Chapter 87: Water Again
It is true that in later generations, the old actors either changed careers, or behind the scenes, or retired because they fell into the dilemma of having no drama to film.
There are really not many who are still active.
Take Jiang Wenli as an example, don't look at her now, she is the only actress among domestic actresses who can compete with Shuangbing Sidan, but after another five or six years, she will fall into the dilemma of having no scenes to film.
Even later, because of the gradual loss of popularity, he was forced to sell his and her husband's company.
Although it seems to have sold for hundreds of millions, it seems like a lot of money.
But you must know that among the fifth-generation directors in China, he is also a well-known old Gu!
As a result, the company sold hundreds of millions?
In fact, now that I think about it, I really can't blame others.
Compared with other fifth-generation directors who basically strive for transformation, Lao Gu is the kind of routine that plays literary films to the extreme.
Although several commercial films were made later in line with the times, they ......
Can you think that a director who has been out of touch with society for a long time can support a commercial film just by relying on a few hot flowers and small lives?
Commercial films are simple, but in the minds of Chinese, the simpler things you want to shoot well, the more difficult it is.
Coupled with the "car shock" incident that shocked the entire circle a few years later, it made it even more difficult for four years without a single work being released!
This is also because he is a director, and he is still a well-known wrist among the fifth generation of directors, plus he used to be a cameraman for the national teacher and Chen Kaige, and he covered up everything with his old face, if he was an artist, I am afraid he would have been scolded to death.
So much so that a serious drama came out later, and the result was a big explosion all of a sudden, what "China's top political drama", what "the largest anti-corruption drama", Balabala's.
But what about the reality?
Anti-corruption dramas were almost a very weak topic ten years ago, and within the scope of "dramas", basically the year of rise was only about 02 or 03, and there were a lot of filming at that time, but to be honest, because there were many things that could not be said in that era, and the review was extremely strict, so that many important key plots were deleted, and the characters were too face-painted, so that the ratings were generally relatively low.
If the pod score is the standard, then "In the Name of the People" may really be the highest rated.
But in reality?
Let's not talk about those other types of "dramas" that were once popular, in terms of anti-corruption dramas alone, "In the Name of the People" is really nothing.
Some people say that the anti-corruption efforts of this drama are very strong and have risen to the vice-national level!
However, that vice-national level is just an idle officer in an idle department.
If you want to compare with those "big tigers" in reality, it is simply incomparable.
Again, some people say that I don't even have the mood to watch other dramas, but when "People" didn't become popular yet, I began to pay attention to it and kept chasing it.
In fact, the reason why this is the case is very simple, because the director played a slippery head, and he idolized the drama.
Yes, it is true that the main creative lineup of "The People" is all old drama bones, but who is the actor of this drama?
Lu Yi!
Lu Yi used to be very popular, and when he was the most popular, he had the title of "the first student in the mainland", but with the stagnation of his acting skills and some objective factors, he gradually became popular.
It wasn't until 10 years that he became popular again with the role of Zhuge Liang in "The New Three Kingdoms".
In addition, although he is getting older, his temperament is becoming more and more condensed, especially after having a family and daughter, he is becoming more and more proficient in acting.
Coupled with the recklessness of the past, the charm of mature men is naturally unstoppable.
In addition, in the middle of 14 years, he took his daughter to the second season of a variety show with a baby, and his popularity was completely overwhelming, and it became popular again.
Although the popularity has regressed significantly compared to the peak, fortunately, he still maintains the identity of a first-line actor, and after changing the agency, he naturally got a lot of resources.
Others are also angry, after all, the talent is there, although it is not as popular as the popular little fresh meat, but the audience's favorability has always existed.
In addition, it grew up almost at the beginning of the century, and for today's audience, it is an extremely familiar "old acquaintance".
It can be said that in the early days of "The People", the reason why some people paid attention to this drama was not because of others, but because of Lu Yi!
It is precisely because other people's fans are constantly amway, constantly running, and the drama itself is excellent, that this makes "The People" a hit.
What's ridiculous is that after becoming famous, the screenwriter of the play shamelessly said, "Secretary Dakang (the role of "The People" who really became popular) should be made the male number one, because the role of Secretary Dakang should be aggravated." ”
Come on!
This kind of drama, if it weren't for Lu Yi, how many people would pay attention to it?
And in addition, it was the time of anti-corruption at that time, and the right time, place, and people were all occupied, which became popular.
However, the screenwriter was ashamed to say that the actor should be replaced.
Hehe.
If it weren't for Lu Yi as the leading actor, no matter how strong the lineup you gave, this drama would definitely not want to be a hit!
Talking about the intensity of anti-corruption, it's just empty talk, and even in terms of pure plot, it can't even compare to "National Action", nor can it compare to other excellent anti-corruption dramas.
The reason why the pod score will be high is actually to look at the number of voters.
The number of voters for "The People" was nearly 150,000!
But what about other recurring dramas?
Generally not more than five thousand!
Some people say that the filming in that era was not good, but is "The People" good?
Not necessarily.
If it weren't for the right time, place, and people, I don't know how far I would go.
At this time, people are eagerly looking forward to the emergence of a film and television drama that can reflect what happened in the anti-corruption process.
But because since 05, the domestic "drama" has gradually withdrawn from the stage with the restrictions of the policy, at this time, although some people see the business opportunities, but they may not dare to do it.
The location is favorable, but it is because of its broadcast platform.
Mango Terrace.
No matter how criticized and disgusting the mango platform is, it is undeniable.
This is just the "first local station" that dominates the crowd under CCTV!
The viewing foundation itself is not comparable to other TV stations.
It can be said that at this stage of the same prime time, even if it is CCTV, don't think about overpowering it!
In this way, a good foundation has been laid for "The People".
Whether this drama is good or bad, there will be a lot of people watching it.
In today's era, ratings don't represent anything, the key is to rely on topicality.
Obviously, such a TV series that occupies the right time and place is naturally full of topics, and it is on Mango Channel, which is naturally more pleasing.
