As American dramas are popular (overwhelming) today, FOX restarts 24 hours without much suspense, but it also bears huge risks. How to bring old fans back and attract new audiences is the top priority of this drama, so FOX has a problem. The series of actions: The
first is to shorten 24 hours to 12 hours. Regarding this, as a die-hard fan, you may feel regretful and puzzled, but due to ratings and cost considerations, the producer cannot know whether shooting 24 episodes will keep the audience until the end of the season. It is for this reason that FOX did not say that this season is an orthodox sequel (officially called "Fanwai"), and there is no trace during the promotion that the show is the ninth season of 24. The intention to test the waters is very obvious. Because of this, I will pay close attention to his ratings when each episode is broadcast, hoping that he will be as high as possible.
Again, the branch line is too simple, and the relationship between the characters is not as complicated as in previous seasons. As 24 iron fans, I don’t know if they have noticed that, as a 24-hour practice in the past, everyone in the play is doubtful. When I return to this season, I always feel that sometimes, the setting of some characters must be reversed or Because of him, the branch line was reborn, but there was no. Although the overall main line is clear and the plot is compact, the branch line is too simple, and the characters are not complicated and intertwined in previous seasons. Analyze the reasons. One is that due to the shortening of the series, the screenwriter can only streamline all the branches and plots without affecting the excitement. The other is that they may be afraid that new audiences will not adapt to the interweaving of many branches and can only make the last episode. The dust settled, the unique "forever unexpected" style of abuse, of course, the eighth episode of the president's bombardment has already made many new viewers unbearable.
Finally, let’s talk about how far can Bao Xiaoqiang go in 24 hours. Oh, it should be said here, how far can Bao Xiaoqiang go? When I saw the close-up of his facial expression in the first episode of the new season, I realized that Xiaoqiang is old, and although he is still wise and agile, the most difficult thing for an episode is to maintain the character’s unique style and soul. , I believe that no one can come out of Kiefer, especially for this kind of drama that relies on the charm of actors to conquer the audience. The 007 series must constantly change actors to ensure that the characters are always new, because it is a movie, and there is relatively no connection problem between the front and the back. The characters are not gradually full and deeply rooted after several seasons of baptism like a TV series. Even if you think that Connery or Brosnan are suitable to play Bond, there is no way to bring them back to play. Of course, this series of movies is also because of this, every star will always attract a lot of comments. And attention. Look at the Harry Potter series, the typical negative textbooks. As the protagonists grow older, they have basically turned from a magical film suitable for all ages to an adult-oriented science fiction film. This is why Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf cannot The reason for growing up. The topic is too far away. As to whether Bao Xiaoqiang can accompany us for a few more years, the answer can only be given at the end of the season. A role that can compete with Bao Xiaoqiang in all aspects, KATE. At present, she should not be the villain, but as for her final outcome, we can only wait and see. The law that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers has always existed in American TV dramas. Bao Xiaoqiang continues his anti-terrorism road, or KATE takes the initiative. I believe FOX will give the answer at the end of the new season.
There is a question. By the way, the English name of the new season has been translated as "live another day" in China. Could it be said that this day is Xiaoqiang's last day? I don't want the screenwriter to end with Xiaoqiang's sacrifice. If the protagonist of the next season is changed from Xiaoqiang to KATE, this is indeed Xiaoqiang's life for another day, but if Xiaoqiang is still the protagonist of 24, I would rather everyone translate him as "born another day"!
