The reality drama has recently appeared on a "Heart Residence", and it is a very surprising mix-and-match - Haiqing × Tong Yao.
Double-female dramas are commonplace, but their relationship this time is very special.
Played by the sister-in-law.
Although there were dramas about the relationship between sisters and sisters-in-law many years ago, most of them talked about "relationships" in terms of "relationships".
Parents in the short, at most mixed with a little dog blood, "cool feeling" is there, but there is no novelty.
But "Heart Residence", once it appears, it is different.
With "house", the "relationship" of the two heroines is strung together.
"House" is the biggest knot between the two heroines.
Tong Yao's "big sister" Gu Qingyu, who has a good education and outstanding appearance, is a white bone essence working in a top investment bank.
Just broke up with her ex-boyfriend and is 36 years old and not married.
She has a suite of her own, but she still wants to spend 20 million yuan to buy another one for herself.
And Haiqing's "sister-in-law" Feng Xiaoqin is a foreign daughter-in-law married to Shanghai, a typical housewife.
Feng Xiaoqin's life is always around the family, and most of the time in life is occupied by the family.
She also wants to buy a house, have her own independent space, and really take root in the big city.
But the economic conditions do not allow, buy more than 2 million second-hand houses, but also tighten the belt of pants.
So he threw up his husband and borrowed 1 million yuan from his rich sister Gu Qingyu.
It seemed reasonable, but Gu Qingyu refused the request to borrow money in person.
In Feng Xiaoqin's view, this is something that can't be thought of, and even a little "incomprehensible".
Behind this is the difference in the values of Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu.
Feng Xiaoqin did not study much, came to Shanghai very early to work hard, married Gu Lei to become a housewife, her cognition is limited.
In Feng Xiaoqin's eyes, Gu Qingyu can make money so much, borrow some money to buy a house for her brother's family, where there are so many difficulties.
And Gu Qingyu did not borrow money, not because he had no money, but because he had other concerns in his heart:
Now Feng Xiaoqin lives with the Gu family, and can also help take care of her parents, if she moves out to live, maybe she will leave it alone.
Moreover, once he moved out and bought a new house, Feng Xiaoqin took over his brother and sister to live in, which would affect the lives of Gu Lei and the "little tiger".
Are the two of them at fault? That's right. But the ass determines the head, and the asymmetry of the two people's growth background, life experience, and even wealth intensifies the contradiction of the sister-in-law.
And this difference is reflected in many details in the play.
For example, just after the start of the broadcast, it was hotly discussed, "true and false LV scarf".
The birthday gift that Feng Xiaoqin prepared for Gu Qingyu was a scarf knitted by herself.
In order to look tall, Feng Xiaoqin spent a few dollars to buy a fake LV logo and attached it to a scarf.
Embarrassingly, when Gu Qingyu went home for dinner, he also brought gifts to his family.
Given to his younger brother Gu Lei (Feng Xiaoqin's husband), it was an authentic LV scarf.
The scarf sent by Feng Xiaoqin was accepted by Gu Qingyu in the face of affection, but it was not long before he gave it to the hourly workers at home.
There is also a detail, that is, Gu Qingyu's gift to her father, which is a pair of glasses of a well-known brand.
But before Gu Father's glasses were broken, Feng Xiaoqin was not willing to buy new ones, and directly used universal glue to help her father-in-law repair her glasses.
The different personalities of the two heroines are clear at a glance.
Feng Xiaoqin, everything "can be saved, the province", but do not want to lose face, live a little depressed.
Gu Qingyu, on the other hand, is generous and generous, and does not worry about money, but it is easy to take into account the emotions of others.
The two roles with such a contrast are played very accurately by Tong Yao and Haiqing.
For example, Gu Qingyu has two sides to his body.
Side A is the elite of the workplace who is the only side, while side B is for ordinary women with family and emotional troubles.
When in the company, Gu Qingyu was at ease, exuding the temperament of a queen from the inside out.
And Tong Yao's aura is also held, whether it is facing colleagues or usually seeing customers, he can perfectly control the field.
But in daily life, Gu Qingyu is "down to the mortal".
Faded away the powerful shell in the company, revealing a grounded side.
Will be because of the trivial chores of the original family headaches, wavering.
She will also worry about her first love boyfriend Shi Yuan (Feng Shaofeng), who always refuses to let go of herself and waits for Shi Yuan to come to her.
Some of the emotions in the play, Tong Yao handled very delicately.
For example, after re-encountering with Shi Yuan, the surprise in his eyes, and he did not know how to face the dilemma of the deceased.
Getting along with Zhan Xiang (Zhang Songwen) is very well grasped.
Although he knew that Zhan Xiang had feelings for himself, he also took the initiative to send flower gifts on his birthday.
But she only regards Zhan Xiang as a friend, and repeatedly rejects his pursuit, which is very clear in life.
Hui and Zhan Xiang revealed their hearts and told him the secret of wanting to "fake marriage" in order to buy a house, but there would be no crossing the line, and Zhan Xiang would always be treated as a "male girlfriend".
And Haiqing also performed the complexity of Feng Xiaoqin.
Feng Xiaoqin, who is meticulous in everything, has a strong desire to control her husband and children, but she herself is completely unaware.
When Feng Xiaoqin learned that her husband had not taken the class she had arranged, she was furious, and her eyes and tone were full of anger.
She learned that Gu Qingyu did not want to lend her money, and she also held a small meeting with her family to tell her that she had a grudge in her heart that could not be contained.
Such two completely different women, equivalent to living in two worlds, if it were not for the relationship between the sister-in-law, there would be no intersection at all, it is conceivable that under the same roof, the two sides will never fight less.
And because of Gu Lei's unexpected death, the contradiction between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu was pushed to the peak.
Even to the point of irreconcilability.
Gu Lei went to chase Feng Xiaoqin, who was about to run away from home, before rolling down the stairs and saving the world in vain.
Because of this, Feng Xiaoqin became the target of everyone.
But Feng Xiaoqin in turn blamed Gu Qingyu, because she provoked her relationship with Gu Lei from it, and indirectly killed her brother.
And Gu Qingyu also felt that Gu Lei's departure was also responsible for his father's blame.
This scene is a small climax in the play, and the long-term confrontation between Haiqing and Tong Yao is silent, but it is very shocking. At that moment all conflicts were pushed to the extreme.
When you see Feng Xiaoqin's sadness and helplessness, Gu Qingyu's hostility and indignation, you will suddenly understand: In fact, everyone has a reason for who, everyone has no easy, this is the real life, there is no right or wrong, only a chicken feather day after day.
And women's resilience is to continue to move forward after encountering a chicken feather.
The heroine in the play is constantly being refined and growing.
After her husband left, Feng Xiaoqin experienced a period of depression, but soon perked up.
She struggled to find a job opportunity and began to try to deliver food.
Although the process was not smooth, when I first started delivering food, I almost had a car accident, but I was soon on the right track.
Later, Feng Xiaoqin and Zhan Xiang set up a nursing home together, and their career gradually improved.
And Gu Qingyu, because of his brother's death, was depressed, had no intention of working, and did not have the domineering spirit that he had been fierce in the workplace before.
But after returning from a business trip in Beijing, Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan reunited again, and the conversation between the two of them opened their hearts and opened Gu Qingyu's heart knot.
Gu Qingyu no longer always looks "invincible", and is willing to put energy into feelings and start a new life.
Drama is often artistically processed, but "Heart Residence" is particularly realistic.
The problems and troubles encountered by Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu in their lives are also encountered by women in many big cities.
For example, in the siege of marriage, whether to give yourself independent space, and for example, how to make trade-offs in the choice of career and relationship.
These questions, the play does not give a perfect standard answer, but with the character's every move, let people understand a little bit: how to live, in order not to screw, how to do, in order to achieve inner self-consistency.
In a big family, there is friction and dispute, which is a very normal thing.
Especially in the relationship between sister-in-law and mother-in-law, there will inevitably be some natural antagonisms.
And more than the disputes caused by the house, the contradiction is even more imminent.
But "Heart Residence" does not overly render the gap between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu, but uses the "house" as a guide.
What I want to convey in the end is, how can we make life more smooth and have a more harmonious relationship?
Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu were both obsessed with the house at the beginning.
Feng Xiaoqin, who wants to get rid of her identity as a housewife, wants to use the house as a breathing space.
For Gu Qingyu, the house is a nostalgia for the first love.
But later, their obsession with the house gradually disappeared.
With that, they lived more open-mindedly and transparently.
The original Feng Xiaoqin, more like a traditional Chinese daughter-in-law, thinks about everything for the sake of the family, is afraid that the children will not have enough to eat and wear, and worry that the husband will not grow up.
On the contrary, after her husband left, she finally found herself, no longer trapped in the family, had a new career, and found a new direction.
And Gu Qingyu, at a glance, is the typical independent woman, who works her own and does not rely on men.
But after the original love boyfriend Shi Yuan appeared, the little girl in her heart who did not understand the world was reawakened. Begin to unload the heart defense, pull off the thorns on the body, lower the posture, and open new feelings.
The two women of "Heart Residence", one is a sister who seems to be indifferent, but in fact, she takes her family as the bottom line everywhere; the other is a daughter-in-law who writes "changing her destiny" on her face all the time, but always cannot get rid of the identity of a "foreigner".
There is a saying that the true value of a person comes from two places, family and work.
In these two places, people can feel needed and feel their own value.
Therefore, the core of the series is not "fighting", but like the title, the two women are doing their best to find a place to live for their hearts.
How to find it?
The original author Teng Xiaolan mentioned "peace of mind" more than once in the novel, which is also the ultimate appeal of the sister-in-law and sister-in-law. What Feng Xiaoqin wants is a small day when the family of three is independent; Gu Qingyu wants someone who can match her and love.
In order to find a place of heart, they with their own flexibility or perseverance, embarked on a road of no return, just like every post-80s woman, there must be a kind of bravery that no matter how life treats me, I still smile at life.
The house can give people a sense of security, but without a warm house is just reinforced concrete, the real happiness lies in how much space there is in the heart.
