The recent fire of the "Beginning" TV series has resonated with many people, although most of them went to see this novel theme of infinite streaming and the production of the noonday sun. But after watching it, many netizens have said that this drama is really too grounded, and the life of everyone in the car reflects the living conditions of ordinary people at present.
Among them, the most empathetic scene is that when the heroine asked the pressure cooker aunt whether there was a sanitary napkin rejected, a migrant worker father turned over the sanitary napkin from the bottom of the suitcase placed at his feet and handed it to the female owner.
When the next scene switches to the monologue of the migrant worker's father, everyone figures out the situation, and it turns out that the landlord who rented the house gave him a broken suitcase to pack and move, and the box also contained confiscated things from the landlord's wife, including some clothes and sanitary napkins.
Supposedly, these things should be thrown away, but the father of the migrant worker thought about it and left the sanitary napkins to bring to his daughter who went to junior high school.
From the phone call from the father of the migrant worker to his daughter, it was learned that the reason for the family's debt made daily necessities such as sanitary napkins and facial cleansers a "luxury" for the family, so the father chose to keep the sanitary napkins.
And when faced with the needs of the heroine, the father still chose to hand the sanitary napkin that was very precious to him to the other party, obviously the difficulties of life did not overthrow the father, he chose the "the world kissed me bitterly, but I repaid it with a song" attitude of life, which really touched a lot of audiences here.
The drama "The Beginning" with the portrayal of a small detail reflects the two major situations of the current society, on the one hand, there are still many people like the father living in poverty at the bottom of the society; on the other hand, it is also reflecting the current social price situation, such as whether the price of sanitary napkins will be too high now.
Why does this person resonate? Because we have not seen the poor in TV dramas for a long time, many domestic dramas are under the guise of the poor, driving luxury cars, living in luxury houses, and even eating better than ordinary people.
For example, in "Life Home", the mother and daughter's life is poor, the only way to move can use the neighborhood committee to send funeral supplies, the abandoned garbage dump is their amusement park, and the problem of three meals is solved for free in the supermarket.
Guess what the next second? The next second the mother and daughter rent a large house of 6,000 yuan in Shanghai, with good lighting and a very exquisite pastoral style, the screenwriter told the audience that this is the life of the poor, and the audience can resonate with it.
For example, in "My True Friend", Cheng Zhen, played by Angelababy, is really an ordinary monthly salary, the customer service work is 2,000 yuan a month, and he is also saddled with credit card debts, which sounds quite poor.
But her poverty is only reflected in taking the bus to and from work, and even being cheated by strangers for 200 yuan is comforting herself that she is doing charity, living in a beautifully decorated one-bedroom and one-room hall in Shanghai, eating or self-hi pot, let alone saying that it is also thirty or forty yuan! Poor people set, screenwriters themselves to see is not embarrassed?
I have to say that the screenwriters of these TV series, like they have not gone deep into the bottom, do not even have ideas, and their logic cannot be rounded. There are poor and rich people in this world, since the idea of the poor is adopted, then the people at the bottom you shape must at least be close to reality! But many screenwriters are writing scripts with their feet, and the quality of life of the poor is even better than that of ordinary people!
Just like the father of the migrant worker we see in "The Beginning", his tightness is on the surface, there is no money to live in the underground garage, eating cold water + steamed bread, and even the boxes of moving fashion clothes are bad boxes that others do not need, which is the real image of the bottom people.
And I also hope that the fire of "Beginning" can give a wake-up shot to domestic dramas, and screenwriters can sink their hearts to write scripts, no longer pay attention to superficial kung fu, so that more domestic dramas can go abroad.
