Short drama red black list

短劇行業正在經歷高速發展期，一方面行業競爭加劇，每月有兩千部以上新劇產出，爆款題材以周更迭。另一方面，短劇行業也亂象頻出，正在迎來關鍵的轉型期。

Which short dramas are innovative and worthy of reference by the industry? What short dramas have touched the red line of the industry? Entertainment Capital has specially launched a weekly short drama red and black list column to dismantle the latest short dramas in a timely manner and bring the latest trends in short dramas inside and outside the industry.

In 3 years and 0 months, the double dark horse of the short drama market "Escape from the Famine, My Whole Family is Reborn" and "You Are a Human Trafficker, But I am a Praying Mantis Essence" detonated traffic at the same time. The former subverts the traditional rebirth routine with "family rebirth + special forces heroine", and the latter uses "praying mantis essence anti-abduction agent" to pierce the pain points of reality, and verifies the explosive logic of "the more crazy the more true" with completely different crazy batch settings.

Main plots:

In her previous life, the heroine witnessed her mother and aunt die at the hands of the mob, and she herself was not spared. After being reborn, the three returned together. The heroine foresaw that the mob was about to slaughter the village, and decided to flee in advance with her relatives. She was a modern-day time-traveler, a retired special forces soldier in her previous life, so she led the fugitive team and took command. Betrayed by the team on the way, she decisively leads the people who trust her to split into another team, and uses her prophetic dreams to avoid danger many times. On the way, he reunites with his father, who is also reborn, and finds that he is no longer stupid and filial, and his identity is extraordinary. The father and daughter joined forces and led the team to the capital. On the way, she met a "heartthrob" woman, because she caused casualties among the people, and the heroine decisively executed her and sank her into the river. After arriving in the capital, the heroine once again meets her two younger brothers who have been reborn, each with a prominent new identity. In the end, the heroine's father regained the identity of the former queen's biological mother, successfully overthrew the faint monarch, and ascended the throne as the emperor.

Plot Highlights:

1. The "whole family is reborn" setting breaks the routine

Most rebirth plots usually focus on personal counterattacks, such as the heroine being reborn alone, relying on the memories of her previous life to fight the best relatives, tear the white lotus, and go to the top. Although this kind of story is full of coolness, it is often limited to the perspective of "one person lives again", fighting alone and with a single rhythm. And this drama has found a different way and adopted the setting of "the whole family is reborn": not only the heroine is reborn, but her mother, aunt, father, and two younger brothers are also reborn one after another.

What's even more exciting is that the memory and consciousness of the family after rebirth are at different levels. In the early stage, the heroine ran away alone with her mother and aunt, her father was still indulging in foolishness, and her younger brother insisted on staying with her grandmother. And when the reborn father and younger brothers gradually returned to the team, their identities were revealed one by one, and the process from disintegration to rereunion was even more like the Avengers version of the collective monster fight.

2. The heroine opens her golden finger wide, and the cool points are stacked

本劇女主不止是“重生者”，還是“穿越者” + “特種兵” + “預知夢擁有者”，三重 Buff 加身，可謂是爽文女主天花板。

In modern times, she is a retired special forces soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, and her combat skills, psychological quality, and battlefield command ability are all online. Reborn back in the troubled times, she did not choose to entangle internal friction, but quickly organized the team, planned escape routes, and formulated tactics. is different from the traditional reborn heroine who relies on house fighting games to win, she directly starts hard, clean, kills fake white lotus, and kills traitors, there is no nonsense in the whole process, and the plot is clicked.

The daughter of the county order that appears in episode 56 is like the heroine of an ancient romance novel, flirting with different men but letting the people around her suffer and kill people. The heroine is not used to it at all, and directly disposes of the heroine's body and throws it into the river to prevent future troubles.

And the ability to predict dreams makes her seem to have an extra pair of "heavenly eyes" in the troubled times, and she is one step ahead of others to avoid fatal crises. In the plot, the heroine relied on the prophetic dream to warn in advance and lead the whole team to save the day - for example, she dreamed of a wild bear infested, organized a transfer in advance, and avoided the attack; There was also a premonition that the horse bandits were coming, so they quickly set up an ambush and led people to stabilize their positions. On the way, she encountered a robbery by gangsters, she judged the situation, decisively decided to defend the inn, and successfully protected everyone; The team is short of water, and she uses experience and intuition to find a hidden water source to save the crisis and so on.

The "cool point" of her body is not only in her ability, but also in the leadership, decisiveness, sense of sacrifice and calm and sober that are shown behind this ability.

Summary:

In the market environment where the theme of rebirth tends to be homogeneous, this drama successfully breaks through the rebirth track with the dual-track parallel structure of "family rebirth" + "goldfinger heroine", and opens up a new paradigm of collective counterattack in troubled times. Different from the traditional routine of single-player reboot and house fight upgrade, it combines the real and brutal Great Famine background with a complex growth trajectory. And the heroine's setting of "reborn, traverser, special forces, and predictive dreams" pushes the coolness to the extreme, refreshing the upper limit of the heroine's ability.

02. "You're a human trafficker, but I'm a praying mantis"

One sentence highlight: The mantis essence female agent breaks the mystery of abduction and trafficking

The heroine is a mantis princess, and after being incorporated by Bureau 749, she is specifically responsible for combating trafficking syndicates. When I went to Jiangcheng University to perform a mission, I was pursued madly by the male owner, and after being with the male owner, I was going to go home with him to meet my parents, and it was found that he was suspected of being involved in trafficking. The heroine pretended not to follow her back to a remote mountain village, found the painful life of the low-level women in the village and the villain's criminal behavior of abducting and trafficking women, and faced the villain heroine turned into a praying mantis and began to hunt, but when she was about to succeed, she found that the deputy captain of the anti-trafficking team was the villain's big boss, and finally the heroine's mother came to the rescue, defeated the villain and helped the abducted women get out of trouble.

749. Zerg Princess +0 round agent, new ability setting

The heroine is a princess of the mantis tribe, and she was incorporated as an anti-abduction agent by the special agency "Bureau 749", and the setting itself breaks the traditional human perspective and is very fresh. The "Seal Belt" setting designed around the racial characteristics of the "Mantis Spirit" cleverly integrates gender issues with black humor.

Because of the heroine's outstanding appearance, she "ate" the boss of the trafficking group after being frequently harassed in the previous trafficking mission. Her mother was afraid that she would eat people again, so she set a ban on her: only when outsiders untied her belt could the demonic power of the seal be released. This belt is both a protective mechanism and a limiting shackle, and once no one unseals it, she can't even protect herself. This setting creates a tension of "having to lure others to break the seal", which on the one hand has a subtle sense of comedy, and on the other hand, it also sharply satirizes the absurd reality that "women are only allowed to fight back when they are violated".

2. Suspense + crime-solving theme, anti-trafficking justice theme

The theme itself wraps the expression of realism "anti-trafficking" with the shell of fantasy setting, which can reduce the heaviness of expression and cause the audience to think deeply.

When the heroine goes deep into the remote mountain village to investigate, she finds that the abnormal social structure of "all men in the village" in the village is a metaphor for the gender imbalance caused by human trafficking. The crazy male protagonist's mother is only a few shots, but it accurately shows the tragic fate of the trapped women: delirious, limited speech, may be bound by chains, and long-term life under patriarchal oppression and sexual violence, which is shocking. The plot presents the pain of real abducted women in a curious way, presenting a visual spectacle and a strong social reflection.

The final reversal is also ironic, when the heroine is in crisis with the villain, the savior she thought was the villain's boss behind the scenes.

The deputy head of the anti-trafficking brigade is the mastermind behind the trafficking organization. He used the name of "justice" to cover up crimes, use power for profit, cross-ethnic trafficking of women, and integrate corruption and trafficking crimes within the system, so that the plot not only stays at the level of personal resistance, but also extends to the exposure of systemic darkness. The ending ends with the slogan of "There is no crutches in the world", combining coolness with justice, which not only meets the audience's emotional expectations of "good and evil are rewarded", but also has the significance of advocating in real society, and truly achieves the coexistence of entertainment and social value.

While maintaining the sense of curiosity and coolness, the play successfully hits the pain points of reality and touches on the social issue of abduction and trafficking of women. Although some of the plots still use women's plots to attract traffic, they still achieve the dual landing of entertainment and social value, and it is an anti-type dark horse work with a bold form and a profound core.
