The two words "CCTV" always have a place in the hearts of the audience.
There is no other reason than that the dramas produced by CCTV have always been of extraordinary quality, so CCTV’s title of “Good Drama Center Camp” is well deserved.
It goes without saying that classic Chinese dramas such as "The Gate of the Mansion", "Enter Guandong" and "Bright Sword" need no introduction. In the past two years, CCTV has also launched many well-known masterpieces.
For example, "人世", this well-known period drama, not only won multiple Magnolia awards in one breath, but also made many talented actors popular. The Douban score is as high as 8.4, and the results are so good that people are convinced.
There is also "Crazy", a popular anti-crime drama, which has made many unknown actors become famous instantly. The down-to-earth story and distinctive characters once set off a craze for watching the drama, making netizens sigh, "I can't watch it for a day." "Hurry up" makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
Not only that, dramas such as "三级", "Mature Years", and "花" have been well received by the audience.
And now "Yang Ma" is making another ruthless move! " Spring Beauty Sends Love to My Lover" was launched on eight CCTV channels on April 22, and ranked first in the country in ratings after only airing 3 episodes. It seems that there will be a new "king" in urban dramas in 2024!
Contemporary small town life drama, the story is so exciting
"Spring Love" tells the story of Zhuang Jie ( Zhou Yutong ), who had one leg amputated due to a car accident. Because she needs to recuperate, she returns to Nanping Town from the metropolis Shanghai, on the train , she met Chen Maidong (played by Li Xian ), her sweetheart in high school.
Zhuang Jie returned to Nanping Town and met Chen Maidong several times, and was even listed as the best candidate for her granddaughter-in-law by his grandmother. However, Zhuang Jie clearly knew that Chen Maidong would not leave Nanping Town, and she longed for the big city, even though she was young. The heartbeat is still there, but their life goals are different.
I’ve watched a lot of urban dramas, but it’s been a long time since I’ve watched an urban love drama with the story centered in a small town. In my opinion, the drama "Spring Love" has two major highlights that make people immersed in it at once.
The first highlight: the quality of life that hits you.
The story opens with a clear explanation of the work of the male and female protagonists, and then the two get on the same train back to Nanping Town.
At this time, the camera showed rows of red bricks and green tiles. As the scene slowly progressed, we saw a clean and tidy courtyard with a row of fresh and pleasant green plants. There were also poultry in the courtyard, which looked full of life. breath of life.
The next scene shows the pastoral scenery with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The air is moist and the scenery is pleasant. It makes people feel like they are in the fields, and their breath is filled with dry sunshine and earthy smell.
And when the heroine's family sat down to eat together at night, there were a few plates of side dishes, freshly squeezed juice, and the beer bottle in the man's hand, and the words were full of fireworks. It looked like ordinary home cooking, which was enough. Audience immersion.
It is not difficult to see that the show is full of sincerity in terms of picture presentation and storyline. Looking around, the human touch in the town directly overflows the screen.
started with an opening, and the "dish" of "Spring Beauty Sends a Lover" was officially served on the table.
The second highlight: rich contradictions.
The story of "Spring to Lover" seems to be a long and thin stream, but inside it is turbulent.
The male and female protagonists meet on the same train. It’s not the opening scene where they don’t know each other, but the “e-person” female protagonist warmly greets fellow villagers.
And our male protagonist also vividly expresses the "i person" who is not good at words. Facing the passionate female protagonist, he is at a loss, cold and alienated.
In the later story, the heroine helps Aunt Wu (played by Tian Ling) to deal with Grandma Chen (played by Fang Fang) who is looking for a partner for her grandson. Turning around, she discovers that this Grandma Chen is a high school classmate, Chen Maidong’s biological grandmother, and the other party is also I want to bring myself and Chen Maidong together.
Faced with such an enthusiastic grandma, Zhuang Jie said bluntly that she did have a crush on Chen Maidong, but their life goals were inconsistent, and she would return to Shanghai soon, so she and Chen Maidong could only be friends.
's straightforward and generous speech, coupled with soft filters and funny plot, it is indeed a good drama that won the first place in the national ratings in just 3 episodes. And in addition to the storyline, the most attractive thing about "Spring Love" is the outstanding performances of the actors.
Liu Lin The acting skills are full of quality, Zhou Yutong and Li Xiantai have a sense of CP
In addition to the plot, "Spring Love" also pays special attention to the casting. Each actor is unique and plays the role vividly and three-dimensionally. , not suspended or artificial, full of quality of life.
ranks first, Liu Lin.
When Liu Lin appeared in the camera, it was really eye-catching. Without the heavy feeling of a period drama, Mama Zhuang, dressed in simple clothes and selling fried chicken, appeared vividly in front of the audience.
From the moment Zhuang Jie appeared, the eyes of Liao Tao, played by Liu Lin, instantly lit up, and his eyes followed the opponent closely. His uncontrollable smile and unbelievable gaze made the character of a loving mother who had not seen her daughter for a long time become obsessed with him. .
When facing his son who had a "nervous attack", he saw the big white goose he brought back and introduced him seriously. Liao Tao was angry from the bottom of his heart, and his fierce eyes fell directly on the big goose. His whole person revealed seriousness and kindness. Angry, Liao Tao's oppression can be felt through the screen.
With Liu Lin joining the cast, her acting skills are stable.
ranked second, Zhou Yutong.
Zhou Yutong is a talented little girl with a good reputation at the moment. Whether it is "I'm Very Good in a Foreign Country" or " Love Is Just ", Zhou Yutong's acting skills are very natural and immersive. This time in the new drama she plays Zhuang Jie, who has a disabled leg. She appears as a little sun character, lively and vivid.
In another picture, Zhuang Jie is hugging Zhuang's mother, with her head close to each other's shoulders, her eyebrows are gentle, and she whispers about her love for her mother and nostalgia for her family. Zhou Yutong naturally performed the daughter's admiration for her mother, and also steadily received the scenes handed over by Liu Lin.
And in the play, the interaction between Zhou Yutong and Li Xian is also very cpp-like. They are high school crushes reunited after a long separation. This pair is really close to each other.
The third place is Li Xian.
Li Xian is really suitable for urban dramas. After his slightly stiff performance in the hit spy drama "When the Stars Shine," he looks much more comfortable in this urban drama.
I heard that my grandma said that she was reading poetry recently. Chen Maidong, played by Li Xian, looked disgusted. He looked at Grandma Chen up and down and said, "It sounds scary." His expression was natural and vivid, and the interaction with Grandma Chen showed the two people naturally. Harmonious grandparent-grandchild relationship.
When Chen Maidong heard Zhuang Jie compliment his grandmother on her nice name, Chen Maidong looked at her with a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with joy, as if he was praising Zhuang Jie, "You are very discerning." This small gesture directly gives the character soul.
Sure enough, Li Xian is still suitable for urban dramas. In the new drama, Li Xian's performance is so right.
In addition, Fang Fang, Zhang Lei, Xu Xing, Tian Ling and other powerful actors and Wanpeng, Wu Junting, Niu Chao and other young actors will play important roles in the play. So many acting talents Coupled with the energetic new generation, the group of characters is too eye-catching.
Conclusion
In recent years, urban dramas have continued to innovate, and there are more and more "urban +" themes, making the audience gradually forget the last time they saw a pure urban love drama.
In fact, compared to bloody urban family dramas, slow-life urban love themes are more real, simple and down-to-earth to the audience.
Moreover, the drama "Spring Love" is set in a small town and has a local flavor, giving people a strong sense of intimacy. You can feel the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers in the drama through the screen.
Secondly, in a romance drama about slow life in a small town, the way the characters get along is also very interesting. The short quarrels between parents are often hilarious, and the neighbors help each other and chat lively. That kind of emotion also gives the audience a strong sense of involvement. .
For the audience, watching "Spring Love" is like returning to "Utopia", stopping the fast-paced life for a short time and feeling the cheerful and lively atmosphere of the small town.
At the same time, the character traits of the male and female protagonists "i person" and "e person" are also the types that the audience likes to see.
The current "Spring Love" has just been updated, and it is already addictive in just 3 episodes. I am really looking forward to the follow-up plot, where the love between Zhuang Jie and Chen Maidong will be stretched to the limit.
So, what do you think of this drama?
