Screenwriter Wang Hailin: "Little Fresh Meat" feels ashamed. This is a good sign

Young actors began to feel ashamed or even scared about the image of "little fresh meat", and even fans also had this emotion. This was a positive reaction-indicating that stars who only rely on their looks and sell their designs will no longer be the darling of the film and television industry.

Young actors began to feel ashamed or even scared about the image of "little fresh meat", and even fans also had this emotion. This was a positive reaction-indicating that stars who only rely on their looks and sell their designs will no longer be the darling of the film and television industry.

When during the two sessions this year, several members named and criticized the young meat for being unprofessional, fans of the young meat kept leaving messages on various media platforms, asking the seniors in the entertainment industry which young meat they were talking about, lest their own "love beans" be covered by this already stigmatized word. Even in order to prove that "Aidou" was not the type of star named and criticized by the committee members, fans of different "little fresh meat" began to attack each other.

It may seem like a farce, but it is actually a good phenomenon-the so-called "little fresh meat" is now afraid that others will call him "little fresh meat". Today, this word is avoided by young performing stars, not because the outside world stigmatizes it, but because of the people with this label themselves. This is why "little fresh meat" is today tied together with "sky-high pay","playing big names","disrespecting seniors" and "poor acting skills". This image is created by a combination of their own bad behavior and social discourse.

But today, young actors are beginning to feel ashamed and even afraid of this image, and even fans have this emotion. This is a positive reaction-showing that stars who only rely on their looks and sell their designs without good works will No longer be the darling of the film and television industry. Actors who have already become famous are unwilling to carry this slightly dirty label anymore, which at least shows that they still have the ambition to move forward and feel ashamed.

Judging from the market's reaction, the model of "small fresh meat"+ big IP is not a panacea. The failure of film and television dramas such as "Summer has Qiao Mu and Elegant Hope to Paradise" has confirmed this point in terms of box office and ratings. Film and television creation is very complex. Major film and television production companies in Hollywood have various mature models, but they also have ups and downs with successes and failures. It is true that successful works have their own inherent laws. The top industry insiders in the pyramid are exploring them, but the core thing is always the story-and definitely not the appearance. Even if it occasionally becomes a selling point, it is by no means the most important thing.

Face value and shape may attract attention in the short term because these things have low thresholds, but copying in large quantities in the short term will not work. For example, in the "Tiny Times" series, the story itself is weak, but through the exaggerated character shapes and so-called distinctive characters, it satisfies an aesthetic of the urban-rural junction and the imagination of young people in small towns about urban life. Despite this, this series still showed a decline in box office and public opinion feedback. Through some data analysis, we can find that if the technical threshold is not high, the pattern of consuming small fresh meat will definitely decline.
