In order to take "shortcuts", some creators often fall into the routine creation mode, which also reduces the work to an emotional drama that rarely touches the professional texture and industry logic and ethics. For a long period of time, domestic workplace dramas have always been trapped in the pitfalls of "workplace dramas are not professional" and "realistic themes do not fall to the ground", and even once become a creative bottleneck that is difficult to break through.
This is exactly whybreaks the routine creation model, looks for dramatic conflicts between the fate of professional talents and the real development of the industry, and even eliminates the love line of the domestic workplace drama "Ordinary Glory", its appearance seems so full. precious. On September 4, the premiere of "Ordinary Glory" only aired one episode, which attracted many audiences shouting: "I can finally see a workplace drama that depicts the reality of the workplace and insight into human nature."

Insights into realistic and sensible workplace group portraits
Workplace is a topic that every adult cannot avoid. It occupies a very long and very important stage of life.

Once the workplace involved in such works becomes the background board of the story, it will attract the audience to vote with their feet relentlessly. Based on this, "Ordinary Glory" can be said to be a rare work with awe in the workplace.

The important characters, core events and main contradictions in the play all revolve around the workplace. Here, the workplace is no longer the background of the story, but a real subject. This kind of creative texture can be clearly felt by the audience in the first episode. Focusing on the entry of Sun Yiqiu, the paratrooper, team leader Wu Kezhi clearly expressed his dislike after seeing his lack of expertise. Lin Yuming even more disregarded this "three no products" with no experience, no education, and no background. Regardless, Gao Sicong did not dare to offend him because of his status as an airborne soldier, and took the initiative to relieve Sun Yiqiu, who made a fool of himself...

Analyst Sun Yiqiu, or Lan Qianyi, who is troubled by gender discrimination in the workplace...There is no stalwart image of Gao Daquan in the play. Every character is self and realistic, and the audience can see his own shadow. Once the characters stand, the foundation of the story will be established.
In the workplace, everyone is a connected but independent individual. In such a workplace ukiyoe, you can imagine how new employees integrate into workplace life, how to deal with the relationship between colleagues, what kind of friendship and growth will be born between the superior and the superior What kind of "open guns and dark arrows" will be faced? All these details are based on Sun Yiqiu's entry into the workplace as the starting point, and it also allows "Ordinary Glory" to fully restore the various scenarios that may be faced in the workplace. In front of the audience.

Communication and collaboration based on trust are the most fundamental workplace strategy. This also perfectly shows the spiritual connotation of the play-"success stems from mutual trust".
In the performance of Sun Yiqiu’s career growth, "Ordinary Glory" neither allowed the protagonist to go alone all the way, nor did the so-called emotional drama overwhelm the audience. Instead, it used real and moving emotional temperature to make teachers and apprentices also friends. A lot of emotions such as love, comrades fighting side by side among colleagues, parental care for their children, and many other emotions tightly wrap the core of the drama. This kind of growth history is smooth and more layered, whether it is in narrative logic or emotional expression. Convincing enough.

In him, he carries the identity imagination and self-projection of countless young professionals, and his growing role arc has also gained the emotional resonance of young people.
