The workplace light comedy "Please Call Me The Supervisor", co-starring Tan Songyun and Lin Xinxin, has finally begun!
Before the start of this "Please Call Me Director", it was because of the final file withdrawal and because it involved the popular drama "The Gate of Rebirth" "gear shift storm" caused a hot discussion, but many netizens do not know that the reason why this drama will be postponed is entirely because of the sudden success of the star, from the beginning of the video platform solo broadcast to the TV station synchronous broadcast, so it is bound to change the file after consultation with the TV station.
Because the star had to postpone it is a good thing for the drama side and fans, but it was unexpectedly scolded for occupying the start time of "The Gate of Rebirth", and even before the start of the broadcast, some people constantly maliciously scored low.
After watching the premiere content of "Please Call Me Director", I finally understood why this drama would suddenly be on the star, which is exactly the favorite genre of Oriental Satellite TV, the sweet and somewhat Mary Sue workplace plot, the arrogant and domineering president and his self-improvement and love of the little secretary, all kinds of idol dramas of the earthy plot and the real collision of social animal workers, although the routine is a little, but it is really easy to eat.
From the perspective of premiere ratings, although this "Please Call Me Director" was bought by Oriental Satellite TV to fill in the May Day holiday to avoid a sharp decline in ratings after the end of "Special Battle Glory", the rating index that rose slightly in the stable still proved that such a somewhat earthy workplace light comedy is still quite popular with the audience.
"Please Call Me Director" is adapted from Hongjiu's novel of the same name, with the heroine Ning Meng's workplace struggle as the main story line, telling how she went from being bullied to the president's secretary step by step towards her dream, and finally became a well-known investment director, and by the way, she and her "proud" boss Lu Jieming had a relationship while engaging in a career.
At the beginning of the plot, it is the overlord Lu Jieming, played by Lin Xinxin, who appears brightly, he wears a suit and frowns tightly, and the subordinates who have not completed the task cannot lift their heads.
Originally, this scene was very serious, but with Lin Xinxin's lines with a big accent, there was even a bit of comedy.
Sure enough, the sky is not afraid, I am afraid that Lin Xinchang still speaks Northeast dialect, from workplace drama to light comedy, only need a domineering president with an accent, you can easily convert.
But the spit is still to complain, that is, Lin updated the line skills are really not good, although the director and screenwriter in order to cooperate with Lin update and make the plot look more reasonable, has changed the identity setting of the male protagonist to the northeast, but Lin updated the line is not only a problem with the accent, but the swallowing is serious and a little slurred, sometimes do not look at the subtitles do not know what he is talking about.
In this part of the line, it was hung by the heroine Tan Songyun.
The president's secretary, Ning Meng, played by Tan Songyun, is simply a true portrayal of the realistic version of the universal secretary and the tragic social animal.
When interviewed, he was drawn a big pie by the company, and he obviously wanted to further develop into an investment director, but he was arranged to be in the position of secretary for three years and three years, and the good job transfer was far away, and he was tortured by the boss and the white eyes of colleagues in the company.
It seems that her desire to change from "secretary" to project leader is simply wishful thinking.
I have to say that this drama can get the favor of Oriental Satellite TV, there are still two brushes in the processing of the plot, Lin Xin's Lu Jieming is responsible for funny and hegemonic, then the "sense of reality" is supported by Ning Meng, played by Tan Songyun.
From the full of expectations when the interview was drawn by the company, to the line of love, even if he was a senior student in the finance department, he could only be a secretary, and he took care of everything properly and became a gold medal secretary for three years.
Not only can you clearly record the speeches in various languages in the conference negotiations, quickly distinguish the meaning of foreign languages with accents, even if you stay up late and work overtime, you must come up with the most complete information, be the strongest assistant, and make all partners praise.
"Secretary" is a compromise made by Ning Meng as a "social animal" for life, and it is also a staircase that she has accumulated in order to realize her dreams, she can endure Lu Jieming's bad temper and many unreasonable requirements, just because she wants to do a good job, which does not mean that she is willing to give up her plan for the future and life for the sake of the current pie.
Before the launch of the drama "Please Call Me Director", many viewers questioned why Tan Songyun would take this drama, and watching the title, it was full of Mary Sue flavor. But after the drama was launched, the audience was still infected by Tan Songyun's acting skills.
In the scene where Ning Meng intimidated the boss, in the face of the unreasonable and arrogant Lu Jieming, in the small space completely occupied by her work, she could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction, and her emotions progressed layer by layer with large paragraphs of large lines, which could drag the audience into the situation in an instant.
Although there was no big noise, but in the face of Lu Jieming and colleagues' contempt, her grievances and sadness almost overflowed the screen, but also let the audience understand her determination to resign in an instant, the expression was delicate and sincere, which made the workers "empathize".
In recent years, Tan Songyun has starred in many TV dramas that make the audience shine, she looks sweet and cute, but this has not affected her choice of roles, from the costume drama "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and "Under the Golden Dress" to the life drama "In the Name of Family" and "Dear Mayang Street", Tan Songyun has been challenging different roles, and she has also gained a good reputation with solid acting skills.
In contrast, Lin Xinxin's resume is not so glamorous, he has always loved the role of the domineering president, and he is trapped in the comfort zone, causing him to play any role like a bully, "My Bargain Queen" is because the plot is too cheesy, the performance is too stereotypical, and the audience is crazy to spit. I don't know if "Please Call Me Director" can save his reputation.
From the current point of view, although the plot of this "Please Call Me Director" is slightly old-fashioned, there are many points worth complaining about, but overall, Tan Songyun's acting skills have "saved" this drama, and the audience can't help but wonder which step Ning Meng, played by her, can go with her own efforts.
