Happy Women's Day!
In 2023, the topic of justifying the name of "38 Women's Day" has finally appeared on the hot search.
Netizens began to discuss the gimmicks and potential subsidiary colors of the commercial packaging of titles such as "Goddess Day" and "Girls' Day", hoping to return to women themselves and regain the original definition of the holiday.
Seeing that the issues that had been discussed were taken seriously, Seven Words was really happy, but at the same time he felt sorry and helpless, because this topic was taken seriously, almost fermented with a rice circle quarrel.
In the Internet age of information explosion, it seems that quarrels are always easier to value than rational discussion, but it is also easier to sharpen contradictions, and in the face of this situation, we can only rejoice that quarrels are at least better than ignoring the continuation of problems.
Of course, in addition to discussion and controversy on the Internet, there are also festival-exclusive film and television memories, and it is also the time to take stock of big heroine dramas every year, and in this festival, there will always be a variety of independent female group portraits on the screen.
Or rather, the big heroine character.
Of course, this "big heroine" is not necessarily the protagonist of a film and television work, it does not have to be enough scenes, sometimes, as long as the character can firm his pursuit, his life is worth the trip, he is the big heroine of his own life.
For this definition, in addition to the realistic role, the best "big heroine" character in the heart of Seven Episodes is not the explosive big heroine, but the female character Lin Xi in "The Wind of the Langya List".
As we all know, the "Langya List" series of TV series takes power and court as the core, and focuses on men's dramas, but most of the female images in this series can afford the title of a big heroine, especially Lin Xi.
She is one of the rare women in domestic dramas who have a firm life goal and work hard for it, soberly moving forward.
The drama chasers should all have a feeling that our domestic dramas rely very much on emotional elements in the shaping of female images, and once created the inherent impression of a big heroine drama = a love drama, and the love brain content is extremely high.
This has led to many audiences who do not want to watch love dramas to have a rebellious psychology against female characters, and even some netizens use "no heroine" to judge whether some works are worth chasing, because no heroine = no bloody love.
Even if the once popular big female theme, objectively speaking, love in most dramas accounts for no less than 90% of the hostess's life, and it is not until the past two years that career-oriented or realistic heroines have begun to appear, and love is relatively weakened.
It is not an exaggeration to say that without love, many domestic drama heroines will be eclipsed, because their lives, there are almost no other colors, whether they are the real heroines or love spokespersons, everyone has their own judgment.
But without love, Lin Xi is still Lin Xi, an admirable woman.
Seeing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, tasting the herbs of the world, and contributing his life to the medicine he loves is Lin Xi's life ideal, so he not only studied medical skills since he was a child, but also personally understood and collected various medicinal habits.
Being able to dedicate herself to the treatment of the people of a city, and climbing the mountain alone for the initial form of an herb, the audience can see the benevolence of the healer from her, and can also see the courage and dedication of the medical student.
However, there are many components of human life, and Lin Xi is no exception.
She was also endowed with the emotional elements preferred by domestic dramas, and had a good impression of the young hero Xiao Pingjing, and she sparked love while fighting side by side, without the shackles of her parents' lives, and still continued the fate of her father's generation.
When a loved one is in danger, Lin Xi will not hesitate to do his best to protect the other party.
But when love is frustrated, Lin Xi will move forward with regret, not destroy herself, and between love and ideals, she will not let herself choose to compromise for love and change her life goals.
The good impression of Xiao Pingjing, the heartbeat generated by love, can not stop Lin Xi's life goal of walking all over the mountains and rivers and tasting all the herbs, love can be a beautiful accident that she did not foresee in advance, but the life goal has long been firm and clear.
The most powerful scene of the character appears when she and her lover Xiao Pingjing's life goals have a temporary conflict, one wants to go to the mountains and rivers for medicine, and the other wants to save the imperial crisis for the mountains and rivers.
Xiao Pingjing inherits Changlin's will, even if he is expelled from the court, once the family and country are in trouble, he will still stand up, if love is only rational, then the other half suitable for Xiao Pingjing may be a woman like Minglan in "Know No".
A "virtuous helper" who can face the court side by side with his lover, and can help his lover solve his rear scruples.
And the most suitable for Lin Xi's other half, perhaps the same aspiration as her, there is no complicated responsibility, just for the sake of hanging pots, can accompany Lin Xi to travel far away like-minded "good partner".
Unfortunately, feelings can never find the object of their hearts according to absolute reason.
If Xiao Pingjing and Lin Xi want to stay by each other's side all the time, one party must choose to change, just like many couples who give up their ideals for love, ideals always seem to give way to great love.
But Xiao Pingjing will not give up the family and country responsibility engraved in her bones, Lin Xi does not want him to change for herself, and at the same time, she firmly refuses to change the direction of her life because of the other party's life goals.
When love encounters obstacles, it can be solved hard, it can be temporarily postponed, but it cannot fill the problem by giving up and changing life goals, because in that way, our life, in addition to love, will lose other meaning.
"My heart will always wait for you, but my steps will not stop because I am waiting for you."
This is a very classic line of Lin Xi.
She broke the hostess who set up the routine of love first, not only the sincerity and purity of the character's view of love, but also presented her firm and sober direction of life, I love you, but love will never be my everything.
When I was a child, I wondered why one of the protagonists often got the opportunity to go abroad or go to a different place for further study, or applied for a university in a different city, and the male and female protagonists would be abused to death.
In the end, the protagonist often gives up the opportunity for love/chooses the same city, it seems that as long as they don't give up their original choice for love, their love is not great enough, and they don't really love each other.
Why? Isn't their love pure? Try to be yourself, cherish your life, and there should be no apologies.
What's more outrageous is that some plots only set a one-year period of further study, and some plots are even just simple expatriate work, which will deteriorate in a different place in a year, and this love itself may not be very strong.
Some TV series show the heroine's "sincerity" in a more exaggerated way.
In a sweet pet online drama, the screenwriter arranged for the heroine who was bloody and originally loved sports to choose medicine for love, and her physical conditions and personal preferences were contrary to this choice, purely supported by the power of love.
Originally, the seven episodes thought that the direction of the story would be that the heroine found out that she had made a wrong choice, regained her life goals, and gained the support and respect of the male protagonist, but the plot direction ended with love allowing the heroine to overcome the difficulty of studying medicine.
Is this true love? Maybe for some people, but this kind of true love does not make people love the beauty of love, only see a girl who is wrapped up in love and loses herself, which is actually very sad.
Love comes from the heart, life, should also move forward with value, seven words do not exclude the choice of making some changes for love, because everyone's life goals are different, love and marriage in reality, indeed need a lot of complex running-in.
However, we should not blindly advocate sacrifice for love, let alone define women as the protagonists of romantic dramas.
A real big heroine, varied.
One of them, perhaps, like Lin Xi, has a clear life goal, can get out of the state of being wrapped up in life without purpose, and dare to strive for self-worth and ideals, rather than hesitating.
The world is big, life is short, we don't need to spend time for others, let alone be bound by "what should be done", all efforts, we must first do a good job of ourselves, walk in the world, at least worth the trip.
