Xiaogang Feng has also come to shoot an online drama, which is still a fashionable theme of urban women.

Within 24 hours of the launch of the new drama "Beizhenanyuan" on the iQiyi platform, the drama began to show the quality of "explosion". From the night of the premiere, it won two hot searches in Weibo, # Liu Xiaoqing as Grandma Gina # and # Bo Huang Lyric as the opposite play #, and it was less than 12 hours since it was launched, and it became the top10 series of many professional data lists, such as Cat’s Eye, Detawen and Guduo, and "Going South" can be described as a hot start.

However, in sharp contrast, it is the word-of-mouth trend of the play. On Douban, more than 2,000 people have come to score the play, and more than half of the netizens have given negative comments such as "floating" and "ungrounded". What’s more, some netizens even labeled Xiaogang Feng, who was "descending to earth" to shoot online drama, as "Jing M.Guo", thinking that his creative content seriously violated the living soil. "His works have long lost their popularity." On Douban, a netizen vomited.

This is not the first time that Xiaogang Feng has filmed an online drama. As early as 2019, he and his "old partner" Lu Guoqiang jointly created a martial arts theme "Sword Dynasty". At that time, the drama also experienced a tug-of-war of traffic and word of mouth, and finally ended with Douban 6.2, with a mediocre response.

"Crossing the South" can be said to be more like Xiaogang Feng’s "pro-child".In this film, Feng not only personally acted as a director, but also brought his wife Xu Fan, his old friend Zhao Xiaoding (a photography director who has worked together for many years) and half of the entertainment circle to "play a supporting role".The leading characters chosen are also female artists with acceptable reputation and popularity in the entertainment circle at present, such as Lyric and Gina. Even Wang Luodan, who hasn’t been filming for a while, gave a "special performance" in this play.

Regrettably, even with such a "Big Mac" configuration, it failed to get a good reputation for the first broadcast. From another point of view, this may also be the common feature of women’s topic dramas, that is, the topic is greater than word of mouth. Can Xiaogang Feng’s "debut of online drama (director)" be successfully started?

　"Petty bourgeoisie" version of her theme,

The "Trouble" in "Going North to the South"

"Never imagined that one day I would see the shadow of Jing M.Guo in Xiaogang Feng’s works. "After the broadcast of" North Zhe Nan Yuan ",the most commented on it on the Internet is the" suspended plot "in the play.

It is said that it is "suspended". In fact, there are many realistic topics in the play, such as the problem of "Mr. Digital" who directly hits the entertainment circle, the common phenomenon of male two acting without flow and male one grabbing the position, all of which make the audience hooked. "Small steel gun is still that small steel gun, dare to say and dare to criticize."

However,Once it returns to the main line of the plot, the drama will give the audience an impression of "it’s a pity to eat tasteless".The novel "Going North to the South" focuses on five urban women, who set up a restaurant called "Going North to the South" as the story background. In the process of starting a business, they have gained love and growth along the way.

At first glance, the setting of the whole drama is quite similar to many love women urban dramas such as Ode to Joy and Nothing But Thirty, but the core of the drama is far from it. If Ode to Joy and Nothing But Thirty still have a "realistic" side, then "Going to the South" seems to speak for China’s "rich areas". Unfortunately, it didn’t uncover the realistic topics such as class contradictions and social injustice in the upper class, like Korean dramas, but it covered a "realistic" shell and told the troubles of a group of rich people in petty bourgeoisie families.

Therefore, the troubles of the "protagonist" in the whole play are untenable. For example, Bao Xue, played by Lyric, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and has been a walk-on for many years. Her acting skills are good, but there is no play to shoot. Just when the audience almost thought that she was a member of the drifting army, when the camera turned, grandma lived in a private luxury villa and Bao Xue lived in a courtyard house in Beijing … Of course, if she developed according to such a character, it would be feasible. After all, the audience also likes to watch the story of "rich girls wandering the rivers and lakes". But when the conversation turned, the rich girl who wanted to start a business couldn’t even get the 300 thousand principal, which really made it difficult for the audience to understand

If Bao Xue’s personal design is only a little controversial, then Dai Xiaoyu played by Gina and You Shanshan played by Wang Luodan are completely out of the category of realistic creation.

"Turtle" graduated from graduate school with beauty and wisdom, but Dai Xiaoyu was cheated by love rat for seven years, only to find himself "being a mistress" at the wedding; Not only that, Dai Xiaoyu, who was looking for a job after returning to China, won the job as a public relations manager with "beauty and alcohol consumption" in a wine game. Not only did Dai Xiaoyu’s grandmother not understand, but the audience did not understand: why did the screenwriter match him with "stupid" things, which failed to reflect the temperament of a turtle and an elite in the workplace?

Wang Luodan’s You Shanshan is even more outrageous. After graduating from college, she happened to be in the investment industry, and now she is a "businesswoman" with small achievements. The reason why she brought several sisters she just met to open a restaurant is also quite rich. "I really think you are a good person." Netizens also said to this, "This is not a female entrepreneur, this is a female philanthropist."

In fact,Not only is the character setting slightly "suspended" in "North Crossing the South Pole", but the whole drama reveals a "luxury" wind from the setting to the story background.. For example, the car driven by Wang Luodan in the play is a million luxury cars that ordinary people can’t reach, and the luxury private villa where grandma lives is on the Second Ring Road in Beijing. The usual hobby of "sisters" is not swimming and feathering, but "riding" as standard for the rich.

The realistic version of "Beijing Circle" is full of honey and the rising version of "petty bourgeoisie" life is the consistent description of the drama by netizens. Judging from the theme and the core of the play, this is more like a "misplaced" expression directed by Xiaogang Feng, that is, covering the shell of the rich and telling the troubles that only the poor have.

This is an important factor for the controversial reputation of the play at present, and it is also another "beginning" for netizens to point to Xiaogang Feng himself.

The great director entered the online drama:

Can Xiaogang Feng pull it back?

At present, the online drama market has already entered the era of high-speed development with the highest standards and strict requirements. In the first six months of this year alone, there were more than 10 online dramas with a score of more than 7 in the market, among which there were many well-received and well-received word-of-mouth works such as Shan He Ling and Si Teng.

The rapid development of online drama has also attracted a group of well-known filmmakers and even movie actors to come to the game. At the same time, their co-creation dilemma, that is, much cry and little rain, also makes the market eye-catching. For example, the legendary drama Legend of the Early Republic of China, which was previously supervised by Chen Kaige and starring Seven and Oho Ou, was mentioned by Chen Kaige in the previous interview. The reason why he supervised the drama was that he valued the theme of the work. Many elements contained in the drama, such as the early Republic of China, strange people and gossip, also convinced the audience that this was an attempt to "touch the net" based on the rationalization of the theme.

However, judging from the word-of-mouth and final volume of the works, the market is unwilling to admit that this is an attempt by the famous director Chen Kaige to "touch the net", and the rumor that the great director "touches the net" is a nominal producer has been widely circulated.

Things came to Xiaogang Feng. As a first-line director in China, who is on par with Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and other famous directors of the fifth generation, Xiaogang Feng was not a trained director, but he made his debut by directing TV dramas in his early years. In terms of film artistic attainments, he may not be as brilliant as the directors in the same period, but he was the first leader in creating Chinese New Year comedies. According to the statistics of some media, by the end of 2010, the name "Xiaogang Feng" had appeared 12 times in the annual list of the top ten mainland films. Feng’s comedy style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

(Some works directed by Xiaogang Feng)

The "transformation" is from the beginning of 2010, when a number of "newcomers" such as Ning Hao, Xú Zhēng, Chen Sicheng, Bo Huang and Jason Wu began to emerge in the film market, which belonged to the box office era of the fifth generation directors and gradually came to an end.

Since then, Xiaogang Feng’s name has rarely appeared in the list of the top ten box office in China. Only two or two records were made, including mr. six in 2015 and Fanghua in 2017. Since then, Xiaogang Feng’s new work "If I don’t know" has fallen into the dilemma of both word-of-mouth and box office, and Xiaogang Feng is losing the film market that he is gradually proud of.

In 2019, it was Xiaogang Feng’s first experience of "touching the net", producing the martial arts drama "Sword Dynasty", but the result, as mentioned above, was "no success". The first shot of Feng’s online drama did not start. "North Crossing the South" can be regarded as Xiaogang Feng’s second work after "touching the net", and it is also a real directorial debut.

Except that the above-mentioned "group disk" resources are basically brought by himself,In the play, "Beijing flavor" breaks the mouth and attacks the illusion of entertainment circle, which also fully shows the comedy style of Feng’s early works.It’s a pity that once we get into the drama, this "garrulous" comedy creation style can only be brought into play under the double insurance of "Xiaogang Feng+Ge You"-young actors such as Lyric and Gina are obviously not suitable for this kind of creation style.

Fortunately,This is a drama about urban women, that is, the more controversial it is, the more topical it is.For example, the social issues such as "virgin complex" and "gold digger" touched upon in Ode to Joy before, and there are also "vampire son", "stay-at-home mother who is asked by her husband not to do his own business" and "postdoctoral fellow with male chauvinism in the late stage of cancer" in the plot of "North Road South". Judging from these plot settings, there is no shortage of topics in the later stage of the drama.

This is director Xiaogang Feng’s first hands-on experience after "entering the network", and it is also a weighing of advantages and disadvantages based on the current market. Perhaps, compared with other "great directors" who entered the online drama in the same period, Xiaogang Feng has also pulled back-after all, before Chen Kaige and Xu Jinglei entered the online drama, there was no online drama with explosive potential in the market.

On August 2, 2014, an explosion occurred in the first workshop of Zhongrong Metal Products Co., Ltd. in Kunshan Development Zone. Outside the inpatient department of Kunshan First People’s Hospital, some seriously injured people were transported to other places for treatment. Zhao Yun’s surging information

　 　 　 　 The State Council gave a reply to the investigation report on the "8.2" particularly serious aluminum dust explosion accident of Jiangsu Kunshan Zhongrong Metal Products Co., Ltd., and found that it was a production safety accident, and agreed to the suggestions on handling the responsible persons and responsible units. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, 18 responsible persons suspected of committing crimes have been transferred to judicial organs to take measures, and the other 35 responsible persons have been given disciplinary and political sanctions.

　　　　　　　　At 7: 34 on August 2, 2014, a particularly serious aluminum dust explosion occurred in the second polishing workshop of Kunshan Zhongrong Metal Products Co., Ltd., located in Kunshan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Kunshan City, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, killing 75 people and injuring 185 others that day. According to the 30-day reporting period after the accident stipulated in the Regulations on Reporting, Investigation and Handling of Production Safety Accidents, 97 people died and 163 people were injured (after the accident reporting period, 49 people died one after another and 95 injured people were treated in hospital, and their condition was basically stable), and the direct economic loss was 351 million yuan.

　　　　　　　　It was found that the direct cause of the accident was that the dust removal system in the accident workshop was not cleaned according to the regulations for a long time, and aluminum dust gathered. After the fan of the dust removal system is turned on, the high-temperature particles generated in the grinding process form a dust cloud above the dust collection barrel. The dust collecting barrel of No.1 dust collector was rusted and damaged, and the aluminum powder in the barrel was affected with moisture, which caused an exothermic oxidation reaction, reaching the ignition temperature of dust cloud, causing a series of explosions in the dust collecting system and workshop. Because there is no explosion relief device, the high-temperature gas and combustion products generated by the explosion are instantly ejected from each dust suction port through the dust removal pipeline, which leads to the direct explosion impact on the operators at all stations in the whole workshop, resulting in mass deaths and injuries.

　　　　　　　　The management reasons are: Zhongrong Company ignored the national laws and illegally organized project construction and production; Suzhou City, Kunshan City and Kunshan Development Zone have not paid enough attention to safety production, failed to implement the responsibility of safety supervision, and neglected Zhongrong Company’s violation of national laws and regulations on safety production and ineffective management of long-standing safety hazards; The relevant departments responsible for the supervision and administration of production safety did not perform their duties seriously, the examination and approval was not strict, the supervision and inspection were not in place, and the special governance work was not in-depth and not implemented; Jiangsu Huai ‘an Architectural Design and Research Institute, Nanjing University of Technology, Jiangsu Laibo Environmental Detection Technology Co., Ltd. and Kunshan Lingzheng Electromechanical Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd. and other units have carried out architectural design, safety evaluation, dust detection and dust removal system transformation in violation of laws and regulations.

　　　　　　　　Sheng Lei and Xu Meijian, members of the Party Group of Suzhou Municipal Government and vice mayors, and Hua Renjie, Party Secretary and Director of Suzhou Safety Supervision Bureau, were given severe punishment.

　　　　　　　　Guan Aiguo, secretary of the Kunshan Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Party Working Committee of Kunshan Development Zone, was given a serious warning and dismissal.

　　　　　　　　Lu Jun, Mayor of Kunshan City and Director of Kunshan Development Zone Management Committee, Zhang Yulin, Member of the Standing Committee of Kunshan Municipal Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Kunshan Development Zone and Deputy Director of Management Committee, Party Member and Vice Mayor of Kunshan Municipal Government, Party Member and Deputy Mayor, and Zhang Jun, Party Secretary and Director of Kunshan Safety Supervision Bureau, were dismissed from the Party.

　　　　　　　　Informed criticism was given to the People’s Government of Jiangsu Province and instructed to make a profound inspection to the State Council.

　　　　　　　　According to the Law on Work Safety and other relevant laws and regulations, the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government instructed the Jiangsu Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau to impose a prescribed economic penalty on Zhongrong Company, and the relevant departments banned Zhongrong Company according to law; The departments of housing and urban construction, safety supervision and environmental protection of Jiangsu Province will punish the units and relevant personnel of Huai ‘an Architectural Design and Research Institute of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing University of Technology, Jiangsu Laibo Environmental Detection Technology Co., Ltd. and Kunshan Lingzheng Electromechanical Environmental Protection Equipment Co., Ltd., and those who constitute a crime will be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law.

　　　　　　　　The State Council agreed with the suggestion of accident prevention measures put forward by the accident investigation team, requiring all regions, relevant departments and enterprises to profoundly learn from the accident lessons, always adhere to the red line of "development must not be at the expense of human life", thoroughly implement the new "Safety Production Law" and related laws and regulations, strengthen law and order, implement safety development, strengthen safety supervision of the government and its relevant departments, strengthen safety supervision of development zones, strictly examine and approve administrative licenses, fully implement the main responsibility of enterprise safety production, and promote special rectification of dust explosion prevention.
