1. The steep suspense is fascinating: reveal the absurdity and irony of the phenomenon of "rich people pretending to be poor" in domestic dramas!
Faced with the pretentiousness of Mao Xiaotong, a rich girl in the hit drama "All Wishes Come True", claiming that she lives in a "poor family", but in fact she lives in the comfortable environment of a Beijing courtyard house worth hundreds of millions of yuan, I can't help but frown, and my heart is full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
obviously owns countless mansions, but the plot makes her family deliberately go to the public toilet outside to solve physiological problems in order to meet the so-called "pretending to be poor" needs.
I looked around and saw that the scenes that were labeled as "poor families" by the production team were undoubtedly an enviable affluent life in the eyes of me, an ordinary working class.
As a real estate agent with a monthly salary of only a few thousand yuan, it is a great luck to be able to rent a well-decorated single apartment in the bustling city of Shanghai.
However, when I thought that Yang Ying's image of the "poor" in "My True Friend" was exaggerated enough, an even more shocking scene appeared. It turns out that what Jiang Shuying showed in "Mr. Love" is the ultimate manifestation of the phenomenon of "rich people pretending to be poor".
2. In-depth analysis of the reasons: the playwright's life is divorced from the public and becomes the culprit!
If you think about it, their lives are far from ours. The salary of a TV series is more than enough to offset my hard work for more than a decade, and a breakfast in their eyes can cost 4,000 yuan.
Therefore, the life of "worry-free food and clothing" for ordinary people naturally becomes a "miserable" poor life in their eyes.
However, directors should also clearly understand that today's domestic dramas have deviated more and more from the real life track of the masses! History has long proven that it is not without precedent.
Mr. Guo Degang, who was once highly praised and hailed as a "language artist", has made a huge fortune, but his performance level has stagnated or even deteriorated.
There is also Internet celebrity anchor Li Jiaqi, whose affinity is unmatched and has countless loyal fans. However, just after he achieved financial freedom, he began to laugh at the poor life of ordinary people.
The ancients said: "Masters can only create masterpieces when they are 'down'." "It is because of the hardships and hardships they have endured that they have been able to produce deeply moving masterpieces of art.
Ah! Once you lose this spiritual origin, then even if you have countless money, it can only be a senseless emptiness after all! Poverty is precisely the best greenhouse for the cultivation of art, and this truth is profound!
First of all, let's explore the "poor man's drama" presented in the popular TV series "Little Day", although it seems funny, but it is actually full of absurdity and irony.
The screenwriters seem to have forgotten the reality of poverty and created one hilarious "rich man's fake poor drama" one after another. Among them, the new drama "Little Days" starring Chen Xiaohe nursery rhymes has undoubtedly become a typical representative of this type of work.
As soon as the play begins, Chen Xiaohe plays a so-called "poor couple" living in a mansion. However, when the camera turns to their residence, we see a spacious one-bedroom apartment with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, an open-plan modern kitchen, and a high-end bathroom with separate wet and dry conditions.
However, in the face of such a comfortable living environment, they complain sadly that "the house is too small", which is really shocking. As an audience, we can only smile bitterly when we see this.
What's even more ridiculous is that the plot also depicts the scene of this "poor couple" having to rent an hourly room because of their "physical needs".
However, the more ironic plot is still to come, they actually created a so-called "bunk bed" in their spacious and bright bedroom, trying to create a "poor family" living atmosphere.
I watched this drama with only endless ridicule in my heart. The bedroom is so spacious that a double bed is more than enough, where do you need a bunk bed? The director's clumsy camouflage technique may not even be able to tolerate a child.
I can't help but wonder if the screenwriters really know about the real poor family. Judging from the daily consumption of the heroine Gu Jasmine, her lifestyle cannot be compared with that of the "poor" at all.
She even bought a piece of art worth up to 80,000 yuan, and on Mother's Day, she spent 15,000 yuan each on a handbag from a luxury brand for her two mothers as a gift.
Even the in-laws, who have always been thrifty and thrifty, just thought that the price was too expensive after seeing these handbags, and casually threw them into the pot.
What's even more bizarre is that the family is obviously wealthy, but when they go out, they take out 18,000 yuan and complain that "there is only so little money left". 18,000 yuan! Although prices in Shanghai are indeed high, such an amount is too shabby for a family like theirs.
Finally, let's review the similar absurd "poor man's drama" that has appeared in other domestic dramas in recent years.
In the TV series "My True Friend", Yang Ying's performance is still ridiculous. She plays a real estate agent with an annual salary of only 2,000 yuan, and her life is in stark contrast to the busyness and frugality of most of our working class.
Yang Ying not only rents a well-equipped high-end bachelor apartment, but even occasionally enjoys high-priced self-heating hot pot, however, the explanation given by the crew is "She is so poor that she can only eat self-heating hot pot", which makes people laugh dumbly.
Also absurd is Mao Xiaotong's performance in "All Wishes Come True". In the plot setting, her family's monthly salary is only 1,500 yuan, but they are able to live in a luxury courtyard house worth hundreds of millions of yuan in Beijing.
The crew even boasted that she would have sandwiches and milk for breakfast every day, as a hint at her "life in a rich family".
In the face of these so-called "poor people's dramas", I can't help but sigh that whether it is celebrities or screenwriters and directors, it seems that they have gradually distanced themselves from the lives of ordinary people. The luxurious life they were exposed to gradually made them lose their basic understanding of the living conditions of ordinary people.
5. Call for the drama to return to reality: pay attention to the real life of ordinary people
Doesn't anyone realize that this detached approach to creation is going astray step by step?
Here, I solemnly appeal to those well-known directors, screenwriters and actors, please open your eyes and carefully observe what kind of life the ordinary people around you live!
Please stop embellishing your work with your own imaginary "stories of suffering". Those seemingly noble "poor man's plays" are actually just self-absorption, far from real life.
You live a life of abundant food and clothing, and your monthly salary may be the income of ordinary people for several years.
The "poor" in your eyes are actually luxury houses worth hundreds of millions of yuan and luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
I'm not asking you to paint a picture of a dark life. I just hope that you can use more objective and realistic brushstrokes to show the living conditions of ordinary people.
Only then will your work resonate with the audience.
Only by practicing deeply and always keeping the original intention in mind can you create a stunning masterpiece! I am eagerly looking forward to domestic TV dramas that can pay attention to the real lives of the general public as soon as possible and deeply portray the true taste of human nature.
