Sir casually opened a Chinese drama two days ago.
I almost couldn't believe my eyes.
- Is this a national drama?
The opening is like this.
On the birthday of her girlfriend, her boyfriend carried a cake early in the morning, held flowers, and stood expectantly at her door.
A phone call goes over.
He cleared his throat, and she cleared his throat:
- Baby, I have a surprise ~
- (Sleeper, what to do!) ）
Only to see the heroine break free from the arms of the man next door, quickly jump out of bed, hide in the corner...
No time to explain, make it up!
The first side of the shield, the two roommates are arguing, baby you go back first.
Screen whatsoever.
Roommates, dressed as lovers, appeared.
Summer didn't come back last night
Isn't she with you?
The second side of the shield, work - the male roommate is clever, grab the mobile phone and play the round for her.
The next second.
"Pig teammate", recruited.
- You didn't go yesterday...
- What are you talking about
That batch of materials was delivered this morning
No way.
I had to move out the last shield – to be honest, I was at my mother's house, and the old man was not feeling well.
Well, the next thing you should be able to guess:
△ "Pot Aunt" Liu Dan, meet again
In 5 minutes, the hostess gathered her boyfriend, roommate, and mother at the door... Just don't see the heroine.
The boyfriend's face froze, but the bullet screen laughed madly.
But where is this?
When the atmosphere of this drama is pushed to a climax...
The picture turns again, back to the bed at the beginning, and the strange man slowly opens his eyes to reveal his true face.
WTF？
Ex-boyfriend! Before wearing pajamas! Man! Friend!
National drama ah national drama.
How long has it been since I played so exciting—
Summer of love
Sir could not have been the audience of this kind of domestic urban love, but he chased 14 episodes in one breath.
Of course, it is indispensable to "peer support".
In the categories that may be the most homogenized at present (women's dramas, love dramas), very few can shoot personalities.
And she can be called a fierce clear stream.
At first glance, she will be recognized because of the conflict of being out of line and even slightly "dog blood".
At first glance, those ghostly and flabby comedic skills will make you remember her.
To the end.
Sir's heart is more of a pity.
Because looking around, this kind of female role in the national drama is disappearing.
We can only miss her.
01
The poster almost says —
This is a story about "entanglement".
The heroine Xia (played by Wu Qian), the ex-boyfriend You Xu Zehao (played by Qin Junjie), and the current boyfriend Guan Xin (played by Yang Bingzhuo).
First of all, there is no need to rush to death with the stick of "three views are not correct".
What happened that night?
Sleep, definitely not sleep (at least the ex-boyfriend said so).
Love, of course, is certainly not completely broken.
This has to start at the beginning.
In the summer, he broke up with his first love boyfriend Xu Zehao, who had been talking for five years five years ago, and a year ago, through the introduction of his roommate, he met Guan Xin, a gentle and considerate plastic surgeon with a kind heart, and the two fell in love at first sight and became objects.
However, on this day, the perfect boyfriend went on a blind date with her behind her back.
Summer learned about it and immediately rushed to the scene and sat behind her boyfriend to eavesdrop. I wanted to use my mobile phone to discuss with the man sitting opposite, change seats to facilitate "investigation", and the result... He is Xu Zehao.
Panicked summer, scolded Xu Zehao's boyfriend Guan Xin, and then rushed out of the restaurant, resulting in a moment of nervousness, the two took the wrong mobile phone.
Summer went straight to the bar and drunk himself, Xu Zehao had to bring the drunk Summer home in order to change back to his mobile phone...
You all know the rest of the story.
Here's the problem -
Quarrel in love, two people are half wrong, how to break the deadlock?
Boyfriend blind date, falling asleep at the ex-boyfriend's house, must be wrong.
But how can you make the two reconcile and even warm up their feelings without making your boyfriend disgusted and not making yourself look humble?
If it's you, how do you do it.
In fact, the heroine can pick up her boyfriend's mistakes in the first place, pose high, and cover her "sin".
But in the end, she did not choose to do so.
The screenwriter also did not continue to "dog blood" a series of coincidences.
Step 1: Face your ex-boyfriend and seriously refuse.
First of all, he praised his ex-boyfriend for his current boyfriend, and then returned the stray dog he picked up that night, and broke off his thoughts.
Step 2: Confess.
It was encountered, it was a broken piece, it was a one night stay.
But the questioning of the current boyfriend is also based on reason, and there is no compromise.
- Don't I know what it's like to be drunk?
You love to be spoiled as soon as you are drunk
It's easy to let others misunderstand
- Isn't that because you're dating?
If you don't go on a blind date, I won't go drinking
So you think I'm very casual with everyone over drinking, aren't you?
The third and most ingenious step.
Even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she took the first step.
Summer uses her and Guan Xin's mutual friend Dong Hao to let him talk between the two in order to soften the cold war between the two.
After everything is laid, zoom in on the move:
After work, he came to Guan Xin's house with flowers, cleaned up the house for him, sprayed perfume, and waited in the closet for Guan Xin to return.
Surprise you back!
It seems that she put down her body to coax her boyfriend, but in fact, she gave the right steps to let her boyfriend Guan Xin take the initiative to apologize first, so as to reconcile.
A set of processes down, the summer "character arc" to form a closed loop.
She is a bit "careful of the machine", but the heart machine is to strengthen the feelings; She loves to play "little clever", but smart is also because of the failure of previous feelings and become cautious; At the same time, she is also a little "little afraid" - in the face of Guan Xin's overly perfect silhouette, she never dares to reveal a real flawed self.
It's not so much that she's "entangled" with feelings.
Rather, she was bound by the "perfect self" in that relationship and wanted to catch her breath.
It's not just feelings that have to be entangled in the summer.
As a 30+ woman, the biggest problem in surviving in the city is work.
Her experience can be described as the current situation of most young entrepreneurs:
Professional interior design, and has a special affection for trees, she has determined the direction of her future career very early.
When she was still in love with Xu Zehao, she said that she wanted to open a furniture design studio with her girlfriend (not with her boyfriend Xu Zehao):
- So I must later
Open your own studio
I've thought of a name
Summer Pine Studio
- Why Komatsu and not me?
The cost of opening a studio is high, and she does not "nibble on the old", although she lives at home, she still has to pay the rent to her mother on time.
All the expenses in work and life are borrowed from my mother, and I am facing the pressure of being collected by my mother every day.
There is a "love brain", and there is a career brain.
Such a hostess set.
The national drama has been waiting for a long time.
02
Then again.
Such a setting is cool, but it is not realistic.
If someone asks a married woman today: How do you juggle family and career?
This is bias.
But if someone asks young people today: how to balance love and career?
This is true.
When Summer balances the relationship between the two, she encounters a more complicated and tricky situation - the ex-boyfriend who has not yet fallen in love with her has become her party A.
On the one hand, there are excellent projects and ex-boyfriends who do not want to see each other again, on the other hand, there is a perfect current boyfriend and a relationship full of crises.
How to choose in the summer?
She did not choose to give up either side.
In her career, she did not want Xu Zehao to think that she still had feelings for him, so she could not immediately agree to cooperate, she played a heart eye.
Use table tennis with Xu Zehao to decide the winner or loser, and whoever wins will listen to whom.
However, the last ball, she deliberately did not catch, got cheap and sold a good to Party A's father -
When she was working, she did not let Xu Zehao release water because he still liked him, but did business and work first.
The two will appreciate each other when they come up with a good plan.
- Actually the homestay is home in another sense
- Introduce some concepts of inclusion and healing, so that people can naturally find communication and love here
- This is what we want to do with the homestay
Summer wants to leave work early and date Guan Xin, but Xu Zehao grabbed the small braids on the plan, and she will not play Lai to let it go, but honestly change the plan and then leave work.
The two styles are so different
You don't even have a reference point
I remember that this work was suspected of plagiarism
You include it in the reference
What do you think
redo
Xu Zehao was angry with summer the day before, and scolded the summer plan at the next meeting, and asked her to redo it.
Although Summer was aggrieved, she also took the initiative to admit that what he said was reasonable, and she would find a way to change it.
- Redo it twice and you can't stand it
If Party A is not satisfied
If you change it a hundred times, you have to change it
- I'll talk to Komatsu when I get back
What I just said makes sense
It turns out that a woman with a love brain can also be rational, fair and objective when working with her ex-boyfriend.
The career is taken care of, and the love has encountered a crisis.
Guan Xin never confessed to Summer about his origins—he was adopted in a welfare home.
And he meets Lu Xi (Li Jiajie), a girl who grew up in the welfare home, because he has a guilty feeling for Lu Xi, and since he recognized her, Guan Xin has been silently concerned about Lu Xi.
A different kind of relationship developed between the two people.
△ Guan Xin, who can't eat spicy and doesn't like to eat roadside stalls, accompanies Lu Xi to eat spicy roadside stalls
Soon, the matter was discovered by Summer.
Just when Guan Xin invited Lu Xi to his home for dinner without Xia, Xia just came to the door of Guan Xin's house, and the scene was an embarrassment.
As soon as Guan Xin saw Lu Xi, he pulled her into the house and shut Summer out.
But Summer did not hang herself like a normal love brain, but very calmly gave Guan Xin the opportunity to explain.
Guan Xin took out her mobile phone for her to look at casually, but she returned the mobile phone to Guan Xin.
Said:
I don't want to be that
A woman who looks up her phone behind her boyfriend's back
There are always gains and losses
Like a madman
You can't make me like that
So far.
The "ambition" of the summer has also completed the closed loop.
She wants to take care of career love too much, and in the end, career love has a crisis, and she has paid a price, and in the end, she may be a chicken feather.
But isn't that exactly the process of growing up?
When a person realizes that his "eyes are high and low", it is often the beginning of evolution.
"You can't make me like that".
The subtext is: I love you, but I hate myself even more for loving you so much that I lose that living "self."
Just like Yohji Yamamoto once said: "Self" this thing is invisible, bump into something else, bounce back, will understand "self".
Pity.
Nowadays, most chinese dramas do not allow women to take the initiative to "bump into" something.
Because from start to finish.
They must be perfect, flawless, and independent.
03
A thought question:
How long have we not seen in domestic dramas the heroine who wants to fall in love vigorously and make money?
Or, the whole time silly white sweet, become a little princess held in the palm of her boyfriend's hand.
Or, at the beginning with IQ and courage, to become a "strong woman" who wins in life, but will always have to fall into the love storm of "love brain" in the end.
But we weren't like that.
There is no need to run in front of the TVB workplace drama early:
There are sisters with guns who are obsessed with young children, there are martyr female firefighters who mistakenly fall into the married male scam, and there are mature female forensic doctors who actively date...
Sir will give an example of a national drama.
Moving out now, she may be the "non-mainstream" among women in national dramas.
"The Gate of the Great Mansion" Bai Wenshi.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, she was called a successful female "entrepreneur".
But when the key to the "big mansion door" was handed over to Bai Wen's hand, there was a big mess to be collected, and there was a large family to raise.
What about Bai Wenshi?
Don't panic.
First collect the existing funds, the money on the books, more than ten thousand two silver into the bank, collect interest, but also maintain three or four years of expenses.
Tighten the cost again, before the meal, rub both ears together, and pull off the two agate earrings.
Change a meal of meat on the child's table.
In the end, this turnaround battle was really beautiful.
When she entered the White Family Ancestral Hall again, she looked at her father-in-law's tablet and burst into tears.
This breath finally won him back.
It can be said that Bai Wen's recapture of the Baicao Hall is the most beautiful business war drama at the beginning of the gate of the mansion.
Obviously, she is already so "strong".
How do you see her facing men?
When he advised his father-in-law not to make a vendetta against the Zhan King's Mansion, his father-in-law threw the goldfish to the ground in a fit of rage.
Bai Wenshi clumsily picked up the fish and threw it into the fish tank.
Turn around, afraid that the father-in-law will scold himself.
The head went down again.
Before going to bed, her husband angrily advised her not to take the house.
She was full of grievances: No one hurt me anyway.
The husband was provoked by her, "My heart aches! ”
She leaned forward again and lit a cigarette for her husband.
"Strong women", the focus is still "people".
The screenwriter did not let her career strength overshadow the softness, desire, and weakness of her human nature.
Dig a little deeper.
This slightly "clever" flattery is even more the instinct of women to protect themselves in that era.
Sir understandable of course.
At present, in the era of the rise of women's ideological trends, Chinese opera is eager to show the independence of Chinese women and the strength of women.
The starting point is good.
However.
If this "independence" and "strength" are based entirely on the immaculate morality of the Virgin, the iron will, and the assistance of external forces.
Then we are just setting a rigid model for women again.
That's why Sir wants Amway's Summer of Love today.
It may not be the sweetest, most Sue, and coolest in the national drama.
At the very least, it dares to broaden the contours of "her."
At last.
Sir would like to quote director Huang Shuqin again.
What is a women's film??
"I think of women's films as opening a window to the east or west where people are used to sitting in rooms facing south and north, and the windows are always facing south.
This other window allows us to see a different landscape. ”
