Zhu Yawen and Wang Likun are everyone's favorite actors, Zhu Yawen starred in "Under the Gate of Zhengyang" is a classic, and Wang Likun's "Minus Thirty-Eight Degrees" was also well received. However, such a good actor has recently starred in the hegemonic theme TV series "Lazy Cat's Lion Reflection" and "Three Lives Have the Honor to Meet You", and his identity is very similar, playing the grassroots bodyguard of the overlord.
Comparing the plots of "Lazy Cat" and "Three Lives", there are many striking similarities. First, one party returned from abroad, Liu Qing in "Lazy Cat" returned from a foreign security company, and in "Three Lives" the count returned from studying abroad; the second is that The bully has experienced major trauma, Mu Wanqing drowned and lost his memory when he was a child in "Lazy Cat", and the earl in "Three Lives" drowned when he lost his mother' shadow; the third is that the company or family of the bully is experiencing a crisis, or is involved in a huge conspiracy; fourth, the man and woman must be one person cold and one person warm. This may be the standard configuration of the hegemonic theme!
With such a standard as the premise, the hegemonic drama can connect more elements and themes, such as crossing, martial arts, action, urban love and so on. I have to say that the hegemonic theme is a basket, anything can be loaded into it, and there is unlimited traffic. There have long been successful cases of hegemonic themes, and Jet Li's "Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" is a classic case. And the recent hit "Lazy Cat", Zhu Yawen's play is not amateur Jet Li, the producer of the conspiracy is not amateur special forces, sweet love, explosive fight drama and conspiracy crisis, so that the plot is a lot cooler; "Three Lives" is more decent, telling the growth story of the hegemon, and the inspirational component is very high.
However, the hegemonic TV series that has both a story and a handsome woman has a fatal flaw, that is, its logic. It can be said that this kind of drama is cool and cool, without the audience to use their brains to think, nor to talk about the sense of substitution of any role. The hegemonic theme breaks the convention, creates a beautiful love that spans reality, and allows ordinary people to experience the life of a prince and Cinderella. It is said that The general manager has attracted the favor of the zero-zero generation, but from the recent hot ratings of the hegemonic drama and the phenomenon of powerful actors seizing this theme, its audience is all ages. It can be said that such a drama is awkward and on the head.
So, what is the magic of the hegemonic theme?
First of all, it creates a beautiful experience. In the life of a chicken feather, who does not want to feel the beauty of transcending reality? In the hegemonic TV series, not only are the male and female protagonists look top-notch, their personalities and skills are beyond ordinary people, and the supporting roles of men and women must also be handsome and have characteristics, which are the objects of envy of ordinary people. Their living environment is also mostly large companies, big houses, luxury cars, luxurious daily life, fashionable Taoist costumes, exquisite details, coupled with the deliberate performance of the lens, so that the audience can put down the troubles of chai rice oil and salt, and produce aesthetic visual and psychological enjoyment.
In "Lazy Cat", Mu Wanqing's life is like this, one person lives alone in a large villa, a housekeeper who graduated from the corresponding major of the British university, a professional nutritionist, and the personal collection of Liu Qing's comrade-in-arms Lei Shuo, casually breaking an antique vase, worth more than 20 million. In "Three Lives", the company of the earl's father was hacked by hackers for tens of millions, and the important data of the company's computer was hacked, and the bully was only slightly anxious. Such a plot setting, beyond the reality of life, but also beyond the normal logic, but the life of many people with money, is not what many viewers like?
Second, it illustrates the beauty of human nature. The love that breaks through the class barrier is always the main topic of the hegemonic theme, Liu Qing and Mu Wanqing in "Lazy Cat", Mu Wanqing forgets the existence of Liu Qing after losing his memory, but the latter uses his life to protect the heroine, what a touching love. In "Three Lives", the emotional drama of Qian Xiaoyan, a friend of the heroine's fifty-one, is added, and in the entanglement of good and evil in human nature, the beauty of the heroine's humanity is highlighted. The stubborn father, the black-bellied female second, the paranoid love enemy, the blackened enemy to the end, these contrasting elements, the protagonist's aura is brighter.
Again, it tells a growth story. After the male and female protagonists experience together, the amnesia will always recover their memories, and the trauma will always be self-healing, protecting you, achieving you, and healing you, such a melody runs through the daily life of the male and female protagonists. Let each other know what true love is, what is most important in life, and how to face life in the future. Such a growth story is particularly moving in "Three Lives", the earl played by Huang Jingyu, from "from the stupid son of the landlord's family", grew up to be an elite who started his own business to save the family, and the self-growth of this is very inspirational to young people.
In addition, it introduces a lot of anti-traditional concepts. The count's rebellion and reckless behavior; Liu Qing's super strong skills and security profession like a special soldier; the rare human settings and clever details design in life make many lines and dialogues in the play classics, and I personally feel that the letter left to her by Mu Wanqing's grandmother is quite well written. All this shows that the creator is doing things with his heart.
Overall, I personally feel that "Three Lives" is better than "Lazy Cat", but because I personally like Zhu Yawen, I recommend it to everyone at the same time. Idle, look at the awkward and up-and-over hegemonic drama, it is also good to relax. What do you think?
