8 points+drama achievement highlights of the year

Waiting for the explosion list

In 2022, there were 12 domestic dramas with scores above 8, covering sports, love, costume, suspense, fantasy, etc., and the market showed a posture of letting a hundred flowers blossom.

The 9.3-point "Daughter of Dashan" is the only Chinese drama that has passed the 9-point mark this year, ranking first in the annual word-of-mouth list. Judging from the portraits of the audience, the main fans of the play are middle-aged and elderly people, so there is no big noise on the Internet.

However, according to China Audio-visual Big Data of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the viewing share of Daughter of Dashan is as high as 5%, ranking first in the prime-time TV series in China. In a sense, it can also be called a veritable high-quality masterpiece this year.

More than 230,000 people scored a high score of 8.5, which also made it ranked second in the word-of-mouth list.

Dubbed by the audience as the script "Guarding the Liberation of the West", the story revolves around four fledgling trainee police officers. With its grounded plot and humorous expression, it has won the favor of a large number of audiences. During the first broadcast, it won many hot searches and the ratings exceeded 100 million. It is also a well-received and blockbuster explosion masterpiece.

"Sanyue has a new job" and "Foreign Material Records" both ranked third in the annual word of mouth with a score of 8.4. Compared with the above two TV dramas, both of them are representatives of "small but beautiful".

Similar to the movie, "Sanyue has a new job" also pays attention to the funeral industry, and rarely discusses the growth of "lying flat" girls from the perspective of body makeup artists. The shaping of post-95 life attitude and value orientation is clearly in place, which resonates with many young audiences.

"The History of Foreign Objects" is a work with both suspense and fantasy elements in this year’s 8+National Drama. In recent years, suspense drama has been in full swing, and The Tale of Foreign Objects skillfully supplemented by fantasy has created its own splendor.

"Long River in the World" scored 8.3, and passed the top three in word of mouth. In the track with the theme of costume, "Long River in the World" is more inclined to the category of historical drama, with historical facts to be tested and multi-line narratives echoing each other, which makes it complete the breakthrough of types.

Similarly, The Wind Rises in Longxi, which is based on Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition, was once praised as "Seeing the Great History with Little People" with a score of 8.1.

Meng Hua Lu, who is also a costume drama, focuses on "ancient dolls". The casting of the partner is not only full of value, but also difficult to find fault with the fit of the characters. Their excellent performances also help Meng Hua Lu break into the high score list with a score of 8.0.

The time series "The Wind Blows Pinellia" and "In the World" all cut through the exploration in the tide of reform and opening up, recreating that magnificent course. The former got a high score of 8.2, while the latter got a score of 8.1, and became a phenomenal explosive work.

At the 31st China Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, "On Earth" won four awards including "Excellent TV Series". Recently, it won the award for outstanding TV works in the commendation of advanced units and outstanding works in the 16th "Five One Project" of spiritual civilization construction.

In addition, the 8.2-point "Beyond" is the only sports drama on the list. The return of the original crew of "20 Don’t Confuse 2" and the starring romantic drama "My Calorie Boy" were also successfully shortlisted for 8 points+list.

The main melody drama performed brilliantly.

"Now" and "suspense" almost mean.

Looking at the 12 plays on the 8+list, it is not difficult to find that the main melody series accounts for a high proportion. Daughter of Dashan, Police Honor, Pinellia ternata blown by the wind, Transcendence and In the World all belong here.

Or the group image expression like "Police Honor" is full of workplace elements, or "Beyond" pays tribute to the short track speed skating competition and reflects the changes of the times … Thanks to the successful hosting of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the convening of the Party’s 20th victory, this year’s main theme drama series is not only richer in theme types, but also more diversified in expression methods, further satisfying people’s aesthetic needs.

Take "Police Honor" as an example. Unlike many TV series that focus on the "police" group, the four "trainee policemen" do not exaggerate the heroic aura too much, but appear as "ordinary people", who will boldly move forward, hesitate and occasionally show their vulnerability. The whole drama runs through with a strong "fireworks", which makes the audience intuitively feel the ups and downs of the grassroots police.

Last year, there were popular Minning Town and Black Storm, and this year, there are high-quality representatives such as In the World and Police Honor. The main melody drama series is undoubtedly a branch of the drama market that cannot be ignored in recent years.

At present, although there is no division in the hit, from the feedback of many viewers, the texture of the play is also worthy of praise.

In terms of other types of themes, the ancient costume works are the most worthy of attention.

The public report pointed out that the number of costume dramas launched in 2022 dropped significantly compared with the same period of last year, but the overall quality improved significantly. As mentioned above, "Long River in the World", "Wind Rises in Longxi" and "Dream of China" are all above the 8+list, second only to the main melody works in quantity.

From the heat point of view, the ancient puppet drama that abandoned "industrial saccharin" can be slightly better than other costume dramas by virtue of the magic weapon of natural "high sweetness".

For example, the 7.9-point "Canglan Tactic" and the 7.7-point "Splendid Star and Bright Moon Rising to the Sea" failed to make the 8-point+list, but the overall performance was also remarkable, especially the former ranked first in the broadcast index of all dramas in the third quarter. "Di Xin Gravitation", "Wu Lu can escape" and "Looking forward to brightness" have become one of the most popular CPS in 2022.

In terms of "current spouse", the best score on the list is My Calorie Boy with 8.1 points. I have to say that this masterpiece of word of mouth has received little attention, with only 12,000 evaluators.

On the contrary, more than 160,000 people commented, and those who set off the movie-watching boom only got 7.4 points. Another example is "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, bright stars", whose revenue has exceeded 100 million yuan, with a score of only 6.5, and "current couples" with popular traffic blessings, such as "28 Laws of Love", whose scores are only hovering on the qualified line.

This also means that the "modern couple" still needs to continue to refuel on the road of exploration in order to gain the dual recognition of the market and word of mouth.

There are many innovative works in suspense dramas this year, but on the whole, it is a sigh of relief.

At the beginning of the year, The Beginnings quickly became popular with the theme of "infinite flow" time cycle, followed by the close-knit plots from the perspective of the portrait artist, including "Coward" adapted from the novel "Raw Swallow". The scores of the three popular suspense dramas were all between 7.5 and 7.9, and they failed to reach by going up one flight of stairs. "Old Play Bone" partner’s "The Gate of Rebirth" failed to cross the 7-point mark.

"The Story of Foreign Objects", which focuses on suspense and fantasy, has a slightly higher score, but it fails to make a circle in the degree of communication. If you want to make the next one, you also need to spend some thought on suspense drama.

It is worth mentioning that "Sanyue has a new job" and "Twenty Don’t Confuse 2" pay attention to the young audience, and truly discuss the growth process of the younger generation, which greatly arouses the audience’s empathy and both stand out in word of mouth. The success of "Twenty Don’t Confuse 2" has even broken the "curse" of the IP sequel, which has greatly improved its reputation compared with the previous work.

It also involves the discussion of teenagers’ topics, and the scores of Dear Children and are 7.7 and 7.3 respectively.

In the final analysis, literary and artistic works must ultimately be geared to the public. No matter what type it belongs to, grasping the audience’s mind is always the basis for its double harvest of market reputation, and it is also an issue that creators need to think about.
