The big man watching "The Queen Mother", never expected that "The Queen Mother" you are such a Korean drama

My daughter-in-law chatted with me on WeChat: "Recently, "Descendants of the Sun" is very popular, you can take a look."
"What movie, the title of the movie sounds like a stick..."
"Well, a Korean drama."
"A stick shot ." What do you think? If it looks good, I'll take a look. If it doesn't look good, let's not waste a lot of time..."
"Oh, just go and see for yourself! Everyone has their own opinions. , how do you know if you don't see it yourself!" Come
on, this is urgent.
I don't think so, let's go.

For so many years, I opened my mouth and shut my mouth and took a "stick", and there were no black people in the open or secret. It goes on and on, man, when it comes to this neighbor, it always tastes a little sour. When it comes to playing games, we can't beat others. When it comes to football, the "fear of Korea" in men's football is probably an incurable disease. These are considered "national hatred", but the most disturbing thing is "family hatred". In his hand, "The ratio of male to female is imbalanced! 30 million men are afraid of being a bachelor" newspaper, watching the Korean men's groups come to China one after another, harvesting the hearts of thousands of Chinese pink girls like leeks, burning with jealousy. One is that the gas stick is really hateful, and the other is that I hate myself for not having long legs, no muscles, no face, or it will be your turn... So, for men, watching Korean dramas is a bit awkward, even if a straight man has cancer, Stereotyped prejudice is worth mentioning, in short, it can't hold this face.

The two Song Dynasties brought "Descendants of the Sun" to China. Judging from the actors, themes and the 16 episodes that cost 70 million "the highest investment in Korean dramas in history", the queen mother went to you, the star of the year. For a time, the Empress Dowager's popularity exploded, and the praise from all parties was also overwhelming.
Since everyone said it well, it should be quite interesting.


The MV-style lighting
of the Empress Dowager has no artistic level in itself, it is just a choice of artistic style. This kind of lighting can be called the PS of the camera industry. It not only brings a texture similar to a movie, but also hides some unsatisfactory details while being beautiful and soft, improving the overall look and feel. But there are advantages and disadvantages. While this style gives the picture a soft and hazy feeling, some scenes bring a gray and old feeling.

(Is it a sense of sight in a quarry? The friends in Beijing should be very kind to this tone, and it doesn’t


matter if they are not familiar with it. It will soon be the day of the sandstorm.)
The ones are "Disaster", "War", "Medical" and "Love". Just looking at "love", there is nothing to worry about. Koreans play this game very much. It doesn't matter if you are surprised or not, and don't care if there are new ideas. When it comes to weaving a gorgeous pink girl's dream, there is probably no one more ingenious than Koreans.
What about medical + love?
What about war + medical + love?
What about disaster + war + medical + love?
If an ambitious director has the opportunity to make this type of film, he will definitely be overjoyed, but a director who is committed to making romantic romances takes over this kind of film, and it is estimated that several changes have been made by now. Pants. This is also a place that has been criticized by many people. Everyone thinks that it is inappropriate to play this big era background without the ability to shoot enough exciting love. I think that the grand background brought about by such wars and disasters should not be the original intention of the queen mother. It is estimated that the screenwriter just decided to let the screenwriter in all walks of life, even superpowers and aliens have been brought into a relationship. The male protagonist shoulders the mission of a soldier, turns the female protagonist into a goddess with a lantern, and moves the place where love is fermented to Uruk, where the war is clouded and devastated. There is no problem with all of this. The Queen Mother decided to take another step forward in the original model.

Most Korean dramas are female-oriented, and the Queen Mother is no exception. War and disaster are not incompatible with love, but philosophical thinking and extreme choices in the face of life and death are more likely to produce thrilling great love. In the face of war and disaster, can only talk about life and death, blood and sand? of course not. Belarusian female writer Alexievich, as a Nobel Prize winner, has always been the focus of her writing on wars and disasters. She recorded the stories of small and medium-sized people in World War II, the Afghan War, the Chernobyl Accident and many other major events, and found that in the face of wars and disasters, what women talk about most is not death but love.

I don't remember any men in our village after the war. During World War II, 1 in 4 Belarusian men died on the front lines or in guerrilla warfare. Our postwar childhood world was made up of women. What struck me the most was that women were not talking about death, but about love. They talk about how to say goodbye to their lover, how to survive the long wait, and wait till now. Time passed, and they were still waiting: "If he comes back without arms or legs, I'll hold him." No arms, no legs... I seem to have understood what love is since I was a child.

World War II
During the war, I met my husband. At the time I was in a tank team bound for Berlin. I remember the moment we stood near the Reichstag building. He wasn't my husband at the time. He said to me, "Let's get married. I love you." I was so messed up because we've been living in a war full of filth, filth, blood, and all I've heard is obscenity.
I replied, "First make me a woman. Give me flowers and say something sweet to me. When I'm demobilized, I'll make myself a skirt." I was so upset and wanted to hit him. He felt it too. Half of his face was badly burned and scarred, and I saw his tears run down the scars. "Okay, I'll marry you." I said. That's it, I can't believe it, I said that. There is nothing around us except the ruins, only war.

Chernobyl accident
We live near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. I work in a bakery making mince pies. My husband is a firefighter. We just got married and went to the supermarket hand in hand. The day the nuclear reactor exploded, my husband was on duty at the fire station, and they rushed to the scene in civilian clothes and shirts, no special clothing. That's how we live. You know, they spent the night putting out fires at the scene, endured with a lot of nuclear radiation that their bodies couldn't handle. The next morning, they flew directly to Moscow. Severe nuclear radiation sickness, they don't live more than a week.
My husband was an athlete, strong, and he was the last to die. I got to Moscow and they told me he was in a special isolation room that no one was allowed to enter. "But I love him." I begged them. "The soldiers are taking care of them. "Where are you going?" ""I love him. "They quarreled with me: "He's not the one you love anymore. He's an object that needs to be sterilized, understand? "I said to myself over and over again: "I love, I love..."
At night, I climbed the fire stairs to see him, or I called the night shift person and bribed them to let me in. I didn't abandon him, I accompany him In the end.
How can love be destroyed? Why are love and death so close? They always come and go together, who can explain? I knelt at the grave...

The Queen Mother's problem is that she has already taken this step, However, they are still using secular methods, standards and goals to shape the love that should be refined.
Korean dramas are idol dramas that have always been about love. The most important thing for screenwriters and directors is to shape a pair of male and female protagonists to satisfy the audience, especially It is the fantasy of young female audiences for a perfect partner and great love. So, with the domineering and cold president standing in front of him, the gentle big brother next door, and the sullen superpower alien, Captain Liu pushed aside the crowd and came to the front of the stage. Liu Shizhen is such a man ,
domineering, determined, stern, rational, he will never look back when he says go, but he should also be such a man, humorous, warm, tender, cute, playful, occasionally shy, with It's a bit wilted, and if you want to leave, you still have a good girl.
Such a perfect man, he must be as firm as a mountain, showing the unique "roughness" of a soldier, and at the same time, like the cool and playful summer breeze that lifts up the bottom of a beautiful woman's skirt, showing a "saucy" that is billowing red dust ".

The mountain wind is "Lan". "Lan" means the mist in the mountains, hazy and ethereal, with no real shape.

Liu Shizhen is like this, Jiang Muyan is also like this. In order to meet the needs of the market, we need male and female protagonists who are one position ahead of other Korean dramas. The perfect hero and heroine brings infinite narrative possibilities, but also brings extremely heavy narrative tasks. It is necessary to know that every label on the hero and heroine needs to be fulfilled by the plot, not to mention that the drama itself has plans to describe wars and disasters. There are also two men, two women, two villains, and a bunch of passers-by A, a soldier, a rogue, a rogue, a bandit, a group of passers-by that you can’t remember, and a modern SUV in various colors and a Samsung mobile phone with a waterproof performance comparable to that of a submarine, and Countless slow-motion turns, looking back, looking at each other affectionately, hesitating to say anything, there are also large sections of true confessions, and... all kinds of things. When the director and screenwriter use abrupt, fragmented, and dispensable plots to honor these labels, you will find that these colorful labels not only conflict with each other, but also can no longer see the original appearance of the character.
When our beloved Captain Liu made a large speech about the sense of mission and honor of a soldier reflected in the uniform, who was Captain Liu who repeatedly violated military discipline?
Silent, watching his lover turn and leave, is the elder brother Yumu Bingbing still my "girl harvester" who flirts with girls? Didn't you bring the flirting skill pack when you went out?
When our doctor Jiang was at a loss for minutes and his IQ dropped, the one who resolutely knocked off the heels of his high-heeled shoes, the one who had no background, faced the suppression of powerful women, and relied on his own efforts to become a distinguished professor in his thirties. Who is Hua Tuo?
who is it? who is it? who is it? Is it Liu Shizhen? Is it Jiang Muyan?
No, there is no Liu Shizhen, no Jiang Muyan, only Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo.
Who is Yoo Shi-jin? Who is Jiang Muyan? I don't know, there are too many labels, I can't see the face, and I can't smell the human flavor.


Rhythm
Any problematic film and television works cannot escape the comment of "poor rhythm", so what exactly is "rhythm"?
We are not professional film critics, nor have we learned relevant knowledge. From the perspective of an audience, I think "rhythm" is the integrity and logic of the narrative.
In this way, the queen mother's rhythm problem is almost inevitable. Because the market demand for perfect and complex characters and good rhythm itself have irreconcilable contradictions. The character design is inherently flawed in logic, and the heavy narrative pressure it brings will inevitably affect the integrity of the narrative.
Narrative is storytelling, just like writing, no matter what the structure and technique are, the necessary "inheritance and transition" is always indispensable. Korean dramas have always been about love as the central idea. "The beginning, the process, the turning point, and the end" should correspond to acquaintance, mutual acquaintance, contradiction and conflict. By solving contradictions, love is sublimated and true hand in hand. Perhaps due to the pressure of heavy narrative tasks, the director and screenwriter decided to speed up, so there was this 14-minute scene in the first episode


A very, very old Korean drama routine, aggressive and casual, with later Captain Liu bowed his head in an intoxicated state, which did not make people feel heartbroken, but made people feel embarrassed. This embarrassment stems from the fact that this ancient routine is compared with the current increasing level of the film and television industry and the sense of disobedience accumulated by Korean dramas in love idol dramas for decades. I think the red line is quite reasonable. Then there is another old bridge where the male and female protagonists are successfully paired after the misunderstanding is clarified.
In the second episode, the director and the screenwriter stepped on the accelerator again. After a takeaway meal and two pigeons, our Captain Liu and Dr. Jiang sat in the cafe. The two negotiated about their professional beliefs and exchanged In the end, after Dr. Jiang's remarks, "I am so tired and busy trying to save prostitution every day, you little boy sneaks out and prostitutes without telling my mother every day. Announcement is temporarily broken, at this point the second episode has just come 30 minutes...
I'm in shock....

Imagine that one day you are happily walking on the road, and you are slapped on the ground by a brick faced by a stranger. You will definitely ask: "Why!?"
Yes, why?
The foundation is weak, there is no process of getting to know each other, and the specific trigger point of the conflict cannot be found. The director and the screenwriter cut in from the most bizarre angle to create conflict. And the time that should have been used to pave the way was divided into several scattered parts, describing Captain Liu's heroic appearance on the battlefield, describing Doctor Jiang and the powerful women fighting each other, and finally relying on their own efforts to counterattack, and these bridges that honor the label Duan doesn't do much for the narrative other than diluting the plot.
Due to the lack of foreshadowing and process, the relationship between Liu Jiang and Jiang was a bit "unjustifiable", and the director and screenwriter had to use external forces to create conflicts, as the so-called "power to create miracles". After the separation, it is natural to meet again. Dr. Jiang smashed the chairman with a bag that did not match his professional growth experience, in exchange for a ticket to Uruk. After being estranged, a politician's emergency brought them together again, and then Captain Liu was punished, and the two began to get along awkwardly again, then fell off a cliff, then an earthquake, and then a plague, and then again Then the villain acts...

The "turn" that should be used to create the climax of the plot is used to carry the role of "playing" and "bearing", so the insufficient expression of the climax of the plot is inevitable. The love between Liu Jiang and the two is like boiling water on a plateau, how much fire is less than 100 degrees, far from achieving the desired effect.
"When the climax of the plot is not reached or the expression is insufficient, use the emotional climax instead" This sentence is too right, and the Queen Mother does the same. The male and female protagonists began to kiss passionately, creating scenes such as choosing one of the two during the earthquake rescue, handing out lunch boxes to the supporting characters, and starting to induce tears and sensational feelings. The relationship between the two men and the two women began to advance. Some supporting characters, such as Li Zhixun, began to think about life, and the 9th episode actually appeared insane. The drama of "Four Kisses"... More and more additional plots further split the integrity of the entire love story. The emotional scene between Liu Jiang and the two was split into a two-person turn. Without support and linkage, the sense of unreality is even greater. very. A love story was divided into existences similar to tourist attractions. The director turned into a tour guide and pulled a car of audiences: "This cliff, Dr. Jiang's car was in this accident, Captain Liu rushed to the rescue in time, and the two fell down the cliff hand in hand. Let's get off the bus and visit." ...
Lao Guo said in his cross talk: "Everyone thinks it's easy to talk about cross talk. Two people stand on the stage, each of them opens their mouths and opens their mouths to talk. In fact, it's hard to talk about cross talk. , we are different from sketches and film and television dramas, we do not have all kinds of props and sets, we can only rely on our mouth to speak, use language to build a preset situation, and bring the audience to our story step by step." Although the expressions of film and television dramas are different Compared with cross talk, but the pursuit of the same effect - "bring the audience to our story". From the beginning to the end, let the audience integrate into the story and follow closely behind the characters in the play. All the characters naturally come to a point because of a complete and smooth story, which triggers the climax of the plot and then brings the emotional climax. The audience's emotions come from their hearts , empathy, this is a good rhythm.


The actor
is still said in Lao Guo's cross talk: "Like those of us who talk about cross talk, those who sing Peking opera and act in movies are generally engaged in art, and those who are a little famous and successful can be divided into two types. One is 'wrist' and the other is 'horn'. What is 'wrist'? 'wrist' refers to popularity. It is not difficult to become a wrist these days, put your work on the Internet, pay some money to a marketing company, Naturally, there will be a large group of Internet celebrities with names and V to come to support you. 'Jiao' refers to the level of business. With its own performance, it can retain a large number of audiences. The troupe points to you and can sell tickets and support a large group of people. people."
First of all, congratulations to Song Joong Ki, now he is a 'wrist'. Returning from military service is a very important time for Korean actors. If he can produce works that have a wide range of influence, he can continue his acting career. Song Zhongji is very lucky. And gorgeously returned to the audience's field of vision. But he is unfortunate, unfortunately, he was born in Korea. Although there are many actors in our country, actors are still a scarce resource compared to the huge population base. Qualified actors have high status and treatment. Song Zhongji's style can be mixed with pink girls' hearts. rise. Our neighbor South Korea has a developed entertainment industry, and a sound training mechanism can provide producers with a large number of trainees every year. When actors are no longer scarce, producers will turn to customers and actors will become consumables. After Xingyou's fire, the popular Professor Du received a lot of messy advertising endorsements, just to fight for the right to choose the script for himself, Song Zhongji also inevitably took this road.
Back to the Queen Mother's drama, is Song Zhongji's Liu Captain any good? I think it's better to discuss whether the role is suitable or not instead of discussing whether it is good or not. Song Joong Ki can't play a soldier? Obviously not. He has just finished military service and has muscles with clear lines. It is no problem to play a soldier. The downside is that the setting of the role of "Liu Shizhen" is too high. A family of soldiers, who joined the army very early and entered the army, the rank of captain (in the play, he is already a major), the captain of the special forces, often performs high-risk special tasks, and survived after being imprisoned and abused, the elite of the elite, the soldier of the military , but Song Ouba's own temperament and the "childish face" can't hold such a setting, but the male second male with an abstinence poker face of Bingshan is closer to Liu Shizhen in image. Coupled with the body language and various flirting plots prepared by the director in order to please the female audience, Song Zhongji in that military uniform and the setting of "Captain Liu", no matter how handsome he is, he feels disobedient, which is why many netizens Said "strong pretence is visual sense", because this kind of "handsome" taste is not right.

(The sitting posture of Song Zhongji in the picture is the portrayal of the whole drama. Meeting important political leaders of other countries, even if Song Zhongji attends as a savior, such a casual sitting posture is not allowed, and it is not a soldier's responsibility at all. Some body language. This posture may be simply because the director thinks it is more handsome. Compared with Song Joong Ki, Song Hye Kyo next to him is very upright)

Next is Song Hye Kyo. Yan's words (not as good-looking as my wife), radish and green vegetables are all favorites, and the acting skills also depend on each person's taste. What I care more about is Song Hye Kyo's facial expressions.


The next Song Hye Kyo also contributed several such performances, and was misunderstood by Captain Liu to think that he had stepped on a landmine, a car accident on a cliff, and so on.
Maybe this has something to do with the unique speaking habits and facial expressions of Koreans, but Song Hye Kyo, as a well-known 35-year-old actress, has nothing to do with her acting skills, not to mention the character set by Jiang Muyan in the play. The sense of violation makes people feel surprised and play. In the film and television works I have seen, Song Hye Kyo's best performance may be the Mrs. Ip Man in "The Grandmaster".

As for whether Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo's "Ryu Shi Jin" and "Jiang Mo Yan" were not vivid, whether they succeeded or not, they each have their own opinions and preferences. A relatively simple and rude method is to see how many shadows of the characters in the play can be seen when you see an actor for a period of time after watching a film and television work, or even a long period of time. Can you think of Mei Changsu when you see Hu Ge? Is Sun Li still that Zhen Huan? How many connections are there between Tony Leung and Chen Yongren? When you see Feng Xiaogang, do you see Director Feng, or the sixth master who sticks to the "rules"? Teacher Feng Yuanzheng cried like a tearful man in the distance. Is it wrong for me to act well? It's been so many years, if it's a domestic violence or a pervert, just put my stills up and drag me along... How many shadows of Liu Shizhen and Jiang Muyan can you see when you see the Song Dynasty?

What else is CP that is not CP? Wash and sleep. Although Song Zhongji has obvious wrinkles on his forehead, he has a baby face. Although Song Hye Kyo has good skin care, his face is full of fatigue. If you insist on CP, you may have to run to teachers and students. The way of love has gone.

(Song Hye Kyo: "Why are you playing with your phone in class?!") What are the


details
? The details are the self-cultivation of the crew.

(The Alpha team members actually kicked the door with their hands instead of their feet. How can they raise their guns and shoot at the first time when they encounter an enemy)

(The director also fought for the love scene, and the black uncle on the opposite side is brokenhearted , It's so disrespectful, I swear I really want to shoot your head off)

(Don't press the chest like this, it will delay saving people. Why did Captain Liu do this? Maybe Song Zhongji said that I also want to, but the director does not let you press down.)
The above three pictures are the portrayal of the military and medical details of the whole drama. I believe that many soldiers and doctors will be very uncomfortable after watching it. The Empress Dowager is a love idol drama. Using the realistic level of a documentary to demand the details of an idol drama is itself nitpicking. The audience should allow some details not to be taken care of, but some details cannot be ignored.

(The second male confiscated everyone's dog tags, saying that in case of sacrifice in the mission, no identity can be left, and then a huge Tai Chi flag appeared)

(During the rescue mission, our team members fell into the enemy's trap, but there was a net underneath... The terrorists who filmed beheading videos and spread terrorism around the world actually prepared such a gentle trap. Without modesty, Now Big Big Wolf will not use this kind of trap to catch Pleasant Goat)


(The director and the screenwriter can play, I’m convinced, and I’m convinced)
If those military and medical details were really caused by powerlessness, then these bugs are probably not half-hearted problems but the director’s Do you have any issues with taking your medicine on time with the screenwriter?
These days, people have become unkind, or they are always saying "less routine, more sincerity". So what is sincerity? Sometimes, sincerely, a bunch of plum blossoms is enough.



Others
1. Preaching. There are many sensational places in the queen mother, but the effect is not ideal. Expressing feelings often gives people the feeling of posturing and preaching. This is the disadvantage of forcing emotional climax without plot climax. In "Old Pao'er", the sixth master is an old and dangerous young man, and the "rules" he believes in are not accepted by today's society, so why can he confidently say "this is called a rule!"? Because there are several characters and a complete story behind these four words. Telling the story well is really important.

2. Marketing. "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys" has long been useless. It doesn't matter how good something is, if you want to sell well, you have to drink it hard. But just like cooking, the stove is so hot that the oil is burning and smoking.
3. The male two female two looks more comfortable than the male and female protagonists, but the typical Korean drama male and female protagonist setting obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of the director and screenwriter.
4. Don't watch it if you don't like it, go watch your domestic anti-Japanese drama? "The most invested Korean drama in history", overseas shooting, the Song Dynasty, and huge propaganda, is this how you compare with the domestic anti-Japanese drama? It's a bit promising, and some plots are no different from the anti-Japanese drama.

5. Why are you so serious about watching a drama? A bitch is hypocritical.
Countless anti-Japanese drama directors cried to tears: "Yes, why are you so serious! You audience members are ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable." I am willing to be such a "slut", and I hope that " "There are more and more sluts," because only when the audience's taste changes can film and television drama practitioners make great efforts to improve their own business level, and then excellent works can continue to emerge. These days, you go to eat noodles, if you can eat salt water noodles With
relish , the owner of the noodle restaurant will not even sprinkle chopped green onion for you.
7. This is probably the most drama I've ever watched, sitting in the car chatting...and the stuff they put in their mouths and keep sucking like a stick of instant coffee . What ?
