There are new varieties of domestic dramas.
Rock band.
Middle-aged woman.
From the subject matter to the content, it is clear-cut.
Be crazy, be crazy, be rebellious.
To drag you back to the restless summer days in late autumn of October.
"Rock and Roll Flower"
At present, Douban has a score of 7.4, and the results in national dramas are good.
Except for some expressions that rock fans don't quite agree with.
But many critics also admit that they are fascinated by the hostess, with a distinct personality, breaking the convention, and rare in national dramas.
Does it taste right?
At least there are many insiders.
Veteran Chinese rock fans should have heard of her - Gao Yuan, who once used cameras and words to closely record the first generation of rockers in domestic entertainment, served as the chief music planner of the play, and her daughter Dou Jiayan also contributed original works.
Music creation includes Joyside, Brainstorm, Landfill, Wave, Muppet...
Many scenes in the play were shot in the famous school bar.
bar owner, Joyside's bassist Liu Hao;
Another member of Joyside, guitarist Liu Hongwei, made a cameo appearance as a psychopath;
Rustic vocalist Li Yan and drummer Li Fan also showed their faces in the play.
Maybe this drama can really break the shackles of some domestic dramas and shoot new tricks?
With a strong curiosity.
Sir chased 12 episodes in one breath, which will give you a good explanation.
01
All "evil" women
First of all, the temperament is different.
We have seen a lot of stories about failed middle-aged men, and this time domestic dramas rarely focus on middle-aged women, and they also have their own special attributes - those who engage in rock music are full of tension when they appear.
But, don't think it's like in Summer of the Band, blood-boiling, happy rock.
Almost all of them are "evil women".
The heroine Peng Lai (played by Yao Chen).
The lead singer of "Wild Flowers", a flower covered in thorns.
When her daughter was six years old, because her ex-husband cheated on her good teammate Chen Yue (played by Zhao Ziqi), she hit her concussion on the stage in a fit of anger.
After the divorce, he left his daughter to her ex-husband and Chen Yue and went to the United States by herself.
Not to further study, not to be a star.
Go swing rotten.
Selling and singing "Love to Fight to Win" (sarcasm), working as a caregiver in a nursing home, bragging with English-speaking foreign elders, drinking rotten wine and being beaten by her boyfriend... It's simply "the rest of my life disgusted".
If it weren't for the rolling circle ferromagnetic Da Cui (played by Chang Yuan), I am afraid that he would die in a foreign land.
Her ex-husband died of an unexpected heart attack, and Da Cui persuaded her to come back to see her daughter.
But instead of coming back to take care of her daughter, she was causing her trouble.
On the first day of returning home, I got drunk with my "old friends", lying vertically all over the bedroom, living room...
The daughter during the day (played by Duffy Zhuang) is also not a fuel-saving lamp.
She not only inherited her mother's love for rock, but also her mother's violent temper.
I haven't seen it for twelve years, and I came up with a basin of cold water to greet me:
And Peng Lai's mother, Daytime Grandma (played by Wei Qing) is not a good mother in the traditional sense.
When she was a child, she left Peng Lai to be raised by an alcoholic aunt, and Peng Lai was severely beaten by her aunt, which gave Peng Lai's invincible character a root.
This old lady lost her mind in her later years, but she retained the rigidity in the bones of the women in the family, and she was an "old cannon".
When Peng Lai encountered a disturbance when he sang, the old lady was a beer bottle to the man's head.
It's not my character to kill you or not
Chen Yue, a member of the Crazy Flower Band, and many (played by Dai Lele) are not even intimate sisters.
The former hooked up with her best friend's husband, Peng Lai just divorced in the morning, and she and Peng Lai's ex-husband received a certificate in the afternoon.
After the band disbanded, it betrayed the rolling circle and reduced the dimensionality blow, and actually sang as the draft champion, but the star went back and could only take on the commercial performance in the sinking market.
The latter, drummer of the band Wild Flowers, ex-wife of Dae Choi. After the band disbanded, the sanitary napkin business flourished, and they got married when they met someone they liked. In the third marriage, she met a young little fresh meat, and she was also willing to take what she needed, and lived very freely.
As a result, not long after, the company went bankrupt, and Xiaobai wanted to divorce him, and she could also see it:
The husband and wife are birds of the same age
Disaster strikes and flies separately
It wasn't until her son told her that this little white face was hooking up with other women everywhere that she unceremoniously taught the scumbag a lesson.
In a word, the old lady was a punk back then.
All in all, domestic dramas have not seen such a high density of "evil girl" group dramas for a long time, so there is no need to worry about the mouse pulling the progress bar, not only moving the mouth but also the hands, and it is cool to the end without breathing.
The theme song "Her" created by the landfill band is summarized in place:
This woman is absolutely crazy
The parties all ruined her
The was more radical because of her
The game all made her ruin
The rules were also revolutionized by her
Gender blurred her
Consciousness is also occupied by her
Of course, Sir is a little embarrassed when it comes to this.
The last time Neiyu saw real female rockers so intensively was on the stage of "Lexia" two years ago.
The last time I saw a female rocker with a distinct personality and singing with life in a film and television drama was Ni Hongjie in the old Cui Jian's directorial work "Blue Bones" eight years ago.
This time, they formed a group and returned.
Remind us that women's war is not only in the workplace, family, but also on the stage where the floor is trembling.
If you want to prove the wonderfulness of the female spiritual world, at least there should be enough types.
This is the existence value of "Rock and Roll Flower" that first hit over.
02
Bizarre relationships
Everyone has such a hard personality, what happens when they collide together?
The highlight is, of course, Penglai's mother and daughter during the day.
Sir has never seen such a strange mother-daughter relationship.
They are not a mother-daughter war between a strict mother and a rebellious daughter, like the average youth film.
Nor is it a motherly and daughter-filial and bitter drama.
It is not so much that they are mother and daughter, but that they are two equal people who are enemies and friends, love and kill each other, and are evenly matched.
During the day, he always hated Peng Lai for ignoring himself for twelve years, and he was full of prejudices about her since she came home.
Peng Lai is a person without heart and lungs. Thinking about her daughter and loving her daughter again, coming out of her mouth, it became hurtful words.
- You don't come back for twelve years
What are you suddenly rolling back for
- You were born to me
You dare to hit me again
I'll kill you, believe it or not
As a result, this home became their first "rock stage":
During the day, the door lock of the house was changed, and Peng Lai took 502 keyholes to block.
Penglai threw away Penglai's clothes during the day, and Penglai also threw away his daytime clothes.
During the day, he was furious, and he ordered the Penglai bed again...
In the end, my mother couldn't help it, secretly hung up the house, and planned to separate and return to the United States.
This time the white weather was anxious, and without saying a word, he pushed Penglai down the lake...
The mother and daughter became regular visitors to the police station.
The conflict between mother and daughter continues to escalate, and their behavior becomes more and more extreme.
In order to start a band during the day, the fake pregnancy tricked Peng Lai into helping her apply for a suspension of school. Peng Lai's attitude towards the "child" in the belly during the day is the same as when he was unexpectedly pregnant during the day, no matter who the child's father is, what the child's father attitude is, if you have a child, you have to raise it!
And yet the magic is.
Day after day, they also began to get to know each other.
Grandma's unexpected addition made the three generations of this mother and daughter gradually bridge it in a misunderstanding.
Grandma mistakenly thought that it was Penglai during the day, and confided her guilt for Penglai to the daytime, and in the process, it seemed that Penglai had also completed his repentance for the day.
Don't think that from now on it will be a happy ending for mother and daughter, the anti-routine of this drama will definitely make your jaw drop.
Just give a hint:
Is this the old man's cemetery? Just "picking"?
Under the bridge, soon the patrol security guards came over, dig it out or not?
In addition to the strange family relationship, this drama also shows "rock" characteristics everywhere when dealing with love and friendship.
Other not spoilers, Sir said a scene on the hot search:
Is it really like a hot search entry, just a "cool" word?
Looking back at the plot, there are more subtle emotions mixed in.
When Peng Lai heard the news of her ex-husband's unexpected death, there seemed to be no wave in his heart.
During the day, she put her father's ashes in the milk powder can, Peng Lai thought that the milk powder was moldy, and did not ask, and threw it directly into the trash.
The mother and daughter quickly rummaged through the trash can.
I really let Peng Lai find it, but she was happy too early, the milk powder can was taken backwards, and Peng Lai personally raised the ashes of her ex-husband...
Look at her expression at the moment:
The smile retracted, and the expression froze.
But in the next second, immediately use jokes to dissolve the grief in your heart, and how much can be sucked back with a vacuum cleaner.
In the national drama full of dog blood love, "Wild Flower" wants to use black humor to puncture those stereotypical taboos, such as dispersion, impermanence, life and death in life...
Therefore, Sir believes that this drama has never wanted to satisfy everyone from the beginning.
If you often evaluate it with the truth of real life, it is inevitable that you will be stunned and even uncomfortable.
How do you determine if you're its audience?
Sir will prompt you with a scene:
The plot is Penley's dream, she dresses cheesy and exaggerated, takes the wild flower band through the screaming fans, burrows into the extended Lincoln, and the driver of the car is Da Cui.
The three old sisters held the shelf for a long time, and finally were willing to take off their sunglasses, and then smiled tacitly and knowingly, it felt so good!
The design of this magical plot is full of style and provocation.
Plus Penglai's memories of the flashback of the whole drama:
It was presented through the characters, the rock dream of a generation.
Is this a lie?
It's possible.
But pay attention - this is a dream, the fans are fake, Lincoln is fake, and even the feeling of immersion in memories is fake.
When I woke up, the years of awesomeness also fell into chicken feathers.
Sir can feel the consciousness of the creator behind it:
To rekindle rock blood in the fireworks of the city, inspirational routines are obviously unattainable.
Don't you watch much idol reality shows?
The way "Wild Flowers" is handled reminds Sir of the stage of "Lexia", where Da Zhang Wei, as a guest, shouted to his peers who loved and killed each other on stage, Peng Lei in new pants:
You have to be irritable.
Yes, making the plot and character irritable may not be the most rounded and appropriate way to deal with it, but it achieves at least one effect:
Audiences don't think they're watching a teacher-and-teacher urban soap opera.
03
Rock on life
Although the common words of the rolling circle people in the play are a little more, the national scolding, poor mouth, and the same easy and natural as the mouth of the mouth float out.
At the same time, it also has a friendly channel for non-rock music fans.
"People".
Rock people are people, and female rock people are women.
In the end, this drama is about the universal topic of how a failed middle-aged person gets along with the world.
Penglai's "slag" stemmed from successive failures, and he was unlucky to get home.
The "Wild Flower Band" disbanded, and the rock dream was shattered.
My husband ran away with my girlfriend, and love and friendship failed.
The mother abandoned herself, the daughter was abandoned by herself, and the family affection was not settled.
Embark on the road of playing rock and roll is not a natural gift, but a lifesaver to get rid of the original family.
Since she was a child by her alcoholic aunt's domestic violence, she also learned to drink to escape pain, and she was drinking in almost every shot in the play.
△ At the drinking cessation and mutual aid meeting, he also confessed to alcohol
She dare not express love to others, has no heart or lungs for anyone, and even constantly pushes away and hurts the people around her who are good to her.
The experience of being abandoned since childhood made her afraid of rejection, and her favorite movie lines are:
To not be rejected
The best thing to do is to reject someone first
When the United States was at its most depressed, she even thought about suicide.
But she always had a strength in her heart.
When she decided to reorganize the band "Wild Flower", in order to earn recording fees, she also had to perform with a dumb voice.
When performing in a bar, I saw someone drugging a girl at the same table, and immediately pointed out that the road was uneven and could not be ignored.
Even after being diagnosed with cancer, in order to fulfill her dream of performing on stage, she was not afraid of "everyone betraying and leaving" and deceived everyone around her (how to deceive can not be spoilers, everyone can watch it for themselves in order to get the best viewing effect).
Penglai seems to be lost to the end, but in fact he has been actively fighting against the tragedy of life.
She never wanted to change herself and give up rocking.
In Sir's opinion, what this drama is ultimately about is: whether a person can win respect and gain a sense of value without changing.
Everyone around Penley changes over time.
Chen Yue transformed from a bass player in a rock band to a commercial singer who can only receive no one cares; Many drummers gave up punk and started businesses; Dae Cui, the manager of the rock band, also opened a hot pot restaurant...
Some people glorify growth and flexibility, and some people say that they have been smoothed out by life.
But if you look closely, you will find that these people are not satisfied with the change:
Da Cui could not take off the black leather coat;
Many go bankrupt and go violently with interviewers;
Chen Yue's only request to the brokerage company is not to accept the business performance in Beijing for herself, for fear that acquaintances will see it.
Only Penglai, man to middle age, always prickly, always rock.
-How do I feel that a month has passed
You are still the same Penglai
- Even if the sky falls apart
I will still be the same Penley
Oh, yes.
When all the poisonous chicken soup is encouraging "be a better version of yourself".
But how many people have not thought:
What is yourself?
Changing yourself is actually a false proposition, each person is a unique being. If for the sake of standards, compromise and submit to life, system, even specific organizations and individuals, discard what you are good at and love, and become one of the countless standards, the result is simply "no self".
There is such a symbol in the play, Peng Lai's ex-husband with very few shots.
The ashes that were accidentally thrown after death are a metaphor for dark humor.
In Penglai's memories, this man was always changing himself.
It was he who pampered Penglai to organize a band and become an agent, and it was he who betrayed and cheated on him, and also ridiculed Penglai for faking Qinggao, bent on making money.
In fact, an ordinary person without talent and mediocrity.
Sir Brain Supplement He represents a kind of person who always wants to step on the drumbeat of the times, change and change, chase desire, and the result is still lost in nothingness.
Therefore, people always have to find some kind of calibration for "themselves".
This is the only weapon among thousands of individuals that proves the value of life for the rest of their long lives.
Yu Penglai is a guitar that can never be thrown away, it is rock.
What about us?
It's a pen, a lens, a string of code...
Peng Lai thought he was annoying during the day, but deep down, free and independent; It is also the self that we think we have forgotten and lost, but always shine in that moment.
Believe it once, and everyone can rock.
