On November 2, the latest issue of Teacher Li Chengru's "Drama Confucian Life" was launched. In this issue, teacher Li Chengru chatted with everyone about the content of military dramas in recent years. In this show, Li Lao began to worry about some of the deformed aesthetics of the film and television circle in recent years, especially the problem of excessive "motherhood" of some male characters.
Teacher Li Chengru took the movie "Shangganling" as an example, telling the audience that the actors of that year were also wearing makeup, but this kind of dressing was not good to look at, to the real, so that the audience and fans felt that the actors were soldiers who came down from the battlefield. At present, some film and television drama works always like to give the stars a good look and a false appearance, so that the audience and fans feel that these characters are not like those who have been on the battlefield at all.
Subsequently, Elder Li raised the problem of "motherhood" in the film and television circle, and worried that in our film and television drama works over the years, we rarely portray heroic roles, but more began to pay attention to some very "motherly" roles. The male protagonists in film and television drama works began to lack masculinity, and more importantly, it was a transitional charm and gentleness. Here, there must be a strange phenomenon hidden in the film and television circle.
In the creation of our film and television dramas, the earliest problem of the "mother" of the male protagonist began about ten years ago. After the new millennium, China's film and television drama market began to rise. Subsequently, in our film and television entertainment market, there is a very good blue ocean situation. Under this situation, our film and television drama production and entertainment content production cannot keep up with market demand. Therefore, a large number of Korean dramas and Korean entertainment have poured in. The problem of the male protagonist's "mother" began from Korean dramas.
In our TV drama works of that year, men have their own unique temperament, women also have their own femininity, and the temperament of the two sexes is very clear. However, in the Korean drama works that flood the love drama, a large number of male protagonists are portrayed as gentle models, especially the care for women, the preservation of love, etc., which are more delicate than women. Such a male protagonist image was very popular at that time. This is also one of the important reasons why Korean love dramas are so popular in China.
In this batch of Korean dramas, the male protagonists have put on makeup, especially heavy makeup, to present their "beautiful and beautiful" side. This image is of course different from our previous rough guy image. With the popularity of Korean dramas, a large number of domestic dramas have also begun to learn the routines of Korean idol dramas, so that the male protagonist is "beautiful and beautiful", and even let the male protagonist bring a variety of female temperament. Moreover, some of the domestic dramas that were first done this did indeed become the ratings explosion and the explosion on the network broadcast that year. However, the negative voice of the year on the drama review article, did not keep up. Or rather, these voices, people whisper softly.
As this trend continues to prevail, the TV drama works that have finally been brewed are not just as simple as the "mother" of the male protagonist. In the past two or three years, many so-called blockbuster TV series have begun to appear in the works of the two male protagonists, and what is even more puzzling is that in such works, between the two male protagonists, there will be scenes beyond the brotherhood. This is typical of the "mother" to the end. And this kind of putrid scene has actually launched a lot of traffic male stars. This deformed aesthetic, in the earliest days, critics did not dare to criticize.
Why don't you dare to criticize? The reason is also very simple, teacher Li Chengru also talked about it in "Drama Confucian Life": it may be attacked by the Internet. Teacher Li Chengru believes that he has not been hacked by the Internet for criticizing traffic stars. And a large number of film critics and drama critics who dare to speak are not so lucky. Many drama review articles that dare to criticize this sour rot phenomenon are often reported by fan groups. And these fans, whether they are real fans or fake accounts, it is a matter of opinion.
It is equivalent to saying that some film and television drama practitioners are creating this kind of "motherly" content, feeding our specific audiences at a fixed point, and deliberately cultivating this group of audiences into fans of traffic stars, and then using this group of so-called fans to make waves. The trend of "motherhood", the film and television dramas in which the two male protagonists exceed brotherhood, the manufacture of traffic stars, etc., come together. These things are just a cat and tiger for Han Yu.
Fortunately, with the increasing maturity of the audience, such film and television drama works have lost the market. Moreover, as the audience becomes more rational, the criticism of this batch of film and television dramas can also be issued normally, and it will not encounter the message insults of the so-called fan-type accounts. In film and television drama works, men and women do not exist in opposition, everyone has responsibilities and obligations in their own gender characteristics, male protagonists do not have to rely on the pursuit of feminization, women, do not have to become men, in the heavy physical work to prove themselves.
