Drama Review: A glimpse into the hidden rules of the industry in the British drama "Flack"

"Target", "hype"...

When an entertainment news comes out, it is often accompanied by such words. While entertaining the public, it also makes you doubt. This is true or false.

Just like Hunan Satellite TV's "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves", as the program is broadcast, the gossips of many sisters are also revealed, as small as a look, as large as a stance, all details are magnified .

However, too much hype has made people's expectations for the show lower and lower, at least now it is no longer as popular as when it first aired.

The British drama "Public Relations" showed the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry behind the camera one by one. After "Wow", I said with emotion, "So that's how it is, it's all a routine."

"Public Relations Flack" currently has two seasons, each season has 6 episodes, short and concise, one episode is equivalent to three episodes of a domestic drama.

The heroine Robin is a senior expert in the public relations industry. The story begins with a football star having an affair in a hotel.

She went to solve the problem. Not only did she provide first aid on the spot, but she also gave Xiao, the dater who had caught the star’s hand, a stake in the relationship. She threatened and added inducements, and she covered up a big scandal with three steps, five divided by two. .

And there is also a complete strategy for how to deal with it in the future, so that the star can announce his marriage immediately. Well, the good news of the marriage has overshadowed the gay scandal, and the star's crisis is over.

Immediately afterwards, another handsome national chef with a perfect personality was exposed in a scandal, and Robin only had one day to deal with it. Robin's strategy is to remove the chef's wife and reveal that she is sick. The chef will accompany her to see a doctor and get through the difficulties, highlighting the chef's family character and shifting the focus of the conflict.

Even if the chef’s wife wants to divorce immediately after knowing the facts, Robin can understand the situation and use a woman’s empathy to make her cooperate with the scene and make enough money from the role of the chef’s wife in the future. If you want to get the benefits, then divorce generously and divide more family property.

It’s hard not to think about the efficiency and reality of this public relations.

Take the recent wedding news of celebrities as an example. With just a group photo and a Weibo account, the celebrity wives were clearly picked apart by netizens who followed the clues, leaving only the white, rich and beautiful image. The title of "fishing for girls" and the irony of "King of Heaven Training Class".

Of course, a lawyer’s letter did not stop everyone, it just gave more reasons for joking and ridicule.

And in my favorite Douban group, I am often gossiped about by various celebrities. There are revelations about expired Amway. It seems that if you talk too much, everyone will believe that it is true. .

Looking back now, there are probably many public relations companies and brokerage companies operating in it. For example, "people are as pale as chrysanthemums", "don't fight, don't grab", "peak appearance"...

Not to mention the operation of clearly marked prices such as hot searches on Weibo. Content that is indifferent and has no news value has become a hot search. Maybe what we really need to do is to cover up the negative news that we don’t want the public to know.

Robin in the play is a strong woman type with excellent work ability, but a strong woman also has her own troubles. The influence of her native family is engraved in her bones, and her only relative, her sister, is also a piece of cake.

The heroine looks very powerful, and she can handle those weird and bottomless clients at work, but she can’t live her own life well, and even has a habit of taking drugs. She really can’t be called a perfect one. main character. But the multi-faceted character also makes the character more three-dimensional.

Most of the characters in this drama are female. In the public relations company, from the female boss to the female intern, everyone has a different personality. As the saying goes, three women perform one drama. These women are in the same role. Together, it's really interesting.

Well, through this drama, the one person I can still think of is Yang Tianzhen. She pushed the agent who was originally standing behind the star to the front, although I don’t understand her. Real characters, but I know that many of the characters she created for celebrities, many of them turned upside down.
