Emotional drama cannot surpass the 1990s "Desire" highlights the large talent gap for screenwriters
This is not to say that you can't watch domestic dramas if you stand in the chain of contempt, but that you can't stand the screenwriter treating you like an idiot. Regarding lines, you don't have to watch Korean dramas or American dramas. Interested viewers can watch "Journey to the West" reruns on summer TV to experience what a real and vivid language of life is.
seeing more is only one aspect, the key lies in how to learn. Dance beauty, design, and advertising placement are easy to learn, but the core things are creative methods and content.
original title: the concept of lines lags behind the times. Today's emotional dramas are not as good as "longing"to guess the bad plot of the finale in five minutes, lines spoken casually without thinking, hysterical actors, this is neither art nor good mass consumer products. Up to now, the potential of China's film and television market has not been really developed. Without a good screenwriter, the plot can not go out of the level of "desire" all the time, so it is very difficult to attract a higher aesthetic audience.
< strong > emotional dramas rely on the character "can't think of" to promote the plot < / strong >
following "my first half of my Life", a series of urban romance dramas such as "our Love", "Blind date" and "the greatest Flavor of the World is Qinghuan" have landed on all major satellite TV stations. Although the topic is average, the ratings are good, and the three dramas are firmly in the top five of prime-time TV series. However, judging from the Douban score, it is not too high. The score of "our Love" Douban is only 3.6 awkwardly, "the greatest taste in the world is Qinghuan" 4.7, and the highest "Blind appointment" is only 5.0 music-all failed.
I have seen these plays in general. To tell you the truth, I have committed "embarrassing cancer" while watching. Each play has the meaning of "talking about sorrow for the sake of giving new words".
" our Love ", it was heart-wrenching in the first half. Ding Xue, played by Tong Lei, and Xu Guangming, played by Jin Dong, are divorced because of a fake school district house. Unexpectedly, in the end, the fake show was really done, and the loving couple ended up going their separate ways. Among them, this couple, quarrel every word disagreement, Tong Lei even minute "anger" upper body, basically no time of peace of mind. Every time I watch this play, I have to turn down the volume of the TV by two frames, otherwise, I really love the TV.
"the supreme taste of the world is pure happiness" is even more "incorrect values". It is said that the husband and wife gradually alienate because of life problems such as house, work, and so on, and then each has a new lover. Some netizens said that it is more appropriate to call the play "the greatest taste in the world is the new love". Distressed once filmed "meet Wang Lichuan" such a simple and moving emotional drama director, a look back can only pick up this kind of plot depends on the protagonist "can not think of" to promote the TV series.
while" Blind appointment "tells the story of Jiang Xin's leftover girl summer, and Lu Yi's poisonous colleague Yang Shuo from" mutual resentment to mutual acquaintance "- this is the model of he Han + Luo Zijun. Lu Yi is also keen to copy the love golden sentences of teacher Lu Qi (note: emotional writer) from the Internet and give Jiang Xin a fierce education. Are these golden sentences fun? Not really. Can chicken soup warm the heart? Not really.
on the contrary, Jiang Xin's arrogance and vividness in the Legend of Zhen Huan are ruined by bad lines and distorted plots. On the Internet, there was a public name shouting that Jiang Xin was "cool and cool. I really can't watch it any more. Give me a red." Others criticized Jiang Xin for "being able to beat himself in acting, Jiang Xin was the first!"
I am a little worthless for Jiang Xin. As a matter of fact, Jiang Xin has always been a very diligent actress. When she acted in the Legend of Zhen Huan, she was not popular, watching her frown and smile, not losing half a point to Sun Li, who was already very popular. You have the ability to give Jiang Xin a good book to see if she can cry and laugh. It's not like you haven't seen her crying with rain and heartbreak in Ode to Joy.

throughout these years of urban emotional drama, the total feeling has not reached the level of "desire". Although the heroine Liu Huifang in longing also tends to be too high-minded in shaping her image, it can not be denied that Liu Huifang's living environment is true and credible.
her mother, brother and sister, Song Dacheng, who has a crush on her, and Song Dacheng's jealous daughter-in-law make you feel the real state of life. Liu Huifang's mother didn't like her son-in-law either, but the old lady taught her son-in-law that she would never have the tone and posture of Chen Junsheng's mother-in-law in the first half of my Life. She has the calmness, calmness and self-esteem of an auntie in Beijing Hutong, and she often gives her son-in-law back on a thousand pounds.
the emotional model in "desire" is also a woman and two men, and a man and a king were born in an intellectual family. This kind of family was born in that year, which is the most ideal mating family. Song Dacheng, the second man from Hutong, is the deputy director of the workshop. He has always been affectionate with Liu Huifang. After being rejected, he can only pair up with the second woman Xu Yuejuan.
but this suffocated man is not just a string of hutongs who follow the female master blindly. On the contrary, he has his own persistence and ideas. After being wronged and released from prison, after catching up with the restructuring of the factory, he became a deputy factory director with his own diligence and did business with foreign businessmen.
now look, many urban emotional dramas can't even catch up with "desire" except for stories. Take the above three popular emotional dramas as an example. Jin Dong in "our Love" is unable to communicate in the face of his wife's temper. Does the screenwriter think that as a researcher, he must have negative EQ? Or do you want to throw all the personality disorders to the origin of the "Phoenix man"?
if you are married, you must have a mother-in-law or mother-in-law who can mess with. Even if she is an intellectual, she must interfere with her children's marriage and family without boundaries. The parent-child relationship with a lack of a sense of boundary is indeed a common problem in Chinese families, but in TV dramas, we can only see the extreme presentation of the problem, but there is no hope or suggestion of reconciliation. And this kind of people, not to mention not out of the height of "desire", is simply not as good as the level of Qiongyao opera in the 1980s.
as for dialogue, the language is even more crude, which makes you "dance" every minute. With regard to lines, there is no need to watch South Korean or American TV dramas. Interested viewers can watch the summer TV station's rebroadcast of Journey to the West and experience what is meant by real and vivid language of life. You will think that Sun Monkey is neither an immortal nor a monster, or a living master of folk language, slang, colloquial sayings and one-liners.
do we idol screenwriters have a life? And how to experience the emotional communication in life? In "Why Sheng is silent," which has a good reputation, he Yichen often expresses his love to Zhao Mosheng affectionately. For example, he said, "Zhao Mosheng, I am crazy to let you trample like this." He also said, "what makes you think that Sam would want a divorced woman?"
these words can be read in a novel. Will you feel embarrassed if you put them in a TV series? Although such lines seem to be much better than silly lines like "Why don't you love me" and "how can I make you like me"?
am I asking a little too little? To tell you the truth, these conversations can't even catch up with my aunt and uncle rolling up their sleeves and quarrelling vividly.
< strong > there is a big talent gap in the field of screenwriting < / strong >
in fact, small-budget dramas with short parents can also be made very well. For example, the American TV series "our Day" and the South Korean TV series "the Men of the Bath owners", "Please answer 1988".
" Men of the Bath House "have a large number of loyal fans, from the post-50s mother-in-law to the post-90s young, sweeping across all age groups. The reason why the play is good is that it is very life-like, and the dialogue between the characters is also interesting. In this regard, Kim Soo-Hyun, a senior screenwriter who graduated from Koryo Women's University, plays an important role in her lines.
if it wasn't for professional reasons, I wouldn't watch some domestic TV dramas at all. This is not to say that standing in the chain of disdain, I don't like domestic dramas, but I really can't stand the writers to think of themselves as idiots. Watching TV dramas more often is to relax, while screenwriters often make me feel that life is unlovable and life is more boring.
as for the reason, Ma Weidu has said some thought-provoking words. He said that in film and television dramas, the screenwriter is the first, the director is the second, the actor is the third, and the rest of the mess is the fourth. But today, the director and the actor take turns to sit in the first place, and the screenwriter is the mistress. In fact, this also leads to a large number of outstanding talents did not enter this field. Those who can write may not be able to deceive, and those who can be deceived may not be able to write. When Yu Zheng and Guo Jingming sweep the film and television circle, the people who really want to write and can write may be complaining next to the TV series.
however, it seems that the writers are not entirely to blame for the ugliness of some domestic films and dramas. Feng Xiaogang said that the reason why there are a lot of junk movies now is that there are so many junk audiences! Feng Xiaogang is going to be miserable because of this remark, but after a careful taste, it seems that what he said is not entirely unreasonable.
up to now, the potential of China's film and television market has not been really exploited. A large number of highly aesthetic audiences are stranded in British TV dramas, American TV dramas, Japanese and Korean TV dramas, and their appreciation level and ability to drive consumption should not be underestimated. Without a good screenwriter, the plot will never be able to get out of the level of "desire", and it may be very difficult to attract these people to "join the game".
< strong > audience appreciation level also needs to be improved < / strong >
sometimes, you can't tell whether the audience's appreciation level makes the screenwriter succumb to the market into mindless, or the screenwriter is so poor that the audience's appreciation taste is even worse. At a time when some viewers watching American and Japanese TV dramas are unable to complain about domestic dramas, a large number of domestic dramas that humiliate people's intelligence are still coming in droves, while some people are still watching enthusiastically. Just like when I went to see "three generations and Ten Mile Peach Blossom", I racked my brains to imagine that I would spend so much money to make such a movie, and there were still people going to "lock the field".
and netizens said that "the greatest Flavor in the World is Qinghuan" has no reputation because Chen Qiaoen is old and is no longer suitable for acting as female number one, so he should give up his seat to young actors. This is a bit of an insult to the actress. Juliana Margaris, who plays the number one Alicia in the good wife, is nearly 50 years old, but she can still play the absolute heroine. This is the stereotype of the audience. on the other hand, it can only write plays that are suitable for actresses in their twenties and thirties, and it is also a failure of the screenwriters.
in this respect, you have to say that the IQ of both the creator and the audience needs to be improved. Obviously, Chinese viewers and TV people need to learn, and the market capitalization created by the low-end market is limited after all. Seeing more is only one aspect, and the key lies in how to learn. Dance beauty, design, and advertising placement are easy to learn, but the core things are creative methods and content. This year's "Alliance of military Advisers", for example, is an attempt that may affect many types of TV series in the future-- Chinese stories + the rhythm of American TV dramas. If you can add more reliable actors, the limited investment will really be thrown at the critical juncture. The market value behind this is considerable.
this does not mean that the urban romance series, which mainly presents emotion, should be as closely linked and spacious as the "military-adviser alliance." What you can learn is the excavation of the human heart, the complex insight into human nature, and the logic and emotional starting point behind all the plots. Otherwise, like most emotional dramas today, they float on the surface like oil, covering all the splendor.
