Of course, no matter how much similarities and differences exist between the two series, the core of the story only revolves around one theme, friendship. "FRIENDS" and "WILL&GRACE" at the most glorious moments of the series have been telling stories about the friendship between these urban men and women. The series at this stage are also the best, and the characters are full of humorous and funny. So before MONICA proposes to CHANDLER, GRACE and LEO get married, because there is no such thing as love, a sticky and greasy element that is easy to pass through soap operas. The two dramas deal with all kinds of things that may happen in the daily life of friends who live with them. The chemistry has done a lot of funny articles, and countless classic single episode plots have been produced at this stage. However, as the series are broadcast more and more, the screenwriters write more and more, and the standards of the two series will drop without exception in the later period, especially as the characters in the drama gradually grow older, they will inevitably talk about marriage. After the original basic character setting relationship is broken, the audience will have a feeling of resistance. For example, "FRIENDS" was originally a small circle of six people, and "WILL&GRACE" was a small circle of four people, but with the individual emotional experience, This circle is broken without exception and new individuals are added, and the newly added individuals are without exception being with a certain protagonist. They are too tired and crooked, and naturally there will be no overall actions that they started. The newly added characters are not easy for the audience to accept, and the screenwriters themselves cannot destroy the original 6 or 4 settings, resulting in the fact that the new characters are rarely outstanding and become tasteless.
The boringness of the later plot trend is particularly obvious in "FRIENDS". With the six protagonists marrying women and becoming husbands, the plot has completely lost the vitality of the initial creative explosion, especially in "FRIENDS", which was originally the end of the eighth season. The two seasons that were dragged out after 9/11 are even more old-fashioned. They have completely lost the vitality and passion of the early days. The characteristics of comedy are gradually fading, and the characteristics of family dramas have gradually emerged. I am afraid that this is also "FRIENDS" "One of the reasons why the movie version has not been put on the agenda, because it is always young people who can toss, you let a group of people with an average age of nearly 40 who should be family and children ridden with mundane things continue to be like young people on the big screen Just as stupid, this entry point is obviously not wise. In contrast, "WILL&GRACE" did not arrange the GAY RELATIONSHIP main line for the actor due to the large number of people who are prone to be stupid in the seemingly open but conservative American audience. However, the emotional line was added in the later stage, which effectively suppressed the trend of the series style to move closer to the family drama. In addition, "WILL&GRACE" was originally a comedy that relies on lines and performances to win. Compared with "FRIENDS", its language and laughter density are very high, which makes it easy for people to ignore the plot itself and the relationship between gay men and straight women. The extraordinary relationship of "WILL&GRACE" makes "WILL&GRACE" full of more interesting points to explore. Therefore, the feeling line of the two protagonists is increased in the later stage of the series. The male protagonist has a fixed line of feelings only in the penultimate season. , And the emotional lines of the two protagonists are not too fanciful, and the screenwriter of this play is obviously not good at dealing with this emotional line, so the development of the feelings is also collected in the later stage and quickly brought to the end of the whole play.
"FRIENDS" gives people a soothing feeling, smile, the plot is spread slowly, not rushing; "WILL&GRACE" gives people the feeling of being very HIGH, high density, and bombarding the audience on a large scale. The laughs are intensive and the performance is exaggerated. So technically, "WILL&GRACE" is better than "FRIENDS", which is why the former surpassed the latter in the technical award Emmy Awards. Of course, it is undeniable that the spicy lines of "WILL&GRACE" are in line with the appetite of the Emmy Awards. At the same time, without good subtitles, you can’t understand "WILL&
When it comes to "FRIENDS" and "WILL&GRACE", one cannot fail to mention our country's fake old friend drama, "Love Apartment". Compared with the American TV series, "The Apartment of Love" really doesn't have any shoes for shoes. This drama says it's good to imitate or plagiarize. The same sections of the TV show are everywhere, and the actors perform. It can only be said to be qualified, "Love Apartment 1" has a messy style, and only the first 10 episodes can be called wonderful. But even if "Love Apartment" has such shortcomings and shortcomings, it cannot easily obliterate the great significance of the appearance of "Love Apartment" to domestic TV dramas. In today’s domestic TV drama market, mistress dramas, mother-in-law dramas, spy war dramas, blowout family dramas, and inferior idol dramas are flooded. The main viewers of the domestic TV drama market are housewives over 30 years old and Xiao Luo under 20 years old. Li, in the past few years, there has been almost no drama that looks decent for young people and reflects young people. Almost all the audiences in our country are concentrated on the Internet. On the other hand, there are various dramas aimed at young people abroad. Episodes and programs, which are obviously detrimental to the development of Chinese TV dramas. The appearance of "Love Apartment" has undoubtedly filled the vacuum of domestic TV dramas a little bit. Even though this TV series has countless fatal wounds that make people complain about it, the meaning of "Love Apartment" is far more than a plagiarized domestic production. The drama is so simple. Without the appearance of "Love Apartment", our TV screen would still be an endless drama of kimchi tears. Fake ads. Besides, you have to be serious. It is unfair to compare the "Love Apartment" to American dramas. It is not fair to compare the scripts of "FRIENDS" and "WILL&GRACE" to more than 20 screenwriters, and then the actors will read them aloud. Finally, the audience's reaction will be revised on the spot. This production process, as well as the nearly million-dollar remuneration of the actors of the two dramas, are not only incomparable to the small production of "Love Apartment," and even no domestic drama can.
Another aspect of domestic dramas that are inferior to American dramas is that the system is very imperfect, especially the fatal problem of changing roles in one season. "Love Apartment 2" not only changed the roles, but also changed three. Compared with "Love Apartment 1", 2’s regression is very obvious. It is not only that the three newly added actors did not integrate well into the series, but the level of performance of the three old roles has dropped drastically, but also that the script does not assign roles to the scenes. In addition to the problem of Jun, even the basic funny is more than enough, not to mention the whole drama is so horrible and hard to put in it.
There is no need to say that "Love Apartment 2" is not funny enough, after all, innovation is the biggest weakness of the production team of this drama. A very obvious problem in Love 2 is the uneven distribution of actors' roles. Looking at the overall situation, Tang Youyou's role is far more than the others. Hu Yifei, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Lu Ziqiao are three outstanding characters in Love 1. When it comes to Love 2. Almost nothing has become a green leaf. As for the two new roles, Zhang Wei has a good role, but the problem is that the actors always have to act in the Qiong Yao drama version of the performance method, no matter how hard they speak or perform, there is a sign of Ma Jingtao's possession; As for Qin Yumo, this role is the least of all the actors. Although the actor's acting skills are good, there is no room for performance without a drama, and it cannot leave an impression on the audience.
Group plays like "FRIENDS" and "WILL&GRACE" are distinguished by the various wonderful reactions of the protagonists as a whole when the individuals collide with each other. We must not favor one another, and there will never be any imagination of uneven scenes in "FRIENDS" and "WILL&GRACE" , The role of each character in each episode is not much different, so that the story is easy to stand out, and it is easy to maintain the whole. However, Love 2 made this very big mistake. Not to mention changing roles, there are still big problems in the distribution of the roles between the roles. Unless the director is going to continue to change actors in Love 3, protecting the sense of existence of each role is The director's urgent need to solve.
Regardless of "FRIENDS", "WILL&
