The recently released show - The Princess Royal - has caused quite a sensation. It attracted a large number of viewers' attention as soon as it was aired. Those who have watched the show cannot stop and are immersed in the plot.Today, the editor watched - The Princess Royal -, and finally understood why the audience did not give up on Yu Zheng, and let's discuss it with everyone.

Before broadcast.

A middle-aged couple kills each other and restarts their lives, setting the mood!

Zhao Jinmai & Zhang Linghe repaired the blood field in the rain, the atmosphere was so strong!

At that time, most netizens felt that "The Princess Royal" was a dark horse, and believed that it could even surpass the main drama "Mo Yu Yun Jian" and have the potential to become another popular dark horse in 2024..

However, when the feature film was released, “Dark Horse”'s expectations were instantly shattered.

There was one negative review that won the approval of many viewers: It was like children playing house.

After watching the first 6 episodes of Seven Episodes - The Princess Royal - I basically feel the same as the popular negative reviews.Objectively speaking, it is not a “bad drama”, it still has some notable points.

For example, the appearance of the male and female protagonists; another example, the setting of multiple people being reborn; the setting of a middle-aged couple falling in love and killing each other and then returning to the youthful era. It is still very popular in domestic dramas, the plot is interesting, and there is considerable potential.place.

As a time-killing movie, The Princess Royal passes the test.

But now it is 2024, and the representative works of domestic ancient puppets are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Every year, ancient puppets are mass-produced, with large quantities and high investment. The theme of rebirth has just exploded - Mo Yuyunjian.

Under the impact of so many works, the audience's aesthetics are changing, and the requirements for market works are also changing. Dark horse works that want to surprise the public are not just good-looking actors and gimmicks.

What it needs is for the actors not to hold back, and for the plot to be stable and seek breakthroughs, and these are exactly what The Princess Royal lacks. This drama failed to catch the enthusiasm of most of the audience, and still fell into commonplace problems.

Acting and Persuasion

The casting of 《The Princess Royal》 is already considered a top choice in the “ugou”-dominated film and television industry. The heroine Zhao Jinmai is good-looking, and her acting skills are among the best among those born in the 2000s, even better than many in the 1990s and 1995s.The seniors are all solid.

The male advocate Ling He is well-known as a potential stock that is waiting to be exploded (the resource has already exploded). He was ranked as one of the most popular among netizens at that time because of his handsome appearance that is not ugly at all.

The handsome men and beautiful women are a joy to watch. The show released several trailers, and netizens couldn't help but get excited.

However, the two protagonists are a perfect match for each other, but each has his or her own setbacks.

The embarrassment of Zhao Jinmai is that her middle-aged appearance is too childish, and the first impression given to the audience of a domineering middle-aged princess who has been playing tricks for decades at the peak of her power is too much like a child, which affects the sense of immersion.

After the heroine was reborn and returned to her teenage years, her suitability was obviously different.

For the male advocate Ling He, it is the most basic issue of acting.

In the play, the male and female protagonists were a young couple married by the emperor in their previous life. The eldest princess married a son from a poor family. Although their union was coerced by external forces, they also had a loving and happy time.

Later, in order to help Mei Zhuma's ex-fiancée, the male protagonist had a quarrel with the female protagonist. The male protagonist was unwilling to explain clearly his feelings for Qingmei and his wife, and the female protagonist was in pain and anger because she found out that her husband loved someone else.

Based on the experience of chasing the story of Chapter 7 for most of my life, the male protagonist must have loved the female protagonist in his previous life, because if the male protagonist does not love the female protagonist and really has other Bai Yueguang in his heart, readers will not be able to read the official CP.

But here's the problem... If the male protagonist truly loved the female protagonist, no matter whether he understood his heart at the time or not, he would never be like this now - facing the female protagonist's accusation, there is no trace of his feelings for the female protagonist.like.

You can't even see the pain in his heart.

Once there is a flaw in the protagonist's sense of substitution, the persuasiveness of the story will be greatly reduced. At least, for ordinary viewers who do not have a fan filter, they will lose the ability to place the work on the level of surprise or excellence.

Therefore, the producers of the ancient puppets cannot take it lightly after selecting the Tiancai cast. Makeup assistance, atmosphere creation, and requirements for the actors' acting skills are all indispensable. A lack of one thing is a minor flaw, and a lack of variety is a major deduction..

Character and rhythm

The sense of character substitution will affect the audience's first impression, but fortunately - The Princess Royal - the first episode is supported by the show's most exciting couple killing plot. In fact, the actors' problems can be covered up by the plot to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, after the first episode, without the key plot to support it - The Princess Royal - the plot began to fall apart.

The male and female protagonists are too ancient.

After rebirth, you will find that the powerful prime minister who can influence the court is a fool, and the eldest princess who has been at the peak of power for many years is a love brain... Okay, respect the mix of themes and characters.

But it was like that in the previous life, and after the male and female protagonists reunited, there was no tense head-banging tension at all... Like many ancient dolls who are sweet pets, they regard spreading sugar as a full-time job.

I still remember the classic words of the creator of The Princess Royal: Don't simply define The Princess Royal as an ancient puppet.

The film and television industry is now very resistant to the judgment of ancient puppets, but it is the audience who really want the industry to break away from the settings and styles of ancient puppets. Those who are really obsessed with the settings of ancient puppets are precisely the creators who hate ancient puppets.

If you set a pair of male and female protagonists who once stood at the top of power, who look young on the outside but are middle-aged at heart, to look far away from maturity on the inside, how can the audience not regard them as ancient puppets?

Okay, maybe the screenwriter doesn't like rebirth and serious atmosphere, so how can he use ancient puppet shells to create exciting sparks?

However, no.

What follows is basically the daily routine of the male and female protagonists fighting and leveling up, interspersed with chicken J’s quarrels and ancient puppet-style plotting, and the rhythm is looser than the old eunuch’s face. After following several episodes, basically except for the first episodeThere will be no new hot spots.

Not only was the tension brought by the rebirth-themed protagonist's re-opening his account was wasted, but the atmosphere of the ancient puppet romance was also less appealing because the protagonist's character design was clichéd and the plot rhythm was slack.

Audiences who are familiar with the subject of ancient puppets should be familiar with similar situations. - Mo Yuyunjian - many previous ancient puppets have almost had similar problems. In the past, the public also had a name for this kind of work: assembly line ancient puppets.even.

Maybe the show will still be among the most popular dramas in the end because of the freshness of the subject matter and the good looks of the actors, but from the current point of view, it is lucky that the work can stay in the air. The dark horse that everyone expected before the broadcast was with《The PrincessRoyal》No chance.

The Sorrow of the Assembly Line

A work that is an assembly line that can be seen with the naked eye will only make people feel that it deserves it. However, an ancient puppet with a very good foundation appears in the form of an assembly line. Even if it can maintain a flat broadcast, it will make people feel that it is a pity.

Why can’t we go further with such a good foundation of works?

Every time I see this phenomenon, as an antique doll lover, I can't help but feel disappointed.This time - The Princess Royal - happens to follow the main drama - Mo Yuyunjian -, the gap between the two dramas makes people feel even more ironic.

Many people don't understand why most netizens question Yu Zheng and hate his opportunism, but Yu Zheng can be like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. The more fierce people criticize him, the more prosperous he is in the film and television industry.

In fact, many times it’s not that the audience is not determined enough, but that they really have no choice.

For example, The Princess Royal and Mo Yuyunjian are both about rebirth.

《 Mo Yu Yunjian 》 has many flaws. The plot is controversial, the characters are controversial, and the ending even caused a controversy. However, the rhythm of the story and the charm of the theme are all firmly grasped.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zheng knows what is good about a drama and what the audience wants to see.

The exciting points of the heroine being reborn and being slapped in the face are very dense. The CP lines of the male and female protagonists are not supported by the scenes, but are narrated on the basis of the enjoyable drama. The screenwriter knows very well where the charm of the subject matter is and the sultry nature of the CP.Where is it?

Different protagonist stories and different story perspectives certainly cannot follow other people's routines, but at least you have to know what the essence of this subject matter is that can attract the audience, and what kind of love can really move the audience.

If the two core things of rhythm and plot points are grasped firmly, other flaws can be downplayed to a certain extent. However, if these two points are not grasped firmly, not only the flaws will be magnified, but the basic charm of the plot will also be difficult to maintain perfectly..

Of course, creators can disdain Yu Zhengweiwu, who is opportunistic after understanding the market rules, and conquer the audience with more exquisite and creative stories. This is definitely what the audience expects most and is better for the development of the film and television industry.

But the reality is that most creators, especially ancient puppet creators, feel that the things they make are not cliché ancient puppets, but the real finished products are not even as good as Yu Zheng’s works, which is embarrassing and regrettable.

Regarding watching - The Princess Royal -, I finally understood why the audience didn't give up on Yu Zheng. All the content is here. I don't know if it will help everyone.
