On February 10, the TV series "Dress Up" has aired to its sixth episode. In the review article after the premiere of the show, I once thought that this TV series mixed the two elements of fashion and suspense together, and the narrative was more dangerous, especially the situation that "Dress" was truth-seeking, and the real situation did not come, making this TV series easy to fall into a state of self-hilarity. After 6 episodes of the plot, I intend to add some review content.
After 6 episodes of the plot, the suspense of "Dress up" is significantly reduced. Abandoning suspense and focusing on fashion is a more correct narrative idea. At present, "Dressage" actually only designs a suspense point, that is, why George committed suicide. After 6 episodes of the plot, many hidden clues have explained why, nothing more than suffering from depression, and facing the headquarters audit and so on. After 6 episodes, "Dressage" enters the world of two women. This kind of content that focuses on workplace narratives is also familiar to the audience, and then it is easy to shine.
So, is "Dressage" a mutant of a female workplace palace fight drama? With the appearance of Yuan Yongyi's role, this mode of female palace fighting in the workplace is obviously clearer. However, from the current plot content, the screenwriter and director should not be satisfied with only women's workplace battles. Because, after all, this narrative model is so vulgar that it is not only unoriginal, but also lacks basic value. Behind "Dressage", there should be more plot value to pursue.
What pursuit? Girl helps the girl in her narrative pursuits. At present, many fashion dramas in the world, opening the situation, are women's workplace palace fighting mode, but the final ending, is the woman to help women, especially in the process of workplace palace fighting, the two heroines suddenly found themselves are chess pieces, are in a dangerous state, and then, the two join hands to achieve the big ending of women helping women. After 6 episodes of the TV series "Dress up", the direction of this kind of situation of women helping women is clearer.
The most interesting thing about this TV series is that the magazine "Dress" is already on the verge of closure, and this kind of closure is not its own poor management, but the paper media has been under the impact of the more convenient media on the Internet, and the entire paper media industry will be dumped. When the entire industry is about to fall, the content of the magazine is still going to appear in the situation of women's palace fights in the workplace, which is bound to cause the audience to reflect - is such a workplace palace fight really good? Is it really necessary? Therefore, in this way, this TV series uses workplace palace fighting to oppose workplace palace fighting. The design of the time node when the print media is about to decline is the most noteworthy.
This TV series seems to be a woman's play, but in fact, it is a man's play. Whether it is Song Jia or Yuan Yongyi, in the plot that has been broadcast, they are all tool people. In other words, in these two characters, there is no shadow of women. Checking out the screenwriter of "Dress up", it is indeed male, the director, and also male. When portraying female characters, this TV series inevitably creates women as men, and there is no real female thinking mode. Therefore, no matter how hard Song Jia and Yuan Yongyi perform, they can only let the audience see the lack of strength of the screenwriter in the creation of female characters.
What is particularly weak is the role of Song Jia's role in the swimming pool, and the use of this way to carry out sports catharsis is still just a product of the typical male screenwriter's thinking barrier. Because of this, the real highlights of this "Costume" are the male characters in the abnormal state. When a male screenwriter creates another self hidden deep within himself, the character stands. The most standing role in "Dress" at present is Lu Binbin, played by Chen He. How many men who flaunt the sunshine have hidden such a yin and whizzing Lu Bin Ha in their hearts.
Chen He's performance is also very authentic. Especially when the two female protagonists held a topic selection meeting together, when Lu Binbin came in to make trouble, the scale and measure of the pinch were really just right. Chen He cried behind the camera, and the level of performance simply complemented the level of the screenwriter's character. Therefore, don't say that Chen He has no acting skills, this is a clever actor, he is far stronger than many actors of the same age when he pinches some negative roles.
Based on this, I think that the TV series "Dress up" is a TV series that is fully masculine and men strive for femininity. In the play, a large number of female executives are male personality characteristics, which is of course the lack of creative strength of the screenwriter, but at the same time it should also be the deliberate effort of the male screenwriter. This TV series starts with the masculine content of the female workplace, and if it can eventually fall on the theme of how women become women, it may be the finishing touch. Because of this, the quality of "Dressage" is high or low, and it needs to be continued to be observed, especially its later plot direction and value orientation, which are most worth observing.
