The Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon is approaching, and the comedy on the screen sings the leading role. On the screen, there are as many as 5 comedies among the 7 movies scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year;On the screen, on January 25, the famous comedian Gong Hanlin served as the chief director and screenwriter for the first time40 episodes of the urban inspirational comedy "My Family Married Mulan" premiered exclusively on LeTV Video "VOD Hall". Mango TV is also coming soon.
Through the three story lines of the workplace, the set and the family, the play uses a light comedy style close to life, fresh and humorous, showing workplace injustice, business wars, love and family affection and other hot social topics. There are many laughs, but also practical significance.
The part-time job version of "Mulan" speaks for women in the workplace
When it comes to Gong Hanlin, many viewers will think of classic Spring Festival Gala sketches such as "So Packaged", "Adventures of Part-time Job", "Veterans Out" and other classic Spring Festival Gala sketches that he collaborated with Zhao Lirong and Jin Zhu back then. These sketches were loved by audiences across the country for their strong comedic effect and satire, and he became a household name as a comedian.
In the past ten years, Gong Hanlin has not appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for a long time in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, but he has not stopped exploring the art of comedy, starring and starring in many film and television works, most of which are comedies. In the process, he has accumulated more experience in comedy creation.
On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, with the launch of "My Family Married Mulan", Gong Hanlin met the audience for the first time as a TV series director and screenwriter. Similar to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala sketches he starred in in the past, the show is also a comedy that focuses on reality, and this time, he turned his attention to workplace sexism.
Gong Hanlin has served as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for three consecutive terms, talking about the original intention of the creation of the play, he revealed to the media that he heard the female members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) on the gender discrimination against women in the workplace.
The heroine in the play, Jin Yingjie (played by Xi Wang), encountered various setbacks in the process of job hunting, an important reason is simply because she is a woman, in the face of the public discrimination of some companies "only recruiting boys, not girls", she does not bow to fate, and she disguises herself as a man and joins Hao Xin's (played by Gong Tiankuo) clothing company as a "male secretary", which can be called a part-time job version of "Mulan", which leads to a series of ridiculous stories, and she has also proved her ability again and again...... Who says women are inferior to men?
In recent years, workplace-themed film and television works have been loved by the audience. For example, the TV series "Imperfect Victim" and "News Queen" broadcast last year, and the workplace comedy movie "Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" released on New Year's Day this year won the emotional resonance of the audience with its good reputation, and the box office has exceeded 1.1 billion yuan.
"My Family Married Mulan" has just been broadcast, and it is still difficult to conclude whether it can win the favor of the audience, but Gong Hanlin's original intention of opposing gender discrimination against women in the workplace is worthy of recognition.
gathered 21 cross talk actors to create a precedent for film and television creation
As a comedy broadcast on the eve of the Spring Festival, the second highlight of "My Family Married Mulan" is that Gong Hanlin invited 21 cross talk actors and many comedians to star and participate, which can be called a precedent for domestic film and television creation in this regard.
The play is directed by Gong Hanlin, Jin Lei, Yingning, Gong Tiankuo, Xi Wang, Gong Hanlin, Jin Zhu, Xu Xiyan, You Xianchao starring, Fang Qingping, Li Weijian, Bai Kainan, Miao Fu, Liu Liu, Liu Hui, Pan Changjiang, Li Jing, Mao Wei, He Yunwei, Chi Yongzhi, Hou Zhenpeng, Chen Yinquan, Wang Yuning, Hui, Wan Yu, Fu Qiang, Chen Xi, Hou Linlin, Guo Tianyi, Wang Lan, Fang Yuanyuan, Yin Beichen, Wang Xinyue, Wang Xiaoying, Li Xuege, Huang Doudou, Gao Yixin and many other cross talk and comedians. Audience friends who like cross talk and sketches will definitely find a lot of familiar names from the long list of actors above.
The reason why Gong Hanlin invited so many well-known cross talk actors to star in his first TV series is because of his cross talk complex. On the other hand, as early as 2008, Gong Hanlin directed the stage comedy "Drama in and Out of the Play", and the actors selected were all cross talk actors, and obtained good results, so he directed the TV series for the first time, and he invited many cross talk actors to play again. Judging from the episodes that have been broadcast so far, everyone's interpretation and presentation of the roles are relatively in place.
After the filming of "My Family Married Mulan" was completed, after several twists and turns, it was finally scheduled to premiere exclusively on LeTV Video "VOD Hall" on January 25 this year, coinciding with the approaching Spring Festival, and watching comedy during the New Year has become a New Year's custom for Chinese audiences. This drama has an all-comedy lineup composed of many cross talk and sketch actors, which is very suitable for the audience to watch during the Spring Festival.
Do not pursue hilarious effects, full of warmth and positive energy
"My Family Married Mulan" has such a strong lineup of cross talk and comedians, but it does not blindly pursue hilarious comedy effects, let alone be funny for the sake of being funny, but strives to be close to reality and a light comedy that shows the normality of life. Because of this, it is not only a comedy TV series, but also a realistic work full of warmth and positive energy.
There are more than a dozen episodes that have been broadcast so far, and almost every episode has a warm episode of positive energy. Although the actor Hao Xin is a genuine "rich second generation", he has no pampered and arrogant son-in-law. When he returned from studying in the UK, he was not in a hurry to enter his own company, but first applied for a job to train himself, and soon showed his talented side at work, impressing the cold and arrogant beauty boss Li Lili (played by Xu Xiyan). He also took a video of the old lady suddenly falling ill and fainting in the vegetable market to prove the innocence of Jin Yingjie's father Jin Yuanbao (played by Fang Qingping).
The heroine Jin Yingjie is also full of positive energy. She is beautiful, intelligent, optimistic, and suffered setbacks and difficulties in the process of job hunting, but never gave up the struggle, after successfully joining the Good Luck clothing company in the form of a man, she helped the general manager Hao Xin and the company through the crisis with her own knowledge and ability.
Gong Hanlin played the chairman of the Good Luck Clothing Company Hao Yunlai is also upright, in the face of the beautiful female secretary Yang Chunhong's ill-intentioned temptation, he was unmoved and sternly refused, not only to keep his innocence, but also to make the company's vice president Wang Decai's attempt to "usurp" the conspiracy bankrupt, maintaining the normal development of the enterprise.
"My Family Married Mulan" tells a story full of warmth and positive energy in a humorous light comedy style, conveying positive values to the audience, which can be called an entertaining and educational urban workplace inspirational comedy.
