at this age, he just wants to shoot such a work, and it is already satisfying to have a young audience willing to enjoy it. Feng Xiaogang's attitude is still very sincere. Overall, "Echo" is not a bad drama, but Feng Xiaogang has gone in the wrong direction.

Perhaps he knows that this road is not smooth, but he still bravely tries to integrate suspense and family ethics, trying to move towards a new exploration at this age. However, it is a pity that the broadcast effect is not satisfactory.

no.9, "Even if the Wind Rises", Douban score 59 points.

Starring: Jin Dong, Song Jia, Tian Yu, Yang Jue, Sun Chun, Ni Dahong, Liang Jing, Xin Zhilei.

Jin Dong and Song Jia, do they show signs of chasing heat on their faces?

This drama starring Jin Dong and Song Jia wraps the story of family ethics in the coat of a workplace drama. However, this drama profoundly reflects the characteristics of the times of domestic dramas, revealing that family dramas and ethical elements are the most popular public elements. Although the first half of the workplace scenes are exciting, the final destination is in trivial family trivialities.

Jin Dong has a face that is loved by his mother-in-law and is recognized as the "grandmother killer". He is obsessed with the character of the old cadre, and the whole drama seems to be the manifestation of his spiritual world. And the plot seems to be unreserved, from the beginning, the topic of gender antagonism and sexism was **, and the three words "chasing heat" were directly engraved on the face, and the next plot continued to unfold in endless disputes.

In general, "The Wind Rises" is just a middle-aged idol drama. If you're looking forward to a career role, you'll be disappointedBut if you appreciate Jin Dong and Song Jia's appearance, and like to watch handsome men and beautiful women get tired of being together, then chasing this drama may be a pastime.

no.8, "Ode to Joy 4" Douban score 57 points.

Starring: Jiang Shuying, Yang Caiyu, Zhang Jianing, Zhang Huiwen, Li Haofei, Dou Xiao.

Is it "Happy Four Beauties", or "Mouth Replacement"?

"Ode to Joy 4" and "Ode to Joy 3" are out on the same day, and the shooting time is like water. Perhaps because of its huge size, it was cut into two sections, and 8 months of time isolation were like a whirlpool of time, slowly unfolding.

Although the story is still blooming in the Ode to Joy community, the faces of these two works have changed dramatically. The new force rises, and the old glory is like a cloud of smoke, drifting away without a trace.

Coming to the fourth part, the trough of word-of-mouth seems to have become the norm, and the popularity can only be gloomy. The series may have been fresh and tasty when it debuted, but the success of the first two seasons didn't last, and it was essentially just a wave of dividends on women's topics.

Although this kind of drama has been criticized, there is always a group of loyal fans. These viewers don't care about the excitement of the plot, they just want to sit in front of the screen and listen to the mouths of several female characters smacking their lips in the trivialities of life.

Therefore, although "Ode to Joy" has a score of only 5 on Douban in the second partIn the case of 4 points, the next two parts still came as scheduled. The writer's task is easy and simple, just build a few female characters, give them different characters, and inject some trendy female issues, and the whole series can move forward.

As for who the "Happy Four Beauties" are, whether their acting skills are excellent, and whether the storyline is colorful or not, it no longer matters. The audience of this series only needs an outlet, an endorsement, to tell them about the dissatisfaction in life.

no.7 "Who is he" is based on Douban 56 points shine debut.

The starring cast is huge, with Zhang Yi, Chen Yusi, Ding Yongdai, Yu Haoming, Zhao Yang, Liu Guanlin, Crystal, Qi Kui, Shi Liang and other strong casts. After the stroke of genius in the first ten episodes, however, with the development after ten episodes, the plot gradually drifts away, like the shattering of a sweet dream.

Who is he" is a crime suspense drama presented after "Hurricane", however, the contrast between the front and back is like two different worlds.

In the two dramas, Zhang Yi played the role of a policeman, and the broadcast time was not far apart, which naturally attracted the audience's comparison.

In the first half, the show got off to an excellent start. The plot is fascinating, drawing on the Nanda corpse crushing case, the story suspense progresses layer by layer, the love scenes are grasped just right, and the overall presentation is a subtle dark atmosphere, which is not inferior to "Hurricane" in terms of perception, with a Douban score of 82 points.

However, after the tenth episode of the story, it began to collapse. The plot gradually became chaotic, the level of the plot gradually declined, and even the love line lost its original tension during this period of time. For a crime drama, the biggest suspense is to reveal the identity of **, but with the decline of the plot level, many viewers have become tired and no longer pursue the truth of **. From 82 points sharp** to 56 points, which can be called an avalanche, really makes people feel excessive.

In addition, this drama also caused Zhang Yi's acting skills to fall into controversy. The characters are homogeneous, and the performances are slightly similar, and the audience expressed their tired feelings about it. Recently, during the viewing of "Priceless Treasure", a female doctor studying at Tsinghua University raised doubts about the homogenization of Zhang Yi's performance.

Although Zhang Yi asked rhetorically while laughing, saying that the doctors of Tsinghua University would not have the same personality, and they would dress uniformly like policemen, such an answer inevitably had some sophistry flavor. It is hoped that with the increase of Zhang Yi's popularity and the number of works, he will be able to absorb the audience's suggestions, have the courage to try different types of roles, and return to the old road he walked before the fire, which is the audience's favorite Zhang Yi.

no.6 "The Disappeared Eleventh Floor" Douban score 54 points.

Starring: Pan Yueming, Chen Shu, Guo Jinglin, Wan Peng, Yu Jiwei, Sun Yan.

This play should perhaps be ...... under the title of "Lost Thinking".

This much-anticipated suspense drama has been expected by everyone, and many viewers have high hopes that it can create a word-of-mouth miracle like "The Long Season".

Pan Yueming and Chen Shu co-starred, and Sun Yan, who had portrayed "Tang Xiaohu" in "Hurricane", joined in, with intricate plots and countless highlights.

As everyone knows, soon after the broadcast, this star who was pinned on hope came to an abrupt end amid noisy accusations.

The whole show is not full of problems, the only problem is that it is disrespectful to the audience's IQ.

In the case, the director repeatedly emphasized the close attention to the inner ghosts, and the result?

The protagonist is suspicious of the horse team from the beginning, but allows him to kill all the chicken feathers in the first episode.

The protagonist already knew that Sheng Liya was an inside line sent by the eldest brother, but he allowed her to lurk quietly at home for a full 20 episodes, and brought back the *** information hidden in the skull to the eldest brother.

The protagonist repeatedly sacrifices himself and almost falls short of a car accident, and his subordinates repeatedly disobey orders and act without permission, almost plunging the entire team into the abyss.

The irony is that in 2023, there are still people who can easily teleport the blade into the detention center.

All kinds of loopholes are like countless disappearing brain cells, it is appropriate to name this drama "Lost Thinking", it is really a fool to take the audience.

Pan Yueming fell into a career trough due to the divorce, and later became popular again with the series "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

However, in recent years, his body has become more and more plump, and he has starred in several inferior works one after another, and the quality of the follow-up works of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is difficult to replicate the original glory.

He really should reflect on himself and stop squandering his second spring.

no.5, "Stalker" has a score of only 5 on Douban3 points!

The starring lineup includes Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Xin, Wu Xiaoliang, Wan Qian, Wang Zhifei, and Li Nian.

This drama does have a strong "Huang Xiaoming" style, and it is ridiculous to think carefully. When Huang Xiaoming, who likes to play cool, meets the charismatic Jiang Xin, the two prominent characters are involved in spy war disputes, which makes people laugh. This combination is really unexpected.

Spy war dramas emerge in endlessly, "Rebel", "The Pretender", and "The Informer" are overwhelming, and now there is another "Stalker", which is dazzling. It's a pity that this "Stalker" failed to bring too much new ideas from the naming to the plot to the interpretation.

Huang Xiaoming plays a generalist spy in the film, who lacks skills, supports his family, and deals with various forces, such a role is not easy. Brother Xiaoming, don't you really feel tired?And some of his signature actions, such as taking coffee beans out of the cigarette case and chewing them, in order to avoid leaking secrets while dozing, are simply full of personality and character. This kind of setting makes people laugh, which is quite unique to Huang Xiaoming.

However, in addition to the lack of new accidents, the loopholes in the plot cannot be ignored. For example, a traitor actually hid in the closet for 8 episodes, and the audience sweated for it. In the end, the director seemed to think of him and asked him to take the wire heroically, and the plot twist was quite abrupt.

There are also problems with the pacing of the whole play. At first, in order to attract the audience, the tense and exciting plot is dizzying, but as the story develops, the pace gradually slows down, causing many people to give up halfway. Such an imbalance has become the epitome of the decline of spy war dramas.

no.4 "Good Things Come in Pairs" has a score of 5 on Douban1 point.

Starring: Zhang Xiaofei, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jiani, Li Zefeng, Zhao Xin, Ke Lan.

It's a pity for Zhang Xiaofei, she seems to have a layer of cautious veil on her body.

Good Things Come in Pairs isn't vulgar, it's unattractive.

The storyline seems to have carefully intercepted, isolated, and polished the emotions of Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan in "Thirty Only" into a unique drama.

Even the role of the scumbag's husband was chosen by Li Zefeng, who once played Xu Huanshan.

The biggest change is that this time the original partner and the junior actually joined hands to sanction the scumbag, and then the original partner unexpectedly met a handsome and rich boyfriend.

An ordinary story of cheating in marriage has actually turned into an inspirational story of women helping each other, and in the end, it is even more innovative, presenting a wave of Mary Sue-style plots.

However, this kind of story may be appropriate to tease little girls on the Internet, but it is difficult to resonate with our aunts and mothers-in-law when it is broadcast on CCTV.

Huang Xiaoming's appearance is even more hilarious.

In last year's "War of the Roses", he even devised a dazzling appearance with a baseball in his hand, which was exaggerated to the point of comical.

In this drama, his appearance turned into riding an imported folding bicycle, with a mysterious smile and slow motion, which made people feel extremely embarrassed.

Of course, the focus of the whole drama is still on Zhang Xiaofei.

The Golden Rooster Award actress set foot in a TV series for the first time, which was a very attractive selling point.

However, it is a pity that Zhang Xiaofei is only performing in an independent female role of a good wife and mother who "will not be too bad as long as she acts according to the script".

The audience seems to have revisited the plot of Gu Jia in "Thirty Only" again, which is a little unsatisfying.

As the saying goes, a house leak happens to rain overnight.

This script was originally controversial in terms of word-of-mouth, and recently because Zhang Jiani enjoyed the Crazy Horse show, it caused a series of waves.

Soon after the end of the series, "Saving the Suspect" starring Zhang Xiaofei was released again, but it encountered a cold winter in the cinema chain, and the final box office was fixed at 400 million.

It is undeniable that Zhang Xiaofei's fortune this year can be described as bumpy, not so much "good things come in pairs", but rather a calm wave.

no.3 "Infernal" won 5A high score of 0.

Starring lineup: Jin Dong, Wang Likun, Wang Zhiwen, Zhang Zhijian, Qidao, Tinni.

Wang Zhiwen replaced the role of Chen Daoming, and this period of substitution for three years made some subtle changes in the whole play.

Infernal "will complete filming in 2021, and Jin Dong is not only the starring role, but also the producer. The total investment reached 2100 million, Chen Daoming was originally invited to participate, and the lineup can be described as luxurious.

However, Chen Daoming's withdrawal made the show a little sour. The filmmaker urgently found Wang Zhiwen, who was on the same stage as Chen Daoming, but it was not a big problem.

Originally, "Infernal" was the opening drama of each David TV in 2022, and it was pinned on high hopes and was considered to be the "new peak of spy war dramas".

The trailer released at the beginning is full of sincerity, and the picture is full of cinematic texture. It's a pity that after that, "Infernal" suddenly lost its news and failed to meet the audience for a long time, which makes people feel a little strange.

By March of this year, when it was finally official, everything had changed. The drama party, the platform side, and the actor side did not promote it much, and this spy war production was quietly broadcast. By the time it was over, many viewers didn't know that this show existed.

As a loyal fan of spy war dramas, Pi Ge was full of expectations for this drama, but after chasing 10 episodes, he gave up halfway.

Director Qi Dao not only led the filming of the entire play, but also served as the screenwriter and starring, and this drama deserves to highlight the word "Qi". Every episode is almost full of unexpected reversals, what kind of situation is "strange" in pursuit of "strange"?

This clever technique may attract the viewer at first, but over time, the viewer will feel unreal.

The logic of the characters seems untenable, the audience cannot integrate into the plot, and it is difficult to resonate even if the plot has ups and downs.

Wang Zhiwen existed as the pinnacle of the whole show, but he didn't officially appear until episode 8, giving people a sudden feeling.

His aura is extremely powerful, and compared with the protagonist Jin Dong, he immediately pales in comparison, which directly affects the overall perception.

Although "Wind and Rain Sending Spring Back" brings together Jin Dong, Wang Zhiwen, Zhang Zhijian, Wang Likun and other actors, most of the time in the play is still focused on the competition between the characters played by Jin Dong and Qidao, and the star flavor is not as strong as expected.

Of course, with the golden sign of Jin Dong, the show can still maintain good ratings, and the synchronization of the three satellite TVs has also added a lot to it.

It's just that for Jin Dong, the reputation of many works in recent years has not been satisfactory, and this crisis should no longer be ignored.

no.2, "Wind and Rain Sending Spring Back" Douban score 44 points.

Starring: Wang Zhiwen, Yu Zhen, Yu Feihong, Wang Like, Lu Nuo, Chen Long.

An actor overshadowed ...... whole drama

Some dramas were produced a few years ago, were put on hold for various reasons, and suddenly restarted.

Despite the success of meeting the audience, the probability of this type of drama being criticized is quite high.

Either it is obsolete because of the passage of time, or it has been heavily cut, in short, it becomes unobstructed.

"Wind and Rain Blowing Back" is such a drama.

As early as 2018, it was filmed in Hangzhou, and was originally named "Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection".

Obviously, the crew tried to borrow the aftermath of "In the Name of the People" to create a grand officialdom anti-corruption drama.

"In the Name of the People" has just ended, but the creative scale of anti-corruption dramas has been tightened. In this play, the inappropriate remarks of one of the leading actors sparked public outrage, like a thunderclap stirring up waves on the tranquil lake.

Although this series gathers Wang Zhiwen, Yu Feihong and other powerful actors, after the filming is completed, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, and it is rumored that it will never see the light of day again. Five years later, when it finally aired, it had already taken on a brand new name.

However, the audience found that the plot was cut to pieces, and Yu Zhen's AI face-swapping performance was even more awkward, and the quality of the whole drama was clear at a glance.

no.1. Douban score is as high as 44 points of episode, "The Right Way to Open Your Life".

This drama starring Huang Bo, Mei Ting, Zhu Zhu, Tian Yu, Sun Jian, and Zou Yuanqing, with a Douban score of 43 points!

Huang Bo faced the problem of mismatch of roles in this drama, but fortunately, after this drama, he seemed to have found his performance scene. Huang Bo has been facing performance bottlenecks in recent years, and most of the characters he has created before are low-level small people, with a wild nature. However, with the increase in popularity and the fortune of his figure, Huang Bo felt that it was not suitable to play Dick Si again, so he began to try to transform and challenge characters with different identities.

In "The Man Caught by the Light", he plays a middle school teacher;In "Winning the Championship", become a volleyball coach;And in "Mozart in Outer Space", he is incarnated as a father. However, this series of attempts does not seem to have been warmly received by the audience. After a few unsuccessful attempts, he decided to change tracks and try to complete his transformation path through a TV series.

Thus, "The Right Way to Open Your Life" came into being. In this drama, Huang Bo plays a middle-aged man with a successful career, surrounded by several women. This is not only a TV series, but also a transformation work in Huang Bo's acting career.

It's quite appropriate for you to choose Jin Dong to play this role, but if you let Huang Bo play it, the beauties will flatter him, but it will look a little awkward. I have to say that Huang Bo's attempt was quite courageous, but the reality is cruel. The mismatch between the character and the actor directly affects the audience's emotional investment.

This script itself is a solid life drama, profoundly ** the middle-aged marriage crisis and the way husband and wife get along, with a profound and serious connotation. However, the incompatible combination of Huang Bo and Mei Ting makes it difficult for the audience to integrate into the plot. Mei Ting plays a chattering housewife in the play, and her performance is full of tension. Especially in one scene, the wife she played was emotionally broken, and even expressed it to her husband played by Huang Bo. This scene became one of the few highlights in the whole play.

However, most of the scenes unfolded in an atmosphere of discord, and Huang Bo's attempt could hardly be called a success. Fortunately, after the script failed, Huang Bo found his place in the film field. In the middle of the year, the three films starring him were released one after another, and they achieved a good box office and word of mouth, which can be regarded as a dangerous period.

From a positive point of view, the failure of this drama may be a useful attempt by Huang Bo. Overall, there are quite a few disappointing productions in the 2023 TV series.

Through inventory, it can be found that good TV dramas often have similarities, while bad dramas have different lightning points. It may be understandable that some creators have taken the risk of crossing their comfort zone and turning their transformational work into a bad show. But more bad dramas may stem from the creator's attitude towards creation. Even if you know that the script is not good, you still insist on completing the filming of the bad drama, which is really intolerable. Therefore, I hope that everyone will stay awake, keep your eyes open, and avoid stepping into these pits.

I hope that my country's filmmakers will think deeply, carve each work with heart, actively absorb the 20 masterpieces with that good reputation, and dedicate a truly amazing audio-visual feast to the audience.
