The recent hit drama "Xiao Man's Life" has been criticized a lot.
I thought it was another bad movie. After all, many "female viewers" complained that this drama vilified women. It was all trivial things, and it was completely incomparable with TVB's "News Queen".
With this mentality, I took a look at the cast list. Good guy, all the actors are talented actors: Qin Hao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ou, and Ke Lan.
There is no doubt about Jiang Xin. From "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to "Ode to Joy" and then to other popular dramas that followed, Jiang Xin has performed well in almost every work.
As for Qin Hao, he is even more talented in acting. From "The Hidden Corner" to "Undocumented Crime", Qin Hao has reaped all the dividends in the suspense drama market in recent years, and his popularity far exceeds that of his wife Yi Nengjing. .
Behind this are the dividends from the booming suspense drama market in recent years, and Qin Hao's own strong acting skills. The low cost of suspense dramas is destined to test the actor's acting skills.
One of the reasons why suspense dramas were not popular before this was that actors were difficult to control, but Qin Hao was able to do so with ease. This shows that Qin Hao's reputation for having "actor-level" combat power is not unfounded.
So, after seeing the cast, I became even more curious about this drama: What is it about this drama that makes such a movie with so many celebrities criticized for being "trivial and vilifying women".
After watching the drama, my silence was deafening: the reason why this drama has low ratings is mainly because some "women" have become obsessed with boxing themselves.
Why is "Xiao Man's Life" so "trivial"?
The reason is very simple: this drama is a life drama, and it mainly talks about some details of life. Naturally, a drama like
cannot be compared with "News Queen" in terms of "elite women". After all, the two dramas have completely different themes.
"Xiaoman's Life" tells short stories about parents' shortcomings, and "News Queen" tells women how to struggle in the workplace. The themes of
are different, and the story lines are of course different. The audience who compares the two dramas are simply "devil-minded" and look at everything as if they are vilifying women. From the visual point of the plot, "Xiao Man's Life" is actually very grounded. Chi, the story is also very good.
"Xiaoman Life" has three story lines, namely the middle-class salaryman Ye Yifan and He Jiaru starring Qin Hao and Jiang Xin, the rich story line of Tian Tian and Tian Dong starring Wang Ou and Li Jie, and the well-off salary story starring Zhang Lingxin and Ren Zhong The story line of clan lord Yuanyuan and Chen Li.
Three families, three different social classes, all encountered different life problems after reaching middle age. These problems were criticized by some viewers as "vilifying women", but leaving aside the "benchmark" of "News Queen" First, let’s look at it from real life: every story line is very real and very touching.
Take Ye Yifan and He Jiaru, starring Jiang Xin and Qin Hao, as an example. One of them is in the system and the other is behind the scenes of the TV station. Their income is not high but not low at all. This kind of family is actually envied by many people, but life This couple in Beijing also has their own worries: they are middle-aged, pregnant with their second child, their eldest son is old enough to go to school, and there are elderly people at home.
As the saying goes, there are elders above, young ones below, and children going to school. The biggest problem for such families is "school district housing", a large flat floor that can accommodate the whole family and the crew, and it must be close to the hospital and school. This is It became the straw that broke their family's back. Behind the seemingly glamorous appearance, in fact, they needed to be cautious at every turn, and there were occasional "temptations" from their bosses.
And the couple in the rich class also have their own troubles. Businessmen seem to be rich, but in fact they need to make a living step by step. If they are not careful, they will go bankrupt and face the difficulty of living a life of luxury and frugality. The rich class couple in the play are Also encountered this problem.
was looking at that couple who were barely well-off and encountered the same problem as Ye Yifan and He Jiaru and his wife, but it was even more difficult for this couple. After all, Ye Yifan and He Jiaru were gritting their teeth and working hard, but they might not be able to buy a suitable house in Beijing. .
However, this barely well-off family can only let their children go back to their hometown, and the wife can only go back to her hometown to accompany the children to school to prevent the children from becoming "left-behind children." And the husband is good enough, and the wife needs to be a housewife and have to live in two places. "Infidelity pressure" occurs naturally.
Some viewers think some of the settings in the play are outrageous. For example, the "couple" starring Qin Hao and Jiang Xin has surpassed 95% of real-life couples, but there is still anxiety, and they are born in blessings but do not know their blessings.
As for the well-off couple played by Ren Zhong and Zhang Lingxin, Zhang Lingxin's character is vilifying women. It is clear that Ren Zhong's character is a "good man", and Zhang Lingxin's character is also suspicious.
But if it is really reflected in reality, the problems encountered by every couple in the play are really the most heart-wrenching topics of their age and class. For such a down-to-earth and real drama like
, this should not be a victim of "boxing", it is a strong benefit!
