In 2017, "The First Half of My Life", adapted from Yi Shu's novel of the same name, was broadcast. On the day of the broadcast, the ratings ranked third. Since the fourth day, it has firmly occupied the top of the ratings list until the end of the play.
After a lapse of 3 years, "Flowing Golden Years", also based on Yishu's novel, directed by Shen Yan, was simultaneously broadcast on CCTV and online platforms.
Although it is the same as a "women's drama", this time the "aim" is friendship.
In the novel, Yi Shu uses words to tell the process of Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun going through family changes and love betrayal, but the two people have always supported each other.
Although the plot of the adapted drama version is very different from the original work, under the appearance of "shape and non-conformity", the "soul" of the original work is restored. At the same time, it softens the cold feeling of the original story.
In addition to this, "Flowing Golden Years" has "three enough".
1/ Ni Ni and Liu Shishi are beautiful enough
In Yi Shu's pen, the beauty is like a cloud.
Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun in "Flowing Golden Years" are also very brilliant characters from appearance to personality.
In the book, it is written that "locks" are like "riots" in Shanghainese. And so is her beauty, full of exuberant style.
When the twelve-year-old Jiang Nansun first saw Zhu Suosuo, he thought in his heart, "It is indeed a little windy."
When the lock grew up, Yi Shu used the "gem" many times to associate with her. Whether it is the "jewel-like appearance" at the first interview in life, or the "jewel powder in the skin" afterwards, or the "world-class artwork" in Mr. Li's eyes, it shows how bright and feminine Zhu Suosuo is.
Jiang Nansun, on the other hand, is another kind of beauty.
Wang Yongzheng's eyes, even if she is muddy and torn pants, but thick eyebrows, big eyes, long hair, ivory skin, kicking the petals under her feet, like a forest elf. Even with long coiled hair and a solemn face, it can be recognized at a glance.
He was fascinated by her freshness and liveliness, and was even more fascinated by her beauty without knowing it.
In the drama version, the "Zhu Suosuo" played by Ni Ni and the "Jiang Nansun" played by Liu Shishi may not be the same as the appearance description in the novel, but they have the same charm.
A red dress stepped on the electric car, became the focus of the whole audience when walking, leaning on the side of the bed with a sad look, wearing a home clothes and crying on his back... Even the most common white, black, and brown explain what it means to be stylish.
And Liu Shishi's long hair and waist and monochrome clothes when she appeared on the scene had a kind of "sen girl"-like plain elegance and freshness. The denim top, white T, and sneakers in the back are also full of casualness that is not overly modified.
When "Jiang Nansun" is bathed in warm sunshine and gently stirred by the wind, the term "years are quiet" has a specific picture.
2/ The emotional cushion is thin enough
The original novel of "Flowing Golden Years" is not long, about 100,000 words.
Because of this, many plots are "brought" over. Like aunts, Jiang Father, Jiang Mother, etc., most of them "appeared in the camera" when Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were chatting.
The drama version, according to the character setting of the original novel, has greatly enriched the details, paving the way for the psychological and emotional changes of Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun.
As a result, we see how the aunt expresses and even vents her dissatisfaction with Zhu Suosuo again and again for the sake of her son; we also see that although the "cousin's" affection is true, it is cowardly and unreliable; we also see the uncle's dilemma in the middle and the bias at the critical moment.
When we saw this, we understood why Zhu Suosuo was so anxious to flee and wanted to have a home of his own. I understood why she had some "material", and was easily touched by the tender attack of "Master Ma".
The same is true of Jiang Nansun's side.
The grandmother favored sons over daughters, and did not like this granddaughter since she was a child, even "Nansun" is the harmonic sound of "male grandson"; Father Jiang, who is full of interests, has always regarded his daughter as an "investment" and wants to get closer to the upper class through her in exchange for more returns.
In this suffocating family atmosphere, Jiang Nansun wanted to escape. She loves Zhang Anren wholeheartedly, regardless of the economic gap between the two people, and naively thinks that "there is a sentient drinking water".
With these preparations, we will understand how generously and how difficult it is for Jiang Nansun to support this family after the great changes in the Jiang family; we will also know more about how deeply Zhang Anren hurt her, causing her to begin to avoid love and marriage in the future.
In addition, perhaps in order to lay the groundwork and confirm the emotional basis between Jiang Nansun and Wang Yongzheng, the drama version allows Wang Yongzheng, who only appeared in the second half of the original work, to appear early, and to stage the "Joyful Enemy" bridge section setting with Jiang Nansun.
Routines are common, but they can make the emotional process of two people richer and the ending more credible.
3/ The supporting cast is enough to "Howe"
As a series adapted from "well-known IP", in addition to the protagonist of "Flowing Golden Years" in line with the original setting, the supporting cast is also fully worthy of a "Howe" word.
The "little aunt" who only had two or three scenes in the original novel invited Yuan Quan to make a cameo appearance. When Yuan Quan appeared on camera in a black suit, he immediately impressed the audience who chased the drama, and the beauty entered the hearts of netizens.
In addition, Zhu Suosuo's "supporting role array" on this side, playing the uncle is Hou Changrong, who has starred in Liu Xianglian and the King of Beijing in the 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and has an acting experience of up to 33 years; zhu Yin, who plays the highest awards of drama such as "Plum Blossom Award", "Wenhua Award" and "Golden Lion Award", is now a national first-class actor; even "Mr. Ma" and "Fan Jingang", who are not very heavy at present, are also powerful factions such as Tong Yue and Tian Yu.
Even the "Father Zhu", who has few scenes, also found Tan Kai, who played "Mu Sa ge" in "Yan Yuntai" and formed CP with She Shiman, and then saved a line of feelings.
As for "Ye Jinyan", who had emotional interaction with Zhu Suosuo in the later stage, it was played by Chen Daoming, which belonged to the heavyweight level that could be taken out alone to play the "brand".
The "relatives and friends group" on Jiang Nansun's side is dominated by Wu Yanshu, a well-known "old drama bone" who has been active in the big and small screens in recent years, Wu Yufang, who just won the "Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress" with "Send Me to Qingyun", and Zhang Chenguang, who was once a front-line "romance student" in Taiwan, and they are also powerful factions that can be called "drama bones".
In the later stage, there are also Wu Yue, Wang Lin, Dong Zijian and Wang Xiao, who are recognized as acting.
At present, "Flowing Golden Years" is still in the stage of laying lines, whether it is Zhu Suosuo or Jiang Nansun, the story of the two people has not yet fully unfolded.
Although the current opening score of 7.5 is not high, but it is not low, on the basis of the "double heroine" has feelings, emotional paving, and smooth narrative, many viewers are very optimistic about the later trend of this drama.
In other words, the possibility of the "true incense" law appearing again is not small!
