I think this finale is really good. If we say that the series was advocating a new lifestyle that fits the psychology of contemporary young people - having the courage to be unflattering, be true to yourself, do what you like, and pursue The dream of freedom, then this finale breaks through the single perspective. After letting go, it does not float to the sky, but firmly catches the breath of the earth again.
It truly tells us: No matter which lifestyle you choose, there will be a price. Whether you give up your dreams for a stable life, or give up a stable job for freedom and dreams, you will pay the real price in real life. price. (If you want to ask why you have to choose, why can't you have both, then you can talk to the chairman of Wu Xiuya's former company.)
Because the price must be paid by yourself, everyone has to think Know clearly, it is up to you to make this choice. Even if you don’t want to make your own choice, obeying the wishes of your parents, partner, or other significant other is still a choice, and when you are paying for it every minute later, you may feel sorry for the person who made this choice for you in the first place. People's hearts are full of resentment.
From this point of view, it is more cost-effective to respect your own wishes and make your own choices after seeing the costs clearly. At least you will not blame others.
Wu Xiuya is the person who chose freedom and dreams. She gave up her original white-collar job in a big factory in order to talk about talk shows. She was originally walking in a cool way, but she also actively embraced a new life and devoted herself to a new career.
As soon as Wu Xiuya's mother came, her embarrassment after freedom came. Her mother's restaurant reservations and shopping malls directly caused Wu Xiuya, who was already facing financial difficulties, to have a huge financial deficit.
However, the consumption level of Wu Xiuya’s mother here does not match her personality. A full-time housewife in an ordinary family spends 2,600 on a meal with her daughter, and goes to the mall to buy clothes worth nearly 10,000 yuan. It is impossible for a housewife to be aware of the price. Insensitive, Wu Xiuya's father is not a boss or a high-income earner, and Wu Xiuya's mother's lavish spending is out of character and out of touch with reality.
This is nothing. What embarrasses Wu Xiuya the most is that after her mother learned that she broke up and resigned, she went to her former company to find her boss and made such a big fuss with her that Wu Xiuya finally found her way back. I found myself in a very embarrassing and frustrating situation.
This isn't even worse. Her mother was diagnosed with cancer and was hospitalized. Wu Xiuya's father was stranded in a mountainous area and could not come back. Wu Xiuya didn't even have money to pay for the hospital bills. Her ex-boyfriend Zheng Hao paid for it.
Wu Xiuya decided to be true to herself and gave up her stable job for the talk show she loved. After going through twists and turns, she regained the courage that was thankless and was about to throw herself into her new life. However, something unexpected happened in reality. It caught her off guard.
's new boyfriend Shi Ye, who he likes with, can't be of any real help in this situation. Instead, his ex-boyfriend Zheng Hao uses his connections to arrange hospital beds and find experts, and also helps by paying for hospitalization and surgery fees in advance. Wu Xiuya and her daughter are very busy.
Let’s talk about the character of Shi Ye. He should be the one who woke up earlier and gave up the opportunity to stay in the advertising agency for promotion. Because of his love for talk shows, he initially made a living by ghostwriting copywriting. Compared to Xiuya, he embraced freedom earlier, was unwilling to be restrained, and was less restricted by secular concepts.
Shi Ye seems to be the kind of person with strong mental strength. He clearly knows what he wants and is brave enough to pursue the career he loves. When Wu Xiuya first embarked on the road of talk show, Shi Ye Serving as her guide, Shi Ye shared very wise insights with her several times during their long conversations.
But Shi Ye, a seemingly very powerful and transparent character, was so easily shaken when Xiuya's mother came to interfere with him and Xiuya, backed down, and broke up with Xiuya, saying what? Unwilling to allow pure emotion to be bound by something other than emotion.Isn't this kind of emotion very fragile? Because it is unwilling to withstand any test of reality.
Shi Ye's withdrawal was not so much because of his literary and artistic metaphysical reasons as it was because his emotions encountered realistic setbacks, because when he encountered the incident of Xiuya's mother being ill and hospitalized, he clearly saw Zheng Hao He is more valuable to Xiuya and her daughter than he is to Xiuya. What Zheng Hao can do for Xiuya at this time is more and more comprehensive than what he can do.
This is the price Shi Ye paid for choosing to pursue his dream freely. If he had chosen to continue working in an advertising company, he would at least be as financially strong as Zheng Hao now and could provide more for the girl he loved when something unexpected happened. support. But now, he cannot provide such value and support, which makes him flinch in the face of love from a powerful enemy. How can we talk about freedom in this state of retreating when faced with setbacks in reality?
The character Zheng Hao happens to serve as Shi Ye’s control group. According to the routines of film and television dramas, a daddy ex-boyfriend character like Zheng Hao should have been offline long ago after completing the instrumental attributes of promoting the awakening of the heroine. However, in this drama, Zheng Hao not only did not line, and the sad incident of being dumped by the heroine actually contributed to his real reflection and change.
Watching his well-behaved and docile ex-girlfriend walk away, it was as if she had become a different person, doing many things that he had never done before, and showing a side that he had never seen before. Only then did he begin to understand her true appearance. It turns out she is like this.
Zheng Hao changed after falling out of love, and he began to learn to think from her perspective: When I thought about the problem from her perspective, I became a better person, and now I want to become better.
Zheng Hao later told Xiu Ya that she was a little unfair to him because she sentenced their relationship to death without giving him a chance to have contact with the real her.
Zheng Hao was originally a person who was well-versed in human nature. He was a rare outstanding young man in the eyes of his parents. He was able to learn and reflect from his losses and became a better person. Moreover, he still loved Xiuya and never let go. It is precisely because of this that Shi Ye later saw in Shi Ye's eyes that Zheng Hao was so good that he seemed more suitable to be with Xiu Ya, which reflected his inferiority complex and withdrew from this relationship.
But Shiye is also a very smart person. He has been thinking and understanding. He soon saw clearly his own cowardice. The fragility, avoidance and "appearance" behind the so-called "non-marriageism" are all in the same place. What is the difference between falling in love in the name of "non-marriageism" and falling in love with the purpose of getting married?
At the semi-finals of the talk show competition, Shi Ye gave up the original jokes and spoke some true words, completing the keynote of the show.
Shi Ye said that he watched the whole process of Xiuya going from being reckless and bold as a child to a girl who tried to please everyone, and then regaining her courage. He finally understood:
" Courage is not something you only have." Things that can be done once and for all are consumables that require you to constantly replenish yourself. Life is so scary, even for those who are rich, powerful, calm, free and easy, and those with strong will. , they will also continue to Fears, big and small, emerge from the ground. The so-called brave people are those who can constantly muster the courage to fight against their own cowardice. Life is a process of constantly consuming courage and then mustering up courage again. ”
Me. I saw some people saying that this drama is a pre-made dish, but I really think this drama is actually great. It seriously explores the problems faced by modern young people in this period of social transformation, and pursues a free life without being bound by secular standards. Or do you strive to regulate yourself to meet social expectations?
In the end, you may find that this seems to be a false proposition, and the real question, in the final analysis, is that do you have the courage to face the truth of life, and continue to muster the courage to face it with your true self? , to go through those real dilemmas, contradictions and the complex human nature behind them?
