At the beginning of 2024, the two highly anticipated TV series "Flowers" and "Dajiang Dahe 3" have set off heated discussions among the audience. Both dramas are set in the 90s, outlining a period of struggle and the emotional landscape of that era.
Since the launch of "Flowers", word of mouth has risen all the way and has become a hot topic. As a drama with business war as the main line, the audience praised the performance of the actors in the comment area, especially Hu Ge's excellent acting skills in playing the role of Mr. Bao, which left a deep impression.
This drama is not only because of the outstanding actors, but also because of Wong Kar-wai's unique scheduling, which makes the whole crew full of artistic atmosphere.
The original lines of Mr. You Benchang make the audience feel as if they have traveled back to Shanghai in the 90s, and the superb performances of actors such as Ma Yili and Tang Yan make the characters come to life.
In contrast, "Dajiang Dahe 3" encountered some difficulties in the premiere, and the ratings were not as expected. Although the first two films have accumulated extremely high word-of-mouth and popularity, the audience expressed doubts about the actors' acting skills in the comment area.
Especially when compared with other dramas such as "Flowers", people can't help but sigh why this drama with strong resources and team performs like this.
Song Yunhui, played by Wang Kai in "Dajiang Dahe 3", is considered to be the core character of the entire play, and his perseverance in the face of many difficulties left a deep impression on the audience.
However, the performance of the other two male protagonists was not so satisfactory, which made the tension of the whole play somewhat lacking.
The character of Lei Dongbao shows the consistent tiger-headed and disorganized characteristics in the play, but this also makes the audience feel a little monotonous.
In contrast, Dong Zijian caused some controversy when he played the role of Yang Xun. Some comments think that he is a little unable to express the complex emotions in the character's heart, which does not fit well with the atmosphere in the play.
The audience's doubts about the acting skills of the actors in "Big River 3" are not only limited to the leading actors, but even the performance of the supporting roles has also received some criticism. In contrast, the supporting characters of "Flowers" seem to be more able to inject soul into the characters and inject more human fireworks into the commercial atmosphere of Greater Shanghai.
In terms of plot design, "Flowers" has also won the recognition of many audiences. The storyline is reasonably arranged, and the development curve is natural, which makes the audience immersed in it and difficult to extricate themselves. On the contrary, "Big River 3" seems a little bland in some plots and does not bring too many surprises to the audience.
Overall, a successful TV series requires a good director, a great script, and superb acting skills from the actors. In particular, the performance of the actors is directly related to the audience's sense of identification with the characters and their preference for the entire series.
Through the profound portrayal of the characters and the high-level performances of the actors, "Flowers" successfully attracted the attention of the audience and became a dark horse in the ratings at the beginning of the year.
For "Big River 3", perhaps the high expectations have led to some disappointment from the audience. Although there are still some wonderful performances in the series, it seems to be slightly inferior when compared with other hit dramas of the same period.
Actors may need to work the performance level to present a richer and deeper character image to the audience.
In the end, the audience's evaluation of a drama is a combination of many factors, and everyone's tastes and opinions are different. I hope that future dramas will be able to bring more wonderful stories and touches to the audience with the joint efforts of directors, screenwriters and actors.
In this era full of TV drama choices, the audience's requirements for works are becoming higher and higher. The different fates of "Flowers" and "Big River 3" may lie in the audience's need for emotional expression and character depth.
It is expected that in the future, the TV drama industry can pay more attention to innovation and quality, and present a more colorful audio-visual feast for the audience. May each work strike a balance between art and commerce, and become a classic in the hearts of the audience.
