In the first week, it won the first place in prime-time ratings, with 8 powerful people sitting in the town, and CCTV's big drama is about to explode

In the field of Chinese dramas, family dramas are the least playful genres.

Compared with suspense, romance and other dramas to build a crazy plot ingenuity, family dramas based on family life are completely different.

This kind of drama does not need to play tricks in the plot at all, and even deliberately avoids plot curiosity.

On the contrary, family dramas that focus on real life tend to be as simple as possible, and the more realistic they are, the more points are added.

Not following routines but also moving, family dramas have also become a simple and powerful theme in the field of Chinese dramas.

In recent years, family dramas featuring simple style have repeatedly exploded.

In 2019, "It's Good", which focuses on the theme of elderly support, has led a wave of ratings.

Under the noisy painting style, in addition to remembering the cute old man played by Ni Dahong, we were also touched by the warm scenes where the family's noisier feelings became deeper.

In 2020, "Loading Stage" starring Zhang Jiayi and Ni Ni landed on CCTV and caused heated discussions.

Focusing on the life of the stage installer Diao Dashun's family, the work also takes us to feel the most real market atmosphere with a life-like painting style.

In the past 2 years, high-scoring family dramas such as "The World" and "Children of the Qiao Family" have appeared one after another, which has made the taste of this home fill the Chinese drama market.

And this month, CCTV's shot made this family flavor stronger.

A few days ago, the family drama "Mature Year" starring Song Dandan and Liu Yijun landed on CCTV's set of prime time.

As soon as it was broadcast, the show immediately aroused a warm response.

Since its launch, the work has not only broken 1 in ratings for 6 consecutive days, but also won the title of the first in the prime time in the first week.

Now, the show has stabilized the second position in the country for 3 consecutive days, and the solid ratings data also proves that CCTV has caught another king bomb.

On webcasting platforms, the data is also intuitive.

"Mature Year", which won the top 4 platform hot lists, also shows a good online broadcast popularity.

With the experience of successful family dramas in the past, this "Mature Year" also focuses on a "real" in the plot.

There is no vigorous exaggerated plot, but a warm brushstroke to tell all kinds of trivial things about the family.

The story of "Mature Year" takes place in a well-off family with three generations.

The family's surname is Ni.

The eldest patriarch of the Ni family is a gray-haired old lady, and after Han Xinru raised three children hard, Mrs. Ni has entered the age of enjoying blessings.

From Mrs. Ni downwards, there are three brothers and sisters of different ages.

They have their own lives, but they also have their own troubles.

The eldest family is annoyed by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The eldest of the Ni family (played by Zhang Guoqiang) is happy in middle age, and his son is about to marry his girlfriend.

But behind the happy event, there is also a bad side.

The daughter-in-law has not yet officially entered the door, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in the first place.

Because the new daughter-in-law has no plan to create a person for the time being, this makes Sister-in-law Ni (played by Song Dandan), who is eager to be a grandmother, very anxious.

Hurrying and urging has no effect, this mother-in-law-to-be's face is very ugly.

Due to the core differences on the issue of giving birth to a baby, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to be friendly on the surface, but the relationship is delicate inside.

This layer of tension in the air made Boss Ni, who was caught in the middle and forced to become a "tree hole", deeply experienced...

In this regard, his expression was only helpless, helpless... Helpless.

The second family is troubled by the relationship between husband and wife;

The second brother of the Ni family (played by Liu Yijun) is a university professor with a successful career, who has been married to his wife (played by Hao Lei) for many years and has never quarreled, and has always been a harmonious couple in the eyes of outsiders.

But suddenly one day, the second brother filed for divorce without warning, and then disappeared without saying a word...

Under the sudden "breakup", the second sister-in-law was puzzled.

From suspicion to suspicion of terminal illness, she presupposes countless answers in her head.

For this "reason", she kept looking for her second brother who deliberately avoided.

It turned out that the other party had a sense of escape due to his wife's excessive desire to control, and the two were also in a pulling stage to escape and chase...

This perfect couple in the eyes of outsiders has also sounded the marriage alarm.

The old three family... No, the third child has no home, just her.

And this is precisely where her troubles lie.

As an urban older woman, the third sister of the Ni family (played by Wang Ou) often receives strange eyes because she is older and unmarried.

Not only the old mother will secretly pay attention to her emotional life, but the sister-in-law, who has always broken her mouth, will also talk about her singleness at the family banquet.

The pressure of public opinion makes her faintly "pressured"...

For the Ni brothers and sisters, more trouble is yet to come.

During a physical examination, Mrs. Ni was also diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and her memory began to deteriorate...

From the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the marriage crisis to the maintenance of the elderly, a series of problems snowballed in front of them.

It can be said that the old Ni family has really been bored recently...

01, 8 major acting schools gathered, and 2 people acted to "be scolded"

After talking about the main plot, let's talk about something else.

The most intuitive highlight of this "Mature Year" comes from the actor level.

The Ni family's family of eight is played by representatives of acting schools of all ages in the circle.

The top old lady of the Ni family, played by Huabiao Award actress Cao Cuifen.

The middle-level Ni brothers and sisters and their other half are dominated by acting schools such as Zhang Guoqiang, Liu Yijun, Wang Ou, Song Dandan, and Hao Lei.

Even the younger generation of the Ni family is also a young actor with a certain reputation such as Tang Yixin and Wang Yanlin.

The appearance of familiar faces in film and television also guarantees the acting content of the entire drama.

And in this "Mature Year" acting involution, in the first ten episodes, two people took the lead in "stealing the scene".

Even, these two were "scolded" because of their roles being able to play well.

The first one, Song Dandan.

In the play, she plays the sister-in-law of the Ni family, who can be called the ceiling of chatter.

This middle-aged woman with a broken mouth every day has the mentality of breaking everything idle...

Almost everything around her is the object of her nagging.

This meeting is to urge the prospective daughter-in-law to have a baby, seemingly friendly expression, but in fact the sentences are counted.

A burst of crackling output made the friendliness of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who was already "in arrears", even worse...

At that moment, she nagged the little sister of the Ni family to be single, and she pricked into the pain point without saying a word...

Even if she buys a vegetable on the street, she can fight with the vegetable seller aunt online...

In Qingshi's opinion, I am afraid that if I pass by a dog, Sister-in-law Ni has to criticize two gaits...

Under the brilliant performance of Song Dandan, the role appeared clearly as a broken mouth.

Under the noisy painting style of broken mouths, Song Dandan's interpretation has not only received widespread recognition, but also received some "negative comments" like netizens entering the play:

It's so annoying!

the second is Liu Yijun;

This senior acting school plays Second Brother Ni, who is caught in middle-aged emotional problems.

In the opposite scene with Hao Lei, who plays his wife, he plays the middle-aged man's "screwing" very vividly.

Although he has been living in harmony with his wife for many years, the second brother feels suffocated by the other party's excessive concern.

Not only is the daily itinerary always in the other party's field of vision, but life and work are also intervened by the other party.

Even if he was wearing small shoes at work, his wife solved the problem one step ahead of him.

But the second brother, who should have been "sympathized", textbook the definition of "poor people must have something to hate".

In order to ease his inner twist, his expression is quite bad.

Not only did he unilaterally declare the divorce and directly lost contact, he also refused to accept his wife's help.

What is even more exaggerated is that in order to strengthen the will to divorce, he also sent his old mother to a nursing home at one point...

And this low emotional intelligence operation also made Liu Yijun's role attract criticism.

On the Internet, many netizens called the second brother a scumbag who did not take responsibility, and they were angry when they looked at the role.

Even, some netizens who entered the play said that they hated the role of Liu Yijun too much and "didn't want to give stars".

Under the overwhelming scolding of the character, the actor himself also left a message with a desire for survival saying "lie flat and scold".

One acted until it was annoying, and the other acted until it was scolded.

Scolding in the character body, but praising in the actor's heart.

From the perspective of acting skills, it also proves that the two actors can play well.

02. The core is warm, and the bonds of home touch people's hearts

After watching the first 10 episodes, the Ni family is obviously troublesome.

But here, the screenwriter did not create anxiety, but through the growing unity of Ni's family under chicken feathers, he strengthened the theme of family for us.

This can be seen from the two scenes that seem noisy on the outside, but are actually warm.

The first one, the second brother's divorce persuasion meeting;

After the second brother filed for divorce from the second sister-in-law, the Ni family, who heard the news, couldn't sit still.

The second sister-in-law's daily housework is orderly, which has long been recognized by the whole family, and the family does not want to see her leave.

So, a family banquet to keep the second sister-in-law began.

During the family banquet, Mrs. Ni, the No. 1 player, directly set the tone of the whole audience with a speech and stood up for her daughter-in-law.

I don't agree (divorce), I want to hammer him and beat him (second brother)

Immediately afterwards, the little sister played by Wang Ou took over the output banner.

After scolding his brother in a crackle, the sentence "If you want to leave, she will leave you" made the second brother speechless.

And the sister-in-law, who has always had a broken mouth, naturally did not fall into the team.

This group can be called the verbal output of stand-up comedy, directly criticizing the second brother as a scumbag who likes the new and dislikes the old.

After a crazy count of 2 and a half minutes, the sister-in-law brutally turned the persuasion meeting into a criticism meeting.

Although the style of this family banquet is noisy, judging from their anxious appearance of maintaining their second sister-in-law, the core is warm.

the second scene, Mrs. Ni's nursing home talk;

Don't say, this matter was also brought by the second brother of the "slot manufacturing machine".

He thought that he could not take good care of his mother after the divorce, and sent him to a nursing home after saying that his mother agreed.

As soon as the news came out, it could be bad for other family members.

The eldest brother, who has always been a good old man, couldn't help but get angry, pointing at his younger brother was a bitter scolding.

And the second sister-in-law, who has long regarded her mother-in-law as a family member, also angrily criticized the "prospective ex-husband" for being irresponsible.

At the same time, she cried and ran to the nursing home to beg her mother-in-law to come home.

But in the face of the warmth of her son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ni's response was tearful.

She seems to be forgetful, but she clearly remembers everything her eldest son has done for the family.

In this regard, she refused to go home with Boss Ni on the grounds that she "would not become a burden to her children".

And the sentence "I don't cause you trouble, is the greatest contribution to you", also made many netizens cry with the emotional interpretation of 79-year-old teacher Cao Cuifen.

Living around the Ni family, the bond between the family makes people look very moving.

Of course, the bond referred to here does not include the second brother.

03. Focus on life, life should be like this "no regrets"

What surprised me about this "Mature Year" was the rhythm of the plot.

Despite presenting all the troubles of life, the writers didn't let the characters pull and pull on something.

On the contrary, he uses the difficult but decisive choices of the characters to explain for us the definition of "life is like chess, and there are no regrets".

Some roles are resolutely leaving;

After the divorce incident, the second sister-in-law was very reluctant to end this 20-year relationship in the early stage.

But after seeing the entanglement of the second brother and the other party's gesture that he would rather send his mother away than divorce, the second sister-in-law did not linger to the end.

Instead, she resolutely agreed to the other party's request, sadly but resolutely cutting off her long-term relationship.

Some roles are resolutely married;

After being nagged by the family around her, Ni Xiaomei, played by Wang Ou, was unmoved by the aura of old age.

But that doesn't mean she's a complete singlet.

When she meets the right person, her love burns more than anyone else.

Once, after being plucked up the courage to confess by the ambiguous object, Xiaomei agreed to the other party after emotionally speaking.

When the love was strong, the two even went to get the certificate without saying a word...

Don't settle for love, don't miss true love.

Ni Xiaomei's dare to love and hate, the painting style is quite distinct.

Some roles, on the other hand, resigned firmly;

As new media faced transformation, Ni Xiaomei, who was unwilling to compromise, resolutely left her TV station.

But in the face of the so-called unemployment anxiety, she has a strong psychological construction.

When her family was worried about her prospects, Ni Xiaomei said confidently while staying at home:

My experience, why do I worry about not finding a job?

The courage to restart his career at an older age is also touching.

Whether it is marriage or career, life will have such and such troubles, but facing problems and having no regrets like the characters in the play will make our lives renewal.

Of course, this sentence also does not apply to the hesitant second brother.

The above is the intuitive perception of the first ten episodes of "Mature Year".

After touching on life issues such as parenting anxiety and elderly support from the perspective, the play reminds us of the bonds with our families in life with a realistic painting style.

Just like the Ni family in the play, although there will always be some trivial matters, although there may not be a solution to the problem, at least the existence of the family makes them not always frustrated.

Understanding our families, feeling for them, and cherishing them are also the core of the warmth that "Mature Year" brings us.

Now, as the ratings of "Mature Year" continue to rise, this domestic family drama seems to have become popular throughout the country.

No problem, let's pay attention to the life of a wave of old Ni's family with a beautiful vision of home.
