Near the end of the year, the national drama seems to have ushered in a wave of small climaxes, and high-scoring dramas are emerging in an endless stream.
Recently, there is another new drama that is about to become a hit, which is just premiered -
"Little MinJia"
"Little Minjia" premiered on Hunan Satellite TV in prime time on the evening of December 11, and just after it was broadcast, its ratings were extremely dazzling.
At the beginning of the broadcast, the ratings quickly climbed to 1, soared to 1.3 during the broadcast, and finally stabilized at 1.11, with a market share of 5.8%, more than double the second place.
Many viewers may wonder, what is the magic of this Huang Lei Zhou Xun's new work "Xiao MinJia", which can firmly grasp the eyeballs of the prime-time audience and let Mango Station get the rating ace again?
Tomato Jun brushed two episodes, now take you to see.
The title of the play, "Xiao Min Family", actually tells us the core of the story of the whole play: the story of the protagonist Liu Xiaomin's family.
Liu Xiaomin (Zhou Xun), who previously lived in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, had a son named Jin Jiajun.
Because of her husband's cheating, Liu Xiaomin chose to divorce and came to Beijing alone to work hard, becoming a midwife in an international hospital.
In the process of working and living alone, he and Chen Zhuo (Huang Lei), who is also divorced, met and eventually fell in love.
Chen Zhuo's situation is better than Liu Xiaomin's, although he is also divorced, but because of his daughter's entanglement, he will still deal with his ex-wife Li Ping (Qin Hailu) from time to time.
After Li Ping divorced, she married a wealthy businessman, and the two jointly ran an education group, which was very rich. Every year for his daughter's birthday, Chen Zhuo will send her to Li Ping's home, and Li Ping will hold a grand birthday for her, and this time is no exception.
On the way to send her daughter to her ex-wife's house, Chen Zhuo and she talked and laughed, and both of them were in a good mood.
For her daughter Chen Jiajia, her birthday is naturally happy.
But for Chen Zhuo, this day coincided with the anniversary of his first anniversary of his love affair with Liu Xiaomin.
So after sending his daughter to his ex-wife's house, Chen Zhuo immediately drove to pick up Liu Xiaomin, and the two were ready to celebrate this special day.
Liu Xiaomin and Chen Zhuo have exactly the opposite personalities, the two are cold and hot - Chen Zhuo is warm and cheerful, and his words are gentle; Liu Xiaomin has a cold attitude, is upright, and usually does not talk much.
So without saying a few words in the car, Liu Xiaomin fell asleep.
In his sleep, Liu Xiaomin dreamed of his previous marriage failure, and slept at the door of his home.
As a result, when I got home, an accident occurred.
Liu Xiaomin's mother, Wang Sumin (Liu Lili), who lives in Jiujiang, suddenly appears downstairs at her house, along with Wang Sumin, as well as Liu Xiaomin's son Jin Jiajun.
The arrival of the family disrupted the two men's plans.
Liu Xiaomin, in a hurry and panic, sent Chen Zhuo away, and had to hurry home to pack up the clothes and belongings of all the men in his family before his mother and son noticed.
Because she had never mentioned to her family about her renewed love, she had not yet figured out how to tell them. Under the pretext of taking her family out to dinner, she asked Chen Zhuo to hurry to her own house and clean up all her belongings.
But Chen Zhuo's side also had an accident.
When her daughter Chen Jiajia had her birthday, she accidentally found the pregnancy test stick that Li Ping threw in the trash can. After learning that her mother was pregnant, she suddenly became angry and left her birthday party.
Chen Zhuo was packing things at Liu Xiaomin's house, when he received a call from his daughter who was angry, and without paying attention, the things were confiscated and picked up, but he locked himself outside Liu Xiaomin's house.
There was no way, Chen Zhuo could only rush to pick up his daughter.
Several things happened in one day, and Chen Zhuo, the "fire captain", not only had to take care of the feelings of Liu Xiaomin's family, but also had to go home to listen to his daughter pour bitter water.
By the time I coaxed my daughter to sleep, it was late at night.
There are daughters in his own family, and Liu Xiaomin's family has a mother and children, and this anniversary is about to be ruined.
However, Chen Zhuo, who was quick-witted and romantic, finally thought of a good way.
How these two middle-aged people overcome many obstacles together, and how to take into account the relationship between the two families and four relatives, the rest will be left to everyone to see for themselves.
As another urban family light comedy, "Little Minjia" can get such ratings, and Tomato Jun is actually not surprised.
According to the current development trend, the problem of broadcasting to interrupt the ratings of breaking 2 should not be large, which is mainly due to the immortal-level lineup of "Xiao Minjia": Zhou Xun, Huang Lei, Qin Hailu, and their acting skills make the audience successfully "enter the pit".
Among them, the most dazzling is Zhou Xun.
Since 2000's "Daming Palace Words", Zhou Xun's Princess Taiping has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, her performance is known for "aura", and there are always endless stories in a pair of eyes.
2002's "Orange Red", let Zhou Xun fire again, to say that the chick TV series, Zhou Xun as the originator.
In the past twenty years, Zhou Xun has portrayed countless classic roles, Huang Rong in "Shooting Eagle", Qingnu in "Night Feast", Xiao Wei in "Painted Skin"...
You can find a rule, Zhou Xun rarely plays that kind of "anti-aging" role, to what age to act in what play, now 47-year-old Zhou Xun, in "Xiao Min Family" also plays a middle-aged woman whose son has taken the college entrance examination.
In terms of acting skills, Zhou Xun needless to say, has withstood the test of the big screen, has been climbing and rolling for more than 20 years, and his acting skills have long been skilled, and there will be no sense of alienation in acting urban dramas.
In addition, Huang Lei is also the main reason for the ratings guarantee of "Xiao MinJia".
Speaking of urban light comedy, Huang Lei started with this. From "Little Parting" to "Little Joy", Huang Lei did not participate in "Little Shed", and the other two were all blockbusters.
And the director of this "Xiao MinJia" Wang Jun also happens to be the director of these two parts in the "small" series. Huang Lei cooperated with him, which can be described as a light car familiar.
Facts have also proved that the role of father, middle-aged man, divorced man, Huang Lei is perfectly suitable, and Chen Zhuo in "Xiao Min's Family" is just a typical representative of this type of role.
Secondly, because of his deep understanding of urban light comedy, Wang Jun was very clear about what the audience wanted to see when directing "Xiao MinJia".
Because the story is all about the parents' short and trivial, there is no earth-shattering big thing, so if "Little Minjia" wants to attract the audience, the exquisite screenwriter is very important.
As long as you can unearth the sparse, humorous, shining, and real things in life, who can refuse a drama that tells about your life?
"Little Minjia" does a very good job at this point, and there are many casual little humors in the play, which are simply real in the world.
When Chen Zhuo went to pick up his daughter, he saw his daughter's coat and looked disdainful: the clothes were like sacks.
Chen Jiajia disagreed: I don't go with the flow.
A scene that clearly explains the generation gap between father and daughter.
There are more amusing ones later.
Chen Zhuo sent Liu Xiaomin home and found that Liu Xiaomin's mother and son were downstairs and could not hide. Mother Liu's eyes were also fast, and she quickly grabbed Liu Xiaomin and asked: Who is this?
Liu Xiaomin can only be in a hurry: this is an online ride-hailing driver.
Hearing his assigned identity, Chen Zhuo looked unhappy.
However, there is no way to be unhappy, and I can only cooperate with Liu Xiaomin: I am very happy to serve you.
Not wanting her mother to know that she was talking about her boyfriend, Liu Xiaomin cleaned up everything That Chen Zhuo left at home.
But forget the most important thing: condoms.
Therefore, with the scene of the death of the following society, when cleaning up the bathroom, the condom fell on the ground and was caught by Liu Mu.
Liu Xiaomin looked embarrassed, and Liu's mother was happy and bad, and asked her daughter if she was talking about a boyfriend.
Liu Xiaomin also argued: I didn't.
Mother Liu didn't believe it: What is this for without you? At the same time, there was also disdain in his eyes, as if to tell Liu Min that our generation had never seen anything.
Although the dramatic conflict of "Xiao MinJia" is obvious, that is, the resistance of the love of divorced middle-aged men and women in society and family, it is also a test of the skills of directors and screenwriters to change this resistance into a law and sort out and tell it in an interesting way.
For example, for the children of the two, for the love of the elders, they use very different ways.
Chen Jiajia is a big miss temper, where dissatisfied, directly dumped her face, and even scolded her mother.
Jin Jiajun is different, although he does not speak, but there are many thieves in his heart.
He knew that Li Ping had run the "Nengcheng" education cram school in Beijing, and That Li Ping and her mother Liu Min had not dealt with it since childhood, but he had specifically run to Beijing to attend this cram school, and nothing else had gone on.
Later, Liu Xiaomin reacted that this was a pit dug by the child for himself.
When he ran from Jiujiang to Beijing, he deliberately made his mother angry?
This also aroused the audience's curiosity about Liu Xiaomin's past.
There is comedy, there is suspense, "Little Minjia" will turn its attention to the loveless, divorced middle-aged group, from the middle-aged anxiety to find the dawn of hope in life, which is quite valuable.
We have long been tired of the story of urban overlords and Mary Sue, and the real life of "Little Min's House" can make the audience really bring themselves in and really immerse themselves in it.
Only released two episodes, "Little Minjia" will become more and more exciting after that, if the recent drama famine, hurry up and catch up!
