In 2016, a "Little Parting" turned out to be a new trend of Chinese family education dramas, and also established a "small series" IP. This drama not only won a number of child stars such as Zhang Zifeng, Zhao Jinmai, Hu Xianxu, etc., but also made Huang Lei and Haiqing successfully promote to the list of "Parents' Professional Households".
In 2019, Huang Lei and Haiqing once again joined hands to create brilliance with a "Little Joy", winning the double championship of Oriental Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV that year, and also pushing a number of new stars such as Zhou Qi and Li Gengxi to the audience.
The popularity of two consecutive dramas naturally makes people look forward to the "small" series. After two years, the "Small" series has finally struck again - "Little Shed".
However, this time, the main creative lineup has changed blood, and none of the original team members have starred. Even so, the quality of "Little Shed" is still guaranteed, because the new team is also a top producer.
The director of "Little Shed" is Zhang Xiaobo, the director's last work must be familiar to everyone, it is the 2020 hit drama "Thirty Only", from "Thirty Only" can be seen that Zhang Xiaobo is good at the shooting of delicate emotional plots.
In terms of actors, the newly joined Song Jia, Tong Dawei, Jiang Xin, Li Jiahang and others are also actors with high national popularity.
In addition to this group of middle-aged actors, there are also many old drama bones in the play, Zhang Guoguo, Zhu Yin, Zhu Yaying are common faces, these actors have been playing green leaves in various family dramas for many years, and seeing them has a breath of life.
Facts have also proved that "Little Shed" is indeed very capable of playing.
On the day of the premiere, the ratings of 52 cities broke through 4, ranking first in the ratings, far exceeding other programs in the same period.
In terms of network attention, "Little Shed" has defeated the high popularity of "Long Song Line", and even some netizens said: On the momentum of the premiere of "Little Shed", the ratings are expected to surpass "Little Joy"!
The reason why "Little Shed" can achieve such a great success is that although it has the credit of laying a solid foundation in the first two parts, its many highlights are the real magic weapon for victory:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" >, the opening of the family banquet, 5 minutes to catch the audience's attention</h1>
A new drama, whether it can quickly grasp the audience's heart is very important, and "Little Shedd" from the beginning of the broadcast to let people put down the remote control in their hands, it took only 5 minutes.
The plot begins with a family banquet, and Nan Li (Song Jia), who has just attended her daughter's singing performance, receives a call from her father Nan Jianguo (Zhang Guoguo) and asks her to take her child home for dinner.
In the face of her father's kind invitation, Nan Li was embarrassed, and there were many prevarications between words, which immediately made the audience feel the unusualness between father and daughter.
It turned out that Nan Li's parents divorced before he took the college entrance examination, and the reason for the divorce was that his father Nan Jianguo had cheated on him.
On the one hand, Nan Li felt very sympathetic to her father's cheating behavior, and on the other hand, she had to thank the "old boy three" for saving his life when he suffered a stroke 10 years ago, and he couldn't put his face down but couldn't let go of his heart, and could only keep in touch with his father's side lukewarmly.
Another reason why Nan Li did not want to attend the family banquet was her half-sister, Tian Yulan (Jiang Xin).
Tian Yulan and Nan Li are similar in age, because of the relationship between their parents, the relationship between the two is very delicate, in their words: they are familiar strangers, and the relationship is not much close to distant relatives.
But these two people are partial to each other, sharing the same hourly work, not to mention, Nan Li's eldest daughter Huan Huan and Tian Yulan's son Zi you are still classmates, the two also intersect with each other in work, it is really cut and messy.
And every family banquet has become an occasion for two sisters to fight openly and secretly, and the weapon in each other's hands is the child.
Nan Li and her husband Xia Junshan (Tong Dawei) advocate quality education and advocate giving children the happiest childhood.
Because the daughter attends a one-stop school of primary school and junior high school, there is no pressure to go to school, so the two believe that the all-round development of morality, intellectual, physical and aesthetic work is more important, and fully support the daughter's favorite singing and hosting interests.
Tian Yulan and Nan Li are just the opposite, only the theory of achievements, her son's extracurricular time is full of her cram classes, and there is a special display cabinet at home to place the awards won by her son in various competitions.
Two women who did not deal with each other in the first place, and have completely opposite educational concepts, the war is about to break out.
At the family banquet, Nan Jianguo let his granddaughter who had just won the singing competition perform in front of everyone, and Tian Yulan immediately asked his son to recite the last 2,000 of Pi.
Watching Tian Yulan spare no effort to show off the child, Nan Li secretly rolled her eyes wildly, full of heart.
Nan Jianguo prepared gifts for several children, and as a result, Tian Yulan found that the gifts he prepared for his son were exactly the same as the last time, and his heart was even more angry, and he was constantly looking for Nan Li's stubble at the dinner table.
Nan Li is not easy to provoke, you say a word, I returned ten sentences, said smoothly, directly insinuated that Tian Yulan's mother and daughter climbed the dragon and attached to the phoenix, it is to see the good conditions of their own family before trying their best to marry into this family.
A meal is eaten chicken flying dog jump, not happy and scattered, but alone happy the audience, after all, this tit-for-tat, dark tide of the plot who does not love?
However, a family banquet has actually spread all the themes of the whole play in front of the audience - complex family relationships, contradictory children's education.
And these two points are the pain points that all families are likely to face, so it can be said that such a start hit is immediately caught the audience's attention.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > two or two episodes of contradiction intensified, telling a lot of social pain points</h1>
In the second and third episodes, a thorough exam pushes the story to the first small climax.
Neither Nan Li nor Tian Yulan were winners in this exam, and Nan Li found that her daughter Huan Huan (Liu Chutian) was at the bottom of the class.
Although Tian Yulan's son Yan Ziyou (Takezawa Jinxi) took the 4th place in the class, this was his rare fall out of the top three, which made Tian Yulan feel a great sense of crisis.
After studying the test questions, Tian Yulan felt that the test questions were beyond the outline, and his son could not go to the Olympic number class, but several students in the class successfully gave answers.
After a series of investigations, she found that the math teacher privately held a tutoring class, which suspected that the teacher had reservations in the classroom in order to seek private interests, and began to plan a "forced palace" drama.
Nan Li also felt the difference in her daughter's grades for the first time, and found that only 4 people in the class did not apply for the tutoring class after class, and one of them was his daughter.
To this end, Nan Li and Xia Junshan specially took Huan Huan to investigate the tutoring classes, and the intensity of these tutoring classes was extremely high, occupying almost all the time of the students' spare time.
After the two of them thought about it, they still decided to give their children a happy childhood.
This episode can say a lot of social pain points, especially the topic of "reducing the burden on children is to put pressure on parents", I believe it can resonate with many parents.
The quality education implemented today, the starting point is good, but it is impossible to unify the pace of all people, some parents are willing to follow the call, to give their children a happy childhood, but other children are still in several cram classes a week, waiting for the results, it is estimated that few parents can sit like Nan Li, all have to incarnate "Tian Yulan".
The description of the plot of the teacher privately opening a tutoring class, and the parents in the group are pregnant with ghost fetuses can also be said to be very realistic, which is probably the reason why this drama can be fired.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > three, three generations of actors with real acting skills</h1>
The reason why "Little Shedd" is good, in addition to the attractive plot, but also to praise the acting skills of the actors.
Needless to say, the skills of Zhang Guoguo, Zhu Yin and other drama bones, although Song Jia, Jiang Xin, and Li Jiahang do not take this type of drama, the degree of completion is also very high.
Here Tomato Jun wants to highlight Jiang Xin, Tian Yulan's character is not pleasing, stubborn, impulsive, and small, but because of Jiang Xin's interpretation, this role has become the most vivid and brilliant one in the play, quite like the moment she "revitalized" the big villain Huafei.
As the "small" series with the strongest ability to create child stars, "Xiao Shede" has undoubtedly let everyone see a new batch of small actors this time, especially the small drama bone Liu Chutian, who is a small actor who has played "The Legend of Mi Yue" and "Know It or Not", and his acting skills are also rising.
The most important thing about family dramas is to be really grounded, and in this regard, the performance of the actors in "Little Shed" is no worse than the other two.
In fact, the three "small" series have exploded one after another, and the main reason is that everyone is in "educational anxiety".
From the study abroad of "Little Parting", to the college entrance examination army of "Little Joy", to the beginning of the small ascension of "Little Shed", these problems are the tests that every parent and child will experience.
Although modern society has more choices, there are also ways out of being Internet celebrities, anchors, and games, but this is a small probability event after all; for ordinary people, the college entrance examination is still the only way out, which leads to parents at every intersection of their children's lives.
Contemporary education is not only a test for children, but also for parents. When watching such dramas, parents can get empathy and find comfort, which is also an important reason for the high ratings of such dramas.
I wonder if your family has ever worried about your child's examination? Welcome to share your experience.
