Many years ago, when I first saw Bai Ke in "Unexpectedly", I never imagined that one day I would see this guy make a romantic drama. I'm so stupid, really, I only know that domestic romance dramas are involutionary, but I don't know that domestic romance dramas are vertically subdivided to such an extent.
This male protagonist is a somewhat outrageous drama called "You Who Saved 10,000 Times", which was adapted from the Korean manga "My Boss Dies Once a Day", which was also adapted into a Korean drama of the same name.
The play tells the unfortunate story of the fateful entanglement between a social animal heroine and a mean boss: the mean boss is hated and cursed by his colleagues. Whenever the boss is cheap and annoying, a word of "go to death" who complains behind his back will really lead to The boss dies, and the boss's death leaves the heroine trapped in a time loop, living a repetitive day. In order to break the curse, the heroine can only shoulder the mission of saving the boss's life and preventing his poisonous tongue from "seeking death".
Taiwanese director Deng Anning, who was nominated for the Golden Bell Award, can be said to be able to shoot this kind of romantic comedy sketch with a big brain hole. For many viewers, they only know that the director is very important to the success or failure of a TV series, but from a professional perspective, they may not know much about what is important. I once chatted with a screenwriter friend who has been in the industry for seven or eight years. In his words, a good director, after getting the script, knows very well "what to do" and "how to do it", that is, he knows the script. , and know how to organize and implement the audio-visual, atmosphere, performance, and scheduling required for each scene of the script. And a director who doesn't understand these two points is every screenwriter's nightmare.
Obviously, "You Who Saved 10,000 Times" is at least attentive and accurate in terms of comedy. In this regard, the screenwriter is attentive enough, and the starring Bai Ke has contributed a lot. Even if he has facial paralysis, he can still reflect his acting skills. It's worth it. Every male actor with facial paralysis is copy-pasted, and years of experience in comedy performances have also made him quite skilled in adjusting the rhythm of comedy.
But in terms of love scenes, it's a matter of opinion. I can only say that the combination of actors like Bai Ke and Zhang Yaqin is wonderful. When I saw the romantic first kiss on the screen of "Wang Dachui", it is difficult for me to describe the mood at that moment. As a fan of the character "Wang Dachui" for many years, I am not only pleased with the breakthrough of Bai Ke's performance and genre, but also a kind of "say good" Let's be funny girls together, and now you secretly become a female star" feeling of betrayal.
When it comes to domestic comedy TV dramas, up to now, everyone can think of them are still "Wulin Gaiden", "Family with Children", and even the older but classic "I Love My Family" sitcoms. In recent years, domestic dramas have rarely seen relatively pure comedies, and most of them are other types of dramas under the banner of "light comedy".
However, there are not many screenwriters and creative teams who can understand the element of "light comedy" alone. This leads to a very absurd scene in many TV dramas under the banner of light comedy: a so-called In the comedy segment, the screenwriter writes awkwardly, the director doesn't understand the rhythm of comedy, and the actors don't understand comedy performances, thinking that making a strange face and showing ugliness is comedy. All the creators worked extremely hard to "funny", and the audience in front of the screen was so embarrassed.
In the past few years, I have read it from beginning to end, and I think that the comedy elements are well done, "My Babylonian Lover" is one, and "You Who Saved Ten Thousand Times" is one. The high degree of completion of the comedy elements in these two dramas is inseparable from the fact that the two directors have a more mature understanding of comedy and the actors are good at comedy performances. At the same time, they also reflect the new characteristics of the new generation of Chinese drama creators in terms of comedy.
"I Love My Home" and "The Story of the Editorial Board", these classic sitcoms from decades ago, from lines to performances, have a strong intellectual satirical humor, which is inseparable from the social environment at that time, the creator's education and living conditions . And now "My Babylonian Lover" and "You Who Saved 10,000 Times" have a more comical, nonsensical, and brainy sense of humor. Going back to the source, this is also because the new generation of comedy creators and young audiences grew up in the immersion of comics and Stephen Chow movies.
Why do we no longer have "Wulin Biography" and "I Love My Family"? If there is still such a work, can it be broadcast? Is Aiyouteng willing to buy it? Is the comedy creation of our TV series broken? Still innovating? Or saving the country on the curve?
With these "deep" thoughts and light worries, I ate potato chips and continued to devote myself to the romantic comedy "You Who Saved 10,000 Times", which netizens said was "childish, pompous and brainless". Have an ordinary social animal night.

Bai Ke expression pack
"You Who Saved 10,000 Times" basically continues the setting of the original work. The plot is quite original, with a large number of comedy paragraphs added, but the form of expression retains the strong sense of comics and escape from the original work.Taiwanese director Deng Anning, who was nominated for the Golden Bell Award, can be said to be able to shoot this kind of romantic comedy sketch with a big brain hole.

Bai Ke as Bai Zhen
Zhang Yaqin as Li Luduo
Small and medium-sized dramas like "You Who Saved 10,000 Times" will not have lower requirements on the director because of their low cost. On the contrary, the two elements of comedy and love are quite a test of the director's skills. Big scenes such as action and war are more difficult at the technical level, while small plots such as comedy and love require the director's precise grasp of the sense of rhythm and atmosphere of the drama. In a comedy, the lines between the lines are wrong, and the laughing fruit is discounted; in a scene where love is slowly heating up, the atmosphere is not created correctly, and the tension of the actors' performance is not right, there may be no heartbeat but embarrassment.Obviously, "You Who Saved 10,000 Times" is at least attentive and accurate in terms of comedy.

emotional drama
This drama is currently rated at two extremes on a certain valve. If you don't like it, you will find it exaggerated and naive. If you like it, you will feel haha and happy. The cost is small, the comics are changed, and the actors don't have any big stars. Maybe no one will take such a work too seriously. But to be honest, this drama has not lost its chain in all aspects of playwriting, performance, shooting, aesthetics, special effects, editing, etc. And this "do not fall off the chain" in the current environment of domestic dramas, it is already invaluable.When it comes to domestic comedy TV dramas, up to now, everyone can think of them are still "Wulin Gaiden", "Family with Children", and even the older but classic "I Love My Family" sitcoms.

The nonsensical humor with wide-open brains, and the comic-style exaggeration that relies more on audio-visual methods, also limit its audience: younger. It is difficult to reach the heights of works like "I Love My Family": while making people laugh, they can still ponder and think about its wonderful lines and sharp points of view.Why do we no longer have "Wulin Biography" and "I Love My Family"? If there is still such a work, can it be broadcast? Is Aiyouteng willing to buy it? Is the comedy creation of our TV series broken? Still innovating? Or saving the country on the curve?
