The ratings champion was the first to start broadcasting, and CCTV got the ratings password again, opening the era of transformation of urban dramas

Whether in reality or in film and television works, the end of all rape stories will develop into a war between two women, and the scumbag is not only invisible, but may even have a better ending.

Although Gu Jia tears green tea by hand to make the audience applaud, in the end, she still has to bear the debt for Xu Fengshan.

"My First Half of Life" Luo Zijun became a shoe seller after he suffered cheating, and his ex-husband Chen Junsheng took Xiao San Lingling to be happy.

There is also "Our Marriage" Jiang Jing was not only cheated by her husband in marriage, but even transferred the joint property of the husband and wife, and was not only killed in the marriage, but also passive.

Similar plots frequently appear in film and television dramas, indicating that although such a story is blocked, it does not deviate from reality, and there are indeed many similar things in life.

However, as contemporary women become more and more self-aware, this kind of plot that makes scumbags retreat and live at leisure is obviously no longer in line with the values of today's audience.

CCTV keenly grasped the emotional changes of the audience and boldly launched a cool drama, vowing to make scumbags pay the price, so that women who are hurt in marriage will no longer compromise to make a difference.

It is precisely the large-scale urban emotional drama "Good Things Become Pairs" starring Zhang Xiaofei and Huang Xiaoming that was broadcast on CCTV's eight sets.

The premiere of the show won the throne of the prime-time ratings champion of the day, and the ratings of the next day climbed, and CCTV got the rating password; And the online popularity of this drama is also strong, and it is the first in the TV series hot search list as soon as it is broadcast.

After watching 7 episodes in one breath, Tomato Jun feels that this drama will definitely lead the new trend of urban emotional dramas!

First, the original match, the junior teamed up to fight the scumbag

Lin Shuang (played by Zhang Xiaofei) is a winner in life in the eyes of everyone, with excellent grades in school, and her husband has a successful career after starting a family, and many people envy her for being a full-time wife who does not worry about her livelihood.

Lin Shuang was also very satisfied with her life at the beginning, feeling that she had a self-motivated and family-oriented husband and a lovely daughter, so even if she buried her talent as a housewife, she was willing to do so.

But all this has changed because of a nail piece.

One day, Lin Shuang collected the dirty clothes taken off by her husband Wei Ming (played by Li Zefeng) as usual to prepare for cleaning, but turned out a nail piece in the pocket of his clothes.

The woman's intuition told Lin Shuang that Wei Ming had cheated, and the first object of her suspicion was a colleague of Wei Ming's company, after all, he was busy with work and spent most of his time in the company.

Lin Shuang did not make a big fuss, but quietly went to the office to bring coffee to everyone in the name of condolences for her husband's subordinates, and quietly observed everyone's nails in the process of delivering coffee to everyone.

In the end, the owner of the nail really let her find it, it was her husband's subordinate, the young and beautiful clerk Jiang Xi (played by Zhang Jiani).

Lin Shuang's reaction at the beginning was the same as most of the original partners, intending to use the mistress as a breakthrough to persuade her to take the initiative to withdraw from her marriage, but she soon discovered that Jiang Xi was not a good stubble, and she also swore that Wei Ming would definitely divorce and be with her.

However, what made Lin Shuang more devastated than Xiaosan's arrogant attitude was that she gradually discovered that her "good gentleman" Wei Ming was actually a lying and selfish person.

In order to date his lover, he made an appointment with his daughter's kindergarten sports day; disappeared when her daughter was ill and spent the night hanging out with her lover; He has always created the image of a good husband and a good father, all of which are tools to win the favor of customers...

Her husband's infidelity and irresponsibility made Lin Shuang cold, and she began to reject Wei Ming's contact, which also aroused Wei Ming's suspicions. When Lin Shuang reacted, he found that Wei Ming had secretly transferred property behind her back, and used the joint property of the husband and wife to buy a villa for his father-in-law, and the house book only had the name of the old man, and there was no Lin Shuang.

Fortunately, Lin Shuang did not intend to struggle more in the marriage, and after discovering the truth, she resolutely sold her wedding ring and consulted a divorce lawyer, but was told that her current situation was likely to leave the household, and she could not even win the custody of her daughter.

The lawyer advised her to stand still, thinking of getting back the property transferred by her husband and taking down the evidence of her husband's infidelity.

Lin Shuang thought again and again and chose a shocking method - joining forces with the junior.

Because she saw Wei Ming's personality clearly, he loved no one, only himself, such a person was not only for her, but also for other women.

Moreover, she accidentally learned that Jiang Xi often went in and out of the pawn shop and was a person who lacked money, so she put double pressure on Jiang Xi emotionally and financially.

And in the face of more and more Jiang Xi, Wei Ming also began to be impatient, revealing his selfish nature, and began to have the intention of getting rid of it, which also forced Jiang Xi to think about his own future, and finally agreed to cooperate with Lin Shuang for the first time.

The two agreed that Jiang Xi would take Wei Ming to an art exhibition, let Lin Shuang perform a catch on the spot, and take advantage of Wei Ming's guilt to let Lin Shuang get a sum of money from him.

The scheme really took effect, the East Window incident, Lin Shuang angrily slapped the scumbag Xiaosan, Wei Ming not only did not dare to attack, but lowered himself and did small, took the initiative to curry favor with Lin Shuang on the grounds of giving more living expenses, and transferred 100,000 yuan to her in one breath.

This 100,000, Lin Shuang will pay Jiang Xi a certain percentage of the percentage.

And this is only the first battle of Lin Shuang's counterattack, she does not want to be a person who has been betrayed and swept out, the goal is to get what she deserves and kick the scumbag angrily, and a property defense war has quietly begun.

Watching more scenes of women being weak and helpless after learning that their husbands are cheating, can only wash their faces with tears, and are finally swept out and unable to fight back, suddenly a role that takes the initiative to fight back and wants to bite off a piece of meat of the scumbag is really surprising and gratifying.

And the setting of teaming up with the junior to fight the scumbag, there is a sense of causal fatalism of treating the other way back, and it gives people a sense of pleasure that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, no wonder the ratings and popularity are good.

Second, the actors' acting skills are online, and each character is full and three-dimensional

In previous episodes, the relationship between the three is indispensable to the flat tool man.

For example, Lin Youyou in "Thirty Only", knowing three when three, her original intention of so-called love and entanglement actually cannot withstand scrutiny.

But in "Good Things in Pairs", it is rare to let every character in this complex relationship have a reasonable footing, coupled with the wonderful interpretation of the actors, so that the three characters are very full and vivid.

First of all, let's talk about the original Zhang Xiaofei, the popularity of "Hello Li Huanying", Zhang Xiaofei's image of a virtuous wife and good mother has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes her Lin Shuang have a unique advantage, and it will make the audience have a feeling that she has paid a lot for her family without deliberately performing.

But if there is only virtuous, it is not good to play Lin Shuang. Because Lin Shuang is a woman with ideas and can be ruthless. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofei showed a shrewd and strong side that was rarely shown in the play.

There is a scene in the play, it is Lin Shuang who accompanies Wei Ming to a dinner party, and halfway through the dinner, she receives a text message from Jiang Xi, saying that this skirt is actually Wei Ming planning to buy and give her, and also said that the skirt is one size smaller, asking Lin Shuang if it is still appropriate to wear?

In the face of the naked provocation, Lin Shuang was angry and embarrassed behind his back, but his face did not show half a point, only a smile to the other party to return a voice, saying that the skirt was very good, but it was too dusty, and also "thoughtfully" expressed that he understood that Jiang Xi had no chance to attend this kind of occasion, and it was no wonder that she would choose the wrong skirt.

When Zhang Xiaofei acted in this scene, she first showed her boredom and anger at her husband's betrayal and the mistress's door-to-door provocation, and the moment she picked up her mobile phone, she could see that she was trying her best to suppress her anger, but in the end she gave the third party a beautiful counterattack.

Through this interpretation of restrained anger, you can feel that Lin Shuang is not a weak person, but at the same time, Zhang Xiaofei performed the powerlessness that although he won verbally, he completely lost in marriage, which is extremely real.

Looking at Zhang Jiani's Jiang Xi, the role of the junior should have been hated, but Zhang Jiani, with his own interpretation, actually made the audience feel that hateful people must have pity.

Jiang Xi did not know three to be three at first, but was deceived by Wei Ming, and when the two were already in love, she knew that she was a junior, but Wei Ming hung her on the grounds that she would divorce.

Another reason why Jiang Xi couldn't leave Wei Ming was because she had a younger brother who gnawed her sister at home, a pair of patriarchal parents.

The younger brother graduated from a prestigious university, but his eyes were high and low, and he thought about starting a business every day and refused to find a job, living in Jiangxi's and eating Jiangxi's; And the parents even asked Jiang Xi for money twice in three days, but in fact, they all changed the law to save up their daughter's money for their son.

So the role of Jiang Xi is actually a little separated, in front of outsiders, she is a glamorous, charming and seductive third party, but back to the shabby rental house, she is just a poor woman who is squeezed by her relatives.

Zhang Jiani perfectly integrates the two separated images, especially the picture of sacrificing dignity and taking a self-portrait in the mirror after Lin Shuang's acting is slapped, and the emotions of self-esteem and self-pity are undoubtedly expressed, which not only shows the bad of the third party, but also shows the difficulty under the pressure of the original family, which makes people hate and pity.

After this battle, Li Zefeng has become the strongest scumbag professional in Tomato Jun's heart.

In "Thirty Only", he is enough scum, but in "Good Things in Pairs", he vividly interprets what it means that there is no scum, only more scum.

Li Zefeng can be said to have completely captured the essence of playing a scumbag, and when a good man who plays games with his daughter and can make cakes to make his wife happy, and a scumbag who openly cheats with female subordinates in the office, the impact on the audience is more significant.

Wei Ming's scumbag face is also reflected in the impatience he inadvertently shows when facing his wife, and the groundless accusations when arguing, always trying to blame all the fault on the other party's doubts, and shaping himself as a victim, which can be said to be the usual trick of scumbags.

The most successful embodiment of playing a negative role is to make the audience hate their teeth, and obviously Li Zefeng did it.

Huang Xiaoming, as one of the leading actors, did not have a heavy role in the first few episodes, but just a few appearances have given people a glimpse of the success of his Gu Xu's career, and he has been secretly interested in Lin Shuang for many years. This role is a little similar to the abundance in "War of the Roses", I believe Huang Xiaoming will definitely be able to play it well.

It is precisely because each character is full and three-dimensional enough that the story will stand up to scrutiny.

Third, the era of transformation of urban dramas has begun

In fact, the plot of the heroine restarting and creating a career after encountering a marriage change is not new, and many dramas about women's themes are set like this.

But such episodes have one thing in common, that is, the growth of women after divorce is guided by another person of the opposite sex.

But "Good Things in Pairs" is different, Lin Shuang's counterattack has begun without meeting Gu Xu, including reemployment is also something she is fighting for, and the male protagonist does not have many scenes even in the seventh episode.

This change may seem insignificant, but it is actually a big step, women's happiness no longer needs male salvation, but rely on themselves to fight, a good man will be part of their happy life, but not the role of leadership, but more reflects women's control of their own destiny.

This further development of values will inevitably become a new trend, and the subsequent urban dramas should also transform in this direction, which is likely to become a drama that opens a new era.

If you haven't seen it yet, then don't miss it.
