When I mentioned "big hits at the beginning of the new year", high-quality works such as "Dajiang Dahe 1", "Human World", and "Flowers" appeared in my mind.
These works also have one thing in common - they are all period dramas.
The same type of TV series "Workers' Courtyard" has only been aired for 6 episodes, and its reputation has exploded.
It seems that period dramas are destined to dominate the Chinese drama market at the beginning of the year.
Love, hate and changes of the times
The TV series "Workers' Courtyard" tells the story of rural girl Qiao Fangcao (played by Wu Yue) who became pregnant before marriage, so she came to the Workers' Courtyard to join her sister Qiao Fangye (played by Liu Lili). In the compound, Qiao Fangcao accidentally discovers the father of her child, Lu Zhenhai (played by Guo Xiaodong). After experiencing many obstacles, Qiao Fangcao finally came together with Lu Zhenhai.
The reason why the road of love in the 1950s was so bumpy was inseparable from the influence of the background of the times. During the "Great Leap Forward" period, style issues were strictly enforced, but Qiao Fangcao "committed crimes against the trend" and became pregnant with a child. She had no choice but to come to her sister Qiao Fangye's house. But Qiao Fangye's family were all workers. In order to avoid being caught, they had to hide Qiao Fangcao on the hanging bunk.
Being pregnant at any time is a woman's right and should not be stigmatized. But in that radical era, this was a mistake. I really feel sorry for Qiao Fangcao.
On the second day, the workers in the factory were busy rehearsing the program, and their families were knitting sweaters and chatting about household chores.
After nagging her neighbor, Grandma Hao asked Qiao Fangye: "Fangye, did any relatives come to your house last night? When it rained heavily, I saw a figure squatting on the stairs of your house.", Upon hearing this, Qiao Fangye quickly pretended not to know and started laughing with her husband Tang Kaiyuan. Seeing this scene, other people also echoed and said: "Grandma Hao, you must be deceived."
At this time, a group of workers clamored for Qiao Fangye to appear in the show together, and the topic was changed. However, we have to continue to see how long Qiao Fangcao's matter can be kept secret.
We are born in the new era and may not be able to imagine the situation at that time, but the drama "Workers' Courtyard" is extremely consistent with the era in terms of plot and morals. Coupled with the performances of a group of powerful actors, It can be said that following this drama is equivalent to going back to the past, and it is full of experience.
A dramatist or a powerful person? Everything you want is here
As a period drama, "Workers' Courtyard" requires special attention to the quality of the acting, and the casting of the drama can be said to be "lifetime". A group of powerful actors are in charge, and they can stand up to the characters every minute. .
ranks first, Wu Yue.
Wu Yue won the post-viewing trophy for "County Party Committee Courtyard", and her role as deputy secretary Ai Xianzhi also left a deep impression on the audience.
But this time, Wu Yue broke away from the role of a female leader and transformed into Qiao Fangcao, a country girl who bravely pursues love.
Qiao Fangcao accidentally discovered that her new neighbor was her lover Lu Zhenhai. She subconsciously widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands for fear of making any noise. Her face was full of disbelief.
Although she was worried about being discovered, she couldn't help but look at her sweetheart. Qiao Fangcao stood on tiptoes by the window and stared at Lu Zhenhai. I could feel the girl's shyness through the screen.
After coming back to her senses, Qiao Fangcao sat on the ground and recalled the past, letting her huge tears fall down, her stubborn face full of sorrow. As her chest rose and fell, she finally broke down and cried bitterly.
No matter what kind of role he is, Wu Yue can easily control it with steady performance. There is no need for earth-shattering outbursts, the characters' emotions can be shown with just a few gestures.
is second, Liu Lili.
I believe most viewers are familiar with Liu Lili.
She has left many classic works for the audience, such as "The Fence Woman and the Dog", "The Beautiful Era of Wifes", "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", etc.
plays the role of the sharp-tongued sister Qiao Fangye in "Workers' Courtyard" this time.
Qiao Fangye burst into tears when she saw her sister living in a simple warehouse. She pulled her sister up and told her guilt. Before leaving, she looked back at her sister reluctantly.
is truly an experienced actress. Her performance is close to life and touches my heart. When I see her, I feel like I am seeing my own sister.
ranked third, Guo Xiaodong.
In fact, Guo Xiaodong's acting skills have reached the level of a TV star, and he is only missing a chance to win the trophy.
In "Workers' Courtyard", Lu Zhenhai, played by Guo Xiaodong, looked at Qiao Fangcao after giving birth, with endless distress in his eyes. He held Qiao Fangcao's hand and gently put it on his face and rubbed it, as if he was afraid. Qiao Fangcao will leave him if he is not careful.
Guo Xiaodong used his acting skills to concretely present " lost and recovered" in front of the audience. This time, he is the emperor.
In addition to the above, "Workers' Courtyard" also has Liang Tian, Hai Yitian, Ma Li and other powerful celebrities joining the cast. The lineup is so strong that you will regret it if you miss it.
Conclusion:
html It is an unavoidable problem that 0's period dramas are linked to "bitter feelings", because this is a lingering imprint of the times.But the quality of a period drama is not judged by its level of sadism.
It's okay to be bloody, but the plot can reflect the social reality in the bloody plot and allow the audience to understand it. Only the plot can be loved.
The exaggerated plot of torture for the sake of torture can only satisfy the curiosity of some people, and in the end it can only end in embarrassment.
Maybe after watching "Workers' Courtyard", viewers will say, "love triangle" and "pregnancy out of wedlock" are not exaggerated?
I want to say that these are precisely the "products" of the repressed era. This is not an exaggeration, but a bloody resistance to stereotypes.
Such a period drama with connotation and depth is worthy of our careful appreciation.
