"If it's an uncle like Lin Yushen, I can!"
Since September, the "deep well cp" with an age difference of 18 years in the sweet pet drama "I, Like You" has made people snort. At the age of 40, Lin Yushen, who has an online appearance and a material body, relies on the strength of Lu Jin to save the "uncle" from "middle-aged greasy" and "daddy".
Compared with this year's other two "Uncle with Lolita" dramas - "Love Me Don't Think Too Much" that makes people call "you think too much", and "I Like You So Much" with the old version of Daoming Temple and the new version of The Shancai combination as gimmicks, "I, Like You" has won in terms of word of mouth and popularity.
Why can "deep well cp" go out of the circle? What problems are faced by domestic "uncle with Lolita" dramas? "I, Like You" not only wins the audience, but also brings thoughts on the creation of this genre drama.
"Uncle control" is no longer a new word. In 2012, the National Population and Family Planning Commission jointly released the "2012-2013 China Men and Women Marriage and Love Concept Survey Report" with the Jiayuan website of Century Jiayuan, which showed that 70% of women aged 18-25 were controlled by uncles. When asked "what is the charm of the uncle", 91% of the uncles are mature and take care of people, 84% are stable and attractive, 74% have a sense of security and economic foundation, and 53% have a high quality of life.
The results of the report correspond to the "uncle" Lu Jin of "I, Like You", Who is steady and has a sense of humor; the domineering president has an economic foundation; it seems to be cold and taciturn, but in fact, it is soft and delicate in heart, and can also domineeringly protect his wife; he has a pursuit of the quality of life; ... Obviously, Lu Jin satisfies all the fantasies of young female audiences with an average age of 25.22 years old for the perfect uncle, coupled with the contrast of "turtle hair" and "foodie", it is difficult for the girlish heart of female audiences not to be hit.
In contrast, Chen Jianbin, who is worth billions in "Love Me Don't Think Too Much", has no sense of CP when he stands with a beer belly and Li Yitong, whose real age is 20 years old, let alone let the audience be willing to watch the two fall in love.
Needless to say, the audience is "looking at the face", and the age difference is not worth mentioning in front of the appearance. The movie "Like You" Jin Chengwu style exquisite uncle-style human ideal, the TV drama version of "To Youth", Liu Yijun and Chen Yao are 24 years old, but the audience is still willing to deduct sugar from the same frame plot of the two; in the fantasy drama, N long live, but can look unchanged from the world, the age difference is not a problem.
Of course, the uncle is not handsome enough, in "I Like You So Much", although Yan Chengxu's image management is not inferior, but the human setting lacks mature male charm, and the ability to circle fans is greatly reduced. The mature charm shown by Lu Jin is not only reflected in the strategizing of the domineering president's workplace, but also in the handling of the relationship between men and women, the serious double standard of treating the opposite sex and the heroine, and always giving the heroine a sense of security.
Therefore, the actors who match the appearance make the love between Uncle Lolita more convincing, and the plot setting that can show the charm of the character can more poke the audience.
In fact, "Uncle with Lolita" is not a new combination in domestic dramas. Fei Yunfan and Zi Ling in "A Curtain of Ghost Dreams", Yin Liting and Yang Unrepentant in "The Tale of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", and Ji Dongyang and Zhan Yan in "Heavenly Love" are all very representative, and the uncles mostly appear in a polite and stable image.
Later, with the arrival of the Korean Wave, the Korean uncle entered the vision of Chinese audiences, as early as the introduction of "The Bride is 18 Years Old" introduced in 2007, the male and female protagonists staged a warm love of marriage and love. In the past ten years, "Uncle with Lolita" is still an important configuration in Korean dramas: "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", Kong Liu and Jin Gaoyin are 12 years apart, "Mr. Sunshine", Lee Byung-hyun and Kim Tae-ri are 20 years apart, "My Uncle", Lee Sun-kyun and IU Lee Chi-eun are 18 years apart, "Drama", Ji Sheng and Lee Hye-ri are 17 years apart, "Marriage Contract", Lee Seo-jin and U-IE are 17 years apart.
These Korean uncles adhere to strict self-management all year round, it can be said that "forty-one flowers per capita", compared with most of the 40+ male actors who have been labeled as "can't wear thorns, can't cut thorns" labels in China, the audience naturally laments the scarcity of domestic high-quality uncles, which is why Wu Xiubo can become a male god in the minds of many people with the "Uncle Ya Pi" before the car is overturned. Therefore, the exquisite uncle is the fantasy of the girls.
Although in recent years, with the rise of female power, sister-brother love has gradually become the choice of many excellent women, and small milk dogs and small wolf dogs have begun to become popular in film and television dramas, but uncles still have their own market.
However, from 50-year-old college professor and 30-year-old magazine agency female editor in 2014's "Big Husband"; to 2017's "My! The post-70s physical education teacher and the post-90s pet groomer in "Physical Education Teacher", the chief physician and the newly graduated female doctor in "Emergency Department Doctor"; and then to the billionaires and post-90s designers in this year's "Love Me Don't Think Too Much", the "city atmosphere" shown by the domestic uncle Lolita drama, it is difficult for the audience to want to have a sense of substitution.
Compared with "Love Me Don't Think Too Much" and "I, Like You", the reason for the former's word-of-mouth can be attributed to the lack of aesthetics. As netizens said: The biggest problem is not the old and young matching, but the unreasonable plot of the old and young matching. Let me ask, why does a middle-aged uncle with a big belly and no trim edge attract a young and beautiful post-90s girl? Charisma? What kind of personality can a person who proposes to break up because he dreams that his ex-girlfriend is a gold worshipper?
Mine! Although the post-70s physical education teacher played by Zhang Jiayi in "Physical Education Teacher" did not show "he obviously looks so ordinary, why can he be so confident", but after 90 to 00 as a mother, but also to take care of the mother-in-law who is similar to his grandmother's age, a variety of family ethics dramas in the usual parents are short, life trivia, weakening the spark between uncle Lolita, but also poured out the audience's fantasy of uncle spoiling Lolita.
In contrast, under this type, Korean dramas with word of mouth and topics in the past two years will find that compared with domestic dramas lost in creating "daddy love dramas", creators in neighboring countries have jumped out of the thinking framework of simply pursuing sweet love, and are more daring and good at exploring the theme of more dimensions.
"My Uncle", Douban 9.4 points. As the creation of the work is intended to convey: "People who have nothing but desire happiness, send them even ordinary but the most special comfort." "Through the process of mutual healing between Park Dong-hoon, who is in his forties and Lee Ji-an, who is in his 20s, faces the pressure of life and heals each other, showing the emotions and desires of men and women who eat under social pressure. And the relationship between uncle and Lori is not just love.
"Mr. Sunshine", Douban 8.9 points. The love between Cui Youzhen and Gao Aixin is just an episode in the story of this home country, and what the work really wants to shape is the turbulent fate of each individual under the wheel of history.
The Japanese drama "Daddy Live", Douban 6.9, although the reputation is not good, but it will focus on the new social relations that have arisen in Japanese society in recent years - Uncle Help Me (literally translated as "Daddy Live" in Japanese), which refers to a way of interaction that "only dates, but does not have a physical relationship", so as to accept male financial assistance. Despite the content of playing "no love" to rub the ball, screenwriter Shinji Nojima still shows his sensitivity to social reality.
It can be seen that in the creation of the type of uncle Lolita drama, due to the influence of social background and concepts, there are differences in the creative concepts and screenwriting levels between China and Japan and South Korea. Overemphasizing the age difference, and unable to really explore the social factors and cultural factors behind the emergence of this phenomenon, so that it is impossible to get rid of the dog's blood. Then, constantly repeat the creation of these superficial uncle Lolita dramas.
What is more regrettable is that 11 years ago, our "Snail House" could also sting the common disease of society with Song Siming and Seaweed's "Uncle Lolita Love".
