This TV series created with a huge amount of 800 million yuan is so frequent! Is the producer so disrespectful to the audience?
When it comes to filming mistakes in TV dramas, especially in some costume dramas, it can be said that it is well known. Even the 86 version of "Journey to the West" has goofs and is also famous in this regard.
During the filming of "Journey to the West", the conditions were very difficult, the whole crew only had one camera, and all kinds of shooting equipment were also lacking, which led to the inevitable appearance of some scenes that made the audience feel unreal during the filming process.
Sun Wukong is a magical character who can make amazing heels and can soar through the clouds, and in the episode of Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, the audience finally uncovered the truth about Monkey King's flying clouds.
Attentive viewers will notice that Sun Wukong is skateboarding, showing the skill of "flying through the clouds".
The six-year-old looks like he has learned a lot of skills while performing, but also skateboarding.
When Sun Wukong summoned the Earth Lord, he raised his hand to reveal a tight gray autumn coat, which seemed inappropriate in the fantasy world depicted in "Journey to the West".
Our Tang Seng is also keen on fashion wear, with white and blue shirts constantly alternating, dubbed "senior white-collar workers" by netizens, and they are also fond of modern fashion.
According to the incomplete statistics of netizens, more than 30 goofs were found after 25 episodes of "Journey to the West".
Problems with water pipes, machines, and sewer manhole covers are just minor problems, but in the episode "Guanyin Bodhisattva Regains the Red Child", when the Red Child is trapped between the blades and "tortured", we find out that these blades are actually made of cardboard, and we can even see the traces left by scotch tape.
But it's surprising that I didn't notice this back then.
It's rare for the audience to notice the error of these small details, let alone the frequent change of props in some scenes in the play.
Bajie once replaced the nine-tooth nail rake, and there were two big ears on the nail rake in the early stage, which disappeared when they appeared in the later stage.
The audience may not have noticed that Tang Seng's role was played by three different actors at different times.
Wang Yue successively directed classic clips such as "Black Chicken Country", "Woe to Guanyin Courtyard", "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", "Stealing Ginseng Fruit", etc., but because he wanted to shoot other films, he conflicted with Director Yang Jie's schedule and was finally replaced.
Xu Shaohua left the classic interpretation of his daughter's country and became the "Tang monk" who finally succeeded in learning the scriptures from Chi Chongrui.
In the 80s of the last century, not only was the equipment outdated, but the preparation period for the filming of "Journey to the West" also faced a shortage of funds, which led to the emergence of many goofs. Despite this, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is still regarded as a classic by the audience.
There are also a lot of goofs in the classic old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as in the scene of the meeting of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, a van appeared, which is really a bit of a "big battle"!
I wonder if the audience is using a microscope to observe the TV series, and even find cigarette butts on the ground.
Because of the frequent war scenes and the complexity of scheduling, there are often situations where staff appear in the camera, resulting in some low-level goofs, and it is incomprehensible that the post-audit is not aware of it.
Goofs in costume dramas are common, sometimes even unexpected.
For example, like this maid in tulle clothes, her back is curvaceous, but if you look closely, you will be surprised to find that the "ancient people" are actually wearing modern underwear, and the shoulder straps are so small that it is easy to ignore if you don't look closely.
With the passage of time, and nowadays photography and videography technology is advancing and well-funded, goofs should theoretically be greatly reduced.
However, some crews still continue to challenge the audience's receptivity, resulting in the shooting of outrageous goofs, which directly triggered strong criticism from the audience and appeared on the hot search.
It's you, it's "Long Moon Embers" that was mentioned!
Starting from the small details, it can be seen that this water pipe is quite conspicuous.
Despite being painted in the same red paint as the surrounding pillars, it is still easily recognizable as a product of modern society. As the line says, "Leave it behind, always a scourge".
Why aren't the auditors aware of it?
There is also a plot that shocked the audience, such an outrageous goofs scene has not been seen for many years.
The male protagonist was on the verge of death due to poisoning, and he had to cut his wrists to detoxify in a hurry, and he was about to bleed to death. The shot from the top shows the fragile beauty of the male main body with blood thrillingly, and people can't help but feel pity.
However, the sight of a glance sweeping the IV tube is very frustrating.
There was a mistake in the arrangement of the props team, the cameraman was not careful enough, and even the editing reviewer went to ** again?
Such an obvious goofs were not found by the three-layer screening?
Is the production of "Embers of the Long Moon" really as expensive and ingenious as it was advertised?
I doubt it.
The audience thinks that this kind of blood vessel transfusion behavior is too outrageous, but what is the reason for modern people to wear masks?
Although the focus of the camera is on the woman in purple, a large group of curious onlookers gathers around her, and the man wearing a mask at the edge of the camera becomes the focus of heated discussion.
This modern plastic basket looks very similar to the vegetable basket used to hold vegetables in the supermarket.
It's obvious that the audience can't deliberately pick on a prick because of such an obvious flaw!
Even though the audience was just appreciating the performance, how could the apparently perfunctory attitude of the actors not be infuriating?
This highly anticipated new drama, in addition to being criticized for being full of loopholes, was also accused of being "inferior" because of its makeup technology and filters, which led to the second hot search on the entertainment list.
The male protagonist's makeup is actually powdered to such an extent, because the makeup is not timely or the quality of the cosmetics is not good, no one can say. Please ask the makeup artist to be more careful.
Luo Yunxi's appearance in the play is still full of fairy spirit, which is quite consistent with the image of the male protagonist in the original book who is "weak" in the early stage. However, the traces of wigs and glue are too conspicuous.
Only 4 of these 6 teeth are white, which is a bit strange, but the technicians in the later stage are really careful to deal with the special effects of white teeth.
The heroine also has a scene where she "spit out" a blood waterfall directly on her chin, which not only makes people feel uncomfortable, but also does not match the actual situation.
Some viewers criticized the male protagonist for being too thin, but some fans of the original book said that in the original book, the male protagonist had been abused and hungry before he became a magician, so the thin image was reasonable.
The crew said they were making changes on the fly in response to some of the suggestions made by the audience.
On April 12, the Xianxia drama "Long Moon Embers" premiered, with a Douban score of 73 points, which is a good result in the same type of drama with mediocre performance in recent years, attracting more than 10,000 people within 29 hours of its launch**.
According to relevant data, "Long Moon Embers" has set a new record in the market share of the premiere of the same type of drama, and it has also increased the subscription rate of Youku** member accounts in the past three years.
Netizens have mixed reviews of the show.
The show accepted the feedback from netizens well, said that it would be revised, and thanked everyone for their support.
This attitude is at least correct, and it is better not to say what should be said.
Luo Yunxi, the actor who played the leading role, responded positively to everyone's comments that he was "too thin" and "so thin that he was out of shape", saying that he was "trying to gain weight" and "asking for a recipe".
Some viewers have unfairly criticized this because "thin" is a male protagonist.
The popularity of this TV series can be said to be quite high, and some netizens even suspect that these revelations may just be to create a topic, but even so, it cannot be denied that the marketing methods of "Long Moon Embers" are very successful.
Hopefully, these measures are not marketing tactics, because the popularity brought by the deliberate use of the "sword to the edge" publicity gimmick will not last long after all, but may lead to damage to word-of-mouth and be spurned by the audience.
Years later, people will likely only remember the outrageous goofs in the show and will bring them up again and again for criticism.
Only by showing strong strength can we win the hearts of the audience.
The investment of "Long Moon Embers" was uploaded on the Internet as 800 million, but the audience generally believes that the current level of this drama has not reached this level. Despite the "S+" production advertised in the early stage, only the marketing methods have reached this level.
Here is a tip to share with you: S+ stands for a super drama, which is at a high level in terms of production funds, production level and promotion. In China, dramas are usually divided into four levels: A, A+, S, and S+.
At present, the audience has mixed evaluations of "Long Moon Embers", and some netizens believe that this is the only Xianxia drama that can still be watched in recent years except for "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost". Whether or not the standard is met is still debatable.
I hope that this drama can bring unexpected surprises to the audience, just like what netizens expected, it will be low-key at the beginning, and then gradually sublimated.
In the production of TV dramas, goofs are actually a very common phenomenon, especially in costume dramas.
The Legend of Ruyi has previously become a hot topic because of a "crossing" paper drawing.
Huo Jianhua's "scum dragon" was sitting on the main seat and showing a performance of "not being angry and self-assured", but everyone in the crew didn't even notice the bag of toilet paper on the table next to him.
This familiar packaging and color made netizens jokingly comment: A certain breeze should give money to the crew.
In the drama series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is loved by the audience, it is inevitable that there will be some goofs that are discovered by the audience.
It is incomprehensible that this huge iron fence can transcend time and space, and it can convey an inexplicable "harmony".
When the audience watched the episode with a microscope, they were surprised to find that in the 38th episode of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", when Concubine Hua fainted due to heat stroke, the armor on her body that showed her identity was actually "modified" with a hairpin.
Netizens joked that our Hua Concubine Niangniang was so aggrieved that she fainted directly.
The audience is very happy about the watch worn by Cao Guiren and the false eyelashes that Zhen Huan is about to fall off, because it is really rare to encounter such an excellent drama, and these small loopholes do not hide its brilliance.
Why do "Long Moon Embers" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" both wear goofs, but the former can't get the audience's understanding like the latter?
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" can be said to be the best in costume dramas in recent years, whether it is in terms of plot direction, actors' performances, or the costumes of the whole play.
The goofs in "Embers of the Long Moon" are very significant, these mistakes should have been avoided, and overall, the level of production and acting are not admirable, and the audience's "tolerance" for this is relatively low.
"Embers of the Long Moon" has actually drawn attention to the audience's growing lack of sincerity in the production of film and television dramas, which is a good thing, and at least can inspire some crews to be more attentive when filming and reviewing.
Don't think you're "well-made" just because you hire Internet celebrity actors or use bells and whistles, domestic dramas should raise the bar and don't continue to be sloppy, otherwise the audience's ability to accept it will only gradually weaken.
