On July 24, the TV series " Little Couple " was officially announced to be released on July 31st. It will be broadcast on stars and iQiyi will be the exclusive online video platform. This TV series stars Yin Tao and Guo Jingfei . It tells the story of the male protagonist quitting his job to take care of his children at home, and the female protagonist returning to the workplace to cheat. The play focuses on light comedy content under the scenes of married life.
You might as well take a look at the synopsis of the plot first:
This drama is adapted from the Maori novel "Full-time Dad" by the writer. It tells the story of Zhou Quan who submitted his resignation to his original employer with great enthusiasm. It happened that at this time, his wife Che Li's public account became famous overnight and was pushed to the forefront of entrepreneurs. position. Zhou Quan happily accepted a new job, with full board and lodging, and a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan after tax. As soon as he joined the job, he directly contacted the core customer-his son Zhou Aiwen. His wife is his boss, his son is his client, and he is a stay-at-home dad. It is a story about how the father's role returns to the family and a new life is about to begin.
The screenwriter of this TV series is Yuan Tan. The screenwriter of " Ode to Joy " is very well-known among fans of the drama. She is good at creating female subjects. Stories like "Little Couple", in which the male protagonist takes care of the children and the female protagonist works hard for her career, happen to be a very popular content among female themes at the moment. Among Yuan Danzhan's specialties, she should be able to add a lot of light comedy plots based on the original work.
Family life TV series, as long as they are poorly filmed, will generally have good ratings data. After all, no matter how bad a TV series with urban life themes is, how bad can it be? If this type of TV series can be paired with a fast-paced narrative and some light-hearted and humorous couple scenes, then it can basically produce good broadcast data. The audience in the living room still accepts this.
However, there are also new variables for viewers of current TV series. For example, if urban drama works lack real life content, especially real life difficulties, etc., it will easily be regarded as distortion by the audience. A story like "Little Couple", in which the male protagonist takes care of children and the female protagonist starts a business, would have been interesting and acceptable to the majority of women a few years ago. However, at the moment, I am more worried that it will be regarded as floating by the audience.
For example, in the play, the heroine became popular through her public account, and entered the entrepreneurial mode, and then became a strong woman. I think, basically no audience would believe this setting at the moment. . In Mimeng's era, writing content that titillates netizens can lead to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in business. But now, doing this is obviously outdated and impractical. Is there any public account that has successfully started a business this year?
For another example, when many couples are raising children, they both work together and both have to make money and get wages, so that they can live a family with as little deficit as possible. days. At a time when everyone is relatively financially tight, a TV series in which the male protagonist can rest at home and have enough food and clothing is very worrying. I am very worried that the current audience lacks the favorability of this plot model as it did back then. The better the heroine's family lives, the more the audience will feel suspended.
In addition, the TV series "Little Couple" may also have some questionable content in terms of creative consciousness. Let me give you an example. At our previous Spring Festival Gala, we always made fun of men being afraid of their wives, creating a lot of comedy baggage. These burdens were shaking loudly at first, but later they stopped working. On the other hand, "Little Couple" is actually similar, making fun of men's inability to raise children well. This kind of fun-seeking can be fun at first, but over time, it will no longer be fun.
Under the normal thinking mode, we all know that a man can’t even take care of his children well, and he can’t even cook. What kind of man is he? This is not fun at all, but a tragedy. In the currently released trailer of "Little Couple", the only source of fun is that the male protagonist cannot take care of children and the male protagonist cannot cook.When being able to take care of children and cook has long been the consensus among today's young couples, it seems boring to make fun of men who don't know this or that.
Maybe, our generation thinks that it is fun for men not to cook. Let me add, I don't take this for fun. I have always believed that regardless of whether a man or a woman can't cook, there is no difference between him and an animal. Among the younger generation, it has long been a consensus that couples raise children together, cook together, and do housework together. Any family that still takes pleasure in a man’s inability to cook should reflect on itself. This is not fun, this is embarrassing.
The plot setting of "Little Couple" is more like a way for older women to compose new words and express their sorrow. The author of the original novel of the play is Maori. "Her youth", there are indeed some men who have not grown up and cannot cook. She didn't seem to think this was a sad thing, but rather thought it was honor and fun. If this matter is put at present, the fun of young couples and families is not established.
My personal opinion is that finding pleasure in a man being afraid of his wife and having fun in a man not knowing how to cook are both low-level and normal people cannot laugh. This kind of smile is based on the premise that men should be like this. People who take this as their premise are obviously low-level and have failed to grow.
Based on the above, I am not optimistic about the setting of this TV series. I think it has many flaws and may be criticized by ordinary fans after it is aired online. I hope that after the show is launched, everyone will be impressed and will not enter these minefields.(Text/Ma Qingyun)
