The finale of "Heart Residence", Haiqing "Snail Residence" thirteen years later, finally bought the house.
Who would have thought that the last episode actually broke another best acting moment in the whole series, Ge Yue saw Feng Xixi shaking hands with her husband outside the window, laughing bitterly while hammering her pregnant abdomen with her hands.
In my eyes, this sudden acting drama can even be parachuted into the first place of this drama, because No matter how good Haiqing's acting skills are, it is always in the audience's expectations, but no one wants to get Dong Qing to play the sweet sister Ge Yue.
It is also this laugh that has drawn a perfect end to this urban family drama that has been constantly talking about the topic since its inception and the audience is angry and watching.
Until now, the drama of this "Snail Residence" director Teng Huatao and Haiqing has proved with real ratings and broadcast volume that urban family drama ratings are still good.
The ratings on the first day of the series were only mediocre, and the popularity in iQiyi's station was in the early 4,000s, but the popularity in the station broke through 9,000 on the closing day, approaching the previous annual hit "The World", and the ratings also occupied the first place in multi-day satellite TV.
While the audience is angry with the characters in the play to say abandon the drama every day, while personally achieving another urban drama king explosion, it is impossible to abandon the drama, and after watching the various endings of the main characters.
In fact, due to the early appearance of the original work, the final fate of the main characters in the story has long been exposed through various interpretations, but the final finale of the drama version is still quite different from the original work.
Perhaps because the original book is too cruel, the drama version adapts the endings of some of the main characters. Of course, no matter how to change, the fate of the main characters still maintains continuity, and it is surprising that it is mainly readers who have read the original book.
In a sense, the change in the fate of these characters reveals the deepest code of the play.
Few national dramas dare to portray its protagonist so imperfectly. They all have shortcomings of one kind or another, like us, for the sake of housing, for love, for a place of peace of mind, struggling to exist in this world. But because of this, the audience wants to see them, the fate of each person, how to get their own place.
Next, let's take a look at the difference between the ending of the TV series and the original novel, and why there is such a difference.
And the three questions left by the episode are also time to solve.
The question of the finale: Gu Xin was imprisoned, why did Feng Xiqian retreat from the whole body, and Feng Xiaoqin became a big winner?
First of all, let's talk about the pair of characters who are most consistent with the fate of the original work: Feng Xixi, Gu Xin.
In the original work, the two did not have a good ending, and the same was true in the drama version.
The most gratifying moment in the finale should be that Gu Xin said that he had signed the divorce agreement, but Ge Yue said that he would take good care of his parents during this time and wait until he was released from prison before divorcing. Gu Xin looked at her departing back and broke down and cried.
In "Heart Residence", Gu Xin is a perfect scumbag.
In order to climb the branches, he abandoned sun qi, the school flower who had been in love with him for ten years, and married Ge Yue.
Just after getting married, the old man suffered a demotion, and Gu Xin didn't even bother to comfort his wife.
The mother was very difficult to his wife, and he never said a word for her. Sun Qi was going to Germany, and he left his wife with morning sickness and ran to the airport to keep it, but fortunately the other party resolutely refused.
As a result, he hooked up with Feng Xixi again. In the play, the two stay together until the last moment, and when they eat the last casual meal with Feng Xixi, they are seen by Ge Yue.
And Feng Xixi's side also continued the fate of the original work.
To Gu Xin's blessing, her performance has become outstanding in the company, and Feng Xiaoqin, as a sister, is both happy and worried.
After Feng Xiqian and Gu Xin were together, Feng Xiaoqin urged her sister to cut her sister off as soon as possible. But Feng Xixi resolutely refused.
A key detail change in the drama version is that Gu Xin mentions that Feng Xixi confiscated the house in the play, which explains to some extent why she can retreat.
On the day she left Shanghai in the book, Feng Xiaoqin went to the station to send Feng Xixi.
In the play, Feng Xiaoqin also went to the high-speed rail station, but watched her sister leave from a distance.
Some people say that Feng Xixi has no professional ethics and destroys other people's families, which can still be safely retired, and Ge Yue still has to take care of the family for her husband who is in prison.
But the reality is that many morally flawed characters don't live in shackles.
Next is the character who is the most different from the fate of the original: Shi Mu.
This character should be the top three most undesirable characters in the play.
Despite illnesses such as bipolar disorder and uremia, and the family's downfall, she still retains the arrogance of decades ago. He was on top of everyone, including Gu Qingyu.
In the scene where Gu Qingyu and her father came to the house for dinner for the first time, she single-handedly made the audience's collective blood pressure rise all night.
In the original work, the Shi Yuan family inherited the overseas villa, but Shi Mu was happy to overdo the illness and cut herself off and passed away.
In the play, her ending is much happier, moving to a new house with her son, and her illness is much better.
It can be seen that the screenwriters who are also the original authors are merciful and personally rewrite the endings of their own characters, and the original ending is too tragic to be suitable for today's national drama.
The next thing is a character who looks the same as the original ending, but in fact the ending is very different.
The first is Mrs. Gu, played by Yan Yongxuan.
With a small number of scenes, this character has become one of the most annoying characters in "Heart Residence".
On weekdays, the granddaughter-in-law who comes to the outside world drinks five or six, and the white eyes can turn into the sky in minutes.
After Gu Lei's death, she publicly accused her daughter-in-law of "killing her grandson" and said that she would stay at home specifically to "make her uncomfortable."
Daily suspicion of Xiaoqin's ulterior motives, even her sister eating a duck leg, it must be calculated clearly.
In the finale, Feng Xiaoqin finally moved away from the Gu family, once went home to get something, and found that Mrs. Gu had collapsed in the kitchen and sent to the hospital in time, but in the end, Mrs. Gu died like the original.
However, in the original novel, Mrs. Gu still counted down her daughters and daughters-in-law before she died, but she could not let go of her two sons, and she was blind to death. In the drama version, she is a person who will go along with her words and be kind, and in the face of her ex-daughter-in-law who takes care of her day and night, she says the words that have been buried in her heart for many years: it turns out that the old lady is like a mirror in her heart, and she sees that Feng Xiaoqin is too smart, so she must often beat her.
The acting skills of the old drama bone are too good, and the final ward dialogue makes the old lady suddenly cute, and it is more diverse than the original.
The second is Ge Yue.
The audience said that Ge Yue's smiling face in the finale was even more maddening than Zhang Zifeng.
Dong Qing outside the play is also very cute and takes the initiative to get a divorce certificate for Ge Yue, but in the play, she still has to wait for the scumbag for three years to get out of prison and then divorce.
Compared with the original work, the fate of this character has not changed, but the character personality has changed too much.
In the original work, this character installed monitoring software on Gu Xin's mobile phone in the later stage, and she was already aware of the ambiguous relationship between Feng Xiqian and Gu Xin, Gu Xin was imprisoned, and she also went to find her admirer "Xiao Lu" and begged him to help her husband.
These experiences, while wonderful, are also too dramatic, too exciting, almost reinventing the characters.
And Ge Yue in the play is the most innocent and lovely angel from beginning to end.
The only time the outbreak was to see her husband cheat, and the emotions that had been hidden for a long time suddenly exploded, and he slapped his stomach with his hands like crazy.
Like the original work, Ge Yue still went to the detention center to visit Gu Xin.
But in the end, he left the phone and decided to leave, which was more obvious than the meaning of the original drama version: Ge Yue could not reunite with the scumbag, and the scumbag retreated.
Third place: Gu Shihong.
On the surface, his ending is not much different from the original, but in fact, the screenwriter gave him a much happier ending.
In the original work, Gu Qingyu went abroad, his grandson also left, his mother also died, he was alone and bitter, the finale of the play was a family eating a New Year meal around him, the grandson took the report card to the grandfather, and the daughter also returned from Singapore.
In the play, the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family, he is the most mediocre one, but he is also the kindest one in the whole play, among all the people in the Gu family, he was the first to forgive Xiaoqin, and finally he and his daughter zhang Luo bought a house for Xiaoqin.
If I were a screenwriter, I wouldn't be able to give the old man such a lonely ending to the original book.
In the end, there is the ending of the four protagonists, and the fate is the same as the original, but the details have changed dramatically.
The first: Zhan Xiang, who finally broke up peacefully with Gu Qingyu.
Like the original, he ended up not with anyone.
Different from the original work, in the original work, he voluntarily gave up the goddess, and in the play, he failed to propose marriage.
In the original work, after Gu Qingyu divorced his first love Shi Yuan, he gave Zhan Xiang a chance and invited Zhan Xiang to his home, but Zhan Xiang took the initiative to give up this great opportunity.
In the play, he persevered, even if he slept at two o'clock in the morning, he had to wake up at six o'clock in the morning to send the goddess to work.
Exhausted, he returned to the nursing home and asked Feng Xiaoqin to wake himself up at five o'clock and go to pick up his girlfriend from work.
In the end, he chartered a restaurant and carefully arranged a marriage proposal, but Gu Qingyu rushed to say his decision to go to Singapore before he confessed, and he suppressed his words.
Another big change is that in the original work, he was semi-forced to transfer the "not too late" nursing home to Xiaoqin.
In the play, Xiaoqin only asked for a salary increase of three thousand yuan, and it was he who took the initiative to give Xiaoqin 10% of the shares of the "not too late" group and let her upgrade her partner. Xiaoqin is also used as the façade of the nursing home.
I think this ending is more reasonable than the original, he and Gu Qingyu are more comfortable being friends than being lovers, and they will not last long together.
Bai gave Xiaoqin a not too late is simply unbelievable, and it is more in line with the logic of the character to upgrade the other party to a partner and everyone works together.
But the story here is actually a blank, the future is still a long way. Maybe they'll never be together, and maybe one day soon he'll be with one of them.
As the most lovely character in the whole drama besides Mr. Gu Lao, this is the ending he deserves.
Second place: Shi Yuan.
Like the original work, he did not reunite with Gu Qingyu in the end.
Unlike the original book: he did not receive an inheritance worth more than 20 million yuan from his overseas uncle.
The screenwriter himself said, "For example, Shi Yuan, I arranged a somewhat bizarre ending for him in the novel, that is, let him accidentally inherit a legacy." I thought it was quite willful to arrange it at the time, it seemed a bit out of the blue, but I wrote it anyway. TV dramas can't be so willful."
At the end of the episode, Gu Qingyu learned that Shi Yuan had not stolen his own documents, and finally won the project by his ability.
Whether an industry rookie who was almost admitted to Fudan had the ability to write a project book to defeat the industry elite also triggered a big discussion among netizens.
But the focus of the story is actually not here, at Mrs. Gu's funeral, Gu Qingyu saw Shi Yuan again and was excited, but even if Gu Qingyu finally understood everything, the two of them could not go back at all.
Two people are not together is each other's eternal white moonlight, together can only torture each other, too screwed.
Looking at him and Li Li getting along together, you know that two people living together is not something that can be done with love.
Gu Qingyu's 20-year dream has awakened and can pursue his own life.
Shi Yuan can also restore the previous days of playing mahjong, drinking soy milk and eating fritters.
That's what everyone is happy about.
Third place: Gu Qingyu.
At the beginning of the follow-up audience will find a very strange point: almost all the conflicts of the Gu family will eventually become a duel between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu, two women. Why is Gu Qingyu so wary of Feng Xiaoqin?
The mystery was later solved: because of Feng Danian.
When Gu Lei and Feng Xiaoqin wanted to get married, Gu Qingyu went to check Feng Xiaoqin's bottom and found that Feng Xiaoqin's younger brother Feng Danian was not her brother, but her son.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Gu Qingyu to be wary of Feng Xiaoqin.
The mystery in the book and in the play is not revealed, and it can be seen that the essence of the character is good.
In the finale of the play, Gu Qingyu lent money to Feng Xiaoqin to buy a house, telling Feng Xiaoqin that She knew that Danian was her son, and the knot between the two women's hearts was finally completely unraveled.
Some viewers said that borrowing from the beginning is nothing?
But people have to have experiences to grow.
Eventually she went to Singapore as in the original, but eventually returned to Shanghai a few months later, staying with her father. Behind the superficial calm, it can be seen that the characters have experienced a complex psychological game, and behind each decision is life.
Screenwriter Teng Xiaolan said: "In the end, gu Qingyu chose who it did not matter, because she had reached a spiritual reconciliation with herself. ”
I agree very much, love does not have to be the whole of women, the finale Gu Qingyu seems to have nothing changed, in fact, everything has changed.
The last one: Feng Xiaoqin.
Compared to the original, this character is now more cute and inspirational. But she is still the protagonist with the most shortcomings in popular domestic urban dramas in recent years.
She has all kinds of problems, greedy, calculating, and thick-skinned, and pulls her sister Feng Xixi, who has no academic qualifications, and her illegitimate son Feng Danian to the Gu family to raise. Gu Laozi said it well, a family of six people, three surnamed Feng, not afraid of people's jokes.
But at the same time, she is also diligent, stoic, and sticks to the bottom line in her bones.
This character in the original work is more extreme, "once the bottom line drops, things will be easier to do", this sentence is the code of conduct in Feng Xiaoqin's original work.
But in the play, Feng Xiaoqin did not betray the bottom line, and ran alone on the beach, the road was winding, but still advised her sister to have a bottom line.
In the finale, she and Zhan Xiang ran "Not Too Late" (Respect for the Elderly Home) together, and both completed the growth of the characters, which can be said to be mutual achievements.
Compared with the original work, the characters in the drama version are somewhat softer and less extreme, but the screenwriter has not changed the essence of these characters.
Most of them have shortcomings, Gu Qingyu's sense of superiority and condescension, Zhan Xiang's lack of enterprising, Shi Yuan's oversensitive self-esteem, Feng Xiqian's lack of bottom line, Gu Xin's coolness, and the habits of many elders as small citizens... But this is ordinary people, and the truth is that many of the people around us have more strange deeds than them, and each of us is imperfect.
There are no absolute good and bad people in the world, only advances and choices, noisy and lively is the world. I love this real human world more than the characters who have been glorified.
2, the question of acting skills: Zhang Songwen is pleasing, Dong Qing has a stunning ending, why is the acting first or Haiqing?
The second question is: Who is the king of acting skills in this drama?
As Zhang Songwen said on social platforms - "the story is supported by each character".
What amazed me most in the finale was Dong Qing's performance.
Watching a pair of men and women in the restaurant two clinging to each other, tearful farewell, Ge Yue outside the window, crying and laughing, the eyes from the beginning of the sluggish to the later madness, and finally slammed their abdomen, achieving the famous scene in recent domestic urban dramas.
Any wife can't laugh in the face of this situation, but this laugh is so appropriate and accurate that it hits the audience's heart when it is put on the character.
This scene also made me notice Dong Qing, an actress, in fact, playing Ge Yue her problem is too beautiful, in reality, she and the actress who played Xiaosan are All Nortel School Flowers, and the appearance is completely comparable, even if her makeup in the play has been ugly, she still can't understand what the scumbag is thinking in his head.
But she used her acting skills to play the character to the extreme.
She should not be able to go the old road of sweet love, but the diversified temperament opens up a broader space. Good actors deserve to be seen by a wider audience.
There are three actors whose acting skills I think are underestimated, one is Tong Yao, the other is Feng Shaofeng, and the third is Zhang Songwen.
Many commentators have compared the scene where Gu Qingyu and Feng Xiaoqin quarreled, believing that Tong Yao could not catch Haiqing's play.
I have a completely different view, from the momentum to go back to TVB actresses can do, Tong Yao will not have a problem, but the character's qinggao makes It impossible for Tong Yao to be like Haiqing, hysterically roaring out of her heart's dissatisfaction, restraint is her normal reaction.
In the play, Tong Yao actually has no shortage of highlight moments of acting skills, and she is sad to see her husband lying.
The understanding of the brother-in-law's material injuries and their kinds, the ending goodbye to Shi Yuan's desire to say and stop. It's all acting.
At Haiqing's home field, her performance has more than passed.
As for Feng Shaofeng, as soon as Shi Yuan appeared, the audience could feel the sluggish decadent temperament on his body.
Feng Shaofeng performed the fragility, sensitivity, and arrogance of a depressed middle-aged man.
There is a scene where Shi Yuan endured his mother's bipolar disorder for a long time, and finally said in the quarrel that if he replaced the old house earlier, he could improve the problem at home, and after a moment of outbreak, he shrank back, from which he could see the sense of proportion of Feng Shaofeng's acting skills. It's an evolving actor.
And Zhang Songwen.
Teng Huatao said that when he was looking for Zhan Xiang, he wanted to find an actor who could not immediately think of the previous role image, he wanted to find a new face, everyone would not know "how he would act" as soon as he saw it, and as a result, my biggest surprise in the whole play was to watch Zhang Songwen act.
What is rare is that such a greasy character is played so happily and playfully by him, and at the beginning the audience is not accustomed to it, and the praise is more and more after that.
It can be seen that Zhang Songwen has many performance designs, such as standing or sitting. So he accompanied Gu Qingyu to watch elegant musicals and sat in peace.
In the master's move, he can set off the opponent's acting skills very well, and does not cover his own light.
Feng Xiaoqin, played by Haiqing, confessed to Zhan Xiang through the strength of wine. A mouth is a gaze of affection, adding "I like you", Zhang Songwen immediately said "up too fiercely".
Next, Feng Xiaoqin said more and more emotionally, directly said that Zhan Xiang was crying, snot and tears flowed down, and then Feng Xiaoqin suddenly turned his words sharply, pretending to be relaxed and said: "How, it's not bad to say", Zhang Songwen also broke his nose for a second and laughed and said: "It's too great, almost cheated by you."
In the end, the two laughed and looked at each other with tears, and said all the feelings of adults.
When he proposed to Qingyu, the ring was obviously already in his pocket, but he couldn't find the opportunity to take it out. At the moment when he was about to pull it out, Qingyu told him that he was going to Singapore for three years because of his work, and Zhang Songwen's performance was also too great, nervous, lonely, helpless, all performed, and finally very cute.
Say this is the acting skill of the rollover, where is the acting skill of not rolling over.
Finally, I would like to say Haiqing.
She proved with her strength that in the field of family drama, she is the absolute queen of acting.
Haiqing's several highlight scenes have been commented on a lot.
What really touched me was not her textbook explosion scenes, but her restoration of the details of life.
When buying vegetables, she will casually bargain with the greengrocers, and she will taste the early meals when making breakfast, which cannot be performed without life experience.
That takeaway scene, she also ran around shooting one day, did not eat, hungry front heart pasted on the back, just the crew prepared Feng Xiaoqin's box lunch, a bean and tomatoes, she ate a fragrant, the director shouted stop, she is still eating.
In my eyes, this kind of simple and unpretentious performance is more precious than the highlight passages of Gu Lei's unexpected death and the quarrel with his eldest sister and teaching Zhan Xiang to confess, because there are too few.
Many people say that it is difficult for the life drama Haiqing to be familiar with it? But the hardest part is precisely here, because she has played too many roles of the same kind.
There used to be an old saying: drama is nourishing for actors, and TV drama is hollow.
Even top acting schools such as Sun Li, Sun Honglei, and Yu Hewei will encounter questions about the stereotyping of the audience's acting skills.
Why hasn't Haiqing's performance been spat on too much?
I think the answer is that most of the time in the whole play, Feng Xiaoqin is busy with life. Haiqing performed the dust of the character's fate. At the end of the performance, the audience realized that as a foreigner, dignity is not as important as survival.
It is the taste of life in the performance that resists the aesthetic fatigue of the audience, because only life is not tired of watching.
But no matter how well Haiqing acted, he was only the first of the protagonists.
Because the supporting actors in this show are so strong that I can't rank them.
Zhang Zhihua's Su Wangdi is so unpleasant, but he performs the most common Shanghai well woman, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes "snobbish" to the extreme, but there are also moments of true feelings.
Gu Shihong, played by Jie Bing, heard that his daughter was going to Singapore, and wanted to cry for a moment, but he forced a smiley face to let his daughter pursue her career with confidence, and she couldn't help but get up to make tea to cover up her emotions, this expression instantly reminded the audience of her parents.
The simple sense of truth is the most moving.
And this drama is more than such good actors, the collective wonderful performance has achieved a shanghai urban sentient being.
3. The mystery of urban drama: Why does the audience look more and more scolded, is it really "bad heart out of the explosion"?
One last question: Is the plot of "Heart Dwelling" noisy? Why have the popular domestic urban dramas in recent years made the audience spit and watch?
It can be seen that the whole drama is full of such and such dramatic conflicts, and we can always feel the bittersweet and bittersweet of life, as well as the struggle of ordinary people's love, marriage and survival.
In a sense, the whole play is not happy for a minute.
Behind this is the realistic problem of realistic urban dramas: such dramas have a stable audience base disk, and also test the creative ability of screenwriters, both to take into account the social topics and take into account the watchability of the plot.
Did someone say no noise and no fuss?
Let me give you an example, "Ideal City" is Sun Li's best-known drama in recent years, and it is also the lowest-rated drama in recent years, and her last drama "An Jia", which has a noisy plot, is the annual rating champion of Oriental Satellite TV.
The biggest feature of this drama is that the characters are gray, there are no pure good people, and the bad people are also too bad to be silent, but it turns out that some viewers will not be able to watch it.
The same example is another word-of-mouth drama "Ordinary Glory", the plot and performance are very good, the industry presentation is very realistic, not noisy, the result is only to earn word of mouth and not to earn ratings.
There are always people who say, I don't believe it, the national drama is not mixed with the mother-in-law and mother, no one watches, I have to get a few hysterical characters for the story, is it vulgar? Vulgar, but works.
Some people always compare chinese dramas with Korean dramas and American dramas, but the reality is: many high-profile Korean dramas and American dramas broadcast on the three major platforms cannot be beaten even with low-cost small short dramas, go to see the "Battle of Inheritance 3" that swept the American drama awards last year, how long did it take to play tens of millions?
The highest score of the Douban national drama "Daming Dynasty 1566", there are many people who praise, how many have they watched?
TV dramas are popular art, and this is the biggest truth.
This is why the relationship between mother-in-law and sister-in-law in the national drama, the story between the mother-in-law and the in-laws, concubines, sisters-in-law, and the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, will be heavily portrayed by the creator, because this is the reality.
The audience loves to watch these family dramas, because they care about their fate, just like they care about their own destiny. Seeing their hardships is like the hardships they have experienced.
At the end of "Heart Residence", some people wake up from dreams, some people have broken dreams, and some people realize their dreams, Teng Xiaolan said, "When writing "Heart Residence", I want to write people, real people, and I don't think about who is right and who is wrong, it depends more on which position you stand on to speak. "I think she did.
No matter who it is, it is very difficult to struggle for survival, and there is a difficult scripture in the family, but life is vivid because of difficulties, showing the cold and warm of human feelings and the coolness of the world, and finally seeing the light in human nature.
The reality is that people always overestimate human efforts and underestimate fate. An urban family drama can unconsciously taste the fate of so many characters, long gone.
That's the best ending.
