The whole country mourned Liu Huifang, and the whole country scolded Wang Husheng.
Such a widely circulated sentence comes from the national hit drama "Longing" in the 90s.
In the play, the heroine Liu Huifang impressed the audience with her simple kindness and gentleness and virtuousness, and was named the nickname of the national daughter-in-law.
But in the play, this good daughter-in-law is not entrusted to people.
Her husband Wang Husheng is a scumbag who has always abandoned him, and his behavior of cheating feelings again and again makes the audience angry.
And with the popularity of "Longing", Liu Huifang and Wang Husheng also became the first national CP in the history of domestic film and television in a way of being scolded and praised.
Now, 33 years after the broadcast of "Longing", CCTV has reorganized the pair of CPs in another way.
A new CCTV drama that starts tonight (3-9), Liu Huifang played by Zhang Kaili and scumbag Wang Husheng played Sun Song, cooperated again in the play.
In this work, they re-act husband and wife after more than thirty years.
And this time, the character's feelings are not only quite loving, but the two are also surrounded by two daughters.
This work is a family drama that landed on CCTV prime time tonight:
"Wishful Wishes"
And combined with the lineup team and trailer information, Qingshi believes that CCTV has caught another hit this time.
Where is the potential "breaking point" of this show? Let me take my time.
The restructuring of the CP of "Longing" is not only for feelings.
The joining of the two old drama bones is also to make a play for the female advocates Li and Mao Xiaotong, who play their daughter, and pave a set of sister flower plot lines.
The main plot line will also revolve around the life trajectories of these two daughters.
And this "double heroine sister" setting is clearly taken from another classic Chinese drama IP.
According to the official introduction, the play is a sister to the Golden Eagle Award-winning drama "Empty Mirror" at the beginning of the century.
This work, which began broadcasting in 2002, begins with the love life of a pair of sisters in a family in Beijing.
The sister Sun Li played by Niu Li is beautiful and outstanding, and she enjoys the vanity of being held by the stars with countless suitors.
The younger sister Sun Yan played by Tao Hong is a simple girl next door, although she is sunny by nature, she is always under the aura of her sister and has some inferiority to herself.
Through the sisters' different choices of love and marriage, "Empty Mirror" mirrors the thinking about young people's love choices with a simple and natural painting style.
This well-textured double heroine life drama has also received praise with life-oriented tentacles, and still has a high score of 8.5 points.
The upcoming "Wishful Thinking" is closely related to "Empty Mirror";
First, the core of the plot is similar;
Similar to "Empty Mirror", "Wishful Thinking" also revolves around the life of a pair of young sisters in the old Beijing city.
The sisters also differ in character and values.
Sister Sun Xin (played by Zhang Li) is Gao Leng Feng;
Judging from the trailer, she looks beautiful and has an urban beauty posture, and the painting style of women in the workplace is very distinct.
And the little sister Sun Xiang (played by Mao Xiaotong) is sweet wind.
That playful smile makes the character's sunny and kind attributes instantly revealed.
The combination of cold and hot flowers of the Sun family sisters is also quite similar to Niu Li Taohong's sister group in "Empty Mirror".
Secondly, it is the generational inheritance of creators;
What makes people more convinced of the promotion of the sister chapter is the screenwriting team of the two works.
Su Peng, the screenwriter of this "Wishful Work", is the son of Wan Fang, the screenwriter of "Empty Mirror" 20 years ago.
As early as last year, Su Peng was nominated for the Feitian Award for screenwriting with "Ideals Shining on China", and his screenwriting skills were recognized.
This time, he took over his mother's pen to continue writing "Sister Flower Story", and the quality is still worth looking forward to.
On the other hand, Wan Fang, the author of "Empty Mirror", also participated in the play as the literary director and checked the script.
From the perspective of creation, the cooperation of Wanfang mother and son is a good story in the industry.
On the basis of inheriting the core, this new drama also has its own new ideas.
Judging from the plot synopsis, "Wishful Thinking" is a different era story from "Empty Mirror".
Under the transformation of time and space, the two heroines think about problems from different angles.
The background of "Empty Mirror" is set in the 90s, when the screenwriters relied more on the background of the times, reflecting the thinking of emotional marriage, and the emotional line was the main drama in the absolute sense.
The timeline of "Wishful Thinking" is scheduled for 2015, in addition to the love life of the sisters, the screenwriter shows the enthusiasm of the 80s and 90s generation more comprehensively.
In the play, the sister flower has a clear career plan.
Sister Sun Xin is an Internet white-collar worker, while younger sister Sun Xiang is a food UP master.
The efforts of the two on different tracks are also the epitome of the efforts of the contemporary post-80s and 90s.
Applying the core of "Empty Mirror", but shooting a new era atmosphere, this "Wishful Thinking" has a feeling of replacing old bottles with new wine.
02. The lineup is reasonable, and the six leading actors have a high degree of matching in their painting styles
After talking about the plot, it's time to talk about the cast.
From the perspective of traffic, the "star flavor" of this "Wishful Thinking" is not enough.
But in Bluestone's eyes, this is a highly matched starring team.
The six leading actors currently announced can be said to be very suitable for their respective roles.
Let's talk about it one by one.
The first and second, the Sun family sisters played Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Li.
Mao Xiaotong plays the sweet sister Sun Xiang;
She has shown her sweet image in many Chinese dramas, and this time she continues to have a similar painting style.
In the play, this sister is always optimistic about life, and the smile in her eyes can never be hidden.
Throughout the trailer, Mao Xiaotong's cute and playful painting style is also unforgettable.
The movement is all flexible, and the full girlish feeling comes to the face.
actor Zhang Li plays Gao Leng's sister Sun Xin;
After entering the entertainment industry for many years, Zhang Li has always been the representative of Gao Leng's royal sister.
In the movie "Heart Flower Road Fang", the long-legged high-cold goddess she guest starred in is impressive.
In recent years, in variety shows such as "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Zhang Li's beautiful and sassy painting style is also very distinct.
And in this new drama, Zhang Li is still in the royal sister drama road.
In the play, she is still the royal sister Fan with long flowing hair.
No need for too many lines, to that station, the beautiful and sassy Fan came again.
In this way, this sister's matching degree is also very high.
the third and fourth places, the turn of the first national CP - Zhang Kaili and Sun Song;
The couple, who co-starred in the old drama of the couple 33 years ago, played the parents of the Sun family this time.
Zhang Kaili, the former national daughter-in-law, has often played the protagonist's mother in Chinese dramas in recent years, and gradually sat on the title of national mother.
Compared with the young daughter-in-law's drama, Zhang Kaili's painting style has changed a lot this time, and this time she will play a wife with a strong personality.
And Sun Song, an old drama bone who has not appeared for a long time, plays a good gentleman at home.
From the trailer, the contrast between the husband doing housework and his wife Zhang Kaili leisurely drinking tea is very sharp.
It is self-evident who has the final say in this family.
Obviously, 33 years ago, "Liu Huifang" suffered grievances, this time Zhang Kaili took it back with a thousand benefits.
Thinking of the "longing for CP" of the past to return with a reverse painting style, there is a point of view.
The fifth and sixth are the two male characters who have an emotional relationship with the Sun family sisters.
And the two corresponding male actors also passed the test in terms of appearance.
"Candidate Brother-in-law" is played by actor Li Zefeng;
Having appeared in urban dramas such as "Thirty Only", he often appears in a steady and mature painting style.
And this time he played with his royal sister Zhang Li, and the painting style was also quite matched.
"Candidate Brother-in-law" is played by young actor Wang Ziyi, who is full of vitality and Mao Xiaotong's sunshine and cuteness, which is also quite eye-catching.
On the whole, the above 6 actors are very well matched with the characters, and the entire lineup is still worth looking forward to.
03, the theme is three-in-one, combined with the explosive password of the national drama?
In Bluestone's view, the play has a big idea in terms of subject orientation.
In this drama, the director seems to have the ambition to make three types of dramas.
Operation 1, touch the new trend of Chinese drama from "her perspective";
In recent years, many Chinese dramas have strengthened the proportion of heroines as the protagonists.
Many dramas with women as the first protagonists have received praise for showing the styles of women in different eras.
Just taking the past year as an example, there are many typical examples.
There is a heroine who fights for career, in dramas such as "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Half Summer Blowing in the Wind", Zhao Liying interprets the posture of an independent strong woman in the era.
There are fancy heroines who talk about love, and in "Love is Delicious", the three heroines played by Zhang Hanyun, Li Chun and Wang Ju are honing the concept of love of urban women in the continuous collision of love.
In some suspense dramas that are often dominated by men, there is also a heroine-led figure.
In the Chinese drama "The Beginning", Li Shiqing, a female college student played by Zhao Jinmai, became the initiator of the Time Loop Bureau.
Following her perspective, the audience is also immersed in an infinite loop plot.
And "Wishful Thinking" continues this "her perspective" setting.
Through the core of the two heroines, the play tells the story of two different life trajectories of sisters.
With the career and feelings of the two protagonists of one cold and one hot, the play shows the life perception of ordinary women in different painting styles.
Compared with previous Chinese dramas that "tool people" female characters, such works from her perspective are indeed eye-catching.
Operation 2, carry forward the tradition of "old Beijing theme";
In domestic film and television works, the old Beijing hutong culture is definitely the favorite of many creators.
From Jiang Wen's film "Sunny Day" to Feng Xiaogang's film "Big Shot" and other works, the authentic Beijing accent accompanied by the free old Beijing culture makes people feel the unique charm of the city.
In the field of Chinese drama, works full of Beijing flavor are also everywhere.
At the beginning of the new century, Liang Guanhua's "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin" showed us the most real painting style of Beijing small citizens with a poor mouth with a bad style.
Last year, "Zhang Weiguo's Summer" starring Huang Lei and Liu Yijun also won praise for its old Beijing hutong painting style and once won the multi-day ratings championship.
And this "Wishful Wishes" did not let go of this popular theme of Chinese dramas.
In order to restore the most authentic old Beijing culture, the crew has made great efforts.
During the filming, Wang Zi and other non-Beijing actors were arranged to experience life in Beijing hutongs in order to better enter the play.
On the set, the director team also played an involution operation.
Before filming, they directly rebuilt a courtyard in the film and television base, plus repaired the street scene and other operations, and it took 3 months to complete the battle.
When Sun Songjin, an old actor from Beijing, filmed, he exclaimed that the courtyard was extremely restored, as if living at home.
This series of efforts is also intuitively reflected in the full Beijing flavor in the trailer.
From the hutong scenery to various Beijing-style gadgets, as well as the Beijing-style pronunciation of the characters, it is quite intimate to listen to.
Operation 3 is to stand firm on the chassis of the family drama;
In the field of Chinese dramas, family dramas are a theme that cannot be tired of filming.
This theme, there are too many directions that can be shot.
In the early years, there were works such as "Longing", which evoked the discussion of marriage among countless people, and "I Love My Home" and "Family with Children" with warmth in the midst of the noise.
In recent years, "The World", which shows the changes of the family throughout the timeline, and "It's Good", which piles up trivial matters in parents, have also brought us touches about home with different painting styles.
The reason why these family dramas have become blockbusters is simple, the plot allows us to see more or less the shadow of getting along with our families.
As long as the shooting is real enough and the shooting is flavorful enough, such a drama will always make people not tired of watching.
And from the point of view, the atmosphere of home in this "Wishful Thinking" is also very full.
Or, the family flavor hidden in the daily relationship.
There is no need for various external broadcasts to express love, a few short words of life dialogue can be felt.
For example, the sisters' natural response to "eating" makes people sound very kind.
Or, the family flavor hidden behind the family's reaction.
In the trailer, whether it is the mother played by Zhang Kaili who is angry, or the sisters who are aggrieved and tearful, they all clearly show the friction between the families.
And behind this friction, there is also the bond that the family cares about each other.
Constantly running in the stumbling, sweetness, tears, this is the true meaning of family life.
From the point of view, this drama does have the feeling of being filmed at home.
From the above advantages, one by one the explosive passwords are being read by the show.
From the current point of view, the quality of the series can only remain our guess.
But judging from CCTV's prime-time position for "Wishful Thinking" this time, the central mother who "watched the film in advance" is obviously very confident in the quality of the show.
Combined with the good hit rate of the CCTV platform, and also combined with the trailer to reveal the texture, this time, I choose to continue to believe in CCTV's vision!
I believe that this "Wishful Thinking" hopes to become this month's blockbuster.
