Urban dramas have always been the "traffic password" of the national drama market.
Although urban dramas have always been unable to avoid problems such as suspension and dog blood in the past two years, for the audience, this kind of theme is undoubtedly the closest to life and the most resonant existence.
So when will urban dramas really give the audience a sigh of courage?
In fact, a good drama is in front of everyone.
In the list of films to be broadcast, Sun Li of Tsing Yi holds a "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight", and partners with Dong Zijian, who is 11 years younger, to stage "Happy Enemies".
This combination looks a bit ghostly at first glance, but the collision of two powerful actors, combined with a down-to-earth career setting like selling insurance, I think it still has the potential to control the ratings.
In addition, "10,000 Kilometers Time Difference" starring Luo Jin and Ren Suxi also makes people look forward to it.
In addition to the actors' acting skills are reassuring, the play focuses on Internet celebrity entrepreneurship, funny live broadcasts and other fields, and the content is novel and realistic, which is obviously very attractive.
It's just that the above two dramas have not come with good news for a long time, but the audience is waiting to see a new work "Old and Young" from Goose Factory, and the ratings of only 1 episode broke 2 directly, this momentum is so fierce that it is scary, so what is the highlight of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "trump card"?
01 The parents are short, and they are ruthlessly substituted
"The Old and the Young" tells the story of Gu Xiaomeng (played by Deng Jiajia) and Lu Xiang (played by Yang Jue), a young couple who finally bought a snail house, and without waiting for the world of the two, the parents of both sides came to live together, and there were frequent contradictions.
When it comes to the topics of life, pension, and childbirth, there may be an audience with one head and two big.
But rest assured, authenticity doesn't equal anxiety.
Watching this drama will only make people feel that they can be ruthlessly substituted for themselves, and they can also absorb the strength of the protagonist to face life, and the two major highlights of the plot are also the reasons why I decided to chase it to the end.
The first highlight: The characters have two sides, which people love and hate.
The generation gap and life contradictions between young people and elders are things that everyone will experience, and the parents of the male protagonist in the play are typical Chinese parents.
A late machismo who thinks that only women can enter the kitchen, always likes to preach juniors.
A frugality is excessive, the furniture must be covered with various covers, and there is no knock on the door when entering the daughter-in-law's room, and there is no sense of boundary.
If the previous urban dramas were basically filmed here, it would only make the audience feel suffocated, but how can any parents be perfect?
The old father under the camera will also carefully put plastic wrap on the remote control of his son's house, for fear of getting dirty. The mother was so busy that she was willing to wash her daughter-in-law's clothes.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, what we need to learn is not to hate them, but to understand, communicate and find a way to live at the same frequency.
The second highlight: the long-mouthed husband and the witty wife.
Most of the young couples in urban dramas either don't have long mouths, or they are angry, which makes the audience angry and aggrieved.
But the male and female protagonists in this drama are too powerful.
Husband Lu Xiang was not ambiguous about his old father: "If you want to follow your rules, how can the times progress?" This time, it was his wife Gu Xiaomeng who was blocking him, which really made people laugh.
And the heroine is not a wimply character, she grasps both the workplace and the family, and does things quite rationally, this is the correct way to open the new era of couples, right?
It can be said that "There is the Old and the Young" completely breaks the barriers of traditional urban dramas, the plot is real and not blocked, and it is over after watching it.
02 Powerful factions are on the same stage
Urban dramas can't do without good actors, and not only do you have to act online, but you also have to catch the fireworks of the characters, but fortunately, the leading actors in the show are strong.
The first place, Deng Jiajia.
"Little Aunt" Deng Jiajia has already gotten rid of the label of comedian with her outstanding performance in major film and television dramas in the past two years.
In the new play, she plays Gu Xiaomeng who is gentle, generous, intellectual, and has the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of her without changing her face, and she looks like an excellent teacher at that stop.
In the face of differences in living habits with her in-laws, she can also be tolerant and understanding, and every time she smiles indifferently in front of the camera, it is reassuring.
Sure enough, you can always believe in the "Down's Acting Rules"!
second place, Yang Jue.
There are not many actors in domestic entertainment who are very human, but Yang Jue is one of them.
In the new play, he plays the image of Lu Xiang as a good gentleman, which is not a difficult role for Yang Jue.
Whether it is the expression of the distressed wife or the helplessness of the parents, it doesn't look like acting, but like a character living in the camera.
can only say that the director is looking for Yang Jue, and he really found the right person.
third place, Xu Di.
As a "mother-in-law professional", Xu Di has performed many types of mother-in-law images, but each time she will give the audience different feelings.
In this play, Wang Hong, who she plays, is not a strong woman, she is used to being PUA by her macho husband, she is busy all day long, and she also feels that it is a matter of course for women to do housework, and asks her daughter-in-law to do the same.
It is true that she has a boring side, but she also has to admit that hateful people must have pity, Xu Di performed the bitterness and helplessness of many rural women, this is called an old drama bone.
fourth place, Wu Yufang.
If Xu Di is a "mother-in-law professional household", then Wu Yufang is a "mother-in-law professional household".
In "The Story of Rose", she played Huang Yimei's mother, who was willing to give her children the greatest respect, and became an ideal mother in the hearts of many audiences.
However, in this new drama, Wu Yufang's mother played by Wu Yufang is different, she is a shrewd philistine, not a good stubble, this contrast is too strong, and the proper drama throws face.
03 Conclusion
Although "The Old and the Young" still does not avoid a series of short-term conflicts between parents such as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the plot conflicts are constant, isn't this the so-called "life"?
In fact, it's not that the audience doesn't want to watch the story of "chicken feathers in one place", but they are worried that the plot is too outrageous, and it will be upsetting to watch.
Fortunately, this new drama understands what the audience wants, and it can maintain watchability while ensuring the authenticity of the content, and the male and female protagonists also add a lot of points, which makes people willing to continue chasing.
At the same time, the play invites so many outstanding and powerful actors to get rid of the problem of facial makeup, each character is multifaceted, can find the shadow of ordinary people, and easily substitute into the plot.
At present, the show is only updated for 1 episode, as long as the content does not collapse, it is not impossible to become a hit.
I don't know if you're willing to continue chasing dramas?
