Lifestyle dramas are also a popular theme in domestic dramas. However, in recent years, life dramas have always dissuaded the audience due to their unconventional plots and bloody plots. There is no one in the market that can do this. Life dramas that arouse the audience's empathy. Most life dramas focus on the petty bourgeoisie, but they show off the bitterness of the poor.
The audience is tired of watching this and cannot empathize with it. When they think of millions of people who are suffering miserably because of these people talking, they become very angry.
Not only that, various forms of sister-brother love have almost become the trend of today’s life dramas. The huge age gap is not only showing love across ages, but also seeking novelties and testing the audience's lower limit of acceptance.
After waiting and waiting, this "Mortal Song" gave the audience something reliable to watch.
In iQiyi's future film list for 2024, "Mortal Song" is among them. This drama has released the latest trailer. From the texture, lineup, and main plot, it has achieved the ultimate, attracting the attention of a group of netizens .
Before "Mortal Song" is officially launched, we will first take a peek and taste the explosive news of this drama.
Three pairs of cps, three kinds of love, "Mortal Song" tells the story of mortals
In the main plot line of "Mortal Song", there are three pairs of cps, Shen Lin ( Yin Tao) and Na Wei ( Wang Xiao Shen Lin (played by ) is a couple who have been married for many years. Shen Lin has been a housewife for 5 years, but due to her husband being laid off, she had to return to the workplace.
Mortgage pressure, child-rearing conflicts, in Shen Lin and Na Wei, you can almost see the problems of most middle-aged couples. Realistic and down-to-earth, all the highlights surrounding this pair are easy for the audience to empathize with.
As for the second pair of CPs, they are exploring the realm of spirituality and values. Qin Junjie plays Shen Lei, a casual man who wants a plain life, but his wife thinks he is not seeking advancement. The conflict of values caused the two to part ways. Shen Lei's faith collapsed, and he finally chose to resign and live in seclusion.
At first glance, the character Shen Lei is too suspended, but in fact he represents the state of mind that many people want to escape but cannot escape in today's fast-paced life.
The third pair of cps is the emotional conflict between Li Xiaoyue (played by Zhang Ruonan) and her boyfriend Na Juan. Na Juan has an annual salary of one million. He is a successful person in the eyes of others and an enviable senior white-collar worker. However, Na Juan suffers from work pressure. They suffered from panic disorder and serious psychological problems that also led to emotional setbacks for the two of them.
In these three pairs of cps, different classes are focused on and different issues are discussed. Almost everyone can find empathy in this drama.
Of course, "Mortal Song" does not create anxiety. On the contrary, it heals life. Take Shen Lin and Na Wei as an example. The couple is faced with so many broken pieces that it would be a headache to pull out any of them. However, the two people in the latest trailer are still very sweet.
They were under great pressure, but they understood each other and did not deny each other's value. Instead, they became each other's support in adversity. When Shen Lin and Na Wei encouraged each other at the street food stall, love and affection had overcome the trivialities of life.
The key is that Yin Tao, who plays Shen Lin, and Wang Xiao, who portrays Na Wei, are a perfect match.
The casting is successful, the acting skills are natural, and the matching is comfortable.
Audiences are becoming more and more resistant to middle-aged life dramas. Because of overturned TV dramas such as "Love Around the Corner", the audience instantly loses interest when they see a sister-brother relationship.
But the 44-year-old Yin Tao and the 45-year-old Wang Xiao have the right age, the right temperament, and their acting skills are even more powerful. At a time when all kinds of sibling love labels are flying everywhere, Yin Tao and Wang Xiao finally formed a popular group of middle-aged couples.
In the play, Yin Tao looks like a middle-aged woman. She is mature, rational, direct, and does not talk in roundabout ways. She has the freedom and ease of a grown woman, but also the softness and sensibility of a woman.
Yin Tao's temperament in this drama is actually the image of a strong woman acceptable to most viewers.
As for Wang Xiao, let alone Wang Xiao, his acting skills are very strong and he can master any role. In urban dramas, he can show nobility, and he can match Ni Ni in a suit. In daily life dramas, he can also play the cowardice and helplessness of a middle-aged man to perfection. In the trailer of
, Wang Xiao is a talkative brother, his back is always hunched when talking to others, and even the shock on his face at the moment of being beaten is like the helplessness of a middle-aged worker.
In the drama "Mortal Song", Wang Xiao shed the glamorous labels of other characters and truly acted as an ordinary middle-aged man. The smell of fireworks on his body was enough to make the audience empathize and make netizens fall into the drama. .
Of course, in addition to 44-year-old Yin Tao and 45-year-old Wang Xiao, there are many actors worth looking forward to in "Mortal Song".
Zhang Ruonan, who is slightly young, has a soft temperament and a delicate image. She has a pleasant and good-natured temperament, and her acting skills are delicate and agile. In terms of acting, Zhang Ruonan has always been stable, and the role of Li Xiaoyue this time is absolutely amazing. Can show different character charms.
Qin Junjie, a capable actor, can be said to be an idol and a mainstream drama actor. Although he does not have an outstanding appearance, with a little packaging, he can portray the character of an elegant and handsome boy. In "Mortal Song", he is just like He has the air of a young talent, but it is indeed rare for urban drama characters to resign and live in seclusion.
How Qin Junjie will handle this somewhat stream-of-consciousness character is also worth looking forward to.
Generally speaking, "Mortal Song" has obvious advantages in terms of cast, the quality of the trailer, and the direction of the plot are all interesting. But what effect this drama can achieve depends mainly on the following two points.
The first point is the director’s stable performance.
director Jian Chuanxi is not well-known, but he has been studying urban dramas over the years. He participated in the creation of the " Ode to Joy " series, and also collaborated with great directors to create hit dramas such as " is good ".
But generally speaking, the level is not stable. When there are no problems with the script and actors, the director, as the helmsman, is also extremely important.
The second point is to sort out the story line.
In order to mobilize a larger audience, the current plot of "Mortal Song" must be mainly group portraits. Three pairs of CPs, at least three main lines. But when the three main lines intersect, and how each of them is fleshed out, are issues that need to be paid attention to in the later stage.
In this regard, the latest seasons of "Ode to Joy" have failed.
To put it bluntly, what the audience wants to see in life dramas is just real life. Whether it is a stream of consciousness or a stream of reality, focusing on the stories of ordinary people and expressing their anxieties is the key to life dramas that can impress the audience.
As for whether "Mortal Song" can sing this song of life well and whether it can sing into the hearts of the audience, let us wait and see and look forward to the official release of "Mortal Song".
