In the first half of the year, following "Little Parting" and "Little Joy", the "Small" series of urban family dramas "Little Shed" was launched again.
But it is a pity, probably because the director is not the same person, Xiao Shede did not have the first two to watch, and the "anxiety maker" was suffocating to watch the whole process.
As a result, the first two films were both 8-point scores, while this one only had a 6.5.
However, director Wang Jun, who recently directed the first two films, finally returned with an "authentic" small series .
"Little MinJia"
Looking at the title of this "small..." play, everyone seems to automatically classify it into small series, but in fact, this "Little Minjia" is not really a small series.
"Little Parting", "Little Joy", "Little Shede", and "Little Pain love" are known as the "Chinese Education Quartet", all from the Chinese writer Lu Yinggong.
And this "Little Minjia" is actually based on another writer's novel of the same name.
However, although it is not one of the quartets, the director of this drama is Wang Jun, who made the first two excellent masterpieces, and the lead actor and chief screenwriter is Huang Lei.
Just looking at this lineup, the audience has a bottom in their hearts.
The first three parts focus on the family education problems of primary school entrance examination, middle school entrance examination and college entrance examination, and reproduce the current situation of education in China in a panoramic manner, while this "Xiao Min Family" focuses on the education of love in divorced families.
In the fourth part, Huang Lei did not reorganize the husband and wife file with Haiqing, but cooperated with his old friend Zhou Gongzi, who had known each other for more than 20 years, which was also the third cooperation between the two after "Orange Red".
In the play, the two play a couple who come together after their divorce.
Although the husband and wife file has changed, it is still very surprising to see Huang Lei Zhou Xun in the same frame.
Liu Xiaomin (Zhou Xun) is a midwife at an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Beijing.
From a twenty-three-year-old clueless girl to an experienced obstetrics and gynecology chief nurse, she has put in more effort than anyone else.
More than 20 years ago, she did not find a partner since she came to Beijing after divorcing her hometown.
Until a year ago, she met the honest man Chen Zhuo (Huang Lei), and on this day, the two were preparing for a beautiful one-year anniversary.
However, when she was almost home, she saw her mother standing in the doorway with her son.
At this time, Xiao Min had not mentioned Chen Zhuo to her family, and had to say that Chen Zhuo was a ride-hailing driver who had fooled him.
It turned out that Xiaomin's son Jun jun was not admitted to Tsinghua University by two points last year, so he wanted to come to Beijing to study re-study this year.
Xiao Min was of course very happy when her son came, but as for Chen Zhuo, she just hadn't figured out how to talk to her son.
But knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Xiaomin's mother soon realized that her daughter may be in love;
Although Xiao Min denied it, the paper wrapper could not hold the fire, and soon she knew of Chen Zhuo's existence.
Because the re-reading class that JunJun wants to attend was run by Chen Zhuo's ex-wife Li Ping (Qin Hailu).
When Xiao Min took her son to register, the staff had already made it clear that there was no quota in the elite class.
At this time, Xiaomin's mother found that this repetition class was started by Xiaomin's classmate Li Ping.
For junjun's sake, she wanted her daughter to go through the back door.
In this regard, Xiao Min is reluctant to do so, on the one hand, when she divorced in her hometown, Li Ping seemed to have mixed up a lot of things, and the two had a festival.
On the one hand, she is now in love with Li Ping's ex-husband Chen Zhuo, and the relationship is really awkward.
Xiao Min wants Junjun to change his family, but Junjun insists on re-reading here.
Even without Xiao Min's knowledge, he instigated grandma to ask for Li Ping's contact information and successfully entered the elite class.
Since Li Ping left Chen Zhuo, she has successfully married into a rich family and become a rich wife.
Although her daughter Chen Jiajia is dissatisfied with her, Li Ping's "package" is still very effective in curing all diseases.
Li Ping will meet all her requirements financially, although Jiajia has always been biased towards her father Chen Zhuo...
After six episodes, whether it is the plot advancement or the relationship between the characters, there is indeed a small series of flavor.
In terms of human design, the sculpting of the personalities of two single-parent families in the play is very delicate.
Junjun, who lives with Xiaomin's ex-husband Jin Bo, because of his attitude towards his mother and his ignorant behavior in the first few episodes, many netizens in the bullet screen said:
"I was angry when I saw this son"
"This kid stabbed his mother in the heart"
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Junjun is not without reason, when he was a child, he was scolded and lived with his mother for six years, and later because his mother left him alone.
In his heart, he complained more or less about his parents and doubted their love for him.
Therefore, he would make up his own mind that he had to go to Li Ping's repetition class regardless of Xiao Min's emotions, in fact, he just wanted to see what Xiao Min could do for himself.
In contrast, Jiajia's situation is much better.
Although Chen Zhuo and Li Ping are divorced, Chen Zhuo has always been careful to take care of Jiajia, and Li Ping is not soft at throwing money, to put it bluntly, Jiajia grew up in a honeypot built by the two.
And most importantly, Chen Zhuo Li Ping can still sit and chat calmly after divorce, which is also the most powerful tonic for Jiajia.
But despite this, the two children have one thing in common: sensitivity.
When the introverted Jun Jun and Grandma came to Beijing and had their first meal with Xiao Min,
He would carefully say to his mother: Thank you.
In his heart, Xiao Min, who gave birth to himself, was the most familiar stranger.
After learning that Li Ping was pregnant, Jiajia, who had a cheerful personality, also changed her face and became angry.
She felt that she was an outsider, Li Ping, not her home.
In addition, Huang Lei Zhou Xun's middle-aged love story is also contrary to the previous greasy and romantic at that age.
When Xiao Min was upset about the family's affairs, Chen Zhuo was the first person to stand by her side and understand and comfort her.
He will play Ultraman to make Xiaomin happy, and he will also drive Xiaomin around.
However, although Huang Lei's character design this time is also very pleasing, there is still a little drawback, and it is too similar to the lively and cheerful and understanding Fang Yuan of the first two films.
Sometimes when I saw him playing with Zhou Gongzi, I couldn't help but think of him and Haiqing arguing.
It's a bit of a cross-cutting.
But from the current six episodes, this "Xiao Min Jia" is much more enduring than the previous "Xiao Shede".
There is a real side of the world like Xiao Min's sister Xiao Jie meeting Ma BaoNan, and there is also a side of Xiao Min who is wandering and uncertain when she meets Chen Zhuo who is cared for and healed.
The storyline is a life stream, but there is no lack of drama.
Overall, it is still a very good family life drama.
Not surprisingly, the small series is another masterpiece.
