Beijing, June 7 (Ren Siyu) On June 5, the TV series "Rumored Chen Qianqian" held a fan meeting, there were no big stars, no big productions, no fan base for original scripts, but this costume sweet pet drama made many viewers bluntly catch up with "the top". Since its inception, Amway, which often appears on the Internet as "tap water" viewers, TV series related topics and starring names have repeatedly appeared on the hot search list.
In this summer of sweet pet dramas, why is "Rumored Chen Qianqian" on fire?
Stills from the TV series "Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Have you ever seen such a story setting?
"Rumored Chen Qianqian" tells the story of "seven-stream young screenwriter" Chen Xiaoqian accidentally "stuck" in the script he wrote in his overworked work, but when she woke up, she did not become the heroine, but became the cannon fodder character Chen Qianqian who received a box lunch in 3 episodes.
In the original script, the male protagonist Han Shuo (played by Ding Yuxi) is the lord of Xuanhu City, who originally intended to seduce Chen Chuchu, the lord of the second county, when he entered Huayuan City, but was accidentally robbed by the wayward third princess Chen Qianqian (played by Zhao Lusi) on the street, so on the wedding night, Han Shuo used a glass of poisonous wine to make Chen Qianqian quickly "go offline".

But at this moment, in order to save his life and quickly return to the real world, Chen Qianqian, as a screenwriter, must open the perspective of God to add drama to himself online, unexpectedly, in the yin and yang mistakes of "magic changing the script", he had feelings with the original incompatible male protagonist.
What first made "Rumored Chen Qianqian" out of the circle was the various surprises in its plot setting.
The men of Xuanhu City are in charge, but in the main background of the story, Huayuan City, the woman is the protagonist. This is a world of "women are superior to men", women are officials, women are lords of the city, women are born golden, men are inferior, there is a way that "men are virtuous without talent", and the social class decreases in order according to "men, peasants, industrialists, and men"...
Once this peculiar setting is installed, many words often heard in reality slightly flip the gender, and there is a strong irony.
For example, if a man wears cool clothes, he will be said to be unconventional by passers-by: if he is slighted, he blames himself for not knowing the inspection; if he can't give birth to a girl, he will be scolded by the elders; if he wants to study and change his destiny, it is better to read "Male Virtue" and find a good family early.
It satirizes some of the unfair phenomena in society in a light-hearted and playful tone, and the freshness of this setting and the sense of substitution of social topics are the reasons why many viewers first entered the pit.
What is rare is that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is not to hit one side and praise one side, at the beginning of the plot, the screenwriter Chen Xiaoqian's female script was questioned by the male lead actor, "The basis of love is equality."
And when the heroine really went deep into her own script, she also began to promote the equality of men and women in the city, she liberated the male musicians of the Church Division, encouraged men with gender inferiority to do what they wanted to do, and did not hesitate to blow up the lucky pulse to save the miners under the mine... In the end, it also echoed what the male protagonist said before.
"Anti-routine" sweet pet drama?
With the development of the plot, the story focus of "Rumored Chen Qianqian" still returns to its essence - sweet pet. What was repeatedly discussed by the audience was also the "sadomasochism" and "sugar" of love between the male and female protagonists.
In the evaluation of netizens, this drama not only has a sweet pet, but also a humorous and decompression of the "sand sculpture sweet pet drama".
Screenwriter Chen Qianqian originally had insight into all the character characteristics and was confident that all the plots were under control, but she did not expect that her characters were all "drama coffee" and completely uncontrolled, so the story began to go in a strange direction -
According to the setting, Han Shuo was smart and dark, and originally planned to wait for the opportunity to blow up Huayuan City, but after crossing Chen Qianqian, in order to survive, began to come up with various ways to "please" the male protagonist, and the male protagonist who had a lot of inner drama also found that Chen Qianqian was not as arrogant as the rumors, so he fell in love with her in a series of coincidences and "self-brain supplements".
In the original script, Han Shuo and chen Chuchu, the second county lord, should be a pair, in order to quickly promote the story to the finale, Chen Qianqian wanted to try to match the two together, but each time the more chaotic the matching, and finally forced to become the lord of the little city.
Another example is the treasure of Huayuan City and the keel that Han Shuo painstakingly wanted to get, which seems to be the main clue to promote the whole drama, and the result was just appeared in episode 5, just after episode 6 hastily went offline. A variety of anti-routine plots and dense laugh points also make the audience evaluate "funny and up".
Not only the protagonist, the personality of each supporting role in the play is also very distinct, such as the two retinues of the male and female protagonists always "spoil" the good things of the two, which is called "insufficient success and more than cp"; the supporting actress who has been opposed to Chen Qianqian has successively encountered various unfortunate events such as family property being ended, mine being struck by lightning and so on...
The official barrage that comes with the series is also particularly interesting, such as the screenwriter's straightforward and frank role is "bringing funds into the group"; when the male protagonist is domineering and exposed to protect the female protagonist and yells "who dares to move her", he is spat at by the small soldier next to him: "No one wants to move her, we want to move you." ”
Sweet pet drama, how else can you shoot?
In recent years, sweet pet dramas have become an increasingly popular type of online drama, "old, can't see too serious and sadistic, just want to see sweet love from beginning to end", "life is difficult, want to watch simple and happy brainless sweet pet drama to decompress".
In order to meet the needs of the audience, video platforms have launched the Sweet Pet Theater, and a large number of sweet pet dramas have appeared on the market, covering urban love, youth campus, costume light comedy and so on... In the first half of this year, there were many dramas such as "Rock Sugar Stewed Sydney", "To Our Sweet Little Happiness", "Warm and Warm, Please Advise", "Too Thick Color", etc. On the line, most of their routines are similar, group cp, show fairy tale-like love stories, and infinitely "sprinkle sugar" on the audience.
Although the audience's requirements for sweet pet dramas are not high, but also as some comments said, "sweet pets want to be too sweet to be embarrassed and difficult", the current sweet pet dramas began to pile up, how to make the audience feel "sweet but not greasy", but also to avoid homogeneous plot routines, testing the creators' ability to innovate.
Compared to the "Happiness, Within Reach" broadcast at the same time! "" and other sweet pet dramas, "Rumored Chen Qianqian" jumped out of the traditional Mary Sue routine, first with the fresh setting of gender inversion, as well as humorous and funny plot to seize everyone's attention, at the same time, the interpretation of several actors can also trigger the resonance of the audience.
It is a little regrettable that although "Chen Qianqian in the Rumors" was first circled out of the circle because of the topic of "equality between men and women", the subsequent discussion of these issues did not go deeper, and there are some places where the plot logic is debatable. However, because of its positioning of sweet pet dramas, as the screenwriter Nanzhen said on Weibo, "I just want to do a ha from the beginning to the end", the audience will not explore its profound practical significance, sweet, cool, laugh is enough.
"Rumored Chen Qianqian" is on fire, who will be the next sweet pet drama to break through? (End)
