Over the years, various film and television themes have been falling like snowflakes, if any TV series can really make me achieve sleep and forget to eat, and tirelessly look at it, every time I look at it will have different feelings, then it must be Chen Sicheng's self-written and self-directed "Beijing Love Story".
This is a group of post-80s in Beijing hard work and love as the background of the story, although the theme is the post-80s, but the difficulties they face and the things they encounter are the setbacks that all ages in contemporary times will encounter or are encountering difficulties, temptations, money, poverty, ambition, wealth, rights, this item is closely related to our lives, and it is precisely because of this that this TV series is like being endowed with magic that attracts me to love it.
Chen Sicheng is the absolute pillar of this play, not only the lead actor, but also the director, and even the work of the screenwriter he has done, a solid top three.
Chen Sicheng plays a clumsy boy Cheng Feng in the play, whose father is the chairman of Dade Group and is born with a golden key.
Cheng Feng's identity is the general manager of the Dade Group, without going to work, he can get an annual salary of one million, and the most he does every day is to drive his BMW between various girls, and claims to be able to let any of the opposite sex fall into his charm within three days.
Li Chen plays a mild-mannered company employee Wu Di in the play, and he himself is not as brave as his name, but he is only a promise, hesitant, and admits death, does not know how to work, which also makes him entangled on the road of love.
Fortunately, the company boss was transferred, and the new boss was Wu Di's brother's original girlfriend, and over time, the two were happy with each other, but Wu Di's hesitant personality made him hesitate under the influence of his former girlfriend and could not take the last step.
Wu Di is a very sad and very anxious character in the play, the ex-girlfriend left him because of money, and he is a brother who does not take money as money, but his personality is partial to death, unwilling to ask his brother for money to chase back his beloved woman, such a hesitant personality also led to the female boss who finally flew away completely.
The soul of this drama is none other than Shi Xiaomeng, played by Zhang Yi.
I think there are two points that Shi Xiaomeng can resonate with the public, first, the children from the poor ravine, and second, obviously very hard but not ambitious.
Shi Xiaomeng was born in a small mountain village in Yunnan Province, since he was a child, he dreamed of leaving the mountains and going farther, so he did his best no matter what he did, but the sky was not what people wanted, because of only seven points in the college entrance examination, he and Tsinghua University were missing, and in Beijing University of Economics and Business he was among the best, but these are useless, after graduating from college, he can only work as a small worker in a small advertising agency.
During his part-time job, he often ate instant noodles to fill his hunger and worked very hard, but real life once again made him realize that he could not earn the life he wanted by hard work alone.
A person with great ambitions and ambitions, but always failing to meet opportunities is very frightening, so when he encountered Cheng Feng's father Cheng Shengen who proposed to give up his green plum bamboo horse in exchange for wealth and prosperity, he did not hesitate to agree.
This drama is called "Beijing Love Story", which naturally unfolds with love as the main line.
When Shi Xiaomeng first asked Cheng Feng to help pick up his girlfriend Shen Bing (Tong Liya), Cheng Feng fell in love with this girl from the countryside.
Cheng Feng fell in love with Shen Bing at first sight, which was also a fatal mistake made by Shi Xiaomeng.
Cheng Feng wanders among various girls all day long, he takes girls as a daily occupation into life, and living in a big city like Beijing, Cheng Feng can't meet a rural girl whose value is too different from his body value, and it is impossible to feel the simple temperament of a rural girl, so when Shen Bing appears, Cheng Feng is instantly fallen.
Shi Xiaomeng's mistake was that Cheng Feng, who had never been in contact with rural girls, should not be allowed to pick up his girlfriend, and the mistake Cheng Feng made was to almost bury his father's life's work.
Hu Rongqiang is Shi Xiaomeng's boss, and he is also an important person who makes Shi Xiaomeng blacken at a major turning point in the play, and he has a reasonable quote that I still remember.
Is there love under this day without bread?
Shi Xiaomeng believed in his buddies, but he didn't expect that Cheng Feng's mind of seeing Shen Bing was first discovered by Hu Rongqiang, the master of the flower moon.
Hu Rongqiang is a successful person in the eyes of Shi Xiaomeng, but he is worthless in front of the Dade Group, and Hu Rongqiang, as a businessman, is unscrupulous in order to make money, so when he learned that Cheng Feng liked Shen Bing, he directly started from Shi Xiaomeng to create opportunities for Cheng Feng, forcing Shi Xiaomeng to ask for advertising from Cheng Feng's group for him, so as to make a lot of money from it and enhance the popularity of his company.
Hu Rongqiang withheld the bonus of 80,000 yuan that originally belonged to Shi Xiaomeng to buy a house, and even forced Shi Xiaomeng to a dead end.
On the one hand, he was forced to give up the down payment of the house, not only let Shi Xiaomeng lose someone in front of his girlfriend, but also let him lose the savings he had accumulated over the years, but on the other hand, it was 300,000 annual salary and the position of general manager.
His purpose was achieved, Shi Xiaomeng in order to save his house, in order to save his girlfriend Shen Bing went to Cheng Feng to pressure the advertisement, and successfully handed it over to his hands, which also completely became the key reason for the collapse of his company, because he provoked an honest person who made him underestimate.
Cheng Sheng'en is the main character who makes Shi Xiaomeng blacken again, as the boss of the Dade Group, money is the most important thing, what he lacks most is the death of Cheng Feng's mother and the damage caused to Cheng Feng when he was young, so when he learned that Cheng Feng liked Shi Xiaomeng's girlfriend, he made up his mind to win for his son at all costs.
Being able to lead a group to the listing, Cheng Shengen's means are obviously worse and more direct than Hu Rongqiang's.
He directly promised Shi Xiaomeng not to lose the position and salary of his son Cheng Feng, and directly let Shi Xiaomeng jump up to become a successful person, and this only required Shi Xiaomeng to nod, give up his love relationship with shen bing, and not take the initiative to meet with him.
As a loser who came out of a poor ravine and always worked harder than others but did not get one percent of what others had, the conditions set by Cheng Sheng'en were like a fountain of life in the desert to him.
As the saying goes, hitting a snake seven inches, Cheng Sheng'en is worthy of being a shrewd businessman, and this blow hit Shi Xiaomeng's seventy inches, right in the middle of the red heart.
In the face of the results he has always wanted to have and has been desperately trying to pursue, Shi Xiaomeng gradually wavered, in contrast, love and bread, it seems that bread is more important.
And Cheng Sheng'en's words completely made Shi Xiaomeng let go of all the guards in his heart:
You look at the road, all kinds of people, hurried, most of them are for the sake of livelihood and hard work, but not everyone among them can have this opportunity to really change their destiny, so the opportunity is difficult to say, maybe tomorrow will be better, maybe, from your side of the shoulder will never be touched, there is a point that is both realistic and cruel you have thought about it, that is love, love is not a castle in the air, he needs a strong material foundation to do the foundation, to do security, Xiao Meng, Shen Bing still loves you now, maybe because she is not deeply involved in the world, she still has illusions about love, but can you guarantee that she will not be assimilated into this world? How long can her love, her faith, last? What if she were faced with the same choice as you? The sign of a man's maturity is to know how to give up and know how to choose! I think your choice is not only to help me, to help Cheng Feng, to help yourself, and perhaps, to help Shen Bing?
Shi Xiaomeng wants to pursue the life he wants, but he can't let go of the favorite Shen Bing, but in his heart, bread is actually more important than love, after all, bread is something he has been pursuing since birth, so when Cheng Shengen said this, he also gave Shi Xiaomeng a step down, if Shen Bing is also facing the same choice, perhaps, she will also choose bread?
If Hu Rongqiang and Cheng Sheng'en are the two main forces in the play, then the love entanglement between Yang Zixi (Yang Mi) and Wu Di is the key to assisting these two main forces to blacken Shi Xiaomeng.
Yang Zixi and Wu Di were both classmates of Shi Xiaomeng and Cheng Feng during college, and during college, Shi Xiaomeng was very envious of Wu Di and Yang Zixi's pure love, but soon after leaving school, Yang Zixi left Wu Di for money.
Then, when Yang Zixi is bullied by Andy (Yuan Wenkang), she is determined to return to Wu Di, but Andy's flower shop once again allows Yang Zixi to betray Wu Di in public.
And all this was looked at by Shi Xiaomeng, when Yang Zixi sat in Andy's car, the surprise and shock in Shi Xiaomeng's eyes overflowed into words.
At the same time, Shi Xiaomeng's opponent Fan Jidong, who has always been in the advertising agency, said to him:
We are all marginal people living in this city, and before we can truly integrate into this city, it is necessary to make some sacrifices, which is likely to include our love. Even from now on, we can no longer have pure love, it can only be, it can only be the fate of those of us who cannot escape.
Yes, when we want to get something, we will definitely lose something, but these things are light and heavy, and it also depends on whether what you get is light or heavy, which is not a law, but an inevitable definition.
Just like this definition, Shi Xiaomeng got everything, but he also lost everything, the woman he loved the most, and the innocence he once had.
He became the general manager of The Dade Group, no less than The position of Cheng Feng, starting with an annual salary of one million, watching others work, taking other people's wages, and the thirty-eight square meters small apartment that once almost killed him has now become a drizzle.
In a short period of time, he also cleared the accounts owed to Cheng Feng and Wu Di after going to work from college, and at the same time let his old owner Hu Rongqiang completely collapse the foreshadowing he had buried in the contract, Hu Rongqiang paid for his own organ calculations, and his life's hard work was wasted.
The passage that Shi Xiaomeng said when he finally left the wine table touched me deeply, he said:
Brother, in fact, I feel very uncomfortable when I see you like this. In fact, no matter what you do, I will not help you, because this is what you deserve. Do you think I will be like you, like you, like crazy people, looking at other people's wives and attacking others? In fact, I have always been really true, really looking at you as a brother.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from his words that he does not want to be a bad person, all of this is forced to helpless, forced by life to be helpless, in order to survive, he had to do this.
Why can Shi Xiaomeng resonate with the public, because he really lives out the process of our ordinary people, having to give up, but not giving up, but not giving up but impossible, entangled, upset, helpless, but had to do.
And what really blackened Shi Xiaomeng was not only that.
After Shi Xiaomeng gave up his love relationship with Shen Bing, Cheng Feng's pursuit of Shen Bing was even more open, and since he was not his brother's wife, then he could put aside all his worries and go all out.
Cheng Feng chased Shen Bing from Beijing to Tengchong, Yunnan, and finally let Shen Bing's mother use the ring he used to trick the girls into using as a wedding ring for Shen Bing to bring.
And this also completely blackened Shi Xiaomeng, since you are not kind, then don't blame me for being unjust.
The Daedeok Group is actually not stable, and Liang Junzheng, who has been working with Cheng Shengen to build the Dade Group, has actually always had ideas about the Dade Group, and he is not accustomed to Cheng Shengen's inaction for many years, and has always wanted to take control of the Dade Group into his own hands.
When he tested Shi Xiaomeng step by step, he finally pulled Shi Xiaomeng into the gang and completely moved against the Dade Group.
By the time Cheng Feng reacted, it was too late, the Dade Group had become the pocket of others, and his father, who had been holding up an umbrella for him, was imprisoned, leaving him alone in the world.
But is Shi Xiaomeng better? In fact, he was the saddest one.
He got money, got the respect of others, got everything, but lost everything as a man, the person who loved himself, and the person he loved, not only Cheng Feng left him, Wu Di and his former good friends left him, he could finally say that he had nothing.
As Tong Cheng Feng once said when arguing with his father: "You don't know what is called nothing, no, no, no, you will know, when one day, there is only a pile of broken money left to accompany you." ”
Indeed, Shi Xiaomeng left nothing but money.
In the final outcome, Shi Xiaomeng designed to let Cheng Feng and the beautiful woman misplace photos and send them to Shen Bing, he hoped that Shen Bing would misunderstand Cheng Feng and leave Cheng Feng, so that he could take advantage of it.
He did do the math, but he did.
Shen Bing had a car accident and was admitted to the hospital.
Because of his own faults, his beloved person may not be able to wake up for a lifetime, and Shi Xiaomeng completely gave up all resistance.
He threw his wallet in the trash, gave up all his assets, took the initiative to go into the police station to report himself and Liang Junzheng, and eventually went to jail.
The most painful thing about the TV series "Beijing Love Story" is Shi Xiaomeng, because he came out of a poor ravine, the way is not easy, fighting for the ideal but not better than the conspiracies and tricks of others, obviously has unlimited potential but useless.
And the most hateful thing is also him, because he later became a person who did not hesitate to achieve the goal, destroying the advertising company of the old owner, the business of the brothers, and even his good friend Lin Xia (Zhang Xinyi) did not let go of the first time, he hurt many people who should not be hurt.
I understand very well the line he said:
You wear the same color as the wall, you stand on the street without saying a word, there will always be someone to check the temporary residence permit, and the two words stability will never belong to you
Once upon a time, I also stayed in Beijing, looking for a job can not find, three days to eat a bowl of noodles, I even drank the soup, even hungry even want to eat the bowl, I carried the suitcase crouched in the corner, looking at the crowds coming and going, alone to experience the loneliness, loneliness, at that time is more lonely, what fear is actually not important.
Some people say that Shi Xiaomeng did something wrong, saying that he took the initiative to give up his love and chose bread, and everything started from the beginning of his wrongness.
Perhaps only those who are born in it or who are struggling at the bottom need to live can truly understand how strong the poor people's desire and luxury for success really are.
