When we discuss urban life dramas in recent years, we often can't avoid a topic, that is, when the middle class is full of screens in pursuit of spiritual prosperity, where do the poor go?
Once the film and television works are distorted, ordinary people cannot find emotions that can be substituted. Haiqing's new drama "Heart Residence" is very clever to take the topic of "buying a house" as a national participation, and the emotion is not to buy a school district house, but to buy a house without money.
More than ten years ago, when Haiqing filmed "Snail Residence", Guo Haiping, a migrant worker she played, tried to buy a house in a big city by herself, although the means were not smart, fortunately, she was very hardworking and ambitious. More than ten years later, Haiqing is still working hard, but the direction of her efforts is to advocate her husband's family to buy her a house in Shanghai, and the target of the strategy is a rich sister with tens of millions of assets.
Regarding whether the family should help buy a house, the audience outside the venue has been quarreling since the first episode was broadcast. Help is love is not help is the duty, so is home a reasonable or reasonable place? No one can say for sure. So the direction of the audience's debate has risen to become a confrontation between the perspective of the rich and the poor, and some netizens who can't watch it have stood up and said, look, why can't the poor be the protagonist of the domestic drama, because when they are scolded!
This kind of view is also the original intention of Entertainment Sauce to write this article. Indeed, "Heart Residence" is a rare urban life drama that focuses the main lens on the "poor" in recent years, the heroine Feng Xiaoqin, played by Haiqing, the lowly educated foreign daughter-in-law stayed in Shanghai by marrying, and for 8 years she took care of the four generations of the Gu family's grandchildren almost all year round, at the same time, she also had to endure the Gu family's defense against her. Compared with the Gu family, who were born and raised in Shanghai, Feng Xiaoqin is indeed very poor, has no real estate of her own, has no financial resources, and only has 30,000 savings in her hand.
At first glance, the life security is worrying, but Feng Xiaoqin actually does not have much pressure in life.
The three-bedroom house is handed down by the elderly of the Gu family, the personal living expenses and the education costs of the son are borne by the husband, and the family expenditure part is the old man's package, not to mention the eldest sister Gu Qingyu from time to time to subsidize the family.
Therefore, Feng Xiaoqin's real life is an ordinary family norm with more than the upper and lower levels, of course, compared with the exquisite middle class, the 2.5 million old broken primary school district houses are still her unattainable dreams.
Feng Xiaoqin was scolded because she had the idea of buying a house, but not having money was not the original sin, but her selfish and greedy desire and values of not distinguishing between right and wrong.
What is feng Xiaoqin's purpose in buying a house?
In the words she put on the table in the play, it is to fill her sense of belonging in Shanghai with a house, but also to improve the quality of personal family life, including the behavior of her chicken baby and chicken husband, all in the hope of achieving a class jump, just like the eldest sister generally relies on ability to rewrite fate.
But what about the purpose of not putting it on the table? The Gu family is not a fool, especially Gu Qingyu has long seen through Feng Xiaoqin's purpose, from the very beginning Feng Xiaoqin married the incompetent Gu Lei, just to stay in Shanghai.
Feng Xiaoqin also privately told her own sister that when her life improved, she would take over her parents and brothers from her hometown and gain a firm foothold in Shanghai.
Feng Xiaoqin has her own wishful thinking is normal, and the absolutely perfect protagonist will be separated from reality. Moreover, in terms of taking care of the Gu family, Feng Xiaoqin has always been dedicated, who said that the value and payment of a housewife cannot be measured by money?
Let's look at the means that Feng Xiaoqin used in order to buy a house.
Feng Xiaoqin hit the idea on Gu Qingyu from the beginning, first, she is her husband's sister, and second, the entire Gu family Gu Qingyu is the richest. Feng Xiaoqin took it for granted that taking out a million down payments was a drizzle for Gu Qingyu, but she was embarrassed to come forward, so she instigated her husband to borrow money at Gu Qingyu's birthday party.
Here Feng Xiaoqin has a very horse-grabbing behavior, that is, he went to the stall to find a fake brand logo for 3 yuan and sewed it on the hand-knitted scarf to be given to Gu Qingyu.
Some people say that Feng Xiaoqin, a housewife, does not know what brand name, but it should be noted that she mentioned in the process of buying a logo that hopes to have an "authentic" texture, and finally chose the cheap one.
Gu Qingyu refused to borrow money on the grounds that he also wanted to buy a house. Feng Xiaoqin was angry and chose to run away from home to "demonstrate", the solution given by Gu Qingyu was to write the name of the old man of the Gu family under the name of his school district to solve the problem of his nephew's schooling, but Feng Xiaoqin insisted on buying a house.
As for the repayment pressure proposed by Gu Qingyu on the surface, in fact, it is not in Feng Xiaoqin's consideration at all. She herself only has 30,000 savings, she has no income, her husband belongs to the Moonlight Clan, and clear-eyed people can see that this money may not be able to pay back for a lifetime, hindering the love of her relatives, Feng Xiaoqin also expects Gu Qingyu not to be too embarrassed for her brother. Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet that if you don't lend money to someone else, you may lose not only your principal, but also your friends. This sentence is also used in Chinese-style families, mixed with human accounts, and nine times out of ten are confused accounts.
When the Gu family summoned the seven aunts and eight aunts to fight to Feng Xiaoqin to do the ideological work of not buying a house, Feng Xiaoqin lost her temper with the reason that "8 years of nannies have hundreds of thousands of wages", and the Gu family's father was forced to take out 500,000 yuan of pension money to support Feng Xiaoqin to buy a house, Feng Xiaoqin served the family for so many years, and her efforts needed to be returned.
From Gu Qingyu's position, she was grateful to Feng Xiaoqin, but she did not owe Feng Xiaoqin, she could help her brother's family if she did not have bad money, she also showed that she could bear the education costs of her nephew and subsidize the Gu family, but no one's money was blown by the wind, and no matter how rich she was, she would not give a million in vain.
But Feng Xiaoqin will not understand the sophistication of the people, and after learning that Gu Qingyu gave up the plan to buy a house, he still wants to borrow millions of decoration costs from Gu Qingyu to reduce the pressure of the small family.
Gu Qingyu still refused to nod, and Feng Xiaoqin calculated gu Qingyu's loyal suitor Zhan Xiang and successfully borrowed a million by betraying Gu Qingyu's ideas and whereabouts.
With the unexpected death of her husband Gu Lei, Feng Xiaoqin's dream of buying a house was also completely soaked. The factor that contributed to Gu Lei's death was that the Gu family held a small meeting to persuade Gu Lei to be wary of Feng Xiaoqin, and when buying a house, he could not only write Feng Xiaoqin's name, feng Xiaoqin was angry but had a dispute with Gu Lei, which indirectly led to Gu Lei's death.
Until Feng Xiaoqin's outbreak after Gu Lei's death, the entertainment sauce shuddered at Feng Xiaoqin's distorted values. Feng Xiaoqin's insecure childhood made her form a strong psychological protection mechanism in adulthood, in the process of attributing Gu Lei's death, she instinctively pushed all the faults onto the Gu family, blamed the Gu family for her defense of this foreign daughter-in-law, blamed Gu Qingyu for interfering too much in the conjugal life between them, and even jumped out of the words of Gu Qingyu snatched Gu Lei Yangshou:
Empathizing with Feng Xiaoqin and accusing people of "poverty is original sin", most of them are replaced by Feng Xiaoqin's 8-year foreign daughter-in-law and housewife's difficult perspective, but only ignore Feng Xiaoqin's greedy nature. She is eager to rewrite her fate by marrying someone, but with her own ability, Gu Lei is already the highest springboard in all her choices; and Feng Xiaoqin's ambition for the future itself is also attached to the Gu family's big son, using the Gu family's connections to seek development for her sister, using the Gu family's money to become a real Shanghainese, once there is a slight gap between reality and ideals, the Gu family is the culprit who destroys her dreams in her eyes.
Looking at the later stage, Feng Xiaoqin has a personal growth line, and may gradually wash away the public's negative perception of her.
But in real life, where is so much beautification. The most terrible thing in the world is unreasonable people, urban life drama really presents human nature is a risky thing, positive feedback is able to trigger the audience's empathetic discussion, thus driving heat; reverse erosion is cumbersome parents short will let the audience who is already caught in the torrent of life stop in front of the door, because real life, far worse than the drama.
