The Road to the Movie King, Part Two

The theme of Xu Xuanzhi's urban drama is not bad. It imitates the legal and political dramas of Hong Kong dramas in the 90s, and also filmed a drama about lawyers called "Legacy and Politics".It's a pity that the screenwriter's writing skills are not enough, and he failed to focus on the lawsuit between the hero and the heroine, but the relationship between the barrister and the assistant.But these have nothing to do with Xu Xuanzhi, he is only the third male in the cast, he is the one who is after the male and female lead on the cast list, stepping on the fifth line dangerously.

"Legal Man" was broadcast two days earlier than "Swordsman of Shu Mountain". One was on B TV and the other was on S TV. They were both golden theaters, so naturally they had to compete for ratings.Both dramas have their own gimmicks, "Legal Girl" has the edge of a legal drama, while "Swordsman of Shushan" is a remake of a classic.

Where there is competition, there will be fans, and there will be drafts.

As soon as "Legally Blonde" was broadcast, a large number of popular Weibo posts and posts quickly appeared on Weibo and major forums. This one boasted that the theme was novel and the plot was good, and that one boasted that all the characters in the drama could lick their faces, and each of them had their own acting skills. Progress, and some people sell their feelings, saying that supporting "Legally Blonde" is to look back on childhood memories.On the contrary, I have to spray on "Swordsman of Shushan".

The first thing to do is the subject matter. The theme of Xianxia is very special. If it is well shot, it will be popular and become a classic. If it is not well shot, it will be a hot-eyed drama.There is no other reason, it is that Xianxia dramas have too high requirements in all aspects.

In the world of Xianxia, ​​the first requirement is vision, and the role must be beautiful. The beauty of the role is not only reflected in the actor's appearance, but also requires clothing and makeup. Imagine a female swordsman with a fairy air and a long skirt with wide sleeves and an arm. , actually draws eyebrows like Crayon Shin-chan... It's easy for people to time travel to Crayon Shin-chan.So the appearance of the character is the most important. Looking at the previous classic Xianxia movies or TV series, none of them said that the appearance is messy.

"Character beauty" is already a huge requirement for costumers, actors, and makeup artists. In addition to this, beautiful scenes and good special effects are also required, and special effects must not be five cents.With these, Xianxia drama is like a newly decorated room with only embryos. It must be online at the same time as the plot and the acting skills of the actors to become a hardcover room.

"Swordsman of Shushan" also knows that as a fairy tale drama, it will definitely be expected in all aspects and will be picky in various ways. When it released the trailer, it deliberately selected a few classic scenes to highlight the actor's appearance and acting skills, plot conflicts, special effects, etc., as much as possible. No room for nitpicking.As soon as the trailer came out, it was indeed praised by all kinds of fans, but this did not stop the opponent's draft.

The other party first compared the once-in-a-century beauties in the classic version with Lin Yuan and the other three, and devalued the appearance of Lin Yuan and the other three to nothing, and then began to assert that the plots of the two films were different. Forty episodes of a TV series have been pieced together, the plot is not good at all, and the water injection must be serious.One of their most important points of attack is that this drama sells rot!

"Lin Yuan and Qin Gu used homosexuality to stir up gimmicks in reality, but the plot of Xiao Ru and Ding Yin is not yet known how rotten or base it is!"

"Maybe Ding Yin is Yuanyuan who brings disaster to the country and the people, and Xiaoru is Sangui who is so angry that she gets angry at the crown, [smile] [smile] [smile]"

"You can look forward to the background board of the heroine, and various passionate scenes between the heroine and the male supporting role. [smile][smile][smile]"

When Fang Fei saw these comments, her eyes really rolled out. "I really hate this [smiling] expression, it's full of irony! What's going on with the show? Could it be that the other party is being so sarcastic? They don't want to save it?"

Lin Yuan said: "The end is not about word of mouth, but about quality."

"I don't have much confidence in the quality of our drama, mainly because I don't have confidence in my performance, and I feel like it's dragging down the crew." Fang Fei smiled wryly, "Also, I watched two episodes of the legal drama last night, and it felt pretty good. The case is fascinating."

"The other party only aired four episodes before us, and legal dramas are basically unit dramas. One case that attracts people doesn't mean it always attracts people. The structure of a unit drama can easily cause ratings to plunge. As long as there is a little dissatisfaction , the audience will choose to skip the plot and wait for the next case." Qin Gu analyzed and glanced to the side. "Right?"

"En." Lin Yuan nodded firmly and simply.

Fang Fei laughed loudly: "Who are you singing and who will follow?"

"There is no difference, everyone is the same." Lin Yuan marked the script and said, "Swordsman of Shushan premieres tonight, let's see the response."

"Alas..." Fang Fei sighed, "I still feel that it's very difficult. The other party has been publishing negative drafts. Maybe many people will not watch our drama."

"No, it's the opposite." Lin Yuan smiled, "People are curious. The more you advertise like this, the more curious the audience will be. They will definitely watch it tonight. As long as you survive the first four episodes, There is no need to worry about it later, because the plot of our drama is completed in one go, suspense follows one after another, and there is no point for the audience to stay. The ratings will be very stable, and there should be steady growth without accidents. Will you tolerate such a dark drama?"

The thing is just like what Lin Yuan said, although the opponent tried his best to write the draft, expressing how bad and unworthy the show "Swordsman of Shushan" is, but the more the other party brushed it like this, the more curious the audience was about how bad the show was. what it looks like.The audience ratings of the first episode of "Swordsman of Shushan" even successfully broke through 1. Under the competition of another strong legal drama in the same period, this result is very important to Satellite TV. Already good.

As the only person with free time, Qin Gu also watched the first episode of "Swordsman of Shu Mountain". As soon as the next episode's trailer was released, he sent Lin Yuan a WeChat message saying: "I think the rhythm and visual effects are still okay. I see the reaction of the audience."

After posting WeChat, he went to Weibo and found that the official blog of "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" had already opened a Weibo topic, and no matter whether he had a topic or not, he kept repeating "Ahh! So handsome!", "Female The Lord is so cry".A big drama critic, V Hai, took advantage of the advertisement time to post a short comment, which gave "Swordsman of Shushan" a hard time.

"In four and 10 minutes of one episode, the plot has gone from the place where Di Mingqi strayed into the Demon Cult to meeting the Lord of the Yaochi Fairy Castle. The rhythm is advancing rapidly but it gives people a sense of detail. It gives people the feeling of being bloated, and every fight is very exciting! The stunts are also well done! The characters are also very handsome! Ahhh! Ding Yin rescued Di Mingqi, and Xiaoru rescued Ding Yin are so handsome! Ding Yin's heroic appearance, Xiaoru's immortal demeanor, the crew is very willing to show different, even the fighting style is different! Ding Yin's moves are mostly straightforward, he likes to slash directly with a sword, while Xiaoru is more immortal Feng Daogu, likes to use sword light and spells. It’s so rare! Finally, I waited for a fairy tale drama with online appearance, stunts, plot, and music, and decided to become a tap water and stick around!"

This blogger often posts drama reviews, his taste has always been very tricky, and his comments are harsh, so although his fans are only around 50, there are very few zombie fans.After the first episode aired, there was a 10-minute advertisement in the middle, and there were already 5+ comments on Weibo within 500 minutes.After the second episode was broadcast, this Weibo was immediately forwarded, and various screenshots also appeared, some of which were taken directly at the TV.

"Even taking pictures of the TV can't affect the appearance of the protagonists! Aww~ It's so good-looking! Forgive me for not being able to think of other words!"

"Not to mention the special effects, it can be said that the special effects are explosive, and finally there is a fairy tale drama that does not suffer from embarrassing cancer!"

After the two episodes of "Swordsman of Shushan" were broadcast, all the negative effects that the opponent had done before had all had the opposite effect. The audience who had been misled by the opponent's negative publicity naturally lowered their requirements and expectations for "Swordsman of Shushan". After watching it, I found that it was far beyond my expectations, and my favorability suddenly soared.The word-of-mouth and popularity exploded on the first day on the Internet, and the ratings started to break 1 on the first day, and then slowly climbed up. By the first plot climax, the ratings had reached 1, which is already high for a drama on the satellite TV platform. It's a very good rating.

Although the theme of Xianxia drama is easy to attract younger audiences, as one of the traditional oriental themes, Xianxia's pioneering work "The Legend of Swordsman in Shushan" is the enlightenment work for most Xianxia fans.When a Xianxia work is good enough, it will not attract children who only look at the protagonist's love and hatred and appearance, but a large number of young audiences between 20 and 30.These audiences have purchasing power and life experience, and most of them have an in-depth understanding of a certain aspect of knowledge. They are the main force in writing drama reviews, and many of them are still well-known in their own industries and have their own fans.

With the gradual advancement of the plot of "Swordsman of Shushan", various drama reviews have begun to appear one after another. Those who study music begin to evaluate the use of traditional musical instruments in "Swordsman of Shushan" and the effect of music on the plot. Those who study costumes use "Swordsman of Shushan" As a model, I write about how to achieve classical beauty in film and television dramas when making overhead costume dramas. I like to watch action dramas and study ancient weapons and write "Swordsman of Shushan" in making props with care and using weapons and fighting styles to reflect the characters.One after another drama reviews are like mushrooms after rain, slowly and continuously appearing.

In contrast, the evaluation of "Legal and Polite" is getting lower and lower. First, the plots of the later unit dramas are getting more and more water-filled, and a lot of plots are about the hero and heroine. You love me and I don’t love you. Rates have been falling.Not long after, a fan of an American drama revealed that the first unit drama with decent ratings was actually a plagiarism of a certain American drama, which almost wiped out the goodwill of the audience.

On the one hand, the word-of-mouth and ratings of "Legal and Polite" are declining steadily, and on the other hand, the ratings of "Swordsman of Shushan" are rising steadily and receiving good reviews. This war between dramas has already been decided.
