"Seeing the picture of the whale flying outside the carriage, I feel that the Korean drama is really amazing, it can always give me new excitement." On Douban, netizens commented on "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" ". This Korean drama, which relies entirely on word-of-mouth to bring "fire", has reached 9.0 points, ranking among the ranks of "divine dramas".
only watched the first two episodes, I believe many people will question: why? There are too many bad stalks in
"The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen":
First of all, the frame comes from "Forrest Gump". The heroine (Yu Yingmin) is a patient with autism spectrum disorder, but she shows off her talents, kills the Quartet, and wins the love of a handsome guy. This kind of "opening story" has become a routine.
Secondly, the tool people are flying: emotionally, her boyfriend is a "vase + golden finger", chased by countless beauties, but only obsessed with the heroine; in the workplace, the villain who only does evil and does not work (Quan Minyu), serious But the fair boss (Jung Myung Suk) and the one-strand protector (Cui Xiuyan) are all complete sets, paving the way for the heroine's legendary life; plus a bad relationship (the heroine is the illegitimate daughter of a lawyer Han Xuanrong)... The cast is basically Can be written as: heroine + others.
Third, the mentally retarded plot: For example, in the first episode, the old couple fights each other, and the wife kills the husband. In half a minute, the old gentleman must "die of a stroke, not a heavy blow", and the plot can be reversed. To portray professional autopsy personnel as stupid as screenwriters is really hard-pressed "suspense". The strange thing about
is that there are so many slots, "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" is good-looking, where is the "magic"?
uses "anti-aircraft" to tell stories
has a "normal" heart
Judging from the structure of the story, "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" is a standard "anti-shelf" - the protagonist behaves absurdly and lacks life experience. What ordinary people can do well is extremely difficult for her, but she has an amazing memory and clear thinking.
adopts "anti-shelf" to break through the sense of repetition of "positive shelf".
There are only so many good stories. The predecessors have written them all, and the later generations can only write about the marginal people, which gradually evolved into a competition of "seeking strange things". The success of "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" is that it has never forgotten the original intention of "telling a story". Humans are animals that love stories, however, stories are inaccurate summaries of the world. This has shaped our unique view of stories: it doesn't matter if the story is false or the structure is false, as long as the life experience is true.
However, too many edge stories cover up the real life experience: as individuals, we have all been affected by "whether I love him (her)", "whether he (she) loves me", "how to express", "love and sympathy, pity" "What is the difference between liking" and "how does love begin?" Existence precedes essence, but love must transcend existing experience. A person who can answer "what is love" is destined to be unable to love, but instead becomes a slave of reason. In "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen", the heroine repeatedly entangled in the existence of love, and under the guidance of the "fake expert" girlfriend (Dong Grami), she hesitated and absurd, which made it suddenly cut from "anti-shelf" to "" Straightforwardness", instantly enlightened the audience: this is not a "weird for strange" story, it focuses on people, from which we can see people's growth and real life experience - not everyone can become Yu Yingzhen, but the whale that made Yu Yingzhen linger in his dreams has always been in everyone's heart.
It defends "creation must be related to conscience"
On the basis of "real life experience", "Extraordinary Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" takes another step forward, that is, it presents a strong spirit of critical reality: simple and simple in traditional small villages. People, for the demolition money, betrayed the old Lichang; falsely claimed patents and brought competitors to court, thus quickly occupying the market, the professionalism and enthusiasm of lawyers turned into accomplices; rich people can afford good lawyers, and disadvantaged groups oppose it. become a victim, but the big law firm is the institution that provides the most "legal aid", and it seems to have become a "great benevolent person"... The play is full of torture on the structural predicament of modern society. Several cases of
are thought-provoking:
The autistic girl knew her boyfriend was a scumbag, but still had sex with him. The girl's mother took the man to court for rape, but do autistic patients have the autonomy to act? Can she be considered a complete person? The mother is so engrossed in overprotectiveness that she completely ignores her daughter's feelings. In the end, the jury ruled 4:3 that the man was innocent, and the judge still sentenced the man to two years in prison. Behind the narrative of "bad people are punished", human beings often deviate from the facts and harm others reasonably.
's eldest son who was admitted to a prestigious school is overwhelmedThe autistic young son failed to rescue and was mistaken for "sudden madness and murder". The hope of an elite father who is proud of his eldest son is shattered. His vanity makes him unable to face the truth. When the voice of the weak is not heard, he is seen as a threat, a villain, a criminal, and even loses the trust of those closest to him.
Fang Fupu's mother is the owner of the cram school. He used sleeping pills to make the school bus driver stunned and took the children to play in the mountains. The children's parents were furious, thinking that Fang Fupu had committed a felony of child abduction. Acknowledging that he was confused for a while, Fang Kuipu had the chance to be sentenced lightly, but Fang Kuipu refused to back down. In the tangle, Yu Yingzhen found that the children in the cram school were in "blocked classes", which lasted for several hours, and only went to the toilet once in the middle, and they would be scolded for going to the toilet twice. Children are tortured because their parents want them to go to elite schools. Fang Fupu made the long-lost smile return to the faces of the children. So, as a prisoner of conscience, should the lawyer say that Fang Fupu is confused, or tell the truth?
The adult world is never perfect, nor can it be perfect, so we have to have the courage to face it, and we need the blessing of moral power. "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" depicts too many people who have been insulted and damaged, which makes it away from the level of making up a bizarre story, cheating a few tears, selling handsome men and beautiful women, and defending "creation must be related to conscience" narrative tradition.
is not only in the ears and in the heart, but also in the brain.
depicts individual growth and faces social problems. It is not enough to become a "magical drama". It is related to the soul, related to eternity.
In "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen", the most exciting thing is Yu Yingzhen's love for whales. She babbled on Amway Whale Encyclopedia regardless of what other people thought; she angrily said that the killer whale in the aquarium can only live for 4 years, while its lifespan in nature is 40 years; in every dilemma, she will think of the whale, Immediately, she opened her mind; in the subway after get off work, she could see whales soaring in the air...
symbolism is not new, what is novel is the huge value system behind the whale metaphor: love is to give freedom.
People have the instinct of love, but the rapid development of modern society has far exceeded the speed of evolution. The instinctive love we prepared for the small group life in the jungle can no longer adapt to the highly complex reality. Parents may abandon their children, people who love each other may become strangers, loyalty becomes weakness... Modern people no longer have the dignity and calmness of "noble barbarians", and they want to know "who I am" and "who controls me". Do your homework. As a motto of
, "Love is to give freedom" is not difficult to understand, but how many people are willing to give their lover a choice? How many people are willing to let their children grow up? How many people do not want to take possession of things they love? How many people can tolerate the mistakes of their loved ones? ... Today, love needs to be learned, and it needs repeated friction of frustration, despair, suffering, and mediocrity. Only then can you know whether your soul is truly free, and whether you can silently guard and protect yourself with the sobriety and tolerance of a bystander. Look after each other. This can understand the most difficult deduction in the play: why does the male protagonist with excellent conditions fall in love with the "abnormal" female protagonist?
is because she is completely uninhibited in Yu Yingzhen. She never tries to change others, nor does she accept others' shaping of her. Her charm does not come from talent, but because she can accept everything without possessing it. The whale in her heart is not bound by all things and moves freely. Her hesitation about love, on the surface, is inexperienced, but it is fundamentally insecure - there are too few truly structured and unruly souls, and she cannot confirm that the same is true for the male protagonist. Is it irresponsible or selfish for
to choose to accompany and watch? Different people can have different answers, the key depends on whether they can express it. Telling a story of the human world with value, not only in the ears, in the heart, but also in the brain, this is a lesson for the current Chinese film and television creators.
has been studying Korean dramas for 20 years, and what have I learned?
's creation is not an exam, not making fewer mistakes than anyone else, but to see who has more real and deeper feelings about life, and whether they can convey these feelings.
should specifically explain that it is easy to misunderstand "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" from the perspective of "actors perform really well" and "really like an autistic patient". Some of the performance elements of the heroine in
have nothing to do with autism. The body movements of most autistic patients are not so exaggerated. In addition, emphasizing the special abilities of autistic patients also spreads " moment".The performance is to cater to the public's understanding of autistic patients, and the "image" they mistaken is often far from reality. In "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen", there is indeed the delicateness of Korean drama performances, such as details Obsessive-compulsive disorder on the Internet, the need to hug tightly when you are afraid, and the handshake should not exceed tens of seconds, but without these, "Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" is still beautiful. The real problem of
is that when domestic dramas talk about learning Korean dramas, they only pay attention to these. Appearance.
In many film and television dramas, when it comes to love between men and women, it must be that men are gentle and women are strong; men are good at cooking and housework, women only focus on career and emotions; women are often drunk and tell the truth, while men keep Chastity, freedom of advance and retreat; the heroine wins the battle of wits time and time again, and the male protagonist must fall from the sky at every difficult moment... All of these are mostly taken from Korean dramas. As details, there is nothing wrong with them, but if they are regarded as general details, they will be installed in countless works. , and these works do not want to strive for gender equality, nor focus on the growth of the soul, nor do they want to express difficulties and setbacks... This is turning magic into decay.
just wants to live peeling techniques, as chili noodles, pepper powder and monosodium glutamate Use, the low imitation imitates the pattern to be smaller and smaller, and gradually shows a difference in civilization from the original. When
watches "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen", you should watch the whales flying in the sky, not the advanced plagiarism of the academic school. Take other people's observations as your own, and "classicize" the buns that others have chewed. There is no denying that "The Very Lawyer Yu Yingzhen" is just a market drama, but it shows a lot of tolerance that many works labeled as "serious dramas" do not have. , can not help but be thought-provoking.
