Starts tonight! Another female group portrait drama is coming, starring Liu Tao and Liu Yuning, can it be popular?

This heroine opened the hanging.

In the last second, a vase smashed the male protagonist's head.

In the next scene, he said a series of cruel words to his friend Bai Yang (played by Qin Hailu) in one breath.

"You have no emotions, no friends, you are a cold-blooded and arrogant work machine."

"It's excessive!"

I was drawn to a trailer. The lines are sharp, full of tension, and the rhythm gives people an inexplicable sense of "cool".

The most important thing is that the two heroines who tear their faces in the play are recognized as ferromagnetism in internal entertainment outside the play: Liu Tao and Qin Hailu.

In domestic dramas, which type of theme is the most sighing?

That must be a female group drama.

An "Ode to Joy" kicks off this popular genre.

The next "Thirty Only", "Love is Delicious" and "I'm Very Good in Another Country" made female group portrait dramas gradually become a popular genre of Chinese dramas.

It's a pity that in the past two years, women's group portrait dramas have basically received mediocre responses, and many new dramas such as "Hearts Rippling" and "Twenty Not Confused 2" are not missing the best, but the ratings are difficult to break.

It's time for a real drama.

Tonight, Jiangsu Satellite TV, "Be Your Own Light".

The original production team of "The Sea of Stars", director Yu Ding + screenwriter Su Xiaoyuan.

Starring, Liu Tao, Qin Hailu, Liu Yuning, as well as Tan Kai, Lu Fangsheng and other acting schools.

Although many audiences have set their sights on the sister and brother of Liu Tao and Liu Yuning's characters in the play, this story is really not that simple.

1. Story: "sister-brother love" again? In fact, it is another female alliance drama

Don't let some of the previous reports run away.

"Be Your Own Light" actually tells the story of He Huan, Bai Yang, Zhao Yuanyuan, three women with completely different personalities, who have repeatedly clashed in the workplace, from acquaintance to acquaintance to mutual confidant.

In the play, He Huan, played by Liu Tao, encountered a series of events such as her husband's escape, leaving huge debts, career setbacks, and her mother's serious illness, and fell to the bottom of her life.

With the encouragement of his friends, after experiencing the initial overwhelm, He Huan faced all difficulties with tenacity and worked hard from scratch.

From a hotline answerer at the grassroots level, he quickly grew into a program host and returned to the peak of his career.

With the help of online blogger Jiang Junhao, he plunged into the tide of the times, and after the success of founding self-media, he actively participated in the construction of TV station media integration.

Career gradually improved, emotionally He Huan also faced new choices. Her husband's selfish coldness made He Huan sober and independent, and her relationship with Jiang Junhao also had a new development.

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this show at first.

But after reading the trailer, I decisively entered the pit!

Although the story does contain the plot of sibling love, the main story is actually aimed at topics such as women's workplace competition and women's independence, and the narrative style is biased towards the feeling of light comedy, and a large number of strong conflict plots are also full of drama.

And the rivalry scene between Liu Tao and Liu Yuning is not blindly candy, but closer to the setting of "Huanxi Wronged Family", a rival scene, one second, the male protagonist is still leaning against the wall to play handsome, and the next second, the vase whose head was smashed by the female protagonist opened.

The two story branches have joined the career friendship line of Liu Tao and Qin Hailu's characters, as well as the bridge of women helping each other.

It can be said that the love line is not the only focus of the story, the core of the play is to tell the growth group portrait of urban women, and face the diverse issues of contemporary women from multiple dimensions such as workplace, emotion, and life.

Because "boldly writing women's destiny" is what makes women's group dramas different from other realistic themes.

Compared with sugar, creating typical and vivid characters is the key to the breakthrough of female group dramas.

2, actors: Liu Tao, Qin Hailu's girlfriends teamed up, Liu Yuning played the male protagonist for the first time, and the supporting cast lit up

The director of "Be Your Own Light" is Yu Ding, there are 8-point word-of-mouth masterpieces such as "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", and there are also high-rated works such as "The Sea of Stars", and not long ago, Di Lireba's "Public Prosecution" was also his work.

The realistic theme is obviously his specialty.

Screenwriter Su Xiaoyuan has written popular styles such as "The Blooming Moon That Year" and "The Sea of Stars", and women's themes are her best field.

This choreographer-director combination is powerful enough.

Look at the actors.

The series starring Liu Tao, Qin Hailu, Liu Yuning, the main supporting roles are Chai Biyun, Lu Fangsheng, Zhang Duo, Feng Lei, Tan Kai, etc., the protagonists and supporting roles, each with its own highlights.

Let's start with the three leading actors.

The first is Liu Tao.

In recent years, Liu Tao has really had a lot of plays, and she is in the main theme dramas such as "County Party Committee Compound", and she is also in various urban dramas.

But this actress with the most ratings appeal in the Chinese drama generation has also reached the moment when she needs a breakthrough in her acting skills.

It can be seen that Liu Tao's roles in recent years are mainly of two categories, one is the female leader in "The Beginning" and "County Party Committee Compound", such as the police chief in "The Beginning" and the head of the propaganda department of "County Party Committee Compound".

I think Liu Tao's acting skills in the play are fine, but he is qualified and not brilliant, and it is easy to be compared when he encounters other outstanding supporting roles.

One is the big heroine in urban dramas such as "The Sea of Stars", which is Liu Tao's real acting comfort zone, and her play in this genre has always been very stable, but what is missing is an Andy-style classic role.

She has a drama to play in this drama, the heroine has experienced events such as her husband's escape, leaving huge debts, and her career is not smooth, and her career is finally turned over, and her selfish husband secretly returned. There is no shortage of drama and growth in the character itself, depending on how Liu Tao plays.

I think the audience doesn't have to focus all their eyes on the sibling love paragraph, being their own light is the real highlight of this character.

Let's talk about Qin Hailu.

Qin Hailu has two well-known identities in internal entertainment, one is Wang Xinjun's wife. The second is Liu Tao's best friend for 15 years.

But the director did not simply let the two continue their girlfriend relationship in the play, the role in Chai Biyun's play is Liu Tao's "dead party", and Qin Hailu has been fighting with Liu Tao almost all the time in the trailer, which is interesting.

In my mind, Qin Hailu has always been an underrated actress.

She has participated in many excellent domestic film and television dramas.

In "The Piano of Steel", she played the heroine Shuxian.

In "Above the Cliff", she plays the heroine Wang Yu.

In "White Deer Plain", she plays Immortal Grass. In "Red Sorghum", she plays the sister-in-law. In "Loading the Stage", she plays a pistol. In "Xiaomin's House", she plays Li Ping.

These roles have a master and a match, but Qin Hailu's play is always stable, when she encounters a good role, she will have a queen-level play, the role is not powerful enough, and she will also add color to the role with rich acting experience.

But in recent years, this powerful person has not received many good dramas, especially the roles in urban dramas are relatively similar.

But her role in this play is somewhat new, she is a workaholic who puts her career first, but she will also face the anger and patience of her girlfriends.

I waited to see how she played the hard and soft sides of the character.

Finally, the male protagonist Liu Yuning.

Liu Yuning is probably the most outstanding singer turned film and television drama student in recent years.

At first, everyone probably didn't take his acting too seriously, and there were too few stages for domestic entertainment singers, and they would basically put them into the film and television industry to test the water.

But "Long Song Xing" has changed the impression of many people, Liu Yuning's acting skills are not only better than most singers and actors, but also higher than most traffic idols, especially the cold-faced male second in costume dramas, which can be said to be unconventional and outstanding.

Recently, Luo Mingxi in "The Legend of Anle" is still very stable.

It is not difficult for singers to act, but from three times and two to the male one, Liu Yuning obviously relies on more than just popularity.

But the challenges he faced in this play were not small, not only with the siblings in Liu Tao's play, but also because the characters were out of his performance comfort zone.

There was a scene where he was beaten by the heroine, embarrassed and helpless to defend himself, but he was beaten so that he couldn't lift his head, and Liu Yuning played very naturally.

If Liu Yuning plays the role of this urban blogger well, his acting skills test will really pass.

Let's talk about a few powerful supporting roles.

First, Tan Kai.

As the "leader" of appearance and acting skills in the supporting roles of the Mesozoic generation, Tan Kai's reputation has always been good, but his fame is far from worthy of his acting skills.

In "Sweeping Black Storm", he plays an extremely selfish and bottom-line official Dong Yao, the role is shaped by him, the image is three-dimensional, the details are wonderful, Tan Kai faces Sun Honglei and Wang Zhifei, and his acting skills are not left behind.

In "Thirteen Years of Dust", Tan Kai also had a good performance. The role of a black boss who has been played by him is embarrassing.

Tan Kai's acting skills are full of immersion, which makes it easy to substitute. This time, he finally played a big boss with a good spirit, naturally it will not be bad.

Second, Chai Biyun.

She has performed wonderfully in many dramas such as "The Sea of Stars" and "Our Forty Years", but her popularity has always been tepid, which is a pity.

Chai Biyun is not taking the sweet route, but it is very beautiful, the performance is not routine, sometimes charming and gentle, sometimes wild and strong, can add their own understanding to the character, looks, figure, temperament, acting skills are not bad, but the entertainment industry is not red, depending on fate.

In this play, she plays the heroine's girlfriend, beautiful and intellectual, with a kind of sobriety to see the world, and has also contracted many golden sentences, which is likely to be a brilliant role.

In the play, she will continue to challenge the type of role she is good at, and Guan Wen can't wait to see the scene of Qin Lan's drama.

Third, Feng Lei.

After being seen by the audience with the role of Zhao Gongzi in "In the Name of the People", Feng Lei has been too active in the play in recent years, and when he played Yao Lisong in "The World", the audience thought that he finally played a "good man", but he didn't expect to pay the wrong thing after all.

"Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes", he played Director Han, who almost violated He Lucky.

Feng Lei does not appear in these dramas very much, but each role has weight, and the acting skills don't worry, I want to know if I can let him play a really good person.

Fourth, Lu Fangsheng.

The one who resembles the Japanese among the actors of the national drama.

In the early years, Lu Fangsheng played many Japanese army officers in various anti-Japanese war dramas, and in "Lone Wolf", Lu Fangsheng relied on his evil appearance and superb acting skills to interpret Asano's ruthlessness into three points.

In the play "The Indelible Number", he interpreted the image of Yamashita Fengmu, a Japanese officer, just right

In recent years, Lu Fangsheng began to play Chinese in Chinese dramas, but he was also mostly a villain.

In this play, he played another extremely unflattering heroine husband, who absconded in debt, and secretly returned to China, almost writing the word selfish on his face.

Letting Lu Fang be born to play such a role is simply stable, watching him go home calmly in the play, I want to rush into the screen and beat him again.

3. Break the game: Can the female group portrait drama still turn over? Watch this show

In the recent summer season, ancient puppet dramas and suspense dramas took turns to support the scene.

The ancient puppet battlefield, one "Jade Bone Yao", one "Anle Chuan", the battle is incomprehensible.

In terms of suspense dramas, Pan Yueming's "Vanishing Eleven Floors" gradually ended, and Zhang Yiliao Fan's "Huan Yan" appeared again.

However, not all audiences like suspense dramas and ancient puppets, and there are still many audiences who like urban dramas.

"Be Your Own Light" appears at this time, just at the right time.

But whether she can become a dark horse in ratings depends on herself.

In recent years, there are many domestic dramas that eat the dividends of women's themes. But the audience is not satisfied, because the more you watch the female group drama, the more you feel the same.

Not only are the female characters very similar, but the plot is often criticized for being ungrounded.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the behavior of female characters is too far from the cognition of ordinary people. So much so that as soon as the women's drama was broadcast, complaints such as "the screenwriter really didn't go to work" came again.

To put it bluntly, it's not that the audience doesn't wait to see female group dramas, it's that there are too few good things.

But Chinese dramas are not unable to make good female group dramas, "Ode to Joy" and "Love is Delicious" are good examples.

Behind the outbreak of women's group dramas is the rise of "her economy". Women's voice is increasing day by day, and female audiences want to see their own lives.

Women's group dramas can also cover a wide range of content, workplace, marriage, female friendship, each topic is close to the audience's life, as long as the shooting is brilliant, it is easy to explode.

Can't shoot a hit, because the content is too suspended, and the ungrounded story is difficult to resonate.

But women's lives are still a story bonanza.

The genre of Chinese dramas has ups and downs, and the audience's aesthetics are changing, but the audience has always been extremely enthusiastic about this type of content.

The key to breaking the game lies in how to break the dilemma of routine.

How to break the game? In fact, the title of this play is the answer.

To let the audience substitute themselves through the role, follow the heroine to complete a counterattack in life, and be their own light, only by lighting into the audience's heart, the play can be considered a win.
