The domestic drama market in 2024 is indeed lively!
Watching "Flowers" come to an end, "Dajiang Dahe 3" is rushing forward, with Wong Kar-Wai and Noon Sunshine opening the show. This double-shot cannon is really a bit of a surprise.
The good show has come to an end, and the popularity is on the rise, but the next works will definitely be stressful.
Who dares to pick up, and who can pick it up?
is a middle-aged family drama that has been ready for launch for a long time. Almost every wave of publicity has ushered in a very loud voice.
Is it a sweet love where workplace love collides, acting skills and traffic coexist, or is it a period drama and a spy thriller?
The answer is -
"If Running is My Life"
Inspirational group portraits and modern cities are still CCTV's favorite themes. Sure enough,
's ratings directly exceeded 1.8 on the first day it was launched, and the subsequent trend is even more impressive.
But there are no famous names like Wong Kar-wai and Noon Sunshine, and there are no super A-list celebrities to support it. Why is this drama so cruel?
When I saw the director of "If Running Is My Life", I was actually relieved -
Shen Yan.
"Hot Mom", "Chinese Relationship", "My First Half of Life", "Breakout", etc., all of them are excellent products.
And this brand-new urban drama writes the slow-moving emotional drama extremely delicately.
Sister-brother love -
A conversation that makes people cry.
As a sister, what will you do when you find that your brother has a mental problem?
You have the same strong mother. Your younger brother is in high school. For several years, he has been forced to be busy with things he doesn't like.
My sister saw her brother sitting in front of the most dangerous railing twice. She couldn't say much and couldn't change anything.
"Just wait until you get to college."
"How will you get to college?"
With one sentence, my sister fell silent again.
"Does it mean that you don't love me if you let me take the path I want to take?"
The younger brother put his hand on his sister's and continued to talk to himself:
"You always say you envy me, but in fact I envy you the most. ."
"Because you have freedom, but I also know that your freedom was obtained by my birth, so only one of us can have it."
The seemingly ordinary conversation, but with great influence The shock hit me through the screen.
In the next plot, the younger brother died in a car accident.
The living people are crying and grieving, but will this ending be another kind of relief for him?
Another family was involved in a car accident.
Lying in despair on the hospital bed was a dancer.
She gave up the opportunity to join the Beijing Dance Company for her lover. At the same time, the two agreed that after getting married, she could continue to pursue her dream of dancing and would not force her to have children.
Her husband did it, but fate still played a joke on her.
Who would have thought that the stage before getting in the car would be the last dance of her life.
What does the dream she has been holding on to for more than ten years mean? She is alive, but it is more uncomfortable than dead. How should she live this kind of life when she lies in bed and has to be carried to the toilet?
Amputation of both legs is difficult for even ordinary people to accept, let alone a professional dancer.
The husband gave her a movable chair, which pricked the wife's sensitive heart even more. She lost her temper and became violent towards her husband and mother, the two closest people.
But who can understand the anxiety and despair in this woman's heart at this moment.
presents different mother-child relationships and rationally discusses death.
In "If Running Is My Life", you can see that different families have different misfortunes, but they can also find the meaning of life.
I think this is why CCTV regards this drama as its trump card.
The three actors refreshed my understanding of domestic urban dramas.
After watching the filming techniques and actors' performance of this drama, I finally understood why Shen Yan can make urban dramas a hit.
ranks first, Zhong Chuxi.
It’s still the same sentence -
sister, leave idol dramas to the traffic with no strength, don’t touch those that you shouldn’t touch.
"Imperfect Victim" made people's eyes shine, and "I Want to Go Against the Wind" made everyone's hard-earned good feelings "go" with the wind.
When I saw her name in this drama, I wanted to ask: Why can you be the heroine? After reading
, I understood: you really hide the power of .
The heroine An Xin, yearns for freedom and loves to dance. Her legs were amputated in a car accident. This kind of complex mentality is not suitable for ordinary people to play.
However, when Zhong Chuxi was lying on the hospital bed, just the changes in her micro-expressions and a crying scene made me surrender.
After speaking evil words to her mother, she felt only endless regret. She felt sorry for her mother and felt sad for herself.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she even choked up and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Mom, I'm sorry for you."
The moment I said these words, tears burst out of my eyes in front of the screen. The performance was so good.
ranked second, national first-class actor Xu Di.
The mother she plays is an optimistic old lady who loves to eat. She raises her daughter alone to grow up. She is strong.
Even though she was wearing special effects makeup, the scene where the mother heard her daughter apologize before the hospital bed still fully demonstrated her strong motherly love.
"Your father is gone and your job is gone, but your mother is not broken down."
"Your mother is not broken down, but you can't be broken down."
My daughter who loves to dance has both legs amputated and can only lie on the hospital bed, facing Hopeless people get angry.
All she can do is encourage and comfort. She must stand up and support this family just like she did before.
"You have a mother, a mother who can't be beaten."
Here Zhong Chuxi also took over Xu Di's role. The two people's scenes together really made me see the two-way love between mother and daughter.
This is the most sincere and unrequited love in the world, and it is also the only person who can rely on each other.
The third place is Chen Xiaoyi.
Chen Xiaoyi plays a paranoid mother. In the play, her son dies in a car accident. The moment
learned that his son had died, his emotions surged instantly -
Why, why was it my son who died?
Including the following, yelling "It's better to die" to her daughter, the image of this woman has been completely engraved in the hearts of the audience.
Her moves are all in the character, her rationality yet tinged with madness, and her paranoia that breaks out in her forbearance are so gripping. Chen Xiaoyi's acting skills are extremely intense.
What I have to say is that Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have also improved. Although
is obviously still far behind among these powerful ones, her emotional response is in place, and she can clearly feel that she is on the right track, which is quite a surprise.
Conclusion
Why can Shen Yan come out on top among urban themes?
He can always accurately find the pain points of the audience. Whether it is "The First Half of My Life" or "Breakout", he knows what everyone wants to watch.
includes the new drama "If Running Is My Life". In fact, I didn't understand the title of the drama at first. After watching the first four episodes, I suddenly understood.
Contradictions come slowly. No matter how dull the front is, there will be more momentum in the back.
At first glance, the character seems miserable, but the inspirational part follows immediately, which reminds me of the Internet celebrity who also had both legs amputated. She can dance with her husband in a short skirt even with prosthetics.
People will inevitably encounter difficulties in life. If running is my life, then after a hard fall, I will still be willing to throw away the ashes on my body, then stand up and continue to meet my running life.
