Wait 5 years.
Goodbye, Andy, Fan Shengmei, Qu Xiaoxiu, Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying.
Five years after the second tribal curtain of Ode to Joy, Ode to Joy 3 officially began airing.
The story still takes place in Shanghai's "Ode to Joy Community".
But "things are not people", the "happy five beauty" of countless fans in that year: Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, Qiao Xin, Yang Zi.
Swap them all out.
Instead, there are the "New Five Beauty": Jiang Shuying, Yang Caiyu, Zhang Jianning, Zhang Huiwen, and Li Haofei.
You know, the sudden "blood change" of popular IP has always been a taboo for film and television dramas.
At that time, "Family with Children 3" was replaced by Ning Danlin because Yang Zi returned to school to study, and no longer played the role of Xiaoxue.
Word-of-mouth ratings fell across the board.
"Forensic Qin Ming 2", because of the replacement of all the starring, the Douban score collapsed.
"Family with Children 3"
And this time, "Ode to Joy 3" is not just a simple actor replacement.
Even the original five characters were completely abandoned.
With new characters, a new story.
Therefore, it is not surprising that some netizens are confused: is this still an Ode to Joy?
Is it "Ode to Joy", just look at the new and old five beauty.
In the first two parts of "Ode to Joy", the bullseye of all the plots is directed at five urban women with very different personalities:
High cold and capable Andy.
The eccentric Qu Xiaoxiu.
The "ordinary people" who struggle to live in big cities are Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying, and Guan Juer.
It is their lives that build the audience's greatest empathy.
So, "Ode to Joy 3" is not authentic, we may as well compare it first.
What is the difference and connection between the new five beauty and the old five beauty this time?
1, the simple version of Fan Shengmei - Zhu Zhe
The first person to appear in "Ode to Joy 3" is Zhu Zhe, the housekeeping manager of the five-star hotel played by Zhang Jianning.
The human setting is easy to think of Fan Shengmei, played by the "old version of Wumei" Jiang Xin.
Elderly people in the workplace, excellent work.
There are some troubles from the original family.
The series begins with a story about her handling of a hotel emergency gracefully.
The plot is a workplace textbook for the service industry:
In the face of complaints from hotel guests, Zhu Zhe did not over-explain, causing disgust.
Instead, it is the opportunity to immediately send a fruit plate, send breakfast, send SPA, upgrade the room, and stabilize the mood of the residents.
Then we will introduce the upgraded hotel's superior suite (also a marketing process).
On the one hand, he sincerely apologized and explained his words.
The guests received more than expected benefits and were treated with enough respect to be convinced.
Keep the guests, turn your head and drive them down.
Although the cleaners made mistakes.
But the root cause is still due to the hotel's cost savings, one person responsible for cleaning more than a dozen rooms, leaving an oversight.
Therefore, she knows that the punishment alone is useless, and it must have the effect of "seven captures" in order to let the cleaning sister do heavy work with care.
Carrots and sticks, first said that wages are deducted according to regulations.
Then the conversation turns sharply, and given that you usually behave well, you can be given a day off.
It is equivalent to deducting money to send a holiday, balancing left and right, and the eldest sister was punished but did not suffer losses.
So I am grateful to zero and go away, and I will definitely be more desperate after returning to work.
One in and one out, Zhu Zhe explained what it means to beat workers without leaking.
However, compared with Fan Shengmei, Zhu Zhe does not have any "pinching" mind in the concept of marriage and love, and will not rack his brains to climb high branches.
In terms of actor selection, Zhang Jianning is not as radiant as Jiang Xin.
Introverted and practical work is the biggest characteristic of Zhang Jianning and Zhu Zhe.
2. Who is Qiu Yingying, who is Guan Juer - Yu Chuhui & He Mercy Hong
Li Haofei plays Yu Chuhui, a graduate of Shanghai Jiaotong University, who works as an assistant engineer in a state-owned enterprise.
Straightforward personality, dare to confront the boss.
He MercyHong, played by Zhang Huiwen, is also a rookie in the workplace and works as a small editor in a new media agency.
Things are rigid and real, very idealistic.
It is proposed to go to the toilet for no more than 5 minutes per person
Their characters echo Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer in the previous game.
From the perspective of personality, Yu Chuhui is more like Qiu Yingying, played by Yang Zi.
Both of them have relatively general conditions in the play, and Yu Chuhui also teaches children to practice part-time in his spare time.
And He Mercyhong, who has a more literary and artistic sense and a heavier heart, is closer to guan Juer, a well-behaved woman.
It's just that she is a strengthened version, and she dares to be blunt when she encounters unfair things.
The first two "Ode to Joy", "Little Earthworm" and "Guan Guan" have Fan Shengmei's care and words and deeds.
The two in the third part live under the protection of Zhu Zhe.
The difference between the four characters is that Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer have more distinct personalities, their shortcomings are short, and their strengths are also long.
Yu Chuhui and He Yihong are more like the redistribution of Qiu and Guan's personalities after being crushed, and the recognition is slightly blurred.
3. Misplaced Andy and Qu Xiaoxiu - Ye Zhenzhen & Fang Zhiheng
Andy and Qu Xiaoxiu, because of their "miraculous powers", are the core characters of the old version of Wumeizhong.
In the new version, the "big sister" became Ye Zhenzhen, played by Jiang Shuying.
She works in life sciences research and is a prospective scientist who drives an ultra-luxurious BMW 8 Series.
At first glance, from age to Kochi education, or even luxury cars.
The target is Andy, played by Liu Tao.
But her status as a rich second generation, overseas gilded experience, and a somewhat lively and mischievous personality.
It is also very similar to the eccentric Qu Xiaoxiu.
On the contrary, the "second sister" Fang Zhiheng, played by Yang Caijue, is a high-cold beauty and works in the financial industry.
There is a big secret hidden in the heart, and there is a handsome and golden entrepreneur male confidant.
It's exactly the same as Andy.
Liu Tao has Jin Dong, and Yang Caijue has Tan Kai
However, Fang Zhiheng's suspected act of pretending to be Bai Fumei seemed to make people see the shadow of Fan Dajie.
In fact, the new five beauty and the old five beauty, it is still difficult to strictly align them to the number.
The difference is obvious.
For example, Fang Zhiheng's hobby of martial arts, even in the old five beauty can not find the standard character at all.
You may want to ask,
Why is it also produced by the noonday sun,
The director is still Jian Chuan,
"Ode to Joy 3" will all be changed blood, another stove?
There are three reasons for this.
First, the growth arc of the five characters in the first two parts is relatively clear and near the end.
As the story continues to advance, the marriage of the person who marries, the cohabitation of the cohabitation, the living space of Wumei has ceased to exist.
If we continue to talk about it, it will no longer be the story about the Ode to Joy community, where five single women live and struggle in Shanghai.
Second, it has been 7 years since the first part in 2015, and the situation of the actors has long been different.
For example, Yang Zi, who has become the big heroine of the sweet pet drama, has grown and transformed with age.
It is difficult to play Qiu Yingying, who is not an absolute heroine, and people are a little stupid.
Qiu Yingying foolishly ate the famous scene
Liu Tao has achieved great success for playing Andy, and then copied similar roles countless times in other episodes, making the audience seriously aesthetically tired.
Wang Ziwen now has a hot mother personality, and also talked about a love that is well known throughout the country in the variety show.
The role of Qu Xiaoxiu has produced a huge generation gap.
If one of The Five Beauty is absent, the story is already difficult to establish.
At present, it is difficult for at least three actors to continue their roles.
Third, the progress and change of society also need to have new characters and stories.
The "Ode to Joy" series has always had a suitable story background, that is, China's high-pitched property market.
In particular, Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan, a pair of mandarin ducks with bitter fate.
The material obstacles of expensive and difficult to buy a house have become their biggest stumbling blocks.
Obviously, after 5 years, it is not very appropriate to put it in the current social background.
An era has an era story.
Why did "Ode to Joy" fire that year?
Because many viewers have found their own shadow from Wumei, the problem of the house has also gained a lot of empathy.
Today, the five beauties of "Ode to Joy 3" are still the epitome of real Chinese urban women.
But many conflicts and contradictions are focused on the workplace.
There is a scene that is very impressive.
It was a conversation between He Mercy Hong and her boss, and she hoped to give more social value to the article.
However, the editor-in-chief wants traffic, and with traffic they have income.
So the audience likes what they want, write about.
Look, it's about the game of flow and quality.
There's nothing wrong with the starting point, but it's hard to do.
Illuminate reality incomparably.
In fact, the "controversy" caused by the "Ode to Joy 3" has long been expected.
In the words of netizens, whoever calls you "Ode to Joy" has to use the original five people.
But if you try to open up the definition of "Ode to Joy": it does not refer specifically to the specific lives of five urban women.
Rather, it is a concrete era, the epitome of the reality of urban women in China today.
Does the story have a different flavor?
After the launch of "Ode to Joy 3", it seems that the two consecutive championships won by the whole network seem to be a harbinger.
So, to understand what it really says?
We might as well be patient and let the bullets fly a little longer.
