On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2020, the epidemic came suddenly, and the senior three students in Jinhe County faced unprecedented severe tests. Just when everyone overcame the difficulties to meet the college entrance examination, another flood broke out... The TV series " Big Exam " is being broadcast on CCTV, Dragon TV , , iQiyi and other platforms are popular. Although the story happened two years ago, the epidemic, online classes, and the delay of the college entrance examination are also keywords for this year's students, so they can be called "closest to life". TV series.

is true, which is the biggest feature of this TV series. The five children and five families in the play are all typical and fresh. Tian Wenwen, a "left-behind child", is independent on the outside, but longs for the love of her parents in her heart; Zhou Bowen, a "student tyrant", is highly self-disciplined and gives her father a break from Internet addiction while preparing for the exam; Gao Mingyu, who lives in the countryside, has excellent grades and is reluctant to take care of his only relative, grandfather. Back to school and resumed classes; Pan Xiaoxuan, whose parents are divorced and has a superior family background, seems to be a condescending child, but in fact he is a man of righteousness. Among the many parent-child relationships, the relationship between Wu Jiajun and his mother can most pierce the hearts of current children. Wu's mother is a strong "tiger mother". Her catchphrase is "it's all for your own good" and "you will thank me in the future". She removed the door lock on the grounds that "there is no privacy between mother and son"; Supervising Wu Jiajun's studies, he was always by his side; he opposed his participation in the art examination, and also destroyed the paintings he had drawn for several months. But Wu Jiajun is determined not to give up his artistic dream and fight his mother's wits and courage... Although the story of
takes place in the county seat, the characters and scenes can be found all over the country and even in first-tier cities. Principal Shi ( Chen Baoguo ) of No. 4 Middle School and Principal Wang ( Wang Qianyuan ) of No. 1 Middle School represent the two educational concepts of "high efficiency and high quality" and "Ti Hai tactics" respectively. Some scenes are almost documentary, such as the video conference of the Education Bureau about online classes, such as teachers getting stuck in online classes, such as students returning to classes and entering the school to take their temperature one by one... Also, in the first episode, the physical education class was occupied, because "physical education" The teacher is sick", netizens said that their physical education teacher's "sickness" in the third year of high school was no better.
What's more valuable is that as a work of art, "The Big Test" is not satisfied with replicating life, but refines, reproduces and sublimates the reality of life in artistic language. Here are two examples: Gao Mingyu and his grandfather depended on each other for life. When they returned to their impoverished home during the winter vacation, they saw the frail and sick grandfather. After hearing this, grandfather slapped the table angrily: "If you don't take the university entrance exam well, how can I explain to your underground parents? If I am afraid that I will drag you down, I will drink pesticides and die now!" Qin Yan and young actor Xu Yihang performed delicately and realistically, which made people cry.
Director Qin (played by Guo Tao) of the county education bureau went to the telecommunications company twice to find an old friend (played by Hu Yajie ) who was the boss. Both times, he carried a box of cheap tea and was laughed at both times. But the purpose of his visit was first to ask a group of poor senior high school students to take online classes on mobile phones, and the second time was to install base stations for Gao Mingyu's village, and also to allow students to take online classes. Regarding the second appeal, the general manager told him that the base station was built in this village a few years ago, but it was demolished because of complaints from villagers. What a real reality this is! In the end, under Director Qin's hard work, the general manager agreed to build another base station and gave back a bottle of wine to Director Qin's old father. The two opposite scenes between Guo Tao and Hu Yajie are in a light comedy style and full of warm colors, which makes people laugh and sigh: In order to make Gao Mingyu and more poor students pass the college entrance examination, the director also worked hard!
It is recognized that TV dramas with realistic themes are difficult to shoot, and the closer it is to the current life, the more difficult it is to shoot, because it cannot be passed through and cannot be made up. Every family has candidates, and everyone is a parent. If you are not careful, you will be called "too fake" and "dog blood". At the same time, the audience does not want to see the same life as themselves in the play, which is out of the aesthetic requirement of "defamiliarization". Behind the "defamiliarization" lens language, creators need a more accurate, unique and in-depth aesthetic expression of reality.
The whole drama has not been broadcast yet, if you want toIf you are picky, it is not reasonable enough in the setting of individual characters' relationships. The two principals are set to be Weng's son-in-law, but the characters in the play don't seem to be very different in age. Principal Wang's daughter, that is, Principal Shi's granddaughter, has already worked and is a nurse in Hubei. It seems that Principal Shi needs 70 It is rare to be the principal of a middle school at such an old age. In addition, it is a bit far-fetched to have Principal Shi's daughter and Principal Wang's wife die in the fight against SARS in 2003. The title of
"The Big Exam" is very meaningful. The college entrance examination in 2020 is not only a big test for senior three students, but also a big test for the whole society. The main creator sees the big from the small, cuts the grand theme from two middle schools in a county, shows the characteristics of all beings in the college entrance examination in a special period, and reflects the spirit of fighting hard and never giving up from the country to the local, to each family and individual. , and also inspires us to meet one big test after another in life.
