Watching TV itself is a recreational activity, but it seems that many netizens like to turn on the double speed mode when watching videos. Don't they even have time to chase dramas? 'how tense is the time for contemporary young people? They need to turn on double speed when watching a play. Recently, a netizen made such an exclamation on Weibo.
In thousands of forwarded comments, netizens all have similar ideas - "can't drive faster and can't adapt to it" because there's no three times and four times of playback. ". I don't know when the "double speed" has become the "standard match" for many young people.
I want to watch too many dramas and spend too little time
'I usually drive twice as fast, and when I see something nice, I'll go back to the original speed and see it again. 'said Li Yan, a young man watching the play.
Turn on the video software, and you can always see the function of "double speed" when you play a TV play. From 0.5 times the speed, the maximum can be 2 times. And some software that can't play at double speed can also be realized by downloading various plug-ins.
'double speed' can change the speed of playback. If there is a one hour play, you can watch it in 30 minutes at twice the speed of opening. It can be extended to a play, and you can watch 40 episodes of TV play in 20 episodes, which shortens many watching times. Faster playback does not miss important plots.
When it comes to the reasons for faster playback, many people say that they want to watch too many plays, but they can use too little time for a long time. The fast pace of life and the mobile and fragmented way of receiving information make people impatient to catch up with a play. Getting more information in a short time has become people's demand for drama.
In the 2018 China TV series industry report released in April this year, the data shows that the total number of TV series projects in 2017 is more than 465, with an average of 39.8 episodes. Since 2011, three or four hundred TV series can be broadcast every year. In the fragmented time, it will take a lot of time to watch so many episodes.
On the social network, there are some "popular" TV plays that often have a variety of hot topic discussions from the start. If you don't pay attention, you may lose the common topic with everyone. So there are many people who choose to swipe the show with double speed in a short time in order to follow the trend. Many netizens said that in a day and a half, they could finish 76 episodes of "Legend of Zhen Huan" and 70 episodes of "Yanxi strategy".
Does the double speed affect the plot? 'in fact, the double speed is exaggerated. The speed of 1.5 times and 1.25 times are just right. The protagonists' expressions and actions can be seen clearly, and their speaking speed is normal, which will not delay the development of the plot. "Li Yan said.
Double speed playback can save time and become a way for people to check whether the show is good or not. If the story is not wonderful and the dialogue is not attractive, the audience can quickly choose to abandon the play.
After changing the speed of play, there will be a magical 'ghost animal' effect, so many people will specially set the speed of play to increase the entertainment of watching the drama. For example, there is often a '1.5-speed zone' on the website of bilibilibili and 'with 2-speed play, the eating effect is better'.
Long series, slow action and slow action
A domestic play that must be watched more quickly?
In addition to the shorter and shorter play time, the length and content quality of plays are also important reasons for people's speed. A lot of people say that their speed is usually due to the slow and repetitive narrative rhythm of TV series.
Compared with the fast narration of British and American dramas, Chinese dramas usually pay more attention to details, and the conversation speed of characters is relatively slow. And now the growing number of TV series makes this problem more and more prominent.
Nowadays, the production cost of TV series is increasing. In order to obtain higher profits, the series of TV series begin to lengthen gradually. When the small content of the original novel can't support such a long number of episodes, TV dramas tend to choose "water injection".
Many times, in order to lengthen the number of episodes and gather the plot, some domestic dramas are often filled with a large number of flashbacks and useless dialogues. "Memory killing" was originally a means to promote the development of the plot, but half of the episodes in one episode were recalled, and the patient audience would choose to play it at a faster speed.
And in some love idol dramas, in order to show the development of men's and women's emotions, there will be a large number of abuse of slow motion, "start the MV mode whenever you move, and I am willing to drive three times faster. 'netizen a Xu said:' these slow action plots have no meaning, just want me to keep fast forward. '
Although in the past two years, the domestic TV series has made great progress in the aspect of service, but the content is still 'routine', the audience can guess the end at the beginning, watch the whole course 1.5 times faster, and occasionally drag the progress bar with 2.0, and don't worry about what will be missed. '
Some video software even launched the "watch only" function to satisfy the audience to watch only the stars they like or only the part of the main plot. The awkward acting of some actors also makes the audience call for fast forward, and makes' double speed + drag progress bar 'a common mode for many people to watch plays.
Can you go back after seeing twice the speed?
Nowadays, people's watching plays has become a "busy and disordered" activity: normal content needs 1.5 times of speed, procrastinating content needs two times of speed, irrelevant content even needs to be skipped, and when encountering wonderful places, they have to go back to the original speed.
Some netizens said that after watching a play with double speed, they are often 'addicted' and 'not used to it without double speed'. 'after watching the double speed play for a long time, it's like a slow motion to talk to your friends normally, so reading books also needs to be adapted slowly.
Even though 'double speed' won't make the audience's understanding of the plot deviate too much, many details, dialogues and scenes in the audio and video after double speed will become 'exaggerated', and the performance details will flash quickly, often unable to feel the emotion that the creator really wants to convey. In the long run, the audience is used to the fast and high-density information, can they accept the TV series of "slow pace, slow work and meticulous work"?
For example, in the recently popular legend of Ruyi, there is a segment in which Chen Chong's empress ulanala, after drinking medicine, confesses her deathbed advice to her unwitting niece, Qing Ying. The empress is dignified and attentive, with tears in her eyes. In the mode of fast broadcast, the audience only hears lines, and some subtle expressions may not be detected. The fate reflected in this scene The heavy emotions are much less.
However, there are also some TV series, the story is closely linked, the dialogue serves for the plot and characters, and the audience will choose the original speed.
For example, for the TV series Langya bang, which has gained high reputation before, ah Xu said: 'although the plot rhythm is slow, the plot and the performance of the actors are very attractive to me. '
Although double speed is the normal, but in more cases, people often choose to play at double speed out of frustration. As many netizens said in their comments, their time is precious, but they are looking forward to a good play that they don't want to miss.
