Recently, a TV series "Little Days" starring Tong Yao and Chen Xiao has attracted much attention.
However, the reason why the show has attracted attention is not because of its high quality, but because of the outrageous degree of the plot.
The audience said that their main purpose in watching this play was to see how bizarre the screenwriter's imagination could be, and some viewers even criticized angrily after watching it.
The original intention of the screenwriter may be to show the ideological conflicts and collisions between the new generation and the older generation through the plot of buying a house, and further reveal the social contradictions behind it.
However, when dealing with the character setting and plot development, it seems too detached from reality.
In the play, Zhu Jincao's parents are set to be from the countryside and have never seen the world, so their daughter-in-law's name is not allowed on the real estate certificate.
In order to highlight their poverty, the screenwriter set that they could only afford a 57.2-square-meter one-bedroom apartment.
However, such a setting is particularly unrealistic in a city with high housing prices like Shanghai.
Even parents from the countryside can buy a well-decorated house with one hand It seems quite bizarre.
What's even more incredible is that the living conditions of the rural parents depicted in the play are very different from their actual circumstances.
Although they are set to be poor, the scenes of life in the play are full of extravagant elements.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen, a large refrigerator with double doors, and multiple sofas are all available, which is in stark contrast to their poverty setting.
In addition, the behavior of the heroes and heroines in the play also aroused doubts from the audience.
For example, they own a small but brand-new house, but they choose to open it, and spend 800 yuan a week on a hotel room for two hours. Such a concept of consumption is extremely inconsistent with their economic situation.
The heroine has worked for many years, and her savings have never exceeded 50,000, but she bought a painting worth 80,000 yuan in a fit of anger, and gave her mother-in-law and mother bags worth 15,000 yuan each.
Such consumption behavior makes the audience have serious doubts about the authenticity of the plot.
In the development of the plot, after the divorce of the hero and heroine, the heroine's mother was able to easily take out 2.6 million as a down payment for buying a house.
Such a plot setting undoubtedly makes the audience question the screenwriter's creative ability.
Looking back on past TV dramas, we can find that those plots that truly reflect the lives of the people at the bottom can often be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Works such as "The Life of Poor Zhang Damin" and "Golden Wedding" make the audience truly feel the hardships and struggles of the people at the bottom through delicate depictions.
However, modern dramas such as "Little Day" are too pompous and extravagant, ignoring the details and emotions of real life.
In general, although dramas such as "Little Day" have obvious problems in plot setting and character building, this also reflects a phenomenon in the current film and television industry.
Screenwriters and directors should pay more attention to authenticity and detailed descriptions in the creative process to present works that are closer to life. At the same time, the audience should also maintain a rational and objective attitude, and make reasonable evaluations and criticisms of the plot.
