Now, as long as the film and television drama related to marriage is mentioned, everyone's first reaction is "piercing the heart" and "suffocation".
But in fact, marriage-themed film and television dramas can also be very playful and interesting.
As early as 1994, Zhao Baogang made Wang Shuo's three novels, "Addiction is Death", "Never Lose My Love", and "No One Applauds" into a drama.
Once broadcast, it swept the country and became a hit.
Although more than 20 years have passed, it is still surprising to rewatch this drama.
It makes people find that the siege of the original marriage is heavy and helpless on the one hand, and the other side is interesting and profound.
"Addiction"
In the 1990s, this drama was an absolute hit.
It made Wang Zhiwen a model of Wenqing, and girls across the country dreamed of falling in love with such a man.
It made Jiang Shan's permed hair and high-shouldered suit a fashion in the country, with girls taking her as an imitation object and boys treating her as a dream lover.
The theme song "Confused Love" has been sung all over the country and has become a classic.
Confused Love Music: Jiang Shan; Wang Zhiwen
In the era of my parents, the status of this drama was no less than that of "Tokyo Love Story" to Japanese dramas, and "Blue Life and Death Love" to Korean dramas.
And the content of this drama is actually very simple, even a bit clichéd:
Like; fit; together.
Is this one thing, or three things?

Like it or not?
Obviously, it is a love idol drama, but at the beginning of the whole drama, this drama gives a tragic tone.
The male protagonist Fang Yu (played by Wang Zhiwen) and his friend Pan Youjun (played by Zhao Liang) eat hot pot together.
Pan Youjun, as a married man, spat bitterly at the bachelor dialect.
Since he got married, he hasn't even been able to laugh, and he doesn't have this function. He is like a dish in a pot, and he has only a share of shabu in marriage.
Described by Pan Youjun:
Marriage is a prison, gathering with friends is a prison to let the wind blow, and white head to old age is a lifelong death row prisoner.
This night, the dialect was good to talk about, and finally sent Pan Youjun, who was outside and did not want to go home, back to the community.
Just arrived at the community, upstairs "snapped" down a person.
The two were dumbfounded, because the deceased was none other than Pan Youjun's wife, Shi Jing (Xu Yang).
Yes, this time Pan Youjun is considered to be "released after completing his sentence".
At Shi Jing's funeral, our heroine Du Mei (Jiang Shan) finally appeared.
As Shi Jing's good friend, she went up and gave Pan Youjun a slap...
At this moment, the dialect is right next to it.
Dialect and Du Mei met from the tragedy of someone else's marriage.
But that doesn't stop two people from attracting to each other and starting another tragedy.
After Shi Jing's funeral, the two men picked up on the bus.
Master tricks, every sentence is a play.
Test whether the other person has a lover.
Du Mei saw that the dialect sweater was off the line and was about to become short sleeves.
So he asked, "Lovers don't work?" ”
Dialect: "Do you see me like this, like a wife?" ”
Ask each other to dinner together.
Dialect: "Do you usually eat at noon?" ”
Du Mei: "That's what I asked, just say what you think." ”
Dialect: "Actually, I would like to invite you to dinner." ”
Du Mei: "This is not difficult to achieve!" ”
After the dinner, inquire about the other party's work unit, rote phone number, are all natural things.
Many years later, Zhao Baogang's other blockbuster drama "Struggle", Lu Tao's back of Charlene's mobile phone number is a tribute to Dialect and Du Mei.
However, compared to Charlene, Du Mei's dan position is still a higher move.
In the hospital, seeing Fang Yu taking women to see gynecology, Du Mei mistakenly thought that this was Fang Yu's girlfriend, and the first sentence before him said, "You are really immediate." ”
Later, it was learned that this woman was the girlfriend of a dialect colleague, and it was also deliberately emphasized that she had a gynecological disease and was very contagious.
The purpose is to observe whether the dialect is nervous.
Du Mei invited Fang Yu to the dance, but she danced with others endlessly, but pushed her girlfriend Jia Ling (Liu Bei) forward.
This trick is called throwing stones to ask for directions.
Rely on Jia Ling's stone to "test your character, test your aesthetics, and test whether you are three or four."
In the end, the dialect successfully passed the test, and the two soon stepped into marriage.

Is it appropriate?
Before determining the relationship, Du Mei had fully demonstrated his suspiciousness and sensitivity.
But because it is in the ambiguous period, all the temptations are proof of love, and fang yu is immersed in this sweet love, thinking that Du Mei is very cute.
But over time, these temptations change.
The conversation between the two people after receiving the certificate is very representative.
Fang Yu lamented how it was so simple to get a marriage license, and Du Mei asked him if he regretted marrying himself.
Dialect: "Why are you so careful with your eyes?" ”
Du Mei: "You just found out?" I just watch out for my eyes, I have a lot of problems. ”
Dialect: "It's annoying." ”
Du Mei: "Think I'm bored, don't you?" What good results will we have after you feel that I am bored now? ”
I have to say that Wang Shuo's lines are really a must.
This conversation between Du Mei and Fang Yu asked everyone if they were familiar with it?!
Whether it is in the marriage of parents or in their own intimate relationship, women's chatter is always the same as men's avoidance of indifference.
When Du Mei was angry, "Men don't have a good thing", "If you want to leave, don't come back" and the dialect of "What's wrong with you", it is even more familiar to people.
Because of the trivial things, the nagging, the cold war, the harmony, and so on, the cyclical plot is simply installed in life.
Du Mei's sending proposition is almost everywhere.
On the wedding night, fang yu asked if he was his ideal type, and on the second day of the new marriage, he asked if fang yu had slept with others, and even his girlfriend Jia Ling came to the house as a guest, and Du Mei also had to nag with acid and vinegar:
Jia Ling is gone, quite in love, right? She's cute, isn't she? Don't you just like that? We have more beautiful girls in the hospital, what is better?
In the face of Du Mei's temptations above, Fang Yu would at first give a textbook answer full of survival, but after a long time, he also numbed the wood.
This time, instead of brushing Du Mei's hair, he arched into flames:
"There are many beautiful girls in the hospital" "Then you have to come one by one." ”
Married life is always an exam, and if you don't pass the exam, you have to quarrel, which makes everyone upset.
Dialect sighed, which was more tiring than a soldier with a regiment.
However, the most rare thing about Du Mei is that she makes you feel so annoyed and tired and depressed, but as long as she looks at you with tears in her eyes, you can't help but want to forgive her pretentiousness.
When she hugged the dialect and said, "You are not allowed to think of her well", when she said "In the end, I was wrong again, I was not right again", when she carefully said "I am always so noisy, you don't bother me", don't say dialect, I am soft-hearted off the screen.
The two men quarreled, as if Du Mei was picking trouble every time.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that every time Du Mei provokes trouble, it is to determine whether the dialect loves himself or not, and every time the situation expands, it is because the dialect refuses to say that he loves her no matter what.
Du Mei's upbringing is special, with no reliable relatives and a lack of security. Every time she played a little sex, so that the dialect could coax her.
The dialect is a clear and high Wenqing, and in the bones is machismo, naturally it is not easy to be soft.
A typical example, dialect to take Du Mei to see his parents, Du Mei put on black stockings, elaborately dressed up.
Dialect saw it, "Did you go out and look in the mirror?" How to make it like a chicken. ”
As soon as Du Mei heard this, he turned and left.
The most annoying thing about dialect is that it is thrown on the street like this, and at night, the air is not smooth.
"Who are you wearing clothes for?" It was shown to me, and I said I can't tell you that you don't want to delay your efforts."
Although this plot is funny, the machismo of the dialect is also highlighted.
Every time Du Mei asked Fang Yu to love himself, Fang Yu said coldly and ruthlessly, "These are two different things", and his attitude fell in Du Mei's eyes, "you have changed your heart", "You have played enough", "You don't love me anymore".
One wants the other party to be soft to prove his love for himself, and the other is partial to not loving, but not to be soft.
Are these two people really suitable?
In the days when the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, the dialect became more and more tired, and Du Mei became more and more suspicious.
At first, the two just talked.
Later, the two developed into pushing and shoving each other, cursing and throwing things.
In the end, Du Mei even tied up the dialect and put a knife around his neck to make him say he loved himself.
Du Mei was overdone, and the dialect was exhausted.
As he twisted his bound body and smashed his head against the glass for help, he also shattered their marriage.
03
Not together?
Dialect and Du Mei, liking each other is certain, and personality discord is also certain.
However, it is also certain that they still have love for each other after the divorce.
Freed from the cage of marriage and freed, they have all met new people.
Fang Yu meets Han Liting (Shi Ke), she is real, runs the family, and will not chase After Fang Yu like Du Mei and ask if she loves herself.
Du Mei meets Qian Kang (Li Chengru), who has had a crush on Du Mei since he was in school, and he can't wait to say that he loves her without Du Mei asking.
They all met more suitable objects, but neither had the intention of continuing with them.
In fact, dialects and Dumei are essentially similar.
When they got married, the couple's new house was a classroom of more than 40 square meters in the dialect father's unit.
However, Du Mei did not feel aggrieved at all, "As long as you love me, just have a bed." ”
And the dialect itself is also a person who regards money as dung, and Qian Kang's evaluation of the dialect is, "Not sharp, not greedy, not too serious about money." ”
What do two people care about most about people who don't take money seriously?
Love, of course.
Maybe after walking out of marriage and then looking back, people can more peacefully examine themselves and each other, and examine the gains and losses in marriage.
After learning of Du Mei's special upbringing, Fang Yu understood her sensitivity and insecurity.
After losing his dialect, Du Mei began to understand that love is not only said by mouth, but also depends on how to do it in action.
The whole world can see that they are still in love, and they have wasted too much time in order to prove love and refuse to say love.
At the beginning, the dialect wrote a big "control of anger" on the blackboard of the classroom where they lived, hoping to encourage Du Mei.
Later, when Du Mei was angry, he erased the two words and wrote a dense "love" on the blackboard.
The person who likes is not necessarily suitable, and the right person does not necessarily have love, but the person who loves will definitely work hard to run in, polish themselves in chai rice oil and salt, and seek the right fit in a place of chicken feathers.
In addition to life and death, love can overcome everything.
But if it is only at the moment of life and death that it realizes how much they love each other, it is really a great tragedy.
Acquaintance, love, marriage, divorce, remarriage, eternal separation...
They fell in love with each other, and I also laughed bitterly, felt depressed, and truly saddened.
It's hard to imagine —
A TV series from more than 20 years ago can bring me such a real experience of watching a tv series.
It's even harder to imagine —
Such a plot-rich TV series is only eight short episodes.
Just eight episodes of the TV series, no water, no nonsense, no superfluous shots.
Such a rich and tortuous plot has been put on hold until now, and it is not allowed to play eighty episodes?
In those eight episodes —
Wang Zhiwen of Wenqing, Jiang Shan, who is charming and moving, Liu Bei, who has bright eyes and bright teeth, Li Chengru, whose hair is still alive, Shi Ke, who is full of atmosphere, and Zhao Liang, the "Prince of Ji" when he was young...
Every actor is remarkable.
Pan Youjun, a native of Beijing, wants to pretend to be a fake foreigner and describe "really interesting" as the second wife of "really a group of children"; for many years he has been drinking tea like a tea, and he has been scolded by dialects like a donkey drinking a donkey...
They are also impressive.
Pan Youjun's two failed marriages, Qian Kang and Han Liting's crooked marriage, the marriage scam that Jia Ling encountered with the best assist and the dialect Du Mei chicken flying dog jumping but sincere and profound marriage...
All make people think infinitely.
It was a surprise that our domestic love drama was so good more than 20 years ago.
But it is also a pity that such a love drama has become out of print, and can only become the last song of that era.
