On April 1st, the TV series " Cheng Huan Ji " was officially announced to be released on Yangba. From April 9th, the TV series " Cheng Huan Ji " will be broadcast on the star of Yangba TV channel and will be broadcast exclusively on Tencent Video. This TV series stars Yang Zi and Xu Kai, and tells the emotional story between the male and female protagonists. I have seen that some unprofessional "drama critics" have introduced this TV series as a sweet pet drama. Maybe it's because I'm not professional, but "Cheng Huan Ji" definitely cannot be a sweet pet drama.
You might as well take a look at the plot synopsis of this TV series first:
Mai Chenghuan (played by Yang Zi), a post-95s girl who was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai, at the urging of her mother Liu Wanyu (played by He Saifei), and her boyfriend Xin Jialiang ( Niu Junfeng ) to discuss marriage. However, the Xin family's favorable economic conditions made this originally equal emotional relationship unbalanced. At the same time, Mai's mother's excessive interference in her daughter's life events accelerated the breakup of Mai Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang.
Mai Chenghuan struggled to find the balance between filial piety and loyalty to herself. She gradually broke away from her mother's strong care and became more focused and enterprising at work. Mai Chenghuan's transformation was recognized by her step-grandmother, and she entrusted her with her most important responsibility of hotel management.
Stepmother's grandson and professional hotel manager Yao Zhiming (Xu Kai) gradually understood and recognized Mai Chenghuan in their cooperation, and the two became working partners and went hand in hand. In life, Yao Zhiming was surrounded by the true love of the Mai family, and his relationship with Mai Chenghuan gradually heated up. From "being under Cheng Huan's knees" to "achieving himself", Mai Cheng Huan has embarked on an extraordinary path of growth that is unique to him.
This "Cheng Huan Ji" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Hong Kong writer Yi Shu. You may also wish to read the story of the novel of the same name:
Mai Chenghuan, an ordinary woman living in a government low-rent housing, has been excellent in both conduct and studies since she was a child. After graduating from university, she smoothly entered the government agency and had a boyfriend who came from a relatively well-off family. , emotional stability. Everything went on an ordinary and stable track until they were about to get married. The usually busy and kind mother suddenly changed her attitude and demanded that her daughter get married in a grand manner, with a bigger diamond ring, a more grand wedding banquet, and more respect... Mai Chenghuan, this filial daughter was caught in the tug of war between her mother and her husband's family to survive. .
experienced struggle and embarrassment, and just when he thought everything could finally be settled, something happened in the man's family, and the wedding had to be postponed... "In the past, when I was born poorly and married poorly, it was a dead end. I had to show it to my relatives and friends. Bian, it’s different now, you still have your own feet.” And Yishu told us that status and belonging in today’s society must be earned by oneself.
The current adaptation of the TV series "The Story of Cheng Huan" is that the location and background of the story has been moved from Hong Kong to Shanghai, and the heroine's career background has changed from a civil servant to a hotel staff, etc. But whether it is a TV series or a version of Teacher Yi Shu's original novel, they are all about the heroine's choice in marriage and love, and they are all about the process of obeying her parents to obeying herself. Moreover, in both the novel and the TV series, the heroines have unexpected fortunes and achieve a financial counterattack in life.
Among the original novels written by Teacher Yi Shu, "The Story of Cheng Huan" is definitely not a sweet one. There is a saying that goes well: if you love your man in vain, look to Qiong Yao; if you love your man dialectically, look to Yi Shu; if you don't want to love your man, if you want to make dumplings, look to Li Bihua. This sentence was said by me, so I think it is well said and can basically summarize the differences between Qiong Yao, Yi Shu and Li Bihua.
Our current sweet pet dramas are derived from Qiong Yao dramas, which are just begging for love for a domineering president, a rich man and a handsome man. Yi Shu's novels will not engage in this kind of mindless love. She will have a more advanced perspective, allowing women to become women themselves - this is also a quite common slogan - if women want to become women themselves, they must first throw away Only the "marriage business" crap like bride price will do.
Among our TV series, some are adapted from Yi Shu’s novels and are quite popular. For example, "The First Half of My Life".In Yi Shu's original novel, after the heroine's divorce, she was very miserable, not as brilliant as in the TV series. Obviously, the adaptation of the TV series version is to cater to some women who don't use their brains very much. What will happen with this adaptation of "The Story of Cheng Huan"?
If we follow Yi Shu's original work, this time "Cheng Huan Ji" will definitely be a dialectical TV series that requires women to use their brains. If you like some female viewers, then throw away those dialectical things and just make this TV series a sweet pet drama - after all, in the novel, after the heroine gets an unexpected fortune, it is also the economics of life. Cheating.
Whether the TV series "Cheng Huan Ji" is a sweet pet drama is one of the important criteria to measure its quality. If it is a sweet drama, it is destined to be a bad drama. If it wasn't a sweet pet drama and it followed Yi Shu's original work, it would have the potential to be a masterpiece. Anyway, we might as well wait for the drama to start airing and talk about it then. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
