What a drama.
Evil girl CP, "Yao Jinling" Yang Yi and "Ellie" Li Caihua play sister flowers.
How wonderful it was to tear it up.
The lineup is a rare big battle for Hong Kong dramas this year:
Zhang Zhilin, Xiong Dailin, Huang Haoran, Luo Ziyi (Luo Zhongqian), Guo Zhenghong, Ai Wei, Yu Yang, Chen Manna, Liang Jingqi.
TVB tastes good.
Hot searches one after another, the ratings also lived up to expectations.
Hong Kong drama rejuvenation?
Sir can't wait to watch eight episodes finally...
abandon.
Every sample in the play wants to restore the TVB giant drama, but they have not seen the pearlescent energy, nor have they seen the wealth and wealth, only the shortness of breath.
This giant, the goods are not right:
Family Glory
See this poster.
The relationship between the characters can be guessed:
The sister flower of the C bit is the main force of dog blood.
There were three men in the back, the number was not equal, and there must be some insane relationship.
Feelings, ethics, business wars are staged in turn, flashy and eroded...
The formula that a giant drama should have, "Family Glory" has it.
But the result is – you don't believe.
The problem is never dog blood.
Instead, pretend to be dog blood.
It does not want to tear apart all kinds of vicious and naked faces, nor does it want to substitute a little shadow of the current giants.
What's left?
A piece of gold, plastic background plate.
01
The story begins.
The woman sat in the dressing room preparing for the wedding.
Beauty pageant champion Zhen Xin (played by Yang Yi) and runner-up Jia Luoyi (played by Li Caihua) are not only sisters who have been very good since their student days, but also concubines who are about to marry two brothers.
Although the whole staff of this drama is overaged, basically in their 40s, they are still playing the newlywed Yan'er.
But look down to find out.
The most contradictory thing is not age.
There are brothers who were married on the same day, Ma Yaozu (played by Huang Haoran) and Ma Yaotang (played by Luo Ziyi).
They are the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Mars Group, respectively.
How did Sir know?
When two people meet, they are repeatedly in cue, afraid that others will not know their titles.
The side in charge of the family tradition.
Ma's group's grandmother (xiong Dailin) and grandmother (Chen Manna), that is, the sister-in-law and mother of the Ma brothers.
Oh yes, Grandma Dashao and two daughters.
They are called Lai Di and Zhao Di respectively.
- The art of naming is comparable to the "Lady's Road" next door.
As for why Mr. Ma's wife should be called Grandma...
Of course, it is because he also has a well-known second-room wife.
Look, the family is big, the people are prosperous.
What the?
You say that a large number of people does not mean that it is a giant?
Of course.
There is another sign of the giants - a profound view of the door.
Those of us who are born phoenixes
It's the phoenix
As long as they don't make mistakes
Obediently make canaries
And the unavoidable traditional craft of preference for sons over daughters.
I really hope your first child is a male grandchild
Incense lamps for our Ma family
Understand, don't go through the motions, just start the palace plan.
What is the result of a fight?
On the day of the wedding, The young grandmother lost the bracelet, and immediately asked the bride's parents about the crime, suspecting that they stole it.
As a result, the bracelet is left on its own in the bathroom.
Then look at the business war.
What should I do if ICC is investigated for bribing officials?
The answer is revealed:
Of course, one of the three brothers was chosen to help everyone go to jail for their sins.
So if there is a complete chain of evidence and testimony, how to get out?
- Of course, it is to buy off witnesses and tamper with confessions.
What icicipate and police are all toyed with, which is of course a normal operation for the "giants", otherwise how to say that it is a giant.
That's when someone has to ask.
What about the second young grandmother Yang Yi?
She was Yao Jinling.
Unfortunately, the persona of the second young grandmother is - the kind heroine.
I'm meeting today to remind you
We must do things fairly and justly
Selfless
In addition to being righteous, it is also a standard "love brain".
When her husband entered the bureau, she took the top position as CEO, and then returned the position to him after her husband was released from prison.
Her husband has Xiao San, and she forgives him with a big belly and pays xiao San's living expenses.
Who doesn't boast of "competent and knowledgeable".
So in the two-line plot of "Family Glory".
To tear, tear the flesh.
Business battles, fight like business novice village players.
Drawing a picture of the gourd against the past routine, the result is more and more out of shape.
02
Today we often criticize a play, levitating.
But the giant drama originally has a certain suspension, it is a class that is detached from the common people, and it is also a condensed human dog blood.
But it can't stop everyone from loving it.
Family Glory, on the other hand, is levitating above levitation.
It did not dare to highlight and enlarge the suspended elements, and could only scratch the itch of the boots.
Take a look at the big guys.
"The Penthouse", which directly combines incest/murder/revenge/polyamorous love.
"The Battle of Inheritance" directly crosses human nature, showing the suffering of each family member in blood and selfish desires.
The plot is bizarre.
But emotion is also doubly intense.
What about Family Glory?
Since it is a copy of the past model from beginning to end, you can't see the impact of the plot on the audience.
There is only the staleness of the bridge, and the hollowness of the emotion.
How old-fashioned is it?
It is nothing more than a feudal remnant of the second room of the big room, the concubine out of the house, and the preference for sons over daughters.
Sir is not saying that he cannot show the remnants of feudalism, on the contrary, the giant drama is to show the "dark side".
It's just that we have already seen this dark side, and we don't see a little new meaning to keep pace with the times.
And when you are fighting, can you use some strength?
To hurt people, first put on an expression.
The result is that it is again induced and not sent.
I don't know if it is affected by the economic environment.
This rich family has no surplus food, and its wealth has seriously shrunk.
Sorry, the strength of the Ma family's real money and silver is really confusing.
The richest relatives can't even afford to pay 100 million, and their relatives who lack 4 million have to run into walls everywhere.
Then if Ye's according to the tender contract content
If they go to compensate, they will have to pay at least 100 million
I don't think they can afford it
That will eventually go bankrupt
Comparing the 1.3 billion yuan of tax evasion in the mainland with Forbes' latest hong Kong rich list, we have to have some doubts about the Ma family's self-proclaimed "giants".
And if you talk about "human design".
Sorry, this is also the most offensive part of the whole series.
Everyone's characters all serve the plot, or are clichéd and single, or weird and bizarre.
To take revenge, it is directly abandoned to human nature, and even the closest sisters can make secret calculations, and there is no struggle and hesitation.
What I can't get
She didn't want to get it so easily
To calculate, all the hole cards are directly released, and after being punched in the face, they have to repeatedly grievance and pity, and the IQ is rounded up and can be directly ignored.
If you want the white lotus, you will be just all the way to the end, and all the company's family affairs are fair and strict.
Because it is out of the house, it is low and low, and it has no ideals and personality of its own.
This kind of "grafted human design" that does not talk about martial virtue and follows the script not only abandons the emotional stretch that originates from instinct, but also completely fails to see the complexity and multi-layeredness that they should have as human beings.
Confined to labels.
It can only become a thin piece of paper.
This is also the most fundamental reason why "Family Glory" cannot go further - dog blood but tied hands and feet, and the logic of talking about money is thin.
The so-called "rich" only exists in the constant flashing of mansion exteriors and exaggerated and gorgeous makeup, as well as extremely old-fashioned framing tricks.

Why do we love to watch big dramas?
There are three reasons for this:
A magnificent scenery that is difficult for the general public to see;
Capital Logic;
And the release of more complex humanity and emotions.
The family conflicts of ordinary people may be just a mixture of vegetables and meals and infighting.
And put into the giants, but it is a fierce headline that is light and competing for interests, and heavy is fragmented.
And talk about the big drama.
Almost all of them are TVB.
Why?
Because TVB's giant dramas, although the routine is old, it is enough to taste.
First of all, it is in line with the consistent understanding of the "big family" in Chinese society - people are prosperous, classes are clear, and children are complete.
Hong Kong only implemented monogamy in 1971, which led to a more credible basis for the dispute between the main room and the second room that appeared within the family in the early magnate dramas.
△ "Storm of Hearts"
In addition, there is no family planning policy in Hong Kong, and the concept of having more children and more blessings is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not uncommon for three generations of a family to share a dozen people in the same house.
Tradition, however, is in line with the cognition of that era and is not hot.
This is one of them.
The second is the tradition that TVB dramas must have, that is, the final return of the three views and the full human touch.
This is true even for the giants.
For example, the two most classic ones - "Pearlescent Treasure" and "Storm of Hearts".
Although it is a tycoon, it still has the same affection and care as an ordinary family.
It is not a tearing and turning against each other from beginning to end.
Everyone also has their own personality and natural transition changes, even if there is a dispute, it will definitely give the pre-foot and post-round turning motivation and opportunity.
△ "Pearlescent Treasure"
More importantly.
Giants are giants because they must be attached to an industry.
In any case, we must not lose sight of one or the other, and lose our roots and forget our roots.
So we can see that Ali in "Storm of Hearts" will run around the streets of Hong Kong in order to revitalize the business, and the protagonist's family will argue over a package of wrongly sold shiitake mushrooms.
It can also be seen that the shots about jewelry in "Pearlescent Treasure" are particularly delicate, and the next moment when Kang Father detects the fake diamonds, it is the honesty and calmness of the jewelry practitioners.
Do it before, do it now
The most important thing is to tell the guests clearly
What's so embarrassing?
People have to believe that they really got rich from this and got rich, and they had the later story.
Professional enough, this is the original intention of TVB.
Although "Family Glory" was co-produced by Youku and Huanya, it was still the TVB team that was enabled.
Then it is inevitable that the audience will still benchmark with TVB.
How did the giant drama that changed the owner's re-entry, lose its inner flavor?
Big trenches from home.
It became a PPT display of everything suspended in the mouth cannon.
Whether it is the real estate mentioned in the play or the construction of the dock, there is no in-depth detail of the scene, nor is there a professional interpretation that keeps up with the times.
Only to keep "talking on paper" in the conference room.
This may be where the irony lies.
TVB's giants are often laughed at as "cold doors".
Because their mansions come and go, the Tong family in "Breakout Action" lives here, and the Wang family in "Hotel Storm" also lives here, but they have changed the decoration and furniture placement, and the pattern is not bad.
Leaving the narrow-minded Hong Kong, it seems that the scene can be updated and upgraded.
But the result is both the loss of the human flavor.
Also lost the taste of money.
This is not like the common disease of too many domestic dramas, in terms of wealth and money, there is basically no correct concept.
The poor are not like the poor.
Lee Randy, an intern in "Dream Back", enjoys a large bathtub with excellent vision.
"Mr. Love" in the North Drift River Shadow, live in a hardcover apartment.
Rich people are not like rich people.
Qin Hailu in "Little MinJia" knows nothing about the threshold of the real Ivy League famous school.
Business elite Andy can short forty million in three hours as soon as he opens his mouth.
Although after the rapid development and polarization of the economy, there is no shortage of rich people in society, but we cannot create a credible wealth class, whether it is a realistic theme, or a suspended idol drama or a giant drama.
It is impossible to look directly into the secrets of the shadows.
It also does not portray the scenery on the table of wealth.
So much so that the role of the rich man is basically contracted by two people
The older one was Zhang Chenguang.
The uncle was Wang Yaoqing.
How much we are missing, looking rich faces.
The indescribable nature of wealth brings avoidance and hypocrisy.
Therefore, there is no wealth in sight, and there is no concrete person under the wealth, and only the suspended and empty imagination remains, as well as the suspicion and resentment in the strangeness of the estrangement.
