However, I still have to remind you that during the movie screening, it is illegal to shoot movie screens and make them into animations, short videos, Jiugongge, etc. It can be said that if you see Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede’s high-fives of the century on Weibo, Moments, etc. in the past two days, they are all stolen shots, because since "Slam Dunk" was released in Japan last year, related stills have been taken from Not officially released.

"Dragon City"
"Dragon City" poster
When I watched it, I kept thinking, did I really love such a story when I was a teenager? It’s not that the story itself is bad, but I have to say that when people have seen more stories and heard more about life, some thin things will become mediocre, uninteresting, and contrived. Watching the drama "Dragon City" is such a feeling.
Perhaps it was because the novel was written earlier. At that time, youth literature in China was in its heyday. Young people left their homes, pregnancy and abortion, and family ethics... Such plots invaded youth with novelty, while only martial arts Jianghu, mothers-in-law and mothers were shown on TV. Nature cannot be compared. But when the current cultural trend of thought has gradually diversified, the stories in "Dragon City" themselves seem to have little meaning.
To put it bluntly, "Dragon City" is more like an imagination of the author Dean's life when he was young. When this imagination is combined with the times, this is a good work that has been passed down in youth; when this imagination is out of touch with the times, time has passed. , This has become a "chicken rib" that is tasteless to eat and discarded. How many people's youth is like Xijue and Dongni? Without the era, and without the empathy of the characters, the whole drama looks awkward.
For example, Dong Ni's good friend Jiang Yi was by her side when Xi Jue was frustrated. She suddenly approached Xi Jue's back and said, "You really have a face that makes people feel distressed." Immediately, people shivered. But I also remembered that this sentence is very common in the novels I read during adolescence, and I don’t think it is very abrupt, but when it is adapted into a realistic drama series, this sentence seems very childish and hypocritical.
Another plot about Jiang Yi is that when Xi Jue confessed his love, Jiang Cai told him that he had a husband, and Xi Jue left disappointed. Such behavior is also confusing in the contemporary world, won't Dong Ni tell Xi Jue? Why didn't Jiang Yi say it before? Such hypocrisy in the youth literature of the year was a kind of "sorrow", a kind of "pain", and a kind of "scar", so I don't talk about it, but now, it is a big reward for confusing behavior.
Ma Yili said that she has been waiting for the role of Dong Ni for 14 years. Judging from the effects of the current episodes, Ma Yili's performance of Dong Ni is not bad, she has her unique temperament, and she is full of stubbornness, and she performed Dong Ni with a special "sense of brokenness". But she is definitely not playing Dong Ni in the hearts of book fans. According to the novel, this character should be glamorous and superficially domineering. However, Bai Yu's performance in the Western Conference finals is more qualified, and the "sense of brokenness" is stronger. Generally speaking, the actors did not hold back, and they were all considered capable. Of course, actors work hard, and they can’t avoid the problem of choosing the wrong person. The whole story has a certain time span. The opening Dong Ni is supposed to be in his 20s. Ma Yili and Bai Yu are really embarrassed. Only two years older than Ma Yili. When they call their younger sister Little Rabbit, they are not like older brothers and sisters, they are completely a family of three.
If you have the time to watch "Dragon City", it's better to watch some variety shows that are easy to eat, or light comedies that are slapstick.
"The Law Speaker"
"The Law Speaker" poster
Recently, Ma Guoming's new drama started airing on Zaiduidui. We all know that professional dramas in Hong Kong dramas are very good, and this time is no exception. Ma Guoming plays a "master", this profession is relatively unfamiliar to domestic audiences. Barristers need a role similar to a "broker" to deal with customer source issues, and this position is "Master". If there are no cases, the master will go to find a case. If there are too many cases, the master will screen the ones who are easy to fight.
The role played by Ma Guoming this time was originally a top student in the law department, but because he was in prison, he had no chance to become a barrister again, but he did not give up and became a gold medal master. It can also find the best solution when lawyers are nervous, and unite law firms. Barrister is a high-level office job, but the master must have a network of friends from all walks of life. Therefore, although the overall atmosphere of the series is more Hong Kong drama routines, Ma Ming's acting skills are good, and the stories are rich and he doesn't worry about being bored. It looks very good.
"Long Moon Embers"
"Long Moon Embers" poster
The evaluation of the TV series "low" has become the number one hot search in the past few days. I am afraid that the producer did not expect it. After all, before the broadcast, the internal information is how excellent the show is, how good it is, and how it will explode. But in any case, in the current TV drama market, it is fatal if there is no degree of discussion. As long as there is heat, black and red are also red.
The story of the series cannot break away from the traditional fairy tale routine. On the surface, it talks about various spells and grievances from the three worlds, but in fact it still has to fall on personal emotions. The audience's dissatisfaction with the series also focuses on character creation. The second female lead always takes the blame. The heroine's behavior and thoughts are one way for herself and another for others, and she deliberately creates some misunderstandings. For fans of each character, quarrels are inevitable, especially for the male and female protagonists. It is also relatively weak, and even slightly unreasonable plots will be very conspicuous and cannot be covered up.
But there are not a few audiences for ancient puppets. As long as there are good original works and popular actors, there is a high probability that such dramas will continue to be filmed.

Karen Mok

Not only did they arrange a solo performance right away, but there were also a lot of narration introductions and follow-up records. Karen Mok chose "Suddenly" for his first appearance in Treasure Island Season, which unsurprisingly triggered a chorus of audience.
As for flying guests, Tan Jianci and Wei Li'an joined Zhang Xinzhe's team, Jude and Zhou Xingzhe joined Naying's team. It is worth mentioning that Sangong's selection method is designated by the two captains. This setting makes this part of the reality show lack a lot of highlights.
"Run 11"
Last Friday (April 14), Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Run" Season 11 aired the leading film. In the program, members of the brotherhood and guests gathered in Chengdu, the land of abundance, to start the joyous fantasy journey of this season of "Let's Run". Fan Chengcheng and his brother group had a lot of surprises in their first mission, and the competition in groups to find cultural relics was full of suspense.
"Run 11" stills
If Fan Chengcheng's first meeting task was just a pre-dinner dessert, then the program team's careful setting of the follow-up tasks is like an appetizer. In the deciphering mission of the Jinsha Site Museum, Han Geng helped the team to find out the gold ornaments of the sun god bird first, and also officially opened the first "main course" of this season of "Run" - the prelude to the city chase.
In the program, the two teams that find the gold ornaments of the sun god bird will become the god bird team, and start a speed chase competition with the other team with the whole city as the stage. The fun has just begun. In this week's urban pursuit, which team can come out on top?
"Extreme Challenge 9"
The word-of-mouth of this season is not ideal, especially after the last "old man" Wang Xun withdrew, the show lost its original characteristics. The program team of "Extreme Challenge 9" set the theme of the first issue as "Timeless and Indomitable", obviously not only replacing the old member Wang Xun, but also replacing three new members Huang Xiaoming, Da Zhangwei and Yan Haoxiang , but trying to make adjustments in content, completely different from the previous four seasons.
The first part of the experience challenge is the stand-up show. If the so-called talk show is as interesting as Shen Teng and Jia Ling, and everyone thinks it is very interesting after watching it, then it makes sense, but the talk show in this episode is too embarrassing.
The Men's Gang in "Extreme Challenge" used to be a tacit understanding and mutual support team. Their friendship and interaction became a highlight of the show and won the love of many viewers. So, come on guys this season.
