In the domestic drama market, there is a long-lasting genre, and that is urban drama. The genre of

can be both romantic and realistic, and can be integrated with other themes to complement each other. The audience ranges from the elderly to young people.

But the most popular among urban dramas is undoubtedly urban love dramas.

For example, " Love is Just " and " Rose Story " in the past two years are recognized as hits, but problems have never stopped as the popularity rises. Some urban romance dramas use the same model, telling the story It has a similar cliche plot.

Therefore, in addition to the big hit "The Story of a Rose" this year, " You are more beautiful than the starlight " and " In Blizzard Time " did not satisfy the audience.

Can’t urban romance dramas stop arguing? Of course

can! Goose Factory came up with a film " laughs at ". The drama

has only been online for 4 days and has already received a rating of 9.2. Its popularity and reputation cannot be underestimated.

I originally thought that this drama would become the "cannon fodder" for " Evernight Galaxy " and "Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain", but I didn't expect that it would be updated in one breath, and I still have more to say. This drama is expected to become a new ceiling for urban romance dramas.

01 The plot is witty and humorous

"Lost Laughter" tells the story of Shanghai bleaching worker Gu Yi (played by Shen Yue) who goes to work during the day and gives a talk show at night, and meets Liang Daiwen (played by Lin Yi), an audience member with alexithymia.

With Gu Yi's persistence, Liang Daiwen's illness was gradually cured. In the process, Gu Yi also confirmed his pursuit and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the talk show career.

There are two highlights in this drama that caught my attention.

Point 1: The cause of attacking workers is "Waterloo".

No matter what the theme of urban dramas, they cannot avoid the workplace. The camera of this drama is aimed at workers in the workplace, and the representative among them is the heroine Gu Yi.

Gu Yi works in a magazine. During the day, he selects topics, conducts interviews, and edits manuscripts. At night, he goes to Oz Bar to give talk shows. I thought that both my main business and my side business were going smoothly, but I didn't expect that misfortunes would come singly.

was first taken advantage of by her boss, and then the airborne director ruined her chances of promotion. Then the side business also encountered a "crisis". Gu Yi met Liang Daiwen, who was sitting in the front row with an expressionless face, which made Gu Yi question his own jokes.

In the play, the unlucky moments like Gu Yi's car being locked and his earphones being lost made people smile. Later, they could appreciate the bitterness in it. The plot was real and very immersive for the audience.

Highlight 2: The contrasting characters of the male and female protagonists.

Contrasting personalities of male and female protagonists are common in urban romance dramas. The contrast in personality and experience can bring tension to the character creation and plot.

And in the setting of this drama, this contrast is taken to the extreme. Liang Daiwen, the male protagonist in the

drama, suffers from alexithymia and is unable to perceive and express emotions normally, and may even lose control under stimulation. Therefore, he is unsmiling and has a withdrawn and rational personality.

Gu Yi is like a "little sun". She uses talk shows to ridicule the troubles in life. She is conscientious at work and optimistic and positive in life. She is even more enthusiastic about Liang Daiwen and tries her best to make him happy.

The contrast between the "cold man" and the "funny woman" not only makes the emotional pull between the two dramatic, but also adds a lot of laughter to this drama.

This drama combines urban love drama with comedy. The plot is humorous, warm and healing. This is the urban love drama that makes the audience shine.

02A strong cast

If an urban romance drama wants to become popular, the appearance and acting skills of the actors are indispensable, and this drama has also put a lot of effort into casting, and the actors fit the characters very well.

ranks first, Shen Yue.After

came to prominence as Chen Xiaoxi in the youth campus drama " To Our Simple Little Beauty ", Shen Yue starred in mostly urban romance dramas, such as " Meteor Garden " and "My Villain Boyfriend".

In this new drama, Shen Yue also returns to her familiar field, playing the role of Gu Yi, a Shanghai bleaching worker, with a straightforward and frank personality.

Under the spotlight, Gu Yi is confident and cheerful, and his smile from the heart is contagious.

Gu Yi also had her own frustrations in life. During the interview, she was suddenly told that there was no hope of promotion, her eyes were full of shock and panic.

The role of Gu Yi is simply played by Shen Yue, natural and real.

ranked second, Lin Yi.

Lin Yi’s appearance conditions destined him to be the perfect choice for the male lead in idol dramas.

In " to our warm little time " and "Derailment", Lin Yi's roles have won the love of many audiences, especially in "The Story of Roses", although his character He Xi did not appear much But it’s also impressive.

In the new drama, Lin Yi plays Liang Daiwen. His cold appearance gives people a strong sense of alienation.

However, being insensitive to emotions does not mean that there are no emotions. Liang Daiwen saw Gu Yi staggering drunkenly, frowning and looking confused.

The role of Liang Daiwen can easily be insensitive if he doesn't grasp the scale well, but Lin Yi's performance is just right.

ranked third, Zhao Haiyan.

As a well-known comedian, Zhao Haiyan’s appearance in this drama is particularly surprising. The audiences must still be impressed by her role as Granny Caihua in "The Legend of Magpie Gate" and Du Leying's mother in "Hot and Spicy".

In the new drama, Zhao Haiyan plays Wang Meixia, Gu Yi’s mother, who is loving and reserved.

Zhao Haiyan's performance is very down-to-earth, with almost no trace of performance.

ranked fourth, Yang Ziyan.

Audiences may be a little unfamiliar with Yang Ziyan’s name, but they will definitely remember her role as Concubine Jing in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". In

's new drama, Yang Ziyan plays Jacqueline, Gu Yi's boss. She is exquisitely dressed and has the temperament of a strong woman in the workplace.

Although Yang Ziyan does not have too many roles in this drama, her performance is still remarkable.

In addition, there are actors such as Fang Fang Bin and Ye Xiaowei in the play. As long as the actors in the play continue to perform stably, the subsequent plot will be even more exciting.

03 Conclusion

While some urban romance dramas are inseparable from cliché settings such as boss literature, workplace romance, happy friends, childhood sweethearts, etc., this "Laughter" is definitely a breath of fresh air in the domestic drama market.

The male and female protagonists in the play are not stereotyped characters. Both their personalities and emotions have their own reasons. There is no deliberate sensationalism or bloody scenes in the plot, and the development of the emotional line is natural.

At the same time, the casting of this film also puts the suitability of the character at the forefront, without emphasizing the popularity of the actor itself, so there is a 1+1>2 effect between the actor and the character.

In addition, there are many details in the play. The cold and warm scenes are used to distinguish the perspectives and emotions of the male and female protagonists. The scenes in companies, bars, and rental houses are also very detailed.

As long as this drama maintains this quality, it is expected to become another hit after The Rose's Story.
