The creative trend behind the clustering of themes
The popularity of a certain subject matter is related to the change in the creative direction of film and television dramas, variety shows, and social hot trends.
The most typical example is that during the Winter Olympics, a large number of ice and snow related films and dramas appeared, and excellent works appeared in various categories of creations.
In the past two years of film and television creation, in fact, various types of fine works have been continuously appeared in the wave of creation craze, such as suspense dramas, urban family dramas, and female-themed dramas.
Occupational dramas and industry dramas are one of the important types of film and television dramas, especially urban dramas that are partial to idol dramas. When this type of drama focuses on a certain professional group, they often get together and form a small craze.
At present, there have been dramas related to the workplace, such as doctor theme fever, lawyer workplace fever, Internet entrepreneurship theme fever, e-sports theme heat, psychological theme heat, fashion industry heat, etc.
The creation of themes such as e-sports and Internet entrepreneurship is a narrow industry drama. After several works were broadcast together, there were no creators in the film and television industry to deeply cultivate such themes. After the craze passed, it was quietly lonely.
However, there is no type of subject that can produce various types of works in different creative fields such as TV series, variety shows, and documentaries during the boom period.
In the creation of TV dramas, the fire-fighting theme is related to the popularity of urban workplace dramas in the past two years.
The documentary focuses on the subject of fire protection, which is related to the current popularity of social reality documentaries.
The popularity of fire-fighting themes in variety shows has something to do with the recent over-entertainment of variety shows and the expansion of theme expression.
The previous reality show variety shows focused more on entertainment and gameplay, while the current reality show variety shows pay more attention to presenting rich social issues, social responsibility, and actively presenting positive energy and public welfare.
For example, some star reality shows actively promote regional culture and city image, and some reality shows dig deep into all walks of life to meet the needs of the public and expand the audience's horizons.
In the pursuit of three-dimensional and diverse content, and the pursuit of social value and meaning, variety shows will naturally do some professional, cultural, and positive content.
The recent large-scale variety show "New Travels" has also begun to follow this route.
"Exciting Offer" also starts from professional workplaces such as law firms and hospitals to experience these occupations.
After reading various types of fire-fighting themed works, you will find that the "real world" of the fire-fighting profession only exists in documentaries.
The firefighter group deserves attention and the blue flame spirit of firefighters deserves to be carried forward, but if a variety show is created in a star experience mode and cannot escape the mode of "interview + experience + challenge + interaction", the audience may soon appreciate it. fatigue.
There is nothing novel about the creation mode of the fire-fighting drama "Workplace + Love". Next, there will be more fire-fighting dramas such as "Illuminate You" and "Light Chaser". They are all idol dramas. An over-consumption of subject matter.
No matter what kind of industry drama, the audience is looking forward to a good drama that is down-to-earth and solidly describes the warmth of the world.
