Xianxia drama, as a unique genre of Chinese TV dramas, has been attracting attention for a long time. However, in recent years, the production quality of Xianxia dramas has shown a downward trend, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction and criticism from the audience. The recent hits "Sword and Fairy IV" and "Pray for the Present Dynasty" have become the focus of public attention, although these two dramas claim to have huge investment and strong casts, but they have suffered huge negative reviews after they were broadcast.
First, let's focus on Sword and Fairy IV. The play tells the tribulations and emotional entanglements experienced by Yun Tianhe, Han Lingsha, Murong Ziying and others in the process of finding the fairy sword. However, the performance of the actors in the play has been criticized. The actor Chen Zheyuan was accused of acting "greasy", and the heroine Ju Jingyi was criticized for her "stiff acting skills". The audience thought that the performances of the two leading actors were dramatic, and in addition, the costume in the play was also criticized for the rough production of the modeling and scenes, which was disappointing.
In contrast, "Praying for the Present Dynasty" is also facing a situation that is not optimistic. The play tells the story of a group of young people who go through hardships and grow up in the mysterious world of cultivating immortals. However, the characters and emotional lines in the play were criticized as monotonous and boring, and the plot progression seemed sluggish. The production of special effects and scenes was also considered shoddy, making the whole picture look very cheap.
The problem with these two dramas is not only the performance of the actors and the quality of production, but more importantly, they fail to capture the core spirit of Xianxia drama. As a cultural product, Xianxia drama is not only for entertainment, but also a form of cultural inheritance and expression. It should have deep cultural connotations and values that can touch the hearts and minds of the audience. However, at present, many Xianxia dramas pay too much attention to commercial interests and entertainment effects, and ignore the transmission of cultural connotations and values, resulting in a continuous decline in the audience's evaluation of them.
In addition, there are also some problems in the current Xianxia drama market. In order to pursue high ratings and commercial interests, some production companies often adopt a "fast food" production method, ignoring the quality and connotation of the work. This short-sighted approach not only affects the perception of the audience, but also has a negative impact on the development of the entire industry.
In addition, the audience's expectations for Xianxia dramas are also increasing. They are no longer satisfied with simple emotional entanglements and fight scenes, but pay more attention to the depth of the plot, the image of the characters and the expression of emotions. Therefore, if the production company wants to create a high-quality Xianxia drama, it must put more effort into the plot, characters, performances and production.
To sum up, the current Xianxia drama market is facing multiple problems and challenges. To change this situation, not only does the production company need to pay more attention to and work Xianxia dramas, but the audience also needs to look at and evaluate this type of work with a rational attitude. Only through the joint efforts of the entire industry can we produce more high-quality Xianxia dramas with rich cultural connotations, meet the needs of the audience, and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
At the beginning of 2024, domestic dramas generally performed poorly, and the audience was dissatisfied with this. Many of the productions were accused of being bad dramas and frustrating the audience. Against this backdrop, the upcoming series are under heavy pressure to win back the hearts and minds of the audience with a stellar performance.
Among them, the highly anticipated "Above the Clouds" has attracted widespread attention. This suspense drama is starring powerful actor Sun Li, who has always been known for choosing high-quality scripts. Working with his old partner Luo Jin again is even more exciting. The duo have previously worked together on highly acclaimed series, and this reunion adds the possibility of success for "Above the Clouds".
At the same time, the "Life of Pi" series has also attracted much attention. The upcoming "Youth Pie 3" will continue to tell the life story of "Xiamen Drift". The audience's expectations for this life drama are extremely high, especially when "Life Pie 2" has gained a good reputation after it was broadcast. However, at present, the audience can't wait for Zhang Jiayi's "Youth Pie 3", but instead ushered in his new drama "Happy Parents Group".
However, the performance of "Happy Parent Group" was disappointing. Although it was very popular in publicity, it was unanimously badly received by the audience after the broadcast. The plot is full of anxiety, too cliché, and lacks resonance with the average family audience. Although the cast is strong, including Zhang Jiayi, Chen Hao and other powerful actors, their performances are exaggerated and too forceful, which makes people feel dramatic. In addition, the director's skills have also been questioned, although the comedy elements in the play are tried, the overall performance is bland and boring, lacking a real sense of comedy.
Overall, the performance of "Happy Parents Group" did not meet expectations. Despite the strong cast and highly anticipated plot setting, problems such as poor directing, poor casting, and lack of realism and resonance in the plot have made the show unsatisfactory in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings. It is expected that in the follow-up plot, "Happy Parents Group" can be improved and present a better drama experience for the audience.
