Recently, the Hong Kong drama "News Queen" has sparked heated discussions in the mainland, and the drama has not only achieved popular results in Hong Kong and Macao, but also gained a lot of attention in the mainland. Literary critic Tan Fei and actor Li Xingwen discussed the reasons for the success of "The Queen of News" and the performance of Hong Kong dramas in the mainland market in a conversation. This dialogue involves multiple aspects such as aesthetics, cultural integration, and the impact of censorship levels on the work, which is worthy of in-depth consideration.
First of all, talking about the success of "News Queen", the two guests mentioned the ingenuity of the production unit in the production of the series. The show is not only compact and interesting in terms of plot setting, but also has a lot of depth in character creation, which provides the audience with a fascinating story world.
In addition, the background of the news industry involved in the play is close to current affairs and has resonated with the audience. The success of Hong Kong dramas in the mainland market is undoubtedly one of the key factors.
Secondly, Tan Fei and Li Xingwen analyzed the popularity of Hong Kong dramas in the mainland from the perspective of cultural integration. Hong Kong opera has always had a unique cultural atmosphere and artistic style, and this difference from mainland culture makes Hong Kong opera a fresh cultural experience.
Through Hong Kong dramas, audiences can not only enjoy different film and television works, but also understand Hong Kong's unique lifestyle and social features. This cultural integration not only satisfies the audience's curiosity about foreign cultures, but also builds a bridge for the exchange of cultures between the two places.
Talking about the impact of censorship levels on the work, the two guests mentioned the handling of some sensitive topics in the play. In the mainland market, because of the existence of censorship, some subjects involving politics and history are often subject to certain restrictions. However, through the portrayal of the news industry, "News Queen" indirectly touches on social phenomena and cleverly avoids some sensitive topics, so that the series can not only provoke thinking in terms of content, but also do not touch the bottom line, providing a viewing experience that is both deep and acceptable to the audience.
In their comments on "I Am a Mountain", the two guests emphasized the importance of fair and professional criticism of literary and artistic works. In a world where social media is flooded with casual audience comments, the role of the professional critic is even more important. Through professional vision and in-depth thinking, they provide the audience with a more comprehensive and profound interpretation, which helps to guide the audience to better understand and appreciate the work.
Finally, Tan Fei and Li Xingwen also mentioned the phenomenon of the audience evaluating before watching. This phenomenon is becoming more and more common in the current age of social media, where viewers often express their opinions through online comments without really understanding the content of the work. This phenomenon may lead to some works being too disturbed by public opinion, and the subjective expectations of the audience may also have a certain bias against the works. Li Xingwen vividly expressed his inability to express a clear opinion on this, which also reflects the complexity and multifaceted nature of this phenomenon.
On the whole, the success of the Hong Kong drama "The Queen of News" in the mainland market is not accidental, but a combination of factors. From the level of production, cultural integration, handling of the censorship level to professional criticism, all affect the audience's acceptance of a work. This conversation provides us with an opportunity to think deeply about the reasons behind the popularity of film and television works, and also provokes in-depth thinking about the relationship between audience reviews and professional reviews, cultural differences and integration, and other issues.
