The length of the 28 episodes of "Huahuo" is actually very rare. It is enough for the script to reach a climax and have a tight rhythm when it passes the customs, but it is always unsatisfactory. The play is directed by Zou, starring,, and Lyon. New faces and old faces coexist, but there are no big stars.
Every year, a large number of domestic dramas emerge, but there are very few well-made dramas, which can't help but make the audience have the illusion that "making dramas is good for making money". In fact, every step of the film from project establishment to preparation to shooting embodies the hard work of the staff, so the ugly drama is not only sorry for the audience, but also for the producers themselves. As far as fireworks are concerned, poor ratings can explain everything.
First of all, what is the definition of youth film?
Obviously, the writers and directors didn't understand this. To sum up, this is a story about a group of college students who have just entered the society but have no vitality at all. As a rich second generation, Ling Xiao insisted on using his part-time job to prove his strength. He was very inspirational, but when he acted out, things split into two branches.
On the one hand, Ling Xiao's love comes naturally, but his family background has become the biggest stumbling block to the pursuit of true love. On the other hand, Ling Xiao introduced his classmate Tan Yue to work in the shop. Unexpectedly, Tan Yue fell in love with the supervisor, but the supervisor had secretly told Ling Xiao because of an accident. A drama that shows the struggle course of contemporary youth has instantly turned into a love triangle, which is extremely bloody.
Youth films must be full of youth. Everyone will experience youth and maturity, but there must be room for throbbing deep inside. This is also the key to making a youth film suitable for all ages. A drama that blindly relies on love to promote the development of the story should be called a romantic film, so it is not that the audience is unwilling to buy it, but that there is a deviation in propaganda and positioning from the beginning.
Secondly, is it good or bad for an actor to play without fire?
Generally speaking, the audience actually does not reject using unfamiliar faces as the leading role, and often using mature actors to play small roles will lead to dissatisfaction. Therefore, at present, the mainstream practice is to use old drama bones to match, so that the acting level of a drama is basically settled, and newcomers can learn from it and gain something.
The most successful drama using this model is the Korean drama Please Answer 1988. The main actors are all newcomers, but the audience will not be allowed to play at all.
However, no matter how to arrange the actor mode in a drama, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is acting, and vividness and nature are the most basic requirements. The actors in Fireworks are extremely "holding their heads", probably with the title of "the most eye-catching idol drama" on their heads, and the actors themselves don't know how to perform it.
All kinds of grandiose fashion scene design, lifeless costume modeling, and almost flat lighting with five senses, I'm afraid that 90 points of acting skills will be weakened to 70 points, not to mention that the actors themselves are far from 90 points.
Finally, artistic works are above life, which is by no means equal to being above life.
Why do many viewers who look like mv have to be completely blind? It is precisely because of alienation that film and television dramas belong to works of art, so it is certain to extract the essence from life and present it after synthesis, which is indeed higher than life.
However, this height refers to deeper excavation. At the beginning of the fireworks, whether Chen Qianqian's high-heeled shoes were stuck in the manhole cover, Ling Xiao helped her, or Wei Wei had to call her parents to remind her, including all kinds of adventures in the interview later, which were actually too far away from life.
Exaggerated plot is completely above life, how can we inspire? If the role wants to stand firm, it must be convincing first, not superficial. Otherwise, don't shoot exaggerated themes such as two yuan under the banner of youth idol drama, which will attract attention.
In short, Fireworks is really not very good. It seems that there are problems from writers to actors, but it is by no means the problem of the play itself. It is difficult to make a play that is close to life and can inspire the audience. There is still a long way to go, but there is still a lot to look forward to.
