"Ordinary Road": The growth of a "rookie" in the workplace, Guo Qilin plays myself

"Ordinary Road" is my favorite song, it sings the journey of almost all ordinary people from youth to middle age. Every time the music melody of "wandering, on the road" together, Mr. Pu Shu's voice entered my ears, and my emotions fluctuated. Although the TV series "Ordinary Road" is a lawyer industry drama, in terms of the main theme, it echoes the song "Ordinary Road", which tells the confusion and growth, setbacks and persistence of several workplace "rookies".

However, I started out with "Ordinary Road" as a workplace sitcom.

Pan Yan played by Guo Qilin is the funny person in the play, he is a "master of labor", talking like a crosstalk, a mouthful of Beijing films, making poor and spitting, witty words. For example, on the first day of going to work, he and his mother discussed the hard-won work in the car, and his mother said that those companies that did not look at him were blind, and Pan Yan complained to his mother: "You take a good look at your son, how can he have so much confidence." ”

This kind of self-deprecating spit is both everyday and witty.

Soon after joining the company, Pan Yan relied on his talents, armed with guns and sticks, and insinuated sarcasm about Liao Songting, the "traitor" who came to his door to get customer information and tried to suppress him with his academic qualifications. In a very humorous tone, he ridiculed Liao Songting for "betraying" Rong Ke, and gave a bad breath for co-founder Du Feiyu.

From the funny thing, the character of Pan Yan is almost tailored for Guo Qilin, his joyful image, just the right language rhythm, and humorous lines make the relaxed atmosphere of the series continue, and also give the protagonist Pan Yan a unique attraction.

In addition to the texture of light comedy, the character shaping of "Ordinary Road" is also very distinct. The story revolves around two newcomers in the workplace with great contrast, one is Pan Yan played by Guo Qilin, and the other is Shu Yinan played by Yan Zidong.

The contrast between Pan Yan and Shu Yinan is extremely strong in all aspects.

Pan Yan is extremely ordinary, his family is ordinary, his mother drives an online car, and his father owes a debt. Graduated from an ordinary undergraduate school, it is difficult to hit a wall everywhere to find a job, and more than 200 resumes are thrown into the sea. He wandered into the big city, rented a cramped rental house, slept in bunk beds with his mother, had a mediocre financial situation, and didn't even have a decent suit during interviews.

Pan Yan can work in Rongke, or his girlfriend asked his cousin Zuo Na to help.

Pan Yan's character setting is very real and grounded, and he is the epitome of many people who have come to big cities from small cities to struggle. He started from a low start, but he was full of enthusiasm and dreams, but also because of his low starting point, he repeatedly hit a wall in his work and life.

At work, Pan Yan is not only difficult to find a job, but also faces the risk of being replaced at any time. When he urgently needed to hire someone, Lawyer Du hired him happily, but when there was a better candidate and Shu Yinan appeared, Lawyer Du tried in every possible way to fire him, and the excuse was that he did not wear a suit as required. Even if Pan Yan actually just helped Zuo Na stabilize the old customers, it can be regarded as a meritorious contribution as soon as he entered the company, but the boss does not care about this, the boss considers who is more cost-effective and more beneficial to himself.

In life, Pan Yan also faced setbacks, and when he met his girlfriend's parents for the first time, his father-in-law talked to him secretly, and he was disgusted in and out. After all, as a young man with no roots, just out of society to join the work, there is really nothing.

Emotionally, Pan Yan was almost broken up by his girlfriend Dong Jiaojiao, because Dong Jiaojiao's grandmother was seriously ill, and she returned to the small city with her parents and suffered great mental and economic pressure. But Pan Yan, who has just entered the workplace and has no economic foundation, cannot help substantially.

As a small village writer in Beipiao, I resonate very much when I watch the role of Pan Yan. I've experienced his performance in interviews, difficulties in finding a job, and setbacks in life and relationships, and it's very similar to his. Even his slovenly appearance during interviews and the look of trying to give a seemingly perfect but clumsy answer when asked why he is in the legal profession are so familiar.

Yan Zidong played by Shu Yinan is the opposite, he is a rich second generation, a wealthy family, living in a large and comfortable flat floor, graduated from a famous foreign school, has a proud resume, and has many opportunities after returning to China, but he himself pushed off a lot of offers and chose Huanjing.

Shu Yinan is a person who is well protected by his parents and an idealist, he believes that to work hard in the workplace, you must rely on yourself, not on relationships. To be a lawyer, you should do justice, not treat handling cases as a business. This was the main factor behind his departure from Huanjing for Rongke.

As newcomers in the workplace, the advantages and shortcomings of Pan Yan and Shu Yinan are also very obvious.

Pan Yan's disadvantage is that his education is average and his theoretical knowledge may not be so solid, but his advantage is that he is smart, flexible, has rich life experience, and is also proficient in human affairs. Many of the problems he encounters in the workplace are actually solved by his own life experience and experience.

During the interview, he was hired because he had fought a lawsuit, and this lawsuit was fought for his mother. It was originally an unfortunate experience, but it also accumulated experience for him.

When competing with Liao Songting for old customer Lu Shuangjian, he also relied on his mother's life experience in driving online ride-hailing to help Lu Shuangjian deal with his son's deception, to some extent, Lu Shuangjian recognized Rongke's service ability more, and then contributed to retaining Lu Shuangjian.

When dealing with Zhang Rumei's divorce case, Pan Yan can be said to be a great hero, Zhang Rumei's husband asked for a divorce as soon as possible, and Zhang Rumei herself was not willing to divorce. Lawyer Du Feiyu and Shu Yinan both advocated suing for divorce, but Pan Yan advocated mediation in court, and he believed that a good lawyer should not let his client go to court.

In order to persuade Zhang Rumei to agree to divorce, Pan Yan can be said to have done everything he could, blocking the door every day and pouring all kinds of emotional chicken soup into Zhang Rumei, but he also really cares about Zhang Rumei's condition, such as not being able to get through to her, worrying that she will commit suicide, and going to her house with his mother in the middle of the night to see what happened. Finally, together with lawyer Du, she persuaded Zhang Rumei's husband to interview Zhang Rumei in person, thus satisfying Zhang Rumei's demands and making her willingly divorce.

Pan Yan showed his conscience as a lawyer, as well as his sincerity and respect for people, and his efforts made this unhappy marriage end gracefully.

Pan Yan may not be as strict as Zuo Na in terms of legal provisions, and may not be as beautiful as Shu Yinan in his resume, but he has a naked heart, he has valuable life experience, understands human feelings, understands human nature, this is his killer skill. It can be said that on the road of lawyers, Pan Yan is a practical party of the "wild road".

And Shu Yinan's killer feature is his deep legal knowledge, and when handling Zhang Rumei's case, he strongly advocated that Zhang Rumei divorce through appeal and follow normal procedures. Maybe he can succeed in the end, but it will solve this divorce case very ugly.

Shu Yinan is considered an "academic", although he is proficient in legal procedures and provisions, but he does not understand human feelings, which is not only reflected in work, but also in getting along with colleagues, he has received an elite education from the West, but unfortunately he is a little unconvinced in China.

Because Pan Yan and Shu Yinan have their own shortcomings, their growth must also revolve around making up for their shortcomings. After Zhang Rumei's case, Pan Yan became a "war-damaged man", involved in the storm of online public opinion, framed by secretly filming maniacs and stirring up troubles by self-media people, and encountered online violence.

This incident was actually an opportunity for Pan Yan and Shu Yinan to grow up, Pan Yan experienced the collapse of faith, self-doubt, and confusion in the storm of public opinion, and finally still firmly believed that he was right to insist on justice. In the process of experiencing this storm, he also realized the importance of being proficient in the letter of the law and having the necessary evidence.

In the process of helping Pan Yan get rid of online violence, Shu Yinan actually played a big role, he used his advantage of being good at reasoning, and said that Xiaoou, who had been sexually harassed, to testify, proving that the secretly filmed and sexually harassed her, clearing Pan Yan's grievances.

In this turmoil, the relationship between Shu Yinan and Pan Yan is getting closer and closer, and he finally realized the problem of his unsatisfactory water and soil, and decided to change it little by little.

As a result, the characters grow. As Du Feiyu said, "People teach people to do things, it is better to teach people to do things", whether for Pan Yan or Shu Yinan. And how they can play their strengths in one case after another, and make up for their shortcomings to become better people, is also the next point to watch.

The two contrasting character settings of Pan Yan and Shu Yinan also add a lot of laughter to the series. For example, when Shu Yinan had a meeting, everyone ran away, Pan Yan walked in, looked at it, and said to him, "You continue." How can no one continue? Die laughing!

For another example, Pan Yan wanted to invite Zuo Na and Shu Yinan to dinner, Shu Yinan said in English that he wanted avocado salad and Benedict eggs, and Benedict eggs Pan Yan couldn't understand and asked several times.

And Shu Yinan asked Pan Yan to correct his habit of mixing English in his Chinese, and as soon as he finished speaking, he habitually mixed English, and Pan Yan beat him up. The relationship between two people, one like a tease, the other like a tease, is quite interesting.

In fact, the old people in the workplace in the play also have different styles, Zhang Zixian's Du Lu is skillful and smooth, but also too worldly, for Pan Yan, hired when needed, just hired but resigned, Pan Yan is dead or alive, he is all kinds of thorns. And Yi Lu, played by Zhu Zhu, is seductive, more to give newcomers opportunities and give them encouragement.

The play actually shows some real workplace ecology, for example, in Rongke, there are all kinds of professionals, Zheng Mang and Fan Xiaotian are representatives of old fritters, Fan Xiaotian goes to work to fish and get off work to engage in side jobs. And Zheng Mang took the job in front of the leader, said that he wanted to get a public account, turned around and arranged it to Fan Xiaotian, in terms of work, he actually had to get by.

The life line of "Ordinary Road" is also relatively full, and the character shaping is relatively successful, Pan Yan's mother Tang Meiyan, like many ordinary mothers at the bottom, will be proud of her son's success, and I can't wait to know that my son has something, and also rush ahead to bear it for him and be his backing. Shu Yinan's father is also very pleasant, Shu Yinan wants to give the house to Pan Yan to live in, what he said is very reasonable, most of the time in life encounter problems, you need to solve and face by yourself.

In my opinion, "Ordinary Road" is a very good-looking workplace drama, with a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, representative cases, and a topic worth discussing. In addition, the characters are distinct, the actors' acting skills are online, and the workplace ecology is also successfully shaped. At the same time, this drama is also very good in terms of soundtrack, in addition to using "Ordinary Road" as the theme song, "New Boy" is also used in the episode, and "The Nameless Man", the lyrics are also very heartfelt, especially the sentence "I am from a small town, a person who has eaten with crying and laughing", I almost didn't hold back when I listened.

Pan Yan's story is actually the story of every person from an ordinary background, who has been confused, lost, lost, and wandered on the road to chasing his dreams, but he has not forgotten his original intention, and strives to run forward to find the right answer to life. So he is, so do you and me. We have all experienced the hammer of life, but we have had to grow up in the crawl and turn into butterflies in the stumble.
