During the National Day holiday, a web drama "My Babylonian Lover", which had been backlogged for three years, successfully attracted attention. Yi Xuanjun rushed to the high opening score of Douban 7.7, and the result was that it could not be stopped when it was opened...
At first, when I saw Feng Xiaoyue's face, I thought it was a Taiwanese idol drama, but I didn't expect the plot to scare people to death.
The female protagonist asked the male protagonist to apologize. The male protagonist said: "If you apologize sincerely, you must sacrifice an internal organ." "Holding his sword high, he prepared to strike at his stomach.
The heroine was frightened and quickly said, "No, just use your mouth." The male protagonist immediately cut his mouth with his sword.
What a drama!
The heroine Chen Meiru, the royal sister of the workplace, 24 years old has been in the company's orders up and down do not dare to follow, the boss will have to smile at her. The character design is already very tough, and the story line given to her by the screenwriter is that she plays herself miserable.
The story begins when she was 12 years old, when she was a young girl in Huaichun, Chen Meiru wrote in her diary the love story of her and the ancient Babylonian mixed-race prince Murong Jaylen.
By the time she was 24 years old, the prince appeared alive in front of her. "Chen Meiru, I am your prince."
In the diary, Chen Meiru set up the prince's character as: Xiao Yong is good at war, handsome and wild, only born to love her, but did not think about what he made a living for. But when Murong Jaylen, who wore small dirty braids, wore armor, and held a sword, came to Chen Meiru's side, ignored the rules of society, and fell with his sword without a word, creating a disaster scene...
Chen Meiru realized how much trouble she had caused herself. The problem was that she couldn't send the prince away yet.
The prince was born of a diary, and what she said was the original words written in her diary: "It is your destiny to be with me", "You must accept my love and my protection", "I am born to love you"...
12-year-old Chen Meiru's dream came true, and 24-year-old Chen Meiru was too bad.
But how bad she is, how happy the audience across the screen is, the famous scenes of sand sculptures one after another, laughing at the dead.
Murong Jaylen picked up the fish tank and brought it to his mouth, when he was hungry, you wanted to swallow the goldfish raw? No!
He was going to wipe Chen Meiru's feet! This is the highest courtesy for him to surrender.
The prince will not eat casually, even if he is extremely hungry, he will abide by the rules of the royal family, and only eat five bites of a dish to avoid being poisoned.
As a result, he ate more than a pig and ate twenty bowls of noodles in one meal.
In addition to a prince who wrote his love for her into his DNA, Chen Meiru also added drama to herself in her diary, fabricating a beautiful and tragic love enemy - a nine-day dragon girl with a unique appearance and the ability to call the wind and rain.
The Nine Heavenly Dragon Women only do two things, always wanting to be with the prince, jealous and harming Chen Meiru. But the prince didn't bother to look at her.
Chen Meiru also wrote to her girlfriend Jiang Huizhen a man who loved her to death, rich and invincible, affectionate and able to seduce the universal boyfriend Ouyang Wenshan.
In short, the diary was refined, and the three paper people came alive together. The plot doesn't need to be logical, it just needs to be in line with the diary. Since every sentence of the prince written in the diary is a love story, Murong Jaylen's love words are always everywhere, and he does not want money to go out.
Ouyang Wenshan, who is rich and invincible, apologizes to people by shooting a large gold bar and frightening the little nurse in the hospital.
Although it is absurd, there is something very touching. I can't help but think that if I also encountered the same situation as Chen Meiru, what would it be like when the fantasies of my youth appeared in my life today?
Probably many people have the experience of writing novels when they were young, and Yi Xuejun remembers that writing novels was very popular in the class in junior high school, and everyone passed them on to each other. Female students write romance novels, the male protagonist uniformly uses Qiong Yao-style tone to express love, all of them have to die and live; male students write martial arts novels, and many of the female protagonists are based on Zhou Huimin, with watery eyes, ink-like soft black lacquer long hair scattered on the shoulders...
However, the diary in which the novel was written was not preserved, and if no one mentioned it, it would not be remembered at all. Thinking about it this way, I think the absurd plot of "My Babylonian Lover" is particularly cute.
Although there is no explanation in the play, it is obvious that the inspiration for Chen Meiru's diary is from the song "Love Before the Western Yuan" composed by Jay Chou and lyrics written by Fang Wenshan, and there will be strange names stitched up by primary school students such as Murong Jay and Ouyang Wenshan. The original name of the play was also called "Love Before the Western Yuan".
Love before
The king of ancient Babylon promulgated the Code of Hammurabi
Carved in black basalt
It has been more than 3,700 years
You're in front of the window
Gaze at the words of the inscription
But I was quietly admiring your face that I loved dearly
Now, the song has been 20 years. This song written in his early 20s was also their youth, if Jay Chou had the luck to see this drama, would he come out with Fang Wenshan to beat people?
If it is just purely funny, the plot is difficult to go down here, and the three pairs of CPs in the play cannot develop. (There is also a pair of male classmates Duan Shuiliu, who had read Chen Meiru's diary as a child, who was unforgettable after being glimpsed by the Nine Heavenly Dragon Women, and served her in the saddle front and back of the horse without asking for anything in return after the dragon girl appeared.) ）
But apparently the screenwriter had another intention, to tell a sad story with such a joyful opening.
This diary is actually a shadow of Chen Meiru's childhood.
When she was a child, she was publicly humiliated by the class teacher for mistakenly handing over the diary as homework, punishing her for reading it aloud in front of the whole class...
After many years, she is still the Chen Meiru who is famous for writing pornographic diaries in the mouths of her neighbors.
What bad thoughts can 12-year-old Chen Meiru have? Her imagination of love to the extreme is "when the love is thick, go to Wushan together", probably from the east to the west, because at that time, the Wushan She understood was really just a mountain near her home.
So whenever the 24-year-old has feelings for the prince, the two will inexplicably flash back to Wushan.
This is not the same as the teacher's understanding at that time, but he was saddled with the pot of "writing pornographic diaries" and "female hooligans".
Since then, Chen Meiru has closed herself off in shame. In the eyes of her girlfriend Jiang Huizhen, she grew from the romantic girl who was "cute, looking east and west, writing those words that make people sway", and grew all the way to an adult who "had to control everywhere" and "a look of adrenaline loss death".
However, Chen Meiru obviously did not come to this conclusion, and she certainly did not think that putting aside unrealistic fantasies and living a stable life was a failure. She preferred to believe that this was her own destiny—that as long as she loved it, she was doomed to bad luck.
Even after many years, the class teacher who had severely punished Chen Meiru could change her conclusion and tell her classmates that this was the most literate student she had ever taught. But Chen Meiru could not identify with herself who had written such a text.
It turned out that the mixed-race prince did not inexplicably come to find 24-year-old Chen Meiru, he had to come, he was her illness, and it might also be her medicine.
Chen Meiru cried and said to the prince, "It is difficult for people to live, and I am not at good with this world." ”
It didn't matter if the prince comforted her, he could do it for her, for her to like, to get along with her.
Seeing this, I can't help but cry. It was not because of the prince's inexplicable love words, but because he saw that Chen Meiru finally loved himself a little and began to talk to himself.
In fact, the prince who was fantasized by Chen Meiru should be a double of Chen Meiru's self.
We long to be understood by the world, but rarely think about it, do we know ourselves? We long to be pampered, but we forget to pamper ourselves first. Ask yourself, do you do it yourself when you ask others to do it? Love yourself unconditionally, tolerate yourself, comfort yourself, encourage yourself...
From childhood to adulthood, we have always been taught to be strict with ourselves and lenient with others. But it is rarely told that people are often the most harsh on themselves, and most of them are not satisfied, and they are born because of this.
Just like Chen Meiru.
My Babylonian Lover is a play that is difficult to classify. Talk about idol dramas, but put the good handsome men and beautiful women Feng Xiaoyue and Xu Weining women to make the nerves of the nerves, the heroine's appearance is flat, there are many romance bridges, but they have become jokes; it is said that it is a cool drama, the heroine has her own highlights, there is no room for counterattack; some people think that it is in the era of Mary Sue small sweet drama, it is to satirize Mary Sue, but the love fantasy of Chen Meiru in the play is obviously affirmed, and after many years, chen Meiru is praised by the class teacher for her literary talent, And that diary is the most beautiful youth memory of classmates Jiang Huizhen and Duan Shuiliu.
To be sure, "My Babylonian Lover" is not a small web drama that is easy to get out of the circle just by sand sculpture funny, if there is no person behind it, it is impossible to have a few lines that poke into people's hearts every episode, and there is a hint of intellectual temperament hidden in the grounding. Looking at the behind-the-scenes team, it turned out to be Chen Guofu's producer, music and art have participated in the movies "Young You" and "Silent Truth", and more valuablely, it is still an original script.
Now, Yi Xuanjun was particularly curious about the ending.
Can Murong Jay-lun really succeed in curing Chen Meiru?
After the awakening of the personal consciousness of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl and Ouyang Wenshan, will they break away from the story line set by the diary and have another love?
The plot is also interspersed with the story of the power plot that occurred in ancient Babylon, in that story, is Chen Meiru also a paper person with a established story line?
Now that the drama is more than halfway through, it can still make people have expectations, surprises, and accidents, which is already a good work.
