There are two schedules that are the easiest to achieve explosive dramas every year, one is the summer file, and the other is the winter vacation file, or the Spring Festival file. Although there are many popular dramas such as "Sauvignon Blanc" and "Lotus Tower" in the summer this year, the popularity is far less than that of "Hurricane" at the beginning of the year.
In 2023, excellent works will be released frequently, and the Douban score will be 8There are nearly 20 dramas with a score of 0 or more, however, there are not many phenomenal hit dramas. Tencent, iQiyi and Youku continue to make efforts this winter, trying to use the "bottom of the box" masterpiece to welcome the upcoming Spring Festival.
Tencent-produced dramas have always had a big advantage in terms of quantity, and this time it has also made full use of that advantage. Recently, the film and television drama "Flowers", directed and produced by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hu Ge, Ma Yili and Tang Yan, officially announced the news of the finalization, and the drama will meet the audience at the end of December.
From the production team to the cast configuration, the lineup of "Flowers" can be described as top-notch. Director Wong Kar-wai is an internationally renowned director, directing films such as "In the Mood for Love" and "The Grandmaster" are classics, and actors such as Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi have also won the Best Actor and Actress trophies for director Wong Kar-wai's works.
Wong Kar-wai's lens can be described as "beauty" in one word, he uses the beauty of light to the extreme, and the people and scenery under his lens give people an extremely delicate feeling. In that era when the three words of atmosphere were not rotten on the street, the pictures in the films he directed made people directly feel what atmosphere is.
"Flowers" is the first film and television drama masterpiece directed and produced by Wong Kar-wai, which will be launched in 2020, and the filming process is as solid as gold. Although many film and television dramas are frequently ** during filming, "Flowers" seems to be quietly hidden during filming, exuding an atmosphere of mysterious disappearance.
In addition to the prominence of the director's identity, the lineup is even more powerful. The actor Hu Ge became popular with the role of "Li Xiaoyao", and won the honor of Emperor TV with "Mei Changsu";The heroine Ma Yili has been a leader in the TV drama market for many years, holding several post-TV trophies, and Tang Yan of 85 flowers is also one of the leading actors.
The story takes place in Shanghai, so the main actors are all locals who speak Shanghainese fluently. Looking at the previously released trailer, it is not difficult to find that "Flowers" is impressive with its unique texture, with deep connotations in the hazy, beautiful style and chic, and the personality characteristics of the characters have jumped in front of you with only simple movements and expressions.
Blossom is arguably the most successful of Tencent's upcoming dramas, however, Tencent has also retained its trump card. According to the film list revealed by netizens, Tencent plans to broadcast two different types of idol dramas one after another, one is a costume idol, "Fairy Sword Six Qi Today" starring Xu Kai, a post-95 traffic student, and Yu Shuxin, a post-95 traffic Xiaohua, is expected to be broadcast in January.
The IP of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was all the rage in the early years, but a "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and a "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" have become classics that are difficult to surpass, and the subsequent dramas adapted from the IP have performed mesdiocre.
Tencent cleverly laid out the layout in the sea of dramas, attracted the audience with a variety of idol drama genres, and presented a colorful audio-visual feast for the audience.
This year, Xu Kai's two new dramas "Snow Eagle Lord" and "Le Youyuan" came out, but their performance after the broadcast did not cause a sensation as expected, which can be described as mediocre. In recent years, Xu Kai has cooperated with film and television superstars such as 85 Hua Yang Mi, and also cooperated with actors such as Zhou Dongyu who won the actress, but these dramas have failed to make a breakthrough in ratings.
In stark contrast, Yu Shuxin won a large number of fans and attention with "Canglan Jue" last year, although she has enough traffic and topicality, she seems to be unable to carry the drama.
After all, for a Xiaohua, it is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the film and television market, and it is more necessary to have excellent ability to carry dramas, which is not something that can be proved by a hit drama.
Therefore, compared with the costume fantasy drama "Sword and Fairy Six Qi Today", the audience is looking forward to Tencent's upcoming modern drama "In the Blizzard". This drama is starring Wu Lei, a new generation of post-95 students, and Zhao Jinmai, a post-00 up-and-coming flower, the story takes place in the "blizzard hour" and will be staged in the snowy season, which can't help but make people feel the ingenious arrangement.
At present, the number of pre-orders for the show has exceeded one million, showing the audience's expectation for the two young actors to perform together, as well as the hope for the plot of "In the Blizzard".
Unlike Tencent, which is trying to create popularity through large-scale publicity, iQiyi and Youku have opted for a "keep improving" strategy, and one of their upcoming dramas has attracted much attention.
During the Spring Festival, iQIYI will broadcast a period drama, starring Bai Jingting, Ding Yongdai and Jin Chen, called "South to North". Not only is the show highly anticipated, but it is also a straightforward demonstration of its commitment to high-quality production.
In recent years, there has been an endless stream of period dramas, and how to bring new ideas has become a problem. "South to North" has an ingenious solution, focusing on the profession. If "Glory of the Fathers" focuses on the forest farm, then "South to North" focuses on the train.
Director Zheng Xiaolong, who has directed high-quality dramas such as "Golden Wedding" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", is directed by veteran actor Ding Yongdai as one of the leading actors, young actors Bai Jingting and Jin Chen joined, and powerful actors such as Wang Jinsong, Ni Dahong, Liu Jun, etc. This lineup shows that "South to North" will definitely have an extraordinary performance.
Although it does not seek a large number and does not have the ultimate audience chasing, Youku can only bet on the cast. "Sauvignon Blanc" shows Yang Zi's strength in carrying dramas, while Youku is looking forward to the Spring Festival performance of "Love for a Long Time" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng.
The two leading actors, one is Yang Zi, who has created many hit dramas and relied on her excellent acting skills to gain a firm foothold among the post-90s actresses;The other is Fan Chengcheng, a freshman actor who was born in a talent show and relied on this year's broadcast of "Zeng Boy". Who is a real fighter, it is needless to say.
Except for the two leading actors, the other actors are relatively less famous, and the audience is not very familiar with them. This also implies that "Love for a Long Time", like "Sauvignon Blanc", needs to rely on the "big heroine" to support the entire plot.
However, "Sauvignon Blanc" has the support of the original IP, while "Love for a Long Time" seems a little powerless, and it is uncertain whether this drama can achieve such dazzling achievements as "Sauvignon Blanc".
With the Spring Festival approaching, the three major platforms are ready, "Flowers", "In the Blizzard", "South to North" and "To Love for a Long Time" are all masterpieces that many audiences are looking forward to.
It is expected that the quality of these episodes will live up to the expectations of the audience, and the outstanding performances of the actors will complement the expectations of the audience.
In the upcoming Spring Festival, these episodes are coming as scheduled, like blooming flowers, hoping that they can bloom in the hearts of the audience.
And the superb acting skills of the actors should be able to make the audience intoxicated and feel the double pleasure of the eyes and soul.
Finally, when it comes to these episodes, we have to mention the picture performance in them. These episodes may immerse the audience in a different world through vivid and clear images. For the audience, this is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual journey.
Wonderful in the past: The top ten word-of-mouth dramas in 2023 are released!"Hurricane" is only ranked fifth, and the first place is well deserved.
