2024 has just passed two months, and the drama war in the film and television industry has begun, which is constantly hotly discussed. During this time, the period drama "South to North" starring Bai Jingting and Jin Chen has become the focus of the film and television industry. The plot is twists and turns, the characters are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the discussion of "South to North" on the Internet is also endless. However, even the best episodes have a day when they will have a finale. On the 26th, "South to North" came to an end, and the fate of each character was revealed. The audience began to worry about the next drama shortage, however, a new drama quickly appeared, produced by CCTV, which is also a period drama called "All the Way Forward".
Interestingly, the start time of "All the Way Forward" is also set for the 26th. This left the audience in a choice between two plays. Although everyone's hearts are still in the finale of "South to North", the opening ratings of "All the Way Forward" are good, second only to "South to North", and it still broke through the ratings of 2 in such fierce competition, which can be described as a good start for the drama. However, just after the broadcast, the audience's evaluation of "All the Way Forward" was divided, and a bad review was mixed with dissatisfaction and abuse. Originally, the high ratings should have laid the foundation for a new drama, but "All the Way Forward" encountered strong disgust from the audience.
Unlike "South to North", which tells various stories on the train, "All the Way Forward" focuses on the construction of the railway line. What's even more striking is that this film is adapted from real events, telling the miracle of China's railway construction history composed by 30,000 People's Liberation Army and 100,000 migrant workers. The groundbreaking ceremony of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway was held on June 15, 1950, and it also marked the addition of Luo Qianqian's status as a company commander - becoming a "pioneer". The task was arduous, and Luo Qianqian asked the soldiers who built the railway to be as conscientious and responsible as building their own houses, and to consolidate the roadbed. However, despite their great efforts, they still became substandard projects under high standards. Faced with the dilemma, Luo Xiangqian and his comrades jointly sought a solution, and finally developed a layered filling and tamping method.
However, difficulties in the construction of the railway followed, and Luo Xiangqian and the railway experts overcame the difficulties to pass the hurdles. The construction of the railway was far more difficult than one might think, with technical difficulties, natural disasters and sabotage by outside agents all standing in the way. The outbreak of the Korean War sent Luo Xiangqian's unit to the front, and although he longed to kill the enemy himself, he knew that building a railroad was also an important task. In the process of fighting wits and courage with the spies, they finally developed the method of layered filling and tamping. However, the problem was not solved, and everyone worked together, but at the climax, a natural disaster occurred, the railway encountered a landslide, and Luo Xiangqian was suspended from his job. In the end, the truth was revealed, and Luo Xiangqian was returned to his innocence, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway was successfully operated two years later, and Luo Xiangqian also reaped his own happiness. This authentic and touching story was brought to the screen and formed the main plot of "All the Way Forward".
However, despite the excellent subject matter and content, it was reduced to a bad drama due to the director's poor direction. A good subject matter needs good actors, and if the actors' acting skills and image are not in place, even the best script is in vain. Li Jian, the star of "All the Way Forward", is remarkable in his interpretation of the role of Luo Xiangqian, but the overall plot is outrageous in terms of directorial techniques. Especially in the fight scenes, the plot depicted in the play is too absurd and incredible. When Luo Xiangqian and his party faced the surprise attack, they not only encountered outrageous grenade shooting, but also exposed the irrationality of the plot in the dialogue. Luo Xiangqian's bravery and wisdom miraculously withstood the enemy's fierce attack during the surprise attack, making the whole scene seem ridiculous.
This outrageous performance doesn't stop there, and as the plot develops, the audience discovers more incomprehensible plots. Luo Xiangqian used a bamboo raft to block the grenade in the river, and this scene was even more puzzling. And after the final victory, everyone found that Luo Xiangqian and his party standing in the river turned out to be no deeper than their calves. This series of plot treatments not only makes the audience feel abrupt, but also makes people doubt the rationality of the entire series. Under such a plot setting, the audience's sense of devotion to the story is greatly reduced, and the originally eye-catching theme of railway construction has lost its original charm due to the director's handling.
A good subject matter, a good actor, but it was messed up by the director's handling. Although Luo Xiangqian, played by Li Jian, has ** acting skills, under the wrong guidance of the director, the plot is too absurd, which makes the audience feel an inexplicable embarrassment. However, the problem doesn't stop there. Lian Lian, the actor of the female No. 1 Ye Lan, also encountered problems in her image, although her acting skills were **, she was criticized by the audience because her age did not match the character settings in the play. Her appearance in the play is too different from others, and the young setting does not match her actual age, which makes the audience feel uncomfortable, and also affects the overall perception of the series. Such a question not only makes the audience question the plot, but also affects the reputation of the whole show.
"All the Way On" had the potential to become an excellent period drama, but the director's negligence and mishandling made it a much-criticized bad drama. The audience can't help but sigh in the process, even the best material needs to have a pair of eyes to discover and show beauty, and the director needs to be more careful and responsible when shaping the story to ensure that the audience can truly immerse themselves in the story. It is hoped that future entertainment works will be more careful in the selection of themes and actors, so as to present better film and television works to the audience.
