Text | Sister Yi (Zhou Guiyi)
Leopard print, smoky makeup, beer that never leaves your hand.
Big backlight, empty alley, drum kit, electric bass.
The heroine's three cynical "hello" kicked off the rock music festival.
Ah, Yao Chen. It's too fantastic, I can't tell this is actor Yao Chen, or the heroine of "Rock and Roll Flower", once the limelight lead singer Peng Lai.
As the lyrics go: "This woman is absolutely crazy." ”
But in the next scene, she lifts the bass and smashes her guitarist.
The audience was silent.
In the next scene, Peng Lai and her ex-husband meet at the police station, and a series of bloody things pull each other - Peng Lai divorces her husband in the morning, and her husband receives a certificate from his best girlfriend in the afternoon.
It turns out that this is the human world.
She dashingly flew away, wanting to leave a legend to the rivers and lakes, but reality only gave her a colder slap in the face.
For a former lead singer, a woman abandoned by her family, a woman betrayed by friendship and love - the world turned out to be warm, and even colder and hell.
Day and night in the United States, Penley spent his days and nights reminiscing with nursing home patients who did not speak a language; On her dismissal day, she cleared her salary arrears with a glass of wine.
Until she was informed that her ex-husband suddenly died of a heart attack, she wanted to return to China to get along again with her adult daughter (played by Zhuang Duffy), who had never met before.
The story of "Rock and Roll Flower" continues here.
This is an extremely unusual mother-daughter relationship, and the meeting gift given during the day to a mother who has not met in 16 years is a basin of cold water.
The place where two people most often meet is the police station.
After all, Peng Lai dared to throw away all her daughter's clothes, and her daughter dared to burn half of the suite that belonged to her.
The only happy relationship scene in the play that is close to "traditional normal mother and daughter", the two parties go shopping together, buy milk tea for Penglai during the day, and Penglai makes up during the day.
As soon as the style of painting changed, it was a deal negotiated by the two sides to quit school and start a band during the day, and he needed his mother's signature.
At this point, Peng Lai made a plan, came to a transfer tiger away from the mountain, and asked the agent to go to the house to see the house - she wanted to sell the house, the money was one and a half, and she hurried to go her separate ways.
So angry that he pushed Penglai directly into the water during the day.
Propulsion into the water.
Push into the water...
But the two people who are so needle-sharp to Mai Mang have a deep emotional bond inside.
During the day, he used pretending to be pregnant to stimulate Peng Lai, "let her know the cost of not being by my side, and make her feel guilty." My friend Bin Bin wondered if you wanted her to be around or not.
Peng Lai was really stimulated, thinking over and over again of her young pregnancy and hope for a new life, which was the rare softness and fragility of her life.
The next second, the way she handled this matter was: "During the day, I can't let you be bullied in vain, I want to send this man to see your father." ”
The two people have the same way of doing things and the worldview.
During the day, because my grandparents did not recognize themselves and did not allow themselves to return to their hometown to worship, they came up with a trick - secretly adjusted the urn at the funeral, intending to leave "Dad" by his side.
Penley threw the ashes away as expired milk powder.
The two people easily rummaged through the trash bin and found it, and Peng Lai took it in the wrong direction and spilled it all.
The white weather was rapidly deteriorating, and Peng Lai regretted it: "If you don't find a vacuum cleaner, how much can your father suck back?" ”
One puts the ashes in a milk powder bucket, and the other vacuums the ashes, never, never.
I want to quit school during the day to form a rock band. Peng Lai was afraid that his daughter would repeat her frustration, and the way to deal with it was - pull the brake and lock the control box.
The way to fight back during the day is to directly tear down the door of my mother.
Penley held his breath and came back with a new door - hey, proper rock 'n' roll.
The most important thing is that the two people don't look at each other well, but they both have the urge to rock in their blood, so they are the same.
During the day, it was clear that the marketing major was completely unsuitable for her, and she tried in every possible way to overcome all difficulties - to work full-time in rock bands.
And after Peng Lai gradually realized that her self-exile and escape, so that her own daughter looked down on her, the way she chose to "stand up" was - I can only do rock.
"Rock and Roll Crazy Flower" takes the formation of a band as an introduction, but the essence is that the mother-daughter relationship can also be like rock, more independent, free, and challenge each other.
It is not because this blood relationship exists, it has a program, a dogma, because there is no standard for individuals to get along.
In the most difficult moments, Peng Lai did not think of kidnapping her daughter by blood, and whenever she said this, it was to provoke the other party, and she knew that moral kidnapping was the deepest injury.
(Peng Lai does not have the kind of sad feeling that "a mother is an unconditional sacrifice and giving", she is resentful of being offended by her daughter, and feels that "there is no emotion to talk about blood")
During the day, she did not settle the injustice and hurt with her own mother over the years, and did not blame all her pain on her original family, on the contrary, she was quite proud that she got along well with her stepmother.
(During the day, I think that stepmother Chen Yue is a particularly kind woman, marrying her own father is not worth it, her own father, which is worthy)
Yao Chen met a very textured character, she did it exceptionally well, a failed idealist, rebellious, egoistic, but real enough individual.
It's just that this individual happens to be a mother.
Zhuang Duffy does not have so many propriety, self-suppressing "Kong Rong let pear" feeling, but also does not have the painful and extremely heavy "bone and flesh" feeling of Nezha.
She is proud and cheerful from beginning to end, full of vitality, and ghostly horses.
Many domestic works are writing about the relationship between mother and daughter, but so not heavy, slimy, suffocating, and even joyful, offensive, and liberating, as if "Rock and Roll Flower" is the first.
Yao Chen's last drama "All Very Good" that came out of the circle also had a mother-daughter relationship, where she was her daughter.
She encountered the general plight of East Asian women, the original sin of family preference for sons. Mom felt that she should live for her brothers and brothers, give up all opportunities, she could not experience love, and was morally kidnapped by everyone in the family for life.
This is a mother-daughter relationship that cannot be reconciled until the mother dies and enters the stage of death.
(In "It's All Good", at Su's mother's funeral, the family accused each other of complaining and pulling, and they all felt that "they had paid too much", and the love of family affection disappeared, only tired)
In "Rock and Roll Flower", in the face of his 19-year-old daughter who pretended to be pregnant out of wedlock, Peng Lai's reaction was that although he was distressed, he regarded the other party as an absolutely independent life.
(Penglai famous saying "A man is a pregnant medium", a cautionary saying, flowing for a hundred generations, awesome, awesome!) ）
It's a truly modern, light, innovative mother-daughter relationship, and "Rock 'n' Roll Flower" does just that.
We misunderstand rock, and we generally think that, frolic, and drunkenness are the spirit of rock.
No, the true rock spirit is to release the brutality of human nature and challenge the system, rules, and social formats.
The beauty of the drama "Rock and Roll Flower" is that it wraps the relationship between mother and daughter in the form of music, and the mother and daughter jointly put a question mark on this relationship of kidnapping, controlling, and entanglement with each other, and are full of idealistic loneliness and self-mockery to find a solution.
"Light Pick-up Limited Wild Flower Series" The best thing is always the perspective of looking at the world.
As the first work of iQIYI's new "Crazy Flowers Series", "Rock and Roll Crazy Flower" is open: new enough themes, new enough angles, and enough new cognition and interpretation.
And enough cinematic texture.
Director Li Jun has been abroad for a long time, and he is a director who has always had something in his heart that he wants to challenge and break; Dayao is the first artist to put forward in her speech "what have I paid for childbirth in recent years", and the works she has participated in and supervised in recent years have strong feminist reflections.
(Regarding "Send Me to Qingyun", Yao Chen once said: Every character in the movie is honest because he honestly expresses his desires.) Desire is not a pejorative term)
Li Jun and Yao Chen both said at the meeting: "Not every crew makes you feel so free. ”
This is the original intention of iQIYI to always insist on doing a good job of content.
The "Pick Up Limited Wild Flowers Series" is a new blind box launched by iQiyi, followed by innovative female themes such as "Hearts Rippling" and "Grandma's New World" to strengthen the sense of surprise brought by limited themes.
I have been a mother for almost ten years, and I have always hoped that myself, following the times, following the unknown, I accept that my cognition and experience are modified and even subverted, and I feel that this is the meaning that children bring to me - I have experienced the new era with my whole heart and in his perspective.
He must, very, very much, like "Rock 'n' Roll Flower."
Follow iQiyi, follow the wild flowers, let your world view, rock and roll.
