August is approaching, and domestic dramas are also preparing to hit a wave of KPIs.
currently has two dramas officially announced to be released on July 31st, one is "Secret Romance" and the other is " Little Couple ".
The former takes the romance and sweet pet route of hidden marriage in the office, while the latter is a down-to-earth life drama.
Audiences who like these two types of themes are in luck.
However, if there is a head-on confrontation, it is inevitable that the poor quality will dissuade viewers, while the good quality will trigger a craze for watching dramas and compete for the top ratings.
So, who has a better chance of winning, "Private Romance" or "Little Couple"?
This time, I bet on "Little Couple".
First, the advantage is the subject matter. Family life dramas have a wider audience because they are closer to our lives.
The second advantage is the lineup. Not only are there two powerful actors, Guo Jingfei, Yin Tao, , but the supporting cast is also full of actors, and there is no shortage of actors and actresses.
In comparison, the configuration of "Private Romance" seems a bit weak.
In addition, "Little Couple" has not yet started airing, CCTV has already begun to promote this new drama by name, which makes it even more exciting.
One, the couple "exchanged lives" and broke the original combination model
The reason why the drama "Little Couple" makes people look forward to it is inseparable from the style of the drama shown in the trailer and the extremely attractive direction of the plot. open relationship.
In this drama, the couple has the same combination pattern as most families, with the male leading the outside and the female leading the household. However, 35-year-old Zhou Quan (played by Guo Jingfei) was fired, and his wife Che Li (played by Yin Tao) plays), and happened to become famous overnight because of the public account.
So the two started to exchange lives, broke the original combination pattern, and began to try a new life in which the male is the domestic leader and the female is the external family division of labor.
01, a young couple that coincides with each other.
Judging from the attitudes of the two towards work and family in the trailer, this division of labor will not affect the relationship between the couple at all.
In the workplace, Zhou Quan pays attention to the credo of just going to work and not involving yourself, so being late for work has become a normal thing, and he even has breakfast in front of the boss.
It is conceivable that in the workplace where everyone is sleek and sophisticated and wishes they had nine faces, a real person like Zhou Quan will not be dismissed even if he is not fired at the age of 35, but will not be able to escape at the age of 40.
After becoming famous, Che Li started her career calmly, confidently and resolutely, and she was full of motivation. She was indeed more suitable to stay in the workplace than Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan could not find a suitable job, and he also wanted to transition to being a full-time dad for a while. Therefore, the couple hit it off immediately.
02, both parents firmly opposed.
But closely connected with the relationship between husband and wife is the family relationship.
Even if the couple discussed changing the division of labor in the family, both parents would not be willing.
The considerate father said directly that a man has no value if he does not work. Che Li’s mother also did not support her daughter’s work, because the deep-rooted feudal ideology made her believe that it is natural for men to work and women to take care of children.
But the couple had to do it, but they were not used to raising children. They were in various situations. Either they fried themselves by heating eggs in the microwave, or they burned the kitchen by frying eggs, or they didn't pay attention to the child, causing him to kowtow. Broken blood flow.
This made both parents even more unable to sit still, and they firmly refused to allow Zhou Quan to take care of their children again.
Just from the trailer, you can already feel how real "Little Couple" is. It not only explores the conflicts between the couple after the division of labor in the family changes, but also talks about the psychological imbalance that will occur after the social status of the two people changes. .
even takes into account the close connection between husband and wife and family relationships.
I have to say that the theme and core of this drama alone have captured the essence of life.
Second, the actress is a supporting actress, and the character of Yu Jie is too scene-stealing
If you look at the creative team and script settings of "Little Couple", you will know that the cast of this drama will not be bad. The director of
is Lu Ying, who has filmed works such as "心花路 ", "Embroidered Spring Knife ", " There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind ", and the screenwriter is the director of " Ode to Joy" ", " Girls' School in the Mountains " and other works.
Therefore, it attracted actors such as Yin Tao and Guo Jingfei, as well as two national first-class actors, Han Tongsheng and Xu Di, and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress Yue Hong.
It is undeniable that any actor in this drama is a king.
But after watching the trailer and stills, what surprised me the most was the first-class female lead Qixi . From character design to appearance to acting, she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and was nominated for many awards. , and Qi Xi, who has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress, is likely to steal Yin Tao's limelight.
Although it is not yet known what kind of role Qi Xi will play, the heroine's public account in the trailer has become popular and Meng Fei (played by Qi Xi), who is the heroine's best friend, is even happier than she is.
then helped the heroine's career development and became a good partner of the heroine. I can already feel this character's generosity and control of the industry's trends.
In the drama, Qi Xi has short lamb hair and wears rich and aura makeup. She looks bright and high-profile, but she also has a feeling that she should not be approached by strangers. She directly resembles a strong and sassy working woman. Concrete.
When it comes to Che Li and Zhou Quan's change in the family model from the male head of household and the female head of house to the male head of house and the female head of house, she also very consciously chooses to support it. She believes that whether women take care of the family full-time is not a fixed rule, and women can do it too. Choose the life you want.
When it comes to relationships, you can also feel her steady control of her partner. After all, who wouldn't love a beautiful sister who is sexy and charming, but can also make people feel a sense of distance?
Then there is Qi Xi’s acting skills, which are not inferior to Yin Tao. Although she is not a Grand Slam queen, Qi Xi can always make the supporting actress act like a heroine.
In "The Miracle Kid", she played the hearing-impaired Wang Chunmei. She was stubborn and persistent, making her the most eye-catching actress in the film. And in " Mystery of the Floating City ", she could make the heroine Hao Lei feel sad. Eclipsed.
does not rely on extra scenes to steal the show, but relies entirely on charm to conquer the audience. Any heroine would be secretly nervous when encountering such a supporting female character.
Conclusion
Family life dramas with all-star casts are not uncommon. In the past few years, we have not seen works like "Little Days " and "Xiao Min's Family".
It’s just that whether it starts with the relationship between husband and wife or touches the pain points of countless families, almost all of them are superficial.
There are only a handful of works like "Little Couple" that capture the essence and core of life just by looking at the trailer.
Therefore, it is true that the strong cast is a major attraction of "Little Couple", but it is not the real secret to getting out of the circle. The plot is the highlight of "Little Couple".
Do you think this "Little Couple" can be a hit?
