The first vision

Remake of the drama ratings - high

Drama remake of the audience like it? Ratings, the most telling. Although nowadays many of the remake of drama has been questioned, but these views did not affect the ratings of several television shows - from Hunan Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV and the news said, "Living Buddha Ji Gong 2" and the new "My Fair Princess" viewing the first paragraph has been the same, and the new "Water Margin" in Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Shanghai TV as the story unfolding, showing a "catch-me" posture.

The second vision

Lines start to play through - hanging out

Because the "second play" most of the costume drama, so the lines appear as "archaisms" the audience believe it should be, but when the "Living Buddha Ji Gong 2", Benny, played by Chi Kung to say "your mother calling you home eat "," horses are clouds of God ", when the new" My Fair Princess "even the characters are incomplete Swallow began to recognize chaotic whirlwind English, to give the audience some can not accept, and that it is" through "too over the .

The third eye

Remake of drama to reduce risk - stability of the

Throughout the remake of drama, "formerly" without exception, once the hit series, which itself has a certain audience base. Now for the new faces, new stories added, to attract new elements into the new and old viewers more likely, more likely to bear the market risk, and therefore subject to buy the film side stations of all ages. New "My Fair Princess" director Li had said remake itself through the market test of Jingdian Ju, relatively less risky.

The fourth vision

Drama entertainment without limits - the wrong

Reporters learned that the story suffered the most criticism is the new "My Fair Princess." 70% of known new entrants Qiong Yao story, but these new materials has become the eyes of the audience, "Ray-point": the original kung fu cat with three legs of Swallow, a play on an enemy one hundred; Myrtle sneezed, the emperor himself immediately take off her clothes to put on, so they are cold fever; new "Water Margin" episode was the audience caught the handle, the Ming Dynasty, but the corn was introduced into China in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The fifth vision

Bundled marketing for profit - a profit of

"Remake" a new phenomenon in the television remake of the film, the game began to become more closely tied. "Wind" in the movie at the box office after a hot, immediately launched the TV version of "Legend of the wind," recently, "You Are the One" will have to make a TV series version of the classic game "Paladin" is based on three-generation version of the game , shoot the three TV series. Insiders said that bundling the way marketing is quite popular internationally.

Sixth look

T units of the new character style - colloquial

New "Water Margin", the Liangshan heroes were caused by the shape of the Water Margin Online fans "too modern, most do not fly," the criticism. Chen Wu was wearing a version of which mix of retro style linen vest, was friends thought Pirates of the Caribbean. The most special is that they are all heroes, "collar Party", Daguan Ren are the "flower arrangement control", the audience joked, "like taking the T station."

Reporters reflections

Should fear the heart of classical

Classic, should stand the test of time, television, films and even more so. Because it belongs to the spiritual wealth of mankind, its people's ideology has a profound impact, it even represents an era of values.

But that does not mean that can not remake the classic, but do not easily come by as the remake of the fat, so not only desecrated a classic, but also to producers of values ​​and life orientations exposed. In film and television industry, the most important is innovation, there is no innovation without a new era of civilization label. Based on the classic pursuit of innovation is important to cherish a reverence for classic heart. Only fear, in order to understand its essence, in order to create new classics, in order to finally be recognized by the market.

Reporters at the time of writing rough statistics, show business is being shot and will shoot "The Legend" has three, "Bruce Lee" There are two "Gods" has three, in addition, there are two "White Snake "and four" Guan "screen will appear. So often people can not help asking in the end is a remake of TV's original power of China's lack of, or result in continued industry flippancy, "old stuff" of the status quo. In any case, hope that these will meet the recycling and the audience can not forget the classic of classic awe, so as to face the rise of the ancestors who created the classic. Our reporter Liu Jie
