Behind the works of high nationality: a drama is not just a story about several people
Looking back at several domestic dramas with a high degree of recognition in 2020, we can find a common "explosive factor": a strong sense of social care and a sense of humanistic care are used as the backbone of the story.
In the first half of 2020, the TV series "The King of Ratings" and "Anjia" is the only TV series with a rating of over 2 and a share of over 7.
"Settling Down" seems to be a workplace drama, showing the "dual store manager competition" of an intermediary company. However, the perspective and ambition of the play are much higher than the disputes in the store and workplace-real estate agencies are not only helping customers settle down, but also witnessing customers The joys and sorrows in life.
On the surface, it looks like the house is bought and sold, but what is exchanged between people is the real warmth and coldness of life.
The "Thirty Only", which shows the "30+" female group portraits, has attracted attention because the audience wants to see how "drama" the lives of the three girls are.
"Thirty Only" poked the pain points of too many urban women: gender discrimination in the workplace, birth and marriage, difficulty in balancing family and career... It expresses the positive attitude of women to struggle and self-salvation in the face of difficulties: "Only 30 years old What are you afraid of?" "A woman should know what she wants."
The sense of social care promotes the works out of the circle, and it is also verified in the suspenseful theme "Mist Theater" that will be released like a dark horse in 2020.
The "Mist Theater" web drama "The Hidden Corner" ranked second in the 15 best international drama series selected by the American "Variety" magazine in 2020, and it is also the only Chinese drama on the list.
"The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", in addition to the natural advantages of suspense themes, superb production and outstanding performances of actors, the more important significance for the film and television industry is to allow all audiences to touch the daily life during the progress of the case Secret and painful family problems, social problems.
The first "Time Report Drama" "Together" focusing on the anti-epidemic theme was scored 8.7 by more than 70,000 viewers on Douban.
Medical staff, takeaway brothers, clothing factory owners... Ordinary people from all walks of life joined the fight against the epidemic.
"Installing Taiwan" broadcast at the end of the year tells the joys and sorrows, ups and downs, ups and downs of the Taiwanese, and the story of the ancient city of Xi'an in the tide of reform and opening up. It has numerous fans and is called "the clear stream in domestic dramas"; 9.3 points, maintaining the "hard" narrative and sense of the times in the first part.
The high-profile drama series of 2020 not only tells the thin stories of several characters, but also reflects the social group image and the characteristics of the times with attractive narratives.
There are also "extra points" for conventional themes: a lot of innovation points to be discovered
In 2020 domestic drama series, there are some surprise "plus points" for regular themes.
Youth dramas, suspense dramas, female subjects, etc. have all been discovered new highlights.
The group image of domestic youth dramas has become prominent.
Youth is not the only way to impress the audience by "sprinkling sugar" with sweet pets.
Youth stories can also have the romance of a group of people to accompany and struggle.
Youth dramas such as "Hire of Chess", "The Sky of the Wind Dog", "Twenty Not Confused", "Snow Stewed with Rock Sugar", "I Don't Want to Be Friends with You", etc., are not limited to the story line of one or two protagonists. Extend the depiction of the entire young group.
When the color of the group appearance becomes more and more obvious in youth dramas, the traditional youth campus theme also conveys some more breadth and depth content.
For example, "In the name of my family" and "I don't want to be friends with you", aroused the audience's thinking about family and friendship; "Twenty Do Not Confused" and "The Sky of the Wind Dog" describe the entanglement and confusion between the teenager and the society for the first time. And pain.
Adapted from Japanese anime, "Going Low and Going High", the Douban score continued to rise to 8.6 after the end, which aroused the audience's praise of "True Fragrance" at the end of the year.
This drama "Don't talk about love, just talk about love", with the timeless and flaming portraits of Go teenagers, let the unpopular Go theme "counterattack" out of the circle.
Youth campus is already a regular subject, but there are still many people, corners and emotional thinking about youth and youth that have not been paid attention to and explored.
In addition, dramas focusing on female group portraits have developed a richer latitude, including dramas focusing on female life emotions such as "Twenty Do Not Confused", "Thirty Only" and "Amazing Girl", as well as "Skyscrapers" and "White Moonlight". "And other works that cared about women's rights and interests from a suspenseful perspective.
There are some genre dramas that have been bad-mouthed because of their "strong sense of routine", and they still won their audience and reputation in 2020.
The spy war theme "Secret and Great", the tomb robbery theme "Restart the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder" the second season, "Longling Misty Cave" and other works have received good market feedback.
High enthusiasm for the discussion of domestic dramas: the audience's "scoring device" is more stringent
In the Chinese drama market in 2020, one thing that deserves recognition is that there is no blindly and crowded pursuit of the past "circle fans" type. Many practitioners and creators actively challenge and explore multiple themes, and are not afraid of "unpopular" and "trying." wrong".
Compared with previous years, audiences are accustomed to rushing to “fetch food” for specific drama categories according to their own tastes. In 2020, audiences will not only experience more surprises brought by unfamiliar “new stores”, but will also be optimistic about some previously unfavorable ones. Pay attention to and look forward to the category.
However, in this year's domestic drama answer sheet, there is still room for improvement in the creation of certain types and theme dramas.
"Settle Down", "Blame You Too Beautiful", "Ordinary Glory" and other dramas have supported this year's urban workplace drama section. The audience said that they finally did not fall in love under the guise of going to work, and were getting closer to the real workplace.
However, overall, the number of high-quality workplace dramas is limited, and the professional diversity in domestic dramas needs to be expanded.
According to the "China TV Drama Weather Vane Report 2020", 16 of the top 30 online dramas in 2020 are costume dramas.
In the section of costume dramas, "Under the Brocade", "Liu Li", "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", and "Sansheng III Pillow Book" are highly popular dramas, but compared with the frequent explosions in 2019, this year's costume dramas The overall reputation is average.
Several ancient costume dramas, such as Qingpingle, Daqin Fu, Yanyuntai, and You Fei, which had high expectations from the audience at the beginning of the broadcast, failed to achieve the desired results.
For example, at the beginning of this year, "New World", which has a strong main creative lineup, scored as high as 8.2 when it started broadcasting. However, due to the slow pace and lengthy plot of many viewers, Douban scores have been declining, and now it is only 5.7 points.
There are also some episodes when the lively "surrounding topics" strongly cover up the discussion of the drama itself, such as "Love Apartment 5" "I Am Yu Huanshui" and so on.
When domestic dramas are brought to the audience with "complete dishes", the evaluation mechanism of rising tide will follow.
In cyberspace, everyone’s enthusiasm for picking up "scorers" is greater than in previous years, and they are willing to accept new genres. At the same time, they also put forward stricter and more direct requirements on the quality of dramas.
However, there are also some excellent works that have been "ignored" or underestimated by the public opinion field.
For example, the period drama "The Sideburns Are Not Begonia Red" with the Liyuan as the narrative background of the Republic of China, fully displays the cultural heritage of Peking Opera, and interweaves the characters of Liyuan and the times in Beiping.
The drama can be described as an ingenious and good-looking drama, with a score of 8.1, but it has not been able to make it to the top of the online public opinion.
For another example, when we see that all the popular costume dramas this year are less than 7 points, in fact, there are two costume dramas on Douban, both with a high score of 8.2: "Xia Exploring Jane I Don't Know" and "Youth You Yi Cun Xiangsi" "A total of nearly 80,000 people have watched the two dramas.
Regarding the "neglected and underestimated boutique", some viewers in the Douban group sighed: "I have been in Amway and have never been appreciated." The domestic dramas that appear on stage every year are inevitably regrettable. I hope that there will be people who will look back and appreciate them in the future. , And the market can be less overlooked.
