Since the premiere of "Country Love 1" in 2006, the "Country Love" series, which is unique in the field of China's rural TV dramas, has successfully captured a group of loyal audiences after 18 years of precipitation, and has been continuously refreshed by Zhao Benshan and his ** to become a brand work deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Today, the "Country Love" series has reached its 15th season, with a total of 724 episodes, and with the addition of the first part that has been filmed, the total number of episodes has reached 804, and this number continues to climb. As long as Mr. Zhao Benshan is in good health and the enthusiasm of the platform and the audience is undiminished, "Country Love" is even expected to accompany the audience until the year of the character Xie Tengfei in the play.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, "hometown love" has become a necessary element to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and this year is no exception. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the official Weibo of "Country Love" released the first trailer after a long silence, indicating that "Country Love 16" is about to return to the screen, and the majority of netizens have also been able to open the online reservation mode.
Then, on January 29, "Country Love 16" was officially announced, and the play will premiere exclusively on the Youku platform at 6 p.m. on February 2, choosing to start broadcasting on the special day of the northern Chinese New Year's Eve - the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which just fits the scene of the Ivory Mountain Village celebrating the New Year in the play, and instantly brings the audience into a strong New Year atmosphere.
It is worth noting that the number of reservations for "Country Love 16" has exceeded the 2 million mark, and although there are different controversial voices every year, its strong communication power and influence should not be underestimated. Although the two official trailers released so far are less than a minute long, they contain a lot of plot signals, of which three major focuses are particularly eye-catching.
The first attraction is the new shuffle of the Ivory Mountain F4 pattern in "Country Love 16". Liu Neng, Zhao.
Fourth, the four families of Xie Guangkun and Song Xiaofeng will be the core of the main content of the whole play, and the originally pivotal role of Wang Laoqi gradually faded out of the center stage and was replaced by the up-and-coming Song Xiaofeng. Song Xiaofeng, who counterattacked from the security guard of the villa to the leading actor, won the recognition of Zhao Benshan with his unique knocking performance style, and now his status in the play is on a par with Liu Neng, Zhao Si and others.
Secondly, "Country Love 16" continues the tradition of praising newcomers. It can be seen from the ** clips circulating on the Internet that Zhang Xiaoying, who became popular as Gongsun Lirong in "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", also joined this drama, and the number of scenes has increased significantly, which has become another highlight in the play.
In the "Country Love" series, Zhang Xiaoying has also made sporadic appearances before, but the role is not prominent, and the audience is often not impressed after watching it. However, in the new season of "Country Love 16", Zhang Xiaoying's role treatment has been significantly improved, and as soon as she appeared on the stage, she staged a climactic rivalry with Song Xiaofeng, and the highlights in the trailer have been full of laughter.
The focus of the plot further shifts to the escalation of the contradictions between the three giants of Ivory Mountain, Liu Neng, Zhao Si and Xie Guangkun. These characters are the main jokes of the show, and the fights and calculations between them are always the core driving force for the development of the story. Judging from the trailer clip revealed in "Country Love 16", Liu Neng and Zhao Si seem to work together to run a homestay, but in fact, there is a hidden mystery. Liu Neng not only failed to become a partner, but became a wage earner under Zhao Si, and even faced embarrassing situations such as cleaning the toilet, and the high liquidated damages in the contract made it impossible for him to get out easily. Liu Neng was indignant after suffering from this nest, until he fell ill and was hospitalized. At the same time, Xie Guangkun pretended to be unfair for Liu Neng, but in fact fanned the flames, making the originally tense relationship more complicated, indicating that this season's conflicts will be more funny and fascinating.
In short, "Country Love 16" will be the stage for the three giants of Ivory Mountain to show their strengths, and the trailer in just a few tens of seconds highlights many contradictory nodes, which makes people look forward to the follow-up plot. Although "Country Love 15" ended in a reunion, it left several major suspense waiting to be resolved.
First of all, the screenwriter needs to properly deal with the main line of Xie Dajia caused by Yu Yuexian's death, how to continue the story line of Bigfoot Supermarket and its related characters Huang Shiyou, Wang Xiangxiu, Li Daodao, Ma Zhong and Wang Yun, so as to avoid affecting the overall plot balance; Secondly, various entrepreneurial stories in the play urgently need to be returned to the right track, such as Wang Xiaomeng's soybean products factory, Liu Yishui's farm, Xie Yongqiang's orchard and villa, and other business lines were once loved, but with the development of the plot, they once deviated from the topic.
"Country Love 16" should focus on showing the theme of comprehensive common prosperity, rather than just adding a few homestays; Moreover, the intricate love line also needs to give a reasonable ending, such as the emotional entanglement between Wang Xiangxiu and her two ex-husbands Ma Zhong and Li Daodao, and the four-cornered love between Du Xiaoshuang, Jin Yan, Xie Xiaomei and Zhang Zhongwei, etc., all need to be clearly sorted out;
Finally, regarding the adjustment of the proportion of the role of Wang Dana played by Zhao Benshan, it is different from his important position in "Liu Laogen" or "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", in the "Country Love" series, although Wang Dana's role is vivid and interesting, it is gradually marginalized, resulting in a decline in the reputation of the play.
The promotional poster of "Country Love 16" highlights Zhao Benshan's presence, and his shots in the trailer have also been deliberately increased, and the majority of netizens eagerly hope that the screenwriter can reasonably arrange Wang Dana's role and give Zhao Benshan more performance space.
