Recently, the TV series "Female Psychologist" starring Yang Zi and Jing Boran was broadcast online. The two main actors of the show are very popular, and the topics such as mental illness and psychotherapy are relatively new, and they are quite anticipated before the broadcast.

Judging from the plots currently broadcast, the show gives the audience a lot of freshness, but there are also many slots.

Workplace dramas have been constantly focusing on different professions to find freshness, but only pursuing innovation in themes and content cannot make the audience buy it.

New themes continue to follow the routine

  There are many highlights in "Female Psychologist". Focusing on the profession of psychological counselor and paying attention to mental illness is a relatively rare theme in current film and television dramas. First of all, the drama wins in the freshness of the theme.

  "Female Psychologist" tells the story of the psychological counselor He Dun in the case of one visitor after another. He unearthed the secrets from the mysterious file confessed by his instructor and prevented the tragedy with the help of his partner.

Nowadays, people’s mental illness is getting more and more attention. The play attempts to present various mental illnesses, obscure psychology, etc. It conforms to the needs of the real society, and is also a positive concern for real problems. Easily arouse the empathy of the audience.

  The play also has some breakthroughs in the film and television style. In order to show the patients' psychological problems, mental illness and the keen sense of the psychological counselor, some sophisticated lens language will be used to tell the story.

For example, in order to deeply understand and explore the psychological problems of female high school student Yuna, the lens language of splicing and editing together different spaces, different clues and information is used to solve the psychological problems of the patients.

In addition, the play also uses many first-person shots of the heroine to tell the story, allowing the audience to follow the heroine Horton's perspective to find more clues or clarify more information.

This will give the audience an immersive experience of watching the drama, and it will also make a dramatic presentation of the inner activities of the psychologist.

These are shooting methods that test the director's narrative skills, and they are fairly new to the audience.

  The reputation of the play will not be high, because it does not go completely to the idol drama routines.

In the play, the protagonist hits a truck with a motorcycle, saves people by speeding a car, and saves high school students by flying over the wall. It has little to do with the advancement of the plot, but the levitation index is very high. The urban workplace drama makes the protagonist incarnate as Spider-Man. It can only be said that the work is not grounded. Qi, or the creator writes the script according to the routine.

For another example, the heroine herself has claustrophobia, heterosexual contact disorder, and other psychological stress reactions due to her original family problems. These problems must be solved with the help of the hero. This kind of plot is too idol drama. Pattern.

  Workplace dramas are mixed and difficult to produce masterpieces

  "Female Psychologist" has always emphasized the scarcity of its own subject matter, and wanted to attract attention to the freshness of the subject matter, but it has not been written solidly as a work reflecting the profession of psychologists and the workplace ecology. It only wants to earn attention with fresh careers. , Topicality, there is no way to write a career thoroughly.

  This year there have also been many workplace dramas with fresh themes and even curious ones, but it is still difficult to produce good works.

"Hello, Flame Blue" shoots firefighters and doctors, but it is not grounded; "High Aspirations" shoots aerospace practitioners, the plot is bloody, the human setting collapses, and there are many acting slots; "Positive Youth" unlocks the female workplace, But there are too many plots such as love in Mary Su.

Only "Ideal City" is considered ideal, focusing on construction costers and the ecology of the construction industry, with a normalized and realistic reality of workplace life, a strong sense of workplace, and a sense of the times, finally jumping out of the quagmire of "pseudo-workplace drama".

The audience was very happy, and the workplace drama was finally awakened.

  But waking up is not the normal state of workplace dramas. Suspended and ungrounded atmosphere is the normal state of workplace dramas.

From lawyers, public relations, negotiators, headhunters, armed police, peacekeeping police to game players, programmers, investment bank analysts, etc., the vast majority of workplace dramas have become routine idol dramas and "gongdou dramas."

The addition of a large number of romances, relationships, and other plots to workplace dramas has diluted the concentration of workplace dramas and also concealed the unprofessional nature of these workplace dramas.

High-reputation workplace dramas often start with mature characters. They use professional professionals to present the ecology of the profession, the mental state of the workplace, and the social value of the profession. Professionals do professional things, but they are not the same as ordinary people. The audience is closely related and the plot is very attractive.

And those "outsiders" screenwriters who do not have a deep understanding of a certain profession often write workplace dramas from workplace Xiaobai, love play, emotional play, and human relationship play. "Xiaobai" counterattack is also a good story, but it is often superficial and in-depth. Can't go down.

This is a kind of opportunism in the creation of workplace dramas.
