Costume dramas, as a shining treasure of Chinese culture, have always been loved by the audience. However, the recently aired costume drama "Zichuan" has aroused strong dissatisfaction and boycott from the audience, and some people have even called for it to be taken off the shelves. Why did this high-profile work become a "pain point" in the hearts of the audience? How should the costume drama market be adjusted in order to win the favor of the audience again? Today, let's delve into this issue, how costume dramas can be closer to the audience, rather than "far from people's hearts".
1. "Zichuan" has a good reputation, and the audience criticizes constantly.
Since the costume drama "Zichuan" was broadcast, it has been criticized by the audience. The audience generally said that there are serious problems in the plot setting, character casting, and acting performance of the play. The original ** has won the love of many readers with its unique Western magical epic style and passionate pride, but the adapted series is a big disappointment, the plot is chaotic, the character settings are far from the original, and the acting skills are also questioned.
2. Directors and screenwriters: Carrying the heavy burden of poor reputation.
Regarding the collapse of the reputation of "Zichuan", the audience generally believes that the director and screenwriter are to blame. They overconfidently changed the plot of the original book in the process of adaptation, adapting a Western magical epic with a grand background into a bland costume drama, and the plot development is puzzling. In addition, the casting of the characters was also controversial, and the appearance and acting skills of the leading actors failed to meet the audience's expectations.
3. The relationship between the plot and the characters: It is presented in a mess.
"Purple River" also performed badly in terms of plot advancement and character relationship introduction, leaving the audience confused. The original wonderful story background has been adapted beyond recognition, and the power plot scenes are all supported by a few old actors, and the emotional dramas of the leading actors seem to be more drawn. In addition, the lines also seem nondescript, on the one hand, they copy the original book, and on the other hand, they add a lot of modern words, which is embarrassing.
Fourth, casting mistakes: both appearance and acting skills are broken.
In terms of casting, "Zichuan" also failed to meet the audience's expectations. Di Lin in the original book was described as a beautiful man with explosive appearance, but Liu Yuning's appearance disappointed the audience. Although his height meets the character setting, his appearance fails to meet the audience's expectations. The performances of the other leading actors were also mediocre, and their appearance and acting skills failed to impress. In contrast, although the performance of the actresses is acceptable, it is difficult to restore the reputation of the whole show.
Fifth, rough production: technical problems are frequent.
In addition to the plot and casting issues, "Purple River" is equally rough in terms of production. Problems such as improper use of filters and poor photography technology are frequent, leaving viewers disappointed. In addition, the drama also does not seem to be careful enough in the details, such as showing the actors' leg hair and other ** pictures to the audience, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
6. The audience appealed: Costume dramas need to be close to the people rather than "cold".
In the face of costume dramas like "Zichuan", the audience has called on the producers to be more close to the people, rather than taking the "cold" route. They believe that costume dramas, as representatives of Chinese culture, should grasp the aesthetic needs of the audience and pay attention to the cultivation of actors' appearance and acting skills. At the same time, the presentation of the plot and the relationship between the characters should also be more reasonable and exciting, so that the audience can immerse themselves in it and feel the charm of the story.
7. Directors and screenwriters shoulder heavy responsibilities.
Zichuan has a poor reputation, and the director and screenwriter undoubtedly bear important responsibilities. They overconfidently changed the plot of the original book during the adaptation process, but failed to grasp the essence of the story. A classic IP was adapted by them to look like this, which made the audience feel angry and disappointed.
As a treasure of Chinese culture, costume dramas should be better presented and inherited. However, works like "Purple River" disappointed the audience. We hope that the producers will seriously reflect on the feedback and needs of the audience, and strive to improve the production level and quality of costume dramas. Only in this way can we regain the hearts of the audience and the recognition of the market. At the same time, we also call on the audience to maintain a rational and objective attitude to evaluate the works of costume dramas, and give the producers room and motivation for improvement. Let's look forward to the prosperity and development of the costume drama market!
