What type of drama is most likely to become a dark horse?
I think female dramas must be on the list.
With the changes in contemporary ideological concepts, independent, sober, beautiful and sassy heroines in film and television works are becoming more and more popular, and female dramas have gradually become the "traffic password" in Chinese dramas.
Whether it is the costume drama "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin" or the modern drama " Thirty Only ", they have set off a wave of drama-watching frenzy.
Many creators tried to seize the bonus of the subject matter, but what they ended up with was wearing the cloak of a heroine and filming bloody ethics dramas, such as "Come on !" Mom " "War of the Roses" and other dramas.
"Ideal City", which has really gained a good reputation in the past two years, has only received mediocre ratings.
Is it true that today’s female dramas are inseparable from the evil elements of scumbags and mistresses?
Not necessarily, Zhejiang Satellite TV has sent its ace contestant -
" Today's Them " has been officially announced and will be broadcast on March 29th. Goose Factory will broadcast it online simultaneously.
After watching the trailer, I want to say that this is indeed the drama that the audience has been waiting for for three years.
Breaking the rules and telling the story of women in the new era
"Today's Us" tells the story of three new-era women who broke the rules and finally stood side by side, experiencing setbacks and challenges and persisting in the pursuit of their ideals.
Combined with the trailer, it is not difficult to see the two highlights of this drama.
Highlight 1: Group portraits of urban women.
Chengdu girl Lu Zhenzhen (played by Song Yi) works in Beijing. She relies on her own efforts to gain a foothold in her hometown in ten years, with a smooth career and a happy love.
Her best friend Gu Manting ( Li Chun) chose to stay in her hometown to help her father ( Zhang Guoli ) run the restaurant "Sichuan White House", determined to carry forward Sichuan cuisine skills.
Liang Qingran ( Charmaine Sheh ) is a strong urban woman and a devil in gorgeous clothes. She originally wanted to change Sichuan cuisine, but was changed by Sichuan cuisine.
The appearance of Liang Qingran disrupted the original life trajectory of Lu Zhenzhen and Gu Manting. She lured Lu Zhenzhen's fiancé to start a business in Chengdu. The restaurant run by her rose rapidly, which dealt a blow to "Sichuan White House". .
Three representative women of the new era didn't know each other before, and finally stood side by side. A female drama full of competition began.
Point 2: Urban emotional entanglement.
Because of her childhood experiences, Lu Zhenzhen tried her best to be a useful person and took root in Beijing to enjoy the world she had created. However, her boyfriend returned to his hometown to start a business, which caused a rift in the relationship between the two.
Gu Manting was pampered by her parents and married her first love before finishing college. However, the difference between weddings and love caused their relationship to fail.
And Liang Qingran also experienced emotional collisions and career challenges.
When life becomes dire, the people in this story no longer long for help from others, but become a sword and their own queen.
Life is like a bowl of food. It tastes delicious only after it is fried and fried. People have to go through all kinds of tempering before they can realize their value. The three story lines of the three protagonists of
are intertwined. Their respective stories lead to common life problems, and are finally intertwined to form the answer to the problem.
has a luxurious lineup, and the drama talents join
. In addition to the attraction of the plot, the cast of "Today's Girls" is also very attractive. From the protagonist to the supporting roles, they are all acting talents.
ranked first, Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Guoli is a presence like a needle in the sea in any drama.
In "小 giving ", Nan Jianlong, played by Zhang Guoli, is a refined egoist, but when the children need him, he can beg for help without any hesitation.
Zhang Guoli has thoroughly understood the essence of the character, and he seems to be able to handle the details with ease. Every scene is very thought-provoking.In
's new drama, Zhang Guoli plays Gu Manting's father, who is also a famous Sichuan chef.
He put on a chef's hat, and his movements of shaking the spoon were extremely professional. When placing the dishes, he looked serious as if he were carving a work of art, leaving no room for mistakes.
The addition of this drama star has made the acting quality of the whole drama even higher.
ranked second, Charmaine Sheh.
The popularity of "News Queen" has made Charmaine Sheh's acting skills highly recognized.
She plays Wen Huixin, a news anchor who was full of confusion when she first entered the workplace. Ten years later, she has grown into a "pillar" who can calmly deal with any emergencies and remain calm no matter what situation she faces.
Just by looking at the changes in Charmaine Sheh's eyes, the audience can identify the "Wenhuixin" of different periods, which is enough to see the power of her acting skills. In
's new drama, Charmaine Sheh plays the role of a strong woman, Liang Qingran, who on the surface keeps a distance from everyone, but is actually a warm-hearted and upright sister.
When she was "forced" to taste the restaurant's signature dish, her eyes were full of doubts. After eating it, she was instantly conquered, but she didn't show off because of her face. She deliberately pretended to be too funny.
Looking at Charmaine Sheh’s performance, Liang Qingran should be the “funny girl” character.
ranked third, Song Yi.
Song Yi's performance is natural and vivid, and he can interpret the complex emotions of the characters well.
In "The Pretender", she plays Yu Manli, who is ruthless and sentimental. Song Yi interprets this complex female character perfectly, and the limelight once overwhelmed the heroine.
later participated in " Celebrating More Than Years " and "Sister-in-law", which gained good reputation and was recognized by the audience.
In "Them Today", Song Yi plays the heroine Lu Zhenzhen. When her career is hit hard, she eats noodles with the taste of her hometown. The grievances and pent-up emotions burst out instantly. The crying scene in the trailer is very contagious and makes the audience endure it. Live with empathy.
After watching this clip, I am even more looking forward to her performance in the feature film.
ranks fourth, Wang Renjun.
When talking about Wang Renjun, most viewers think of Sheng Changbai in "Do You Know Should Be Green, Fat, Red, and Slim"?
He has a good grasp of the character, and the tone and speed of his lines are carefully designed, making this knowledgeable and gentle character come alive.
No matter what role is given to him, the audience does not have to worry.
In addition, the drama also has actors such as Li Chun, Zhang Chao, Li Junxian, etc. Just looking at the cast, this drama is worth watching
Conclusion:
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, in recent years There are many domestic female workplace dramas, but only a few of them have truly gained a solid reputation.
If "Today's Girls" wants to win, it must do these two things.
First of all, the plot must be reasonable.
A common problem with domestic dramas these days is that conflicts arise for the sake of creating conflicts and force anxiety.
The protagonists always do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand and forcefully advance the plot. The logical flaws are too obvious and the audience naturally doesn't like watching them.
Secondly, break out of the female drama routine.
Most of the current female dramas are about scumbag men cheating and the original wife's counterattack. On the surface, they say how independent women are, but in fact they have not broken away from the "male cohesion" perspective at all. It is even more difficult to gain reputation.
As for whether "Them Today" can live up to expectations, we have to wait until the main film begins.
