In recent years, the output of domestic dramas has become larger and larger. However, many netizens found that no matter what type of drama there is now, everyone must arrange a CP. Netizens jokingly said: "There is only one disaster in the love brain, and there are a lot of disasters in the CP matchmaking in the play." "How deep is the obsession of domestic dramas that everyone must be in love?
Everybody has to be a CP?Netizens have found a new slot for the so-called workplace drama "Love as a Camp" - "Matching Literature". What is "Trimming Literature"?The male and female protagonists are together.,The male protagonist's brother and the female protagonist's girlfriend fall in love.,The female protagonist's blind date and the male protagonist's little niece can also get together.,The male protagonist's assistant is also arranged to be with the female protagonist's colleagues.。 To put it simply, it is "elimination" and "continuous watching", and every character in the play will be "assigned" by the screenwriter to an object when he reaches the finale. Summed up in a diagram:
Each of the five bosses found five female reporters. The main theme is a "everyone has to fall in love". The same is true in the previous drama "Fireworks in My World", where the heroine and several other female ** from the emergency department lived in the fire station together in order to set up a fire rescue team. However, learning Xi is fake, love is real, and the female doctors and male firefighters directly began one-on-one relationship development.
"Matching literature" actually has a long history in film and television dramas. Let's take "Huanzhu Gege" as an example, if Xiaoyanzi and the fifth elder brother, Er Kang and Ziwei can barely be considered a reasonable relationship, but then in order to solve Er Kang's crisis, they forced Er Tai and Seya to become a couple. Whoever reads it doesn't say a word "with level orthodoxy in Qiong Yao".
Netizens lamented that the cp in domestic dramas is like a match"Passing ants have to fall in love", and no character is allowed to be alone. So why are so many episodes so keen on "matching literature" and so keen on everyone falling in love?
Why are domestic dramas keen on matching love?From the audience's point of view, the reason why domestic dramas are keen on matching is that romance scenes are more easily accepted by the audience. Love is the "greatest common divisor" that can gain the empathy of the majority of people in the largest audience. "If I live in Palestine now, then I may face survival problems, but most Chinese audiences, most of them will not have basic survival problems, so they may face work problems, family problems, and love problems. Screenwriter Hong Guo thinks so.
To put it simply, love problems can be more empathized with by young people, the main force of traffic, so if a drama wants to explode out of the circle, it must make the characters fall in love to the greatest extent. Perhaps, let each character have a love scene, so that the drama party can fully grasp this traffic dividend of the love drama.
Secondly, the brainless 1v1 assignment of objects in "Trimming Literature" is like an assembly line for shooting, which is fast and convenient. This kind of drama is simple to shoot, and there is no need to spend a lot of money on special effects like some dramas that emphasize the construction of plot and world view, and romance dramas are relatively more convenient to shoot.
Even if it is a romantic drama with a fantasy theme of Xianxia, as long as there are enough emotional lines in the play and correct the positioning of your own romantic drama, "Wumao special effects" or something can be forgiven, after all, when the audience sees that your drama is all in love, most of the time they will not ask for such a brainless romantic drama with the quality requirements of science fiction productions. "Matching" romance dramas not only have a small capital cost, but also have low requirements for screenwriters. If you don't know how to unfold a character, just "parachute" him into a partner to talk about love.
is also because everyone knows that such dramas don't need to be "watched with brains", so this kind of drama is also reviewed quickly, as long as there are no sensitive lines and pictures, it is almost inevitable to be on file. Therefore, these dramas are like assembly line products, and one can be produced in a few months or a year, and our market today is like this, which is gradually occupied by "matching literature".
Of course, from the perspective of publicity, there are many emotional lines, which means that there are many pairs of CPs. Promoting "knocking CP" is undoubtedly the best way to grasp the audience. Even if a pair of cps doesn't have a sense of cp and is not popular, it's okay, in the "Matching Literature" idol drama, there is always another pair.
The audience is wide, the producer is easy to create, and the promoter is also trouble-free, so "Pingping Literature" has become the "top stream" of idol dramas.
Can the trim still be a class match?The current "balancing literature" is not only about the "entertainment" that everyone wants to fall in love with, but also involves balancing according to class. Taste "Love as the Camp" again, the male protagonist is the boss, the highest power status, and the hostess with the heroine has to be a top beauty who will fall in love with anyone who sees it, and she is a leader in the journalist industry.
Generally speaking, the "class trimming" is divided down like this:The rich and handsome president is matched with the white rich female protagonist, and the male assistant of the male protagonist has to be matched with the female protagonist's best friend who is inferior in both ability and status. Replaced by costume dramas, it is the princess with the marquis, and the maid with the little maid.
This plot seems reasonable, but it reveals some strange values. There is an old-school idea that when I was a child, I read fairy tales and the prince must be a princess. This kind of preparation is like the ancient feudal society, the concubine with a low background must not be the queen, even if she becomes the queen, it is the so-called "rectification" first, and she is given a high position before she is worthy of marrying the emperor.
But now there is also a counterattack literature, which can be regarded as dissolving the phenomenon of equalization according to class. For example, the first person to be elected by netizens to be the first person to be equalized by the class, Huanbi.
Huanbi once expressed her emotional outlook to the prince: "If you like someone, you are willing to marry him as a concubine." On the other hand, if she doesn't like someone, the family is not willing to marry him as a wife. Watching this scene before, most of the audience may think that Huanbi just wants to climb high branches, and when she grows up, she will watch it again, but she has tasted a trace of Huanbi's preciousness, like an NPC who suddenly awakened in the protagonist's love copy. There is also the popular "Yanxi Raiders" in recent years, which is a little palace maid turning over as a concubine, and the fire of this counterattack plot can be regarded as showing that "matching literature", especially the form of class matching is no longer loved by the audience.
In short, whether it is class equalization or elimination and happiness matching, the reputation of domestic dramas that has never been able to go up is actually lost to ubiquitous love. The audience doesn't really hate love plots that much, and many romantic dramas such as "Parents Love" also have a good reputation. What the audience hates is just the values of love first, you can shoot love, but if every character can't live without love, it is not only unreal, but it may also convey the wrong values.
