Because the rate of urban workplace dramas this year is not high, coupled with the fact that "Hello, Flame Blue" in the middle of the year really makes people want to frown, the seven words initially did not trust Gong Jun and Qiao Xin's new drama "Sleeping Garden".
However, after chasing several units in a row, I felt a stunning "true fragrance" charm, this work is not a perfect "god work", but the quality is quite remarkable, it is an underrated genre drama.
The "Prophet" screenwriter came out, and the case selection was a bit strong
"Sleeping Garden" and the "Female Psychologist" that just ended in the early stage chose to excavate the same profession: psychological counselor, the male protagonist Lin Shen is a professional psychological counselor, and the female protagonist Xiao Xiao is an emotional blogger.
The two accidentally intersected because of the disappearance of Xiao Xiao's friend Yan Luo, and a professional psychological counselor and Xiao Xiao, who is keen to analyze human emotions, collided with a different spark and explored a number of typical cases together.
The two works are actually focused on the typical psychological problems of modern cities, but how the two dramas have not collided with cases at present, each has its own highlights, and the "Female Psychologist" case tends to be popular topics such as marriage and original family.
"Sleeping Garden" focuses on cases that exist widely in reality, but the public often only knows but does not know why, such as the gas lamp effect in the emotional PUA chapter, manipulating and brainwashing others through cognitive negation.
This method is the core method in the infamous So-and-So Tianya PUA tutorial, which has been reported by many media earlier, and the normal masses hate it, but how did the victim step by step step into the trap?
Ordinary people do not have much understanding and sense of defense, "Sleeping Garden" starts with Chai Qian, who is about to enter marriage, she was once a confident professional woman, in her cognition, she chose to quit because of work pressure.
In this experience, the comfort of her boyfriend Huo Lang made her very moved, but the "perfect boyfriend" let Yao Qian get out of the negative emotions caused by work, but she gradually became inferior and sensitive, unable to return to the workplace.
On the surface, it seems that the problem is that she is not confident enough to be self-reliant.
But in-depth development of Yao Qian's experience, the audience found that her inferiority sensitivity actually stemmed from the manipulation of her boyfriend Huo Lang, who in the early stages of love, built herself into a perfect boyfriend who met all of Yao Qian's aesthetics: kind and gentle.
Yao Qian felt that it was she who fell in love with him at first sight.
When confessing, Huo Lang analyzed the misfortune of his original family to Yao Qian, making her feel that she was his salvation and would become the most cherished and most happy woman, and Yao Qian's trust and pity for him deepened step by step.
When Yao Qian's development into the workplace was getting better and better, and he got the opportunity to study, Huo Lang confessed affectionately: I care about you, afraid of any factors that may cause problems, so Yao Qian gave up the rare opportunity.
When Yao Qian's work was not smooth and insomnia and overeating, Huo Lang wanted to support her forever, so she gave up her job.
When Yao Qian was ready to return to the workplace, Huo Lang was very distressed: Honey, I don't want you to be wronged again.
Is Huo Lang's various behaviors really because he loves Yao Qian too much? Non-also, when Yao Qian revealed that he decided to summon up the courage to go to work, Huo Lang's "love" became sharp: Didn't you resign because you couldn't bear the pressure before?
In the name of love, expand the pressure of the other party, encourage the other party to escape, constantly hit the other party's self-confidence with denial and questioning, successfully make Yao Qian become inferior, rely on her boyfriend, and make her feel that Huo Lang loves her very much.
If it were not for the psychological counselor from the third perspective to pull out the problem for Yao Qian to analyze step by step, Yao Qian himself and the onlookers who saw Huo Lang so "loving" his girlfriend would feel that the fault was on the woman's side.
Very terrible manipulation, but also become the "business" of some people, people in it and bystanders are easy to be confused, the case is both shocking and thought-provoking, as a drama is wonderful enough, as an art meaningful.
Moreover, the screenwriter of "Sleeping Garden" has a lot of "prophetic" potential, and the "gas lamp effect" just appeared in Li Lianglei's accusation against Wang Lihong, and another case of fans falling in love with Aidou stepped on the hot spot in advance.
Regardless of whether Li Lianglei's accusations and netizens' suspicions are true, this phenomenon can trigger the response of so many melon-eating masses, which is enough to show that its existence is extensive, and the excavation of film and television dramas allows the audience to see the whole picture of the problem.
Sharpness and warmth coexist, and every case has two sides
Domestic creators say that there are two common laws of the story, the novel likes to punch the face and abuse the scum, no matter what the beginning, the process and the ending will definitely step on the villain to the end, the film and television love the great reconciliation, the process of mirror breaking can be reunited no matter how tragic.
The polarized creative methods have their audience base, but to a certain extent, they are also prone to some aesthetic rebellions, such as the great reconciliation and reunion mode that film and television dramas love, which are quite criticized by the audience.
In this regard, there is no choice between the two modes of "Sleeping Garden", and the screenwriter prefers to solve the "ending" of discord, and each case will not set an absolute positive opposition, but more to explore the multi-faceted aspects of human nature.
For example, the case of a control freak boyfriend and a fan love bean love case.
Yan Luo was terrified of the harassment of her control-freak boyfriend Wang Su, which caused her great psychological trauma, but when Xiao Xiao determined Yan Luo's safety, psychological counseling was given to the wrong side: Wang Su, who could not control himself.
Why did he go from being the perfect boyfriend to a control freak? How to make him open the knot in his heart, so as to realize his harm to Yan Luo? This is also an important context of the case, perhaps Wang Su's reconciliation with himself is slightly idealistic, but it is very warm.
The most important thing is that this story does not guide the audience to understand and hurt their partners, but to guide people with psychological problems to solve their own problems, and the people who are hurt have the courage to refuse and stay away from those who hurt themselves.
The knot needs to be solved, but there is a broken mirror that hurts the shadow and does not encourage recirculation.
The same is true of the fan love bean love case, the slandered girl gets an apology, the star who connived with the brokerage company to hurt his lover for the sake of his career realizes his mistake, and the injured old lover stays away from each other and reconciles with himself.
But after reconciliation, it is the double self-sufficiency, not the restoration.
To say no to the harm, but also to stay away from the harm that may recur, not to take the opposite may be too tolerant for the perpetrator, there are two sides to the matter, life needs to be healed, the problem needs to be solved step by step.
At least, refusing to reunite with people who have hurt themselves, and decisively breaking up with people who have hurt themselves, is already a good guide, this tone is actually quite touching, in terms of psychological issues, "Sleeping Garden" has always maintained a neutral perspective.
The breakthrough of genre themes, love can actually be a little less
Although there are many quality controversies, it has to be said that from "Female Psychologist" to "Sleeping Garden", in the selection and portrayal of psychological counseling cases, whether it is social significance or dramatic charm, it is worthy of praise.
They let the seven episodes see the breakthrough of domestic dramas in the genre theme, especially "Sleeping Garden", the professional adaptation of the male and female masters is very high, there is no feeling of hard concave experts, and the human design is natural and smooth.
The transfer of cases and the language of the lens are also very infectious, and the integration of each consultant's memories and reality is quite interesting, and the proper integration of drama and professionalism adds a lot of points to the work.
However, these two dramas also have a common phenomenon of domestic professional dramas and genre dramas: love is never lacking, the male and female protagonists must be CP, professional cases are always parallel to the sweet pet line, and the case does not forget to talk about love.
Objectively speaking, such a presentation is indeed liked by many audiences, but adding love scenes to the tense theme is not so extra points, adjusting the serious atmosphere, but also letting the story lose the sense of stimulation that continues to rise.
Perhaps the film and television party can be bolder, learn about the old-fashioned domestic genre drama or European and American genre themes, and infect the audience with professionalism, and love in this type of work, such as dragonflies and water-like presentations, can make the audience remember.
Of course, in the environment of a large number of genre dramas, workplace dramas Mary Sue, love brains, and love is far greater than the workplace, the "Sleeping Garden" that has been restrained in romance drama is enough to take a flaw and praise it, and it is not a loss to invest in the shares.
