In the full scene, the story slowly unfolds like a picture scroll, taking the audience into the streets and fields of the "Daqing Kingdom" in the play. The audience was able to laugh and cry together with the women of the Hua family.
The drama is called "Little Zhifu" by some netizens. It provides an immersive drama-watching experience and satisfies the market's desire for a "sense of life" farming drama after "Knowledge or Not, It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin". Long lost expectations.
director Zhu Ruibin said: "The market's expectations for pastoral dramas and female group dramas are closely related to the current social situation. In the post-epidemic era, pastoral dramas that are healing, fresh and natural just provide the audience with a kind of "peach blossom garden"" An ideal place to go."
The superposition of ancient puppets and farming genres, micro-innovation opens up a new imagination space for ancient puppet dramas
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a fresh, natural, and rich farming drama, otherwise "Knowledge" would be a mess. "After the premiere of "Xi Huazhi", it attracted many "farming drama" fans to watch the show.
"Xi Huazhi" through sustainable micro-innovation of content, injects new elements and fresh vitality into the ancient puppet drama with a broad audience base, and opens up the imagination space of ancient puppet drama: the story structure level of the original ancient puppet drama can also be Such richness goes beyond ancient puppets and farming.
The story of "Cherishing Flowers" begins with the "decline" of the famous Hua family, which was confiscated, and unfolds with the step-by-step revival of the Hua family. In addition to the ancient puppet drama, the plot also has multiple main lines. This narrative structure greatly enhances the artistic expression of the drama. The narrative focuses on families, shopping malls, and courts. The audience sees a three-dimensional and realistic ancient "Daqing Kingdom", which gives the drama a more profound social connotation and can also be related to the hot topics of the current society. discussion topic.
The love between the male and female protagonists gradually deepens in the story of the revival of the Hua family and the shocking changes in the court, getting rid of the sugary routine problem criticized by the audience in ancient puppet dramas. The two support each other, redeem each other, grow together amidst all difficulties and dangers, and gain better selves and true love.
The characters are created against routines, and the vivid group portraits are full of "sense of life" situations.
Among the ancient puppet dramas, "Xi Huazhi" has made its positioning clear from the beginning: to create a "sense of life" with a realistic texture, and the audience will watch it When the characters naturally travel through scenes such as homes, streets, countryside, courts, etc., you can feel the joys and sorrows of the characters.
"Cherishing Flowers" has rich situations, and the actors have to express the different status and mentality of the characters in different situations. The actor Hu Yitian recalled: "The deepest impression of the actor is that he is complex and changeable. To grasp this role well, you must distinguish his different states. When you are a royal sword, you must be ruthless, and when you are Mr. Hua Jiawu, you must be friendly. Being the crown prince of Ling in the court requires clever tactics. "
"Group portrait" is one of the key words of "Xi Huazhi". There are no "NPC characters" in the play. Group portraits exist in every scene in the play, and each character shows his or her unique personality in his or her speech: Shen Qi, played by Wu Xize, reveals the arrogance and stubbornness of a literati; Shaoyao, played by Lu Yuxiao, has been locked up in a deep house since she was a child to "treat illnesses." ", was warmed by the Hua family and opened her heart; Xia Jin'e, played by Myolie Wu, is fierce and shrewd, and will be personally involved in the "revival" of the Hua family.
In terms of character creation, "Xi Huazhi" breaks the stereotype of weak ladies in ancient costumes. The troubled daughter Huazhi will be independent to the end and grow into a female tyrant in the business world."I like Huazhi's vitality as tenacious as grass. In order to support her family, the eldest lady once sold peach charms on the street and was laughed at. She said back: 'It's not shameful for us to make money based on our skills.' This is exactly what girls want to say now." So said a blogger.
The growth of the female members of the Hua family from weak and timid to strong and independent is in line with the current mood of "female independence", arousing widespread recognition and resonance among the audience, and is also a reflection of the positive value of "the harder you work, the luckier you will be" interpretation.
In this regard, Zhu Ruibin mentioned: "The plot of "Cherishing Flowers" is complicated. It not only focuses on personal struggles, but also integrates many elements such as family grievances and people's livelihood difficulties. Sadness and warmth, personal choices and family fate, the superposition of multiple elements, It provides the audience with more space for thinking. The characters are diverse and three-dimensional, and each character has his own feelings and stories. "
