On March 13, a TV series called " Housewife's War " was launched on Tencent Video in 6 episodes, officially starting the premiere mode. This TV series stars Zhou Shuangli, Wang Lu and other actors. Although the leading actors are not well-known, the plot content of this TV series is similar to the hit TV series "Fearless" written by Zhao Dongling. Suddenly, "Housewives' War" feels more like plagiarizing teacher Zhao Dongling.
In the TV series "Fearless", the heroine is a housewife who resigned and stayed at home. Of course, before she left the workplace, she was already among the elite in the workplace. In the TV series "Housewives' War", the heroine has the same role setting. She is also a professional elite and quits her job to stay at home for her man. Moreover, the two heroines have one thing in common, that is, they both have an evil mother-in-law.
In "Fearless", the evil mother-in-law clearly knows what her son has done, but she still condemns and bullies the heroine. In "War of the Housewives", the evil mother-in-law also looks the same. By the way, all the evil mothers-in-law in the world are exactly the same. It’s not easy for all the heroines in the world.
In "Fearless", the heroine's man cheats on her with her "best friend". In "Housewives' War", the heroine's man cheated on her with someone who was also the heroine's "best friend". The more interesting thing is that in these two TV series, the "third female" has had or is currently having a man. Under this situation, she continues to be entangled with the heroine's man. of.
Did you think that was all? of course not. In the two TV series, the man and the woman are both concerned about the heroine's property. The heroines of both dramas are having their property transferred by their men. At this juncture, the heroines also began to discover clues. However, what they discovered seemed to be a little late.
The two TV series are also similar in the shaping of the heroine’s natal family. In "Fearless" written by Zhao Dongling, the heroine's natal family are well-educated and can help her daughter financially. In "Housewives' War", the heroine's mother-in-law is also a good comrade. Before the heroine got married, they bought her a house and a shop. These settings make the heroines of the two dramas almost the same person.
Moreover, in these two TV series, the heroines who were emotionally injured in family life eventually returned to the workplace and shined in their own workplaces. Based on the above, I say that the currently online version of "Housewives' War" is similar to Teacher Zhao Dongling's "Fearless", and no one should object. Of course, this doesn't seem to be plagiarism. After all, Teacher Zhao Dongling's "Fearless" is similar to many other predecessor works in the main storyline.
In terms of narrative attitude, "Housewives' War" and "Fearless" are also very similar. Both TV series follow the same entertaining drama model. The plot content will be whatever the audience likes it. Teacher Zhao Dongling's "Fearless" was ridiculed by the audience due to various problems in its narrative logic. The current "Housewives' War", which has a similar story content, also has problems with the narrative being far-fetched and so on.
In fact, this type of TV series are all based on the same model, and they are just selling the trust and anxiety between couples. The general focus of this type of TV series is the affairs between men and women, especially the affairs of men cheating in marriage. This kind of content is very similar to those small advertising articles for reproductive hospitals that were distributed along the street many years ago. By the way, these kinds of stories about couples and stories about infidelity are just the general story templates used by reproductive hospitals.
I originally wanted to criticize "War of the Housewives" as it is currently airing. However, when I think about it again, why should I criticize and criticize a crude web drama or mini-series?After all, the well-known screenwriter Zhao Dongling and seniors are doing this, and this group of young film and television workers are also doing it, so why not? If the seniors fail to take the lead, it is inevitable that the juniors will not learn well.
After watching "Housewives' War", and then thinking about senior Zhao Dongling's "Fearless", I really feel that if TV dramas want to develop, senior screenwriters should really respect themselves and not continue to produce shoddy films! (Text/Ma Qingyun)
