"If I tell you to take this store, take it away."
Liang Qingran ( Charmaine Sheh ) spoke to Gu Dapeng, the chef of the time-honored Sichuan Bailou, with an arrogant face!
The next second, a bowl of glutinous rice balls was eaten, and it tasted like Sichuan cuisine.
"I am someone who wants to change Sichuan cuisine, but was changed by Sichuan food."
"Sichuan cuisine is not only a dish, but also an attitude towards life!"
I was attracted by a trailer. Beauty + food, the plot is humorous, the lines are profound, and the rhythm gives people an inexplicable "refreshing" feeling.
Tonight, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Goose Factory will start broadcasting " and today they are ".
Another 24-episode female group drama is here.
There was a popular urban female group drama that was both well-received and well-received. Which drama do you think of?
seems to be barely qualified only with " Loves Delicious ", but that was already a work 3 years ago.
Last year's " Hometown, Stay Well ", which had a rating of 8, has a good reputation, but its popularity is average, far less than its companion "I'm fine in a foreign land", which also reflects the decline in the popularity of female group dramas.
In fact, there have been quite a few female dramas in recent years, such as "Ode to Joy 5", "Her City", etc., but there are almost no works that are truly out of the industry, or they still follow the issues of marriage, workplace, and fertility, and produce similar ones. assembly line products.
Either it is gradually becoming a bitch, and a disturbing character is ridiculously insane.
To put it bluntly, although there are many female dramas, how many of them actually write female stories, present female dilemmas, and convey female power?
Perhaps, tonight's new drama can break the stereotype that "female group dramas are about filming women from all walks of life falling in love".
Song Yi, Charmaine Sheh, Li Chun led the team, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Chao, and Wang Renjun assisted.
If female group dramas suffer from aesthetic fatigue and homogenization, then the cure for this disease is Sichuan cuisine. Can
be cured?
How many dishes will we serve first? How do you like them?
1. Story: beauty + delicious food, featuring a Sichuan dish that is fragrant in the teeth and cheeks, and the plot is spicy enough.
In recent years, there have not been many urban female group dramas with 24 episodes.
The story tells that after restaurant manager Lu Zhenzhen (played by Song Yi) returns to Chengdu for love, he helps his best friend Gu Manting (played by Li Chun) face the existential crisis of the time-honored Sichuan Bailou, and meets with investor Liang Qingran (played by Charmaine Sheh). ), the three people with different personalities have gone from being different and opposed to working together to heal each other. They gradually come to know themselves through various life changes and choices, and gain a story of growth and transformation.
Combined with the trailer, let’s talk about the three highlights of the story:
Highlight 1: Sichuan cuisine specializes in the diet of men and women
The so-called diet of men and women, if you don’t eat enough, how can you have a career and fall in love.
The biggest attraction of this drama is Sichuan cuisine.
The whole drama revolves around the survival crisis of the time-honored Sichuan Bailou. From the beginning, it is a good dish. In the
lens, we can see how the oily aroma slowly penetrates into the meat when Sichuan ham is cooked, and how it penetrates into the dishes.
Dandan noodles are spicy but not overpowering the freshness.
Kung Pao Chicken, the warmth of the spicy pepper seems to be looming, ready to come out.
Sichuan cuisine is famous for its taste. After a hundred years of inheritance, it has been constantly innovating and innovating, leaving those who taste it heartily and with fragrant teeth and cheeks. It can be said to accommodate a variety of ingredients and flavors.
But the Chinese people’s food philosophy emphasizes a variety of flavors in life.
’s cooking techniques hide the principles of life, and the taste of Sichuan cuisine also carries the flavor of life.
The story of this drama is through the acquisition of a time-honored brand, connecting the lives of two Sichuan girls and the interloper played by Charmaine Sheh. In the trailer of
, the fireworks in the streets of Chengdu have been vividly displayed.
In the steaming aroma of vegetables, the three protagonists jointly search for the answer to family, friendship and love.
Highlight 2: The straight man kills the goddess to support the style of painting
The play triggers the perception of love from the core of the plot, and the style of the painting is pleasing to the eye because of several female characters.
Among them, the three straight male beheading goddesses Song Yi, Charmaine Sheh, and Li Chun can be said to support the style of the entire drama.
Lu Zhenzhen, a Chengdu girl played by Song Yi, originally worked in a hotel in Beijing, but her boyfriend was invited to Chengdu by the female boss of a large factory played by Charmaine Sheh, and she also returned to her hometown.
Li Chun plays the role of Lu Zhenzhen’s best friend, the hot-tempered Gu Manting, who has been staying in her hometown in the bustling Chengdu to assist her father, a famous Sichuan chef, in running the time-honored restaurant "Sichuan White House", still exuding a sassy atmosphere.
Liang Qingran, played by Charmaine Sheh, feels like a news queen who has moved to the catering industry and landed in Chengdu from Hong Kong.
The three women have their own characteristics in terms of personality, family environment, and workplace roles. By chance, they came together in Chengdu. The three straight men killed the goddess as soon as they appeared.
Highlight 3: Reflecting the reality of the return of all living beings in the city
In addition to the interesting plot behind the play of three women, the third highlight of the play is that it has a realistic social topic of returning home.
The heroine played by Song Yi originally returned to her hometown for her boyfriend, but when she came back, her boyfriend was also lost. The delicacies of her hometown healed her.
Chengdu is a city that is casual, optimistic and free. Returning tourists and foreigners chatted with cattail fans, drank bowls of tea and listened to music, and unknowingly appreciated Chengdu's profound cultural heritage and strong human touch.
As the plot deepens, people will more or less find the shadow of life in it.
They are who we are today.
2. Lineup: Song Yi and Charmaine Sheh lead the show, Zhang Guoli helps out, and the "brothers-in-law" are all male idols.
The urban female group drama has a serious hit on the street, first of all because of the screenwriter, the story is not attractive, and everything you say is in vain.
"Them Today" invited Qin Wen.
You may not be familiar with the name Qin Wen, but if you talk about her "Flowers", "The First Half of My Life" and "Golden Years", you should have an impression.
plus female director Du Xiaoyu, a female screenwriter, and a female director, who have made a lot of hits in the past, they will tell the story of three women's Sichuan cuisine, and this dish should not be much different.
Of course, the performance of the actors is also the key to a good female group drama.
The cast of this drama is not gorgeous, but the advantage is that each of the leading actors has a good taste. If it is really delicious, it does not necessarily have to be a Manchu-Han banquet.
No. 1, Song Yi
Song Yi became famous for her role as Yu Manli in the spy drama "The Pretender". This character is decisive, ruthless, affectionate and righteous, and is really eye-catching.
After that, she became the darling of costume dramas. From "Celebrating More Than Years" to "The Son-in-Law" and then to "Changfengdu", she stepped into the leading role of the heroine.
But her most outstanding roles have always been Republic of China dramas and costume dramas, and she has few outstanding roles in urban dramas.
This time she played Lu Zhenzhen, who was domestically abused by her boyfriend at the beginning, gave up her career for love, and then found herself again in her hometown. She is a very three-dimensional character. I hope she can perform brilliantly this time.
In second place, Charmaine Sheh
Charmaine Sheh is the standard vase that has been in the spotlight for many years.
It is hard to imagine that her first drama "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox" was so criticized by the Hong Kong audience.
Until Liu Sanhao in "The Palace", as his name suggests, he "does good things, says good things, and has good intentions", but his acting skills are still only up to standard.
Er Chun in "The Desire of the Golden Branch" is the first time that the audience has seen the depth of Charmaine Sheh's acting skills. In "The Walker" she has completely let go and performed her own style.
In recent years, Hong Kong stars have entered domestic entertainment, but not many have stood up. Charmaine Sheh has completely become an acting actress with the role of Concubine Xian. The more than 8-minute one-man show in the dark sequence can be regarded as an acting textbook.
returns to TVB to film "News Queen", which is another hit.
With her acting skills and distinctive personality, Charmaine Sheh is an irreplaceable number one figure on the female super circuit.
In this drama, she still plays the role of a female elite in the workplace from Hong Kong. At first, she is murderous and wants to eat up the time-honored brands in one bite, but in the end she is conquered by Chengdu. Looking at Chinese actresses, there is really no more suitable candidate than her.
For her to play this kind of role, it is not as stable as a Sichuan chef making couple's lung slices.
is third, Li Chun
Li Chun has two different images in costume dramas, Republic of China dramas and urban dramas.
The manager of "Celebrating More Than Years" and Liu Rusi of "New World" are stunningly smart, beautiful and sassy, and can be called "straight men".
Li Chun in urban dramas is mostly a gentle and sweet character like in "Love Is Delicious". No matter what she plays, her acting skills and appearance are enough.
is ranked fourth, Zhang Guoli
Zhang Guoli has not done many dramas in recent years, but as long as he takes action, he is probably a ratings ace.
The old father he played in "Little Willing" was half-warm but half-cold, full of human tension, and the series was a hit.
The best part of " is as solid as a rock " is the drama between him and Yu Hewei.
The biggest highlight of Zhang Guoli's performance is his own sense of life. This time he plays the role of an old celebrity chef in Sichuan Bailou who is facing retirement. Even if the people who bought the restaurant are killing him, he remains calm and calm, "You have to eat one bite at a time."
Watch He walked with his apprentice through the streets of Chengdu and felt comfortable.
What I am most looking forward to in this drama is the scene between him and Charmaine Sheh, a chef of a restaurant being acquired, and a female boss who came to acquire the restaurant, and finally became one of her own.
The scenes between these two acting masters will definitely be enjoyable.
No. 5, Wang Renjun
I have underestimated this actor in the past. In "Do You Know", he perfectly performed the role of gentleness and courtesy, but in this drama, he is not too eye-catching.
Until "Ask the Cangmang", he perfectly performed a teacher who was energetic and worried about the world, which completely changed my impression of him.
Wang Renjun is definitely worth looking forward to.
In this drama, he plays the man who affects the two heroines. First, the heroine played by Song Yi who is a domestic abuser, and later he is in love with the domineering heroine played by Charmaine Sheh who is always at odds with each other. I want to see how Wang Renjun plays the role of such a gentle scumbag.
No. 6, Zhang Chao
As soon as the new chef he played appeared on the scene, I felt that Sichuan Bailou must be saved, because he has a reassuring face.
Zhang Chao has also experienced scandals in the past few years. What made him get through it smoothly was his solid acting skills. "Soul of Chess" and "No Problem" were all solid. The trailer of his scene opposite Zhang Guoli is very nice, and the feature film will probably be good as well.
3. New taste: Is it difficult for a female group drama to sharpen its sword in three years? This drama may bring hope.
Recently, spy dramas have been stealing the show.
"Storm Chaser" has wiped out the long-term decline of spy war dramas.
However, not all viewers like spy dramas. There are still many viewers who like urban dramas, female dramas, and food dramas. After all, spy dramas are too strenuous and may burn your brain if you watch them too much. It would be nice to watch a beauty + food drama to change your taste.
But the premise is that this dish must be tough.
mentioned at the beginning that female group dramas actually experienced a period of silence after a blowout.
To put it bluntly, if you watch a similar plot once, you will find it fresh, but after watching it a second time, you will feel fatigued.
has "I'm Good in a Foreign Country" as the first one, but the audience is a little tired of "Hometown, Goodbye".
There was a mistress in "Thirty Only", and subsequent female group dramas appeared in large numbers. With homogeneous characters and copy-pasted plots, they soon began to attract customers.
The audience is tired of seeing the beautiful and attractive sisters, the aloof girls, the ordinary girls, the rich second-generation scumbags, etc.
And those female group portrait dramas that really break out of the industry often have their own killer features. "Thirty Only" shows female friendship for the first time; "Twenty Not Confused 1 and 2" follows the entire growth process of women from 20 to 30.
"I'm Very Good in a Foreign Country" took a different approach and captured the joys and sorrows of urban female workers.
"Today's Girls", what are the unique skills?
In my opinion, there is a golden sentence hidden in the series: Sichuan cuisine has twenty-four flavors, and life has thousands of flavors.
The series is full of gourmet food, with three heroines, one time-honored brand, many Sichuan dishes, and finally poured with the broth simmered slowly in urban life, focusing on the taste buds of the audience. What
leaves behind is the aftertaste of life.
I’ve watched too many urban dramas about mistresses and mistresses, and the endless distractions. Occasionally, a fresh and appetizing Kung Pao Chicken like this is a different flavor.
The demand is still there, and female group dramas will continue to be produced, but the templates with no new ideas will make people tired after watching too much. What the audience wants to see, in addition to novelty, is real care for women rather than consumption.
Perhaps, like this drama, without deliberately exaggerating the contradictions and conflicts, putting the plight and pressure of women on the table, and cooking a delicious dandan noodles for the audience, is the most correct way to open a female drama.
