If a drama is too real and too realistic, there is also a problem, that is, "too tragic", people can't bear to look at it directly.
Most people live a similar life in "Hong Kong Love" every day, life is already so hard, so why should I watch or even savor this drama like "looking in the mirror"?
In a world overflowing with information, the mainstream propagates ideas, the information released by the media, people, either actively or passively, to receive, less and less to think, but tend to conform to the crowd.
Although "Hong Kong Love" dares to pierce reality, its core is still warm in essence.
None of the women in the play are love brains, and none of them regard love and marriage as the whole of life.
They are not false, unpretentious, love is love, scattered and scattered, and compared with the Mary Sue heroine, they live more realistically, more realistically, more independently, more sober.
For example, Qiu Kaiqi's female boss, Sheng Xiaotong.
Sheng Xiaotong belongs to the elderly quality women, but she has been cheated of millions of online dating.
It is unimaginable that such a shrewd female executive would play a marriage app and be deceived, which also exposed her heart's extreme desire for love.
If it is directly filmed, it is a single event, slightly abrupt and does not have the feeling of connecting the context.
But the screenwriter used Qiu Kaiqi to borrow money from her to buy a house to elicit the line of Sheng Xiaotong's buried so many episodes of online love.
The two stories intersect perfectly, smoothly and interestingly.
During the day, Sheng Xiaotong is the "female devil head" in the mouth of his colleagues, the king of merit, and the master of "Versailles".
But late at night, the whole company was gone, and she was still working silently overtime alone.
As she said to Qiu Kaiqi:
Although Sheng Xiaotong is not short of money, the taste of loneliness is still unbearable, even if she is cheated of money on the dating APP, she still chooses to find companionship in the virtual world.
This is Sheng Xiaotong's choice, she has money, but lack of love, so even if she is cheated of money, she still wants to accompany, even if it is virtual.
Sheng Xiaotong's posture is admirable, she is not unwilling, and she is not depressed.
This is not only a matter of having money and confidence, but also a good mentality is the key.
Because Sheng Xiaotong deeply understands that in this world, most relationships are needed by each other.
If she has money, she should use millions to buy a service.
After all, the other person on the screen spent a lonely and empty time with him, giving her more motivation to earn money.
In my opinion, Sheng Xiaotong has money and good looks, and there is no need to walk into a relationship.
She wanted to pick a suitable person for herself, but she never picked one, so she would rather be absent than indiscriminate.
Another example is Chen Zixin's good friend Wen Jing.
Chen Zixin is an independent photographer, and Wenjing, a girlfriend who does advertising design, has always been very supportive of her.
Wen Jing can keep dancing for Chen Zixin for an afternoon dusk, just to take a photo that Chen Zixin feels beautiful.
Wen Jing has also been helping Chen Zixin pay rent, helping her to take over the photography work on the Internet to leave messages, defending Chen Zixin, and giving her a little praise in a bunch of critical voices with one enemy and ten.
When Chen Zixin was confused and in pain, Wenjing always accompanied her, giving her comfort and encouragement; when she encountered bad comments on the Internet, Wenjing also anonymously wrote a response post for her.
How many people like me, at first wanted to be crooked, thinking that Wen Jing had a kind of same-sex love for Chen Zixin.
But in fact, it is not, Wen Jing's appreciation of Chen Zixin is pure appreciation, admiring her personality and talent.
As Wen Jing said:
In fact, I have always admired you, you are always so purposeful, as if you know what to do no matter what happens. There are too many people like me in this world, too few people like you, you are like a lamp on the sea, I am the ship on the sea, it is you who makes me so bored have a direction.
Perhaps in this society, the relationship between people is indeed mostly based on the exchange of interests, but there is always some sincerity and purity, which can transcend reality.
Love is precious, and friendship is equally precious.
In the end, Wen Jing also gained her own love.
Mo Shaoxia was not to mention.
At the age of 60, he still dares to file a "divorce" appeal.
She didn't want to be wronged by staying in that cramped and cramped house anymore, and she didn't want to be so loveless and hopeless anymore.
Because someone in the public housing dormitory happened to check out, she was finally able to move out and start an independent new life.
Mo Shaoxia wants to change, no matter what stage she is at, no matter what age she is at.
People are lonely, and he longs to make up for and dissolve his guilt, to be kind to Livn, to accompany her to Disney, all of which are self-made who did not do so before compensating.
And Li Fen is not easy, she has been hurt and abandoned by love, and has also been tortured by life.
They may not have too many of the most direct and fervent emotions, but finding a suitable person to warm each other at a moment of greatest need is love for them.
There is no standard answer to what love is.
Some love is perfect, and some are so bad.
Some people love each other to die or live, and later find that they are just obsessed with it too deeply; some people feel that love is as light as water and dispensable, and they lose and find that they have long become part of flesh and blood.
Love is never a fixed thing, she is just an illusion of our yearning for beauty in the context of different ages and different experiences.
The love in "Hong Kong Love" I think is not a narrow love between men and women, but the ability to love people.
It is the synthesis of all fraternity, affection, and love between men and women, and some people are lost in this love, and some people begin to recognize themselves.
I think anyone, whether from the perspective of love, friendship, family affection, or personal growth, can see a certain aspect of themselves in the play and get some inspiration from it.
Because it shows the pain of different groups of people, people of different ages being crushed by life, no matter what period you are in, you can find some resonance to a greater or lesser extent.
I also don't think that such a realistic plot as "Hong Kong Love" and such feelings based on the life of ordinary people are sad and cruel.
In my opinion, it is more idealistic than those suspended Mary Sue idol dramas.
Because true idealism is never blindfolding ourselves, inventing mirages that we can never hit in real life, and full of yearning for places we can't go.
Instead, open your eyes, see reality, and then blossom beautiful flowers in the muddy waters of reality.
Do you find it depressing to watch?
Repression is right, but the result of repression is not to teach people to give up the pursuit of beauty, but how to survive in a dilemma.
While affirming that the rich also have happiness and sorrow, it also recognizes the sorrow and happiness of the poor, and more importantly, it does not think of creating problems in the contradiction between these two classes.
In the view of the creator of "Hong Kong Love Story":
That is to say, "Hong Kong Love" neither falls under the pomegranate skirt of the rich, nor does it completely attribute the disease to poverty.
It knows very well that the class barrier between rich and poor is difficult to break.
Since we are trapped alive in such a reality, the majority of us living at the bottom should be more optimistic, support each other, and move forward.
"Hong Kong Love" is like each of us, although imperfect, we can still maintain kindness and warmth in the world as far as our eyes can see.
When I watched "Tokyo Love Story", I was still a confused little girl, I didn't know what I wanted, anxious and wandering.
Li Xiang is like a small sun, positive and optimistic, beautiful and lovely, handy at work, interpersonal problems, life is free, she is the state I yearn for, lovely superwoman, all-encompassing.
On the contrary, mediocre and clumsy like the real self, there are always so many overwhelmed things in life and work, and there are so many things that cannot be coped with.
At that time, I was thinking, how could such a perfect Li Xiang like such a mediocre completion.
I couldn't understand why Guanzhi was so uncertain about such an excellent Li Xiang.
Later, I slowly understood that in the face of good glowing things, I would be so unconfident because I was afraid of losing.
When I watched "Beijing Love Story", I already understood what love and material things are.
The transformation of the role of Shi Xiaomeng has left an indelible impression on me, and before the test comes, everyone can easily be a good person.
But life is not satisfactory so much, the rich can use money and connections to solve many problems, the poor do not have these resources.
The character who brought me a strong sense of immersion was Shi Xiaomeng, and I often wondered how I would collapse if the twists and turns he encountered unfortunately fell on me.
I think most people are afraid that they can only watch the tragedy happen in loneliness, powerless, and will not even have the opportunity to struggle with human nature.
The love in the play is not overly deified, forced to be placed in a specific beautiful vacuum, nor is it isolated, flowing into Wenqing's disease-free moaning.
Love has a sunny spring and white snow, but it is certainly not "the princess and the prince have lived happily ever after" on the line.
It is pyrotechnic, how cruel the reality is, and the warmth of human nature is so precious, and at the same time it is very inclusive.
Being loved and loving others in this life is also a happy thing, don't let these become pain.
People who understand know how to give up, people who are sincere know how to sacrifice, and for people who do not love themselves, what they need most is understanding, giving up and blessing.
Love or not love, in what way love is worth understanding.
It is these little bits of warmth that make all sufferings comfortable, and only when people first recognize themselves can they truly know how to love.
