There is a controversial fictional character in the TV series "The Age of Awakening". She is Liu Mei, and in the play, there is also a relationship line with Chen Yannian that makes people look a little "inexplicable", which makes many viewers feel bad. In fact, in the 12-year TV series "Our French Years", there is also a fictional character with more ink - Zong Yupei, and she and Chen Qiaonian still have an emotional line, but both the role and the emotional line are well received. The same fictional character, also has an emotional line with the two brothers of the Chen family, why is the evaluation of Zong Yupei and Liu Mei so different?

First, appearances. In the wakefulness, Liu Mei's first appearance is to sprinkle water on Yannian Qiao Nian, and then refuse to apologize and kick them out of school. The appearance of an unruly and unreasonable person makes most viewers' first impression of her worse, so even if her later behavior is not much annoying, it is difficult to offset the bad impression she left on the audience for the first time. The appearance of Zong Yupei in the Fa-year-old is relatively mild, she is the younger sister of Zong Xuzhi, the founder of the Junior China Association, and is also a typical big miss image. In the case of the plot, she appeared with one of Zong Xu, and then Chen Qiao Nian and Chen Yannian were driven out of the house by Chen Yannian to spend the night at the Zong family, and the two met. Looking at it this way, Zong Yupei's appearance from appearance to acquaintance with Chen Qiaonian seems reasonable. In contrast, Liu Mei's appearance and acquaintance with Chen Yannian are indeed too blunt, as if they are hard to squeeze in. Moreover, in the play, Liu Mei's attitude change towards Yannian is also very blunt, and there is almost no specific description, which may also lead to the audience's inability to accept this role.

Second, the problem of acting, character and appearance. Zong Yupei in the Fa-year is well protected by Zong Xuzhi, and has always had a bit of a childlike mentality, but at the same time, he also takes into account the temperament of a rich lady, such a person is very pleasing regardless of whether it is inside or outside the play, and the actor's grasp in this aspect is also appropriate and natural, and will not let people ignore her own charm because of her emotional line with Qiao Nian. The willow eyebrows in the awakening are most complained about by the audience, which is about the appearance and acting skills. However, in my opinion, the problem of appearance is actually not a problem, and the play does not say that Liu Mei is a big beauty. As for the acting skills, to be honest, I think her two best scenes are the live newspaper drama and the separation, and the rest are almost not impressed. Because the character of Liu Mei exists entirely dependent on Chen Yannian, apart from this, she herself does not seem to have anything worthy of big books.

Third, the scene setting. It is reported that the actor of Liu Mei seems to be the daughter of the producer behind the awakening, which will inevitably make the audience suspicious of it. And in the play, Liu Mei's role is indeed too much, so that it squeezes a lot of Qiao Nian's role. For example, the most controversial Yannian was injured by the horse team, Liu Mei accompanied him, as the dearest brother Qiao Nian from childhood to adulthood, how could he leave his brother and run home by himself? And the next day Yannian woke up in the hospital, only Gao Junman and Liu Mei came to see him, but Qiao Nian, as a younger brother, did not appear, and only used a sentence "He has a cold and fever" hurriedly brought over. This is also a few of the places in the play that feel unreasonable. However, in the Legal Years, although Yannian's role is also very small, but it is all laid out by the reasonable plot, Qiao Nian was expelled from the house by Yannian because of his wavering in anarchism and a strong interest in socialism, and he stayed overnight at the Zong family and thus got to know Zong Yupei, so the emotional line between the two came naturally with the development of the plot.
Fourth, the ending. In the wake of the awakening, in the end, Liu Mei still obeyed her father's arrangement and did not escape the cage of the class, in fact, it can be said that she did not have the courage to escape the cage that could give her rich living conditions, so do not choose to compromise in the end. During the Fa years, Zong Yupei wanted to go to Moscow with him because he admired Qiao Nian, and was willing to believe in socialism for him, but he also encountered opposition and resistance from his family, and even did not let her meet with Qiao Nian. In order not to compromise, she would rather choose to jump into the river to kill herself, saying that she vowed to die and stand on the same front as Qiao Nian. Such a comparison, it can be seen that Zong Yupei is not only for love, but also for her own dignity, so she dares to rush forward, dares to break through the cage, she has been growing. And after the willow eyebrows went around in a circle, there was still no courage and no growth, as if the big miss had passed the family. Standing tall and low, it is natural that Zong Yupei will be more popular with the audience.
Finally, the different emphases of the two dramas also lead to differences in the characters. The French age is mainly about a group of young men and women who go to France to pursue the way to save the country or to find ideals, focusing on young men and women, so whether it is male or female, the image portrayal is very full. The awakening is mainly about the history of the period from 1915 to 1921, and the main characters are also revolutionary leaders like Chen Zhongfu and Li Shouchang, so in the portrayal of female images, there is no fullness in the law. However, the age of awakening is still a good drama worthy of praise.
Although the fictional character evaluations of the two dramas are very different, the drama is still outstanding. I suggest that after watching "The Age of Awakening", you can seamlessly connect "Our French Years", whispering, Zhao Shiyan played by Teacher Li Hongliang is too charming, that is, Zhao Shiyan in my heart.
