I don't know when it began, the ordinary people on TV disappeared, they became a bunch of characters wearing chinese clothes, beautiful looks, born into a rich family, and embarked on the peak of life as soon as they became adults. Even if you are an ordinary person at the beginning, in the end, you will still complete the story of sparrow becoming a phoenix through your own efforts, or find a domineering president boyfriend and a rich father who has been lost for many years.
So are there still "ordinary people" in the TV series?
There is definitely a certainty, modern dramas he will be the protagonist's side of the unpopular relatives and friends, ancient dramas they will be the protagonist's servant or childhood playmate, but they all have another identity "poor".
Turning over the TV series in recent years, the ordinary people portrayed in the story are suppressed and disliked characters, while the rich are the focus of the stars and the moon. Ordinary people are eager for houses, cars, luxury goods, and if they can't work hard, then fish for Kaizi and be a third party, in short, for the sake of "money", ordinary people can use whatever means they want.
On the other hand, look at the rich people in the picture, there is everything, there is no lack of anything, and difficulties can be solved through connections and money. The troubles of ordinary people are ridiculous in their eyes, while the troubles of the rich are never imagined by ordinary people.
Although this is very realistic, sometimes I really want to ask, is there nothing else in the lives of ordinary people except these? Or is it that the production team just wants the audience to see that ordinary people should live like this? Or should ordinary people live like this?
Do you really think they're ordinary people?
Take "Thirty-Two", this drama is not much less in the plot, but we look at the characters in the story, not to mention the luxury cars and villas, and even put all kinds of luxury goods on the table, it feels like saying that without one or two luxury goods on the body, it is not a "delicate person".
One of the most profound influences on me is that The monthly salary of Wang Manni in the TV series is about 15,000, in order to pursue the quality of life, she needs to spend nearly 8,000 wages to rent a large house. But in fact, ordinary people in real life don't say that a penny is eager to break into two halves, not to mention that most ordinary people don't say 8,000 monthly salaries, and those who can reach 5,000 monthly salaries are exchanged for blood and sweat.
In 2019, a certain Bo made a list of domestic TV dramas, of which there were 7 costume dramas and 10 idol dramas in the top 20 TV series. everyman? In their eyes, it may be the urban white-collar workers who still have a salary of 20,000 yuan after tax in the north, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and never swipe their credit cards; they are lawyers who squeeze into the subway to live in a shabby and decorated house; they are high-end translators who go in and out of high-end restaurants and drink red wine in bars; they are low-key bosses who drive luxury cars but stall goods all over the place; they are presidents who wear famous brands and show all kinds of INTELLIGENCE...
In the final analysis, they are not ordinary people, but just a layer of "ordinary people's skin" and put it for real ordinary people to watch.
What is an ordinary person?
They may be dusty, enduring the scorching sun and the erosion of cold winds, and turning to the builders of cities everywhere; they may be muddy, busy in the country fields all year round, rain or shine, delivering food supplies to the city; they may be burdened, working overtime in factories day and night to make money and provide high-quality goods for the city; they may be a service provider who travels under pressure, wandering in high-rise buildings and traffic, providing services for the city...
They wore whitewashed clothes; ate the cheapest dishes in the cafeteria or restaurant; lived in the farthest and most remote houses from their places of work; crowded with the most congested subway in the morning and sat on the quietest last train at night;
In the lives of ordinary people, where there are years and years, it is only a burden to move forward; in the stories of ordinary people, where there are flowers, it is nothing more than chai rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea; in the songs of ordinary people, it is not the prosperity of the world, but the inexhaustible world of coldness.
Since when did we stop thinking of ourselves as ordinary people, but as poor people?
