With the New Year's bell ringing, people are looking forward to a good drama to start the new year's drama viewing journey.
As the beginning of 2024, "Flowers" has successfully ignited the ratings war of domestic TV dramas, and its rave reviews have skyrocketed, adding luster to CCTV, and the success of this drama can be said to have won a full house.
Just as Wong Kar-wai's movie was about to come to an end, CCTV once again played a blockbuster card-
Dajiang Dahe 3" appeared with a far-sighted attitude, the famous brand of Noon Sunshine set off again, and the original cast returned strongly, obviously to win the double championship at the beginning of the new year in one fell swoop!
Even in the highly competitive evening ** time slot, only one episode was broadcast and 14 high ratings, ranking third in the country, this result can be said to be quite good.
Unexpectedly, when I looked at the comment area, it was a voice of dissatisfaction
The quality has plummeted"、"It's no different from the original, but it's a different name"、"One is not as good as the other"、"I can't stand it anymore"、"It feels like you're coping with something"And so on and so forth.
The audience's opinions were surprisingly unanimous, as if everyone thought that the third season was not on the same level as the first two seasons.
The score of the first two seasons hangs high on Douban8 points, but this season's new episodes have attracted a bunch of questions and criticism?After three episodes posted on the platform online, the feeling in my heart can be described in two words-
Under the weather. 
Compared with the exciting headwinds of the first two male protagonists, "Big River 3" has lost its charm in the past in terms of rhythm and development direction.
For example, let's talk about Song Yunhui's situation.
In the Pengyang factory, the technical improvement he was responsible for was affirmed by the quality inspection report, won the respect of all the workers, and it was a good moment to celebrate, who knew that because of the pesticide caused by the personnel **, he was suddenly taken away by the police. In the police station, a person with a wine bottle in his hand asked Song Yunhui if he was from a pesticide factory, and after Song Yunhui said "yes", the man suddenly smashed the wine bottle on his head, and there were several policemen standing next to him.
To be honest, there were a few policemen present, and this person could still wait at the door of the police station with a wine bottle, and when he did it, the police around him didn't notice this abnormal situation, which felt a bit outrageous.
After briefly treating the wound in the hospital, the deputy factory director hurried to the hospital, and when he saw Song Yunhui, he saw that his face was covered with blood and a piece of gauze was attached to his head.
Let's not mention that this kind of wound really bleeds so much, but when he bandaged him, why didn't anyone help him clean up the blood on his face?Will it be troublesome to rub it with a little alcohol?
What's even funnier is that when I was still paying attention to the blood stains on the male protagonist's face, the deputy factory director suddenly shouted at the police: "Who did it, tell me who did it!."”
Then, Song Yunhui refused to accept compensation, generously saying that he was not injured.
Immediately afterwards, several responsible factory leaders scrambled to take responsibility in front of the police, all saying that it was their own fault.
I'm the director of a pesticide factory, so you can arrest me. ”
No, get me!I'm the deputy factory manager in charge of production!”
The people who were sent to investigate were even asking on the spot, and I thought to myself, to determine who should be arrested and who should be dealt with, shouldn't you find out in private before you talk about it?I also asked in front of everyone, this operation is too strange, right?
The role of Lei Dongbao is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all.
Actually, I hope that in this last part, he can get smarter. Although Lei Dongbao has some ideas and dares to charge, he is too stubborn, and on the surface he seems to be able to deal with it flexibly, but in fact he still has that kind of tough temper.
After watching the first three episodes, he is still so strong and domineering.
It turned out that when he came out of the police station, he could be promoted to manager, and some viewers already felt that this was not logical. However, given the background of that era, this is quite acceptable.
However, when Lei Dongbao and the secretary ate with a group of former factory directors, it can really be seen that he has not matured.
Yang Xun's storyline in the play takes up 18 minutes in one episode.
This part of the content is mainly an emotional drama, arguing with my sister for a while, and feeling guilty for finding out my sister's hard work for a while. As one of the three major male protagonists, the beginning of his story is not attractive, and compared with the previous two male protagonists, it seems a bit empty and far-fetched.
After so many years of having so many men in the family, and as a result, they all relied on a girl to support the scene, I began to wonder if this plot thread should be turned to a female protagonist.
The cast selected by Noon Sunshine is not picky, and even the supporting actors are very good, and they all play very well.
is that the rhythm of this drama is too similar to "County Party Committee Compound", and many actors are "dug up" from that drama, it is easy to make people a little dramatic when they look at it.
Wang Kai and Yang Shuo's acting skills are still very strong.
Indeed, Wang Kai's acting skills have always been very steady, and he has almost never disappointed the audience. He acted very naturally, which is very consistent with the role of Song Yunhui played by him. There is no difference in makeup or aura, and his excellent performance is a big reason why the audience feels like they are back in the first two series.
Although netizens like to joke and call Yang Shuo the "Oil King", the character of Lei Dongbao itself is such a character.
If Yang Shuo can show some subtle changes after Lei Dongbao has experienced the ups and downs of his life like a rollercoaster in his performance, it may make the character more three-dimensional.
However, what really didn't feel right to me was Dong Zijian's performance.
For some reason, in the third episode, the director seems to deliberately use a lot of close-ups, as if to highlight his performance.
This scene is when Yang Xun found out that the money he earned through his hard work was actually earned by his sister bit by bit and used it to give their sick mother. When the mother knew that her son was living a difficult life, she decided to give him the money.
Thinking of his deceased mother, coupled with his sister's indifferent attitude before, Yang Xun finally couldn't help crying.
His heart was filled with endless regret and self-blame, as well as a deep longing for his mother, and his pain must have been very deep.
However, when I watched Dong Zijian's crying scene, I wanted to laugh more and more.
Big brother, at least shed some tears!
He did try a lot of exaggerated performance moves, one moment his face was wrinkled tightly, his hand was holding to cover one eye, and the other time he was looking left and right, his expression was in place, but he just didn't shed tears.
Brother, your mother passed away, and the family gave you a sum of money, you were originally quite happy, thinking that your sister was ignorant, and this strong emotional contrast should have instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
But you, acting a little too much, and saying "I'm sorry, Mom" with an absent-minded look really makes people laugh.
Personally, I think that "Dajiang Dahe 3" does have a bit of the shadow of "County Party Committee Compound".
I'm not saying that "County Party Committee Compound" is not good-looking, it's just that two different dramas should have their own unique characteristics. Although they are all dramas, the characterization and the progress of the story need to be more dynamic, more realistic and fulfilling.
However, watching the first few episodes of "Big River 3" feels like a perfunctory thing. It doesn't feel like the story is flowing naturally, but in order to make up an ending, I just put together three story threads.
Maybe it's because the first two films were so good, and after that, it's really hard to achieve another great result or at least reach the previous level.
Finally, I want to say that it is really difficult to maintain the initial popularity and praise of a drama brand.
In recent years, the dramas produced by Noon Sunshine seem to be a little inadequate.
Especially the "Ode to Joy" series, which was really red and purple at the beginning, made female-themed TV series occupy a place in the domestic market.
But by the time of the third part, the ratings and attention had plummeted, and the fourth part had hardly caused any waves, and even the fifth part was in preparation, but it seemed that not many people were paying attention to it anymore.
Such a deadlifted sequel may actually make the originally popular drama unmentioned.
I still hope that "Dajiang Dahe 3" can catch up with the rhythm in terms of plot, after all, Director Kong Sheng's ability is obvious to all.
I don't know what you think, do you think this show is good?
