Starring Huang Lei and Zhou Xun, "Xiao Min Jia", which was broadcast in the golden file of Hunan Satellite TV, on the day of the broadcast, the ratings of the first episode rushed to 1.3! The drama has become a dark horse at the end of the year in only half a month from the end of 2021. Zhou Xun was immediately called "Empress Dowager Mang", and netizens directly spread her empress stills in "Ruyi Zhuan" throughout the network.
The ratings performance is so good, it is indeed because the first episode immediately entered the drama and captured the audience, and there is no need to carry how many episodes of a certain drama needs to carry as everyone often says now before it can enter the state. This is what a good drama should look like, from the beginning to the end. Everyone is sighing, "Xiao MinJia" played a pair of trump cards.
So how is this pair of ace cards combined?
First, the character appearance directly shows the characteristics of the character
In the first minute of the tv series, everyone came to a delivery room. The doctors and nurses formed a circle, and the woman lying on the bed screamed bitterly. At this time, Liu Xiaomin, played by Zhou Xun, slowly spat out with her characteristic hoarse and low voice: "Don't shout, don't shout." The plot immediately set up a small climax, saying that the child may have to be caesarean section, only to see Zhou Xun calmly look down, the face is not shocked, continue to encourage the mother to exert force, it seems that the chest is confident, everything is under her control. In the end, the child gave birth smoothly, and the crying resounded throughout the delivery room. Liu Xiaomin is a professional, experienced and calm nurse image, which is shown to everyone in just two or three minutes.
Li Ping, played by Qin Hailu, did not see his person, and listened to his voice first. Feet hated the sky, twisted and turned out, Xiang Grandma's suit, with a standard fake smile on her face, let everyone see her, you know that this person is either rich or expensive.
In the display of film and television dramas, there are about the occupation of the main actor and his other settings, which should not be expressed through narration or lines, and the screenwriter needs to design a lot of subtext and subtext, as well as props to assist in showing the character and plot of this story character. Smart directors and actors, who understand the shape and movement of the characters, can indirectly convey to the audience the intention of the script.
Obviously, the directors and actors of "Little Minjia" are smart, and they have done a good job of subtly conveying the character characteristics to the audience. I really made a work that combines visual and auditory perception, so that the audience can see it effortlessly and not boring.
Second, the plot tries every means to bury clues
It is not enough to shape the character image, and the audience mainly runs to the plot.
The first two episodes of a drama are naturally unlikely to develop too many storylines. Well, the best way to retain the audience is to ambush the pen and leave suspense.
First of all, the most intuitive to see, why did Liu Xiaomin work alone in Beijing? Why did my son and she live apart? Why would my son, who was about to take the college entrance examination, suddenly come to Beijing with his suitcase and without saying hello?
Listening to what is said in the lines, Liu Xiaomin repeatedly mentions what kind of scum her ex-husband is? Little aunt Liu Xiaojie got married and flashed away, what is going on? How come even her mother was divorced? Their family is a mystery.
Of course, the story does not only happen to the protagonist's family, but also to Li Ping and others. Why is the daughter's attitude towards her so bad that she opens her mouth and closes her mouth and calls her by her name? How did she get rich step by step and become a rich person?
Countless question marks come together, forcing the viewer to keep looking down.
3. Rare adult perspective
Already middle-aged people are in love, some things really do not need to be hidden, for this point, domestic film and television dramas have always been secretive. The TV series "Little Min's House" rarely allows the audience to see the two male and female protagonists discussing what they put on the nightstand. They not only let the audience see, but also directly let Xiao Min's mother catch a current.
When couples joke between them, there are some intimate words with a relatively large scale. Chen Zhuo, played by Huang Lei, smiled at Xiao Min and said the "ambiguity" of the English name. Somewhat dirty, but more real.
In general, Huang Lei and Wang Jun, the old partner, are really firmly grasped, and the audience likes and wants to see things, no wonder that once they shoot, they do not lose their hands.
