Chapter 179
Half of this chapter is the blogger's review of the drama, the audience's perspective
@BeiBei chasing drama:
【#桃花炽卓 first aired and the popularity exceeded 10,000 in 27 hours#
First of all, congratulations to our little peach flower! I was looking forward to this drama since I saw the shooting leaks, and the finished product did not disappoint me. Ling Suisui is worthy of being the ancient Greek god in charge of good works, and his reputation as the spokesperson for good dramas is well-deserved.
Many people say that the reason why this drama became so popular is because of Ling Sui's fan base and Aoqi's top-notch promotion. In fact, I think these are secondary factors.
There are many dramas that have a lot of traffic as the main star and have a huge hit on the first day but then lack momentum. However, the trend and viewing retention rate of Peach Blossom have proved that its plot can indeed attract the audience to stay.
Light costume comedies have been quite popular in recent years. Ever since the hit drama appeared in this genre, subsequent costume dramas, whether original or adapted, with or without comedy elements, have to be forced into them, and the result is a neither fish nor fowl.
Fortunately, when “light comedy” was about to become a label for bad dramas, our Taohua Zhuozhuo finally vindicated it.
The script and rhythm of Peach Blossom are particularly comfortable. The most rare thing about it is that it does not add various halos to the male or female protagonists. In the ancient idol market that is keen on using character filters to attract fans, this is simply incredible.
But this kind of "ordinary person" is the most suitable role for light comedy. In my impression, Taohua seldom emphasizes how noble the protagonists' status is, but often shows their predicament. For example, starting from the seventh episode, they had no money left after using up their monthly allowance, and both husband and wife went bankrupt. They had to live frugally and save money from various expenses.
The plots in episodes 7 and 8 about saving money are really good. I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt in front of the screen. The barrage and comment sections on other platforms are also very funny. By the way, I would like to praise Ling Sui’s fans who called for no controlled comments. Fans of good actors are confident. It is really cool to have a drama discussion forum without controlled comments. The experience is super great!
Light comedy is also a kind of comedy. I hope more crews will follow Taohua's example and stop thinking about giving the protagonist all kinds of awesome halos. What's the point if you can't perform it? No matter how noble the setting is, it cannot save an empty soul.
Currently, the popularity of Xu Fangfei and Zhou Cishuo’s characters are far ahead, and there is basically a gap with the others. Last year there were games, this year there are peach blossoms, Aoqi really should give Ling Suisui a kowtow.
Moreover, some people in the industry said that Peach Blossom Zhuozhuo was the script selected by Ling Suisui himself, and this script was not on Aoqi’s first batch list… Once again, I admire Ling Suisui’s vision, and I will call him “Sui Shen” out of respect. 】
@Little Mushroom who loves watching dramas:
[#Xu Fangfei has such a strong vitality#
Have all the family members watched Peach Blossoms? It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s truly the TOP ancient idol drama in my heart! Before, I thought Ling Sui was the best at Lu Hao, but after watching Peach Blossom Zhuo Zhuo, I was completely floored. I was already imagining reaching through the screen and hugging my baby Fang Fei and kissing her madly.
Before watching Peach Blossom, I really didn't expect Ling Sui's acting skills to be so good. Let’s talk about the comedy part first. For Ling Suisui, who played Sun Jiayi, this is not a comfort zone but a dominant zone. How to be funny, to what extent, how to throw and receive gags... Ling Sui did it all very well, and I'm not worried at all that she'll fail in this regard, this sister is too stable.
Let's talk about the character of the heroine in Taohua. Many people think that the silly and sweet role is easy to play and does not require much technical skills. Letting Ling Suisui play the role is like overkill, but this is actually the most difficult part.
Sun Jiayi is okay, Shi Zhen and Li Sanniang are also her classic roles. Both characters have the trait of being decisive and ruthless. Many actors, out of inertia, will bring the imprint of classic characters to other characters, but Ling Suisui does not do that, not even a little bit.
Xu Fangfei is Xu Fangfei. She is a little fool who is protected and loved by her family, so she explores the world with the most positive and optimistic attitude. Both are ancient costumes, Xu Fangfei and Li Sanniang are completely different, and Ling Suisui has a superb ability in character creation.
That sharpness is gone, replaced by innocent eyes and a silly smile. Who wouldn’t feel soft-hearted when seeing this? (3 animated pictures)
In fact, Taohua and Zhao Jiang are both Ling Sui's original voices, but you might not be able to hear it if I don't tell you, because the changes are too big... Some of Xu Fangfei's lines are a little bit clamped, and they sound quite coquettish, but they fit Ling Sui's expression very well, so cute that you want to eat him in one bite, woooo.
We at Fangfei don’t brag about the ceiling for the hostess’ character. People with vision will naturally understand. I would like to call Peach Blossoms the No. 1 idol drama that is friendly to the heroine. Oh my God, it is finally not the old routine of the heroine having a humbly crush on the hero, the heroine giving everything for the hero, and the heroine saying that she doesn't care but actually can't do without him!
Xu Fangfei's character from the beginning to the end is "I think I'm great, it's your loss if you can't appreciate me." This kind of girl who grew up being favored and full of confidence is a little bit childish, but she also has real charisma. It's like a flashing light effect in the crowd, and people's attention will be attracted to her unconsciously.
In the second episode, her mother worriedly asked what if Zhou Cishuo didn’t like her? Xu Fangfei said that if that was the case, she didn't like him either.
This shot gave Ling Sui a close-up, and her performance was really great! Fang Fei doesn't look up to the male protagonist at all. She puts herself on the same level as him, and "mutual dislike" is considered even.
Who understands how calm her expression was and how clear her eyes were when she said this. This kind of confidence from within supports Xu Fangfei's aura. Ling Sui's performance makes me feel so comfortable. It's not a refreshing point, but I just feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
Later I thought about it, I always follow the heroine's perspective when watching dramas. When the heroine looks up at the hero, it creates a sense of Su for the hero, and the highlight is on the hero, and the heroine herself is ignored; when the heroine looks straight at the hero, I don't have to raise my neck to follow him, and this angle must be more comfortable.
This is the value of a grand slam nomination for domestic mainstream awards. I really don’t understand those who still question Ling Sui’s poor acting skills. Come on, there are only a handful of actors in the domestic entertainment industry who can establish a character with just a close-up shot.
Other heroines of ancient costume dramas may rely on the halo of the protagonist, but if it is Xu Fangfei, I can completely understand why the male protagonist likes her.
Seriously speaking, the success of this character depends on 30% of the character setting and 70% on Ling Sui's acting skills. Every time she smiles, there is a feeling of vigor and prosperity, as if seeing a seed breaking through the soil, growing into a seedling, actively absorbing nutrients from the soil to bloom and bear fruit.
The most amazing thing about Ling Suisui is that no other actor can replace the roles she has played. Xu Fangfei's smile is very sweet, but it cannot be summed up by the word sweet. It should be the kind of sweetness with super strong vitality that can convey super energy to the audience through the screen.
I really like Xu Fangfei. Every time I see her in the same frame with the male lead, I always think in my heart, Li Mingxu, you must be tired of acting, why don’t I take over the role for a while? I also want to film with Ling Suisui!
God damn, the days of waiting for updates are so hard to bear. Even if I go to watch Ling Suisui's previous works, I can't find any substitutes... Damn it, the negative effects of Ling Suisui's face-throwing in dramas have already appeared:)
Two episodes a day is really not enough! Not to mention that there will be a break in the middle... Although it's unrealistic, I still dream of starting it quickly and releasing the last 32 episodes as soon as possible.]
@Guoguo's drama diary
【#Er Cifang#
Wow, ranking first on both trending lists, our Er Cifang is really popular. Who came up with this wicked CP name after all? It would have been enough to just call it Cifang, but why add the word "two"? Can't you give our xql some face?
I admit that I didn’t understand the marriage-first-love-later and stupid couple genres because I had no taste. I thought it was because I didn’t like this genre, but it turns out that I just hadn’t gotten to the right genre yet.
This pair is so good that I've been obsessed with it, refreshing the topic over and over again and wandering around in the super topic, hoping to pick up some new food. The CP super topic has already reached the top, the output teacher is so much, it's really hard to stop...
Our two Cifangs are both leaders of Beijing gangs. In the first episode, they fought over territory. In a sense, they are two strong men (bushi
It's reasonable to suspect that the parents of both families are also fans of the couple. That auntie smile is totally me! After marriage, even a forced melon can be sweet. Er Cifang is two little suns running towards each other in both directions, repelling each other but attracting each other. Although they are obviously a legal couple, their love is purer than that of elementary school students...
Who understands? When I saw the game was launched, I felt that Li Buyan and Shi Zhen had a subtle aura. I finally got an official pairing of Taohua! Although the two didn’t have much physical contact in the first few episodes, their eyes were really touching.
The handsome man and the beautiful woman are a perfect match, and Li Mingxu, the look in Ling Sui's eyes is definitely not innocent! I can prove that his acting is not so good in other dramas, so he must really love Ling Suisui!
The latest progress of episode 8: the young couple is having a quarrel again. Both of them were bankrupt and had no money. The stupid Zhou Cishuo went out and brought a gift for Fangfei, but when he got home he insisted that he bought it and gave it to her because he didn't want it anymore.
Baby Fangfei is not very happy. She thinks that he spends money recklessly and ignores him deliberately... It's really frustrating to be stuck here. Please make peace with Ercifang as soon as possible! 】
…
On the third day of the broadcast of "Peach Blossom", the audience's enthusiasm for discussion reached a new high. At this time, various bloggers have also sorted out their materials, and secondary creative pictures and texts about peach blossoms have exploded on multiple platforms.
At this point, no matter how many posts are opened, it will not change the reputation and momentum of "Peach Blossom Zhuo Zhuo", which is rising all the way. Even if robots post quickly and can briefly appear on the front page, updates that no one discusses will still sink to the bottom. They can never compare to places with more living people.
Moreover, brushing it too obviously will only cause the audience to rebel. These days, you can't praise too much, nor can you criticize too much. After all, after several rounds of baptism in the information age, there are not many netizens who are fools who allow themselves to be manipulated.
"Peach Blossom" initially had nine sections, but by the third day it had been increased to twelve sections, which is a real full section. Although the advertisements inevitably affect the audience's experience of watching the drama, no one can doubt that peach blossoms have a strong ability to attract money.
Now that the peach blossom explosion is almost a foregone conclusion and Aoqi has finally avenged his previous defeat, the focus of the entertainment crowd has shifted to the other two platforms.
The peach blossoms will take more than half a month to bloom. How should the antennas and corn cope with it?
This is the best summer vacation season. Should we bring out our trump card and compete head-on with Taohua for the market share, or learn from last year's experience of the game industry draining the market and avoid Ling Sui's limelight?
Tianya was so anxious that he wanted to curse, and some senior executives even asked the post-production staff of "Perfect Life", asking if the drama really couldn't be edited during the summer vacation?
Later stage: ...No, I really can’t, please be a human being!
Well, Antenna Video doesn’t mind letting "Perfect Life" drop out of the blue. It’s a disadvantage for other dramas to not have reservations, preheating, or investment, but is Ling Sui’s drama still afraid of these problems?
But if it can’t be edited in post-production, and it has to be submitted for review after editing, then there’s nothing we can do. Besides, this drama will be broadcast on Netflix, and dubbing in multiple languages will take time.
No matter how urgent it is, we still have to find a serious way to solve the problem. After some hesitation, they still didn't want to miss the summer vacation when all the students were on vacation, so they pushed the idol drama as planned, with the 90s beauties leading the 00s hotties.
The age difference is a bit big, but there's nothing we can do about it. Who says there are so few actresses who can fight? The status of an actress depends on the accumulation of works. Ling Suisui first had a national-level role and then became a celebrity recognized by others. Unlike male actors, she may become a celebrity with just one hit drama.
For example, Li Mingxu, whose number of followers has increased rapidly recently.
Although he basically attracts CP fans, although he was mocked as "debut work is Ling Suisui, representative work is Ling Suisui", although he is a useless pendant that everyone hates in the entertainment group...but as some post said, the raw fans all scold Li Mingxu, but they all hope to be Li Mingxu.
It is easy for a Hua Daisheng to take off, not to mention that Ling Sui has such a large traffic and so many peach blossom drama fans, how can this kid be so worthy!
However, despite his popularity and a surge in fan following, Li Mingxu was only happy for a few days before he discovered that various platforms were digging up negative material about him and judging his every word and action. He was on several negative search results a day and was greeted with rounds of abuse.
Li Mingxu was confused. What had he done to anger God and the people that made people hate him so much?
"Nothing, you're just going to be famous."
Ling Suisui calmly comforted him: "This is the only way to get high traffic. Think about it, when the game was broadcast last year, wasn't I also being researched like crazy?"
Speaking of which, she had both a hit TV series and a movie last year, and she has really used up all the opportunities that can be tapped into. So after her peach blossom debut, her peers no longer paid attention to her because that would only be a waste of time.
Since she can't be killed by a sniper, the target naturally becomes Li Mingxu.
Compared to Ling Suisui, whose status has already risen and cannot be easily brought down, her leg pendant Li Mingxu is more worthy of protection.
——There is no free lunch in the world. Everyone wants to enjoy the bonus of Ling Sui's hit drama, but it depends on whether they can eat it.
At that time, the haters dug deep and the biggest point of ridicule they found was that she was late for her elective course. There is nothing else besides this.
If it’s Li Mingxu…it’s hard to say.
Ling Suisui knew that he would not do anything particularly serious that would immediately affect the show, and at most he would have some moral flaws. If he was an obscure person, no one would care about him, but now that he has gained attention, netizens' standards for him have naturally increased as well.
In that case, it doesn't matter. It's Planet Films that should be anxious, she is not Li Mingxu's agent.
When celebrities have to pay for their words and deeds, even if the popularity can be suppressed for a while, as long as they still go for traffic, their opponents will bring it up again and again, and it cannot be hidden.
Nowadays, as long as there is no major mistake in principle, the audience will automatically "separate the person from the drama". If Li Mingxu appears on more black hot searches, Aoqi can save some publicity expenses.
Even if a male actor with negative information can make some die-hard fans suffer, it will be a big blow to his most important popularity among passers-by.
Look, the detour that young people should take has finally come.
