1905 Movie Network News On the afternoon of March 26, a seminar on the family-themed light comedy "Happy Parents" was held in Beijing. The play’s screenwriter Ma Guangyuan, Ling Zi who plays Jing Tingting, Dai Qing, a professor at the School of Drama, Film and Television of Communication University of China, Li Xingwen, a well-known drama critic, Lu Fan, deputy director of the Television Research Center of Peking University, Niu Mengdi, chief screenwriter of Guangming Daily, and Zhong Chengxiang, librarian of the Institute of Literature and History and famous literary critic, and other guests attended the event.
In 2021, the Ministry of Education implemented a double reduction policy for first-year freshmen, and then I became the first group of parents to catch up with this policy. At this time, our parents established a parent group. Ma Guangyuan bluntly said that since the parents WeChat group was established, he has pinned the group to the top of the chat and dare not mute it. 80% of the script of the film is based on his real experiences.
Ling Zi bluntly said that the first difficulty in participating in the play was that she had no childbirth experience, and she was worried about how to play the role of a mother well. Later, after consulting her mother and friends who were married and had children, she gradually understood the personality traits and inner activity patterns of this group of people. At the same time, she also said that the growth of an actor is similar to raising children, and both are a continuous process.
The screenwriter really found a particularly good incision, which is like a refractor that reflects family and social relationships, as well as the collision of various ideas. Dai Qing said frankly that the play has found a new fertile ground for creation. From the content of the story, we can see the creator's ingenuity and rich life experience.
Li Xingwen believes that the "Happy Parents Group" defines a virtual and real interpersonal relationship, a bit like a community owner group. This is a new type of parent-teacher relationship based on technological advancement. The play has certain documentary value and is worthy of attention for its observation and reflection on current society.
Our children are about the same age and personality as the children in the film, so they were very friendly when watching it. Lu Fan said frankly that the comedy style of the play makes the concept of parenting acceptable, and the growth mindset conveyed makes the parent manual practical. At the same time, he also said that the presentation format of the play is innovative and the content is not preachy.
This is a living room comedy that is a mixture of sitcom and urban drama. Whether this drama can create a paradigm of living room comedy in the future is worthy of attention. Niu Mengdi admitted that domestic dramas focusing on education are common, but it is unprecedented to approach the theme from the perspective of a group of parents. In this lively group of parents, people seem to have seen an open Pandora's box. The anxiety of family education has invisibly penetrated into the hearts of every audience, making the audience feel the same.
Zhong Chengxiang believes that the content of the play is compact and full of tension, and it is a very useful attempt in the creation of realistic themes. The story is inspired from the real life of the screenwriter and has a strong sense of life. This is an excellent drama with breadth, strength, depth and warmth.
