Recently, there are two TV series that have attracted a lot of attention and discussion from viewers, they are "All the Way Forward" and "The River is Sunrise". Both dramas are based on realistic themes and tell the stories of characters in different periods and fields. However, the audience's evaluation of these two dramas is completely different, one is called a "divine drama", and the other is scolded as a "bad drama". What is the reason for this contrast? What are the lessons of these two dramas that we can learn from and reflect on? Today, let's analyze it together.
The theme of the drama itself is very meaningful, and the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway is a glorious history and a touching story. However, the production of this drama was a big disappointment, from the plot to the performances, from the lines to the shots, serious problems were exposed. First of all, the plot pace of this drama is unbearably slow, an episode is more than 40 minutes, but there is no climax or twist, just a mechanical repetition of the road construction scene, which makes people drowsy to watch. There is no innovation or breakthrough in the plot, it just unfolds in a casual manner according to the outline of history, without any in-depth excavation or interpretation.
Secondly, the performance of this drama is also disappointing, the performances of the actors are all bland, without any highlights or breakthroughs. Although the leading actor Sun Yisun is a powerful actor, he did not play his level in this drama, his role Luo Xiangqian is a heroic figure, but his performance does not have any heroism, just a wooden and dull expression, without any emotional changes and details processing. The same goes for the other actors, who are all lifeless and have no personality or characteristics that make it impossible to see what their roles are or what their motivations are.
In the end, the shots of this show are also speechless, there is no beauty or creativity, just some monotonous and boring pictures without any tension or rhythm. For example, the scene of road construction always uses some large-scale distant and flat medium scenes, without any changes or switches, which makes people dazzled, and no details or atmosphere can be seen. There are also some shots that are obviously expressing some important emotions or themes, but they use some inappropriate or incongruous ** and dubbing, which makes people feel very abrupt and discordant.
In stark contrast to "All the Way Forward" is "The River is Rising", a drama with the theme of environmental protection, which tells the story of how a deputy mayor adheres to principles, dares to take responsibility, and has the courage to reform in the face of various environmental problems and entanglements of interests. The theme of this drama is also very meaningful, environmental protection is a hot topic at the moment, and it is also an important issue related to the country and people's livelihood. However, the production of this drama is eye-catching, from the plot to the performance, from the lines to the shots, it shows a high level and high quality, which is amazing.
First of all, the plot of this drama is so fast-paced that it makes people's hearts beat faster, an episode is 45 minutes, but there are countless climaxes and twists, which make people dizzy to watch, and there is no redundancy or procrastination. The plot also has a lot of innovations and breakthroughs, not only showing the truth and severity of various environmental problems, such as water pollution, air pollution, garbage disposal, etc., but also exposing the shady and conspiracy of various interest groups, such as corruption, power and money trading, black-box operations, etc., which makes people feel both shocking and thrilling. The plot is also exciting, and in order to increase the viewing and fun, a lot of interesting characters and events have been added.
Secondly, the performances of this drama are also amazing, the performances of the actors are very exciting, and there are many highlights and breakthroughs. Although the leading actor Huang Zhizhong is an old drama bone, he shows his new charm in this drama, his character Zheng Hanjiang is an honest and brave deputy mayor, but his performance has many layers and delicacy, he can not only show his firmness and decisiveness, but also his emotional changes and details are touching and admirable. The same goes for the other actors, all with distinct personalities and characteristics that make it clear what their roles are and what their motivations are.
Finally, the shots of this drama are also amazing, with a lot of beauty and creativity, not only a lot of shocking and spectacular pictures, but also a lot of detailed and moving shots, which make people fascinated, and they can also see the director's skill and level. For example, the scene of road construction always uses some close-up and close-up to show the hardships and glory of road construction, so that people can see the importance and value of every screw and every stone. There are also some shots that are obviously expressing some subtle emotions or themes, but they use some appropriate or coordinated ** and dubbing, which makes people feel very harmonious and beautiful.
In short, this drama is a tense and exciting "current record of officialdom", which has a lot of attraction and appeal, and it is a good drama worth watching by the audience. The success of this drama also shows the advantages and characteristics of some TV drama productions.
