"My prince, born for me."
"The two of us, when the love is strong, go to Wushan together."
"I will be the focus of everyone's envy, immersed in love, and taste joy and pain."
Help me! I was also fucked!
The above shameful and secondary two lines, from a drama that I chased when I was at home during the holidays - "My Babylonian Lover".
I was almost dissuaded by the title of the play, good fellow, I am really fragrant again.
1.
If I were to sum up what "My Babylonian Lover" was about in one sentence, it would probably be: The Mary Sue novel I wrote in my second year of middle school came true.
The heroine, Chen Meiru (Bu Guanjin), is a 24-year-old professional network information inspector whose daily job is to screen and remove pornography online.
She has a lonely personality, pure heart, as if she is an emotionless machine, and her girlfriend Jiang Huizhen (Zhu Yan Manzi) says that she thinks she has held her life, but in fact she is practicing with her hair.
But Chen Meiru, when she was a teenager, was completely different.
At the age of 12, she visited a touring exhibition of the ancient Babylonian civilization and was greatly shocked after being baptized by the romantic adventures of history. As a result, Chen Meiru, whose girlish feelings are always poetry, began to serialize Mary Sue novels in her diary.
In this novel, titled "Love Before the Western Yuan", Chen Meiru incarnates as a girl who writes in ancient Babylon and meets her destined half-blood prince, who is handsome and wild, brave and good at war, and his name is Murong Jaylen (Feng Xiaoyue).
At the request of Jiang Huizhen, Chen Meiru arranged a boyfriend who was rich and invincible, who was not only the prince's best friend, but also the chief bodyguard from the mysterious East- Ouyang Wenshan (Wang Ruichang)!
It is difficult not to suspect that chen Meiru's name was inspired by Zhou Dong and Fang Wenshan.
Chen Meiru also wrote herself a love enemy named Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl (Xu Weining). The princess has a unique appearance, can call the wind and rain (the kind of physical attributes), and follows the prince bitterly, but the prince swears to love Chen Meiru alone.
The end of the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girls is set to lose her love and live alone for the rest of her life.
It is such a young girl Huaichun's secondary two fantasy romance novel, which became a reality on Chen Meiru's 24th birthday.
On the ancient Babylonian birthday body prepared for her by Jiang Huizhen, Prince Murong made a shining appearance, first of all, he kissed her strongly, and then overbearingly swore sovereignty, "Chen Meiru, I am your prince."
The appearance is quite cool, but the handsome prince who is actually sand sculpture on the surface is somewhat incompatible with modern life.
A sword, cutting off Chen Meiru's mobile phone that was showing the boss's call; another sword, piercing the TV set that played the tank rumbling.
To apologize sincerely, you have to sacrifice an internal organ, and after being stopped in time by Chen Meiru's sentence "use your mouth", she happily scratched the corner of her mouth with a knife.
Afraid that Chen Meiru was cold, he first drank a large mouthful of water from the fish tank and put it in his mouth, then sprayed it evenly on the cloth, and finally reverently picked up Chen Meiru's feet and gently wiped it...
Chen Meiru: ???
When Chen Meiru, who had written "Every word of his, is a love word", heard the prince say in front of her, "I, willing to be your defeated general" and "the love I give you, no one can match, is enough to light up your life", it felt more or less magical. (Aaaah, embarrassment to the extent that the soles of my feet cut out of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon)
Even if two people are ambiguous, they will cross in an instant and go to Wushan Together. (Zhen Wushan)
Chen Meiru was so scared that he ran around, and the prince chased after him relentlessly, and finally it was the winding mountain bus in cyberpunk Fog, which arranged Prince Murong and asked the question "Is motion sickness a curse".
Of course, the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girls also continue to pursue love in modern times.
Cheng Tianguang got up a jio and followed the prince's ass, and even if he opened his mouth to talk about the earthy love, he was also driven into the small black house of the wild boar with the prince because of the unauthorized use of the winding skill.
(Hahahaha, laugh can't live me)
For Chen Meiru's paper man Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl in the novel, Duan Shuiliu (Zhou You), who has been obsessed with 12 years, opens the knight mode of silently guarding each other after meeting the Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl.
At the same time, Jiang Huizhen also began to tangle with his ideal type, that is, Ouyang Wenshan, who has a lot of stupid money.
The long-sealed girl's fantasy was awakened again, and Chen Meiru's dull life, because of the arrival of these paper people, set off waves.
As the story progresses to the second half, the plot that was once gone on the sand sculpture road begins to reverse. It seems that the ancient Babylonian trio did not come from Chen Meiru's novel, but a real historical figure, based on some coincidence, put on Chen Meiru's setting and came to the modern era. (I took this brain hole!) ）
The plot repeatedly jumps between illusion and reality, this kind of serious style of secondary two, is the netizens described as "seriously sick, soberly crazy", even with me also produced a strange sense of perception, very magical and very heady.

It's amazing, the first half of "My Babylonian Lover" is really funny and awkward, but the more you go to the back, the more you feel that this drama seems to be more than just sand sculptures. Compared to the absurd comedy of the second year of literature, this is more like the bitter growth history of a young girl.
That book, "Love Before the Western Yuan", was Chen Meiru's beautiful dream, and it was also the source of her later cultivation.
The desperate love in the diary was discovered by the class teacher (who is also Chen Meiru's second aunt), who was forced to read the words she had written by herself in front of the whole class.
Her girlish feelings have been called "bad yellow articles", and she has become a "12-year-old female rogue".
In the rules of the world, a princess deserves to have a prince, and the boy laughs at her and says that the prince should love the beautiful Nine Heavenly Dragon Girl, not the bleak Chen Meiru.
Chen Meiru, who accepted her mediocre facts at a very young age, retained her yearning for love in her fantasies, hoping that even in the face of other perfect beings, she was still the special one.
There was nothing wrong with the girl's innocent mind, but when it was nakedly exposed, it became a laughing stock.
It is very true that in the face of adolescence, parents and teachers always seem to avoid talking about love, desire or sex. I still remember that when I was watching TV with my mother, as soon as there was a slightly excessive scene, she immediately changed the station. They react as if to say, you shouldn't be curious about these things, you're not right, but never say why.
From the moment Chen Meiru read the novel, it became a joke in this town.
The disappointment of the teacher and the humiliation of the classmates were like a sword stabbed at Chen Meiru. In adolescence is always imaginative, she no longer fantasizes, no longer waits for her prince, and gradually becomes autistic and lonely, a whole state of cement sealing the heart. And that diary has become a past that she is ashamed to talk about.
After 12 years, some people can no longer remember who Chen Meiru is, but they will always remember the girl who wrote the yellow novel.
This childhood shadow made the 24-year-old dare not love or look forward to being loved.
As an internet information inspector, Chen Meiru has been ruthlessly removing pornography all day long, describing this as holding a scalpel in her hand and accurately cutting off excessive desires, but this is not a kind of self-castration, because her childhood experience reminds her of fantasies of guilt, and it is ugly to love.
When Prince Murong, a character who carries unbearable memories, suddenly breaks into Chen Meiru's life, she is hysterical, she is angry, she escapes, even if it is her own dream, it is also in shame to destroy it again.
And this prince, who does not belong to modern society and has always said "I want to protect you", still relies on the most primitive and sincere love to pry Chen Meiru's heart.
As Chen Meiru said, love can not control and has no boundaries, if you can't learn to love, you will only grow old instead of growing up, and the emotions that were once suppressed can finally be released, and she begins to face the past and face fear.
(I don't really want to hide, this paragraph makes me cry like a dog)
The intrusion of girly literature into reality may be absurd, but it is not shameful.
This is 12-year-old Chen Meiru, who came to save 24-year-old Chen Meiru, let her shake hands with her past self, and regain the ability to love and be loved.
3.
After catching up with the drama, I went to see the behind-the-scenes production special, and it was surprising that most of the drama was filmed in China, France, and Morocco. (Funds are burning)
Even I thought that the actors fooled everyone and casually spoke the Babylonian language, which was the result of all the actors entering the group training a month in advance. This kind of sincerity is placed in the current domestic TV drama market, which seems to be somewhat rare.
Seeing it now, I don't know how to describe "My Babylonian Lover" the most appropriate.
Even the producer's director Chen Guofu himself did not understand the market positioning of this drama, he said that this is neither a female cool drama, nor is it entirely a fantasy or fairy tale, this experience of crossing the river by feeling the stones, perhaps only once.
There is no brainless funny in the play, nor is it blindly preachy, and there is a resonance of girls' growth in addition to humor and humor.
We may be ordinary and ordinary, we are also two sand sculptures, we have all been lying in bed with our girlfriends, imagining meeting the destined prince in the future, but then we think that we recognize reality, and classify these illusory beauty as the innocence and naivety of childhood, about love, dare not declare it as boldly as before, but now finally someone says that fantasy is innocent, we can always dream like when we were girls.
Immediately regain my diary, what about the Mary Sue, in case the prince comes one day!
