Zhang Yao in "Female Psychologist" is the actor who got the most tragic script in this play.
The second-born mother played by Zhang Yao, a few eye scenes let people be brought into the emotional situation of the character. Across the screen for her heart, for her grief: what can I do to help this desperate mother?
Her appearance looks a little lost, with unkempt hair, confused eyes, and exhaustion written on her face. She couldn't finish a psychological consultation, and she was anxious to go somewhere.
Sure enough, her heart was full of daughters. At the school gate, she saw what the parents and teachers in the class were discussing, so she also joined in and asked her daughter about her performance at school between conversations.
Unexpectedly, her daughter's performance in school was not satisfactory, even the parent-child homework was not handed in, she said a few words of apology in embarrassment, turned around and wanted to leave, just took 3 steps, she "leaked urine"...
What was even more suffocating was that a child saw it and said it in public, when the parents of the same class all brushed their eyes in unison, and no one asked her if she needed help.
Time seemed to freeze, only the daughter in the distance saw her embarrassment and ran over crying, hugging her, not abandoning her, and loving her.
The "mother" in the distance of her daughter broke her heart and made the audience break her guard.
The more difficult it is in the early stage, and the more hope is rekindled from despair in the future, the more attractive it is to the audience.
In the past domestic TV series, I have seen too many second-born mothers, many of whom are four elderly people in the battle, and those with good conditions also have childcare sisters-in-law or nannies.
As an ordinary person, seeing Zhang Yao's sloppy appearance is indeed to restore the daily life of a full-time mother of an ordinary family to the greatest extent. There is no glamorous beauty, only a place of chicken feathers.
And the second-born mother played by Zhang Yao in "Female Psychologist", "leaking urine" as soon as she appeared? She is using the most tragic person to set up the script and tear open the "fig leaf" of the second-born mother.
In this unit story, Horton (Yang Zi) guessed her anxiety point at a glance and told her bluntly: "This is a typical postpartum depression performance." ”
The play confronts the most difficult state in life, but creates a warm painting style through small details. In her world, the son is the source of contradiction, and the daughter is the only light that illuminates her.
Zhang Yao took the most tragic script
Zhan Lu, played by Zhang Yao, is a high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university, married after falling in love with her husband for many years, and had an eldest daughter two years after marriage, Zhan Lu resigned at home to concentrate on taking children, and the life of a family of three was perfect and sweet.
All the contradictions must start from the mother-in-law moving from her hometown. The second child was an accident, although Zhan Lu was not prepared, but the mother-in-law was chattering in her ear, making her feel as if she had "broken the roots" of her husband's family without being born.
However, since the birth of the second child, Zhan Lu's life has been completely disrupted. The mother-in-law's idea of son preference is deeply rooted. Every day, she only hugs her grandson and ignores her granddaughter, and no matter how well her daughter does, she will not be seen by her grandmother.
And the mother-in-law often takes many people to suddenly open the door to go home, sometimes when Zhan Lu is sleeping, sometimes when she is feeding the child, the mother-in-law snatches the son every time, and then mocks two sentences by the way.
As a full-time mother, since the mother-in-law came, as long as she held her son at home, she would be robbed of it at the first time, and then the mother-in-law would count her at home and do nothing.
Doing anything wrong and doing nothing is also wrong in the eyes of the mother-in-law!
Seeing that Zhan Lu not only had to get up early in the morning to send her daughter to school, but also to hurry home to feed her son and drink milk, as well as three meals a day for the family, unfinished housework, and unfinished clothes...
So, when I, as a viewer, saw Zhan Lu fantasizing about pushing her son out when she crossed the street, it wasn't surprising at all. Because she was on the verge of collapse, maybe without her daughter, she couldn't hold on at all.
It is also the fragmented warmth of the eldest daughter that creates such a character base, making the story of this second-born mother look reasonable, rather than blindly tragic.
Why can the "fig leaf" of the second-born mother be torn off so easily
Such a person who is a mother of a second child and does not work at home is called a stay-at-home mother, but here is a point to emphasize that Zhan Lu is not a housewife in the traditional sense. Have academic qualifications, insight and work experience.
She is not because she has no choice to go out in the family, but double business online, extraordinary ability, in the workplace can also be at ease, but she weighed the pros and cons, independently made the choice to temporarily abandon the career.
She is not idle in the "house squatting", she is not relaxed at all, she is a nanny, a housekeeper, a childcare sister-in-law, a tutor for schoolwork. A person has done the work of several people, but because he does not earn money, he is despised by his mother-in-law at home.
To tell you the truth, seeing Zhan Lu like this, I am very anxious, and I want to tell her across the screen: go out to work and leave home!
Fortunately, she met Horton, a professional female psychologist, who can help her look directly at the psychological problems and use her professional knowledge to help her reinvent herself.
When I saw Zhan Lu pluck up enough courage to introduce herself to the employer, I cried. Perhaps only someone who has been a mother can understand how much courage it takes for her to take this step.
Why in "Female Psychologist", Zhang Yao's unit story is particularly empathetic?
Because the characters, events, and passes are enough to be grounded. Each of the characters is familiar with our neighbors and friends.
Second-child anxiety, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict, husband and wife estrangement, parent-child relationship, etc., a short unit story integrates multiple family pain points. When a stay-at-home mom encounters the above situations at the same time, her despair is unable to redeem herself.
Zhan Lu, a second-child mother in a difficult situation, under the healing of Horton, she finally found a breakthrough in her emotions and had a new understanding and planning for her situation and future.
