The remake of the national drama and the adaptation of the car are nothing new.
But I didn't expect that this time I would use a knife on the head of my treasure.
According to the news - the domestic will be remake of "My Genius Girlfriend"
The story is set in Shanghai, and the heroine will be cast in the post-95 flower.
The drama has not been remade, but the video website has first introduced genuine resources.
Respect the original enough?
As a result, Piao has not had time to see if the positive film is missing two pounds, and the light poster has disgusted me again:
"Plastic Girlfriend"
"Sisterly Feud"
"The Italian version of July and Ansheng"
I believe that friends who have watched "My Genius Girlfriend" can empathize:
Such propaganda copywriting is simply a criminal act!
Today, it is necessary to open the wheat in civilization:
Why is the domestic drama not suitable for remake of "My Genius Girlfriend"?
Because they're not "plastic girlfriends."
"My Genius Girlfriend" takes place in a poor urban area in Naples, Italy.
The story seems to be far away from us, but the average score of 9.5+ in the three seasons of Douban is enough to prove that its emotional core has long surpassed nationality and ethnicity.
What makes countless women have a common emotional resonance is:
Between two women, spanning half a century long, complex and delicate female friendship.
Friendship, like love, begins with attraction, appreciation and admiration.
In Lennon's view, Lila was her genius girlfriend.
When they were children, both Lennon and Lila excelled, but Lila could always easily surpass Lennon.
But Lennon is hardworking and well-behaved, while Lila is a "bad girl" that no one at school likes.
When no one dared to challenge the boys in the class, Lila picked up the stone and threw it at them.
Lila's untamed, confrontational energy completely attracted Lennon.
Lila was like a shining, mysterious and dangerous light that awakened Lennon's desire to get out of this violent urban area that seemed to be eroded by locusts.
She shines like a warrior
I think she's so pretty
I remember that's when I realized
If I keep following her and following her steps
My mother's lameness didn't threaten me
I had to be like her
In this poor and violent community, the daughters of a shoemaker, the daughters of a porter, if they are not careful, they may become their ancestors.
Lennon had a father who was determined to let her go to school, and Lila was not as lucky as Lennon.
Lila's father thinks that a girl, why should she study?
Lila's resistance made a father who was out of control throw her directly out of the stairs.
Even if Lila dropped out of school, the strength in her body still attracted Lennon.
When the gangster Solara brothers dragged girls around to their cars for a "ride", all the girls of the same age regarded it as an "honor" in ignorance.
Only Lila, whether she is studying or working, she always has a force against patriarchal society.
I have to work, I have to make money
Otherwise they will play with you in applause
It takes money to escape this place
To make money, you have to work
When they tried to pull Lennon into the car, Lila protected Lennon.
She took out a knife and pressed it against his throat without the slightest hesitation.
Anyone would believe that, one second slower, she would really poke him in the throat.
Lila was forced to marry a wealthy local merchant, a sacrificial marriage, and the only luck was that she was able to buy books for Lennon.
On the day of the wedding, Lila encouraged Lennon, who could continue his schooling, to continue his studies.
It turned out that in Lila's eyes, Lennon was Lila's genius girlfriend.
They are each other's genius girlfriends.
Are their feelings jealous?
There are, and they have been with them all their lives.
Their friendship is a complex mixture of love and jealousy.
After dropping out of school, Lennon, who has been reading, is her spiritual inspiration in this hopeless cage.
In Lennon's mind, Lila had always been so shining.
Lila, who has become Mrs. Kuo, does not have to do anything, but can have a luxurious apartment, and she wears a gorgeous suit, easily attracting the attention of men throughout the city.
What is she still fighting?
It was also because of Lila that Lennon began to seriously see the women living in this city for the first time:
Those middle-aged women who bargain in the street day after day, with tired faces; mothers who scold children and have a vicious expression; neighbor mothers whose husbands are in prison and who support the family alone.....
She finally understood Lila's resistance and re-identified her future coordinates on Lila.
She doesn't want to be like our mothers, neighbors, or relatives, losing the best qualities of being a woman, which are consumed by their husbands, fathers, brothers, and they end up like these men. Do these transitions begin with pregnancy? Or did it start with doing housework and being abused?
They are jealous of each other and even have a clear curse.
But they never let their jealousy burn to the point of ruining each other, instead they kept making each other happen.
Their jealousy is also to recognize themselves in each other and try to get closer to each other's best qualities.
Because they're not plastic sisters tearing × for scumbags
"Genius Girlfriend" certainly isn't.
In fact, "July and Ansheng", which is analogous, is not either.
For this movie from 6 years ago, the memories of many passers-by stay in the most "gimmicky" plot:
Plastic friendship of "tearing × for scumbags".
But on the contrary, this is the most irrelevant plot of the core of this movie.
The man in this movie is just a tool man from beginning to end, just an embellishment of their friendship.
In "July and Ansheng", July and Ansheng met when they were young, so good that they ate at home together, so good that they touched each other's breasts when they took a bath together.
July has a happy family, quiet and well-behaved, Ansheng has not been taken care of since childhood, and July's home is also her home.
Growing up, they coincidentally fell in love with the same boy, Jiaming.
In July, she came to Beijing and saw An Sheng and Jia Ming returning to Ming's residence together.
The famous scene of the whole movie.
An Sheng looked at the angry July in front of him and said contemptuously:
"Jiaming is no longer here, why do you keep pretending?"
You, who are gentle and understanding on the surface, have long wanted to tear me up.
July also said, you don't pretend.
In this world, no one in this world loves you except me.
They all stabbed each other with the most accurate and hurtful words.
She gave the stolen earrings to July's parents, a man who was out there and was more well-behaved than their daughter in front of July's parents.
Is she "pretending"?
Since she was a child, she has no family, and she does not care about anything to hide her fear of loss.
The two hurt each other until they break each other's masks.
Ansheng, who had always been smiling and giggling, finally burst into irrepressible tears, "Why did we become like this?"
July looked at Ansheng's tears and squatted on the ground, crying heart-rending.
This scene, the mouth is talking about men, but in fact, it is not about men, but about this friendship and the self hidden behind.
What they hate is the one who has never been able to be their true self.
In the end, they finally calmed down.
It's not because Jiaming didn't end up with them, but July and Ansheng finally started their lives again, saying frankly:
I hated you
But I only have you
In "My Genius Girlfriend", Lila and Lennon also fell in love with the same man, Nino.
Nino slag is scum, but in their original circle, it is a different existence, a sign of "escape".
But scumbags are not their light, only they can be each other's own light.
When Lennon learns that Nino, whom she has loved since childhood, is crazy for Lila, she is jealous.
But what she cared about was not Nino, but her ordinary self, neither shining as Lila nor escaping from the city.
What am I and who am I? I felt like I was getting prettier again, no pimples anymore, and the sun and the sea made me slimmer, but the people I liked, the people I wanted to please, didn't show me the slightest interest. What exactly is fate and me joking about? I think the city I live in is like a whirlpool, and trying to get out of there is simply delusional.
Because they don't understand female friendship at all
Why can't I remake it?
First, it cannot take place in the fashionable, urban symbol of Shanghai or the old Shanghai.
According to the news, the location of the remake version of the domestic drama is set in Shanghai.
"My Genius Girlfriend" is essentially a story about two small-town girls who struggle with patriarchy, poverty, and destiny.
As in the Neapolitan Tetralogy, Lennon says:
"My whole life is just a vulgar struggle to improve my social status."
Second, the female friendship in "My Genius Girlfriend" has gone beyond the definition of "friendship" in the general sense.
Their friendships string together the female fates and female group portraits of women at different ages and different eras.
Its background color is moisturizing and silent feminism.
Lila's husband, Stefano's sister, Pinocchia's past, does not have much of a role in the play.
Her Stefano family is a local upstart, and when her brother Stefano got married, he invited people from all over the city, and the house and car were ready for him.
And sister Pinocchia got married and had almost nothing.
She had been beautiful since she was a child, and the only husband she could choose in this city was the son of a shoemaker who did business with her brother.
We want a wedding like Lila's
A house next to the railway
But Mom just gave us her bedroom
Stefano pretended to be poor in front of me
But she spent money on her wife
In other words, the topic in domestic dramas is "son preference".
The short sentences that appear only once in the play have already made clear the fate of even the daughters of rich people in this urban area.
The secret rules of patriarchy in the old town, the feminist movement that Lennon encountered in his 30s...
The change of women's concept at each stage is flowing and appearing in the depth of the still water.
It is conceivable that the "feminism" in the domestic drama remake of "My Genius Girlfriend".
It can only be a dramatic conflict, a character label of "son preference", or a golden sentence that tickles the boots.
Don't dare touch the truth.
Why pick a script with edges and angles?
But the more core problem is also the copy on the publicity poster after the introduction of the genuine version:
In domestic dramas, we don't seem to deserve to see real and delicate female friendships.
Or it's overly idealized flat female friendships.
For example, in "Flowing Golden Years", the female friendship between Liu Shishi and Ni Ni, both of them go to the soup for each other, but it is not clear what the foundation of their friendship is;
The female friendships in urban dramas such as "Ode to Joy" and "Thirty Only" are based on idealized class differences.
Otherwise, it is the possibility of erasing female friendships.
Yan Yiyan Yue has a subtle body metaphor in "Talk Show Conference".
When female friends appear on posters, they already hurt each other:
Let's look at the style of male friendship.
When a male friend appears on a poster, it goes like this:
This difference lies in the stereotype:
Female Friendship is a palace fight series, a plastic friendship that is the heart machine for a man.
And male friendship is sunny, two ribs inserted knives, frankly walking in all directions.
The absence of friendship between women is an old lie passed down from generation to generation in patriarchal societies.
As it is said in "Misogyny":
In a society dominated by male same-sex social sexual desires, friendship between women is not established in principle. Because, all women belong to men and are potential competitors to each other.
Other words:
Men shape status through power and wealth, while women can only worship and compete for such men to confirm their status.
They fear that women will become a community of destiny, so they transform the misogynistic spearhead into women.
In such a lie, women not only have no friendship between them, but can only kill each other.
Anyway, as long as one old and one small
Two women appeared on television at the same time
One is just playing the other
Whether it is "My Genius Girlfriend" or the domestic youth's "July and Ansheng", there are delicate female emotional characteristics in it.
These delicate female friendships are not established by whether they tear up or not, whether they go to the soup for each other, but by shooting three-dimensional female images and showing their dilemmas and struggles as women's common destiny.
Because the subtlety and beauty of female friendship is also that it reflects the painful and struggling self.
There is mutual aid and solidarity, and there is also the loneliness of the individual.
In the third season, Lennon finally wrote a book during the long period of fertility and housework, and she wanted To get Lila's approval.
Lila thought it was a bad book.
But she paused, then said bitterly:
"If you're not good, who am I?"
That's why we're angry.
They dare not shoot the edges and corners, and also try to stigmatize;
They can't tell the truth, but they try to fool them into thinking that we only deserve to eat this garbage.
Such a domestic remake that destroys the classics really doesn't want it.
