After 6 episodes of "Lady's Character", as a female fertility proposition essay, can it pass

On February 8, the TV series "Lady's Character" was updated to episode 6. I explained my views in the review article the day before, the workplace part of this TV series is somewhat suspended, and the part of family life is relatively real. After 6 episodes of the plot, I update my personal opinion, that is: as a propositional composition TV series on the theme of female fertility, whether this "Lady's Character" passes.

Zhao Dongling is a screenwriter who is good at creating propositional composition TV drama scripts. At a time when the number of newborns is declining year by year, humanistic care for women's fertility problems in the form of TV dramas, and then achieving the purpose of making young men and women willing to have children, is also a way for TV dramas to help social development. Therefore, this "propositional composition" written by Zhao Dongling is of positive significance to the times.

In the synopsis of the TV series "Lady's Character" (Douban), it does not shy away from its own purpose, and it is directly marked: these three women of different ages of the post-70s, post-80s, and post-90s are tempted by multiple desires to pursue personal value, career development, and family fulfillment, although they are in trouble at the same time, they encounter difficulties such as workplace fertility choices, Dink's fertility reflections in life, and the fertility troubles of newcomers who work, but they continue to trial and error, bravely explore and move forward, and support each other to heal. In the end, I found the right choice.

Based on this, let's return to the category of "propositional composition" to examine whether the "Lady's Character" written by Zhao Dongling can pass. First of all, my personal opinion, this TV series should be given a passing grade. Only from the perspective of commercial cool drama, it is passable and interesting, and from this point of view, it should be given a higher score. From the perspective of propositional composition, it is rejected, there is no off-topic, and a passing grade can also be given.

However, this TV series is also limited to passing scores, and if you want to get more points, your own strength is no longer allowed. "Lady's Character" is a slight rhetoric, and the humanistic care for the topic of women's fertility is still far from enough. When we try to care about women's fertility in the way of TV series, what we should really do is not a commercial suspension drama like "Lady's Character", but a TV series on a more solid realist level.

There may be dissenting viewers who say that the TV series is too realistic and no one watches it. This is a cliché, outdated view. If this view had been put ten years ago, it might still be true. However, at the moment, I would say that the more realistic the TV series, the better the ratings. For the majority of product placement advertisers, paying more attention to those realistic TV series may achieve better market feedback effects.

Returning to the specific content of "Lady's Character", the economic life of the three families has a bit of a higher starting point. This high creates a sense of suspension for the audience. For example, Wan Qian's character family, the male protagonist is already the director of a variety show, and the female protagonist is already a small leader who manages many people under him. Their income level is obviously enough to support the birth and future education of their children, and even the family has no basic housing difficulties.

After this starting point, the hero and heroine do not want to have children because of career problems, which will make the audience feel hypocritical. Because today's young married women, because of career problems, and unable to have children, most of them are the lowest employees in the company, and they dare not give birth rashly under the premise of no economic security. The male and female protagonists are relatively secure groups in their careers, which is not easy to convince the audience.

In order to increase the dramatic effect, the content of episode 6 of "Lady's Character" added the scene where the relatives of the hero and heroine's families are in danger of their lives because of giving birth. This content seems too deliberate. Although the dramatic effect is there, the real effect is discounted, and there is a taste of worrying about giving new words. It can be said that the male and female heads of the family do not touch the real reason why a large number of young people do not have children.

Liu Mintao's character family is a bit like scaring the audience, and it is not honest enough. This family, which belongs to the typical Dinker family, is already a handful of years old and will definitely not be able to have more children. And this family, it is because there are no children, so the male protagonist cheats, so he finds another young woman to have children, and only then quietly divides property and so on. The narrative on this road is really like scaring the vast female audience.

This kind of intimidation has gone beyond humanistic care, and is more like a threat of words and stories. Our TV series on fertility must not do this. Humanistic care is not to scare, but to really care for this group. Writing propositional composition-style TV dramas is not to fool the audience, not to have several more hearts than the audience, but to make friends with the audience, treat the audience as relatives, tell the truth, and do not engage in deceptive story content. Contemporary audiences, aesthetically very mature, using the story of the second female family to fool the audience's behavior may be eaten back.

After 6 episodes, although the story of the female family is not much, there is some realism. In yesterday's review article, I have explained my views and arguments. Especially the bridge where the mother-in-law takes care of the child is relatively real. In the newly updated plot, the little couple wanted to make out, but the mother-in-law came out to drink water. This is a typical feeling of housing crampedness. In fact, if the female third is changed to the female one, this "Lady's Character" may be more grounded, more good-looking, and the reputation will be better.

For TV series on fertility topics, we should really be more sincere, face the problems that need to be faced in childbirth, especially the problems of the economic environment, and explain this problem clearly, it will become a purely realistic TV series work, and it will become a blockbuster drama.
