Cool drama everyone loves to chase.
It is a pity that domestic cool dramas have not been surprised for a long time.
Recently, though, I've been in a new pit and brushed up 16 episodes in one sitting.
Let's talk about --
"My name is Zhao Jiadi"
"My name is Zhao Jiadi" is a male frequency drama.
As we all know, the first meaning of male frequency drama is "cool".
From "Qing Yu Nian" to "Knife Line in the Snow", these high-rated male frequency dramas are the same.
And they all have the original novel as the cornerstone behind them.
"My name is Zhao Jiadi" is no exception.
It is adapted from the novel "Lao Tzu is a Toad" by the Princes of Beacon Theatre.
This is also the reason why Uncle Fish was first attracted into the pit.
The Princes of Beacon Theatre is a "great god-level" author in the field of male frequency literature.
There are already two novels that have been adapted into plays.
"The Demon Life of Chen Er Dog" and "The Sword Line in the Snow".
This adaptation of "Lao Tzu is a Toad" is a rare urban legendary big IP.
The story is set in contemporary society, rather than in the ancient times, which can make the audience feel more substitutionary.
Of course, a male frequency drama is just cool, that is not enough.
It is also necessary to provide a main line other than a sense of coolness in order to make the audience feel fresh.
"Qing Yu Nian" has a conspiracy between the DPRK and China, and "The Sword In the Snow" has a dispute between the rivers and lakes.
"My Name is Zhao Jiadi" is a fusion of commercial warfare.
Such a setting is eye-catching.
In the male frequency cool drama, it can be called "the work of the dark horse".
As the name suggests, the protagonist of this drama is called Zhao Jiadi.
Before the age of 8, Zhao Jiadi had never seen his father.
Until one day, his father Zhao Xin suddenly returned to Zhao Family Town.
In those years, Zhao Xin achieved a great career outside.
The first thing to do when I return to my hometown is to punish the bullies and give money to the villagers.
But in the eyes of his son, he is not a hero, not even a father.
I only know that he is a sinner who has made his mother wash her face with tears for many years.
Zhao Xin originally came back this time to give his wife a name.
But on the day of the make-up marriage, he did not quit again.
What kind of hidden feelings there are in this has become an important foreshadowing.
Father Zhao Xin once again hurt his mother and abandoned the family.
It was also from then on that Zhao Jiadi chose to sever ties with his father.
After 10 years, the lives of both father and son have changed dramatically.
Zhao Jiadi graduated from high school and is about to go to Haicheng to attend college.
He never accepted financial support from his father.
Although he is a poor boy, he is full of yearning for the future, and he is bound to live the vigorous life he wants.
And Zhao Xin's career has also become bigger and bigger, and he has established Jinhai Group, a rich party.
Zhao Xin had already heard about his son going to haicheng to go to college.
In fact, for many years, although the father and son did not meet each other often, he had been secretly sending people to silently observe the whereabouts of his son.
After all, one day, he will be the heir of the Jinhai Group.
After Zhao Jiadi entered the university, the plot turned to the cheerful and relaxed campus youth drama.
Jin Lin was not a thing in the pool, and his extraordinary talent slowly appeared.
On the first day, he skipped class, was called by the teacher to lecture, and was recognized by the principal, "He is the wizard who failed English but scored a perfect score in mathematics."
After some conversation, he and the principal became friends for the year.
At the welcome party, Zhao Jiadi fell in love with mu Hongli, a singing girl.
He also did not twist and squeeze his feelings, and confessed on the first meeting.
And it's a good set.
"If I chase you, will it disturb your life?"
When he heard that Mu Hong carp was from the Chinese Academy next door, he looked for an opportunity to observe and take the opportunity to approach Mu Hong carp.
Unexpectedly, he was listening to a lecture on Russian literature and speaking.
The teacher asked him to read aloud Russian sentences on the blackboard, but he wouldn't.
He was ridiculed by the teacher and expelled from the classroom.
Who knows, although Zhao Jiadi does not speak, he is proficient in Russian literature.
He wrote the sentences from "Resurrection" on the blackboard, and also quoted this passage, satirizing the teacher's stereotype of the student.
Not only did the teacher shame, but the whole class was stunned;
It also made Mu Hong carp feel good about him.
Everything that happened next was like it was arranged.
Mu Hong carp was sick, and Zhao Jiadi carried her to the infirmary.
Even if the foot is injured, Zhao Jiadi will win the first place in the school sports meeting in front of Mu Hong carp.
After coming and going, a romantic relationship was established between the two.
It also established Zhao Jiadi's "strong and miserable" personality.
Many netizens feel that "My name is Zhao Jiadi" is like a modern version of "Sword Line in the Snow".
Mainly the male protagonist settings of the two dramas are somewhat similar.
Zhao Jiadi and Xu Fengnian, they both have a father who dominates the side, but they both choose to be self-reliant.
Xu Fengnian was accompanied by Ginger Mud, and Zhao Jiadi had Qi Dongcao by his side, which was also a green plum bamboo horse.
Moreover, Zhao Jiadi also has confidants with red faces from all walks of life.
Someone has a crush on him, someone is willing to fight to the death to protect him.
When the image of the male protagonist is gradually enriched, the next is his real open life.
Inside and outside the school, it's like two worlds.
On campus, Zhao Jiadi enjoyed the good times of the university.
But outside the school, the encirclement and suppression operation around the Jinhai Collective and Zhao Jiadi is quietly approaching.
Two story lines advance at the same time.
Campus stories are clearly just smoke bombs, the real battlefield in the business world.
The biggest enemy of the Jinhai collective is Chen Hongxiong.
When Chen Hongxiong was a child, he lost his parents in a car accident, and in his memory, all this was caused by Zhao Xin.
Growing up, he was on the side and had the ability to take revenge.
He began to take revenge on Zhao Xin.
First of all, he split Zhao Xin's cronies and secretly provoked them one by one.
The fiercest move is to aim at Qi Dongcao.
Qi Dongcao was adopted by Zhao Xin after his father was imprisoned.
The Zhao family regarded her as their own, and when Zhao Jiadi's child daughter-in-law was cultivated, he gave her a bracelet symbolizing the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.
Qi Dongcao also had a second uncle, Qi Fengnian, who was a person close to Chen Hongxiong.
After he was released from prison, he found Qi Dongcao, forced her to kneel in front of the tablet of the Qi family's ancestors and ancestors to confess, and questioned her:
"Are you surnamed Zhao or Qi?"
It turned out that Zhao Xin had betrayed his faith and taken away Qi Dongcao's father's company, causing her family to be destroyed.
Qi Dongcao's heart was very tormented.
On the one hand, there is the grace of nurturing, and on the other hand, there is the revenge of killing the father.
She could only choose the latter.
However, was the Qi family really victimized by Zhao Xin? What kind of hidden feelings there are in this has become an important foreshadowing.
Zhao Jiadi is the quasi-heir of the Jinhai Group, and Chen Hongxiong wants to take revenge on Zhao Xin, and naturally will not let him go.
Fortunately, in Zhao Jiadi's male protagonist aura, many masters are secretly protecting him, allowing him to resolve every crisis.
Especially the appearance of the whole drama, Aunt Cai.
When Zhao Jiadi was a tutor, he got to know Aunt Cai.
After in-depth understanding, it was learned that Aunt Cai's late husband and father Zhao Xin were friends.
He also got some positive comments about his father from Aunt Cai.
Even let him begin to reflect, so many years is not the fault of the father?
Many forces are circling, involving the enmity between various families.
This unveiled the grand commercial map of the whole drama.
This war, which did not see the smoke of gunfire, swept Zhao Jiadi into it.
It is also the most important turning point of the whole play.
It marks Zhao Jiadi's progress from campus to society.
For the sake of family honor, he must get out of the ivory tower and enter the business world to fight.
If the core of the "big female lead drama" is the awakening of women's consciousness.
Then the core of the male frequency drama is the personal growth of the male protagonist.
Many male frequency dramas will make such a mistake -
Thinking that the male protagonist opens his gold finger, he can ignore the logic of reality.
So much so that the whole drama becomes pompous and contrived, for the sake of cool and cool.
"My name is Zhao Jiadi" did not make this mistake.
Zhao Jiadi in the play has a very complete character arc.
The audience can clearly feel the changes before and after him:
The growth history of an atypical "second generation of anti-rich".
Different from the hegemonic image on the screen in the past, on the contrary, zhao jiadi's biggest feature is loneliness.
Although there were many people around him, he was still lonely.
This loneliness stems from escape.
Since childhood, he has been abandoned again and again.
Abandoned by his father after birth, abandoned by his mother when he grew up, and abandoned by his first love girlfriend when he was in school.
So he became insecure.
To avoid being abandoned again, reject all temptations and get rid of all hustle and bustle.
Even if his father's family is rich, he is not rare.
He chose to live and experience like an ordinary person.
I don't want to kidnap his friendship and love because of another layer of identity
He used his father as a negative teaching material to avoid becoming a person like him.
I hope to get rid of my father's shadow and achieve a career.
But the more I tried to prove it to my father, the more embarrassing the result became.
Because many things in life cannot be completely as people wish.
Just like he didn't want to mix with the grudge between the previous generation, and even deliberately avoided it, but all kinds of troubles would take the initiative to find him one after another.
You can't hide from it.
At this time, Zhao Jiadi realized that his so-called loneliness was just a cowardly escape.
He was destined to be Zhao Xin's son, and he must also accept that he was the quasi-successor of Jinhai Group.
This identity has great power and is also extremely dangerous.
In the change of the times, the entanglement and choice of three generations.
Someone has to come forward and understand all this.
As the truth of ten years ago surfaced, Zhao Jiadi also completed his reconciliation with his father.
In the end, he chose to stop running away and let go of loneliness.
In the process, he truly experienced the metamorphosis from boy to man.
The impetus for completing the transformation came from a sentence left to him by his grandfather before he died.
It is also the theme of the whole play:
"Man must have something to cling to, and only then will he be able to achieve something."
People can't change their origins, but they can change themselves.
It is impossible to change what has already happened, but it can change the mindset of looking at things.
This process of transformation must be painful and lonely.
But, that's what's called growth.
