TV drama information
There are many new episodes this week, with rich genres, criminal investigation, romance and ancient costumes... Friends who have experienced a period of drama shortage can "judgment".
The new gift-themed drama "The Great Us" starring Yu Qian and Guan Xiaotong held its opening ceremony in Chengdu last week. Broadcast on CCTV.
Zhuang Dafei, Huang Junjie, Fan Zhixin, and Zhu Linyu starred in the ancient costume legal romance drama "Miss Chunjia is a Litigation Lawyer", which will be broadcast exclusively on iQiyi on March 24.
Directed by Zhang Jian, starring Feng Yue, Wei Daxun, and He Ziming, the spy drama "Butterfly Shadow" (formerly known as Gray Goose) has officially announced that it will be broadcast on Tencent Video, iQiyi, and LeTV Video on March 21. The drama was completed in 2016, and it has been nearly seven years.
"who is he"
Who is he poster
Zhang Yi is about to become a professional criminal police officer, but with his selection, acting skills and on-site guidance guarantee, coupled with Ding Hei's supervision, it is indeed a kind of backing.
"Who is he" is a criminal investigation drama with a clear style, with obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the plot is fast and neat. It was quickly established, and the details, evidence, and memories of the case were richly implemented, which is a typical "criminal investigation". Wei Guoping played by Zhang Yi is nicknamed Wei Wuqi, the meaning is self-evident, and the character design is much stronger than An Xin in "Hurricane". In addition, the era atmosphere of the series is also well created, trying to restore the gang ecology of the 1990s. But there are also shortcomings. The rhythm of the series is too scattered. For example, the interweaving of the three levels of music, camera, and characters sometimes seems chaotic and deliberate. Staying at the stage where suspense dramas need to be stacked with broken shots and fast editing requires the audience to have enough Patience to digest and piece together the whole plot.
On March 16, the popularity of "Who Is He" broke through 10,000 on Youku
Although it has not reached the level of a drama or a blockbuster, both Zhang Yi and Ding Hei have given the drama a layer of guarantee, and it is worth watching.
"echo"
"Echo" poster
This is destined to be a work of polarizing evaluation. According to director Feng Xiaogang's self-report, he has devoted himself to this drama for two years, and he has kept his ears to the outside world. From scouting the scene to the actors of the script, he personally decided.
"Echo" is adapted from the novel of the same name, and the screenwriter is also the author himself. The heroine is the captain of the criminal police, who encounters family turmoil and homicide problems at the same time, and walks exhausted in depression every day, and the two lines are intertwined in the narrative. It sounds like we can indeed make a "Nightmare on the East Side" that belongs to us, but the reality is often very skinny.
One is Song Jia's acting skills. In order to show the fatigue, hardship, and entanglement of the middle-aged criminal police captain, she lowered her voice, but she couldn't conceal her gentle temperament that was not shrewd and tough, but gave people a sense of deliberation. The second is that neither the family line nor the murder line can withstand scrutiny. At present, it seems that the heroine seems to be conniving at her husband's derailment, rather than avoiding or being too busy to deal with the relationship between husband and wife. The homicide line was filmed with a sense of stage, and the frequent use of memory fragments during the interrogation caused the rhythm to be incoherent and the emotions to be fragmented. In addition, the heroine cooks and washes the dishes, and also helps her husband solve the mistress. Such a "good wife" is easier to understand in a costume drama, but in a criminal investigation drama, she is still a criminal policeman. The Lord’s condescension and seeking of perfection is for a greater purpose.
If you leave Feng Xiaogang aside and just regard "Echo" as an ordinary drama in the Misty Theater, then whether it is a good camera, the tension of the story is good, plus the details such as many famous guest appearances, "Echo" is worth watching. s work.
"The Way Back"
"The Way Back" poster
According to the feedback from book fans, the plot of the original work is still very much restored. The atmosphere of the shooting is good, and there is no big problem in the way of convincing. The ability to restore the era and set the scene, including the shooting ability, is worthy of recognition. It is not a pompous and cheap romance drama. .
But the problem is not small. First of all, Jing Boran and Tan Songyun's cp sense is not enough. No matter how you look at it, they are more like brother and sister. Jing Boran shaved his head for this role and deliberately made his skin rougher, but he looks more like Tan Songyun's brother. Secondly, the author has read the novel, but as far as the plot is concerned, the emotional intensity of the two in the first few episodes is all created by the people around them, coaxing, matching, memories, and sadness. The two protagonists began to cry in this atmosphere. Sentimental, but to the audience, it is a mask, like opening a youth pain literature, the protagonist is sad and painful at every turn, as if this relationship has experienced life and death, or what kind of deep hatred has experienced that made me meet Has the ex become so embarrassing and painful? The two protagonists are secretive about this, and the plot will not be explained for the time being. Of course, if you want to know the answer, you must read it. If the answer is not deep enough, the current emotion is just artificial (the reason given in the original book is quite weak anyway).
But after reading the preview, if the two start a sweet relationship, if they are sweet enough, they don’t have to worry about breaking up because of something, just wait for the sugar!
"Spring Sunshine"
"Spring Sunshine" poster
For a drama that talks about the status quo of the entertainment industry, the key lies in how dare you make it. At present, it seems that it is still a cliché in the entertainment industry, such as Miss Numbers, speculation about CP, old drama players who are not used to the top streamers, top streamers are arrogant and domineering, etc., but these are not "dry goods" at all in today's entertainment circle. It's more like a compilation of Internet gossip, but even so, if the filming is vigorous and colorful, it can be regarded as a glimpse of the leopard. It's a pity that it is obviously about the entertainment industry, but it is presented in the style of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law life drama, which makes people drowsy. Even if there is an old drama, it is difficult to play it without a strong script support. As an actor, Huang Zitao acted in his true colors, without any surprises or accidents.
It's really boring, you can have dinner with this drama, the advantage is that you can relax and not use your brain.

Na Ying recalled the days of making records in Taiwan with a lot of emotion: "I still miss the music atmosphere, everyone's friendship, and precious works."
"When I was a student, I caught up with the development of folk songs in Taiwan's music campus. A few classmates, with a few guitars, spent arguing with everyone about how to sing in harmony." This is Zhang Xinzhe's Taiwan music story. In this regard, Ai Yiliang also felt the same, "The most serious homework every student does is to memorize Jay Chou's rap, and sing Jay Chou's songs on KTV from beginning to end whenever they have time."
Speaking of early Taiwanese songs, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Grandma's Penghu Bay".

Wu Qilong, who participated in the three seasons of "The Star Chaser", said that the previous programs also had various challenges, but this time it was indeed the hardest physically. However, he also used the story of the "starry sky photographer" to encourage everyone, "Starry sky photographers go over mountains and mountains, just for a photo, sometimes you don't know what your limit is, because you have never tried to challenge your limit .”

In the program aired this week, the Wuha Brothers Group bought new year's goods. In the Northeast, you have to eat pig-killing dishes for the Chinese New Year, but the way to send pigs to the Wuha Group is very difficult. I really want to eat a warm New Year’s Eve dinner. The old sow was pulled in the cart, and the cart couldn't start because it had to be pushed... Someone sighed: "Who ordered the white meat and blood sausage, (go here) to catch up with the scriptures!"
