In the national drama market, comedy is always an indispensable genre, especially martial arts comedies, which will attract widespread attention from the audience almost every time they appear.
The classic "Wulin Gaiden" can be called the ceiling, and the follow-up dramas such as "Dragon Gate Dart Game" and "Legend of Magpie Knife Gate" also bagged both popularity and word of mouth.
However, not all TV series labeled as martial arts comedies can become classics, such as the current hit drama - "Chivalry Doesn't Work".
After the show was launched in the goose factory, it became the first place on the list of martial arts dramas, with a score of 8.0 points on the station, which seems to be a good result.
But Jin Yu is defeated on the outside, click on the Douban comment area, and one-star and two-star negative reviews abound:
"A new milestone in the history of domestic entertainment actress injured at work"
"Is this show a test of the audience's obedience?"
"It really doesn't work"
The audience's complaints are varied, but they can be summed up in two words: ugly!
So what's wrong with this show?
"Chivalry Doesn't Work" tells the story of Gou Lingfeng (played by Xu Zhisheng), the son of a wealthy businessman, who wants to become a peerless hero, but was deceived by his master and learned the magic of the Demon Sect for 18 years.
In fact, looking at the synopsis, this martial arts comedy is full of fresh highlights, such as decent people using demonic magic to punish rape and eliminate evil, which sounds inexplicably full of laughter, but after clicking on the feature film, I just want to say, what is this.
Although the male protagonist Gou Lingfeng is learning the magic of the Demon Sect, he has been practicing for 18 years, not to mention his infinite strength, at least his body is absolutely healthy.
But he started standing on a tree, and when he was blown by the cold wind, he began to sneeze like he had a cold, good guy, are heroes so weak?
In addition, Gou Lingfeng's eyes are not good, and the young women who are close at hand can't see clearly.
In the last second, two hooligans flirted with the white-haired Ma Yundan (played by Fan Jingyi), and called people "little girl" in their mouths.
As a result, Gou Lingfeng stood closer than the two hooligans, but he couldn't see Ma Liangdan's true appearance at all, and he opened his mouth to call the other party's grandmother.
Audience:?
When Ma Lidan complained that he was a bad guy on the grounds that the scar on his face was asymmetrical, Gou Lingfeng also said with a look of grievance that the other party was too hasty to judge people by appearance.
Isn't it, don't you also call someone grandma when you see the other party's white hair? If you want me to say, the two of you can't make up one person's emotional intelligence together.
In addition, the play uses Gou Lingfeng's ugliness as a reason, and also sets up a lot of strange and outrageous plots.
For example, the decent disciples thought that Gou Lingfeng was a remnant of the Demon Sect, and designed to correct him on the spot, but he didn't expect to take out the wanted warrant and find that he recognized the wrong person, and finally left in disgrace.
And when Gou Lingfeng wanted to join the martial arts and would meet these people again, this group of people seemed to have lost their memory, and pointed at Gou Lingfeng and shouted:"It's this remnant of the Demon Sect who injured many of our brothers last night"。
No, none of the martial arts people in this drama are normal people? Forgetfulness is so big, how did you walk the rivers and lakes?
Even Deng Yunfeng (played by Chu Junchen), the head catcher of the Town Prison Division, is also a figure with a lower IQ.
There is no actual evidence, just because Gou Lingfeng looks thunderous, and as soon as he hears other people indignantly shouting about the remnants of the other party's demon sect, Deng Yunfeng arrested Gou Lingfeng without checking, and wanted to bend into a trick.
Okay, well, in this drama, ugliness is the original sin, don't care if you do bad things or not, ugly is a bad villain, you don't talk about the logic at all, the core is empty and crotch-pulling.
At the same time, it is said that it is a martial arts comedy, and the martial arts part of the play is also full of water, and the action of the play is all based on slow motion and studio-style special effects.
I saw Gou Lingfeng spinning like a spinning top in the crowd running in two rows, and then the group of people automatically collided face to face and fell to the ground, and the scene was so fake that there was no mouth.
It can be said that "Chivalry Doesn't Work" can't pretend to understand, and the story of a martial arts shell is not as logical as a child's play, and the scalp of people who laugh awkwardly is numb, and the core can't stand.
I didn't expect that it has been 2025 years, and the audience can still see such a shoddy TV series, and it is not for nothing that domestic dramas have entered the cold winter.
Of course, in addition to the thunderous plot, what makes the audience bow down is the acting skills of the actors.
In order to accommodate Wang Hedi's Mandarin, the role of Gou Lingfeng in the new drama is completely a role that serves Xu Zhisheng's appearance.
From the very beginning, the play added a terrible scar to the character, and carried out the word "ugly" to the end.
But when I saw Xu Zhisheng appear, I just felt that this scar was unnecessary, because as we all know, Xu Zhisheng looked a little anxious.
Although he is only 30 years old, the folds on his face, as well as the beard that is deliberately pasted on, are more than enough to play the hero's father, but he has to play the hero in his twenties, and he doesn't know where the courage comes from.
In addition to his appearance, Xu Zhisheng's acting skills are completely unable to carry the role and the whole drama.
Being framed as a remnant of the Demon Sect, he wanted to show the grievances of the young man, but he squeezed his eyebrows, his facial features flew wildly, and after a whole set of performances, the whole person seemed to have been stung by a bee and used too much force.
When he was afraid, Xu Zhisheng opened his mouth as if he was going to eat people, and his facial features were crowded together.
And Xu Zhisheng doesn't look like he's scared, but it makes people wonder, shouldn't he be secretly laughing?
In addition, the most dramatic thing about Xu Zhisheng's performance in the play is not the row of big teeth, but the nose that shrugs up at every turn, and the more you look at it, the more spicy your eyes become.
At the same time, Xu Zhisheng's lines are really bad.
The words are slurred, vague, "received this demon" and said "searched for this demon", and I don't know what he's talking about without reading the subtitles.
Seriously, challenging the male protagonist with Xu Zhisheng's acting skills is not only difficult for himself, but also for the audience.
That's it, Xu Zhisheng also has an affair plot in the play.
When I saw Xu Zhisheng's intimate interaction with the beauties, I just wanted to ask for a pair of eyes that I hadn't watched this drama.
The drama "Chivalry Doesn't Work" has given stars who want to cross over to become actors a reminder, don't think that under the guise of comedy, you can perfectly cover up your bad acting skills, really good works, actors' acting skills are always the top priority.
As a talk show actor, Xu Zhisheng can act in sketches, talk shows or participate in variety shows, but trying to act is completely testing the audience's bottom line.
In fact, his appearance is not the key reason why the audience refuses him to get started, the most important point is that his Mandarin is not standard, his saliva is quite heavy, his words are not clear, and he cannot fully convey the emotions that the character should have.
With such a performance, he should be content to show his face in "Celebrating More Than Years 2", but he didn't expect to pick Liang to play the male lead and poison the audience's eyes, it can only be said that he is too confident.
And now the show is still being updated, I don't know what you think of this show?
