2023 turn the page Unknowingly, 2023 has come to an end, I thought that there would be no splash in the national drama market, but I didn't expect the competition between new works to be quite fierce. It's just that bumping gears is not terrible, and whoever is not good-looking is embarrassed.
The popularity of "The Three Teams" is far ahead, and Qin Hao staged a performance level that is not lost to the film version of Zhang Yi.
His wife Yi Nengjing has also released small compositions many times to promote him, plus there are no shortcomings in the plot and supporting cast, and the word-of-mouth exploded, which is expected.
But on the other side, "I Know I Love You" doesn't have such good data.
Idol dramas are really getting worse and worse year by year, Zhang Wanyi's decent appearance actually incarnates as a "male junior" in the new drama, hooking up with the heroine played by Sun Yi behind her current boyfriend's back, and the three views are shattered.
Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no contrast.
And now there are two new works to fight in the ring!"If Life Is Like First Seen" and "Flowers" will both be airborne tonight, and after reading the trailer, I want to say: one doesn't want to watch it, and the other will chase it to the end.
After 1 year, "If Life Is Like First Seen" has been brought up again!
still remembers that in July last year, this TV series, which had just been launched for only two hours, was urgently removed from the shelves, giving the audience a lot of turns.
Then the official explanation was that the broadcast would be postponed for technical reasons, but it did not make the audience feel comforted.
Later, some netizens speculated that it was probably because the prototype of the male protagonist in the play was a villain in history, but the plot was modified to a national hero who saved the world, and the whitewashing component was too obvious.
If there are really traces of "tampering with history" and "entrapment of private goods", it is natural that they must be dealt with seriously.
But whatever the truth, the takedown has become a fact. Now that the show has been raised again, it is inevitable that the audience's expectations will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the play tells the story of the first batch of progressive young people who went to study at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, such as the aristocratic boy Liangxiang (played by Li Xian) and the revolutionary party Yang Kaizhi (played by Wei Daxun), chasing love and defending the country.
On the surface, it is a drama with a historical background, but in fact it does not leave the love entanglement between young men and women.
In the final analysis, I'm afraid this is just another idol drama dressed in a historical theme.
Don't believe me?Take a look at this group of traffic actors.
Male lead, Li Xian.
With "Dear, Loved", he became the audience's "current boyfriend", and starred in "To a Windy Place" with Liu Yifei this year.
Although Li Xian is popular, he still relies more on the heroine to support the drama.
And with his acting skills, he is reluctant to mix in idol dramas, and it is difficult to explain if he really wants to move to historical dramas.
In the trailer, Li Xian's whip shape is not good, and the eye drama is relatively wooden, so let him take the lead alone, and the director is afraid that he is betting on the wrong treasure.
Not only that, compared with the heroines in Li Xian's previous hit dramas,Spring/summerIt is the existence of the most popular crotch.
The only bright spot is the second maleWei DaxunThis year's popularity is out of the circle, and fans can ensure that the popularity does not hit the streets, but I don't know if they can also get the word of mouth.
One word: enough to choke.
It can be said that it is not easy for "Life as First Seen" to be put on the shelves again, but such a "back to the pot" drama itself is dissuading people to quit, and it really wants to be launched at the same time as the ruthless drama of the big production, that is, to rush to accompany the run, right?
You must know that the competitor of the show is Wong Kar-wai's new drama!
What kind of script can make Wong Kar-wai polish for 10 years?
and let the starring Hu Ge shoot from 30 years old to 40 years old?
Answer: "Flowers".
The play tells the story of Shanghai in the 90s, full of opportunities, and the young Ah Bao (played by Hu Ge) has become a famous rising star in the business community on the Yellow River Road by working hard.
With the appearance of the mysterious woman Li Li (played by Xin Zhilei), his stable life is broken, challenges and difficulties appear one after another, and see how Po makes waves in this prosperous era.
When it comes to the Shanghai+ era, the audience will only think of cliché spy war dramas, and now they can finally play some new tricks.
Director Wong Kar-wai is the best guarantee of word-of-mouth, his works have always had a strong symbolism, using barren, lonely, and realistic brushstrokes to shoot the inner world of the characters.
The trailer of "Flowers" has its own movie texture and has a very distinct Wong Kar-wai style.
The bustling streets of Shanghai, the traffic is busy, and everyone's face is full of ambition, and they are moving forward bravely in the tide of the times.
The sense of story and fashion, these two elements are the most distinctive characteristics I feel in front of the camera, and they are also what the current Chinese dramas lack.
I think only Wong Kar-wai can fill this gap.
In addition, the lineup of the show is quite explosive when looking at the entire internal entertainment.
Actor, Hu Ge.
It's easy not to make a move, as long as you make a shot, it must be a ruthless drama called in the script.
Langya Bang", "The Pretender", too many classics are unforgettable.
Do you think Hu Ge hasn't appeared much in the past two years?No, he's just muffling up his moves.
Ah Bao, played by Hu Ge in the play, is full of vitality, and his eyes are full of longing for the future.
He plays a person, but not just a person, he is also the truest portrayal of thousands of young people in that era.
The female number one is behind the sight, Ma Yili.
Born and raised in Shanghai, a look and a turn can give the character distinctive characteristics.
This night Tokyo boss Reiko, handed over to her, steady.
Female No. 2 Tang Yan, the audience may have pinched a sweat.
But this time, the role of Miss Wang of the Foreign Trade Building is a straightforward character, which can be regarded as the type of character in Tang Yan's comfort zone.
And Wong Kar-wai has always been strict, it is said that Tang Yan's scene has been filmed 86 times, and he will definitely appear in the best condition.
In addition,In the play, there is also an old drama bone You Benchang in charge.
He plays the master's uncle, his face is full of traces of the times, his eyes are shrewd and sharp, and his temperament is unfathomable, he will be Bao's guide.
I'm looking forward to Mr. Yu Benchang's textbook acting skills.
Not only that, Xin Zhilei, Zheng Kai, Dong Yong, and Wu Yue all have an indescribable sense of story in the trailer, and the secrets behind each character are curious.
This is the charm of Wong Kar Wai's lens, and I am looking forward to it.
It can be seen that the gap between "Life as First Seen" and "Flowers" is quite obvious.
Although the former is a historical drama, it is rich in idol color and historical is not rigorous enough, which will surely cause a lot of controversy after it is broadcast. And the strength of the actors is not enough to support such a heavy theme, and they deserve to persuade the audience to quit.
But the latter is different, the theme of the era is the "sweet and sweet" of the past two years, and the story of the era of Shanghai can only be seen in spy war dramas, such a drama that depicts the group portrait of the times in detail is too rare.
And director Wong Kar-wai personally handled, carefully produced, with a strong and powerful lineup, it is difficult not to be popular.
Now that these two dramas are about to meet the audience, I don't know which drama you want to chase more?
