On the evening of October 23, the TV series "Under the Warm Sun" officially premiered on the CCTV TV drama channel. The TV series is starred by Actors such as Gao Lu and Jiang Yi, and Chen Zihan and Guo Xiaodong play supporting actresses and supporting actors respectively. Based on the current plot content, this TV series focuses on couples who have been married for several years, how to deal with emotional problems between husband and wife, and how to face the problem of having a second child. The theme content of this "having a second child" can be said to be just right, and it should be able to get the emotional resonance of some viewers.
At present, "Under the Warm Sun" has several points that are very positive. The first point is that Gao Lu's presentation of the heroine is really domineering, with a kind of female elite image temperament in the workplace. In Gao Lu's previous film and television drama works, there is also a sense of female strength, but it is often not in the workplace, and it lacks a kind of strength, wisdom and charm in the work. This time, it can be said that Gao Lu met a character who is very suitable for his own temperament in "Under the Warm Sun". After the play, actor Gao Lu may get more films from the domineering heroine in the workplace.
This domineering state is not only the energy of the script shaping, but also the actor Gao Lu's own temperament. In his previous TV drama works, Gao Lu has always been able to show a sense of female coldness. This feeling gives the audience a natural heroine's temperament. In "Under the Warm Sun", this female executive is at ease in the workplace, and at home, she has an obedient husband. Obviously, this temperament can capture a lot of female audiences.
The second point is that "Under the Warm Sun" has created a relatively new husband and wife relationship, that is, between supporting actresses and supporting actors. The couple are both company executives, and the man is the CEO of a listed company. Two workplace strongmen, in the marriage, what kind of state will be together? In the premiere plot of the play, the two workplace strongmen, at the commemorative dinner of the tenth wedding anniversary, still called themselves separately, and after the phone call, they still cherished their own affairs, and even flowers and red wine have become cutscenes.
This kind of husband and wife state, in the creation of TV dramas, is very fresh, and it is rarely presented in previous dramas. And this state is indeed a real state of a small number of couples. It is very desirable for the play to be able to perform a conjugal state that is rare in previous TV dramas.
Admittedly, this TV series aims to explore the life of couples, especially whether couples continue to have a second child. Judging from the direction of the play, it should be encouraging everyone and recognizing the many children and many blessings. We, the middle-aged and elderly audience, are indeed very satisfied with this kind of drama view. Based on this, I think "Under the Warm Sun" will receive the affirmation of many middle-aged and elderly audiences. The values of the play itself should be praised.
While affirming and praising, I personally think that this TV series also seems to have some debatable points. For example, the narrative group of "Under the Warm Sun" is not positioned as some "high-end"? In other words, in this TV series work, is the workplace positioning of male and female protagonists and supporting actors too high? The male protagonist's family lives in a big house, and his parents also have their own houses. The supporting actor is the BOSS of the listed company, and the supporting actress is also the executive of the company. Focusing on these groups, will it seem that this TV series is "all rich people"?
I am not saying that TV dramas that play the lives of "wealthy people" are necessarily bad, but I am worried that people who lack basic difficulties in the economy will cut off a lot of real realism contradictions after becoming the protagonists of the play. For the audience, it may be that everyone is a working class, or just an ordinary worker. A few years ago, in the TV series works, everyone also hoped to understand a more superior way of life through TV dramas. In recent years, the audience seems to have grown, not needing to understand the superior lifestyle through the play, but wanting to see their own shadow in the work.
This is what we call the place where the story of the work can appear to sting the audience. If the protagonist family of the TV series is too rich, it is easy to lose a lot of points that sting the audience. A few simple examples, CCTV a set of premiere of the "Loading Station", the reason for the double harvest of ratings and audience reputation, is precisely due to the real sense of this kind of human fireworks, in the play, are real audiences know the characters. For another example, in "Little Shed", what can really sting the audience is the Mi Tao family.
My personal opinion is that if a TV series wants to become a work that ordinary audiences love to watch and are willing to affirm, it needs to put its own characters into the fireworks of the world, especially to shape the characters around the audience. The TV series "Under the Warm Sun" seems to be somewhat lacking in this regard. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
