The start of the broadcast broke the ratings record of the past 5 years, CCTV played a king bomb, and Xiao Zhan acted in an urban drama

I have to say that CCTV is the "only god" of the national drama.

Especially in the past two years, as long as it is a drama that CCTV has watched, no matter what genre, no matter how much this type can not be played before, it can be a hit.

Poverty alleviation dramas, in the past, TV stations frowned when they saw the ratings, and CCTV put together two 9.2-point ratings hit dramas "Mountain and Sea Love" and "Daughter of the Mountain".

The anti-black drama encountered a bottleneck, and CCTV shot "Crazy".

Science fiction dramas have always been ridiculed in the past, and a "Three-Body Problem" made CCTV kick open the door of national dramas.

In short, CCTV can not only add fuel to the fire, but also rejuvenate with a clever hand, other dramas that can explode, CCTV will explode even more, and dramas that cannot be exploded by other families, CCTV will also explode. The only one, no semicolon, this is CCTV.

Looking around at the national drama, there are no more types left that CCTV can't play, it's time to go to the urban emotional drama——

"The Sun Accompanies Me".

Nowadays, the urban emotional theme, the trump card of the national drama, has entered a bottleneck period, except for the dog-blood urban love triangle, cheating and catching rape three-piece, it seems that there is nothing new to shoot.

Plus it is the type of sibling love that often rolls over, starring Xiao Zhan and Bai Baihe, who don't seem to fit together.

Can this work?

As a result, two episodes premiered, with an average of 1.47 and a peak of 1.5977 in Kuyun, the highest rating in the same period in five years.

Looking at the word of mouth again, Douban slid into applause.

Sure enough, it has to be Yang's mother, and this "Bright Sun with Me" has indeed made the urban emotional drama that has lost its shine for a long time shine with new brilliance.

When domestic urban dramas collectively fall into a levitation trap and gradually lose love, CCTV dramas, why is the sun shining?

Stay up late on the webcast platform to chase 5 episodes in a row, it's time, break and understand.

01. When a newcomer with a monthly salary of 4,000 encounters a lost marriage in the industry, the chemical reaction will come!

Sheng Yang, played by Xiao Zhan, has been living a little suffocated recently.

Shengyang is a newcomer designer with an ordinary family and warm parents, and a standard contemporary social animal.

The monthly salary is 4,000, but the days are stunned, and the sun is shining.

Every morning, wear headphones to catch the morning subway to the office to clean up, and then wait for the day to come.

But what can wait is a double crit in life.

The first is the daily workplace PUA brought by the boss who is not a person.

First, he was sent by his boss to buy coffee for everyone at the meeting, and he was forcibly treated.

What's even more infuriating is that his own ideas are also sold by his boss.

Refusing to bow his head, he was rectified by his superiors, arranged for the work he could not complete at all, and waited for him to soften...

A lot of torture has already choked Shengyang enough.

But there are more ruthless.

The second is the endless blind date bureau and parents urging marriage.

The old mother bought him clothes for a blind date, and he had to use discounted clothes as a metaphor to complain about his son on the spot.

With a salary of 4,000 a month, the blind date has to be frightened at the high-end restaurant at a glance at the menu price, and the girl has not yet come.

This is enough to be disturbing, but when I went to work the next day, I met a modern girl wearing sunglasses and complaining about blind date men on the phone, "I will arrange my own affairs, and I don't care about what you are prosperous." ”

Fate is a bridge, and the new colleague is the girl who released the pigeons last night.

Sheng Yang smiled sarcastically,

Since then, the girl has been addicted, and also started the career of the male protagonist who is obsessed with the sister.

Since then, Shengyang has had a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks in the workplace: the brother who rubs rice every day and lets him help with the rush work, and the girl who loves him without discussion.

More annoying.

But all these troubles did not make him more embarrassed by the next chance encounter.

Shengyang entered the industry because he saw a public service advertisement by Jian Bing (Bai Baihe), a well-known advertising director in the industry, 10 years ago.

I thought that the goddess was only in my heart, but after an unsuccessful blind date, I met the director's sister at the candlelight dinner scene, alone.

Jian Bing, the queen of the sassy workplace, just filed for divorce from her cheating husband Xue Yiming, came to the hotel to eat and drink alone, and when she looked back at Shengyang peeking at her, she thought he had taken a fancy to her steak.

What's more, in the back, seeing the director's sister drunk and walking out, Sheng Yang was relieved to follow all the way, but was treated as a hooligan by the director's sister, and a vase was smashed over.

Next, he was played hooligan on the spot by the hangover director's sister, "The standard of hooligans is so high now." ”

Happiness came too suddenly, Shengyang's little eyes did not have time to be shy, and directly came to a nearby hotel with the goddess sister, originally wanted to book a single room, but the sister came up and asked for the largest big bed room.

A look at the price, a deposit of 500.

Endured the pain of swiping the card, and charged his sister's charging treasure, and when he woke up the next day, his sister V him 5000, and told his girlfriend that he saw righteousness and bravery.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to meet the director's sister who had a hangover, and he sent his sister home alone.

Shengyang has lived this day, the whole stimulus.

How the story of this pair of urban men and women with a difference of 10 years next develops, without spoilers, leave it to everyone to see for themselves.

From the first few episodes of "The Sun Accompanies Me", it can be clearly felt that it is different from other urban emotional dramas.

Whether it is the PUA of the boss in the workplace, the naivety of the blind date girl, or the emotional interaction between the male and female protagonists encountering each other twice, the audience can experience a strong sense of reality.

Although there is no fierce conflict, no bloody plot, and no common urban emotional drama male and female protagonists meet in a 360-degree circle.

But just that feeling of workplace + urban love can instantly let the audience into the play.

Who hasn't been abused in the workplace? Who hasn't found that they have nothing when they are moved by love in the vast city?

These common memories of everyone are the chips for "The Sun with Me" to create a sense of immersion, and it is also the reason why it can enter the hearts of the audience and accompany the sun.

02, three pairs of urban love to explain three emotions, love is not only love, but also reality, workplace and people's hearts

The screenwriter of this play, Li Xiao, is the ace screenwriter of the domestic urban emotional drama, and his masterpiece "Big Husband" won the best screenplay of Magnolia, and the most outstanding thing in this drama is the sibling love in Yu Feihong's play.

Many viewers think that the core of "The Sun Accompanies Me" is sibling love, but after watching the first five episodes, I found that the series actually tells the love and humanity of the city through a bunch of love men and women in the drama.

There is the happiness of CP stewed in the play, as well as the subtle depth of human nature in marriage, and the discussion of the nature of love.

Three pairs of love combinations, have explained the unspoken rules about adult love.

The first pair: Shengyang and Jian Bing, urban sibling love template.

This pair of male and female protagonists is the official CP of the whole drama, representing the "brave dream" of urban men and women, and the "rechargeable love" of mutual healing.

At the beginning of the story, Jian Bing only regarded the male protagonist as a little fart child he met on the road, and a handsome brother who saw righteousness and bravery, but it was different in Shengyang's heart.

He has been secretly in love with the goddess for a long time, and he wants to confess, but he can't open his mouth, so he can only silently guard the goddess who has two hangovers.

Shengyang was like a "little transparent", and from beginning to end, Jian Bing ignored it.

This opening explains the most important problem of sibling love, not only the surprised eyes of the outside world, but Jian Bing has faced a mid-life crisis, Shengyang is still a newcomer who has been led PUA in the workplace, and the difference in life status is the biggest obstacle for couples with a large age gap.

But the most moving thing about love is that it can break the shackles and turn the impossible into a possibility.

Although Shengyang has nothing, she has no original intention of being polluted by the adult world, which is why Jian Bing was slowly attracted to him later, in addition to the hot love of young people, but also because Shengyang reminded her of her younger self.

Shengyang charged her not only the electricity of the mobile phone, but the electricity in life, when the two people warm each other, the age difference is not important, this is the love that each of us yearns for.

The second pair: Jian Bing and Xue Yiming, the lost love of a middle-aged man and woman.

This love tells the audience that love is not enough for a while.

Jian Bing is the apprentice of Xue Yiming, played by Tian Yu, who was a teacher-student love back then, and came together for more than ten years, whether it is emotions or career, it has become a community.

As Tian Yu said, our business and customers are all a whole, how to divide them?

Although Xue Yiming cheated but was not the worst scumbag, Tian Yu's comedy performance made the role more likable.

Cheating across the road was seen by his wife, directly squatted, pretended not to see, everything did not happen.

The best thing about this relationship is that the emotional dialogue between mature men and women is too real.

Bai Baihe said the reason for her husband's cheating, "Only by tossing can you prove that you are not old." ”

At that time, their communication was a two-way love.

But the golden boy and jade girl in the advertising industry, the emotions of more than ten years are still consumed by work and temptation.

Is it enough to have love in marriage?

"The Sun Accompanies Me" tells us with a deeper story that it is not enough.

Because of love, it will really disappear.

So the important thing is not to find an iron rice bowl of love that does not exist, but to have the ability to withdraw from a disappearing love at any time, such as Jian Bing.

The third pair, Sheng Qianqian (played by Yang Haoyu) and Luo Meijuan (played by Wang Lin), are in love with each other's parents.

The rivalry of this old husband and wife is the most grounded existence in the whole drama.

It is more emotional to put this pair of love and the previous pair together, success does not necessarily guarantee the life of love, and it is okay to foam at each other.

Watching this 50-year-old couple discuss their son's love issues, you can feel that the years have smoothed out all the potholes in the relationship between the two, you are me, I am you.

Out of the exchange of benefits of adult marriage, love for them seems to no longer exist, and seems to have been integrated into every daily life.

"The Sun Accompanies Me" draws a picture of urban love for us through these pairs of love.

The story covers the emotional confusion and entanglement of different ages of old, middle-aged and young people.

Love is like the sun in the sky, the sun rises and sets, sometimes visible, sometimes invisible, sometimes obscured by dark clouds, but the heart that longs for love is the same.

People of any age will look forward to having the sun with me.

03, Xiao Zhan's relaxation, Bai Baihe's calmness, and Tian Yu's amusement have given the urban theme a new trick

Here, I want to praise Xiao Zhan.

Any urban emotional drama is not the result of the efforts of an actor, and it must be played by all the members to look good.

But Xiao Zhan's Shengyang, the name of the character has been pointed, accompanied by the sun, if this little sun can't be acted, the drama will definitely not be good.

This role is not small difference from Xiao Zhan's past roles, whether it is an urban drama or a fairy drama in the past, most of Xiao Zhan played a calm and wise elite type, but Sheng Yang is a young man who has just joined the work and lives hard every day.

But as soon as Xiao Zhan appeared, he performed that sense of immaturity and youth, and stood the characters.

In order to show the tenderness of the role, some young actors will use that set of exaggerated acting with teeth and grinning, but Xiao Zhan's performance is stable, restrained and life-oriented.

On the one hand, the character has a kind of young people's blood, high-spirited, self-motivated, and unconsciously rushing forward.

On the other hand, Shengyang also has the dilemma of urban youth in reality, going to order food in high-end restaurants, feeling that he should not be on the table, he should be under the table.

When you meet a favorite goddess, from evasive eyes, careful temptation to casual expression of true feelings, it is all appropriate.

Loving someone can't be hidden, look at Xiao Zhan's eyes looking at the heroine in the play, the sweetness of love really overflows the screen.

But a good opening is not enough, the most interesting point of Shengyang's role is to see the growth and changes of newcomers in the workplace, and there is still a lot of room for role play, and I hope to see Xiao Zhan's more brilliant performance.

Besides, the heroine Bai Baihe, her performance did not live up to expectations.

It can be seen that Bai Baihe still retains the performance style in his chick movies in some clips, especially the two scenes of drunkenness, which is a piece of cake for Bai Baihe.

But I was more pleasantly surprised by Bai Baihe's calmer performance.

Jian Bing is a mature urban woman who has experienced the ups and downs of life, and decency is required at all times.

Therefore, even if he saw his husband shopping with a beautiful woman, he would not be squirted, and Bai Baihe's performance was to look at his husband coldly, and he was extremely disappointed and did not show it.

Going home to sharpen the knife Huo Huo and other cheating men, quietly and quietly proposing divorce conditions, Bai Baihe completely performed the mature woman's control of her life and emotions.

I think the crew has found the right male and female protagonists.

But the supporting role is something else.

First, Tian Yu.

The role of Xue Yiming is probably the least annoying cheating man in urban dramas, because Tian Yu plays the role too cute, and complains to his ex-wife in person: "Are you mature?" When did you men mature? So all love is sibling love."

He can say with a smile that he is an "old baby".

Over there is the "rechargeable love" of a beautiful sister and a handsome brother, and his side is the "discharge love" of the adult world.

The discharge process is so natural, making people sigh that life is like this, and successful middle-aged men cheating are not necessary for blood, it may just be the ordinary life.

Second, Zhu Zhu.

The heroine girlfriend played by Zhu Zhu is as beautiful as ever.

I love watching her talk to Bai Baihe's girlfriend who is full of tiger and wolf words. "Nothing happened to you and him." "What happened, you can still say that he saw righteousness and courage." "What happens, it's really called righteousness and courage."

Now Zhu Zhu really knows how to act, there is a scene where she and Tian Yu are looking for the drunk Bai Baihe, when she gets home, the light is on, Zhu Zhu gets out of the car to check, and sees the two pairs of shoes at the door, and quickly covers her girlfriend, let Tian Yu send her home quickly, and smile on her face while speaking.

This is called the performance of the play.

Third, Xiang Hanzhi.

Xiang Hanzhi, who played Guo Qilin's girlfriend in "Ordinary Road", handed over a good performance.

From the arrogant and rich woman who complained about the blind date man at the beginning, to the fan girl who was addicted to the male protagonist and could not extricate himself, Xiang Hanzhi's performance was natural and smooth, and very accurate.

Especially the pet scene with the male protagonist's brother completely hit my laughter, and a silent quarrel scene between the two after being silenced by the male protagonist made people sigh the essence of the quarrel.

I think the young actress still has a lot to offer.

Fourth, Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's performance this time is impressive.

Because Wang Lin has played too many Chinese drama ladies in the past, this is the case with "Her City" next door, but this time she played Luo Meijuan, the old mother of the market who focused on discounted clothes in supermarkets.

I saw that she couldn't stop laughing when she bought clothes for Shengyang, and she only sold more than 500 clothes at a discount to 150, and also called her son to try the goods in advance.

All the way, Zhang Luo's son's blind date is appropriate and funny, reminiscent of his own mother in minutes, wonderful.

Fifth, Han Qiuchi.

This low-key powerful male protagonist boss must be the person that the audience wants to fight the most in the opening scene.

Flattering the upper sycophant and suppressing the lower daily life, running errands to let subordinates come, taking the credit for themselves, stealing Shengyang's ideas and being justified, it is exactly the same as countless small leaders in reality, which can make the audience sigh "I understand Shengyang's pain", which shows that his performance shows life.

04, I don't want to praise CCTV, but CCTV can break the game every time

Urban emotional drama, not easy to shoot.

First, there are too many existing stories, and it is easy to fall into the trap.

Second, the audience's daily aesthetic fatigue is easy to habitually complain.

However, "The Sun Accompanies Me" uses two axes to make this long-rusted theme emit a new light.

The first axe is the control of workplace reality.

The workplace at the beginning of the series is infuriatingly real.

It makes people want to put their hands into the screen and point to the male protagonist's boss: The coffee money is still Shengyang, and the plan is still Shengyang.

But the most exciting thing is that the series captures the daily sense of the workplace.

In the past, when domestic urban dramas were filmed, the workplace was where the boss held a meeting to throw the documents on the heads of his subordinates, and he must have an aura of one meter eight when walking, but no one knows what this group of people did.

And the meeting of this play is really a meeting, the work is not a pose, it is a group of people really dealing with Party A.

Not only do men mainly deal with various workplace PUA stay up late design schemes, but female protagonists are elites in the industry, and they also have to face the whims of customers.

The director also did not write the drama as a cool drama, and Sheng Yang was harassed by his boss at the department dinner.

A bottle of beer went on like this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he thought he was going to open it.

Unexpectedly, he would have two words next: Gou.

This is the stumbling workplace fireworks. Superiors are difficult, Party A is difficult, workplace PUA, self-doubt, but life has to go on.

This is the reality of the workplace.

The second axe is a realistic presentation of urban love.

Director Song Xiaofei is worthy of the industry's own photography that has shot blockbusters such as "Thailand", the shot scheduling and use of light with a sense of life in the series, without abusing filters, but when necessary, there will be beautiful displays, such as the male protagonist's memories and the female protagonist's first encounter.

Behind the short dream shot, it actually represents the heart of the male protagonist: the memory is as beautiful as a dream, but it is the test to turn the dream into reality.

Love is not the whole story, but love is part of the dream.

The so-called blazing sun accompanies me, for the male and female protagonists, love is not the sun, the hope in life brought by love is.

In the past, domestic urban emotional dramas always put love in a spotless high-class window——

Handsome men and beautiful women, fragrant car mansions, perfect characters, as if people don't need to work, revolve around love 24 hours a day...

As if love is too expensive for mortals to reach.

"The Sun Accompanies Me" is saying that no matter who it is, no matter what age, you need to love and be loved, but the premise of love is to dress and eat, so love and the workplace are inseparable.

With or without love, people have to make money to live, and as long as you still believe, love will always come.

Because love is not in the window of domestic urban dramas, but the most accessible miracle for ordinary urban professionals.

It is the sun that everyone can see when they look up.
