Love and brother and sister, can it be said together?
In fact, it is not to let brothers and sisters fall in love, but to let them, as siblings, watch each other find a partner to fall in love, and try their best to hide the relationship between themselves and their siblings, the bigger attraction than the CP line is the relationship between siblings, which is actually closer to the way of "Funny Family" and "Please Answer 1988".
Li Zhenshu, the PD of the variety show, mentioned in an interview, "The type of love variety can be broadened, if you regard love variety as a program type, it is easy to become very old-fashioned, but if you observe human psychology through the content framework of love, there can be many changes." She wants to introduce a richer and more multi-dimensional perspective into Lianzong and make Lianzong a guide to human observation.
Obviously, "Love Brothers and Sisters" brought Lianzong to the next level, and its explosion also made the market see that Lianzong can no longer attract people just by falling in love, and the audience wants to see more things in Lianzong.
More vivid and memorable guests
Lian Zong is a program that highly relies on the personal charm of the guests. It is true that the guests selected by the program team are often excellent in terms of appearance, family background, education, work and other conditions, and it seems that everyone is at the ceiling level in the blind date market.
But not everyone can get out of the circle. The guests who can get out of the circle must also superimpose super personal charm and extremely exciting story lines on these conditions. For example, Song Ji-ah in "Single is Hell" relies on the extremely rare pure lust tension in Han Zongli, Oh Young-joo in "Heart Signal 2" is the top Yibi Bai Moonlight, Kim Hyun-woo is the premier "big pig's trotter" in the history of Lian Zong, and the most brilliant thing in the first season of "Half-familiar Lovers" is Lola who is loved by everyone from the "funny girl who is not loved".
But once Lian Zong wants to follow the characters of these successful guests, the script is too heavy, and it is easy to arouse the disgust of the audience. For example, the second season of "Half-familiar Lovers" was accused by the audience of some guest characters directly copying the first season and engaging in stand-in literature, and the final popularity and word-of-mouth were far behind the first season. Therefore, if Lianzong wants to keep it fresh, it is necessary to constantly appear guests with unique charm and style.
"Brothers and Sisters in Love" almost achieves the ceiling in this regard. The three pairs of brothers and sisters and two pairs of sisters and brothers brought together by the program team, each of them has a very strong memory point, especially the first male and the third male, which are unprecedented in the love series, and the degree of discussion, character novelty, and fan attraction is also extremely high.
The first male is a "love bastard" with a super sense of relaxation, and when the other male guests in the show were playing basketball to show their charm, he was too lazy to join because he didn't want to sweat. Later, I finally decided to play badminton to participate, and I fell and injured my finger in less than two minutes, so I rushed to the hospital, and when I traveled with two female guests, I also pinned a beautiful hairpin in my hair, and the atmosphere was like a sister's tea party.
The third male is a "brother-in-law hunter", he seems to care more about finding a brother-in-law than finding a partner for himself, and he is super blunt and sensitive, he is often out of the situation when he dates female guests, and he meets the ideal brother-in-law is quite up, and he has already conceived the warm situation of having dinner with his sister and brother-in-law's family of three before the eight characters have been skimmed.
These unconventional guests will make most of the audience instinctively block the idea of "this is the script, this is the character design". Their oblique performance makes them look like a real and concrete person who walks independently, rather than one of the parties in a certain type of love CP set by the program team.
Returning from "lover" to "person" can make the audience change from the perspective of observing lovers to the perspective of observing people, and also get their charm from the perspective of non-sexual relationship, which may be the most brilliant love variety guest. The personal charm of high-quality love drama guests is infinitely amplified in the show, and at the same time, the charm of the show will also be amplified, and the show will achieve each other.
More diverse and down-to-earth guest careers
It is undeniable that many guests participate in the show to become Internet celebrities, or even if a small number of people don't have this idea at first, their popularity soared after the show, and their fans increased sharply, so they became Internet celebrities. This is understandable, in the era of Internet celebrity economy, there are people shouting at Lei Jun's short videos to ask him to take over the advertisement, and it is naturally difficult for amateur elites to withstand the huge benefits brought by being Internet celebrities.
But there is still a big difference between becoming an Internet celebrity after participating in the show and being an Internet celebrity before participating in the show. You must know that the amateur love variety is to give excellent amateurs a place to show themselves and develop intimate relationships, the focus is to resonate with most amateur viewers in front of the screen by showing the life and love status of amateurs, and Internet celebrities have poured in, which is actually depriving amateurs of the space for amateur discourse in variety shows.
It's a pity that it is an indisputable fact that the content of amateurs is decreasing, but more and more Internet celebrities or eighteenth-tier actors are pouring into this track.
In the first season of "Half-familiar Lovers", there was also a social animal female guest Luo Ying, who often worked overtime with a laptop, who went out early and returned to work late every day, and the third season became a full-time mode, and the content of Internet celebrities increased sharply. The female guest Su Rui is a big Internet celebrity with millions of fans, Li Mengdie used to be a female anchor on a game platform, Ling Yi and Xu Li also have a lot of fans on social media, male guest Shao Jiarong once played a role in TV series, Ma Jinlong has appeared in "Future China" and "The Strongest Brain", Jiang Junlin's ex-wife is a Hong Kong actress.
The second season of the recently aired domestic love variety "Good Friendship and Love", the content of Internet celebrities and actors is not low, female guest Wu Yalu made her debut in "Creation Camp 2020", and starred in some online dramas and variety shows, Chen Liujie is a good-looking Internet celebrity, and the male guest Wang Yinqi once played the boss in a short drama.
In the professional contempt chain of amateur love drama audiences, Internet celebrities and the like must be ranked behind, in addition to it is hard to believe that they really want to fall in love and find a partner, there is also a layer of Internet celebrities whose lives are too far away from most ordinary people, and the workplace is even more useless.
The professional solidification of the guests is not only reflected in the flood of Internet celebrities, but also the frequency of certain professions, such as financial practitioners and lawyers, is very high, which is very in line with the stereotype of elite professions. And this is not the problem of domestic Lianzong itself, and most of the Korean Lianzong are not much stronger in this regard.
In contrast, "Brothers and Sisters in Love" can be regarded as a breakthrough in the guest profession, except for the "brother-in-law hunter" male third model, which is relatively close to Internet celebrities, and other people's jobs include accountants, consultants, weight loss consultants, pilots, cellists, AI intelligent researchers, etc., most of which are decent and high-paying good careers in the eyes of ordinary people, and they are differentiated, and none of them focus on lawyers and finance, providing a relatively diverse sample of guest careers. This point is worth learning from all the directors who are still obsessed with Internet celebrities. There are many interesting professions and interesting guests, open your eyes and give the audience something good.
Richer and more complex guest relationships
Human beings are social creatures, and they will show different faces in different social situations and social relationships, which is the complex and fascinating part of human beings.
The Shura field, which is the favorite of the audience, is actually to stimulate more complex human emotional relationships in complex multi-person situations, and the PDs of Lianzong are also well aware of this, and they take great pains to present the Shura field to the audience, even if it is not in the feature film of the show, they must make a false shot in the trailer and pretend to be there.
The embodiment of the Shura field may be like in "Single is Hell" and "Love Catcher", where the love between men and women is conveyed in the form of "hunting", and the male guests will be arranged to fight hand-to-hand in the sand pool, and the female guests will watch such primitive courtship clips on the sidelines, or it may be the kitchen Shura field in "Half-familiar Lovers", where the three male guests who have a crush on Lola each make two eggs for her for breakfast.
The Shura field will concretize the tangled process of being loved and not loved, being chosen and being abandoned in the intimate relationship, which will stimulate the guests in the Shura field, and will also stimulate the audience in front of the screen. For them, the more complicated the relationship between the guests of Lianzong, the more frequent and exciting the Shura will be, so many viewers like to see polyamorous relationships in Lianzong.
On the one hand, PDs try their best to stimulate the chemistry between the guests by sending heart-warming text messages and obtaining dating privileges in the show, and on the other hand, they also start from the relationship between the guests before entering the show, trying to present more multifaceted guests and create a more complex relationship through their existing social relationships.
Li Zhenshu had previously played the explosive brain hole of letting the former couples reorganize CP under the same roof in "Transfer Love", and "Good Friendship and Love" also allowed the guests to bring their friends of the opposite sex to the show, whether it is a positive or pure assist, it all depends on the little Jiujiu in the hearts of the guests;
When it comes to "Brothers and Sisters in Love", although it is not the first time that other perspectives have been introduced into the relationship, what is more special about it is that it is the first time to use family and family members to shape the image of the guests of the love drama so richly and three-dimensionally, and the emotional resonance about family and family affection caused by the show even far overshadows the love line.
The audience's interest in family affection far exceeds that of the serious love CP, which is indeed groundbreaking for a love show. It may symbolize that Lianzong is transforming into "Aizong", and compared with one-on-one love, it may appear more in the show in the future than a wider range of love.
