The first time I saw the title of "Heart Residence", and then saw the cooperation between Teng Huatao and Haiqing again, I thought it was to fry the cold rice of "Snail Residence" and sell a wave of feelings with this wave of heat. As a result, the target is the previously broadcast "An Jia" and "Thirty Only" genre dramas, mainly aimed at the anxiety of contemporary middle-aged people to buy a house.
The embarrassing situation of the daughter-in-law outside Shanghai - Feng Xiaoqin
Shanghainese have a strong sense of geographical superiority, because Shanghai's economy has always been at the forefront of China, whether it is the trade of goods in the Qing Dynasty or today's bustling metropolis full of neon lights, Shanghai has always been at the top. Therefore, the locals living here have a very high unit price house as an asset, and a local hukou is relied on, and the superiority of this region is revealed.
Feng Xiaoqin (Hai Qing) as a Shanghai daughter-in-law married to a Shanghai native, because the house is the asset of the in-laws, the small couple has no independent property under their name, so Feng Xiaoqin has no sense of belonging, and the concept of "An Jia" is the same, buying a house is the basis for living in a strange city, it is a belonging, as long as there is no house, always feel like an outsider.
However, it is precisely because of Feng's extreme desire for a house that he gradually has requirements for his husband's salary level, which eventually led to a tragedy. Because the two couples lost their temper, Feng wanted to run away from home, the husband and Feng had a tug-of-war in the stairwell, and the accident happened, the husband fell down the stairs, just hit the glass that the neighbor had placed in the corridor, and lost too much blood and died.
After the death of her husband, Feng's situation in the in-laws' family is even more embarrassing, a foreign daughter-in-law leaves the in-laws' house, there is nowhere to go, the outside is high rent, even if there is "backbone" in the heart, she has to succumb to reality and continue to serve the in-laws' family.
What did the 8 years of marrying into the Gu family bring to this woman? First, he brought his in-laws to the yin and yang and scolded Sang Huai, always feeling that Feng, a foreign daughter-in-law, was married to her in order to covet her son's Shanghai identity, and it was a duty to take care of a large family, so that she could live in this Shanghai house that did not belong to her.
Second, it brings the appearance that the husband is only a promise, never dares to speak for the small family, and is not willing to fight for the future of the small family. Feng was just a lone soldier in this family of three.
Although the eight-year marriage really did not leave anything for Feng? But her ambition fortunately has not been worn away in these 8 years, after her widowhood, she looked at the "pension market" of a metropolis like Shanghai, and cooperated with the neighbor in the community, Zhan Xiang, to jointly open up her own new world. From her body, we found that in fact, when a foreign daughter-in-law marries into Shanghai, she cannot rely on her in-laws to rise all the way, and eventually needs her own ideas and independent economic ability to win back a round.
The marriage dilemma of contemporary elite women - Gu Qingyu
The role of Gu Qingyu (Tong Yao) is unpleasant at first, but after rational thinking, it is found that her decision is not unreasonable. Qingyu is engaged in one of the hottest industries in the era of capital economy, investment banking. And she is a leader in the industry, so her income is very impressive.
In the treatment of the family, when the family needs money, they often ask her to borrow, in fact, the "borrowing money" thing, borrowing is human feelings, not borrowing is the duty. After all, everyone's money is not easy to come by, and they cannot stand on the moral high ground, thinking that rich people must "rob the rich and help the poor". When Gu Qingyu asked her brother if she wanted to buy a house, her brother told her that she didn't want to buy it, so she chose not to lend money to her brother's family.
Because she knows that she can help her brother for a while, she can't help a lifetime, her brother has a monthly payment in addition to the down payment, and the so-called "slow repayment" of the sister-in-law is actually completely negligible according to the strength of the younger brother's family, and 1 million is still in the Year of the Monkey. However, her appearance of not borrowing money from above has attracted the dissatisfaction of her sister-in-law, who, as the highest-paid person in the family, is unwilling to reach out and help her brother's family to own an independent house, which is incomprehensible to the daughter-in-law from abroad.
In terms of marriage, everyone thinks that Gu Qingyu is a love brain, but in fact, it is not like this, she is very clear about what she wants. Over the years, she has looked everywhere for the whereabouts of her first love, and even every boyfriend she has interacted with has the shadow of her first love, so at the age of 36, she is not short of money, no shortage of motorhomes, and the lack is just "making up for the shortcomings".
And Shi Yuan (Feng Shaofeng) is her biggest flaw, from the green onion teenager to the middle-aged has always had the love, can finally say it out loud.
In this marriage, she does not care about the man's family situation, work, and income, because Gu Qingyu has the confidence and strength to only seek "love". Compared with Feng Xiaoqin's helpless way of running for life, we know that Feng can't only seek "love" and not "wealth" in marriage, because she lacks, she does not have it, and her husband does not have it, so where does the "sense of economic security" come from?
The self-cultivation of the senior spare tire - Zhan Xiang
In every TV series, there is always a glowing male or female protagonist, standing behind an obscure, intimate guardian spare tire role. And Zhan Xiang (Zhang Songwen) is definitely a high-level spare tire, he has not changed his mind since he liked Gu Qingyu, and he has been fond of one person for many years, and he has no need to talk about it in terms of dedication.
In addition to dedication, he also has another point that other spare tires can't do, that is, "help". He not only chose to bless and leave at the right time after confirming Gu Qingyu's intentions, but also was willing to advise her new love, which was very difficult. In front of all the people, he hid his sad emotions and silently released his light and heat to warm the people around him. This is really quite difficult.
Unique Shanghai culture
The background of "Heart Residence" is the greater Shanghai, so many of the words in the play are closely related to Shanghai culture. When the locals in the play asked if anyone else was a Shanghainese, they all said, "Nong is a Shanghainese?" So "nong" means "you."
Because the travel between relatives basically relies on the subway and bus, the way of describing the two bus stops is "the distance of a bowl of soup", and the way of describing the subway without changing trains is "the subway is a head".
Feng Xiaoqin said to the outside world that she was a "buy ji burn", in fact, in shanghainese, "ji" means rinsing, so this sentence is the meaning of "buying vegetables, washing, cooking" for housewives.
During the rush hour, the traffic on the street is busy, the subway to the station is in and out, the aunt and uncle in the vegetable farm pick the dishes and then smooth the appearance of the onion, this is really the big Shanghai, such fireworks will be high on the beach directly into the human world. Especially at the beginning, when Feng Xiaoqin bought vegetables for the whole family, she bought a bean carob from 10 yuan to 8 yuan, and her face showed the joy of the small citizens who "took advantage".
Why is the city of Shanghai extremely capitalized? Because the gap between rich and poor is too big. From Feng Xiaoqin buying vegetables and passing by the real estate agent silently looking at the house, to the scene where the eldest sister Gu Qingyu does yoga in the large flat floor of Nuoda, in contrast, one is a person occupying a large flat floor alone, and also asking the aunt to clean and cook.
In the other place, a family of six people, large and small, is crowded in the old community, eating a meal in the morning is like fighting, the daughter-in-law is charging in front, the family is enjoying the food in the back, and the hurried morning is over.
The two women are about the same age, but because of the economic income, they have opened up a huge distance, the grade of life is completely different, and the troubles they face are also different. One is still stuck in economic anxiety, that is, the needs of the material level. Another annoyance that has escalated to the "pursuit of love" is the pursuit of the "spiritual level".
In general, Shanghai, all kinds of people, come and go, whose home is it? In Shanghai, is it the people who control the city, or the city that controls the people who are forced to survive? In the bustling city, the lights are red and green, everyone also has their own survival rules, this new Shanghainese and old Shanghainese pk, who will win?
