"Chenghuan Ji" is considered to be a hit, and on the 4th day of its launch, the ratings broke 2.
But if you want me to say, the reason why "Cheng Huan Ji" is so popular is because there is no opponent at the same time.
In addition, the original work of Shitai was changed beyond recognition, and he learned enough to amplify the contradictions of vertical screen short dramas, which naturally attracted a group of audiences who love fast food.
But when you taste it carefully, it tastes like chewing wax, especially the mother figure played by He Saifei, which is suffocating for no reason.
There is no meaning here that Mr. He Saifei acted badly, the Golden Rooster Award actress is not in vain, it is completely a split caused by the magic change of the script.
The first half of this "Chenghuan Ji" is about a girl named Mai Chenghuan who was made difficult by her mother, who was very controlling, because of a major marriage event, and finally the marriage was stopped by accident. The growth process from "Chenghuan's knees" to "Chenghuan's own self".
So as a mother who loves her daughter deeply, she should have a complex change of mentality, why does she want her daughter to be happy, but also keep interfering?
In the original book, Mai Chenghuan's mother can be regarded as a model wife, a hard-working housewife, like our parents, who deducted herself to enrich their children.
Like all mothers, the child has too many unfulfilled expectations on her.
But when the daughter really wants to marry a rich man, her life has been going up step by step, looking back at her all the way down because she married her husband who drove for the rich. There is a kind of jealousy in my heart that I want to see my daughter somewhat embarrassed.
Moreover, the fiancé's family, who came from a solid background, was not only able to accept the disparity in status between the two families, but also prepared a marriage room for them decently. The inferiority complex in my mother began to cause trouble.
She has low self-esteem due to her own background, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon, so the imbalance in her heart makes her gradually have a kind of unreasonable strength, and she always tries to show off in marriage to make herself earn face.
In addition, on the eve of the wedding, her mother was reluctant, and the little flowers she watered with her heart were about to be lost, which caused her to panic unprecedentedly, so she wanted to participate in every process of the wedding.
To sum up, the mother is actually looking for a sense of existence that she has never lived for herself in this life, and uses a way that is almost to find fault to make others focus on herself. seems to be unreasonable, but it is actually a mother's self-outburst.
In the TV series, the external factors of mother's interference are narrowed. It is an infinite magnification of the class contradiction that the heroine of a poor family is looked down upon by her in-laws.
What kind of embarrassment at the dinner table, what kind of male protagonist mother Bao Nan, what kind of hard work to promote marriage for the sake of the project, it's very bloody.
In this way, the in-laws who look down on people will not marry their daughters if they are replaced by me, so why should the mother go crazy for no reason? It is as if she can sell her daughter for money, and all the complex psychology is only flattery at this moment.
I don't see how the warmth and contradictions between mother and daughter are organically combined, which is why I said earlier that it was suffocation for no reason.
The adaptation of the TV series is not unexpected, because of the ending of Yishu's original book, Mai Chenghuan and Yao Zhiming achieved an open marriage, which is obviously not the correct view of marriage and is not suitable for the screen.
But it doesn't change the gradual self-understanding of ordinary women to the story of dumping a weak rich second generation and finding a stronger rich second generation?
The IP adaptation respects the original work, a few simple words, but internal entertainment rarely does it, and if you look closely at Shitai's works, you almost can't escape the fate of the magic change.
