On February 18, the TV series "Thirty-Nine" can already be watched on the video platform for two episodes. Starring Actors such as Sun Yizhen and Tian Meidu, this TV series is about the love and life of single women who are about to enter their forties. Television drama works focusing on thirty plus women, forty plus women, and older plus women have become more and more numerous in recent years. The earlier hit "Thirty Only" is a 30-year-old woman, this time 'Thirty-Nine' is a 40-year-old woman, and the popular "Old Girlfriend" of Yangba is a 60-year-old or even higher woman.
These TV series provide viewers with a female perspective on the world. This kind of narrative perspective is rare in previous TV drama works. This is also the reason why such TV series are easy to get the affirmation of female audiences. Like this "Thirty-Nine", the heroines are placed under the pressure of a 39-year-old age, re-examining love and life. This kind of scrutiny seems to be something that a large number of women need to face.
In the plot content, the heroine runs a medical beauty institution, has two of her girlfriends, and the three are like-minded, traveling together to eat and drink, and life seems to be leisurely. However, in the premiere plot, the supporting actress's role is very sufficient, which is an important role that can sting the audience. It turned out that this girl had fallen in love with a man in her twenties, and this man studied abroad, and the girl did not follow. Subsequently, the man married another woman abroad. After returning to China, this "cheating" man continued to associate with the second woman. The two maintained a morbid relationship.
As the second woman said, since the man got married, nothing physical has happened to the two of them. However, the second woman has been expecting this man to divorce. However, reality always punches in the face. The second woman went to visit the man's company, and it happened that the man's wife came to check the post, and the man pretended to be innocent and took his wife to stroll in the rain, across the street corner, and another woman could only face the bitter rain. I don't know if this is the norm for some older young women. At the best time of life, meet a man you like, and when you add forty, this man has already become someone else's man.
Among the plot content that has been broadcast in "Thirty-Nine", another very interesting plot point is that the female second and the female protagonist chat at night, and the female second keenly finds that the female protagonist is different, and then, happily asking, decades later, are you finally having that kind of life with the boy again? This bridge section cannot be regarded as a colored content, but should be regarded as a great intuition between women. This is a very sensitive life observation section. The slight changes in women's bodies and consciousness, their girlfriends, can be experienced. This is an important point that distinguishes women from men.
In this TV series work, the female protagonist played by Sun Yizhen and the male protagonist have only seen three faces, and the two have directly stepped into the main topic of going home to sleep. It is estimated that such a bridge section also has a collision force for some young audiences. In the adult world, there are indeed not so many twists and turns, and there is no need to engage in so many gradual steps after meeting people you like. Straight to the point, on the contrary, there is a kind of forty plus women's life choices.
Of course, in this TV series, the women who are about to turn 40 have entered a state that does not need to work or do not need to work. In particular, the heroine can actually take a year off and spend it in a tourist area in the United States. This relaxed and pleasant rest environment is more like a preparation for idol dramas. Of course, it is not excluded that there are indeed many women at this age who can achieve relative financial freedom. But this freedom not to be burdened by life seems to provide a beautiful idol drama imagination space for more female audiences.
From the perspective of men, especially middle-aged and elderly men, I prefer to see the 40-year-old women in the play, not only facing who to fall in love with, how to talk about a like-minded love, but also what things to think about when they are born at this age. For example, at this age of succession, the elderly and children are what they need to take care of, and women at this stage should treat themselves in such a life.
If I look at "Thirty-Nine" from my point of view, it may be a pure idol drama. It provides 40-year-old women with a space for self-soothing idol dramas, but it does not lead this audience to think about what they really need to face. For men, they tend to look at themselves and do things at what age. A 40-year-old man, how to still love the brain, may be laughed at. Women, on the other hand, seem to have become a consensus on love. In addition to falling in love, do 40-year-old women have any other serious things? This seems to be something that the playwright is unwilling to answer and unable to answer.
Our female drama, 20-year-old, in love, 30-year-old, still in love, 40-year-old, still in love... This is the sadness of women's dramas. We always say that middle-aged men should do their fatherhood well. And it seems that they dare not tell female netizens that at the age of motherhood, they should not love the brain and the heart of a girl. Whoever says this may be labeled as discriminating against older women. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
