In recent years, as education issues have become the focus of national attention, many films and TV series have also been produced with related themes. "The Big Exam", "Little Joy", "Little Willingness", " Teenage Pi " and "Come on!" "Mom", "The Day I Chased the Light", etc., it can be said that one movie is a hit, and each one can become a hot topic of discussion at that time.
However, since "The Day of Chasing the Light" last year, there seems to be no good dramas with educational themes.
But don’t worry, Hunan Satellite TV is taking action.
On the evening of February 1st, Hunan Satellite TV launched an educational drama - "Happy Parents Group". Despite its ordinary name, this drama has quite a lot of background. Leading the cast Zhang Jiayi Chen Hao, one is a top celebrity in the Mainland uncle circle, the other is a powerful actress with both good looks and acting skills, plus Wang Xiaochen, Li Chuanying, Zhao Da, Fang Qingzhuo, Liu Ruilin and other powerful actors Joining it can be said to be a highly anticipated drama.
This drama became extremely popular as soon as it was released. After only 2 episodes aired, it ranked first in satellite TV ratings nationwide.
In addition to ratings, what is even more powerful is word-of-mouth. Only two episodes have aired, and many netizens on Douban have given it four or five stars.
So why did this drama achieve such good results as soon as it was released? After watching 6 episodes in one go, Qiqi had the answer in her heart.
1, three families, three education models, real and down-to-earth, firmly caught the audience's attention from the beginning.
Although it talks about a slightly serious topic like education, the drama handles it very interestingly. It uses three families with completely different education styles and a plot close to life, which firmly caught the audience's attention from the beginning.
The first family is Liu Xiangshang (played by Zhang Jiayi) and Dai Jing (played by Chen Hao).
In this family, my father is a screenwriter by profession, he is educated, thoughtful, open-minded and strict;
my mother is a sales expert and an elite in the workplace. She is very fast-moving and prone to shouting at the top of her voice. The differences and disputes between the two couples over educating their children are also a highlight of the show.
The second family is Yang Mingbiao (played by Zhao Da) and Jing Tingting (played by Ling Zi).
In this family, the father is rich, but his education level is not high, and he often travels on business, so the children's education basically falls on the mother;
The mother, Jing Tingting, is a housewife with a good life, but has no independent opinions. There is no good way to educate children. Apart from spending money and enrolling children in endless tutoring classes, they also buy various things to satisfy their children as much as possible materially.
At present, it seems that this family has encountered many problems in education. The older one is rebellious, while the younger one is timid and easily bullied;
The third family is a single-parent family, the parents are divorced, and the young mother Tang Xiaowei ( Wang Xiaochen (played by Wang Xiaochen) lives alone with her children. Tang Xiaowei is a product anchor. She is rational and opinionated, and she is also good at educating children. The only fly in the ointment is that in single-parent families, children lack love and are often sensitive, fragile, and even have low self-esteem.
Three families, three models, three education styles, each type represents a very typical type of family around us. Overall, it is of great reference for both parents and children.
2, Zhang Jiayi, the top actor in the uncle circle, Chen Hao, the "heartthrob", and with the help of three veteran actors, this drama is worth watching.
"Happy Parents Group" has a total of 15 powerful actors. Together with the veteran actors who play supporting roles, there are more than 18 powerful actors.

With his handsome appearance, mature temperament accumulated over time, and solid acting skills, it is not unreasonable for Zhang Jiayi to become so popular.
In "Happy Parents", Zhang Jiayi plays the male number one Liu Xiangshang, a screenwriter and the father of two children.
The father he plays is open-minded and individual, and has his own way of educating children. Zhang Jiayi really brought to life the image of a father who is cultured, well-educated, and capable of educating children.

The great beauty Chen Hao has played many classic roles: "The Heartthrob" in "Pink Girl", Diao Chan in "New Three Kingdoms", Yue Shuying in "Li Wei as an Official", etc. Almost all of them are classics in the mainland film and television industry. Role.

A beautiful woman, a career elite, a performance king, and a hot and spicy mother, Chen Hao has mastered this character very well. Especially when I see her quarreling with her husband over her children and yelling at her children, it feels very real, just like many anxious mothers around us.
ranked third, Wang Xiaochen.
Many people know Wang Xiaochen from the female lead Mao Xiaochun in " Great Time ". In 2017, she starred in a romantic drama "My Physical Education Teacher" with Zhang Jiayi, which made her even more popular. In "My Physical Education Teacher", Wang Xiaochen and Zhang Jiayi played lovers.
This time, in "Happy Parents", Wang Xiaochen plays the beautiful female neighbor of the male protagonist Liu Xiangxiang (played by Zhang Jiayi), and their children are also classmates.

Zhao Da has had a high appearance rate in the past two years. Xun Jianxiang in "Dajiang Dahe", Feitang in "Jade Gate in the West", Zhao Mingfu in "The Three Brigades", each one has a distinctive personality and is impressive.
In "Happy Parents", Zhao Da plays the role of Yang Mingbiao, a good friend of the male protagonist Liu Xiang and a very wealthy boss. Zhao Da's appearance and temperament are very suitable for the role of this upstart. Coupled with his solid acting skills, the role of Yang Mingbiao can be said to be a very recognizable character in the whole drama.

Veteran drama star Fang Qingzhuo won the Feitian Award for Best Actress in 1982 for her role in the TV series "Snow Wilderness".

3 and two highlights, it has shown its strength as a hit drama and is the dark horse drama of the year.
The reason why "Happy Parents" has achieved good results since its launch is mainly because the series has these two highlights.
The first one is really down to earth.
In recent years, there have been many dramas focusing on educational themes, but many of them have the problem of being "too suspended and not grounded".The life shown in the play is too far away from the life of ordinary people.
But this "Happy Parents" is different. Its plot is very close to the daily life of ordinary families with children.
For example, there are only two days left before school starts, and Liu Guoning, who is in fifth grade, still has 900 calculation questions to complete. There was no other way. In order to avoid being criticized by the teacher when school started, the whole family had to go to the battle together, light lamps and boil oil, and help the children with their homework. Is this scene very familiar? Seeing this, many people on the barrage said: "It's so real."
For another example, I heard that this year’s new head teacher was a new teacher with little experience. Many parents gathered together and expressed their concerns about the teacher’s teaching ability.
But when I turned around, I saw that many parents in the group were there. After sending messages to compliment the teacher, those parents who originally did not trust the teacher's ability quickly followed suit and posted complimentary words about the teacher in the class group. Ever since, the parent group was filled with compliments from parents flattering the teacher.
Anyone whose family has elementary school students has never experienced such a helpless moment;
On the first day of elementary school, several children got into a fight over something as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.
When faced with the problems of their children, the reactions of parents are too real. It was Xiao Jiarui who was the first to speak poorly and provoke others, but his parents were aggressive and unreasonable, and were not aware of their own problems at all; other parents wanted to take action, others looked on with cold eyes, others did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, and some were shrews and scolded the street. , and there are those who are quarreling next to it. It is simply a human drama caused by educating children.
This drama between parents is really a hundred times more exciting than the fight between children.
I have to say that screenwriters have life, experience, and detailed observation and understanding.
The second one is full of dramatic conflicts and full of joy.
In addition to the down-to-earth plot, this drama also has a major feature, which is the strong dramatic conflict, which makes people want to stop watching. At the beginning of the
series, Liu Guoning ran away from home because he had not finished his homework during the holiday; then Liu Xiangshang and Dai Jing quarreled over their children's education; then, the whole family burned the midnight oil and worked together to help their children with their homework; and then, On the first day of school, Guobao and a group of children fight, causing an uproar among parents...
From the beginning to the present, this drama can be said to be full of twists and turns and unexpected events. It can be said that this drama is the drama of the drama. The conflict has never stopped. It can be said that one wave has not ended but another wave has arisen.
Isn’t this the most attractive part of a drama? No matter how high-end and educational the content of a film or television work is, if the presentation is dull and uninteresting, how many people will have the patience to pursue it?
's real and down-to-earth plot, strong dramatic conflicts, and solid acting skills contributed by powerful actors. It is not unreasonable for this drama to become the top TV ratings champion just two days after it was aired.
If the subsequent plot can maintain the standard, I believe that the TV drama market in 2024 will have one more educational-themed word-of-mouth classic.
