On July 30, the TV series "Ichiya Family" was launched in multiple episodes of iQiyi, opening the premiere mode. The TV series stars comedians Zhang Haiyu, Ma Shuliang and others, and made cameo appearances by Ni Ping, Sha Yi, Jia Bing, Tan Jianci, Li Jianyi, Hai Yi and Fu Seoul. Because it is a family sitcom, it is very popular with the audience. Judging from the quality of the current episodes, its level is basically passed.
In terms of family sitcoms, since "I Love My Home", a large number of relatively good works have emerged, such as "Northeast Family", "Family with Children", etc., which have become the classic memories of the audience. However, in the past decade or so, there are only a few family sitcoms that have really passed the quality. The reason for this is that family sitcoms are so difficult to create – this is the job of "Fei Screenwriter".
Behind every fire family sitcom, there must be a comedy screenwriter or even multiple geniuses. Why is this kind of sitcom so difficult to create? The main thing is that in the limited space-time environment, it is necessary to play the characteristics of each character's personality, and enlarge these characters into content with conflicts, but this amplification needs to stay within the scope that the audience can accept.
Many sitcoms, amplifying the personality of the person, eventually beyond the scope of the audience's acceptance, will appear farcical. A more typical example is the series "Love Apartment". For family sitcoms, it is not only necessary to live in the realism of the main story, but also to seek comedic effects in the design of bridge details. This degree of rationality is not easy to grasp. It is not difficult to create joke stems and produce "laughing fruits", but the difficulty is how to laugh on the one hand and real family life on the other. In this regard, the best thing to do is to catch the child's terrier of "Family with Children".
Coming to this "One House Family", Ma Shuliang, who once gave Liu Xing a father in "Family with Children", has become a grandfather in this "One House Family". The years make people old. If we give "Ichiki Family" some sympathy points, then the quality of this family sitcom can still be regarded as passing. In the show, the core main line of each episode has a life temperature. In the specific bridge content, the personality and "desire needs" of each character are basically real.
Grandpa, who has two apartments, still needs to rent out his grandson's second bedroom in order to change a little more money. And the female anchor makes money through her diligent live broadcast work, but also bitter. Even Jin Dahai in the Massage Shop wants Master to raise his salary and so on, which are real "desire needs". The characters have these "desire needs" of human fireworks, and this TV series can stand on the ground without being overly exaggerated.
In "Ichiyake Family", there are many detailed bridges, because it captures the reality of life, so it seems to have a comedic flavor. For example, at the dinner table, Grandpa wants to eat fried rice, and the granddaughter-in-law makes wontons, and Grandpa begins to complain. At this time, the granddaughter-in-law skillfully coped, telling the grandson that he wanted to eat wontons. Grandpa immediately stopped complaining and thought it was good to eat ravioli. This "capriciousness" of the character can achieve a comedic expression. In particular, this kind of bridge stem can make the audience connect with reality, which is suddenly interesting.
The main difficulty in the creation of family sitcoms lies in whether the screenwriter has enough hilarious bridges with a sense of realism in life and forms an effective story. The single episode of "Ichiki Family" is around 20 minutes, but there are relatively few bridge stems that can really make the audience laugh. Part of the bridge section content, on the one hand, is distorted, on the other hand, others have already used.
For example, in order to evict the female tenants, Sun Tzu and Jin Dahai actually used "biochemical" humidifiers, which in turn caused the whole room to be filled with smoke. This kind of stem is a bit excessive, and it seems distorted. Once distorted, the play is easy to go in the direction of farce. For another example, Jin Dahai wants to go on a blind date, and Grandpa wants to see a female tenant, which results in a misunderstanding between Jin Dahai and the female tenant, thinking that he has come to go on a blind date. This "blind date" misunderstanding has been used in a large number of comedy sketches. A sitcom, and then take out an old terrier for a large area, it seems not to be interesting.
The above two examples are not only used to prove that some of the bridges in "A Family" are not yet considered, but also directly prove that family sitcoms are really not easy to create, and this kind of script requires screenwriters to observe, imitate and sublimate life more deeply. At the same time, our TV drama market cannot provide many high-quality screenwriters with equal script income. As a result, many screenwriters with real proficiency would rather write story dramas than spend their creative lives on family sitcoms.
Because of this, my evaluation of "Ichiki Family" needs to give more emotional points. As a film and television entertainment content after tea and dinner, the drama is still worth watching. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
