After sports film and television dramas such as "Chess Soul", "Winning the Championship", "Whirlwind Girl" and "Snow Pear Stewed with Rock Sugar" were "out of the circle", the theme of sports competition either "cannot get out of the doughnut" or "lost in professional seriousness".

Taking advantage of the Dongfeng of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a number of film and television dramas and variety shows with the theme of competitive sports are emerging on the screen and the big screen recently. There are various forms of sitcoms, inspirational dramas, documentaries, etc.

This year will also usher in the Hangzhou Asian Games, and related dramas have been announced to start.

More competitive sports-themed film and television works are on the way. How to ensure the seriousness of competitive sports and be watchable has become the key to breaking its unpopular attributes.

  The public obviously likes to watch competitive sports competitions. During the Tokyo Olympics last year, there was a "national Olympic fever". The number of views on Weibo topics alone exceeded 29 billion, and hot searches continued every day. Su Bingtian and Quan Hongchan were sought after by the whole people.

In contrast, the lack of explosives in competitive sports-themed film and television works seems a bit unreasonable.

Last year, the movie "Beyond", which focused on the 100-meter sprint, scored only 5.0, and netizens commented that it was "a greasy middle-aged blockbuster that moved by itself."

The TV series "Glory Ping Pong" caused controversy because it borrowed the experience of athletes but handled it improperly. It was evaluated by netizens as "suspended and exaggerated", especially the plot of fans watching the game with light signs, which was directly pointed out by fans as "not in line with reality".

Another table tennis-themed "Gold Medal" home page is full of one-star and two-star ratings.

Others, such as "The Story of a Murder Girl", are based on motorcycle road races, and are equally unpopular. There are only four short comments on Douban.

  The biggest problem with competitive sports-themed film and television dramas is that sweet pets and sports become two layers of skin, and eventually "hot blood" becomes "dog blood".

In the final analysis, it is a love drama with sports clothes.

Last year's "Who Gives Me My Own" also talked about Go, with a score of 4.9 on Douban. The content was not in line with the famous drama. Without Go, there was only love. It was dubbed by netizens as "magic realism idol drama".

The 5.8-point figure skating competitive drama "Flying with You in the Wind" neither escapes the label of "pseudo-sports and really sweet pet", nor does it deeply describe the characteristics of figure skating and short track speed skating.

  Now that the Beijing Winter Olympics is about to open, many film and television dramas themed on the Winter Olympics have begun to build momentum. Short track speed skating can be regarded as the absolute protagonist. ""Extreme Spin" and so on are all based on this theme.

The TV series "Beyond", which has now landed on Dragon TV, tells the inspirational story of short track speed skating teenager Chen Mian who transformed from a member of the start-up Qingdao team to an athlete of the national team and finally stood on the field of the Winter Olympics.

But the plot did not stop at Chen Mian, but through the struggles of three generations of short track speed skaters, showing from the first generation to cross the river by feeling the stones, the second generation's hard training, to the third generation due to love And all kinds of reckless.

  Some netizens said that the two-line narrative of the TV series "Beyond" is very good. In the 1980s and 1990s and the present, the dual time and space are parallel. In the youth narrative of the two generations of athletes, we can see the beginning of China's short track speed skating. The hardships, the times when generations of snowmen have been watered with sweat and will.

And at the end of each episode, there are interviews with real athletes, including Xin Qingshan, the head coach of the first-generation national short track speed skating team, An Yulong, a famous player who won one silver and one bronze in the Nagano Winter Olympics, and excavated when he was coaching the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Team. Including Yang Yang's Jin Meiyu and Liu Qiuhong, the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the closing ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics, more than 40 real Chinese short-daoists walked to the camera and narrated their ice and snow life.

From the virtual to the real, the art and the real reflect each other, the audience will understand the trials and hardships of China's short track speed skating for more than 30 years, and understand the unchanging original intention of Chinese ice and snow athletes to strive for self-improvement and win glory for the country. In awe.

  Some netizens also said that the plot is down-to-earth and the audience likes to see it. On the surface, it is a sports drama, but in fact, there are many descriptions of real life bridges, especially northerners may feel deeply after seeing some scenes in the play. For example, the skating wild ice in the Harbin story line, as well as many old small objects, it is easy to recall the time of the 1990s.

There are also netizens who practice short track speed skating, saying that the plot is quite real.

At present, the film has a high reputation of four stars and five stars on the scoring platform.

  It can be seen that competitive dramas can achieve a balance between seriousness and visibility.

It should show the unknown hard training behind the sports, the sweat of real hard work, the correctness of the rules and the rationality of the scene. At the same time, it is also necessary for the main creator to have a certain understanding and respect for the sports, and specialize in learning and training. There is no basis. And the blood of the origin, it will only become embarrassing and middle two.

In fact, there are the former who have done a good job in this regard. For example, in the movie "Five Boys Who Throwing Water" released last year, the five leading actors underwent "devil training" for three months. All the actions in the film were completed by the leading actors themselves, and no substitutes were used. .

At the same time, competitive dramas can't let the seriousness dissolve the watchability of the dramas. Of course, there can be emotional lines, but they should be integrated naturally and become embellishments that help blood and growth.

  The past two years are the great year of sports games. Last year, there was the Tokyo Olympics, this year the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Hangzhou Asian Games. There will be a large number of competitive sports-themed film and television works, but high-quality works are still scarce, and the traffic of events and festivals is just the icing on the cake. , whether it is possible to reproduce the works "out of the circle", in the final analysis, it is better to spell the theme and the lineup than the story.

For the audience, they are fortunate to witness the sports meeting at their doorstep, and they will also be fortunate to witness the rise of Chinese sports-themed film and television works.
