Sohu Entertainment Special Article (Li Xiaowolf/Text) Some viewers used "returning to the palace" to describe Song Zuer's comeback.

This evaluation from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Concubine Xi returns to the palace" implies an expectation that she is about to kill the Quartet. Some viewers left messages under Song Zuer's related videos, "Three years back is still the king", "The real 951 of internal entertainment is back".

"Worry-free" was airborne, reaching the top of Yunhe, with a market share of 2.0%, and Song Zuer's acting skills and beauty have also been recognized on a large scale, which seems to have paved the way for her comeback.

However, the word "return to the palace" should carry heavier expectations. At present, "Worry-free Crossing" is still far from the hit, and it can hardly be called a "work of returning to the palace" with some eyebrows.

Song Zuer still holds the hole card of "Bending the Waist" in his hand, and the broadcast effect of this drama may be the key to Song Zuer's impact on the 95 flower pattern.

This "return to the palace" narrative is not over yet.

01 The distance between "Worry-free" and the hit

或許可以用“比上不足，比下有餘”形容《無憂渡》。

In the category of ancient puppets, it is indeed fresh and sophisticated.

It is not a common homogeneous rotten puppet on the market.In the ancient puppet era of extreme inflation in power, beauty, status, and wealth, the male and female protagonists of "Worry-free" are simply rare ordinary.

男主不是捉妖版霸道總裁，平日開著藥材鋪，幫女主找爹前得先收一千兩，搞不定衙門捕快，想驗屍全靠偷。女主也並非當下流行的女強大女主，她循規蹈矩又乖巧懂事，看到妖怪會害怕，遇到危險會喊男主救命。

It's no longer the kind of ancient puppet that wears the skin of a demon hunter but falls in love. The focus of the story is on catching demons, rather than giving the male and female protagonists a chance to fall in love.

The acquaintance and binding of the male and female protagonists is reasonable and logical.The two were in an employment relationship in the early stage.,The motivation for the heroine's behavior has always been to find her father.,She decided that her father's bizarre death was related to the monster.,Only then did she find the male owner.,Only then volunteered to assist the male owner in investigating the Jasper pear case.。 And the male protagonist collects money to do things, and has repeatedly emphasized that the female protagonist should give money first.

The progress and warming of the relationship between the two was also completed in the monster hunt. The male protagonist used the mountain sword to catch demons.,Side effects of drowsiness.,At the same time, I'm worried that the female owner will be retaliated by the mirror demon.,So I tied the female owner to sleep together.。

It can be said that "Worry-free Crossing" is a plate of real dumplings, not dumplings wrapped in vinegar.

But if you really watch "Worry-free" as a monster hunting drama, the shortcomings are obvious.

Its sense of suspense is clearly not enough, There is not a single shot of false shaking, and the monsters are all open cards.

The sense of horror atmosphere is almost meaningless.For example, the second Jasper Pear case is related to the Mirror Demon, no matter how many people Ah Li has fallen in love with, how many times he wants to resist, and how many times he wants to escape from the fate of maintaining his beauty by killing people, he will eventually return to the Mirror Demon.

Mirrors are actually very useful props, which can divide or expand the physical space, and can design very beautiful lenses. For example, through the infinite repetition of mirrors, hinting at the multiple identities or dilemmas of the characters, it can also emphasize the real and the unreal through the huge contrast between the real world and the mirror world.

But when revealing Ah Li's true face, there is almost no contrast, just some more wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, which cannot be seen at all without close-ups. Similarly, in the climactic scene, the director simply placed a few mirrors in the air, and the picture is really lacking in imagination.

The process of catching demons is also not very technical.The male protagonist used the female protagonist twice as bait, and the mirror demon appeared, but the mirror demon was not angry, and he was fooled every time. As long as the monster is lured out, the male protagonist can basically fight, and an action scene is solved.

正因為捉妖劇情的溫吞，《無憂渡》的平台熱度徘徊在9000+，艱難爬升中，目前離破萬還有距離。

And for Song Zuer, who is gearing up, a "Worry-free Crossing" is obviously not enough.

02 Have you returned to the palace?

Song Zuer used to be one of the most optimistic 95 flowers.

95 flowers, her appearance and acting skills are dominant, she can act in ancient costumes and modern times, and she also showed her plasticity as an actor through "Children of the Qiao Family" early, and her acting career is relatively wide.

Before the tax turmoil, her dramas to be broadcast were all blockbusters - "Bending the Waist" became popular before it was broadcast, and until now, many viewers are looking forward to the broadcast of this drama; The entrepreneurial drama "Difficult Manufacturing" of the era, the original work is Anai, and the director is Li Xue, who has filmed "Langya Bang" and "Dajiang Dahe", and the team is escorted at noon.

Her audience popularity is also good, many viewers welcomed Song Zuer's return this time. Some people praise her acting skills, some people praise her beauty, and some people think that she is the real 95 flower TOP.

Even so, Song Zuer's road back to the palace is still full of uncertainty.

Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for "Worry-free Crossing" to become a hit,The success of "Bending the Waist" is even more crucial。

Although "Difficult Manufacturing" is also a big drama that has attracted much attention, because the core protagonist is Liu Jun played by Zhang Xincheng, the impact on Song Zuer is relatively small.

"Bending the Waist" is a typical "drama to be exploded", and it does not worry about the enthusiasm of the broadcast.But the problem is that under the high attention and high expectations, the dramas to be exploded will often face stricter and more careful trials, and the shortcomings of the dramas will be exposed faster, more comprehensively, and more thoroughly.

According to historical experience, only a few online dramas to be exploded can get out of the big trial, and the fate of most of the dramas to be exploded is to become another joy in the vast Internet.

Whether "Bending the Waist" can withstand trial is still unknown.

Maintaining a stable output of works in the follow-up is more important and more difficult for Song Zuer. Although it is rumored on the Internet that the heroine of the IP drama "Cousin Wanfu" has been set as Song Zuer,But as long as she doesn't really join the group, the market is still on the sidelines。

In this subtle attitude, even if netizens pushed her to the 95 flower TOP candidate, her actual impact on the pattern was very limited.

On the one hand, although Zhao Lusi and Yu Shuxin have recently fallen into varying degrees of bottlenecks, after all, the two have accumulated many hit dramas, and the traffic hole card and commercial value are difficult to shake in a short period of time.

On the other hand, 95 flowers, including Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, Zhang Jingyi, Wang Churan, etc., all have a wealth of works to be broadcast, and they are all waiting to be filled.

New people are also emerging. For example, Dai Luwa in "White Moon Fanxing", although she is a supporting role, she has successfully gained a name on the short video platform with her "Jinjiang-style acting skills".

The competition for 95 flowers is only going to get tougher. This kind of competition is no longer a simple traffic game, but a multi-dimensional collision of acting, works, topicality, and commercial value.

The long-form drama market is accelerating iteration. "Nine Purples" and "When the Wild Goose Returns" were broadcast one after another, Mencius Yi and Chen Turin were successfully put on the table, and "drama lifts people" has become the new normal.The actor's personal aura is diluted by the production system and market environment.

In this industry ecology, Song Zuer's road back to the palace may be more difficult than expected.
