The recent domestic drama market is a bit boring.
Urban dramas such as "City in the City" and "The Story of Chenghuan", which have been over for a long time, have made the audience have no interest in recalling.
In addition to the just-concluded national drama "My Altay", which stirred up thousands of waves, the hit urban dramas "Please Fall in Love with Me Like This", "Me Living Elsewhere", and "Another Blue" all made the audience feel almost meaningless.
This can't help but make the audience nostalgic for the days when they chased "Ideal City" and "Hurricane" with a remote control, and such ruthless dramas really have an appetite for the audience.
It seems that it is still necessary to wait for the drama to be broadcast in order to save the audience's tired visual nerves.
For example, "The Story of Rose" starring Liu Yifei, a high-value lineup raises the audience's expectations, and "Alley People" starring Jiang Xin, a powerful lineup brings an acting feast to the audience.
However, the above dramas are still on the way, but another urban family emotional drama is the first to come with good news.
The first trial of "Good Reunion" has passed, and the Shanghai Bureau is about to issue a certificate, and it seems that it will not be long before we will meet the audience.
Contradiction is the spice of life
"Good Reunion" tells the story of Xiang Zhijun (played by Ding Yongdai), a big family in the Xiang family, where the three daughters of Xiang Zhijun (played by Ding Yongdai) have successful careers, which makes the neighbors can't stop admiring and blushing. But in fact, behind the seemingly happiness, the three daughters also have their own troubles.
The eldest daughter Xiangxiang (played by Bai Baihe) hesitated in the face of promotion in other places, the second daughter Xiangzhong (played by Li Chun) had many contradictions in marriage, and the youngest daughter Xiangnan (played by Wang Yuwen) was PUA by a scumbag.
In all kinds of predicaments, how should the three sisters break through the shackles and find a way to break the situation.
The most important thing for an urban family drama is a plump story and high-quality picture texture. The trailer for "Good Reunion" hooked my eye tightly with 2 hooks.
The first hook: the texture of life.
As soon as the trailer opened, it brought the audience a scenic Jiangnan town.
In the picture, the uncle who walks, the lady who washes clothes, the boatman, and the green town are full of leisurely life, which soothes the audience's mood.
Then the picture turned to the protagonist's home, the fresh and elegant courtyard was clean and tidy, Xiang Zhijun sat on a recliner, shaking a fan and drinking tea, looking at the three baby girls who entered the door, happily opening his arms and cheering.
In the warm bedroom, the three sisters chatted happily, and their faces were full of happiness.
A picture of life unfolds in "Good Reunion", which makes the audience feel very immersed.
The second hook: abundant contradictions.
Urban life dramas are bound to be full of family contradictions, but "Good Reunion" does not use complex bloody clips to stimulate the audience's nerves, and every contradiction directly hits the audience's pain points while being thought-provoking.
For example, 26-year-old Xiang Nan was controlled by her boyfriend PUA, who wanted Xiang Nan to quit his job and become a house sparrow in the palm of his hand.
Xiangzhong's marriage was in trouble, and in the face of her difficult in-laws, she lost her direction and lost her confidence in managing her marriage.
And the career is successful, and he is hesitant to face the opportunity for promotion and salary increase, because the next job of the promotion needs to go to Shenzhen, and he can't let go of his family.
Every quarrel is not a meaningless spill of dog blood, and every sentence has its own deep meaning behind it.
The drama "Good Reunion" shows the audience the different attitudes of women of different ages about work and love through the different lives of the three sisters in the Xiang family.
In this new drama, the parents of the protagonists are finally no longer the "soil emperors" who mess around and don't talk about it at all, but enlightened parents who can comfort their daughters, encourage their daughters, and help them.
This alone is enough to win in the current domestic urban family dramas.
Not to mention that "Good Reunion" also invited a group of powerful actors to help.
All the strength of the faction
Different from urban idol dramas, the most important thing in urban life dramas is that the actors' acting skills have a quality of life, and the drama "Good Reunion" is full of sincerity, and the actors can act more than one another.
The first place, Ding Yongdai.
As a rare golden supporting role in domestic entertainment, Ding Yongdai has quite wonderful performances in dramas such as "Breakthrough", "The World", and "South to North".
In the new drama "Good Reunion", Ding Yongdai plays the role of Xiang Zhijun.
After some quarrels, Xiang Zhijun waved directly at his daughters and asked them all to go, saying "This family is gone", his face was full of impatience, and his eyes were full of anger, although he didn't know what was going on, but he looked at Zhijun and was very angry.
With Ding Yongdai, an old actor, the acting skills of "Good Reunion" are stable.
second place, Liu Jia.
National first-class actor Liu Jia has frequently met with the audience in recent years, no matter what type of film and television drama, she can easily grasp the characteristics of the role, and her acting skills should not be underestimated.
In the new drama, Jiang Zhi played by Liu Jia is Xiang Zhijun's wife.
After Xiang Zhijun and his daughters quarreled and drove them away, Jiang Zhi pointed at the other party with a look of hatred, as if he wanted to scold him but held back, his expression was fierce, and his eyes were full of disapproval.
Liu Jia's acting skills are quite down-to-earth, and she and Ding Yongdai are on the same stage in the new drama, so I guess the acting skills must be very exciting, I am looking forward to it.
third place, Bai Baihe.
Bai Baihe has always been good at interpreting this kind of urban women who are a little eccentric and a little stubborn, and with the changes of the years, Bai Baihe's acting skills have naturally precipitated, and Huang Xiaoxian, the urban chick of the year, has also become today's urban mother.
In the new play, Bai Baihe played by Xiang Xiang found that the family members who were preparing birthday surprises for him as soon as he entered the door, his expression was surprised in an instant, his smile was bright, and there seemed to be tears of emotion in his smiling eyes.
The characters created by Bai Baihe always have an indescribable charm, a smile, an action, and even an expression and a tear can attract the audience. This is also the irreproducibility of Bai Baihe's acting skills. With her, acting is not a problem.
Fourth, Xia Yu.
Xia Yu, who won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with a "Police Appointment", has smooth and real acting skills. In recent years, Xia Yu has not had many works, and he has acted more as a supporting role, but his acting skills cannot be underestimated.
In the new drama, Xia Yu plays the role of Chai Jin, although I don't know what the relationship between him and the three sisters of the Xiang family is, but with him, the quality of his acting skills is definitely on a higher level.
fifth, Zhu Yin.
National first-class actor Zhu Yin is also here! Her performance is delicate and natural, and every role she plays is very detailed. In dramas such as "The True Story of Hot Mom" and "Flowers", Zhu Yin has contributed excellent acting skills.
Although I don't know what role Zhu Yin plays in the new drama, with her there, her acting skills are stable.
In addition, Li Chun, Yu Jinwei, Zhang Tao, Wang Yuwen and other acting schools will also play important roles in the play, and the group portraits of the characters do not have to worry.
epilogue
As we all know, the finale of a domestic family drama is not difficult to guess, no matter how rugged and tortuous the process is, the ending is mostly a reunion.
So "Good Reunion" must solve a big problem of family drama - how to make the TV series attractive when the ending is almost known?
In the current national drama market, several urban dramas that have just been broadcast lack direct eye-catching highlights in terms of content, which makes the audience feel like they are in their throats.
And the drama "Good Reunion", in terms of content, is first of all a family drama that can best touch the pain points of today's society, and secondly, it is a story of working women who can be called a topic excavator.
Judging from the plot, this drama is likely to let us see the charm of mature women again.
When an excellent actress does not need to deliberately pretend to be a young girl, she only needs to face and accept herself calmly, and play a role that meets her age in her true colors, she can show the best side to the audience.
The new drama "Good Reunion" shows the sincerity of this drama both in terms of the choice of content and the acting skills and appearance of the actors.
I believe that as long as the rhythm of the plot is logical, after the successful broadcast, it is not a problem to become a hit.
