Many major dramas were launched at the end of July, and they have strong momentum to become the drama king in August.
To be honest, I haven’t seen this kind of fight between gods for a long time.
Gao Weiguang , Ouyang Nana collaborated on " Ice and Snow Ballad ", which is full of fantasy. Although it incorporates a love-oriented plot, it is very cute and full of fun. It is a good drama worth watching. .
And Wei Zheming and Zhang Jianing, the pair, also frequently exchanged sweets in "Secret Romance". The plot setting of their ten-year crush on Ben Xin is very interesting. Wei Zheming's husband's feelings in the drama are maxed out, and they are caught. .
But to say which drama is the strongest, there is no doubt that it has to be CCTV's "Little Couples".
has only aired 2 episodes, and the ratings are close to No. 1. Judging from the current plot, there is even the possibility of going wild.
Yin Tao Once released, there is finally a decent urban drama.
One, the bitter mid-life crisis, the heartwarming family life, this drama is so real
An urban drama focusing on family couples, the more down-to-earth the better.
The opening pace of "Little Couple" is so fast that I am afraid that important information will be missed at double speed, but because of this, it quickly enters the theme of couples "exchanging lives".
These three scenes directly set the tone for the entire drama, fully allowing everyone to realize how real this drama is.
In the first scene, a new official takes office, and the first fire of layoffs hits Zhou Quan.
talks about the relationship between husband and wife and family life, so the description and presentation of their careers is naturally indispensable.
Because career is directly related to the material life of a family, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of the family.
But as soon as he came up, Zhou Quan ( played by Guo Jingfei ) was fired from the company.
Zhou Quanquan, who works in IT, originally worked in a large factory. Not only was he decent, he was also deeply loved by his boss because of his outstanding abilities.
But because of the sudden change of leadership, he advocated wolf-like competition and working overtime is the style of a good employee. Unlike Zhou Quan, who is humane, treats employees as good brothers, and does not want to compete, he will naturally not deal with them anywhere.
So the first fire of layoffs when the new official took office was directly burned on Zhou Quan’s head.
In addition, the newcomer in the company was eager to get the upper hand and stabbed Zhou Zhou in the back. The fact that he used his rest time to accompany his wife and children on vacation and did not choose to work overtime spread throughout the company.
Overnight, he changed from a senior man in the company to a laid-off and unemployed homeless person at home.
This scene depicts the complexity and cruelty of the workplace in a realistic enough way. Zhou Quan and the other employee who was fired are both middle-aged, older and younger. The other colleague who was fired even had a mortgage and a car. loan.
worked hard for the company for decades, and in exchange he was almost bald. In the end, he was fired, and the next thing he likely faced was that he could not find a job.
The sadness of the mid-life crisis and the reality of the workplace were all captured in this drama.
In the second scene, the stay-at-home mother became famous overnight, spurring changes in the family division of labor model.
Fortunately, there is no way out for Zhou Quan. His wife Che Li (played by Yin Tao) has been a stay-at-home mother for several years, taking care of her children wholeheartedly. She also takes time to develop her writing hobby and successfully becomes popular with a hit article. lock up.
This also gave the book previously written by Che Li finally a chance to sell well. The publisher spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of Che Li's work for 300,000 yuan.
But at the same time, Che Li needed to travel constantly and had various jobs that required entertainment. It happened that her husband was fired, which triggered a change in the family division of labor.
A well-discussed couple comforts each other in a timely manner when they see the other person's mood is not right. In the dire straits of life, is it not a blessing to have such a partner who can share the responsibility and feel happiness and warmth?
In the third scene, the full-time father's employment situation is full of problems, and the parents and the mother-in-law collectively oppose it.
But the sudden change also caused the family to face new troubles.
was used to focusing only on work and calling out to his wife for her thoughtfulness whenever something happened. After becoming a full-time dad, he was in a hurry and faced various situations.
He didn't understand the basic common sense of life that he couldn't heat eggs in a microwave oven. He wanted to make a meal with good intentions, but he ended up with a mess on his face.
takes care of his sick son and mother-in-law, so he can only order takeout.
What really triggered the conflict after the identity change was when Zhou Quan threw her son to a bloody head. Not only was the mother Che Li worried, but her parents and mother-in-law also showed up to collectively oppose the couple's decision.
has been confirmed.
Who said family life is limited to a family of three? A real marriage is a combination of two families, not just the conflict between two acres of land.
It can be said that the realism of "Little Couple" made me successfully immerse myself in it.
Second, Yin Tao and Guo Jingfei played the husband and wife, Qi Xicheng was the biggest surprise
However, the success of the drama "Little Couple" cannot be attributed to the actors.
ranked first, Yin Tao.
Taking the leading role is not a problem for Yin Tao. She can also play the role of Che Li, who has transformed from a stay-at-home mother to a career-oriented strong woman, with ease.
urban drama is Yin Tao's ruling area, so stable that no one can make mistakes.
second place, Guo Jingfei.
I knew Guo Jingfei was funny, but I didn’t expect it to be so funny.
He can completely give up on facial expression management in this drama and play the role of a middle-aged man who still has the freedom of a little boy living in his heart.
can also portray the embarrassment of not being able to do housework well, and the acting is full of joy.
But the most exciting thing is that he played Zhou Quan very realistically, especially the kind of aggrieved person who wants to express himself but has to swallow his anger in front of the leader in the workplace, which is very realistic.
Guo Jingfei was chosen to play Zhou Zhou, which is indeed very comprehensive.
is third, Qixi .
When I saw Meng Fei played by Qi Xi, my eyes lit up.
was attracted by her appearance and temperament at first sight. She is beautiful and cool, and the lady is cool and cool. She attracts everyone's attention every minute.
When I look at the characters she portrays, she doesn’t want to join in the others, she is determined to be herself, and she speaks out when she has something to say without any internal friction. I was instantly impressed by the charm of her personality.
Qi Xi played this role so brilliantly that he almost outshone Yin Tao.
is worthy of being the queen-level actor who could outdo Hao Lei in " Floating City Mystery ".
In addition, there are the stubborn and funny mother-in-law Xu Di, the stubborn Zhou father Han Tongsheng, and the shapeless but handsome Zhang Yunlong. Their acting skills are all on point.
The casting of this drama is indeed a plus.
Conclusion
Urban dramas have always been difficult to produce good works. This is an indisputable fact, but after watching "Little Couple", you will know where the gap between good dramas and bad dramas is.
First, the plot.
