Previously, the old drama bones who could only do green leaves in major hit dramas have collectively stood up this year!
In the past, Zhang Songwen led the audience to "Crazy" together.
Then there is the phenomenal divine drama "Long Season" cooperated by the "elderly detective team" Fan Wei, Qin Hao and Chen Minghao.
Also, it is the popular family light comedy "Grandma's New World" starring Yan Ni as two roles.
Since its launch, it has ranked second on the hit list, with a score of 7.4 on Douban.
Netizens in the comment area are all kinds of happy and puben, and they have said that they have waited for a good drama that makes people get on the head.
Also, with Jiang Xiuqiong (director) and Li Xiang (screenwriter) such as gold medal choreographers who are familiar with women's themes, there is really no need to worry about the quality of the series.
1. The missing grandmother
This is a TV series with a female perspective.
The plot revolves around the elder "grandmother" who is rarely paid attention to.
Grandmother Sun Yuping (played by Yan Ni) is middle-aged and widowed husband, hardworking and kind, weak and forbearing.
In the first half of his life, he first revolved around his daughter Dou Xiaojing (played by Zhang Yao), and then had his granddaughter Dou Qi (played by Deng Enxi), and the focus of life expanded to the next generation.
Grandmother has a twin sister Sun Yulan (played by Yan Ni).
Compared with her cowardly and honest sister, Sun Yulan is capable, sharp and calm, with a respectable career and a smooth career.
It is an independent woman that my grandmother never dreamed of.
Because of an accident, my grandmother, who lived alone in her later years, suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.
After rescue, he returned to the world without risk.
As expected, the person is still lying on the bed, and the aftermath has been clearly arranged by his daughter: you better make a will to avoid trouble later.
Grandma was startled, and then nodded obediently as always: Good.
Soon after, her grandmother, who had dealt with the "aftermath", quietly left the city where she had lived for half her life.
After five years, there was no news.
This paragraph reminded many netizens of the popular "50-year-old self-driving tour aunt" in the previous two years.
The same hard work all his life, "defected" in old age.
The difference between the two is that the aunt slowly finds the value of life in the day-to-day travel, but the grandmother's experience is like a thrilling and bizarre road movie, which is wonderful at first glance and tasteful.
Through your grandmother's perspective, you will find that those troughs and dilemmas, optimism and tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, that only women can empathize, are so sad and warm and touching.
Second, the bucket list of small-town girls
Before meeting her grandmother, the small-town girl Liao Xiangmei (played by Huang Yao) was a wanted fugitive accused of intentional injury.
The cause of her crime stems from an obsession rooted in her heart for many years, revenge.
Liao Xiangmei and her friend He Huan are girlfriends from childhood to adulthood, the two came to the city to work together, were fired by the boss together, and found a new job together and full of hope for the future.
However, with a sudden accident, He Huan crashed into a steel pipe to help Liao Xiangmei regain the backpack stolen by the gangsters and unfortunately died.
Her intact and healthy cornea and heart are continued in the lives of others.
At the same time, Li Fei, the robber who let He Huan die in vain, was only sentenced to five years in prison for reporting (gang) meritorious work.
At this point, helping He Huan avenge and taking another look at her organs that continue to rejuvenate in others has become Liao Xiangmei's only bucket list in life.
When she met her grandmother, Liao Xiangmei had already taken revenge on Li Fei and was on her way to find He Huan's organ recipient while fleeing.
As a result, her grandmother accidentally sent Liao Xiangmei to prison, and went through hardships to fulfill her unfulfilled wish.
This is a story about friendship, and there are two particularly moving points in it.
1. Finally got rid of the indispensable "female competition" in the dog blood drama.
The two girls went to the city to work, did not lose themselves because of the strange city life, and did not hurt each other and were jealous.
It is to support each other in the face of temptation and adversity, to be down-to-earth, and to plan the bright future they can touch together.
Liao Xiangmei and He Huan's inseparable protection is the most beautiful look of friendship.
The only regret is that the price for the two is too great.
2. The kindness of the spring breeze is sometimes not only help, but also salvation for others.
Liao Xiangmei was psychologically prepared for the worst before meeting her grandmother, and her revenge and flight were all in order to complete her long-set bucket list.
It was her grandmother's kindness, sincerity and warmth that ignited her desperate and numb heart again, until she slowly got out of the shackles and reconciled with herself.
Huang Yao's delicate and accurate interpretation of Liao Xiangmei added a bit of sadness to the background color of this small town girl.
Third, Zhu Meihong's self-paralysis
The tenth-level scholars of "The Legend of Martial Arts" have recently sighed: Ten years of feng shui turns, Guo Furong, who ran the hall to do miscellaneous things back then, finally became Tong Xiangyu's boss.
That's right, Zhu Meihong (played by Yao Chen) in the story is a coffee shop owner, and she and her grandmother met by chance because they love cats.
Zhu Meihong's shop is short of manpower, and her grandmother, who travels around, just has time.
So the two hit it off and became bosses and temporary employees.
Zhu Meihong has a cold surface, and her mouth is broken and gossipy in private, and she knows who is the mistress, who is the embezzler, who is the garbage lover, and who is the "kind" who loves cats, she knows everything and understands clearly.
She called this kind of prying called observing life, and she was smug, saying that her greatest strength was her strong observation.
But reality soon made her slap herself in the face, and the bookstore owner she admired was a cat masochist dressed in kindness.
In the process of tearing apart the other party's disguise, she also interfered with her grandmother's investigation of the truth several times because she was overconfident.
After the bookstore owner's hypocrisy was exposed, in the face of the other party's insults and provocations, the sharp-tongued Zhu Meihong did not know how to fight back except shock and anger.
People like Zhu Meihong and bookstore owners can actually be seen everywhere in life.
Zhu Meihong is full of love for cats, and does not hesitate to spend money to contribute to the hairy children, but she is particularly obedient and sensitive to the people and things around her.
For example, because there are no clerks, she will be expressionless to chase away customers who come to drink coffee enthusiastically.
After the customer leaves, he will chew the root of the tongue with the clerk (grandmother).
Grandma quarreled with security guards because of her, but in her eyes she became mocking her for her disability.
She seems to be self-reliant and does not seek others, but imagine if she left her parents' support, with her unstable emotions and freewheeling business model, she could really support herself quietly for years?
It can be seen that Zhu Meihong has always been proud of her independence and strength, in essence, it is a kind of self-paralysis illusion and paranoia.
Without a strong heart and ability to support, the so-called independent woman is often an empty slogan.
And the hypocritical bookstore owner, seemingly warm and warm, is polite to everyone and keeps an appropriate distance.
But behind the sun, how many unexpected and long-planned evils will be spawned under this harmless appearance of humans and animals.
It's the kind of surprise that surprises the "how could it be him".
A slightly terrifying story that brings out two completely different kinds of people.
The choreographer's care and ingenuity have to be praised from the bottom of his heart.
Fourth, Grandma's Secret and Awakening
The truth of my grandmother's runaway was not answered until halfway through the story.
At first, everyone thought that it was her daughter's indifference that caused her grandmother to run away from home in discouragement.
Later, it turned out that it was not, and the last straw that prompted her grandmother to flee was her late husband Dou Junwu, who died in a car accident more than 20 years ago.
Through the account of the driver who caused the accident and a third party, my grandmother knew that in addition to Dou Junwu, there was another woman, Han Ling (played by Guo Keyu), at the scene of the car accident.
Dou Junwu and Han Ling are colleagues, and the two have been secretly entangled for many years, and the car accident was their breakup trip.
During this period, Dou Junwu proposed that both of them go back to divorce, and then "have a lover and eventually become a dependent", but Han Ling did not agree.
In a fit of anger, Dou Junwu drove into a tree on the side of the road.
Dou Junwu died on the spot, and later received commendations from the factory.
Han Ling and the innocent driver, one for the family, the other with guilt, each lived in secret for more than 20 years.
When the truth came out, Han Ling, who had also hurt the two families, had also died.
The truth of cheating, junior, martyrdom, car accident, more than 20 years late, became the last straw that crushed my grandmother.
Before leaving, my grandmother, who had been obedient to herself, also accidentally remembered the white moonlight of her childhood sweetheart.
It wasn't until she met her that she found that the young man she had fallen in love with had become a bald old man who was hiding from debts.
The gentleness and beauty of that year have long been gone, and the old man even pestered her to ask her to borrow money.
There really is no perfect path in life.
The grandmother, who had endured most of her life, finally let go of the burden and officially opened her "escape".
Grandma is unfortunate, but women like her abound in life.
Even if they are cheated, deceived, disliked, neglected, and trapped by various trivial groups of their families, few people have thought of escaping throughout their lives.
Because of this, the rebellion of my grandmother and my 50-year-old self-driving aunt is particularly brave and moving.
Fortunately, the grandmother who died and was born began to change with the naked eye during the subsequent journey.
First of all, she declared that she had never been married, had no children, passed away parents, had no relatives, was dashing, and could go wherever she wanted.
Grandma has only made promises all her life and is used to being arranged by people around her.
But this does not mean that she does not desire to be independent and strong, and to be able to control life according to her preferences.
This led to her running away from home to cut off contact with everyone as soon as possible, and tried to let go of herself and make her journey free and exciting.
Secondly, Grandma also learned to say "no."
Whether it is Zhu Meihong, or the Internet celebrity old girlfriend (played by Liu Lin) who is live broadcast together, and the male protagonist of the sunset love Chen Tong (played by Geng Le).
When the other party was either aggressive, or small-bellied, or emotionally unstable, Grandma chose to stay away from each other for the first time.
Timely stop loss is the wisdom of life, but also the great progress and change of grandma.
Grandmother's twin sister Sun Yulan, the sisters look exactly the same, but their personalities are very different.
Sun Yulan has been assertive since she was a child, and she knows what to ask for.
For example, Dou Junwu was originally the object of her parents' introduction to her at that time, but she was not satisfied with herself, and she felt that the other party was not bad, so she changed hands and introduced her to her sister Sun Yuping.
She doesn't seem to have a good face for her sister, but she will also reflect at critical times that the hurt her sister suffered in her marriage is inseparable from herself.
On the contrary, grandmother did not have much evaluation of her sister Sun Yulan.
But through the detail of her fraudulent use of Sun Yulan's resume, it can also be seen that she recognizes and admires her sister from the bottom of her heart.
I didn't dare to think about it before, and I couldn't do it, but after running away from home, I was finally able to splurge on it once.
This is the bravery of grandmother Sun Yuping, and it is also a major transformation in her 60-year life.
It is necessary to praise Yan Ni's acting skills.
Whether Sun Yuping's timidity and cowardice in the early stage, honesty and forbearance, or the subsequent gentleness, bravery, enthusiasm and strength, she was meticulous with her eyes, expressions, and movements.
Switched to Sun Yulan, and changed into a confident and arrogant woman with an aura of one meter eight.
As we all know, the elderly are not good at acting, regardless of appearance, their tone, demeanor, expression, and walking appearance are very different from those of young people.
Simple imitation is easy, but immersing yourself in the role is indeed a big test for actors.
Yan Ni's style has always been young, and in this drama she challenged the elderly role, but she didn't expect the performance to be so perfect.
It is worthy of acting what is a "drama throwing face".
The above are some of the main highlights of this show.
Through the plot, the audience can see that although the plight of women has always existed objectively, women's mutual aid is not an empty talk that only exists in the imagination.
I sincerely hope that those "grandmothers" who have similar situations can finally find themselves and live a wonderful life.
