The “Sea and Fashion” series and the lack of a coherent script/ unable to portray a true picture of today’s society

Fars News Agency, TV Group: Years ago, in the sixties, seventies and early eighties, we had serials on various TV channels that are still in the minds of Iranian people. The works whose repeated broadcasts from a network like “iFilm” are still successful in attracting the audience and have more viewers than many new TV series.

* Lack of “story”, the reason for the failure of many series

Perhaps it can be said that reasons such as not using successful figures in the field of serial production, dealing with some interesting social subjects in a tasteful way, not supporting famous artists and not paying attention to a valuable element called “story” in the serials of the last few years of Sima are the biggest reasons. It is the failure of most TV series in recent years. Currently, major serial production companies have published their production line model in real and animated series.

They do industrial work so they give the filmmaker a subject to create a script from. Our audience today is very knowledgeable. He sees the works of the world. We all know that even if we spend the most money, if the foundation of the work, which is the script, is not strong, it will not produce results.

The lack of success of TV series has made us come to the conclusion that there is still no place for professionals to create standard, luxurious and valuable works in the national media. On the other hand, people are supposed to see the reflection of their life concerns in these series and get to know new experiences and spaces.

Now we have to judge how close the productions of the national media in the last few years, especially in the field of serialization, are to these two goals and how well they have the right mechanism in terms of theme, execution and most importantly in the production cycle.

* About the series “Sea and Fashion”

Among the fall TV series, “Jazer and Mod” series, produced by Mohsen Tawakalfard and directed by Ali Abdul Alizadeh, has been aired as a comedy series on the TV channel Do, and these nights we are witnessing the broadcast of its final episodes.

“Jazer and Mad” is the story of a man named “Latif” who is of southern origin and lives in Tehran with his wife and child, but when they put a cap on his head and take his house, he inevitably returns to Ahvaz and his father’s house. to organize his life again. In the meantime, his son Saeed falls in love with a southern girl and goes through many adventures to reach her.

*Lack of coherent and attractive script

“Jazer and Mod” tries to deal with issues such as employment, youth marriage, environment, family, fast-paying jobs, entrepreneurship, etc. in a happy atmosphere.

Also, the discussion of reverse migration from Tehran to Khuzestan province and expressing the native capacities of the province, especially the cities of Mahshahr and Sarbandar in a happy and fun atmosphere, was one of the goals of this series, but unfortunately, due to the same problem of serial production, i.e. the lack of a strong and attractive script, it could not satisfy the audience. The poor quality of the series and its jokes could not fill the void of a funny comedy series on TV.

* The only strength of the series

It is a good thing that filmmakers leave Tehran. When the foundation for the production of a dramatic work is laid in a province, the officials of that province prefer the construction process to proceed in such a way that all capabilities, abilities, capacities, visual attractions and sightseeing spots and even tourism of that province are included in the narrative of the stories. and “Jazer and Mad” has done well in this regard, even the issue of the vegetation of Khuzestan province, which grows many medicinal plants, has been depicted in this series at the same time as portraying the relationship between the characters and the way the stories are told in a relatable way. It is one of the few positive points of this work.

*Inability to portray a true picture of today’s society

The geography of the story of “Sea and Fashion” and the type of its characters are as if for two decades ago. The audience is reminded of the 70s by watching the jokes and the relationships of the characters, and such “Jezer and Mod” rejects the audience due to its inability to portray a real image of today’s society and wants to rely only on the improvisations of its main characters such as Saeed and Own and rely on the popularity of the comedian to make people laugh and the experience of Nasrullah Radesh to make the audience laugh, which fails in practice.

In the end, it should be said that although the filmmaker’s words about the difficult conditions of production during the Corona era and financial problems on the way to the production of provincial series exist, none of these are acceptable excuses to cover the excessive weaknesses of the script, and the series “Jazer and Mod” is sloppy and wandering. Is.
