CCTV production, must be a boutique!
Recently, the period drama "Mother Is Waiting for You" broadcast by CCTV Eight is very hot, and since it was broadcast, it has won the first place in the national ratings continuously, and I have to say that the works that can be broadcast on CCTV are indeed of unusual quality.

This is a drama drama, mainly about what happened in the 1970s, Zhou Qing (played by Song Jialun), the leader of the Heshan Police Regiment, was involved in a political storm and had no choice but to divorce his wife Shizhu (played by Zhang Yan), because only then could his wife and five children survive. Not only that, but he also forced his eldest son to break up with his girlfriend, and then went to the frontier and finally died on the battlefield.
Later, Shizhu regretted her decision very much, always believing that her son's death was related to her, so she not only raised 4 children with difficulty, but also finally accepted her son's lover Zhao Yingtong and child Yaoyao to live together. After a period of time, Zhou Qing cleared the charges and wanted to remarry with his wife Shizhu, but in order to protect Zhao Yingtong and his child Yaoyao, he finally refused Zhou Qing's request until his children and grandchildren were full of halls and slowly grew old, it can be said that Shizhu dedicated his life to the children.
As we all know, the works produced by CCTV are basically based on warm stories, and "Mother is Waiting for You" is exactly this kind of TV series, telling the joys and sorrows of the family, sadness and joy, which is very popular with mature women, which is also one of the reasons why this drama is so popular.
So why are CCTV-produced programs always well received and the ratings so high? In fact, it is inseparable from the following points!
The drama "Mother Is Waiting for You" takes the theme of the times and uses the form of a story to show the changes and successes of the times.
In this drama, the small character Shizhu is the main line, and the things that happen to the children and husbands are the branch points, coupled with the integration of bitter love dramas and period dramas, making this drama touching and affectionate.
It can be said that the growth experience of each child in the play represents the development of the times, first the husband's frame-up, helpless divorce, to the clearing of the charges and the requirement of compounding, and then because of this matter, the sacrifice of the eldest son makes her very guilty.
Because after having the eldest son, the mother Shizhu puts all the children's joys and sorrows first, and her own feelings become irrelevant. Busy for the career of her daughter and son-in-law, worried about the tuition fees of the third, worried about the imprisonment of the fourth, so the mother has never been idle, the times have been changing, and the mother's love for the children has not changed.
In that era, many mothers will be like the protagonist Shizhu, selfless dedication, which is also the reason why many viewers will be sad and tearful after seeing it, because parents they know this feeling, the practice of mothers in that era may not be well understood by the audience, but this also shows that our times are changing, people's thoughts and lives are also changing, "mother" Although it is still a "dedication" role, but their lives have become beautiful, will not be like before, a lifetime of living for children.
The TV series "Mother Is Waiting for You" took three years to create the TV series alone, and it was jointly created by the famous screenwriter Liang Zhenhua, Wu Haizhong, Jiang Yunmo and other outstanding screenwriters, plus a series of excellent behind-the-scenes team support such as young director Meng Liang, famous producer Zou Dawei, etc. This work is difficult to compare.
In addition, the actors in this drama are the main reason for the success of this drama, in addition to the crazy output of the acting skills of the main actors Zhang Yan and Song Jialun, there are also Zhao Jun, Zhang Weiyi, Wang Fangzheng, Tao Luoyi, Sun Shuang and many other powerful actors who have performed well.
In particular, Zhang Yan's acting skills can be said to be three points into the wood, and the mother Shizhu she plays just appeared to fight for the neighbors, simple dress, neat short hair, coupled with the idea of calculating for life, directly brought the audience into that era.
The difficulties in life are all a piece of cake for her, but the danger of her husband directly makes the whole family panic, and Zhang Yan at this time begins to be sentimental, and finally for the sake of the children, for the sake of the family, she can only choose divorce, and that helplessness and desolation are vividly interpreted by Zhang Yan.
The role played by Zhang Yan runs through the three characteristics of this drama, adulterous, atmospheric, and enthusiastic, which is the most common phenomenon of being a mother in that era, and these are all interpreted by Zhang Yan, so it is difficult for this drama not to be hot.
The story content of the TV series "Mother is Waiting for You" tells the real people and real events, and the screenwriter in order to make the role of the mother more real and intimate when he was created, so he read a lot of historical materials, specially selected the personal experiences of the four mothers from various historical images as the background template, and then added the later creation and story filling, which has today's work.
As the saying goes: a woman is weak, but a mother is strong.
In this drama, the mother's amazing energy for the safety of the child in the time of crisis reflects the greatness of maternal love, coupled with the bits and pieces of life, which further interprets the extraordinary meaning of ordinary people's lives because of mothers.
Why do today's young people not like to watch historical period dramas, because they can't accept what happened that year, coupled with the fact that the plot is wild, and the comparison with now is not very real, so such a plot movie is not very popular.
And this drama is about the characteristics of that era, which is a very bitter and bitter drama, coupled with the actors' true love performance, so many audiences will be brought in, resonate, and then look out of control.
So the above points, can be said to be the "magic weapon" of the first CCTV ratings, and the basic works broadcast on CCTV are very good works, "Mother is waiting for you" can also be regarded as the best of many works broadcast by CCTV in recent years, it is very worth watching, I don't know if everyone is interested in this drama?
