"Time cycle" online drama phenomenon in 2022
2022-06-17
From the beginning of 2022, which "ignited" the online reform drama market, to "Twinkle a shining star", "don't fall in love with the boss", and then to "save you 10000 times", which has just been popular, 2022 is a "time cycle year". The broadcast of "beginning" has aroused the discussion and attention of the whole network. The show of the details of the lives of small people and the attention to the problem of "cyber violence" have also become the hot topics of the play. At the same time, people have also noticed that as a type of "time cycle" drama, "beginning" lacks a cool worldview design, nor does it have a high-tech brain hole. The "time cycle" is too "routine", without warning or bedding. It just changes the surrounding environment - a bus explosion. This is quite different from previous foreign "time cycle" dramas such as "source code" and "Butterfly Effect". "Twinkling stars", which follows "beginning", is not as influential as the former, but it has also won a good reputation and is known as the "dark horse" after "beginning". Although the "suspense line" is also set in "twinkle and twinkle star", in fact, it still focuses on "love line". The "time cycle" clarifies the mistress Lin Beixing's Mislove and zhangwansen's protection. The story is fresh and pleasant, but it also makes people wonder: why do several high school students use the "time cycle" for their emotional problems? Of course, the way to start the "time cycle" is also very simple, as long as you delete the SMS Similarly, don't fall in love with the boss and save you 10000 times both start with the workplace settings. Don't fall in love with the boss goes back to college. Save you 10000 times is a cycle in the workplace. The former gains the legal workplace status and the boss' love through time restart, while the latter enters the "white truth" of the poisonous and narcissistic boss and solves the business war calculation in the workplace, "Accident" and "Curse" are the motivation to open the "time cycle" respectively. Obviously, these "time cycle" online dramas do not want to play the technology card, and have nothing to do with high concepts and brain burning. In essence, it is still the familiar daily suspense, campus romance and workplace romance. But these stories add a lot of virtual experience: life is like a game that can be tried and wrong repeatedly, and the trial and error experience can be accumulated. Therefore, the course of life is no longer a one-time attempt, but a rational choice after repeated correction. The setting of "time cycle" is the film and television output of "crossing" and "rebirth" in network literature At the micro level, the setting of "time cycle" is closely related to "crossing" and "rebirth" in network literature. "Beginning" and "don't fall in love with the boss" are all adapted from the network literature works of the same name on the Jinjiang platform. At the beginning of the establishment of network literature, it has the characteristics of "crossing". The "rebirth article" is an important type of network literature creation. Its basic routine is to master the future password through "rebirth" and open the "golden finger", so as to "open" in the rebirth world. When the shuangwen of rebirth is used to solve personal gratitude and hatred and realize personal utilitarianism, it will inevitably make people feel shallow. However, when it is more and more connected with the plight of daily life, we seem to realize that "rebirth" may not be a daydream outside life, it may be the life we experience. In recent years, the development trend of network literature has turned to reality. There are fewer settings such as "outbreak" and "claiming the king". Respecting the logic of life and emphasizing the significance of each individual's happiness have become an important feature of the successful network literature in recent years. "Beginning" and other works are representatives of this. However, "crossing" and "rebirth" are still important elements in network literature, which seems to indicate that "crossing" and "rebirth" seemingly relying on "virtuality" may be part of the current reality. The fact seems to be the same. The "world" created by digital and virtual is becoming an indispensable part of our life. We shop, communicate, quarrel or establish intimate relationships in this "world", just like the world we live in. But at the same time, it is so digital, virtualized and even gamified that this "world" can be deleted and reconstructed, can be experienced many times, and can also be multi-dimensional interactive. Giddens of Britain once described the "reality inversion" in the period of high Modernity: the boundary between virtual reality and daily reality is becoming increasingly blurred. Even because the virtual reality experience is highly embedded in the daily reality, the actual real experience will be affected and modified by the virtual reality experience. People are more and more confused about what is virtual reality and what is the original daily reality. Virtual reality is becoming more and more daily, which is closely related to our emotions, desires, imagination and identity. Wagner of the United States uses "second life" to describe the new experience brought about by the Internet. At present, "second life" is more and more deeply involved in daily life and has become an inseparable part of our public consciousness. The "crossing" and "rebirth" of network literature is just an embodiment of the changes in the space-time experience of the Internet generation (generation Z and Generation M). This is also an important reason why the "crossing" and "rebirth" of webwriting are becoming more and more influential. "A twinkling star" is an original script. "You saved 10000 times" is adapted from the popular Korean cartoon "my boss dies once a day", but the online style is full. Some people even say that "the whole world has a taste of online literature". The recent Korean drama "my life again", the latest Hugo Award nominated novel "becoming the sun", and the new Hollywood film "instant the universe" all adopt the settings of "rebirth", "time cycle" and "parallel time and space". China's online writing is both a cause and a result. On the one hand, China's online writing has become an important representation of online generation experience in the context of globalization; On the other hand, the Internet generation is more and more inclined to accept stories with embedded virtual experience. "Time cycle" is no longer "science fiction" in the sense of future Utopia, but the reality we experience. In the "house" life state, the digital and virtual world has increasingly become the main way for us to experience and experience life. Managing intimate relationships, understanding world politics or choosing a lifestyle are inseparable from virtual means and experience. The starting mode of "time cycle" in the above film and television works is no longer a tall black technology, but a random mission, accident, SMS or mysterious curse and "messenger of the underworld", which shows that the virtual life is no longer a utopian science fiction that needs to be explained and explained, but has gone deep into the daily subconscious and unconscious fields. It's not in the future, it's in the present, it's not in the distance, it's in the corner where we curl up. "Time cycle" setting is the film and television expression of the daily "reality" of online students The setting of "time cycle" rose from network literature, and then became the main element of Chinese film and television expression in 2022. This is not an accident, but the overall trend of the increasingly networked world. Especially in recent years, the mobility restricted and suppressed by the real epidemic has been released in cyberspace. The "time cycle" of literariness and film and television is representing how the virtual space-time achieves the release of the Internet generation. As Internet users and users, the "second life" sometimes has a larger, richer and more diverse possibility than the space-time contact of real individuals. With the virtual "time cycle", college students who are "entangled" in real life can participate in public events (the beginning), women who are cut by real utilitarianism can relive the protection and aspirations of their youth (twinkling stars), and novices in the workplace can talk about their ideals (don't fall in love with the boss), Small clerks can establish intimate relationships with their rigid and conceited superiors (saved you 10000 times)... Just as the netizen onsoi said when commenting on Douban's "saved you 10000 times", "Time cycle is no longer a strange concept. Countless people have imagined what they can do with the super ability of time cycle. Just think about it. If you eat a big meal, your calories will go back to zero; if you spend recklessly, your account will be automatically restored; you can do whatever you want to do and say whatever you want to say. You can even make the boldest confession, and it doesn't matter if you are rejected. Although you can't keep it on file, at least you can Be yourself. " At the same time, it should be emphasized that "time cycle" is not a utopia that escapes from reality. Everyone who arrives here always brings their troubles with them. "The new experience of the online world brings new definitions and Reflections on the morality, emotion, business, culture and even law of the real world. The beginning inspires people to pay attention to the tragedy that happens to a small individual and family through cycles. Harassment and cyber violence are linked with death and explosion in repeated replays, so as not to let the "little evil" drown in the desert of time and people, but also to show the moral ability of ordinary people through the efforts of students and citizens. "A twinkling star" and "saved you 10000 times" show a variety of possibilities of intimate relationship in the circle of time, "true feelings" may be out of sight, "understanding" can transcend the class gap. If there are multiple worlds, then the "separation" can only be relative, "solidification" will inevitably be disintegrated. Everyone is a diverse existence, and the relationship between people will be more colorful. Qian Wei, who "never fall in love with the boss again", led a group of law students to practice the ideal of "those who obey the law, set points and stop fighting; those who obey the law, forgive good and avoid evil", just as jinxiyu in "my life again" wants to compete with "a system tailored for powerful people" "Time cycle" is both virtual and real; It is both fantasy and liberation. It is embedded in daily life and reconstructs reality by looking back at daily life. In the first half of 2022, online dramas are keen on the setting of "time cycle", which is a kind of film and television expression of daily "reality" of online generation. The self-defined "second life" will occupy a more and more important position in the self-expression of the new generation. Therefore, it is conceivable that there will only be more and more literary works and film and television works with similar settings.
