With such a thorough magic change, why shoot it again?

With such a thorough magic change, why shoot it again?

In the past 20 years, there have been countless sequels to domestic masterpieces. To put it simply, from the early "Family with Children", "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and "The Story of the Cooking Class" to the recent "Langya Bang", "Ode to Joy", and "Dajiang Dahe", although some sequels continue the glory of the first part and push the entire series to a new peak, there are also cases where they start high and go low, destroy the characters, and lower the overall reputation.

For example, the sequels of "Ode to Joy", "Forensic Qin Ming", and "Heartless Mage" are simply miserable compared with the first one. Some works, obviously the plot of the first part is complete and brilliant enough, why do you want to launch a sequel? And why are the audience so resistant to the sequel of a good drama? Today, we will launch a sequel from the perspective of why a sequel is launched, whether it is necessary to launch a sequel, what causes the sequel to fail, and how to avoid failure. In fact, there are many factors that affect the launch of sequels in domestic dramas:

One is that the drama itself is adapted from ** or anime, and the content of only one is not enough to finish the original work. However, most producers won the adaptation rights of the entire series of the original book when they signed the contract. If the original work is hot, even if the first part of the drama is a bit of a hit, there is a probability that the sequel will continue before the contract expires.

is like "Fighting Horses, Terrifying", which is so bad that it is almost ridiculed by the whole network. As for the reputation of the first film, which was ridiculed out of the circle, the filmmaker dared to make a sequel. They are the courage to come! Is it in the company's all-day ** Liang Jingru's "Courage"? I still gave too much money when I signed the contract, so I simply broke the jar and broke it to see if I could hit the bottom**. Under the backdrop of this drama, the first season of the anime, which was also ridiculed, as well as the adaptation of the same period, can "proudly" say: Hey, sprinkle water, it's reasonable The behavior of the "Dou Po" drama can be called "boundless love and selfless dedication".

In addition to "Qingyunzhi", "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Douluo Continent", this kind of drama that blindly relies on the popularity of the original work to make a sequel. There is also the first one with a good reputation, and the producer clearly rubs the heat traffic. For example, "Forensic Qin Ming", "River God" and "Heartless Mage". This is not difficult to understand, after all, the market has always been in a state of oversupply, more monks and less porridge. The audience's energy and time to watch the drama are limited, and it is rare for a work to be popular, and the producer will naturally not let go of this popularity and high traffic. And there are many sequels to works that are separate story content, so if you don't watch it, you won't be affected.

The first season of "Ode to Joy", which was launched in 2016, has a really good reputation. This group portrait work with women as the protagonists tells the story of the run-in between five women with different backgrounds and personalities, as well as the transformation they experienced in the process of growing up. With the groundbreaking and freshness of the all-female protagonist, the show successfully shared the joy of female dividends at the time.

However, with the launch of the second season, the plot inexplicably fell into the collapse of the protagonist's character, the water injection of the plot and the self-destruction of word of mouth. The focus of the story, which originally focused on women's independence and self-reliance, shifted to vulgar emotional entanglements at some point. Coupled with a large number of advertising placements, it completely destroyed the audience's perception and led to a sharp decline in the reputation of the entire series.

In addition to the above points, another reason that prompted the filmmakers to launch a sequel was the original script, and the story is not yet finished. The audience expects that the filmmaker will be able to fix the character settings and storylines in subsequent episodes to regain the original quality.

While the audience is looking forward to it, similar to the two high-profile dark horse hit dramas in 2022, "Crime Hunting Guide" and "Tang Dynasty Legends" have become highlights. Let's talk about the "Crime Hunting Guide" first. When I first saw the main character configuration of this drama, it was as if I had traveled back in time. After all, before this, my impression of the two-male lead drama was still stuck in the 20-year-old "** Detective" and "Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red".

Although "Crime Hunting Guide" focuses on two male protagonists, it is essentially an original group drama. The characters involved in each case, no matter which side they are, have extremely distinct personalities. Especially Shen Yi, one of the male protagonists, is a character with a great sense of contrast, gentle and arrogant, showing a complex and rich personality.

It makes people want to dig deeper into the stories and secrets behind him, adding the elements of the mysterious women and the organization behind the show that have not been explained in detail, as well as the gripping tail left at the end of the first season. At that time, countless netizens, including me, were very much looking forward to having a second season to fill the mystery, and even launch more exciting sequels later.

After all, in recent years, there are very few excellent works on the theme of criminal investigation that can arouse people's strong interest! As for "Tang Dynasty Legends", it can almost be regarded as one of the most anticipated online dramas in the past two years. Whether it is the portrayal of the characters in the group drama, or the intricacy and unpredictable changes of the case, the undercurrent between the forces of all parties has made the audience fall into deep thinking.

And the chic and smooth martial arts scenes add a lot to the background of the story, the scenery of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the restoration of the costumes. "Tang Wei" is perfect, with almost no obvious flaws, which has always been concerned by fans of the show. The audience who are looking forward to my pit explanation may wish to use practical actions to launch a wave of enthusiastic support in the comment area.

Now the second season of the show has entered the late stage, and according to reports from all parties, it is even expected to be released this summer. And what I'm most concerned about at the moment is: the director! I look forward to the second season being cut and broadcast at the same time and presented to the audience as soon as possible. In addition, there is the first.

III. Fourth, when will the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth seasons start filming! But in order to avoid the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, I decided to lower the expectations of all the unaired sequels a little more. After all, today's domestic dramas, compared with a single finished work, are easy to start high and go low, and it is common for sequels to be unfinished. The reasons for this phenomenon are also complex and diverse. Let's dive in!

What are the reasons for the unfinished sequel of domestic dramas, and how to avoid unfinished plays.

If there are unmentioned influencing factors and solutions, friends are welcome to communicate and supplement in the comment area

First of all, it is difficult for the original team to gather.

The actors of the sequel, especially the core protagonist group, have changed their names without changing their names, which is definitely the most difficult point for the majority of audiences to accept. This change not only makes the audience feel a sense of loss, but also destroys the coherence of the series to some extent. In a sequel created on the basis of the plot of the previous work, once the actors change, it will make the original story and characters have a sense of detachment. This sense of detachment further exacerbated the audience's discomfort with the sequel, affecting the overall look and approval of the series. The best examples are "River God 2" and "Forensic Qin Ming 2".

Before the filming of "River God 2" started, the male protagonist of the first season, Li Xian, was unable to participate due to his poor physical condition, so he chose to be played by Jin Shijia. Although the crew has been replaced, the impact of this personnel change cannot be ignored. In the first season, the emotional line of the four-person team was already very full, although only the male protagonist was replaced, but most of the audience was more difficult to accept.

In the eyes of the audience, the fit between the new actors and the original characters is inevitably questioned, and it is difficult for the audience to immerse themselves in the plot as before. When watching the drama, it is difficult to enter the plot, and the emotional drama of the male and female protagonists is even more awkward to watch. After all, it is still the "Little River God" and "Little Goddess" of the first season, which are too good for the "enemy" CP, so that the audience just wants to see them complete.

Compared with "River God 2", the protagonist group of "Forensic Qin Ming" has been changed more thoroughly. Starting from the second part, each sequel, it is a big change of blood for all members, and the protagonists are different. As a result, in the end, it never had the flavor of the trio in the first season! This radical personnel change led to a sense of rupture in the plot, making it difficult for viewers to build empathy for the new characters and re-experience the emotional resonance of the first season. To this day, my impression of the film and television drama "Forensic Qin Ming" is still stuck in the first season.

It feels like waiting for them to get together again and remake the sequel to "Forensic Qin Ming" is even more distant than when I see the fifth season of "Sherlock" before 2030. This long-awaited reunion seems to be far away in front of you, triggering endless expectations and longings.

The well-known period series "Dajiang Dahe" is well arranged in terms of casting. The casting of the actors is appropriate, and each character seems to jump out of the page of a book, bringing it to life, adding a richer sense of layering to the series.

From the first season to the current final season, its protagonist group has always been the original cast. This group of actors with full tacit understanding consistently presents a deep and full character image for the audience, making people feel the flow of time and the profound heritage of the story.

And there is also a coherence between the stories of the three seasons, and the beginning of each part will connect to the end of the previous one. This continuous narrative technique makes the viewing process of the series seem like a coherent and smooth journey, which makes people can't help but be immersed in it and difficult to extricate themselves.

Whether it is the character design or the plot, it will not make people feel inexplicably separated, and it is very friendly to the audience's perception and experience of chasing dramas. The personality characteristics and growth trajectory of each character have been carefully shaped, and the layout and development of the plot are natural and tense, bringing the audience a soul-shaking audio-visual feast.

and the series "Ode to Joy", which is also produced by Noon Sunshine, although the starring roles in the first three seasons remain the same, the plot is crazy. The originally high-quality drama series lost its former luster due to the sudden change in the direction of the plot, and the audience's expectations for the sequel also decreased.

It's a pity that word of mouth has collapsed all the way. The once glamorous drama is now criticized for the poor direction of the plot, and the audience's disappointment is difficult to hide.

There is another very important reason why the sequel of domestic dramas often pulls the crotch: that is, the producer had no plans to make a sequel at all in the early stage of production. Many episodes were not made with the possibility of a sequel in mind during initial production, resulting in a far-fetched plot of the sequel and a significant reduction in the coherence of the previous work.

In fact, many domestic dramas started filming sequels after they were broadcast, because of good feedback from the audience. However, this way of "making up lessons after the fact" often leads to uneven quality of sequels, and it is difficult for the audience to meet their expectations for sequels.

However, the story and characters of the first season are complete enough in themselves, and the sequel will seem to be more than a snake. Some episodes have already reached perfection in their first season, and a sequel may destroy the original integrity and become a superfluous addition.

It is not surprising that most of this kind of "pseudo-seasonal" works will be reduced to unfinished projects. In order to meet the deadline or cope with the audience's questions, the producers often lack careful planning and preparation in the early stage, which ultimately leads to a significant decline in the quality of the series, and the audience's disappointment is understandable.

However, sometimes, in addition to the problems of the filmmaker itself, there are also some external force majeure elements that will affect the quality of the sequel. For example, Pan Yueming starred in the ghost blowing lantern series "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea". Although the original storyline attracted a large number of audiences, various restrictions and challenges during the filming process were unavoidable.

Or similar, works with more sensitive subject matter. Due to the overly sensitive content involved, the producers had to make drastic changes to the plot, which inevitably affected the overall quality of the series.

Before the broadcast, it is even possible that the finished film will be further deleted due to various unexpected circumstances, which will eventually cause the plot to be incoherent. From the first season of the series to the present, I have the same opinion as the majority of netizens about "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea": I am not satisfied. Although it can be seen, it is indeed a bit difficult to see.

In fact, domestic audiences have always had a high tolerance for domestic films to be "rotten". It's not that everyone can't accept the sequel, it's just that there are many works, and the taste of the dog's tail continuation mink is too strong. Especially for those word-of-mouth dramas, the audience's expectations for the sequel have risen to the ceiling. As a result, after several years of long waiting, it was only exchanged for disappointment again and again, which is really infuriating. If you want to ask me what I think of the sequel to the domestic drama, then I can only say that it depends on the situation.

There are some dramas with a good reputation, just let it exist in the form of an ending white moonlight. Stop having a sequel and ruin the relationship between each other! And some dramas are still suitable for a few more seasons. For example, last year's dark horse hit drama "Under the Prosperous City". Chinese aesthetics, treacherous and mysterious cases, just 12 episodes are not enough to watch! Director, wake up, get up and write.
