"Amai in the Army" has become one of the highly anticipated costume dramas this year, the story is inspired by the eponym**, which tells the story of the struggle of the heroine Amai to enter the military camp as a woman and finally emerge after ups and downs. Bringing together powerful stars such as Zhang Tianai and Shang Yizhi, the show attracted widespread attention in the early days of filming.
However, once it was broadcast, "Amai in the Army" suffered unsatisfactory reviews. The audience generally reported that the plot was flat and the characters were thin, especially the performance of the male protagonist Shang Yizhi caused a lot of criticism. It was originally expected to be an inspirational drama with the theme of female growth, but it became one of the most disappointing TV series of the year because of the prominence of the male lead.
In the original book**, Amai is a strong and intelligent woman who has broken through wisdom and courage in the army. However, in the series, the serious weakening of Amai's image makes the whole story almost dominated by the male protagonist Shang Yizhi, deviating from the core theme of "Amai in the army" in the original book.
One of the particularly prominent problems is the acting skills of the male protagonist Shang Yizhi. Although Shang Yizhi's role in the play should be smart, calm, and steady, the actor's performance seems contrived and out of the role setting. Especially in the scenes that express sad emotions, Shang Yizhi's acting skills make people feel unnatural, which directly destroys the atmosphere of the entire series.
Shang Yizhi's acting problems affected the perception of the whole play, making it impossible to recover the dilemma of the plot being destroyed even if other actors tried hard. The audience originally expected a story about women's independent growth, but they were forced to accept a lot of empty emotional dramas, and their perception was reduced to decadence.
The failure of "Amai in the Army" stems from the crew's deviation from the core concept of the original book when catering to the audience's taste and market demand. The adaptation of the drama series should be faithful to the original book, rather than misleading the audience and catering to the market. In order to succeed in the next adaptation, the crew should return to the original work, truly present the growth process of Amai as an independent woman, avoid fictional and useless emotional scenes, and pay attention to acting skills in the selection of actors, so as to win the recognition and praise of the audience again.
