As the "concentration camp for good dramas", CCTV plays an important role in the hearts of viewers.
Farther away, "Mansion Gate", "Enter Guandong", "Parents' Love", etc. are all classics in Chinese dramas, and they are also the face of CCTV's good dramas.
In recent years, CCTV has also produced ruthless dramas such as " Human World ", "Crazy", and "三级" that have achieved both good reputation and ratings.
However, this year’s CCTV dramas fell short of standards.
The plot of " fireworks " is outrageous and ungrounded, and its reputation has been ruined because of the ridiculous content.
Although "City Within a City" has powerful actors such as Yu Hewei to ensure ratings, the plot is suspended and the ending is unfinished, which seems to be a bit uninteresting.
Not to mention "Hometown of Stars " and "Dream City" cannot meet the standards of the audience. Are this year's CCTV dramas no longer good?
Don’t rush to a conclusion yet, no, the drama is coming!
" Little Couple " is scheduled to be released on CCTV's eight prime time slots tonight. Two episodes will be broadcast in a row, and Taochang will broadcast it simultaneously. Look at this lineup, it is quite horizontal.
And after watching the trailer, I can conclude that this drama will make CCTV proud again, and may even break the reputation ceiling of domestic urban dramas again!
The thrilling "exchange of lives", the story is chewy
"Little Couple" tells the story of technician Zhou Quan (played by Guo Jingfei ) who was fired by the company in middle age, and his wife Che Li ( Yin Tao ) Because the novel I wrote in my spare time became an overnight sensation.
One of the couple was unemployed and the other was reaching the peak of his career. After discussing, the two decided to "swap their lives". Che Li would make money to support the family, and Zhou Quan would become the housekeeper, starting a happy life that was both ironic and ridiculous.
Combined with the trailer, the new drama directly hits the audience's pain points with two major highlights:
First, the point of view is sharp and interesting.
In the past, many family dramas were boring because they were superficial and ended with a reconciliation at the end.
And at the beginning of this drama, there is an "exchange of lives".
Che Li is a standard housewife. She is responsible for housework and taking care of children at home every day. Her life is exhausting and fulfilling.
And Zhouquan is also a standard middle-aged technical backbone. He goes to work as soon as he opens his eyes every day.
This was originally a very ordinary married life, until the novel Che Li wrote in her spare time became popular on the Internet. Many book fans flocked to her, and Che Li became a celebrity.
However, Zhouquan was fired from the company due to the embarrassing period of his middle-aged career.
Suddenly, the couple's life rhythms completely changed. Zhou Quan was busy at home and Che Li was busy at home.
The drama has a fast pace. From the trailer, it can be seen that the story has constant twists and turns, and there are many discussions about the status of husband and wife and family in the drama.
's content angle is sharp and straightforward, and the scale is so large that it doesn't look like a CCTV drama. Each scene accurately touches the sensitive nerves of the audience.
Second, fierce family war.
Marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also of two families.
When the traditional family rhythm is broken, the breadwinner becomes the wife, and the man becomes a "soft rice" existence, the elders of the two families will naturally "explode".
Faced with losing her job and deciding to take care of her children at home, Che Li's mother ( Xu Di) showed great dissatisfaction, and fiercely expressed that she had no place to put her face.
And Zhou Quan’s father was even more sharp in his words, saying bluntly that a man has no value without a job.
It can be said that "Little Couple" captured all kinds of conflicts between husband and wife: the proud elder, the unemployed husband, the wife who is at the peak of her career, and the naughty son.
Many popular elements of domestic urban family dramas in the past will be amplified in this drama.
The test between family affection and love, and the "challenge" between men and women on traditional family status, blend reality into art, with laughter and conflict running side by side, restoring the most authentic urban marriage situation.
will not work unless it explodes.
Yin Tao partners with Guo Jingfei, the lineup is too strong
Urban family dramas often test acting skills, because being able to impress the audience requires hard skills.
"Little Couple" has 5 actors, allowing the audience to follow the show with peace of mind.
ranks first, Yin Tao.
As a Grand Slam TV queen, I don’t need to say much about Yin Tao’s ability. She has performed passionately in CCTV’s “golden signatures” such as “Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky” and “Human World”.
Yin Tao's performance is quite immersive, touching people's hearts with every smile, especially the crying scene, which gives the audience an immersive experience. The role of Che Li in
's new drama seems to be tailor-made for her. Underneath her gentle and tranquil appearance, there is a strong spiritual core, and she has a strong sense of responsibility for her family and career.
The role of
is given to Yin Tao, which is stable.
is second, Guo Jingfei.
The acting skills of powerful actor Guo Jingfei are also obvious to the audience. He is very good at portraying small characters. Popular dramas such as " is good " and "My Name is Yu Huanshui" are all full of attractions because of his wonderful performance.
Guo Jingfei’s performance is delicate and down-to-earth, and the characters he creates are all vivid and three-dimensional, giving people a strong sense of immersion. In
's new drama, Guo Jingfei will play Zhou Quan, a middle-aged unemployed man who becomes a housewife. This character is absolutely within his grasp, and his acting skills are unmistakable.
The third place is Han Tongsheng.
National first-class actor Han Tongsheng was also invited.
As a ruthless character who is "cramping" throughout the whole process of "Hurry Up", Han Tongsheng brought the cunning and evil character of Li Youtian to life, making the audience unable to help but sweat.
In the new drama, Han Tongsheng reincarnates as the domineering Father Zhou.
When Zhou Quan lost his job and returned to his family, he directly pointed at his son and said with an angry face that he was worthless. His heartbroken expression made people feel suffocated.
This character seems to be difficult to get along with, and only an experienced actor can bring out the characteristics of the character to the extreme.
is fourth, Xu Di.
Another national first-class actor!
Xu Di is very powerful. As the "gold medal mother" in Chinese dramas in recent years, the roles created by veteran actors are quite distinctive. In
's new drama, the veteran actress plays the role of Che's mother. When she heard Zhou Quan's idea of becoming a full-time husband, Che's mother glanced at her with a sense of oppression, and the strength and dissatisfaction in her eyes almost overflowed the screen.
With Xu Di here, the new drama will have a lot to watch, but I don’t know what kind of rivalry she will have with Han Tongsheng in the new drama, so I am looking forward to it.
ranked fifth, Yue Hong.
This veteran drama star is also the "Queen Mother" in Chinese dramas in recent years.
In the new drama, Yue Hong plays the role of a thoughtful mother. There are not many scenes in the trailer, but judging from the fleeting scenes, she is a reasonable and gentle parent. Such a role is given to Yue Hong. Absolutely out of the circle.
In addition, Zhang Yunlong, Qi Xi, Sun Xuening and other powerful actors will play important roles in the drama. With so many acting talents gathered together, the drama "Little Couple" is definitely an acting feast!
Conclusion
When it comes to urban dramas, the first thing that everyone thinks of is probably suspended, bloody, and ungrounded.
draws experience from many "failure cases". Today's audiences are no longer interested in outrageous plots. What they really want to see is content that is close to reality.
And "Little Couple" happens to be the "stepping stone" to restore the reputation of domestic urban dramas.
The story of the play is novel, the viewpoints are sharp and straightforward, and the plot is told in a funny and joyful atmosphere that will make the audience's blood pressure soar. The rhythm is fast, both funny and tearful, and full of atmosphere.
Isn’t this the type of urban drama that audiences want to see?
The drama is about to start airing now. With the "big banner" of CCTV, the ratings will definitely not be bad. I believe that as long as the story is told well, it will definitely become a dark horse domestic drama in the summer season!
