The CCTV urban drama "Fearless", which has a strong momentum on the air, has taken a huge turn in word-of-mouth in just a few days. The plot is suspended on top of real life, which makes the audience complain.
I don't know when it began, the "poverty" in domestic dramas has reached a level that is unbearable for the audience, and the poverty they say is completely better than the life of most people.
The directors relied entirely on their own imagination when filming, and they were not close to real life at all.
Urban dramas, in particular, have reached a dead end. People who consider themselves poor spend more generously than others. How can such an inconsistent plot resonate with the audience?
The rich and the "poor" in domestic dramas
Lu Hanming plays a poor boy in "Sweet Crit", and his younger brothers can only make a living by doing daily work, but this is only a superficial role given by the director.
In fact, he was not poor at all.
In Shenzhen, where land is expensive, he lives in a family duplex apartment with all the decorations. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young master of a wealthy family.
But Guan Xiaotong still had to sigh at the feeling of poverty for the first time in the play. The audience in front of the screen was confused and was dragged out of the three-room living room. If Lu Han in the play can be said to be poor, then people in real life are as poor as dust. Please forgive the audience for their shallow knowledge. For the first time, they learned that the poor could be so rich.
In this drama, Qi Wei even showed the audience the "life of a rich woman".
For a moment, I thought about how to pay my rent after losing my job, but when I got home, the audience was amazed.
Detached house, fully furnished, with large balcony on the second floor. Even the décor is full of life. For someone who is about to lose their job, this doesn't look like a house you can afford.
In contrast, even a professional lawyer is not able to enjoy such a mansion for the time being.
The quality of life in Ode to Joy 3 has improved significantly in the first part. In the first episode, Fan Shengmei, Guan Guan, and Qiu Yingying were crammed into an ordinary house. Although there are many people, it is still warm.
In the third season, each of the three girls has a room, each with a large balcony.
In the screenwriter's pen, Yu Chuhui is just a girl from an ordinary family, but she has just joined the job and can buy a shared apartment for 6,000 yuan, and the bed she bought is an imported product. Such an arrogant way of spending money is actually what the screenwriter said about a girl from an ordinary family.
Now look at Chu Yuxing in "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", she is not a child of a poor family at all. Even now, owning a family home with a garden is a huge expense. Even if you open a bubble tea shop, it only takes 100 square meters. According to the protagonists, how could such luxurious family conditions belong to a poor girl.
Even Luo Yingzi, the heroine of CCTV's popular TV series "Fearless", has 6 million. This is a huge amount in the eyes of the public, and it is simply outrageous.
"Poor" Luo Yingzi has six million in his hands
The screenwriter painstakingly created a pitiful image of Luo Yingzi, and put all the opportunities that a divorced woman could have on Luo Yingzi, thinking that this could lay the groundwork for Luo Yingzi's later counterattack.
Her husband, Liu Ming, disappeared without a trace on her thirtieth birthday, took all their possessions, and fled, leaving Luo Yingzi in debt.
Faced with the pit that Liu Ming dug for herself, Luo Yingzi stubbornly waited for her husband to come back and give herself a reasonable explanation. The heroine of "Childlike Heart" makes the audience not want to watch it for a second.
Not only that, but the mother-in-law also took her son's cheating for granted, and blamed Luo Yingzi and Liu Ming's marriage for all the changes. Such shocking words infuriated the audience.
After her husband called, Luo Yingzi's first sentence was to ask the reason. Despite knowing the truth of everything, Luo Yingzi decided to take on all the debts alone and awarded her husband the title of "not a bad person".
Such a brainless heroine in love actually studied law, not to mention that the audience is still looking forward to her later counterattack, and even the most basic rights and interests cannot be defended.
The screenwriter was likely to be sleepwalking when he wrote this TV series, and the plot was full of holes.
After meeting Luo Yingzi's parents, the audience finally understood that Luo Yingzi completely inherited her parents' views. It was clear that their daughter was being bullied. No parent can stand it, but they can't protect their daughter.
On the contrary, when her husband's parents returned to her hometown, Luo's father was busy taking care of her husband's parents. is so considerate, people who don't know still think that Liu Ming's parents are his family.
What makes the audience even more speechless is the definition of poverty in the play.
Luo Yingzi is in debt. It goes without saying that even maintaining a normal life is a huge problem for Luo Yingzi.
And Luo Yingzi, who has a monthly salary of 5,000, hired a nanny with a monthly salary of 6,000 to take care of her without saying a word. It's hard to imagine that Luo Yingzi is a debt-ridden person who would have such expenses.
The living environment standards of Luo Yingzi and the nanny are not very high, but the facilities at home are all available and the furniture is brand new. A house with such complete facilities will cost at least 3,000-4,000 yuan per month.
Not only that, Luo Yingzi also provided the nanny with a separate house to live in. Even the daily meals are three dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetables. People who don't know still think that Luo Yingzi is a rich woman who is not short of money.
However, Luo Yingzi's monthly income is only 5,000 yuan. How can tens of thousands of dollars a month be spent? Such superior living conditions make people in front of the screen think about it.
Luo Yingzi can be said to be a kind-hearted philanthropist. Even if the house no longer has the right to live, the house she sold to Boss Zhou is still worth 6.6 million.
But in the blink of an eye, Luo Yingzi spent 2 million to fight a lawsuit that she knew the result of. The heroine, who spent so much, turned out to be a poor person in the eyes of the screenwriter.
I asked the writers and directors of domestic dramas to go into real life and see what the real poor are like.
Shinho
In this drama "The Glory of the Fathers", the audience really saw the hardships of running for life.
Gu Changshan's family could only squeeze into the crowded kang. The furniture in the room was clearly old and old, and even the walls were covered in thick dirt.
Most of the daily meals have cucumber dipping sauce, and meatballs only appear on holidays.
Even when entertaining the leaders, the meal was only a few pots of vegetables and a little meat, not to mention that Gu Changshan was still a well-paid lumberjack at that time.
Feng Qin wears shabby sandals all year round. Even when buying shoes, I will wear shoes that are larger than my own size, just to save money and wear them for a few more years.
When Chen Xingjie took the college entrance examination, in order to save money, he went to a hotel far away from the test center. This is the budget-conscious life that the poor must live.
The drama "Hurricane" is very close to life.
Before Gao Qiqiang became the master, he was wearing a very worn jacket, and even the frayed edges of the plaid shirt underneath were clearly visible.
The lunch box used for eating, you can tell that many years have passed at a glance. The surface is pitted, but it is still reluctant to replace it again. The house they live in is also crowded. When he made dumplings for Gao Qiqiang, Gao Qiqiang couldn't hide the joy on his face. For the poor, dumplings are undoubtedly a luxury food.
The audience felt sorry for Gao Qiqiang when he sold fish, because he lived at the bottom, even if he was bullied by others, he could only look humble, with traces of hard work on his face.
That's why "Glory of the Fathers" and "Hurricane" were able to become famous in battle. The lifelike scenes resonated with the audience. On the contrary, TV dramas that talk about poverty are actually full of bright material.
Screenwriters and directors don't have to repeatedly emphasize the poverty of the protagonists. He lived the life of a rich man, but kept emphasizing that he was really poor. With such a plot that contradicts words and deeds, the audience will definitely laugh.
The premiere of "Fearless" received unanimous praise from the audience. thought that domestic dramas could finally have a realistic urban drama, but the drama quickly swept away the audience's expectations.
The plot with wrong views and the character settings that are completely out of life make the audience completely lose their trust in this drama. Even CCTV's golden signboard can't save the show's declining reputation.
The crew of domestic dramas should experience the lives of ordinary people more. Blindly immersed in the idealism of a better life, excellent works cannot be born at all.
It's no wonder that urban dramas have gone downhill now. The audience simply cannot be satisfied with the drama. The director abruptly turned the drama of everyday life into a fraudulent life, with the aura of the main character. Such dramas are not close to life. It won't impress the audience at all.
