Domestic screenwriters use beautiful women as targets again.
Two days ago, in the finale of the period drama "South and North", the people in it either went to the sea to make a fortune or got promoted.
Only the bright and flamboyant beauty Yao Yuling becomes the down-and-out villain.
Her husband, a drug dealer, was caught. She took her son to sell barbecue. By coincidence, she met a poor boy whom she had previously despised. Not only did the poor boy become rich, but he also had a young and beautiful wife standing beside him. Comparative meaning of
: Don’t deceive young people into being poor. This is the retribution of beautiful women who are vain and love money.
But this time, the screenwriter hit the wall.
Netizens feel sorry for Yao Yuling: What heinous crime did a beauty-loving woman who wanted a better life commit?
Someone else commented sharply: It's like a man's fantasy before death...
Times have changed, who did Yao Yuling's ending offend?
Yao Yuling’s tragedy
is a killing of chickens to scare monkeys
Yao Yuling appears as a pretty girl.
curls her bangs by herself, wears eyebrows with matchstick hair, and makes new clothes to save money, which makes her faint from hunger.
likes to wear bright colors, fresh next door, exquisite lady, Hong Kong style retro... can handle any style, a fashion trend-setter.
The person you choose also likes good-looking clothes and can buy yourself new clothes.
is actually about loving beauty, wearing clothes, and being lively. But the screenwriter used the words of the hero's father to set the tone for her: is not suitable for marriage and life.
From here on, the story that a girl who loves beauty must be vain and selfish is buried.
First of all, among the policeman Wang Xin and the disgraced fireman Niu Dali, Yao Yuling chose Wang Xin, who had a more respectable job, as her partner.
When Wang Xin made a mistake and was about to be fired, she immediately broke up with her.
Later, Niu Dali pursued her hard and gave her a TV, a bicycle, and a radio cassette player. Yao Yuling was moved and decided to follow him everywhere.
But after meeting the rich and tasteful Jia Jinlong, the two quickly got along and dumped Niu Dali.
In the end, the screenwriter gave Yao Yuling an ending that a gold digger should have. The rich man she followed was a drug dealer, while the dog licker she despised became prosperous and married a younger and more beautiful wife.
This ends the game of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys: vain women will not end well.
seems to be a logical closed loop, but who would have thought that in 2024, everyone would love Yao Yuling and complain about Yao Yuling.
Now it seems that Yao Yuling is a person who actively pursues the life she wants.
loves beauty openly, and boldly confesses his love for Wang Xin.
doesn't like Niu Dali, and his dislike for him is quite obvious. His colleagues and neighbors can see that Niu Dali refuses to accept reality.
Yao Yuling is good-looking, and she is a train announcer with a decent job. Is it considered vanity to want to find a handsome and profitable partner?
Isn’t it also true that Yao Yuling looks good-looking? Isn’t it more noble to worship sex?
At the same time, the honest man Niu Dali, whom the screenwriter wanted to praise, is by no means a good match in the eyes of contemporary netizens.
The things given to Yao Yuling were either stolen or broken. When
was not in love, he took advantage of Yao Yuling's injury and carried her around the compound to show off.
After he caught her, he began to dislike her for spending money on clothes.
Although she spent her own money to buy clothes, Niu Dali settled the score: I spent money on our date, so you can save money to buy clothes.
Actor Jiang Yan, who played Yao Yuling, analyzed: That moment was like a bolt from the blue, how could this man be so calculating.
For him, finding a wife is like a hunt. He likes her beauty and will go with her. When the prey is successful, he doesn't have to waste the bait, so he deprives her of the right to love her beauty.
The most frightening thing was that she committed suicide after breaking up. Everyone in the hospital blamed Yao Yuling, and it ended with Sister Ling going crazy.
Therefore, even though he later went to work vigorously to make money and gave Yao Yuling a ring, Yao Yuling still rejected him.
If she insists on being shackles of morality, then Yao Yuling is selfish and greedy, and does not want to accompany men to endure hardships.
This is not a big crime, but the screenwriter gave her a huge humiliation in the ending.
Some people say that this humiliation is mainly because she is a family member of a drug dealer, but judging from the language of the camera and the details of the dialogue, it is obvious that this is not a punishment for the family of a drug dealer, but a punishment for a vain and bad woman.
If it is a lesson to the family of drug dealers, she can be sentenced and silenced, or she can be down and out, sell barbecues, and earn money by herself.
But she was forced to wear a shabby cotton-padded jacket to sell barbecue, and her face was still gray, especially when she met Dali and his young and beautiful wife.
With the IQ of Niu Dali, who is always deceived when buying things, he is not bound to make a lot of money, but the screenwriter still arranged for him to be proud and proud of himself.
danced in front of the former goddess. At this time, the power status was exchanged, and it was finally the man's turn to show mercy.
vigorously put down the diamond ring he bought for Yao Yuling to express his relief.
is amazing. They met by chance so many times after they broke up. Even though Dali knew that Yao Yuling's children were grown up, he didn't feel relieved. He felt relieved when he saw her getting ugly, old and sloppy.
Yao Yuling's reaction was also very unlike her. She panicked, evaded, adjusted her clothes and hair, and ran away, feeling completely embarrassed and unsure of herself.
If we don’t help the poor, there will be no good end, right? Yao Yuling really didn't commit this crime.
This is all based on the analysis of the existing plot. If you break away from the scriptwriter's logic and re-examine it, you will also find that Yao Yuling's story becomes thinner and more passive as it goes on.
Based on her early beauty, enthusiasm, boldness and refreshing energy, doesn’t she deserve to meet a good man who is good-looking and well-organized and does serious business? Even if you see a man stumble, can't you go into the sea by yourself?
Some netizens couldn't help but rewrite her fate: If she works as a salesperson, she will definitely be the best seller, and if she sells barbecue, she will also be a barbecue beauty. If she really meets Niu Dali, she will greet him warmly, or laugh at him for looking for a girl because he is old and disrespectful.
In the words of Northeastern people, Sister Ling has to be generous.
Domestic TV dramas
There is no room for women’s ambition and self-interest
In domestic dramas, there are many characters like Yao Yuling, who are high-spirited and ambitious, and most of them end bleakly.
For example, in the popular " Blossoms " a while ago, Bai Yueguang's ex-girlfriend Xuezhi abandoned the male protagonist and went to Hong Kong to live a good life.
In the end, Xuezhi died in a foreign country.
Similar female characters and plots are superimposed to form a huge moral network, warning women who are disobedient and do not accept their fate.
But when the gender of such characters is changed to men, the ending is often dark.
In "The Road of Life", Chen Xiao plays Gao Jialin. After going to the city to study, he was attracted by the opportunities and girls in the city. He had already despised his fiancée in the country, but he did not refuse or make a choice. He let it go The fiancée works for her family.
At the end of the story, he became a writer and became famous. He could still gain a positive image of an "idealist" and gain the understanding and appreciation of the audience.
Ambition is a crime for women to climb upward, but it is a golden exemption for men to prefer the new and dislike the old.
In "大江大河", when Song Yunhui develops better and better, the official becomes bigger and bigger, and his vision becomes wider and wider.
In order to make Song Yunhui's divorce impeccable and legitimate, the screenwriter directly wrote the previously innocent and lovely wife into a fool who did not want to make progress, was unreasonable, and accepted gifts indiscriminately.
Finally, he was assigned a student named Bai Fumei. The two fell in love and got married. Bai Fumei could not only start a career with him, but also be an open-minded and kind-hearted stepmother.
Under what circumstances can female characters enjoy equal treatment? When that ambition serves a man.
In "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" starring Zhao Liying , the heroine and her husband go to the city to work together. The heroine works hard and grows along the way, but the husband has a frustrated self-esteem and wants to return to the village. Did
finally leave? No, the heroine followed her husband back to the village, and took her husband to start a business to make money, improve the family's life, and did not miss out on having and raising children.
No wonder some people comment that most of the female characters written by men are either pure and noble saints, or witches who play with emotions.
These flat female characters and stereotyped plots do not reflect real life, but the maliciousness revealed in them can reflect the stigma in reality:
First, it is impossible for women to live a good life on their own.
Secondly, if she lives a good life, she will most likely have to rely on men to pay for it.
Third, even if there is a woman who succeeds in her own efforts, she must be morally stained and will not be able to achieve the ultimate happiness of having a husband and children.
To sum up, it is to give inspirational legitimacy to men’s ambitions, and then add many crimes to women’s ambitions.
is used to cultivate the virtues of gentleness, courtesy and thrift in women, and to protect the fragile self-esteem of some men. It is always in the interests of men to keep it safe.
Women write new scripts
Loosen the moral curse
This time Yao Yuling caused dissatisfaction, which means that a progressive consensus is gradually forming. The altruistic narrative that encourages women to contribute is outdated, and women have decided not to reflect on themselves.
This year's Spring Festival box office number one, " Hot and Spicy Hot ", the supporting characters in it break the routine, and there is no longer such identification and trial of "bad women".
Whether it is Li Xueqin who stole her best friend's boyfriend, Zhang Xiaofei who cheated and divorced, or Yang Zi who used relatives as a springboard for her career, they are all "bad women" in the traditional norms.
But in the end, no one was slapped in the face, there was no humiliation, no reflection, and no trial. Everyone continued to live their lives. Netizen
said: passed easily, just like how men were treated in male-dominated movies in the past.
This is why we need more female directors and female screenwriters.
On the one hand, after women gain the right to speak and create, they untie themselves.
On the other hand, when there are more and more ambitious, self-interested, and successful women, the scripts of "bad women" will show more and more diverse stories and endings, and the voice of judgment will become weaker and weaker.
is like Jia Ling outside of movies. She lost 100 pounds and was questioned and said that she must have used black technology. The box office of the movie exceeded other male directors. She was said to be over-marketed and ruined Chinese movies.
This is not to say that the movie is perfect, but there is a difference between criticizing and criticizing it.
In short, Sister Ling is not internally dissatisfied. She just posted a picture of the scenery with the text: "The wind is so strong in Xinjiang this year, probably because we are standing on the top of the mountain."
She did not waste time to clarify, and she was already busy taking a picture movie.
At the Yabuli Entrepreneur Forum recently, Yu Yu’s speech was also very out of the ordinary and particularly brave.
She encouraged women to be more ambitious: "We must overcome the problem of not daring to spend money, especially using the company's resources to bet on a performance. Performance is achieved with money and risks."
Not long ago, she and Li Guoqing divorced , is currently the legal representative, executive director and general manager of Dangdang.com, and holds 64.2% of the shares of Dangdang.com.
In this heated divorce dispute, Li Guoqing once wanted to nail her as a "bad woman". accused her of not cooking and washing socks for her husband, refusing to have more children, and competing for power with her husband. Steal property.
Indeed, many netizens sympathize with Li Guoqing and beautify him as a "love brain" who values feelings and is plotted against by his wife.
But it would be too outrageous to apply this kind of trial to Yu Yu. Before
met Li Guoqing, she was already a well-known investor on Wall Street. Zhang Ying, founder of Matrix Partners China, once said to Li Guoqing: You know nothing about capital, but Yu Yu is your destiny.
It’s just that Yu Yu was once trapped in this set of traditional virtues that were passed on to women but not to men, and she was willing to be a bride and a good wife.
Fortunately, times have changed, and now that we are talking about marriage, she is particularly clear-eyed about the pitfalls and tells girls that they do not have to suffer these grievances:
"I have worked hard for decades to endure humiliation and bear the burden, and the results of my efforts have of course disappeared."
While Li Guoqing was still cheating on his ex-wife from time to time, Yu Yu no longer argued about who was more noble and correct.
She directly stated that she did not intend to balance family and career, and accepted the breakup as well as the struggle.
and get ready for work on the way to the crematorium.
is pretty good. Women's wisdom is no longer used to reflect and prove that they are not "bad women", but to defend their own interests and walk towards the sea of stars.
