Recently, a newly low-key "Big Mama's World" has made many young viewers become "tap water" Amway, and this hilarious short drama subverts the stereotype of "Chinese Big Mom", showing the happy and hard-core old age of big moms, and showing the gap between the elderly and the digital society in a humorous and witty narrative.
For example, the propaganda anti-fraud, the big mother will play the sharing economy "squeeze" health care product salesman; innuendo to quit the Internet addiction school, the big mother who is addicted to health is sent by her children to the health care anti-addiction school in the middle of the night; the ironic school district house rush, there are children who spend sky-high prices to buy "square dance rooms", so that big mothers are eligible to enter the square dance team in the community to win the national championship... All kinds of anti-routine plots and unexpected reversals make people laugh.
"Big Mama's World" can be said to be the "pearl of the sea" in the recent domestic drama, and when the majority of tap water netizens began amway, it has been broadcast for several days (January 17).
This is known as "the first Chinese big mom romantic hilarious short drama", just look at the lineup is very eye-catching:
One of the heroines, the retiree of the organ cadre and the captain of the community square dance team, "Wang Dama", is the childhood goddess and sweet song queen of many people, and li Lingyu, who is beautiful enough to pull everyone's eyes off Sun Wukong's body.

Their wives are also old acquaintances: one is Liang Tian, who played "I Love My Home", and the other is Wang Bozhao, who played the human form of "White Dragon Horse" in "Journey to the West".
A number of supporting roles are also shining stars, the most eye-catching is the Wei Zhen on the beach "Love Deep Rain" "Black Panther" Kou Zhenhai, this time he also played a male "green tea" with a deep heart.
The main coffee "old drama bones" are gathered, and the plot is even more surprising.
"The Story of Big Mama" is a unit drama form, a total of 20 episodes, each episode is only 5 or 6 minutes, mainly telling the colorful old life of Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang after retirement, showing the new generation of elderly people facing various challenges encountered in the era of network intelligence, and the solutions of big moms are often hardcore and ridiculous, and the content of 20 episodes is stunned to make 200 episodes of laughter!
The two old sisters began to form a deep friendship from the square dance competition, and the two chased the drama together, anti-fraud, bumped CP, bought blind boxes... Completely breaking the stereotype of the big mom group, these "old babies" are "surfing geniuses" living in the era of digital intelligence.
The first episode was "Wang Bang", which paid attention to the anti-fraud problem of the elderly that many children were worried about, but I had never been so "distressed" as a health product salesman:
On this day, the toilet of Aunt Wang's house was broken, and Xiao Li, a health product salesman, diligently helped her change the toilet and clean it, and her mouth was still smeared with honey as if she recognized Aunt Wang as a "dry mother".
Aunt Yang, who came to play from the side, took a look, no: Isn't this the most common way to sell health care products to defraud the elderly? She quickly reminded the old sister to be careful of being deceived.
Aunt Wang was lazy and posed with a strategic posture. In fact, she knows that Xiao Li is a liar, she just takes Xiao Li as a free labor force, and she is looking for various reasons to delay the purchase of health care products.
Watching Aunt Wang enjoy the services of free labor every day, Aunt Yang is very envious, and also recognizes Xiao Li as a son, after all, there is a cheap and not to take advantage of the white.
Over time, the big mother of the whole community found that the "free labor" Xiao Li was a treasure, but the big mother was more small and less Li, and Xiao Li was too busy to come.
In order to build a harmonious community, the big moms learn to use the "sharing economy" alive, discussing raising 200 yuan a week to pretend to be tricked by Xiao Li to stabilize him, and then everyone took turns to "squeeze" Xiao Li to do housework, and Aunt Yang called it "scientific raising li, scientific use of Li".
They also set up a "Xiao Li sharing group", one family shouted in the group when they were busy, and the next one went to find Xiao Li to work.
As a result, every household can see the busy figure of Xiao Li's wheel rotation.
In the end, Xiao Li collapsed: Forget it, I will eat the company's health care products to kill myself, a hundred!
The next second, Xiao Li cried with joy because the police came to the door, and he was arrested for suspected fraud.
Finally, you can escape the "clutches" of those big moms! Policeman, do you know how long I've been waiting for you!
In the police notice posted in the community at the end, Xiao Li not only showed a sincere smile, but even gained a lot of weight during the days in the detention center...
A little Li was arrested, and another little week came, and the aunts looked at the "free labor" delivered to the door and showed a meaningful smile.
What is the so-called "the most high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey"!
A warm reminder at the end of each episode
Not only is it to sound the anti-fraud alarm bell to the elderly, but also to criticize and satirize some of the words and deeds of some aunts who lack quality in a way that absurdly develops the plot.
For example, it will definitely be mentioned that "square dancing grabs the ground". In the play, the square dance aunts have made several masters with the basketball boys, and the damage tricks they came up with are really not ordinary brain holes that can be figured out.
As the leader of the square dance team, Aunt Wang preemptively launched a "magic attack", constantly asking the boys "whether they have a girlfriend" and "whether they have bought a house" and other "murderous curses".
In the end, the other party's psychological defenses were broken, lying down, and the aunts of the square dance team stepped on the music of victory and strode into the basketball court with arrogance.
The boys were not easy to bully, and the next day they drove a bus into the neighborhood and played loudly "Respect the old and love the young, please give a seat to those in need."
The big aunt who moved the DNA uncontrollably rushed to the bus to grab a seat, and the dance venue was lost.
The aunts were angry, simply did not do two or two, most of the night with plastic wrap sealed basket; the boys continued to fight back, directly let the head of the household use the basketball court as a parking lot, no one wanted to use this land!
But ginger is still old and spicy: the big moms sprinkle corn on the basketball court to attract "massive" pigeons, and the bird droppings in the sky drive away the people who parked...
There is also an episode, which says that the aunts went to visit the Zhuangyuan Building, who had been admitted to Tsinghua University, used the students who were bathing as wishing pools, and smashed the steel hammers of his brain...
There is a big mother who is the most outrageous, she even wants to put the turtle bought in the morning vegetables in the bathtub and release it!
Don't be so polite... The little brother .jpg in horror
Some plot settings, rather than telling the story of Big Mama, are actually more like borrowing Big Mama's perspective to reflect some social phenomena. There is no sensationalism, no preaching, but let the audience get thinking while laughing and shouting "up", so that audiences of all ages can get empathy from it.
Now the popular "blind box economy" of young people is reflected in the play, but the mothers grab the "egg blind box", which can be called the most "crazy" episode of the whole series.
Big moms are frantically snapping up eggs in supermarkets, resulting in a soaring chicken price, eggs have become a hot commodity, an egg is difficult to find and needs armed escort, but if you break one, it will be ruined.
Chickens are no longer simple chickens, that is called "mine chickens"; chicken farms have also changed their name, called "mines".
This fanatical painting style, in 2013, when the Chinese aunt bought a large amount of gold in the face of the continuous sharp decline in the international gold price, led to the international gold price to hit the largest single-day increase in the year.
In the Internet era, big data has also affected the big moms.
There is an episode that said that the mothers are worried about what color of square dance performance clothes to buy, and as a result, Aunt Wang casually said that she would eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at night, and the mobile shopping APP pushed her a lot of red and yellow clothes.
Later, Aunt Wang asked Aunt Yang to pick up her grandson, the name of the class was "Panda Class", and the APP pushed her black and white clothes. The two felt something was wrong, and finally found that the mobile phone software was listening, and then recommended the product based on the content of their conversation.
So in order to push out the mobile phone software to push out a fair and objective trend of clothing, Aunt Wang took away everyone's mobile phones during the meeting, but she did not expect that there were children talking about Ultraman in the mobile phone storage.
outcome...... Is this the "Mother of Ott"?? （bushi）
In addition to the noisy daily life between the little sisters, the entry point of "mother-daughter transposition" is also a very wonderful highlight of the play, so that young audiences have a sense of substitution. When I was a child, it was the mothers who caught children who skipped school and played games in the Internet café every day, running around for the school district room, and now it is the turn of this group of children to worry.
Aunt Wang is addicted to watching the health "IQ tax", and her daughter will not let her see it, so she will find an excuse to hide in the Internet café. Just laughing at some children who were caught by their parents, she found that her daughter was already standing behind her, "Didn't you say square dance plus practice, come here to practice?" ”
Later, the daughter sent Aunt Wang to the health and anti-addiction school, where she had to drink water to drink Coke, eat fried food, and soak her feet in an ice bucket.
Do you want to go to bed early at night to detoxify your liver? Sleep what a bummer! Two index fingers are like two monkeys, pointing to the shining ball of light!
This wave of anti-addiction, Yang Yongxin had to call out "insider" when he saw it!
When mothers grabbed school district houses for their children, now there are children who spend sky-high prices to buy "square dance rooms", so that big moms are eligible to enter the square dance team that won the national championship in this community.
At that time, mothers urged their children to take the exams, and now there are children who stop the mothers from going out to play, and honestly practice piano at home to take the university for the elderly.
But if the child does not study well, the mother can still enjoy a meal of "bamboo shoot roast meat"; what if the mother does not study well?
"Why, you still have to beat me up?" The opposite?! ”
"I, I... Then I'll beat your child! "Coax the family members to do filial piety."
The big mother has not used the exam, and she still has to examine her children, what unit? Which position? What is the annual income?
Is there some "little ascension" that smell now? It's really a good reincarnation of heaven, who has the heavens spared...
Although in the recent domestic drama is considered to be an unpopular work, there is no traffic blessing, nor is it a big production, but this ingenious "big heroine" short drama because of the fast pace of the film, dense laughter, coupled with the plot content grounded, the old drama bone acting skills are fully online, and recently in some tap water amway finally won the attention and love of many netizens.
Many netizens have directly called out that they seem to see their mother's figure in the play, and there are hot comments that call it "2022 Happy Divine Drama", "This drama is not much better than the traffic injection drama? ”
On the Douban platform, this drama has not yet opened a score, most of the scores of netizens in the front row of popular reviews are more than four stars and five stars, and many of them have commented that film and television works like this with middle-aged and elderly groups as the protagonists are really rare, and it is even rarer to shoot so vividly and interestingly.
The biggest problem is that it is too short, the funny life of Sister Wang and Sister Yang has not yet watched the addiction to the end of the drama, and the last episode is all the bullet screen of "Seeking the Second Season".
However, some viewers said that the play only used many network memes on the body of the big mother group, the audience group of this drama is not obvious, and the young audience may not be interested because the protagonist is the big mother; but the play also quotes or implies a dense Internet cultural content, and the middle-aged and elderly audience may not understand and cannot keep up with the rhythm.
Therefore, some netizens think that this "Big Mom's World" may actually be talking about the scene after women after the 80s and 90s become big moms, which is not in line with the current image of the big mom group.
According to the Yangtze Evening News, director Peng Chen once said that in his creation, he tried 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." 」
Lead actor Li Lingyu also mentioned that the new generation of "big mothers" want to break the stereotype of the public, "Who won't get old?" We must constantly try new things, live to learn from the old, and be elegant to the old. She also revealed that her son is also chasing this drama, "Parents are 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 Li Lingyu's view, the four words "Chinese big mother" are broad, and the big mothers in the play are also the epitome of this group, "Now that the economic conditions are good, this 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. ”
And the concept of "Chinese big mother" is also constantly updated, 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 older generation, but also to absorb some of the new things brought to us by young people", Li Yulan also hopes that "old partners" should 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. ”
Li Lingyu and Mu Liyan also recently filmed Men's Clothing magazine
Well, now that there is "Big Mama's World", is it possible to look forward to "Uncle's World" in the future?
