No one could have imagined that Zhong Hanliang would never return to the pit of ancient sweet dramas, already 47 years old, and Tan Songyu to play a “domineering prince and his petite wife” story.
Perhaps the lucrative paycheck has convinced Zhong Hanliang to forget how he won the Flying Dutchman Award and Golden Eagle Award. The actual fact is that you can get a lot of money from the company and also maintain your reputation.
After hanging out in low circles for a long Time, he himself will become one of them. Zhong Hanliang illustrates this truth with “Jin Xin Xiang Yu (TV series)”.
A. Adaptation is not magic
Once a director claimed in an interview that every adaptation of a drama is altered in accordance with the market.
The Writer of such a work has always made the work into a “magic reform” in the mouth of the audience, deviating from the original direction while adding a lot of dog blood elements, is it possible that these writers still think that the audience’s aesthetic is still stuck in the period of “there is to see on the line”?
The new drama “Jin Xin Xiang Yu” by Zhong Hanliang is such a magic reform work, with a score of 6.1, it is difficult to say words of appreciation, plus the next two adaptations have scored 8 in succession, the quality of this drama speaks for itself.
Perhaps the screenwriter is really making precise changes according to the target audience, but she is only pleasing 36% of the audience, leaving 63% of the audience who gave less than three stars undoubtedly have extreme dissatisfaction with this work. If the script was created from scratch by the scriptwriter, it would have been fine, but with the perfect logic and plot setting of the original “The Concubine Raider”, we can’t even imagine how she turned the script into such a “magic” model.
In fact, from the perspective of the script, it is not difficult to deduce the reason for Zhong Hanliang’s participation, in his famous years, “diving to save a beautiful woman” and other bloodthirsty bridges have repeatedly won success, perhaps in his subconscious, today’s audience will still be fascinated by such a plot, as “The End of the World” in general.
The magic of the script is only one of the hardest things, in front of the CP sense of Zhong Hanliang and Tan Songyu, the audience is big deal to watch this drama as a sweet drama. The director apparently also made a mistake, and the frequent plot holes made all the problems add up (drama) ferment and eventually lead to the current situation.
I probably believe that the writer and director should have only read the synopsis of “The Concubine’s Daughter” and thought they understood the story, but in fact, far from it.
As a novel that has won the praise of thousands of viewers, the author of “The Raiders of the Concubine Daughter” has put a lot of effort into the background and characterization of the story. It is also the story that fits the historical background almost perfectly that makes the reader so enthralled, so it seems obvious that the director is shooting this drama as an overhead work, ignoring the context of the time in which the story is set.
After all this, let’s take a look at the magical plot that makes people laugh and laugh and then helplessly change it.
The story is set in the Ming Dynasty, when the “Cheng Zhu Theory” was on the rise, and the mainstream concept of “the preservation of the Divine Principle and the extinction of human desires” deeply bound people’s lives, especially women, although in the feminist view such content is very offensive, but this is the real history In the first episode, the scriptwriter said, “I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get a lesson from history.
In the first episode, the scriptwriter and director of this background set behind, let the heroine and her mother alone from Jiangnan to the capital, a total of three women plus maids, placed in the Ming Dynasty, such behavior is not only dangerous more contrary to the real history, goose factory is not so poor to hire a few mass actors to play the guards it.
And after that, the heroine was rescued after diving, is even more contrary to the set plot. The female lead fell into the water was rescued by the male second, such a plot is not only cheesy, but also equal to the denial of the existence of Cheng Zhu theory, and the lack of Cheng Zhu theory of the Ming Dynasty how to let the audience have a deep impression of this dynasty?
It’s not that it’s wrong for a hero to save a beauty, but in the era when a woman’s reputation is ruined if she speaks with a strange man, many women would rather guard their reputation at the cost of their lives, not to mention having a physical basis with a strange man. This harsh reality is the real history, is in line with the background setting of the story.
In addition to being abducted by pirates, to the brothel as a flower girl, the screenwriter through the description of the more open environment than the modern what we do not know, so seemingly to cater to women’s rights and set the plot, precisely for women’s rights is the real irony.
And on the basis of the magic of the plot, Zhong Hanliang and Tan Songyun can not use the acting skills to find a remedy, but instead pay for the play their own reputation.
Second, Zhong Hanliang this drama after how much late festival is still left
The “Jinxin like a jade” this drama only has one remaining flop: Zhong Hanliang and Tan Song Yun.
Putting aside the logic of the story line, the two main protagonists of the “sweet pet scenes” won the praise of many viewers. And in the audience who gave four and five stars, a significant portion of the comments are praising the two “CP sense”.
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. The first act of the show, he looked askance at the eyes of the group will be the role of the domineering.
The audience’s description is accurate, even if we are not satisfied with the “concubine girl strategy” to become an alternative ancient costume overlord total drama, but we still have to admit that Zhong Hanliang perfectly portrayed the image of “domineering prince”, Xu Lingyi with the female lead sweet (TV series) shots also let us feel the glory of sweet pet drama.
However, such a glow is not the “Jin Xin Xiyu” itself, but a shameful cloth given to it by the sweet drama era.
Zhong Hanliang is not supposed to take this script, born in 74 he is already 47 years old, and his partner Tan Songyun is 90 years old, but also over 30 years old, such a pair of not young actors to play a couple in their early twenties, perhaps goose factory so-called big production are spent on the two protagonists to remove wrinkles above it.
The 6.1 rating means that this drama has eroded a lot of his fame. If Zhong Hanliang continues to immerse himself in the performance of the magic drama, he is destined to spend the rest of his Life in the entertainment industry.
We can’t deny the acting skills of Zhong Hanliang in the drama, the TV emperor is after all the TV emperor, even in the bad plot can still show their own strength.
This can be seen in the works of Zhong Hanliang in recent years, he has gained a lot after turning to the big screen, “three people”, “after the meeting” are not bad achievements, but only this.
The reason behind this can only be the decline in the strength of Zhong Hanliang, so that few directors are willing to take quality works for him to star in, people only remember “He Yisheng xiao Mo”, but forget that he was once the “hardest man in the world”. A Touch of Fire” in the tough guy.
This is a very real problem, the actor who has played sweet drama is difficult to make the transition, especially for actors like Zhong Hanliang, he chose sweet drama will mean that he chose to “lie down”, no longer willing or courageous to try again in the traditional sense of good works.
I am not surprised that Zhong Hanliang was cast in “Jin Xin Xiao Yu”, after the success of “He Yi Xiang Xiao Mo”, he may have understood the “charm” of sweet drama, he only needs to take out half of the previous efforts plus his own fame and face, will be able to harvest a good achievement.
Unfortunately, after such a comfortable life, he gradually found it difficult to maintain his status as a first-rate actor, he would have been praised as a classic if he hadn’t been in a sweet drama, but now he can only top his declining fame and compete with a group of boys in their early twenties for roles, which has to be a tragedy.
Three, “Jinxin like a jade” rare place
After saying Zhong Hanliang we go back to the work itself, “Jin Xin Xiang Yu” is a very rare magical adaptation of the play. In other adaptations rely on a high degree of restoration of the plot to achieve success, it still provides the opportunity for writers and directors to self-flagellation.
Adaptations often do not have to be so troublesome, even just need the writers to type the original plot, combined with the review requirements to remove certain anachronistic content, often to gain the audience’s love. Everyone knows how good the original is, only the screenwriter doesn’t. Could it be that she thinks she can build on the great success of her work?
In my opinion, a director who wants to adapt a great online novel either has to sink his or her teeth into the novel and read it from start to finish, or has the ability to write a work that is pleasing to readers, and I don’t see which one the screenwriter of “A Heart Like a Jade” accounted for.
As the Film and Television industry becomes more and more intensely reeled in, the average quality of film and television productions is gradually improving. The excuses used by writers and producers in the past to cover up their lack of ability are being poked away one by one, and excellent works and actors are showing a spurt. The era of bad is coming to an end, and even with the big capital investment, “Jin Xin Xiang Yu” still only harvests a score of 6.1.
It’s a coincidence that in recent years, Goose Factory’s so-called big investment works often fail to collect.
The “Fei” claimed big investment but even Zhao Liying’s costume could not be guaranteed, and now the “Jin Xin Xiang Yu” is only invited to a director who only creates a dog’s blood plot. Coincidentally, the two works are barely maintained in the score of 6 points near, such a passing score is also a little to give the producers a little face, not to suffer greater impact on public opinion.
Those so-called big investment in where exactly, or goose factory deliberately use excellent IP as the price, holding the flag of big investment in the completion of their other purposes?
But no matter what, the market is real, and the audience’s ratings likewise reflect the quality of “Jin Xin Si Yu”. The real beauty of this drama is that it has become a “counter-example” to the well-received adaptations on the market, so perhaps future directors and screenwriters should understand how to make an adaptation of a well-known novel.
The emergence of the “heart like a jade” more from the net circle of cash tradition, there is no excuse for this, after all, the author wrote the book is to make money, as long as there is a suitable price, sell a work is no big deal, the important thing is that their work opened a “cash channel”, the subsequent works will be able to continue to have the opportunity to cash.
The sentiment in front of the capital is worthless, this is embodied by the “Jin Xin Xiyu” and Zhong Hanliang.
A male star famous for his acting skills will be paid to act in a sweet drama, in order to meet the KPI as soon as possible screenwriters can ignore the original wonderful point of magic, as for the audience for the work and even the love of the actors, but is the actors, IP can be used to cash resources, such a reality may make the audience feel laughter, but the general audience did not change the ability to decide, can only helplessly watch a classic IP The average viewer has no ability to change the decision, but can only watch helplessly a classic IP become a toy in the hands of others.
In the end, I still advise everyone, in the future want to see good works, try to avoid those who claim to be big investment, all-star cast works, the so-called “reputation is actually difficult to match”, in our blind faith in big production, big stars, they have become played in the palm of others KPI.
Only those small cost, even the publicity and distribution funds to put together a work, only to have a group of work on the heart, know and willing to cater to the audience of practitioners, after all, these people can not turn around if they do not succeed.
