Author:Report Time:2022.07.28

"Star Han" is adapted from the online novel "Star Han Gel, Fortunately and even". The original IP plus the fans of the two starring fans of Zhao Lusi and Wu Lei, the drama continued the new wave of "ancient puppets" (costume idol drama) set off by "Menghua Record". In the end, the creators comprehensively comprehensively and implemented the many popular trends of the current "ancient puppets", but therefore also produced some division within its type.

Based on the pre -models, the popular elements and social hot topics of the web, ancient puppets and social hotspots were incorporated on the basis of explosive model

The novel author cares about the most watched work, which is "Do you know if you should be green fat and red and thin" adapted from noon sunlight (hereinafter referred to as "Knowing"). The relationship is authentic and vivid. "Star Han Silver" continues the story of the author's good -looking house fighting+romance theme, and starts the story from the perspective of the general young girl Cheng Shaoshang (Zhao Luisi), telling the journey of her home after growing in the house after growing in the house. Suspected (Wu Lei )'s sincere love for life and death. The adaptation of the explosive model of the same author was aimed at the "Star Han" to lay a good foundation at the audience's acceptance level.

However, "Star Han" is different from the most typical house fighting drama represented by "Knowing No".

Such as Chinese -style mother and daughter relationship. In "Star Han", the contradiction between Cheng Shaoshang and his mother Xiao Yuanyi is not only the main line of the first ten episodes, but also the most finely written and most likely to resonate with the audience in the work. As soon as Cheng Shaoshang was born, Xiao Yuanyi rushed to the battlefield with her husband and took away Cheng Shaoshang's twin brother, but left Shaoshang at home. In the next 15 years, Cheng Shaoshang grew up under the abuse of the vicious aunt, became cautious and vigilant, and there were many small cleverness that must be reported. Xiao Yuanyi returned from victory, and at a glance, he saw the small means that the young businessman was not bright enough, so he wanted to think of the minor problems with the small business of the young Shang Shang, and to make up for the guilt that he failed to educate himself for 15 years. However, Xiao Yuanyi is too severe, and the serious dislike of the young businessman stabs the young and sensitive heart of young businessmen.爱爱姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎姎 close the door to her mother.

Although the emphasis on the relationship between Cheng Shaoshang and mother and daughter in the play, strictly speaking, it does not provide new narrative methods and narrative perspectives, but it is really delicate and real, which has caused a strong emotional effect, which has promoted the audience and Cheng Shaoshang The first important thrust of empathy reflects the keen grasp of the audience and market preferences, that is, contemporary society that is rapidly changing in culture and concepts, traditional Chinese -style family ethics and freedom and equal modern personality concept Algeneus frictions are constantly triggering. We can also discover similar elements in the popular web articles in recent years: the online novel "Sixteen and Forty -one", which has been serialized at the end of 2020, has caused widespread discussion due to the appropriate display of Chinese -style mother -daughter relationships; The ancient drama "Chen Yan in the rumor" set up an important contradiction between promoting the development of the plot in the mother of the master of Huayuan City and her three daughters. The source.

Another example is the creation trend of family "group pets". Although the aunt Ge's torture Cheng Shao Shang was 15 years long, this process accounted for a small proportion in the episode of the episode. As the only "anti -ist" in the play, Ge was restingly returned to his mother's house within a short time at the beginning. Therefore, in addition to the stalemate with her mother and not being close to her grandmother, Cheng Shaoshang has actually become the "group pet" of the Cheng family, and the "house fighting" has become a "house tease".

If the source of this trend, from around 2020, a group of works that focus on affection or "group pets" appeared in the romance online novels. "Little Sister" ", the heroine (or the entire teacher's door) loved the warm comedy as the core highlight of the whole work, so that the heroine grew up in the emotions of relatives and friends and friends, instead of emphasizing men and women to emphasize men and women. The love relationship between the protagonist does not use the harsh family relationship, and the loneliness of the heroine's situation is the preciousness of love. Correspondingly, the costume drama adapted from online novels also reflects such a trend. For example, "Qingyu Years" and "Resessive" are all described as a male protagonist's family member and family relationship with a comedy gentle pen, so that each personality In order to rely on the family to become the most important confidence and support for the heroine, "And Test the World" also gave the heroine Bai Fengxi a warm home. Her father and brother gave her freedom and gently guarded her.

Compared to the typical rivals in the world of typical house fighting, no branches can be rely on, such as thin ice, such a family narrative is more in line with the audience's beautiful desire for family relationships, especially for women who often pay more emotional values in real life As far as the audience is concerned, it is an effective psychological comfort to feel the value of being favored in literary works.

Since it is "ancient puppet", love narrative is naturally the top priority. One section of the Lantern Festival, the three men who admired the young businessmen appeared together. Lou Yan was simple and simple. Yuan Shan saw the belly black poisonous tongue. The configuration of such a woman and three men has the flavor of early romance works, but now "a lifetime of one life" has already become the "ancient puppet" standard. Although Lou Yan and Yuan Shanjian have been the fiance of the young businessmen, Lingwu does not have a young businessman, but Lingwu does not have a young businessman, but Lingwu does not have a young businessman, but Lingwu does not have a young businessman, but Lingwu does not have a young businessman, but Ling does not have Ling Bu. The doubt is the true emperor, and the love between him and the young businessman is destined to be destined than previous lives. Therefore, the audience does not have to worry about who the heroine chooses. The main role of Lou and Yuan is just to add a little twists and turns to the love story of the male and female protagonists, and at the same time, the "group pet" of the heroine will be carried out to the end. As for the love of young businessmen and Ling, although it still can't get rid of common routines such as hero saving beauty and rejoicing enemies, both the plot design and the male heroine's performance have been natural and reasonable. tension. In addition, the heroine has both the sweetness of the "sweet pet drama" and the intelligence, courage and independence of the "big heroine"; Gu Qianfan and others have a relatively similar person. These are basically the "standard" of the current ancient drama. Lack of thickness and real sense, the narrative elements of "home and the world" have become forcibly sensational

Whether it is love, affection or house fighting, or group pets, "Star Han" has achieved the overall clear and smooth processing, logical coherent, distinctive character, and compact plot. A comfortable drama experience will not allow the audience to have an unclear look.

The biggest problem in the play appears on the calling elements of "family feelings and the righteousness of the world".

For the first time, Cheng Shaoshang left home, and encountered the insurance bureaus of the rebellion in Shu. He not only witnessed the tragic war, but also admired Cheng Lao County Ling Gaoyi, who was defending the death of the city, and began to understand the difficulties of his mother. Began to escape the limitations of the Fangyuan House House. This is the first key node for the personal growth of young businessmen, and it has indeed successfully mobilized the audience's emotional resonance. At the same time, Ling Ling's deepening of sweat and sweat and sweat and his emperor Yizi also destined that the "home country" will be an important narrative line in the play. However, the focus of "ancient puppet" lies in romance after all. The background color of "Star Han" has made the house contradiction occupy a lot of space, and the drama left to the world is very limited; on the other hand, the creator's ability is also the ability It is not enough to support the thickness and feelings in the battle between Chaotang and the world's war situation. It is manifested in the play that the plot related to Chaotang, war, and military weapon cases is treated thickly and suspended.

This is also a common problem that today's "ancient puppets". Since "Langya List", the narrative of the country has become an important element for improving the characteristics of costume dramas. It has been frequently requisitioned, and the ancient puppet dramas that are eager to break through the narrative routine of "only love" are no exception. However, the "narrative of the country" should not be mobilized by emotions, but should provide rational thinking. The reason why "Langya Bang" can succeed is because it has fallen the overhead historical background in the original work to the "Nanliang Chase years" and shaped a country with enough realism. However, most of the ancient drama creators do not have such ability. They can only make up some social systems and economic people's livelihood in the plot like "Star Han Silver". "Mobilizing the emotions of the audience, on the other hand, cannot provide a practical logical foundation for this passion. From this perspective, the creators of the ancient drama frequently inserted the "family narrative" that lacked the foundation and forcibly sensational in the work, and I am afraid that it is not a benign trend.
