Over the years, CCTV’s vision in selecting dramas has always been unique.
Those subjects that you dare not photograph, those subjects that are difficult to photograph, can always be photographed in new ways in the hands of CCTV.
Moreover, the audience praised it repeatedly and set off the ratings.
But just halfway through this year, Yangma took action again, but this time, the risk was a bit high.
In terms of subject matter, it focuses on life dramas, which are easy to be bloody.
The stories are all about hot topics in society: marriage, parenting, workplace...
aired two episodes, and Brother Qi finished it immediately. He had to sigh, as expected of CCTV, this time it was right again Treasure.
In recent years, with the rise of suspense dramas, ancient puppet dramas, and spy war dramas, family life dramas have gradually been marginalized. The launch of
" Little Couple " was initiated by CCTV, which was undoubtedly a reassurance.
CCTV premiered 2 episodes, ranking first in ratings;
platform premiered 4 episodes, directly ranking first in popularity;
The entire drama focuses on the daily life of a family of three from a down-to-earth perspective, from work, childcare, The three aspects of marriage show all aspects of life.
Some life-like details in the drama may not have paid much attention when watching the drama, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is the highlight of the drama.
The first detail - workplace layoffs.
The story begins with the topic directly focused on the workplace.
Zhou Quan ( Guo Jingfei as ), a programmer at an Internet company, is considered a key member of the company.
And his wife Che Li (played by Yin Tao) is a housewife who writes novels in her free time.
In fact, such a life is not bad, but a sudden change instantly broke the original peace. There is a new leader in
company, and he is very dissatisfied with employees like Zhou Quan.
Then an order was issued. What Zhou Quan expected was not a promotion but a salary increase, but layoffs.
Many viewers will feel the same when they see this.
When people reach middle age, their biggest fear is undoubtedly losing their jobs, and the family will lose their source of income in an instant.
has such a scene in the play.
An employee who had just been laid off from stood on the rooftop of the building and told his story:
"I am 46 years old and have been working in the company for more than ten years. They fired me when they asked me to get a mortgage loan." , car loan, children's schooling, I'm too stressed, I have nothing now. "
also encountered Zhou Quan, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to give him a hug.
At this time, a gust of wind blew and the employee's wig was blown away. How desolate it was behind this.
went from a high-spirited young man to a bald man. After so many years of hard work, he was ruthlessly dismissed.
I have to say that "Little Couple" is really good at filming, and it captured the voices of many migrant workers.
The second detail - family worries
After losing his job, Zhou Quan took the initiative to take on housework and childcare in order to give his wife more energy to start a business.
Originally, in his eyes, housework and other tasks were not too difficult for him.
However, once you do it, it is not as simple as imagined.
When cooking, he was so busy that he could set the pot on fire; when
boiled eggs, he had no common sense at all, and the eggs exploded in the microwave; when
took care of children, he had no experience, and accidentally injured the children and sent him to the hospital. ....
The job of a stay-at-home dad is no simpler than working outside the home.
had only been a member for a few days, and Zhou Quan had made a mess at home.
He is exhausted both physically and mentally, and he explains the current parenting issues very well.
The third detail-marital balance.
Here, Zhou Quan has just been fired, but his wife Che Li has ushered in a brilliant career.
was bored at home writing a novel. Unexpectedly, someone took a fancy to it and directly funded her to publish it.
Zhou Quan returned to the family, and his wife became the "backbone" of the family.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this model, but this sense of gap arises spontaneously. Why does
say this?
Actually, there are traces behind this.
First of all, in his previous concept, "men are the masters outside and women are the masters inside."
Originally, the family relationship was relatively stable, but it was broken due to a layoff crisis.
The change in identity and social status made him unable to accept it for a while.
Secondly, after trying for a few days as a stay-at-home dad, he found that he was not omnipotent.
Before, he thought it was easy for his wife to take care of the children at home and keep the house in order.
After he tried it, he realized that it was not easy and he was not as good as his wife.
As a result, the relationship between the couple turned red, which is completely reasonable.
From this life-oriented detail, we can see the uniqueness of "Little Couple" as a life drama. In the first four episodes of
, there is no mistress, no scumbag, no weird parents and other ridiculous plots. Instead,
focuses on a young couple. Through their "identity exchange", it uses topics such as family, marriage, and work as entry points to give the audience an immersive look and feel.
In my opinion, the excellence of "Little Couple" lies in its sense of reality.
For example, there is an extremely life-like detail in the play, which is convincing enough.
Zhou Quan was taking his children to play in the community. When he met a group of mothers with their children, he found that he couldn't fit in at all, so the children could only play alone.
Only parents with children can understand this situation deeply, and it cannot be made up.
After all, "Little Couple" takes a realistic route, showing many microcosms of real families.
It throws out topics and alludes to life while giving suggestions and directions.How can you not follow a life drama like
?
