Seeing that there are only two months left in 2024, can there be another blockbuster hit in period dramas this year?

The period drama " Alley People " recently aired on Hunan Satellite TV may be able to create surprises.

Qingshi said this because this drama is really too strong.

First of all, the lineup is luxurious.

"Alley House" is produced by the famous "Noonday Sun", and period dramas can be said to be its comfort zone.

In the past, it has produced period dramas with high reputation such as "Parents Love" and "大江大河".

has a good reputation. After it was broadcast, there was a hot search on the Internet for #小街人家好看#.

Some viewers even praised it as "the best period drama after "In the World"."

After watching the current series, Qingshi dares to say: This period drama will be popular all over the country, and you can definitely follow it.

, the workplace division war, dealing with unreasonable neighbors, and confronting the stupid and filial husband, the period drama performance is refreshing and familiar.

Period dramas are mostly bland and warm in the eyes of the audience, like a mellow wine that makes people intoxicated.

But "Alley People" is a little different. It uses three high-energy plots at the beginning to give the period drama a sense of familiarity.

No. 1: Unit room division battle.

The story takes place in the late 1970s. The first conflict the characters in the play encounter is room allocation. Song Ying (played by Jiang Xin), one of the heroines of

, works in a cotton spinning factory. She has to put her children in the staff dormitory because she is not assigned a room to work.

My son is noisy and even wets the bed when he is young, causing all kinds of complaints from his colleagues.

Faced with this situation, Song Ying could only fight desperately for the qualifications for housing allocation, so she went to the factory leader's house with her son in her arms in the middle of the night without saying anything.

asked the factory leader to assign a room to him. If he could not be assigned a room, he would keep his child in the leader's home.

At the same time, his son Lin Dongzhe followed his mother's teachings and cried loudly at the leader's house, saying that the leader bullied their family.

The mother and son sang together like this, which made the neighbors know about it.

The next day, the factory leader arranged for people from the real estate department to do the work, but Song Ying still argued in person.

In the end, the leader couldn't bear it anymore and found a way to change Song Ying's house.

And the one who lives in the same yard as her happens to be Huang Ling (played by Yan Ni), and the fate of the two families begins.

Second: Cure unreasonable neighbors.

When Huang Ling took her two children to her new home, she heard Song Ying cursing in the yard.

It turns out that the neighbor next door secretly dug a hole in the corner of the yard, and the dirty water from his house flowed directly into Song Ying's yard.

The most annoying thing is Song Ying’s husband Lin Wufeng (played by Li Guangjie). Even if he rebuilt the hole in the corner, the next second it was cut open again by the next door.

So Song Ying and his wife came up with an idea. They first got a few bags of sand and then blocked the drainage outlet in their yard.

When it rains heavily, the water in Song Ying’s courtyard cannot be drained out and flows back to the neighboring courtyard. The courtyards on both sides are flooded with water.

However, Song Ying’s house had sandbags piled at the door so water would not enter the house, and the house next door had not only the yard flooded but also the house.

In the end, the neighbor had no choice but to patch up the hole. After this battle, Song Ying and his wife easily took control of the small courtyard next door.

Third: Forcefully confront the foolish and filial husband.

Yan Ni plays Huang Ling, a female textile factory worker. Her husband Zhuang Chaoying (played by Guo Xiaodong) is very stupid and filial as the eldest son in the family, which makes Huang Ling a lot angry.

Huang Ling was busy preparing a large table of dishes for her mother-in-law's birthday, but in the end she was not served, so she could only eat with her daughter by the kitchen stove with the bowl in hand.

finally bought meat, and her husband’s family even brought a bunch of people to eat the meat.

also wanted to send her husband's brother and sister's children to live with Huang Ling's family during the winter vacation, but he never mentioned the issue of the children's food rations.

Huang Ling’s family is already nervous about rationing, and they have to feed a few more children. How can Huang Ling endure it?

So for the sake of her children, Huang Ling no longer swallowed her anger, forced herself to confront her foolish and filial husband, and went directly back to her parents' home with her children.

With the exciting plot, the series not only portrays the characteristics of the two families, the Zhuang family and the Lin family, but also unfolds a steaming picture of life in the alleys.

, Hua Fei Jiang Xin and shopkeeper Tong Yan Ni perform on the same stage. Their friendship is so touching.

After "Alley Family" was broadcast, many people were touched by the female friendship between the two heroines in the show.

Song Ying, played by Jiang Xin, and Huang Ling, played by Yan Ni, are both female workers in a cotton spinning factory in Suzhou.

Song Ying is fierce and straightforward, and is a well-known prickly person.

In order to divide the house, she could break up and leave her son at the secretary's house, forcing the other party to give her a house.

The neighbor who lived with her discharged sewage into her courtyard. She could talk to everyone, and her aggressive style was like Wang Xifeng in the courtyard.

Huang Ling is the complete opposite. She has a gentle temper, is tolerant and pragmatic.

In addition, her husband Zhuang Chaoying is a good old man who always chooses to compromise on many issues, causing Huang Ling to suffer a lot overtly and covertly.

But they are two people with such different personalities, living in the same courtyard because of the fate of being divided into houses.

From strangers to familiarity, the two gradually became good friends and supported each other in life.

Huang Ling is the kind of woman who has a reassuring air about her. Her tolerance and gentleness are a kind of reassuring support for Song Ying.

Song Ying is fierce and forthright, and she can always resolve things when Huang Ling is in trouble.

Of course, the most touching thing is the sympathy between the two women.

There is a scene in the play where Huang Ling felt sorry for her child and had to rush to school, so she exchanged her precious dowry sewing machine for a bicycle.

Before giving away the sewing machine, she made clothes for Song Ying and the children.

At this time, Song Ying asked her if she didn't make herself a piece of clothing. Huang Ling said that she had work clothes at work and didn't wear them when she went home to do housework, so she didn't need new clothes.

But Song Ying said that if you let your children dress beautifully, you must also like to dress beautifully yourself.

These words instantly made Huang Ling blush. For so many years, everyone has told her to be a good wife and mother.

Only Song Ying told her that you should, of course, include yourself in your value ranking.

And with more interactions, Huang Ling became more influenced by Song Ying.

Faced with injustice, she no longer swallows her anger and dares to argue for herself and defend the interests of her children.

I have to sigh that the warmth and strength contained in female friendship is really a beautiful existence that spans time.

Of course, the popularity of the two female characters must also be attributed to the two leading actors.

After becoming a major star, Yan Ni’s acting skills are as stable as ever this time.

Huang Ling, played by Yan Ni, is a typical traditional woman, gentle and virtuous, hardworking and thrifty.

works silently for her family. Even if she is wronged by her husband's family, she always chooses to swallow her anger.

Yan Ni’s image and acting skills made her stand out for the role as soon as she appeared. She didn’t even need words, and the character’s forbearance and kindness could be seen in those eyes.

In the plot currently aired, Yan Ni has contributed many highlight clips, and you can intuitively feel Yan Ni's delicate and solid acting skills.

For example, I cooked a table of dishes for my mother-in-law’s birthday, but she refused to serve them.

Yan Ni didn’t have a line at that moment, but with her eyes and expressions, she acted out Huang Ling’s disappointed, dissatisfied but accustomed mood.

Huang Ling finally bought meat. She sang happily in the yard and planned to stew pork ribs for her children. However, she heard her husband say that her mother-in-law and others were coming to eat.

’s originally smiling face slowly elongated, and his expression changed from speechless, to disgust, to disgust. The last curse words almost made people laugh out loud.

When Song Ying used the money she saved from eating snake melons to buy a bicycle for her son Tunan, Yan Ni's performance of laughing and crying was also particularly poignant.

It can be said that under Yan Ni’s interpretation, the character of Song Ying is three-dimensional.

Another actress Jiang Xin is not bad either, she can even be said to be stunning.

Jiang Xin has appeared in many TV series, the most familiar of which is Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The Song Ying she plays in the drama this time can be said to be Concubine Hua 2.0. She is fierce and straightforward, and dares to be tough with anyone for the sake of her family and friends.

At the beginning of the series, Song Ying fights for her own interests and angrily attacks her boss. In one scene, Jiang Xin depicts the characteristics of the character vividly and three-dimensionally.

Although she acts carelessly, Song Ying also has a soft heart, which Jiang Xin fully demonstrated through three crying scenes in the play.

The first scene was a quarrel with someone about room assignments, and I couldn't help crying when I left the crowd.

In the second scene, Song Ying and Huang Ling became neighbors after moving. Seeing that their son Lin Dongzhe had a companion to play with, they couldn't help crying with joy.

In the third scene, she was disqualified from the evaluation because of a quarrel about room assignments. Song Ying pretended not to care but her eyes could not hide her loneliness.

When she looked at the certificate that her son drew for her, she finally couldn't help but cry. She felt sad about losing the award, but also felt happy about her son's heart-warming comfort.

Qingshi believes that with Jiang Xin’s acting skills, winning mainstream awards is not far away.

. How can period dramas continue to be hits? Maybe this drama can give it a try!

Because the subject matter is popular among audiences, there are many period dramas on the market.

However, there are not many period dramas that are truly popular. So how can period dramas become hits?

"Alley People" gives a good creative idea.

first inherits the essence.

Looking at the hit period dramas of the past, we will find that they all have many similar advantages, and "Alley People" inherits these advantages.

Such as the realism of landing.

Realism is a very important element for period dramas. The story in the drama begins in the late 1970s.

In order to create and reflect a sense of reality and age, "Alley People" is very reminiscent of that era in terms of lighting, character dressing, scenes in the play, etc.

vividly reproduces the social style of that era through the depiction of the details of daily life.

For example, "28 Dagang" bicycles, food stamps, poles, and a room full of people watching a black and white TV are all very contemporary.

Moreover, the series also incorporated the iconic events of that era into it.

Major historical events such as unit allocation, resumption of college entrance examinations, return of educated youth to the city, reform and opening up, etc. are all presented in the play.

These all enhance the sense of reality and age of the series, so that as soon as the story begins, the audience is already wrapped in the rich charm of time.

The second is bold innovation.

As a period drama, "Alley People" is refreshing.

Among the hit period dramas in recent years, "In the World" focuses on family life and personal growth, while "Dajiang Dahe" focuses on personal struggle and the development of the times.

And "Alley People" chooses a new perspective-neighborhood relations.

The series focuses on the Huang Lingzhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng Songying families who live in the same hospital. With a tiny incision, the picture of life in the times is opened.

In that era of scarcity, the relationship between people was extremely close.

The neighbors are like a family, supporting each other, helping each other, and becoming each other's strongest backing.

This pure and sincere neighborly relationship is like the warm sun in winter, warming everyone's heart.

However, with the development of urbanization, high-rise buildings have gradually replaced alleys, and this kind of neighborliness has become increasingly rare and has gradually become a memory of a generation.

And "People in the Alley" allows us to relive the beauty of people being neighbors, helping each other, and bonding with each other.

Overall, "Alley Family" is a well-produced period drama with exciting plot and vivid characters.

I believe that with the subsequent broadcast of the plot, this period drama will definitely set off a ratings climax and become another popular period drama.
