The bloody Beijing-flavored period drama "Nine Bends of Love" has ended, and the audience finally has a new drama to chase! Tomorrow night, a new Beijing-style drama "Wishful Thinking" will succeed "Love Full of Nine Bends" and premiere on CCTV!
"Wishful Thinking" is a Beijing-style emotional drama starring Mao Xiaotong, Zhang Li, Li Zefeng, Wang Ziyi special starring, Zhang Kaili, Sun Song friendship, Jin Jia, Yu Jinze, Ning Xin, Peng Bo, etc.
01 Introduction to the actors, characters and plot of "Wishful Thinking"
The play tells the story of an emotional life that occurs in Beijing's Xiaoman Hutong. The time span is 10 years. The protagonists are two sisters.
Sister Sun Xin (played by Zhang Li), beautiful and generous, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, pursuing freedom and hard work, and getting popular in Internet companies.
Younger sister Sun Xiang (played by Mao Xiaotong), simple and kind, optimistic and casual, easy to satisfy, enjoy the moment. Sun Xiang likes food, is a food blogger, and lives happily and tastefully.
Judging from the teaser poster, Sun Xiang's official match is Yu Fei (played by Wang Ziyi).
Mao Xiaotong is 8 years older than Wang Ziyi, this is to engage in "sister-brother love" in the play?
Before Wang Ziyi, he had partnered with Qin Lan and Jin Chen to perform sibling love, it seems that he is going to take the professional route of "sister-brother love".
In other words, the prince's appearance and acting skills are slightly ordinary, but for Mao Xiaotong, he is still looking forward to it.
Sun Xin's official partner in the play is Chu Xiaoyu (played by Li Zefeng).
Li Zefeng previously relied on his cheating husband in "Thirty Only" to catch fire, his eyes and appearance are quite handsome, but the whole temperament is relatively gloomy, and he always feels more suitable for playing negative roles, haha.
I hope he can convince me with his acting skills this time, and he can also play positive roles.
I write like this, is it that everyone is not looking forward to this drama.
Don't worry, the advantages are usually put to the back burner.
There is also a pair of CPs in the play, but it is very interesting.
That is the first generation of screen couples in domestic dramas: Liu Huifang and Wang Husheng.
At that time, a domestic drama "Longing" caused a sensational drama viewing boom in empty alleys, and it is said that at that time, even the crime rate was greatly reduced.
Zhang Kaili, who plays the heroine Liu Huifang, also became popular with this drama.
And the actor Sun Song, who played Liu Huifang's husband Wang Husheng, was scolded by everyone because of Wang Husheng's selfishness, indifference, and affection in the play.
After 30 years, "Huifang" and "Husheng" once again formed a screen CP, playing the parents of Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Li in "Wishful Thinking".
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Kaili's mother played in "Wishful Thinking" is named Li Huilan. Li Huilan, Liu Huifang, the screenwriter's name, is it a tribute to "Longing"?
"Wishful Wishes" is also known as the sister chapter of "Empty Mirror", because the literary director of the play is the screenwriter of "Empty Mirror" and the famous Chinese writer Wan Fang (her father is the famous playwright Cao Yu, representative of the play "Thunderstorm").
Audiences above the 80s should have a good impression of the TV series "Empty Mirror" broadcast in 2002.
"Empty Mirror" starring Tao Hong, Niu Li, Jiang Wu, Xu Yajun, He Bing, Liu Guanjun, tells the story of two sisters.
Among them, sister Sun Li, played by actor Niu Li. Younger sister Sun Yan, played by actor Tao Hong.
This drama was very popular when it was broadcast that year, and the popularity and discussion were very high.
The audience likes Sun Yan played by Tao Hong very much, kind and generous, silly and happy all day, very cute, not as selfish as her sister.
The new drama "Wishful Thinking" is also the story of two sisters. And also surnamed Sun.
02 The characteristics and advantages of "Wishful Thinking": Based on the perspective of ordinary people, show the warm little days of Beijing people
How will the lives of two sisters in 20 years be different from 20 years ago?
The imprint of the times will inevitably be imprinted on everyone.
In "Empty Mirror", my sister worked as a travel agency, which was a very fashionable profession at that time.
In "Wishful Thinking", my sister is engaged in the Internet profession, which is a new career that many young people are engaged in or will choose today.
In "Empty Mirror", her sister Sun Yan works to sell meal tickets in the factory canteen.
Now, I'm afraid it's hard to find a TV series with such an ordinary profession as the heroine's profession.
And in the new drama "Wishful Thinking", her younger sister Sun Xiang is engaged in the profession of a food blogger. This is also one of the emerging professions now.
This comparison before and after, it feels quite interesting, from which we can see the progress of the times and the changes in young people's career choices.
Compared with the just-finished "Nine Bends of Love", "Wishful Thinking" was filmed on the spot in a real Beijing hutong, rather than a prop shed built in the later stage.
In this way, the audience can better feel the fireworks of the old Beijing hutongs and have a more warm sense of real life.
It can be seen from the title of the play "Wishful Thinking" that the play takes an ordinary and warm civilian route.
The protagonists in the play do not have particularly lofty professions, and their lives are also ordinary and simple, and what they show and depict are also ordinary love, friendship and family affection in ordinary family life, as well as those subtle joys and troubles.
In domestic dramas, dramas from the perspective of civilians have always been scarce, and I hope that this new drama "Wishful Thinking" can really get close to the people, go deep into life, and tell the stories of ordinary people.
Don't make the whole plot of those bloody dogs, and don't play some floating elite rich and noble horse grabbing, just show the homely warmth of ordinary people in Beijing, daily troubles, tell a small story of small people, we audiences, love to watch!
"Wishful Thinking" premiered at 7:30 on March 9 (tomorrow night) on CCTV's eight sets of prime time.
At that time, the TV series "Empty Mirror" became a hit on the screen as soon as it was broadcast, and even set a record for the highest TV series ratings in Beijing, and won awards many times.
So, can this sister drama "Wishful Thinking", which is still produced by the famous screenwriter Wan Fang, detonate the screen again?
For the quality of Wan Fang and "Empty Mirror" back then, as well as the populist route of the play "writing little people", I am still full of confidence in the quality of the play!
