In order to follow the drama members and stay up late, many viewers often discuss the drama when waiting for updates. Why can TV dramas have such great charm, which can make countless viewers hang up and unable to get tired of them?
TV drama is an entertainment product, but it is also very exquisite from a psychological point of view. Because TV dramas are very suitable for people's psychological needs and are in line with people's psychological laws.
1. The story that has never been completed is the most memorable. People have an innate desire for completion, which is called psychologically "Zeigarnik effect" (Zeigarnik effect). This is a memory effect, which refers to people who are easily forgotten about completed and known results, but are deeply impressed by those things that are interrupted and unfinished in the middle. These unfinished things will be reminded to complete them in the subconscious mind. The TV series cleverly divides the story into multiple episodes, and often lays thoughts between two episodes. This made the audience chase down one episode after another in order to know the end until it was finally finished.
2. Projection Psychology: The protagonist is very similar to me. If we analyze it carefully, we will find that there is a kind of TV series that is particularly popular among the audience: the protagonists are all ordinary people, and with such shortcomings, they have been lucky enough to overcome various difficulties and reach the peak of life. The reason why this kind of plot is popular is that it is easy for the audience to feel introverted. The protagonist often has the same sorrow and joy as the protagonist, meeting the needs that cannot be met in reality. For example, the slap girl in the Korean drama "My Name is Kim San-song" and the family woman Hua Li turned into a strong girl in "My First Half of Life". These TV series cater to the public's psychological needs of desire for success, and the character setting can also arouse the audience's co-star.
3. Reduce the pressure: The story looks very pleasant. The plot of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is not complicated, and it is straightforward and simple compared to previous fairy tales. But it is this free computer drama that makes everyone feel more relaxed. There are a lot of discussions about this drama online, and there is a very frequent word in it, that is “ cool” In the play, the protagonist reported many times after being under pressure. The beautiful counterattacks made the audience feel very relieved and received a sense of excitement. In fact, this untiring way of thinking reflects people's depression and frustration in real life. People secretly desire unfair things like the protagonist, and this psychological need is well utilized by the script.
Pictures are just spiritual comfort, and we cannot escape real problems by immersing ourselves in entertainment. After all, the protagonist's solution is very small in real life. It may be more practical and effective to complain to people around you and ask for help if you have troubles and setbacks.
