Big moms are deceived by health product salesmen? Think too much! A mouthful of "dry mother", all-inclusive housework, the toilet polished, in order to ask for praise, scoop up a cup of toilet water and pour it into the throat. A group of witty big moms actually "shared" salesmen to become domestic servants. Tencent's hilarious short drama "Big Mama's World", which focuses on the later life of middle-aged and elderly people, refreshes the audience's stereotype of Big Mom.
In the interview, Li Lingyu told the Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter, "Who doesn't get old? The new generation of "big mothers" breaks everyone's stereotype, we must constantly try new things, live to learn from the old, elegant to the old. ”
The big moms are too witty, all brain holes and anti-routines
Cai Ming once played the enthusiastic "Idle Centaur Big Sister", but there has been no drama on the screen that makes the "big mothers" shine for a long time. Many people are not surprised that the "big mothers" act as "tool people" in urban love dramas or family ethics dramas: the emotional problems between two people, because of the "intervention" of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, often produce more dramatic effects. A short drama "Big Mama's World" that suddenly came online subverted this stereotype.
The first episode exploded - the health product salesman in the community unfortunately met a group of witty aunts who looked up to his labor force and did not look at his counterfeit products at all. The moms came up with an idea that would make people happily pat their thighs: the shared salesman, the sisters, who crowdfunded a little money and regularly took turns to let him cheat, maintaining this ultra-standard service at a low price for a long time. In the end, the salesman was forced to "self-harm" the counterfeit and shoddy products he was selling, and as a result, he was caught as a fraud. But the successors quickly took office, and the aunts looked at the new salesman with an eerie smile.
The "Big Mama's World", which makes netizens call it funny, has a total of 20 episodes, and the single episode is only 5 or 6 minutes long. Don't be too short - it is condensed in the brain holes of the screenwriter and director: witty and anti-fraud, keen on chasing dramas, dead blind boxes, addicted to health... The anti-routine plot not only shows the happy and hard-core old age life of the aunts, but also combines various fresh problems in the digital society, shows the gap between the elderly group and the digital society in a humorous and witty narrative way, directly hits the pain points of the digital society, and stimulates the children's attention to the parents' spiritual material needs and media use ability. Not only the big mom group, but also netizens of other ages can find some resonance from it.
Many netizens chase the drama without pressure, especially suitable for the next meal. "This kind of topic sitcom around the lives of big moms is really novel, and I feel more understanding of my mother's world after watching it." Many netizens lamented that the lines in the play are too trendy, "sharing Xiao Li", "consumption downgrading", "BE", "HE" and "dimensionality reduction". In the parents in the short clever integration of the current trendy things, finally there is a domestic drama in the elderly do not live for their children, retirement does not regress, dance square dance to play the inner volume, fight with young people, and big data to play "eavesdropping", too cute.
Director Peng Chen tries to build a bridge of communication between young and old people through the resonance of life experience across generations. "Everyone says that there is always a deep generation gap between a generation and a generation, and although I am not very old to personally feel the richness and pungency of old age, I think that when we deal with the difficulties and trivialities in life, those feelings of embarrassment, embarrassment or bitterness can be experienced by audiences of all ages." 」
Li Lingyu: To become a big mother, cultivation must also keep up
Speaking of two "big heroines", one of the protagonists, Mu Liyan (as Yang Defu), is a "national mother", she is the mother of Qu Xiaoxiu, the "little goblin" in "Ode to Joy", and the mother-in-law of Yu Huanshui in "I Am Yu Huanshui". The other is Li Lingyu (as Wang Yutian), the goddess of everyone's childhood and the "Jade Rabbit Essence" in "Journey to the West", and many people still have tapes of "Sweet Song Queen" in their homes. Maybe some people will worry, can Jade Rabbit Essence play a good mother? But for Li Lingyu, playing this favorite role is a breakthrough. "In fact, what age to do what kind of things, at this age I don't want everyone to know me is still stuck in the classic role." 」 She hopes that through this role, the audience can break the inherent cognition of her and re-recognize the "elderly Li Lingyu".
"This drama my son is also chasing, happy not to do", in the interview, Li Lingyu said, "parents are gradually getting old, this is a problem that every generation of young people will experience, and now the post-00s are also experiencing." Therefore, young people will not refuse this topic." In the play, the role of Aunt Wang is a retired cadre, who looks high and cold, but is actually a warm-hearted person, just like the neighbor aunt who lives around you and me, warm and kind, loves to fight and hug, is helpful, and has good intentions to do bad things. She revealed that the set is particularly joyful, every day is talking about the passage, but also often laughing. But the atmosphere of creation is particularly good. "The director would tell us about the play and ask us what we thought. When I encounter new vocabulary that I don't understand, I often check it out. ”
For this play, Li Lingyu deliberately went to learn square dance. In her view, the four words "Chinese big mother" are in a broad sense, and the big mothers in the play are also the epitome of this group, "Now the economic conditions are good, which can be reflected in the sunny and cheerful and full of confidence of the big mother." In my mind, Chinese aunts are a very positive group, bringing Chinese square dance to all corners of the world. ”
In fact, the concept of "big mother" is constantly updated and is not set in stone. The "new old people" born after 1960 have active consumption, a wide range of interests, and love new things. Li Lingyu said, "In the past, everyone had a certain view of the big mother who danced square dance, and now the big mother group is also advancing with the times. In the play, these witty mothers know a variety of social buzzwords, watch TV on the Internet to learn to distinguish new things, and many are also influenced by young people, and grow up together during menopause and rebellion. ”
"Our generation now has a lot to learn, to grasp the traditions left by the old generation, but also to absorb some of the new things brought to us by young people", she also hopes that "old partners" will broaden their horizons, keep up with the pace of the times, "constantly try new things, live to learn from the old, elegant to the old." I think that people who are about to become big mothers must also follow up in their cultivation. ”
