    This Q3, the reality drama exploded again?

    "Daughter of the Mountain", "Clearing the Canal in the High Mountains", "People by the Canal", "Dear Life", "The Big Exam", "The Bottom Line"... Q3 reality dramas, there have been many excellent works with double high ratings. Even some episodes, after being broadcast for nearly three months, still have "reverberations".

    What are the characteristics of these realistic dramas?

    Group dramas are popular, and the popularity of female themes continues

    In the Q3 drama, "Big Exam" tells the story of students, parents, teachers and other groups working together to overcome difficulties under the "college entrance examination + epidemic + disaster", and "Hutong" tells the story of a three-generation neighborhood committee director.

    This kind of "panoramic" drama with multiple characters and multiple story lines is more difficult from screenwriting to shooting than ordinary dramas.

    "Big Exam" adheres to the artistic style of real texture, and "Hutong" faithfully restores the scenery of old Beijing, all of which have been unanimously praised by the audience.

    "People by the Canal" focuses on the protection and development of the Grand Canal, and draws a picture that includes the government, enterprises and the public.

    It is also worth noting that in Q3's female-themed dramas, there are various solutions to the theme of "women + workplace".

    Except for the female neighborhood committee director in "Hutong", "Dear Life" and "All About Doctor Tang" are "women + medical care", "War of the Roses" is "women + law", "Twenty Do Not Confused 2" "Their Names" and other dramas also reflect all aspects of women's lives and work.

    The theme innovation of "parallel" + "up and down"

    This year's reality-themed dramas also present a new dimension of "soft science fiction".

    In addition to "The Beginning" in the first half of the year, another "Basic Law of Genius" in Q3 surprised the audience.

    The series presents the "Strawberry World" and "Cheese World" under the dual time and space to the audience at the same time in a staggered time line, and the setting is refreshing.

    Under the spectacle-like framework, there are more vivid life details, delicate family affection and love, etc., which enrich the flesh and blood of the story.

    There is also "Outside Court" that has worked hard on the theme.

    It adopts the theme of "suspense + legal affairs", and adopts the unique structure of "upper and lower" which is independent and interconnected in the narrative. A whole new viewing experience.

    The main theme drama narrative "each with its own unique tricks"

    The main theme drama in the real theme has also become the highlight of the Q3 drama, winning the audience as well as the word of mouth.

    The highest-rated "Dark Horse" drama on the Q3 network platform is a British model drama "Daughter of the Mountain".

    This play is adapted from the real deeds of Huang Wenxiu, the "model of the times", and it uniquely adopts a flashback method at the beginning.

    In particular, Huang Wenxiu calmly began to introduce himself to the audience when he encountered the mudslide. This scene of breaking the "fourth wall" had a strong impact and attracted many viewers to comment "I cried."

    The whole episode is even more "crying from beginning to end".

    Although it has been closed for nearly three months, audiences still initiate discussions on various platforms.

    Not only "The Daughter of the Mountain", but also "Qing Qu in the High Mountain", which is also based on the heroic character Huang Dafa, was broadcast on the Central One, and the ratings remained high.

    The play also adopts vivid shooting methods.

    As soon as the protagonist Huang Dafa appeared, he shuttled around the village like "parkour".

    The director used this smooth running scene to briefly and successfully introduce the main characters in the play, followed by a series of specific events to vividly show the spiritual growth of a Communist Party member, which is fascinating.

    The main theme dramas represented by "Daughter of the Mountain" and "Qingqu of High Mountains", especially the heroic dramas, have basically gotten rid of the old heroic narrative mode, and instead adopted the "civilian perspective, national narrative", combining ordinary people's struggle stories and the development of the country.

    The change of concept has also led to the innovation of narrative.

    A younger expression of "new story + new lineup"

    In the past two years, many main theme dramas have adopted younger performance methods in the traditional story framework, including the cast and plot content.

    Dramas such as "The Mountain's Daughter", "Big Exam", "Hutong" and "Genius Basic Law" are all starring young actors.

    The interactions between the small and medium actors in "The Big Exam" and "Basic Law of Genius" and the details of campus life, as well as the lifestyles of young people of different ages in "Hutong", all made the audience have a strong sense of interest and recognition.

    The heavy industry drama "Song of Lushan" also focuses on the stories of young scientists and skilled workers, so that more audiences, especially young people, can get to know the "Three Works" and understand the spirit of "craftsmen in a great country".

    The hard-core professional knowledge, strong sense of life and sense of the times have made the drama continue to lead in ratings and market share after the central one broadcast, which also shows the audience's recognition of the drama.

    The youthful expression brings a stronger sense of the times to the drama, and also brings more potential for "breaking the circle".
