Contemporary film and television dramas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, covering a variety of themes, and the speed of updating is remarkable. However, fewer and fewer can truly make a lasting impression and become a generation of classics. Although the times continue to advance, the production technology of film and television dramas is becoming more and more advanced, and both special effects and picture quality have reached new heights, when people mention classics, the first works that come to mind are still "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" and "Bright Sword".
For example, the sentence "eat my grandson" in "Journey to the West" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and although this drama has been around for many years, it still firmly occupies a classic position in the hearts of the audience. This is not accidental, because "Journey to the West" is not only adapted from one of the four famous novels, its plot and lines are far-reaching, the actors' excellent acting skills are impeccable, and the director has gone through countless hardships in order to truly restore the scenes in the play. ** The essence of artistic creation has long been pointed out.
If you want to understand the fundamental reason why today's film and television dramas are getting farther and farther away from the classics, you might as well open "**Anthology" to find the answer. Compared with today's film and television dramas, we will find that although there are many types, they are full of countless questions worth complaining about and evaluating. This sentence is from the "** Anthology", and it is also the important speech content of *** at the Yan'an Literature and Art Symposium. These words clearly pointed out that in order to win the approval of the audience, literary and artistic works must be closely related to the reality of life and objective facts.
**'s words can be called incisive and profound, with a strong forward-looking, and one sentence breaks through the essence and principles of literary and artistic creation. However, looking at the film and television content in the Chinese entertainment market, most of the works have long deviated from the principles and purposes of being close to the people and following reality. The fake embodiment of contemporary film and television dramas is in the plot, lines, and styling.
Take the role of Fan Shengmei in "Ode to Joy" as an example, she is under the double pressure of work and her original family, but she can easily carry a 10,000 yuan brand-name bag, which is obviously contrary to the original intention of character building. **Period, the situation is changing, the history is difficult, but in film and television works, gorgeous makeup and gorgeous costumes seem to be slightly out of reality. This kind of false image and dialogue that is out of step with the times is really embarrassing.
The recently acclaimed anti-drug web drama "Night Walker" continues the critical storm of contemporary film and television works, in which Song Yi, a female police officer, fights off a group of armed men alone, which is really incredible. No matter how powerful this female undercover agent is, it will be difficult for her to deal with more than a dozen armed men alone, right?This kind of forced rendering of the character image is incredible. And the anti-Japanese drama that has been criticized by the audience is even more so, and the depiction of hand-tossed devils has become an absurd plot.
In order to establish the heroic image of decent characters in the Anti-Japanese War, some film and television dramas do not hesitate to exaggerate the combat effectiveness of the characters, so that their skills are incredibly agile, and even one person can fight against the entire Japanese army. If history were as played out in the play, the War of Resistance might not have taken so many years. All in all, the current bad dramas are emerging in an endless stream, the audience is constantly criticizing, experts are calling for no result, and it is difficult for the film and television industry to save itself. Today's society is dominated by fast pace, and film and television dramas are also showing a trend of fast food.
Directors and producers no longer prioritize acting and quality, instead chasing heat and traffic, both of which can make money faster. The protagonists of today's TV dramas are often played by traffic stars, and even some stars have never acted in TV series, and they can easily become the leading actors just by virtue of their popularity and fans. The effect can be imagined, people who lack professional acting training just perform the role mechanically.
What's even more outrageous is that some actors don't even bother to memorize their lines and rely directly on cutouts and post-dubbing, which constitutes an insult and tarnished on the performing arts. As Lao Liang said in "Lao Liang Watching TV", the fundamental reason why many dramas are not loved by the audience today is a lack of sincerity. The sincerity of film and television dramas should be reflected in the lines, acting skills, and plot.
The acting skills of the actors, the fit between the costumes and makeup and the background of the plot, the reasonableness of the plot design, and the rigor of the logic of the details are all the keys to attracting more audiences. As *** once said, only works of art that are close to life and respect reality can win the love of the public, and only in this way can the quality of the works be improved and film and television dramas go to the road of classics. The recently hit TV series "The World" is undoubtedly a model of adhering to this concept.
Although the plot spans more than 50 years, every line in every episode is so real, and the life principles shown are worth the audience to chew repeatedly. The reason why "The World" is widely praised is not only because of its realism and profundity, but also because of the director's sharp casting vision and the superb performances of the actors. Whether it's the outstanding performance of the veteran actors or the breakthrough performances of the new generation of actors, the character portrayal is vivid and realistic.
The hit broadcast of "The World" once again confirmed a truth, only sincere productions and performances that are real and close to life are masterpieces that the people like to see.
