uses vivid stories to express modern interaction
In the current social transition period, intergenerational relationship not only involves the values and lifestyles formed by people born in different eras due to their different living environments, education levels, occupational habits, life experience, etc. Common differences are discussed, and social issues such as the potential impact of the family of origin on the growth of children and the impact of population aging on the family are discussed in depth. To some extent, intergenerational relationship is a microcosm of social relationship, intergenerational conflict is a manifestation of social problems, and intergenerational interaction is an important part of social communication. Therefore, paying attention to intergenerational topics is of positive significance for promoting mutual understanding among various groups and promoting the harmonious development of society.
In recent years, many TV drama creators have keenly captured this social dynamic and have paid attention to intergenerational topics. This is reflected in the works of various themes, especially in the themes of youth, education and family ethics, showing distinct characteristics of the times. For example, the issue of the college entrance examination has become an important drama fulcrum of dramas such as "Big Exam", "Youth School", " Xiaohuanxi ", " I don't want to be friends with you ", " grow up with you ", " Xiao Shede " "Putting his attention on the earlier process of rising from young to primary school and primary school, " Happy Family " focuses on the relationship between adult children and their parents, " Little Farewell ", " Take Dad to Study Abroad " focuses on the issue of studying abroad, "Youth Pie 2" and "Xiao Huanxi" focus on depression in students, "Old Girlfriend" and "Hey, Old Man!" " to discuss pension topics, etc. The TV drama cuts into the social texture by depicting the state and development of intergenerational relations, and constructs a discussion field for social issues.
solves the intergenerational conflict with a positive attitude
The development of science and technology and the progress of the times have accelerated the iteration of talents. Schoolwork and future have put pressure on the younger generation, allowing them to gradually mature as they grow up; the middle-aged and elderly dilemmas such as having a second child, job transfer, and retirement have brought new challenges to the parent generation, prompting them to constantly adjust themselves and find new social positioning and life coordinates. These newly emerged TV dramas vividly show the dilemma and confusion of the two generations, as well as their efforts to find a way out of happiness in the emotional entanglement with each other, thus enriching and deepening the understanding of intergenerational relations, and laying out a relatively broad perspective. A picture of social life.
serves as the flashpoint of the plot, and intergenerational conflicts generally exist in related works, which constitute an important narrative driving force for the play. Conflict undertakes important functions such as releasing dramatic tension, shaping character images, transforming character relationships, and promoting the direction of plot development. In TV dramas that explore intergenerational topics, the source of conflict is the ideological gap between the two generations. For example, in "I Don't Want to Be Friends With You", middle school girl Li Jinjin hopes to get to know her father she has never met, longs to end her life of constantly renting and moving, and runs away from home after a violent conflict with her single mother Li Qingtong; "Little Joy" In , Qiao Yingzi suffered from depression due to the influence of his parents' divorce and the pressure of his mother's strength. The creators of
usually take a positive attitude towards the performance of intergenerational relations, take intergenerational communication as the keynote, and adopt a "conflict-reconciliation" approach to lead the will and emotion of the two generations to merge. Li Jinjin and his mother Li QingtongAfter becoming friends, I learned about her plight, hardships and sacrifices. Qiao Yingzi's mother, Song Qian, constantly reflects on the adverse effects of her paranoid behavior on her daughter. In the structure of the play, intergenerational conflict is the result of the development of character relationships and plots, as well as the reason for the direction of the characters and the continuation of the plot. It has the narrative function of pushing the plot to a climax, and its intensity and complexity are also buried in the subsequent plots. A series of foreshadowing.
Think with reality to promote intergenerational communication
How can intergenerational communication help two generations move from conflict to reconciliation? Different plays submitted their own answer sheets. The more representative ones are the reverse-seeking model and the value confluence model. The mode of seeking others in reverse means that the two generations can actively reflect on each other, correct themselves, go both ways, and finally resolve conflicts. For example, "Little Joy" juxtaposes high school children and their parents in a structure. At the same time, it shows the youthful choices of children under the pressure of the college entrance examination and the life tests that parents have to face. The two sides continue to face challenges and solve problems in the process. Understand and consider each other, recognize and adjust themselves, and finally reach a reconciliation, and each has completed their life growth. The value convergence model means that the two generations have found common values and meaning in life, and face the common value direction side by side, so as to respect and understand each other and achieve harmony. For example, in "Youth School 2", Wang Shengnan, who resigned in middle age, joined the palliative care volunteer team under the influence of her husband Lin Dawei. He regained his sense of value when helping others and found a new way for himself to reintegrate into society; they Her daughter Lin Miaomiao and her friends used the Internet to help the seriously ill Yu Jia realize her dream of "Little Rabbit Touring China", and she also gained spiritual growth. Yu Jia's death made Lin Miaomiao hard to let go. Her father told her: "Death can end life, but it cannot end the emotional connection between people." The play's handling of intergenerational relationships is based on a common value basis: inquiry The meaning of life, the pursuit of life value. When facing life itself, the two generations are moved, inspired, and discovered by the same value and meaning. This is the fulcrum of the play's meaning, the basis for the harmonious development of intergenerational relationships, and the achievement between the characters and the audience in the play. The medium of emotional resonance .
Intergenerational relationship is a grand social topic, covering all aspects of study, work and life. The problems that are scattered in everyone's life involve the emotional maintenance of a family and even multiple groups, affect generations of old, middle-aged and young people of various ages, and also affect the harmony and harmony of the entire society. Therefore, it is very important to establish a good intergenerational relationship, resolve intergenerational conflicts, and achieve intergenerational communication. A recent batch of TV dramas focusing on intergenerational relations seek to be superb in ideology, profound in human nature, accurate in content expression, and wonderful in form presentation. Through vivid writing of intergenerational communication, they deeply explore the value of life. and meaning, strive to improve the ideological height and artistic quality of the works, and implement the creative spirit of realism in the subtleties of audio-visual presentation.
