Chapter 463: Reputation lost?(1/2)
Many people have watched "Langya Bang", but they may not necessarily know that Huang Xiaoming is the first candidate for "Mei Changsu" in Jiangzuo Meilang. It was a coincidence that Huang Xiaoming had just taken over the new drama "The Gorgeous Adventure of the Golden Fate" at that time, so he could only decline. Finally, he fell into Hu Ge, who was the first in online investment and was expected to be the most popular.
The story starts on August 29, 2006. Hu Ge, who is as prosperous as his career, suffered a serious car accident. After 6 hours of rescue, Hu Ge's face and neck were sewn with more than 100 needles on his face and neck to save his life. His assistant Zhang Mian died on the spot.
The media exaggerated that his appearance was destroyed and his friend passed away. Fans felt sorry for him. For a moment, all kinds of emotions hit Hu Ge's chest like heavy hammers. At this time, he did not know that this sudden disaster was the beginning of his phoenix Nirvana, which was broken and then established.
"If the skin is not perfect, then fill it with your thoughts" is what Hu Ge often said. In order to craft his acting skills, he plunged into the theater to perform dramas, performing for 8 hours a day. At the same time, the remake of the novel "Langya Bang" with a network click rate of over one million was bought by Hou Hongliang.
However, when he first found Hu Ge, he politely refused when he heard that it was a costume drama or a historical drama, because his purpose of practicing his acting skills was to get rid of the label of "costume prince" that was attached to him.
Later, many book fans felt that Mei Changsu and Hu Ge's experiences were exactly the same. If he had acted, he would have been at ease. Faced with the crazy invitation from his fans, he carefully read the novel and found that his experiences were so similar to Mei Changsu. So he found the director team to use his acting skills to dispel their concerns. After watching his drama "Dream of Dreams", the director team was impressed by his solid acting skills and the two hit it off.
On February 21, 2014, a week after the filming of "Langya Bang", Hu Ge posted a Weibo post: "Since I survived, I will not live in vain." It was this sentence that made Lin Shu come out of the novel. The young man in bright clothes and angry horses gradually overlapped with Hu Ge.
Hu Jingtian's experience has many similarities with Hu Ge's experience, but after all, he is a different person in the two worlds. If Hu Jingtian wants to copy Hu Ge's success, he needs not only a movie "Langya Bang", but also a handsome appearance, superb acting skills and hard-working professionalism. Did he do it?
In the opinion of the professional drama critic Jie Xiaofang, Hu Jingtian did it.
The first and second episodes broadcast tonight are relatively clichés, and the plot is explained by Mei Changsu’s personal information and the main storyline. He was originally the young general who was good at fighting and brave and resourceful. However, because of a Chiyan unjust case, the former young general was poisoned, his appearance changed drastically, and his inner scent was completely destroyed, and he had no force. From then on, he was sick and injured, and he relapsed from cold diseases. The reason why he came to Jinling was not to assist anyone ascend to the throne, but to take revenge.
Hu Jingtian performed very well, with lines, expressions and actions very well, showing the complicated feelings of Mei Changsu before going to Jinling and Jinling.
In addition, these two episodes also show a magnificent picture. The most intuitive points are that, such as meeting, worship, standing posture, sitting posture, etc., are extremely particular. For example, the opera and constellation range from fabric to embroidery dark patterns, jade crowns to accessories, are all very textured. For example, most of the lines use a structure of vernacular Chinese with classical Chinese, which has an ancient style and charm.
Combining these things together makes the original clichéd plot become quite clichéd, and everything looks natural and refreshing.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Xie Xiaofang turned the computer chair and said, "Come in."
"Which drama did you watch?" The person came was Xu Shan, the best friend who shared the rental with her.
"I'm watching "Langya Bang", what's wrong?" Xie Xiaofang asked.
"Hehe, just like me." Xu Shan said with a smile.
"Then, do you think it looks good?" Xie Xiaofang asked again.
"How to say..." Xu Shan sat on the edge of the bed and pondered: "I think there are too many roles in these two episodes, such as King Jing, King Yu, Prince Jing, Emperor Liang, Nihuang, King Mu, Little Prince Mu Qing, Xie Yu, Meng Zhi, etc. Although each has a clear personality, it will make people confused about the complex relationship between them."
After hearing this, Xie Xiaofang asked, "It just seems a bit difficult to see?"
Xu Shan nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Xie Xiaofang put his legs on the seat, hugged his knees with his hands, and murmured: "The pace is indeed a bit slower than Django's other dramas."
Recently, in the comment section of the drama reviews she posted, she found many replies with the same meaning - it was uncomfortable to watch the drama without fast forwarding.
I don’t know when, fast forward playback has become the standard for too many young people to watch dramas.
On the one hand, the fragmentation of time brought about by the electronic Internet has made everyone's time more and more fragmented. It feels a luxury to spend time watching a drama. On the other hand, even though TV series have been continuously this year, there are indeed not many good dramas. Because the shooting cost is huge, the series has to be repaid, so various water-filling rhythms have emerged, and a story that can be filmed in 2 or 30 episodes has been filmed to 5 or 60 episodes.
When Jie Xiaofang thought of this, he asked curiously: "Shanshan, if you can fast forward, would you choose to jump to watch this "Langya Bang"?"
Xu Shan shook her head and said, "I definitely can't do this. I just barely understand it normally. If I fast forward to read it, wouldn't I be confused?"
Jie Xiaofang smiled and said, "Yes, after all, this is a historical power plot drama. If you miss any link, it will lead to the plot being unable to be followed."
Xu Shan changed the topic and said, "I didn't find out before that Hu Jingtian is so handsome, and his ancient costume looks much more comfortable than some young and handsome guys now."
Xie Xiaofang sighed softly and said, "If he had not had a car accident and had not been hidden by the company, his achievements should be much more than that."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Xu Shan smiled and said, "After following Django, your future achievements will not be bad."
Xie Xiaofang agreed: "That's true."
Xu Shan got up from the bed, stretched her waist and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go and add "Three Lives Three Worlds Brilliant Weiyoung."
After she went out, Jie Xiaofang began to recall the details of the first and second episodes of "Langya Bang", and then told a document on the desktop, preparing to write a drama review.
At the same time, audience evaluations appeared on various platforms, as Django had expected in advance, with severe polarization.
"The texture, tone, and actors' acting skills are quite good!"
"It's a super textured drama, very much like a blockbuster movie!"
"You will know by looking at the costumes and make-ups, and you are taking the high-quality route."
...
Because of the filters, fans have received most praises.
"I was confused. I played more than a dozen characters, but I couldn't figure out the relationship."
"The plot is really good, I survived and changed my face, and refused to recognize each other for revenge. I have been the old routine of decades ago."
"After watching two episodes, the show is supported by the scene and the acting skills of the actors."
...
For ordinary audiences, good-looking is good-looking, bad-looking is bad-looking. Even Django wrote and directed by himself, he would not buy it.
Seeing this result, "Three Lives Three Worlds of the Brilliant Weiyoung" breathed a sigh of relief.
Django's drama has shown terrible dominance since "Little Fish and Flowers". The ratings and reputation are too scary. This time he invested 750 million yuan and found a large number of powerful actors.
However, the script that is most talked about seems to have problems.
Could it be...
Django is really as guessed by the outside world, and he is unable to do anything?
For a moment, many marketing accounts started to write about this matter.
——【How long can the altar last?】
——【The script is the foundation of a play. If you do it well, it will add icing on the cake. If you do it poorly, it will collapse the whole thing.】
——[It should be because I didn’t understand this subject. Historical power plot dramas are different from martial arts dramas, mystery dramas, police and gangster dramas. The focus is not on costumes, action dramas, and case reasoning.]
——[There are big problems with the pace. I wonder if watching TV series fast forward playback in the 21st century is a trend? The two golden episodes are too slow, so I will directly persuade most people to get rid of.]
——【No one is omnipotent, this is the consequence of raising one's weaknesses and avoiding one's strengths.】
...
Traffic is the lifeblood of marketing accounts. They have always been just concerned with traffic, no matter whether it is right or wrong. Many of them have not even read "Langya Bang". After reading a few comments, they will write it out.
And when the rhythm comes, the debate comes.
"This kind of superficial historical power plot drama is not those brainless Qing Dynasty palace dramas."
"Watching TV series is a relaxing mood, not a postgraduate entrance examination, it's better to be simple."
...
"It's over if you feel good, it's so complicated."
"Uh... it's a very simple plot and character relationship, can't you understand this?"
...
"No one likes to watch that kind of plot that revolves around a few main characters, and then a polyamorous relationship between the first male, the first female, the second male, and the second female, right?"
"In fact, it does not depend on the number of characters or the plot is too bloody, but on whether people can have the desire to continue watching."
...
As the saying goes, "Each carrot and cabbage has its own preferences." If you like it or don't like it, you can do it.
However, some keyboard warriors start not to evaluate the quality of a drama, but to create more topics for themselves or others to entertain themselves or others.
Taking advantage of this trend, the small movements on "Three Lives Three Worlds" were shaping up.
"I didn't expect that Da Mimi and Yanyan's acting skills have improved so much!"
"Yes, I was shocked. Are they still being criticized for their 'plastic surgery acting'?"
"How did Da Mimi say that line?"
"'I have always been a clear person with love and hatred, and I can't stand the sand in my eyes. If you let me down, I will not count those vows. I will abandon you and never meet each other!"
"Yes, yes, that's just this line, it's too domineering."
"I am worthy of being my goddess!"
...
Suddenly, a large number of positive reviews of "Three Lives Three Worlds" appeared on the Internet, which caused mixed reviews to hit "Langya Bang", which suffered a heavy blow.
At the beginning, with Django's own Buff, the number of online views was higher than "Langya Bang". Xigua Video was released in one hour and exceeded 10 million. Now, "Three Lives Three Worlds Princess Weiyoung" came from behind, and the number of views on Penguin Video exceeded 100 million.
The next morning, countless people stared at the national ratings network, waiting for yesterday's ratings report.
At nine o'clock, refresh the web page, and the ratings are released:
1. Blueberry TV, "Langya Bang" 1, 2 episodes, 7.25%.
2. CCTV One, "Three Lives Three Worlds of the Brilliant Weiyoung" episode 1, 2 episodes, 6.91%.
3. Mango TV, "Judgment" episodes 33, 34, 0.97%.
