I haven't waited for anything imaginative to appear.
The only thing that looks good at the moment is that there is no current American drama that can be more conventional than this...
I am entangled in whether it is for the body of the hero and the costume of the heroine. And continue to chase>_<
The plot of Legend of the Seeker is so simple that all the characters seem to be a little low-powered. Almost every plot is what we have seen in the movies and televisions of the last century~~~
You can guess how the plot will develop and how the plot you just missed will develop without using your brain. There is a lot of time to focus on the female protagonist's chest and male pose. In addition, the scenery is still good. Sometimes the soundtrack does have the feeling of the Lord of the Rings. The movements are also good, if there are not so many slow motions. The wizard's casting is very successful, and the performance is not as successful as the appearance~~~
But this may be an example of /audience needs/. The key word is, American audience, couch potatoes.
================================================== ======================== It
is necessary to transfer some information. First of all, this is a fresh play by Syndication.
"The United Cable Network is a television network jointly funded by major television media in the United States. Each television company has branch TV stations in the network. These branch TV stations mainly provide local TV services or broadcast classic old dramas. For example, it is currently hot The broadcast of "Seinfield" (Song Fei Zheng Chuan) is provided by NBC, "Two And A Half Men" is provided by WB, etc. Sometimes, certain TV companies will also provide some original TV programs for the network. For example. "Legend of the Explorer" is a program filmed by ABC Television and exclusively broadcast on the network.
The joint cable network covers 99% of the population of the United States and is called a dedicated public channel for the poor. Although the budget of the United Cable Network is lower than that of the public broadcasting network, they can guarantee the integrity of the series and will never cut off a 22-episode TV series. Under these conditions, the screenwriter can be confident and bold to strengthen the story, and even have a long-term plan ---------- This is crucial for a fantasy TV series whose role-driven and plot-driven are equally important. important.

To be honest, I can’t read it after reading a few paragraphs. The original book is not very attractive. It's just that the characters are fuller, and due to the advantages of the novel, the inner changes are credible.
Almost all the advantages in the novel have been adapted. In order to speed up the rhythm, the series introduces continuous action scenes, discarding the step-by-step paragraphs and details, and let the characters rush forward. The main character keeps getting into trouble or making trouble, and then quickly solves the trouble, no matter whether it is worth it or not, it seems very brainless.

I want to add that
the production company of this drama is Disney's ABC Studios, so I can understand why the plot is so mentally handicapped. You can look at it as a children's film. This is also one of their most mature and best styles~~~ The
other is for the consumer group of the United Cable Network. It must take care of the low age, the masses, and the multi-level. There are some taboos, and also take into account those who do not have a good impression of personality TV series. audience.
At the same time, this is not a big production, even though it was shot in New Zealand, the style is in line with the Lord of the Rings. But, according to the New York Times, you have to imagine that this is a (much) lower cost, with fewer rings. The budget for each episode is approximately $1.5 million.
Therefore, it can be said that "Legend of the Explorer" maintains the level that a traditional fantasy drama should have, just like those dramas in the magical heyday of the 90s (such as The Legend of Valkyrie, Xina, Conan, and Sinbad). All the elements, sensationality, and smelly and long-lasting essence that audiences are passionate about.
Such a play can be regarded as a speculation with little risk by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. Because traditional magic dramas have almost never appeared on the screen for nearly a decade, the producers have spotted this blank space. "Legend of the Explorer" returns with those mediocre but familiar elements and is adapted from a best-selling work with a reader base. Creativity is not the most important thing, the purpose is to arouse the audience's enthusiasm for a type of drama. And there are many American audiences who "need" this kind of cliché simply because of nostalgia.
I believe that before making this drama, ABC has done enough market research.
The president of ABC Studios said: If we succeed this time, we may revive this type of drama.
It seems that the ratings have reached expectations.
Sam Raimi's taste may be unreliable, but his business vision has always been worth studying.
When looking at a boring, boring plot to the extreme from the previous perspective, considering from another aspect, this boring may be motivated.
