Directed by Meng Liang, starring Zhang Yan and Song Jialun, and starring Tao Luoyi and Wang Fangzheng, the era family drama "Mother is Waiting for You" is being broadcast on the CCTV TV drama channel. The drama tells the touching story of an ordinary mother (played by Zhang Ting) in a small town in northern Jiangsu from the early 1970s to the turn of the century, and her five children. As soon as the drama was broadcast, it received super high ratings, and the dehydration data released by the General Administration won the first place in the ratings of the same period, and it also showed that CCTV was the guarantee of ratings.
Careful netizens will find that most of the main actors of this drama are the main creative team in the director's other period drama "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance", and it is also a drama broadcast by the Central Eighth Channel, and the ratings are also good. Including Wu Qijiang, who played the eldest brother Zhou Xiaoyang, Sun Shuang, who played the second sister Zhou Xiaoliu, Na Jiawei, who played the second brother-in-law Jiang He, Zhang Weiyi, who played one of the twins, and Ren Dawei, who played Jiang Zhenhai, are the main actors in "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance". There is also another drama of the director, "Ding Da Ming" and the unaired "My Three Sisters and Me", which is also starring Lin Jiachuan, who played Luo Yongze in "Distant Hawthorn Tree".
In fact, there is also a need for tacit understanding between the director and the actor, if the cooperation between each other is pleasant, with tacit understanding, then the second and third pairs are possible. Like the director and actor of this drama this time two or more, I believe they are very happy to cooperate with each other. Unfortunately, the director Meng Liang's drama score is not high, "Hawthorn Tree in the Distance" only got a rating of 3.6, while "Mother is Waiting for You" has been broadcast for more than thirty episodes, but it has not yet been rated, perhaps because it is not the subject of young people's favorite watch, it is estimated that the rating of this drama will not be high.
As the lead actor Zhang Ting, I can only say that it is a bit of a pity. The so-called flower without hundred days of red, this is also the cruelty of the show business. The man she played in "Pink Girl" was praised countless times, including An Xin, who later played in "Parental Love", and also received praise for her excellent acting skills. Compared with these classic hit dramas, this time in the drama "Mother Is Waiting for You", playing the mother of five children is slightly inferior. Although it is a role in the role of a big heroine, the acting skills are also online, but the production team is not a little bit worse than before. The success of a drama is inseparable from the director, script, and actors, and a good production team can achieve good actors. The drama "Mother Is Waiting for You" is still slightly rough, whether in the casting of actors or in excessive age, it has not done a good job. Especially dramas with large age spans, it is particularly important in casting and dressing. For example, in "Parental Love", actors of what age play at what age, they do a very good job in this regard, so they can become classics.
However, in any case, a drama can have high ratings, indicating that there is still a market for this kind of theme, as long as the creators create with their hearts, I believe there will be more classic film and television works.
