Tasting celadon: Why is this "celadon" inferior to that "celadon"

Text/Zhou Wei Liu Nianguo spent two days watching Mr. Pumice's novel Celadon, and another week watching the TV version of Celadon on the Internet. I have to say that compared with wonderful novels, TV plays are slightly inferior, and they are also celadon. Novels are like Yue kilns in Tang Dynasty, Longquan kilns, official kilns, Ru kilns and Yaozhou kilns in Song Dynasty. Good things can stand tasting. The longer it lasts in Micari, the TV series will be like an imitation, just a decoration for rapid consumption. Let's talk about Zhang Zhongping first. When reading the novel Celadon, I was fascinated by Zhang Zhongping: in the shopping mall, he is a very shrewd businessman, flexible and relaxed; In love, he is romantic but rational. Although he wandered between Jiang and Zeng Zhen, he knew the advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, Zhang Zhongping is definitely a person with high IQ and EQ. Thanks to the author's proper arrangement of love and business war, Zhang Zhongping is more like a mature businessman than a strange uncle who is still playing idol drama with a little girl in his forties. The TV version of celadon, regardless of whether Wang conforms to the "charming" character image in the novel, is much lower than that in the novel in terms of personality alone. I don't know if it is to cater to the tastes of TV viewers. Obviously, the plot arrangement of TV series pays more attention to the triangle entanglement between Zhang Zhongping, Yico Zeng and Tang Wen, but weakens Zhang Zhongping's wisdom and elegance in the shopping mall. The key for Zhang Zhongping to attract Zeng Zhen and readers is that he is a successful businessman. His personal charm is first of all business wisdom, and then romantic love. Obviously, the settings of the TV series are a little upside down. I prefer Yan Ruoshui to Zhang Zhongping. Zhang Guoli deserves to be called an old opera bone. The whole performance is very restrained, and the image of Yan Ruoshui's cautious and cunning businessman is well portrayed. The same businessman, also facing the "gentle trap", Zhong Zhang and Yan Ruoshui formed a strong contrast: Zhang Zhongping, who had his wife and children around him, chose to betray his family; Although Yan Ruoshui is a profiteer, he is an out-and-out good husband and brother-in-law-his wife and children are away all the year round, and his aunt is beautiful and generous, but he is a loner and does not cross the line. In this contrast, the protagonist Zhang Zhongping's attraction is less than half. Besides Zhang Zhongping, an out-and-out villain, Xu Yi, all the other men in this TV series are good men who are loyal to their families. Even Gong Dapeng, a local rich man, fell in love at first sight. In my opinion, the biggest problem with the TV series Celadon is that all the characters are flat, and some people have an ideal personality like a benchmark. Just like the jungle. The jungle in TV series is simply a collection of all excellent qualities: as a husband, although his wife is not good from appearance to heart, she never cheats outside and even scoffs at Zhang Zhongping's behavior; As a father, although he is busy with his work, he knows the art of mental health education for children. As a judge, he is diligent, loves the people and is proficient in business. When it comes to promotion, he will take risks for the benefit of the people, and even show a rather detached realm for these fame and fortune. When he shouted "I am a people's cadre" with indignation, I felt that the jungle was simply not a person, he was a god! Similar to the jungle, there is Zhou Yunnian. Seeing that this guy didn't go to the wedding night, but taught people how to be a good person, I not only knelt down, but even for a moment, I strongly thought that I was out of my mind and I was watching XX. Since the establishment of 3D auction company for so long, Xu Yi has followed Zhang Zhongping all the way, not to mention that this person must have some unique abilities. At the very least, he is a man who has seen the world. As the saying goes, "I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run." It is such a person who has seen pigs run n times. At the critical moment of the company's important business, he gambled 500,000 yuan with a gambler who wanted to jump off a building. It was precisely because of this 500,000 yuan that he hated his brother-in-law Zhang Zhongping. If we look at Yi Xu's business activities, there are nothing more than two things: money and sex. Throw money first, and use a honey trap when it doesn't work. Of course, some people will say that "attacking officials" are not these two methods? However, the key is to be familiar with the goal first, know yourself and know yourself, and win every battle. This estimate is known to primary school students, but Yi Xu, who was brought up by Zhang Zhongping, doesn't know it. There is a saying in Weibo that "the happiest thing in the world is having someone with you". According to this truth, he must be very happy, because he has a good daughter-in-law, Zhou, who is even second to him. Whether yelling at him, not answering her phone, or abandoning her when she needed it most, just say "it's all for our future" and Zhou immediately smiled. Even though everyone saw the change in attitude, Zhou persisted. God, is this a goddess or a neurotic woman? In the characterization, the characters in the novel Celadon are plump, just like a Toronto Angus prime steak, delicious and chewy; In the TV series Celadon, it is more like a plate of white meat, which looks gorgeous, but the more you eat, the more tired you get. The characters in sitcom novels have the incomplete beauty of "no one is perfect", because they are real, so they are moving. The fullness of the characters is inseparable from the wonderful plot. The novel Celadon is known as "the real financial novel in China after Midnight by Mao Dun", because it tells not only the affair between men and women, or dirty tricks and hidden rules, but also the Chinese-style shopping mall relationship, and the whole book is a mirror display of interpersonal relationships. Characters' personality characteristics are all presented through details. When reading a novel, every time I face Tang Wen's question, I think what I would do if I were Zhong Zhang Ping. Most of the time, I can't figure out a way, but Zhang Zhongping in the novel can always be skillfully resolved, and the lies are watertight. Thus, Zhang Zhongping is an old hand in love. There is a passage in the book in which Zhong Zhang and Hu Haiyang talk about the Book of Changes. From the content of the dialogue, we can see that the wisdom and cultivation of both sides of the dialogue seem to be talking about Zhouyi, but in fact they are discussing the truth of doing business. At the same time, as far as I know, many businessmen actually study metaphysics, Zhouyi and Feng Shui, just like Li Ka-shing, and they believe in Feng Shui very much. There are also many wonderful game plots in the TV series Celadon, such as the dialogue between Zhong Zhang Ping and Yan Ruoshui in Celadon Hall, and the meeting between Zeng Zhen and Tang Wen. But compared with the realism of the novel, the TV series Celadon is more "idolized". In the novel, Zhang Zhongping's emotional development comes naturally, but in the TV series, there are obviously two feelings warming up: the first time was Yu Xia's cemetery, which really fell into the pit, and Zhang Zhongping struggled to save her and stayed in the hotel for one night; The second time, Zeng Zhen forgot to turn off the gas. Fortunately, Zhang Zhongping discovered in time that Zeng Zhen found herself increasingly inseparable from Zhong Ping. What makes people feel even more "commendable" is that although they have been in love to death, they still insist on "making love stops at ceremony" and can pull back from the edge of the cliff in time even when they are in bed. People who often watch idol dramas will often see similar plots: the heroine is terminally ill, the hero regrets when he knows that he is going to lose the heroine, and immediately becomes a good person from an asshole, and then the heroine either miraculously recovers, or the heroine is not sick at all, and the hospital makes a mistake in the examination results. Finally, the hero and heroine live happily together, they believe in love, and then the audience sniffles. The TV series Celadon, known as the commercial war blockbuster, actually joined this bloody plot: when Zhang Zhongping was caught in the temptation of triangle relationship and interests, his wife Tang Wen was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Then, Zhang Zhongping suddenly repented and found himself deeply in love with Tang Wen, so he broke off his true love with tears and decided to turn over a new leaf and return to the truth. As a result, the hospital made a mistake about Tang Wen's condition. Although it is impossible to deny the possibility of this kind of incident in real life, it is too hasty to end the "commercial war blockbuster" in this way. In addition, advertising placement is also obvious. You can see advertisements of various brands in the play: iphone, Red Bull, Jinliufu and so on. The most obvious is the scene of taking Zhou to buy a car. Playlists can be directly used as advertisements. In the play, the sales staff gave a thorough introduction to the performance of the car, and when it comes to the biggest selling point of "fuel saving", Zhou deliberately repeated it. Product placement was like dandruff. Although it is small, it affects the overall aesthetic feeling, not to mention such an obvious piece, and the audience is pulled out at once. Besides, this scene is unreasonable. And Zhou didn't make a successful business, so they had to borrow money everywhere to start a company, but they came to buy a car. This doesn't make sense. When reading the novel Celadon, we will feel a real helplessness. Among them, the description of intrigue, collusion between officials and businessmen and the relationship between men and women is very explicit, like a knife, which opens a confession in the fog, stimulating, enjoyable and true; However, with the end of the TV series Celadon, we find that it is still a drama that cannot be separated from the pattern: submission, evil does not suppress right; Choose a family, and the prodigal son will return. While enjoying the "chicken soup for the soul" brought by the happy ending, I also regret falling into a stereotype. I think this is why the combination of "best-selling novels+famous actors +prime files" still can't reach the first ratings.
