Holding his breath, he chased the third season of "My Genius Girlfriend".
When I was still immersed in the darkness of this season, I brushed up on the hot search that this divine drama was going to be remade in China.
Look at this introduction copywriting, the eyes are familiar and down:
"Plastic Girlfriend Love, Italian version of "July and Ansheng""
"Girlfriends who make waves, a sister and a vendetta"
Fans who have chased the drama and fans of the original book said that they could not stand it.
Not to mention whether the female dilemma and sexual consciousness awakening in the story can be filmed. Whether the jealousy, competition, and complex and delicate friendship between women can be reproduced is still a question mark.
Lila and Lennon, two girls who have been secretly competing since childhood.
Going to school is better than grades, falling in love is better than men, getting married is better than life, anyway, you can't bow to the wind.
Lila has a strong personality, fights with senior boys, directly throws stones and smashes people; she slaps her classmates without a word, and shoots quickly and accurately.
He is also gifted in learning, skipping the third grade by self-study, and is at the top of the class. The appearance came with its own filter, and God seemed to have given her all the good things.
Lennon, on the other hand, is well-behaved and docile, like a "wooden beauty", lacks opinion in case of things, and is willing to be Lila's shadow.
They live in slums full of violence and chaos, where Lennon and Lila vow to flee, eager to make money and change their fate like the authors of Little Women.
At the age of 12, their fate quietly changed.
Lila's parents refused to let her study because the shoemaker's daughter could not escape the life of making shoes.
Lennon, on the other hand, was blessed by Heaven, and if she could continue her studies, she had to meet her father's condition: "You have to be the best one in the class."
In this way, the two embarked on different paths completely, and they were pulled by jealousy and competition.
Never stopped competing in her studies, Lila was busy with shoe shop chores and taught herself Latin, and Lennon couldn't figure out the grammar she knew.
But after she knew that Lennon could learn Greek in high school, she savored this complicated look.
In the secret competition, Lennon's results are among the best, but they cannot replace each other.
Because Lila began to choose a new battlefield for PK. She already knew that reading books could not change the predicament, so she might as well grab a man.
After the development of Lila, dangerous and charming, coupled with her intelligence, the two rich young masters in the city are obsessed with her.
When she was pursued by Stefano, the son of the butcher shop owner, in a convertible, dressed in high fashion, and in and out of high-end restaurants, Lennon was still working hard to study.
Marriage is a shortcut for women to rewrite their identities, and Lila has done it.
Her wedding was quite grand, and rich and powerful people in the city were invited to come. Lila finally moves into a new room with a cloakroom and a washroom, becomes the hostess, and transforms into a "princess".
All this deeply stimulated Lennon, she could not see her way out, and even wanted to find a man to marry and have children.
After marriage, Lila was the enviable Mrs. Karachi. But she did not indulge in marriage, relying on ingenuity to make the shoe store stand up to the wind
But marriage didn't give Lila real social status. In the snobbish in-laws, her dignity was trampled on, and the violence of her newlywed husband was suffocating.
The most ironic thing is that Lila returned to her mother's house after her honeymoon, and no one cared about the wound on her face.
Attending the prom, there are also stark contrasts. In the past, Lennon was the one who was hung out in the corner, and in the party of teachers, Lennon was popular with the boys, and Lila could only stand aside.
When she found herself no longer able to catch up with Lennon's academic achievements, jealousy and indifference filled her face.
Later, her married life also had twists and turns, and Lila constantly resisted, fled, and cut off contact with her parents. She took her children to live with an ordinary man, and changed from a carefree Mrs. Kuo to a female worker in a sausage factory.
In the third season, Lennon opened all the way to the normal university and married into the family of intellectuals.
The mother-in-law is the editor of the publishing house, the father-in-law is a titan in the academic world, and her husband was named a university professor at a young age.
All these social resources are paving the way for her to successfully write books, publish books, and eventually become a veritable female writer.
They are jealous and competitive in their careers, but emotionally they are not plastic sisters who are hostile to scumbags.
Instead, men are just a mirror of their introspection.
Both Lenon and Lila were once attracted to nino, the scumbag.
Nino is not only handsome, but also loves literature like them, and his mouth is "promise honey".
He first fell in love with Lila, and when the three of them were on vacation, he flirted and was ambiguous with Lila.
Lennon endured his crush on the scumbag and kept their extramarital affair secret.
But in the third season, when Lennon cheats on him in marriage, tangles with Nino, and plans to divorce, he is greeted by a scolding from Lila.
True friends will pull you along at critical moments instead of watching you fall into the abyss.
Otherwise, they will follow in the footsteps of the previous generation of women, and their efforts will be wasted.
Men, on the other hand, are no longer the center of gravity of their lives, and they are constantly rebelling for themselves.
Love and hate are intertwined, and it is true friendship. Aren't these "impurities", though flawed, shed our stereotypes of female friendships?
When watching this play, I was deeply poked by a sentence: once we dreamed of becoming Lila, but later we were glad that we were Lennon.
In terms of personality traits, Lila and Lennon are very different. Most people are more like the somewhat cowardly, dumb Lennon than Lila's sharpness and aggression.
If she hadn't met Lila, she wouldn't have been provoked to bravely break with tradition and change her life.
Jealousy and envy are two emotions that run through their decades of friendship. Lennon was jealous of Lila's talent, and Lila was envious of her ability to read.
They are sister flowers of the body, their fates are intertwined and complementary, and they cannot miss each other.
Every difficult moment in their lives, they support each other and get through it together.
Lennon soon grew tired of life in the big city after marriage, and was tortured by her husband and children. In the end, I couldn't write a word for several years.
For her, no matter where she lived, it seemed that she could never escape the shadow of her original family.
It was Lila who had been pushing her to keep writing, buying her books, and promising her: "Whatever happens, you have to keep learning." I'll pay you to go to school."
Before Lila's wedding, she affirmed Lennon, "You're my genius friend, you should be better than anyone else." After Lennon published her book, Lila was proud of her from the bottom of her heart.
After Lila fell ill working in a meat factory, Lennon rushed to her and hugged her and said, "I'll take care of you, and I'll stay with you until you get better."
Some people say that a woman's friendship is thinner than a slice of ham. Long-lasting friendships must be mixed with competition and jealousy.
This complex, delicate relationship, to put it bluntly, is both hoping for you and being afraid that it is much better than me.
This contest also becomes motivation, pushing each other's lives in your pursuit.
In Gone with the Wind, Scarlett is jealous of Melanie's comparison, making them each a superstar.
Friendships without jealousy are perfect, but friendships that imply competitive comparison are more real.
Why is the domestic drama remake of "My Genius Girlfriend" not optimistic?
In addition to the historical background, in the past film and television dramas, female friendship seems to have only two states.
It is either innate hostility and jealousy, or cheap and exaggerated falsehood and support.
Think of the drama in "Little Times", "July and Ansheng", and "North and South".
But the truth is not black and white.
Compared with tearing up the "plastic sister flower", the support and mutual assistance between women is more normal, and it is worthy of respect and face.
The plight of Lila and Lennon looks at the entanglements and struggles faced by each woman in terms of marriage and future choices.
In the complex and changing friendship, it reflects the loneliness of the individual and the strength to unite and fight.
Not only is the male friendship always frank and upright, but two women can also be clean and go to the soup for each other.
