At a time when popular dramas are changing with each passing day, the domestic TV drama market seems to have forgotten the bright color of the past - costume comedy.
But recently, with the stunning appearance of "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate" and "The Happy Affair of Lan Boudoir", this old drama has returned to the audience's field of vision. What is it that makes these new works rekindle the flame of costume comedy in the hearts of audiences?
In "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", through the wonderful interpretation of Zhao Jiaban led by Uncle Benshan, the tradition and modernity are perfectly integrated, bringing a different comedy experience to the audience.
Immediately afterwards, "The Happy Affair of the Lan Boudoir" showed Liu Lin's all-out performance, and both works were carefully produced by the newly created bench unit of Tencent**, which once again ignited the audience's enthusiasm for costume comedy.
But with the completion of these two dramas, there seems to be no splash in costume light comedies, and this situation makes people wonder, is costume comedy really just a flash in the pan?
Just when people have doubts about this genre, the debut of "Happy Scroll Paradise" has injected new vitality into the market.
Although I didn't expect much from this drama at first, its launch was pleasantly surprised.
In "Happy Scroll Changle City", the screenwriter's innovative efforts can be seen. The play no longer relies on online jokes, but focuses on originality, cleverly combining ancient stories with fresh stalks, creating a unique humorous style.
For example, in order to give his daughter a warm home, Li Tiandi, the father of the heroine Xie Quanjia in the play, decided to use all his family wealth to pay off all his debts.
But in reality, she lost everything because of an accident, causing her daughter Xie Quanjia to become a girl in debt.
Such a plot setting not only subverts the traditional opening of costume dramas, but also mixes a touch of irony and the bitterness of reality in humor.
The performances of the leading actors Ma Tianyu and Bu Guanjin add a lot to the series. Their roles in the play are completely detached from the previous stereotype, showing a new comedic talent.
Ma Tianyu's performance in the play is both natural and full of humor, which makes people laugh. And Bu Guanjin uses her Hubei dialect to add a unique charm to the character.
The processing of these details makes the characters more fleshed out, and also makes the comedy effect more natural and vivid.
The other characters in the series also have distinct personalities, and each character in the play has their own story and personality characteristics, and their encounters and interactions in Changle City form a vivid and interesting picture.
The reason why "Happy Scroll Changle City" can become a successful costume comedy is that it closely follows the pulse of the times, and reflects the living conditions of contemporary young people through the encounters and psychological activities of the characters.
This combination of reality and humor not only allows the audience to resonate with laughter, but also allows people to think about the true meaning of life in a relaxed atmosphere.
The series "Happy Scroll Changle City" not only made the audience laugh and cry, but also triggered people's deep thinking about life, dreams and reality.
In today's diversified TV drama market, it is possible to insist on originality and find new ways of expression.
And conveying a profound philosophy of life in a relaxed comedy atmosphere is the most appreciated effort on the road to rejuvenation of domestic costume comedies.
In the future, I look forward to more excellent works like this that can not only entertain the public, but also provoke deep thought.
