The family drama "Heart House" starring Haiqing, Zhang Songwen and Tong Yao has been broadcast for 3 episodes at AQY.
I don't know whether it is because I am worried that the short plot in the parents is not optimistic about the market, or because director Teng Huatao did not dare to be too "ostentatious" after experiencing the defeat of "Shanghai Fortress", this TV series with a strong lineup and many topics has a very low overall performance.
Not only are there only a few relevant film and television hot searches, but even in the exclusive comment area of Douban, there are only sparse discussions.
13 years ago, Teng Huatao joined hands with Haiqing to shoot the popular "Snail Residence", which is still regarded as a classic.
13 years later, the two worked together again to make "Heart Residence", but after the premiere, the response was mediocre.
Is it that the short plot in the parents has been "passed", or is it just because the publicity is not in place, which affects the performance of the series?
The answer to this question is believed to be further explored.
But in any case, judging from the 3 episodes currently released, I think the overall quality of "Heart Residence" is still online.
First of all, the actor's understanding and interpretation of the role are very good.
The "national daughter-in-law" HaiQing is worthy of the name, portraying Feng Xiaoqin, a "foreign daughter-in-law" who is struggling in the center of the whirlpool of family contradictions, into three points, a sister-in-law who can fight with wisdom and shrewdness, angry husband at the bottom, and can also break out in a reasonable and well-founded manner in the face of the siege of in-laws' relatives.
Zhang Songwen once again confirmed that the breadth of the old drama bone drama road is really not to be underestimated. The "chartered public" Zhan Xiang, played by him, is an upstart, and his previous roles are completely different from those who are either righteous and awe-inspiring, or morally upright, but they can play the greasy state perfectly.
After Rong Zishan, a small actor he worked with in "The Hidden Corner", after watching it, he couldn't help but post a teasing article, "How did Daddy change?" ”
From Gu Jia in "Thirty Only" to Gu Qingyu this time, Tong Yao is still the "independent woman" she is best at playing this time.
Overheard colleagues chewing on the root of their tongues if calm, not accustomed to brothers and sisters-in-law but can calmly "think of each other";
Even when he accidentally reunited with the "White Moonlight" of his heart, he was obviously confused and confused, but he could still suppress his inner excitement and secretly investigate the other party's details afterwards. The scale of Tong Yao's emotional control over the strong woman is quite accurate.
The other supporting roles have all played very pyrotechnically, and even Feng Shaofeng, who is named "special starring", has also played an acting skill above the standard line. He plays Shi Yuan, who falls in the middle of the family road, and happens to meet Gu Qingyu of Qingmei Bamboo Horse when selling out his marriage qualifications, and through a very layered micro-expression and a small action of "cutting out three rooms and one hall", the embarrassing performance of the role is three points.
To sum up, if you are a person who likes to study acting, "Heart Dwelling" will certainly not disappoint you.
In addition, the family problems focused on by "Heart Residence" are also very grounded and worth exploring.
For example, the plot that impressed me the most: Feng Xiaoqin, who had no money, insisted on buying a house, and was unanimously opposed by her in-laws.
Feng Xiaoqin, the "foreign daughter-in-law" played by Haiqing, is a full-time wife who "writes the fate of the change of line" on her face.
She was born poor, in order to be able to take root in Shanghai, she married Gu Lei, who looked like a scumbag, and gave up her job under the persuasion of the other party, and became a full-time wife for nearly ten years, serving the four generations of the Gu family properly.
Of course, Feng Xiaoqin paid the labor force so "humbly" in order to change the lives of herself and her mother's family. She not only brought her sister Feng Xixi to share a room with the Gu family, but also advocated that her husband buy a suite for herself in the name of "thinking about her son".
However, because Gu Lei was so useless that he could not even earn a down payment after working for so many years, Feng Xiaoqin could only focus on the rich Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei's father, who "still had spare money". As long as either of them is willing to contribute, the down payment is there.
But Feng Xiaoqin never expected that he had been working as a cow and a horse in the Gu family for so many years, and in the eyes of the other party, he was just an outsider who "had no other plans".
After Gu Qingyu declined her request to borrow money, she reminded her father not to be soft-hearted because it involved her grandson's study, and also pointed out that her brother "You will be eaten by your wife when you move out", which means that Feng Xiaoqin is "tied up" by the big house.
After Feng Xiaoqin learned that her in-laws, including her husband, did not support her in buying a house, she was so angry that she had a seizure on the spot, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.
To this end, some netizens feel that Feng Xiaoqin is a bit "fussy":
Obviously living in a set of well-lit, space can accommodate more than 6 people in the large house, in the case of their own hands do not have a penny, the husband's income is not high, have to carry a mortgage of 1 million, is not this not guilty of finding guilt?
Purely from the perspective of economics, Feng Xiaoqin is absolutely irrational to borrow money to buy a house.
Feng Xiaoqin is a housewife with no income, and the pressure to repay the mortgage all falls on her husband.
But Gu Lei is an unmotivated ordinary employee, and his salary is estimated to be only enough for daily expenses.
Coupled with the fact that his son Xiaohu has gone to school, the cost in all aspects is not low, I believe that they can still make it up at present, largely because of the pension of the two elderly people of the Gu family and the subsidy of Gu Qingyu.
Once Feng Xiaoqin moved out, she not only took on the mortgage, but also lost the financial assistance of the Gu family.
According to Gu Lei's performance of not being able to support the wall in the mud, Feng Xiaoqin has no choice but to return to the workplace to earn money and support her family.
Not to mention that she has not worked for 10 years, whether her knowledge reserves and work ability can adapt to the changes in the contemporary workplace.
To say that she has to take care of her family and cope with the pressure of the workplace is simply lackluster, and her quality of life has decreased visibly.
Such an obvious "uneconomical" choice, why did Feng Xiaoqin insist on doing so? Is she having a confused life?
In fact, from the passage she posted to the Gu family, we can find the reason why she "knows that there are tigers in the mountains and is biased towards the tiger mountain line".
First, the lack of love since childhood and the lack of security without their own house
Feng Xiaoqin said bluntly that she has been insecure since she was a child because of family reasons. Although the relevant story line has not yet been developed, it is very likely that the misfortune of the original family has caused her to lack love since childhood.
There is already a lack of mentality, and the life partner is still a person who can't give her a sense of security, so she can only pin her sense of security on real estate such as a house.
Second, "foreign daughters-in-law" are not recognized by the in-laws and have no sense of belonging
It can be seen from the behavior of the Gu family to "hold a small meeting" behind closed doors at every turn, once there is any major decision in the family, Feng Xiaoqin is definitely not the person who can give opinions, and sometimes even has no qualifications to observe.
How can living under the same roof but being treated like an outsider have a sense of belonging on such a day?
Therefore, having a house of your own is actually a belonging that can be equalized and respected.
Third, the vision is too low, for people to deal with the world "a tendon"
In addition to psychological factors such as insecurity and belonging, Feng Xiaoqin's perennial lack of work has led to too low vision.
There is a plot in the play, Feng Xiaoqin deliberately knitted a scarf by hand in order to please Gu Qingyu. But what makes people feel speechless is that she obviously told Gu Qingyu that she knitted it by herself, but she still had to "draw a snake and add feet" to sew a fake brand LOGO.
Don't say that Gu Qingyu, who is accustomed to wearing a brand name, will be embarrassed, even if we watch across the screen, we will feel that Feng Xiaoqin's behavior is inappropriate.
But in fact, Feng Xiaoqin did not feel that there was any problem, but also felt that Gu Qingyu gave away her scarf and looked down on her.
This plot fully reflects that Feng Xiaoqin is a person with extremely low vision, and there is no concept of genuine luxury jewelry at all. Moreover, the thinking is still relatively stubborn, as long as the truth of their own determination will be "one by one".
In such a state, as long as she believes that "having a house can have a sense of security", even if she knows that she will have to pay a painful price, she will carry out her plan without hesitation.
In summary, "Heart Residence" is a family ethics drama with actor acting skills online and a more grounded plot.
However, due to the fact that film and television works with similar themes have not been welcomed by the market in recent years, whether "Heart Residence" can become a popular drama out of the circle needs to be further verified by public word of mouth.
