When ancient puppets, urban, martial arts and dramas were all in full swing.
I am very surprised that there is no family drama in this year’s summer season.
You must know that this kind of subject matter is a popular choice among all ages. At the same time, it is easier to get heated discussions at summer family carnival stalls.
Although it has been a long time since there have been such phenomenal blockbuster works as " is good, ", " little joy " and "in the name of family".
In fact, there have been many similar works in the past two years.
Hao Lei's "Mature Years", Jiang Xin and Qin Hao's "Xiao Man's Life", Zhang Jiayi's "Happy Parents Group", and Ma Sichun and Xu Fan's " Fireworks " and so on.
Both the production team and the cast are very strong, but as the summer vacation is coming, the family drama is actually getting timid?
Finally, Zhejiang Satellite TV has taken action -
" There is an old man and a young man " will be launched on Zhejiang Satellite TV tonight and will meet the audience in prime time. At the same time, the three major first-line online broadcast platforms will follow the broadcast simultaneously.
Good guy, this is taking advantage of CCTV's " Rose Story " to come to an end, and quickly play the first trump card of the summer season, and it is bound to come out on top in this ratings melee.
This time, let’s take a closer look to see if this drama is worth watching -
As a family life drama, the story frame of "The Elder and the Young" seems to be the same at first glance, but when you taste it carefully, it becomes more and more interesting. I can often feel the shadow of real life.
The heroine Gu Xiaomeng (played by Deng Jiajia) is a Chinese teacher in middle school.
Unlike the heroines of other life dramas, Gu Xiaomeng has excellent expressive skills and knows very well what kind of wisdom is needed to maintain a family.
is not pretentious or pretentious, and there is no need to be miserable. After passing the level of the female protagonist, "Old and Young" is already more than half successful.
She could have resolved the career crisis and the conflict between family and work, but this was not enough.
Gu Xiaomeng has a younger brother named Gu Xiaosong, who wants to go abroad, but he can't find a good way, so he finally finds an agency.
In order to go abroad smoothly, he even sold the house in his hometown privately, but he never thought that the agent was a liar.
The mother of the two siblings, Liu Meiqin, could only come to Suzhou with her son Gu Xiaosong to join her daughter.
But Gu Xiaosong knew that he had gotten into trouble, so he left his mother to his sister and ran away.
So, Gu Xiaomeng, his mother Liu Meiqin, her husband Lu Xiang, and their parents, a family of five, started a new life.
However, is it really that easy for three old people to live together?
Different living habits make Liu Meiqin and her son-in-law bound to have conflicts, and Gu Xiaomeng is caught in the middle and has to be the lubricant, comforting both sides.
At the same time, the job of a Chinese teacher in a middle school was not that easy. Her family was very stressed, and she had to devote some of her energy to school matters.
The house leaked and it rained all night. At this moment, Gu Xiaomeng discovered that she was pregnant.
Of course, for her, being able to transform into a mother's identity is not a bad thing.
The arrival of new life made the whole family more harmonious, and Gu Xiaomeng's life took another step towards perfection.
However, after the birth of the new life, the mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
looks trivial and troublesome, but in fact there are no bloody plots such as cheating and beating the mistress, bankruptcy and abuse.
is very close to reality, and Gu Xiaomeng's husband is also relatively friendly. This time I can finally watch a comfortable family drama.
Most of the family dramas on the market today are "mash-ups". Just a few Mesozoic people who are popular with the audience can be randomly arranged and combined to form a "family".
However, when I saw the names of Yang Jue, and Deng Jiajia, I became a little curious.
This pair really evokes my emotions.
In my opinion, Yang Jue is one of the rare actors among the 85 niche actors who can perfectly combine the sense of a mature husband with the youthful spirit that has not yet been completely shed. When
plays a mid-life crisis, it's hard not to be criticized for being greasy, but Yang Jue's freshness can be said to be unique.
Deng Jiajia’s role as a married teacher was also a big breakthrough for her.
In the past few years, Deng Jiajia has blossomed in both movies and TV series.
From suspense dramas such as "Proof of Innocence", " Cloister Pavilion " and " Black Earth Silent ", to the period drama "The Ming Dynasty" and then to the urban drama "Brilliant Turn", they are not bound by the subject matter at all.
The role of Gu Xiaomeng is actually not very challenging for Deng Jiajia.
The " Love Apartment " series alone can already prove that her performance style has no problem in terms of "down-to-earth".
It's just that everyone has never seen the married life of "little aunt".
"There is an old man and a young man below" is neither a tragedy nor an emotional drama. Deng Jiajia wants to play the wisdom of a middle-aged woman and the state of being overwhelmed by complicated and trivial things. I don't know if it can evolve. in the hearts of the audience.
At the same time, the pairing of Yang Jue and Deng Jiajia is also very novel.
Don't tell me, they really look like a new-age couple. It seems that a new pair of CPs will be born in domestic entertainment.
In addition, there are two veteran actors who are more interesting. The first place in
is Xu Di .
The national mother, in popular works such as "If Running Is My Life", "Police Honor" and "Ideal City", she can play supporting roles deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
will most likely play Deng Jiajia's mother this time, and maybe there will be a tear-jerking highlight sequence in the end.
ranked second, Wu Yufang.
Listening to the name, it is not as loud as Xu Di, but you must be familiar with this face.
She is the mother of the heroine Huang Yimei in "The Story of the Rose", the mother of Shen Jing in "City Within the City", and the mother of the heroine Yang Man in "Thirteen Years of Ashes".
is not only a professional mother, she also won the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award when she was young and is a well-deserved movie queen.
Perhaps Wu Yufang plays the hero's mother in "The Old One and the Young One".
Then Xu Di and Wu Yufang, two veteran actors, will definitely have many exciting scenes with each other. Just thinking about it is exciting.
Conclusion
Although the plots of family life dramas seem not to be much different, the same is true in real life. In fact, everyone's life is very different.
The protagonist of "The Elder and the Young" has constant family disputes, but in fact, he can still feel the warmth of his family.
When the heroine is in trouble, her husband can still support her. The relationship between the two is also the key to supporting the entire family, which is rare in urban family dramas.
Zhejiang Satellite TV first released the drama in the summer season, which actually proves that family dramas have a wider audience. Works such as
tend to have good ratings. As the plot develops, discussion points can easily arise. As long as some people watch it, it will be popular.
As for whether Deng Jiajia and Yang Jue can act as husband and wife, and whether this drama can become the first family drama of the summer, we will wait and see!
