24 episodes of urban dramas are coming, please come to Charmaine Sheh Zhang Guoguo, there is a dark horse potential
"This shop, I said take it away. ”
Liang Qingran (Charmaine She) spoke to Gu Dapeng, the chef of the time-honored Sichuan White Building, with an arrogant face!
In the next second, a bowl of glutinous rice balls went down to the stomach, and the way of Sichuan cuisine was served.
"I am the one who wanted to change Sichuan cuisine, but was changed by Sichuan cuisine. ”
"Sichuan cuisine is not only a dish, but also an attitude towards life!"
I was drawn to a trailer. Beauty + food, the plot is humorous, the lines are profound, and the rhythm gives people an inexplicable sense of "coolness".
Tonight, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Goose Factory will start broadcasting, "Today's Them".
Another 24-episode female group drama is here.
The last popular and popular urban female group drama, which work do you think of?
It seems that only "Love is Delicious" is barely qualified, but that was already 3 years ago.
Last year's score broke 8 "Hometown, Don't Come to Harm" has a good reputation, but its popularity is average, far less than the sister article "I'm Good in Another Country", which also reflects the decline in the popularity of female group dramas.
In fact, in recent years, there have been many female dramas, such as "Ode to Joy 5", "Her City", etc., but there are almost no works that are really out of the circle, or they still follow the issues of marriage and love, workplace, and childbirth, and produce similar assembly line products.
Either it is gradually bloody, and a troublesome character is ridiculously crazy.
To put it bluntly, although there are many women's dramas, how many of them are really writing women's stories, presenting women's plight, and conveying women's power?
Perhaps, tonight's new drama can break the stereotype that "female group dramas are about filming women in various industries to fall in love".
Song Yi, Charmaine She, and Li Chun led the team, with Zhang Guoli, Zhang Chao, and Wang Renjun helping.
If the female group portrait drama suffers from the homogenization of aesthetic fatigue, then the medicine for the treatment of this drama is Sichuan cuisine.
Can it be cured?
How many dishes do you want to serve first?
1, story: beauty + food, the main Sichuan cuisine is fragrant, this plot is spicy enough
In recent years, there have not been many 24-episode urban female group dramas.
The story tells the story of the restaurant manager Lu Zhenzhen (played by Song Yi) After returning to Chengdu for love, he helped his best friend Gu Manting (played by Li Chun) to face the survival crisis of the time-honored Sichuan Bailou together, and the investor Liang Qingran (played by Charmaine She) did not know each other.
Combined with the trailer, tell the story of three highlights:
Highlight 1: Sichuan cuisine specializes in eating men and women
The so-called diet men and women, if they are not full, how to engage in a career and fall in love.
The biggest attraction of this drama is Sichuan cuisine.
The whole play revolves around the survival crisis of the time-honored Sichuan Bailou, and it is a good dish as soon as it opens.
In the shot, we can see how the aroma of oil slowly seeps out of the meat and how it seeps into the dish when Sichuan ham is boiled.
担担面，辣中带鲜，辣不压鲜。
Kung Pao Chicken, the warmth of the spicy is already looming, and it is about to come out.
Sichuan cuisine, known for its taste, has been constantly innovating after a hundred years of inheritance, so that those who have tasted it are hearty and fragrant, which can be called accommodating all kinds of ingredients.
But the Chinese food philosophy pays attention to the taste of life.
In the way of cooking, there is a truth of life, and the taste of Sichuan cuisine also carries the taste of life.
The story of this play is through the acquisition of a time-honored brand, stringing together the lives of two Sichuan girls and the intruder played by Charmaine Sheh.
In the trailer, the fireworks in the streets and alleys of Chengdu have been vividly displayed.
In the steaming aroma of vegetables, the three protagonists look for the answer to family, friendship, and love.
Highlight 2: The straight man beheads the goddess to support the painting style
The play arouses the feeling of love from the core of the plot, and the painting style is pleasing to the eye because of several female characters.
Among them, the three straight men beheaded the goddess Song Yi, Charmaine Sheh, and Li Chun can be said to support the painting style of the whole play.
Lu Zhenzhen, a Chengdu girl played by Song Yi, originally worked in a hotel in Beijing, but her boyfriend was invited to Chengdu by Charmaine Sheh, and she also returned to her hometown.
Li Chun's best friend Lu Zhenzhen, Gu Manting, who has a hot personality, has been staying in his hometown in Chengdu, which is full of fireworks, and assists his Sichuan celebrity chef father in running the time-honored restaurant "Sichuan White Building", which still exudes sassiness.
Charmaine Sheh's Leung Ching-ran has a sense of news queen turning to the catering industry and landing in Chengdu from Hong Kong.
The three women have their own characteristics in terms of personality, family environment, and workplace roles.
Highlight 3: The appearance of urban returnees that reflects reality
In addition to the interesting plot behind the three women in one play, the third highlight of the play is that there is a realistic social topic of returning home.
The heroine played by Song Yi was originally going back to her hometown for her boyfriend, but when she came back, her boyfriend was also lost. The food of her hometown healed her.
The city of Chengdu, casual, optimistic, free, returning travelers and visitors, chatting with a fan, drinking a bowl of tea and listening to music, unconsciously appreciate Chengdu's profound cultural heritage and strong human touch.
And as the plot deepens, people will more or less find the shadow of life in it.
Today's women are also today's us.
2, lineup: Song Yi, Charmaine Sheh leading, Zhang Guoli helping, "brother-in-law" are all male gods
Urban women's group portrait dramas hit the streets seriously, the first is the screenwriter, the story is not attractive, and everything is in vain.
"Today's Them" invited Qin Wen.
Everyone may not be familiar with the name Qin Wen, but when it comes to her "Flowers", "The First Half of My Life" and "Golden Years", everyone should have an impression.
plus the female director Du Xiaoyu, a female screenwriter, a female director, and the past hits continued, and they told the story of Sichuan cuisine of three women, this dish should not be much worse.
Of course, the performance of the actors is also the key to the good-looking of a female group drama.
The lineup of this play is not gorgeous, but the advantage is that every leading actor has the right taste, it is really delicious, and it does not have to be a full banquet.
The first place, Song Yi
Song Yi became famous with Yu Manli in the spy war drama "The Pretender", this role is decisive and ruthless, affectionate and righteous, which is really eye-catching.
After that, she became the darling of costume dramas, from "Celebrating More Than Years" to "Son-in-law", and then to "Changfeng Crossing", step by step to the heroine.
But her best is always the Republic of China dramas and costume dramas, and there are not many dazzling roles in urban dramas.
This time, she played Lu Zhenzhen, from being abused by her boyfriend at the beginning, giving up her career for love, to finding herself again in her hometown, she is a very three-dimensional role, I hope she can perform brilliantly this time.
second, Charmaine Sheh
Charmaine Sheh is standard for many years of vases boiled into the aftermath.
It's hard to imagine that she just debuted in her first drama "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and was scolded by Hong Kong audiences.
Until Liu Sanhao in "Palace Scheming", as his name suggests, "do good deeds, say good things, and have good intentions", his acting skills are still only up to standard.
Er Chun in "Golden Branches" is the first time the audience has seen the depth of Charmaine Sheh's acting skills, and she has completely let go of "Apostle Walker" and performed her own style.
In recent years, Hong Kong stars have been in domestic entertainment, but there are not many who have stood still, Charmaine Sheh has completely become an acting actress with the role of Concubine Xian, and the more than 8-minute one-man show of the blackened passage can be called an acting textbook.
went back to wirelessly filming "News Queen", and it was another hit.
With her acting skills and distinctive personality, Charmaine Sheh is an irreplaceable No. 1 person on the women's strong track.
In this play, she still plays the role of a female elite in the workplace from Hong Kong, who was murderous at the beginning, wanting to eat the time-honored brand in one bite, but in the end she was accepted by Chengdu, looking at Chinese actresses, there is really no more suitable candidate than her.
She plays this kind of role, which is not as stable as the Sichuan chef making husband and wife lung films.
third place, Li Chun
Li Chun has two completely two images in costume dramas, Republic of China dramas and urban dramas.
The manager of "Celebrating More Than Years", Liu Rusi of "New World", is stunningly smart, beautiful and sassy, and can be called a "straight man".
Li Chun in urban dramas, but most of them are such gentle and sweet characters in "Love is Delicious", no matter what she plays, her acting skills and appearance are enough.
fourth place, Zhang Guoli
Zhang Guoli has not had many dramas in recent years, but as long as he makes a move, most of them are ratings trump cards.
The old father he played in "Little Shede", half of him was warm and indifferent, full of human tension, and the series also exploded.
The best part of "Solid as a Rock" is his play with Yu Hewei.
The biggest highlight of Zhang Guoli's performance is that he has a sense of life, this time he plays the role of an old celebrity chef facing retirement from Sichuan Bailou, even if the people who bought the restaurant are killed, he is still calm and calm, "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time." ”
Watching him walk in the streets and alleys of Chengdu with his apprentices, I felt comfortable.
What I'm looking forward to most in this play is the rivalry between him and Charmaine Sheh, a chef who was acquired from a restaurant, and a female boss who came to buy, and finally became her own person.
The rivalry between these two acting schools must be enjoyable.
fifth, Wang Renjun
In the past, I also underestimated this actor, in "Know", he perfectly played the gentle and courteous, but in this group of dramas, it is not too eye-catching.
It wasn't until "Ask the Boundless" that he perfectly played a vigorous and worried teacher, which completely changed my impression of him.
Wang Renjun, it's definitely worth looking forward to.
In this play, he plays the role of a man who affects the two heroines, first the heroine played by Song Yi of domestic violence, and later the female tyrant played by Charmaine Sheh. I want to see how Wang Renjun plays the role of such a gentle scumbag.
sixth place, Zhang Chao
As soon as he played the new chef, I felt that Chuan Bailou must have been saved, because he had a reassuring face.
In the past few years, Zhang Chao has also experienced scandals, and what made him pass the test smoothly was his solid acting skills, "Chess Soul" and "Not a Problem", each of which is stable. The trailer is very good-looking, and the feature film will probably not be bad.
3, new flavor: It is difficult for a female group drama to sharpen a sword in three years? This drama may bring hope
Recently, spy war dramas have been out of the limelight.
A "Wind Chaser" washes away the long-term decline of spy war dramas.
However, not all audiences like spy war dramas, there are still many viewers who like urban dramas, women's dramas, and food dramas. After all, spy war dramas are too laborious, and it is not bad to watch a beauty + food drama for a change of taste.
But the premise is that the dish is tough.
mentioned at the beginning that the female group portrait drama actually experienced a round of silence after a blowout.
To put it bluntly, similar plots, everyone will be fresh when they watch it once, and they will be aesthetically tired when they watch it a second time.
With "I'm Good in Another Country" Zhuyu in front, the audience is a little tired of "Hometown, Don't Come to Harm".
"Thirty Only" played a junior, and the follow-up female group portrait dramas appeared in a bunch, and the homogeneous characters and copy-and-paste plots soon began to drive away customers.
The audience is tired of watching the glamorous sister, the cold girl, the ordinary girl, the rich second-generation scumbag, etc.
And those female group dramas that are really out of the circle often have their own killer features. "Thirty Only" shows female friendship for the first time, and "Twenty Don't Confuse 1 and 2" takes care of the whole process of women's growth from 20 to 30.
"I'm Good in Another Country" takes a different path and captures the ups and downs of urban female workers.
"Today's Them", what are their unique skills?
In my opinion, there is a golden sentence hidden in the series: Sichuan cuisine has twenty-four flavors, and life has a thousand flavors.
The drama is flavored with food, with three big heroines, a time-honored brand, and many Sichuan dishes cooked, and finally poured on the slow-boiling broth of urban life, focusing on the audience's taste buds.
What is left is the aftertaste of life.
I have watched a lot of urban dramas that are constantly grasping the third and third children, and occasionally come to such a fresh and appetizing kung pao chicken, which is another taste.
The demand is still there, and the female group drama will continue to be filmed, but there is no new template, and it is tiresome to watch too much. What the audience wants to see, in addition to novelty, is also the real care for women, not consumption.
Perhaps, like this drama, not deliberately amplifying contradictions and conflicts, putting women's plight and pressure on the table, and cooking a delicious Dandan noodle for the audience is the most correct way to open a women's drama.
