Is the director of "Menghualu" short of bad reviews?
Filmed this "I Heard You Like Me"!
When "Menghualu" was a big hit last year, the Douban score once rushed to 8.8, a well-deserved ceiling of ancient puppet dramas. At that time, Yi Bloomjun stated that this is the dual effect of Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao's appearance and director Yang Yang.
Yang Yang, a senior director who has been rooted in the Chinese drama circle for decades, is a great god, and she has won the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Director twice. Her famous work "Holding Hands" is a milestone in family emotional dramas, "Proof of Memory" proves that female directors can also control realistic and heavy historical dramas, and the medical industry dramas with a little humor like "Heart Technique" can also be easily used, and shooting idol dramas is a cow knife to kill chickens.
Director Yang Yang is especially good at expressing delicate and rich female emotions, and it stands to reason that she is perfect for filming "I Heard You Like Me", a flash marriage and divorce and remarriage story.
The actors were also not badly chosen, and Wang Churan and Peng Guanying were unexpectedly very CP.
In terms of appearance, Wang Churan, known as "Little Liu Yifei", is so beautiful in the play, she took a love brain + Virgin Heart character this time, it is actually not annoying, 7 points rely on appearance, 3 points rely on acting skills.
Peng Guanying, who used to always play scumbags and phoenix men in family ethics dramas, straightened up this time to play the male protagonist, and came up at once, and got the character of a cold doctor who is not close to people, he did not directly act as a poker face, and the performance of life flow is very pyrotechnic, far beyond the level of idol dramas.
What is embarrassing is the plot, which does not give the director room to play his strengths at all.
At the beginning of the story, the male and female protagonists briefly described the process of the male and female protagonists from campus love to flash marriage and divorce.
When he was in college, Ruan Liuzheng was unrequited in love with his assistant teacher brother Ning Zhiqian, and took the initiative to confess his success. After graduation, she gave up a full scholarship abroad and married Ning Zhiqian. Ning Zhiqian was confessed by Ruan Liuzheng when he was split by his fiancée, and Tianzhijiaozi's feelings were frustrated, it was Ruan Liuzheng who accompanied him out of his emotional pain, and in order to save his face, he carried the scolding of Xiaomi.
Ning Zhiqian thought that he could cultivate feelings after marriage, and he tried hard to do it, but Ruan Liuzheng still felt that Ning Zhiqian was indifferent to himself in the details of life from time to time, such as throwing away the food he cooked, saying that he was tired when he came home from work, and rarely communicated with himself.
Ruan Liuzheng tried his best to be tolerant and open-minded, but the more so, the more the unequal emotional relationship aggravated the estrangement between the two. Finally, she was crushed by the cold marriage and offered to file for divorce.
After the divorce, Ruan Liuzheng continued to study and aspired to become a better neurosurgeon than her ex-husband.
The next is the main play, six years after the divorce, the male and female protagonists reunited, working in the same hospital, the two people who have long been familiar with each other re-acquainted and understood each other at work, gradually smoothed out the pain of divorce, and successfully remarried.
As an audience, I originally expected to see a plot similar to the variety show "Goodbye Lover", how do divorced couples mend their broken relationship? Are the tangles, contradictions and confusion that once broke their marriages still exist? And how is it resolved? Choose to marry the same person again, their love must be more delicate and rich than the fiery and impulsive love of their youth.
Probably the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment... None of this is what I imagined. The screenwriter of "I Heard You Like Me" only wants to write a sadistic male and female idol drama of "chasing his wife and crematorium".
First, he opened his golden finger widely, so that after the divorce, Ning Zhiqian and Ruan Liuzheng could get along in the same department of the same hospital day and night.
Six years later, Ning Zhiqian is already the deputy director of the neurosurgery department of a large hospital, with first-class surgical skills, and the position of department head is waiting to beckon him. Ruan Liuzheng started his career after his divorce, and he was already the backbone of the business of a small hospital, and was sent to Ning Zhiqian to study in the department.
Ruan Liuzheng just wants to learn the technique well, and the teacher Ning before and after the people does not want the whole hospital to know that they are a divorced couple. Ning Zhiqian also abides by his duty, treating Ruan Liuzheng equally and strictly, sorting out cases, doing sundries, and even helping him with some personal household chores, such as running errands to pick up his children from school.
Then comes the strange plot.
Hearing that Ning Zhiqian had a son who was just six years old, Ruan Liuzheng, who had been divorced for six years, should have collapsed in his heart. The version she thought was that she took the initiative to choose to divorce, but this suddenly appeared a good child, does it mean that the other party has already cheated in marriage?
But Ruan Liuzheng did not, and the misunderstanding was quickly clarified. Ning Zhiqian's son Ning Xiang was adopted by him after picking it up in the hospital corridor, and was also sent by the screenwriter to assist them in their remarriage.
Ning wanted to see Ruan Liuzheng as soon as he turned on the automatic mother-finding mode and took the initiative to call his mother.
Next, Ruan Liuzheng had an attitude of wanting to refuse to welcome back, and because he liked children, he gradually released his previous suspicions with Ning Zhiqian, and the two got along ambiguously for several episodes like a pair of parents.
The kindergarten wants to hold a parent-child sports day, Ning wants to ask both parents to be present, Ruan Liuzheng agreed after being soft and hard foamed.
Ning wanted to celebrate her birthday, Ruan Liuzheng was temporarily told to go to Ning Zhiqian's house to celebrate her birthday, she originally promised to go home for dinner, but instead released her parents' pigeons.
Ning wanted to ask to sleep with his parents together, but Ruan Liuzheng agreed without principle, and spent the night at Ning Zhiqian's house several times to attract gossip from colleagues.
ChatGpt can't make up bad memes one after another. Even if it's an idol drama, we don't want to watch such a rotten silly white sweet.
If Ning wants to be the biological son of the two, it's just that, but now the son in the play is completely a tool pulled by the screenwriter.
The screenwriter explained in the words of a colleague in the hospital that Ning Zhiqian picked up an abandoned baby with a brain tumor in the corridor of the hospital. He operated on the child, and after recovering from the illness, he did not worry about others taking care of him and adopted it himself, and became a father and a mother to raise the child.
From a practical point of view, the probability of this happening is almost zero.
Everyone knows how heavy the work of a surgeon in his 30s, with excellent professional skills and in the process of rising career, is that he is not equipped to take care of a newborn baby in terms of time and energy.
Moreover, the origin of this child and Ning Zhiqian's personality are also contradictory. In the play, the personality conflict between Ning Zhiqian and Ruan Liuzheng at work is manifested as: a surgical robot who pursues calm restraint and strives to become an emotionless and error-free surgical robot; One is the heart of the Virgin, which also tries to give emotional comfort to those who have no hope of cure, except for medical means.
Details that don't make logical sense are selectively ignored.
In short, with Ning Xiang's strong and hard pull, the remarriage process of the male and female protagonists is much smoother, and the screenwriter is simple and easy to operate. But letting the audience watch such a corny plot is really boring, and the pictures of sharing a bed without each other are even more embarrassing to the toe.
In fact, the theme of "I Heard You Like Me" is very current, in recent years, both ancient dolls and current couples have been telling the story of "marriage first and then love", young men and women get married for various reasons without understanding each other, love each other after marriage, and finally achieve a happy life.
The wind of "marriage before love" in the TV series blows very strongly, in contrast, the divorce rate of the post-90s generation continues to rise. It is understandable that at present, young people work under pressure, have neither patience nor energy for falling in love without a certain outcome, and are willing to indulge in the storyline that comes from this fantasy. The problem is that the story only brings a false sense of refreshment, and if young people who yearn to live in idol dramas concoct the plot in reality, it is likely to be a flash marriage and divorce.
Overkill, there is a story like "I Heard You Like Me" about rebuilding marriage after flash marriage, which is not only a reflection on the current creative trend, but also a wake-up call for young people's blind impulsive view of marriage.
The theme is very good, but it is a pity that the screenwriter made it shoddy to save trouble, so that the plot was suspended in life and ruined a good theme.
