"Ordinary Glory": tear off the romantic script, let the workplace return to the workplace

　　 "When can we make a serious workplace drama in China?"

　　 The audience has been crying out for the "purity" of the workplace drama for many years, but the market has not seen any response. The reason for the lack of repercussions is nothing more than two points. First, it is not easy to create workplace dramas. Creators need to express the professionalism of a certain industry, but it is difficult to reach the hinterland by imagination; the second is the market’s "revenge shout" to the audience and the habit of watching dramas. There is doubt about the gap between them. After all, the line of love holds up half the sky in national dramas. "Quit sugar" is tantamount to challenging the habit of chasing dramas of most people. It means an offense.

　　 However, we all know that where there is a workplace, there will be workplace dramas. The day when domestic workplace dramas are rectified will always come. It depends on who has the courage to take the lead. This is why "Ordinary Glory" became the focus as soon as it was broadcast.

　　 There is no arrogance of love lines and no false growth routines. It subverts the previous character structure and puts a real good show on the workplace. Through a series of work life details and character status descriptions, the workplace is realistic式presentation.

　　 The audience follows the perspective of the protagonist, and constantly appreciates the tension of workplace relationships, and is also infected by the charm of workplace group portraits, and even in the process of watching the drama, they will be suddenly illuminated at a certain moment. Perhaps the biggest difference between "Ordinary Glory" and other domestic workplace dramas is that it can encourage people to see their own spiritual power rather than envy others' light.

　　Subversion: Start

　　"Ordinary Glory" focuses the lens on the financial industry, mainly telling the long-lost promotion of investment company manager Wu Kezhi (played by Zhao Youting) and the new "rookie" Sun Yiqiu (played by Bai Jingting) who has never been promoted. The story of persisting in struggle and overcoming difficulties together.

　　 Among the many workplace stories, "Ordinary Glory" is unique. It not only adopts the "two male protagonists" model, but also chooses two losers to start the narrative. There is no protagonist aura, and it is impossible to pass customs all the way. Undoubtedly this is a workplace drama landing. The best candidate.

　　 Sun Yiqiu, who has only a high school degree, strayed into an elite financial company. He had to start another career path from a starting point lower than everyone else; Wu Kezhi was outstanding in his ability and straightforward and capable, but he was not in line with the ideals of his immediate boss. The signing event was reduced to a comprehensive four groups of managers, specializing in handling garbage projects.

　　 Sun Yiqiu's first experience in the workplace can be called the death scene of a social animal, and Wu Kezhi, who is stuck in the middle, experiences the dark night of soul every day. On the first day when he first came to the company, Sun Yiqiu did not know how to use a photocopier, did not understand professional concepts, and did not know how to take meeting minutes. He was so nervous when asked by the leader that the earphone cable could not be untied. Everything seemed very funny, but this was just the beginning; Wu Kezhi Not only has to face the suppression of the big boss, but also resolve the jealousy between the peers. The choice of business and ideal stance also suffers from him. If he wants to get rid of garbage projects, he has to find someone to take his place.

　　It can be found that the protagonist deliberately focuses on the relationship and details of the characters in the performance. On the one hand, Bai Jingting looks for a similar growth experience to Sun Yiqiu from himself, and grasps Sun Yiqiu’s character with the mentality when he first entered the workplace. At the same time, he strips off his flamboyant and slack side, and removes the Beijing accent as much as possible to better show the protagonist’s introverted and introverted Be cautious.

　　 Zhao Youting considers how to drive the audience's emotions. He likens Wu Kezhi's daily work to the exciting plot of being chased by monsters in adventure films. In order to shape this busy but not reusable middle-aged workplace man, he broke through the previous screen image, dyed his hair white and grew a beard to make himself look depressed, and he intended to widen the age gap with Bai Jingting.

　　 Sun Yiqiu's panic and anxiety when he first entered the workplace, and Wu Kezhi's entanglement and frustration in his middle-aged life are clearly shown. One is a person who has not been socially trained, and the other is a person who does not obey the rules of the society. What they reflect is the workplace dilemma that ordinary people will face, and they have a sense of substitution.

　　Pure: Let the workplace return to the workplace

　　 Not having a love line is a challenge, but also an opportunity. This makes the workplace drama of "Ordinary Glory" more pure and hard-core, and also allows other emotions to grow.

　　 From the beginning, the high-intensity work of the financial industry brought the audience into a fast-paced atmosphere, and the superiors and subordinates around Wu Kezhi, as well as interns at the same level as Sun Yiqiu.Ming and true personalities form the portrait of Jin Chen's workplace.

　　 interns, Lan Qianyi is the only female who suffers from gender discrimination. She is independent, mostly showing her high coldness, using practical actions to counter the deep-rooted prejudices in the eyes of others; Gao Sicong, a student, has shown attention and received attention and treatment. Sun Yiqiu showed a subtle attitude different from others.

　　, already a father, Zeng Hao has no education and background, and his help to Sun Yiqiu has an obvious purpose, and his character of worshipping high and stepping on low is gradually revealed. Among the bosses, there is a dripping hr, Qu Zhonghui, a powerful man, and Wang Yundong, who loves his subordinates...Everyone performs their duties and plays their own dramatic value.

　　 In order to better restore the current workplace, "Ordinary Glory" referred to more than 20 investment cases in various fields in China, spent half a year conducting in-depth research on more than 100 practitioners in the financial industry, and rented an entire office building for live shooting. Actors go in and out with office workers every day, capturing the external details of the changing mood of the workplace. For example, the cotton of Lin Yuming's shirt matches the role of a blender and a rough personality; while Gao Sicong's glasses design is replaced with the character's self-confidence and frustration.

　　 The previous workplace dramas have been criticized by critics. Most of the stories in the story are more human relations than professionalism. The purity of "Ordinary Glory" is not only reflected in restoring the ecology of the financial workplace, it also hides the characters' belief in the profession. In the details.

　　 For example, how to integrate into the collective in the workplace rules and factional struggles, how to maintain personal value attributes while joining the workplace, whether the relationship between colleagues can develop into friends, and how women can survive in a crowd of men are discussed in almost every episode And deal with the current "real issues" in the workplace, and use professional rational logic to persuade private emotional emotions, showing people's pursuit of professional value in modern society.

　　Resonance: Brightness in pain

　　 has buried a suspense for the audience, that is, "Why can Sun Yiqiu enter Jinchen?" The answer has not yet been revealed, but this plot setting brings a strong dramatic conflict to the whole story. It makes the two different The world collides.

　　 "Uncommon" used to be Sun Yiqiu's umbrella. When he first arrived, Sun Yiqiu showed a sense of anxiety between the two heavens inside and outside. Outside, he was an airborne relative. Others envied him that he didn't need to do anything. He was the only one who faced the cruel reality that he could not do anything. At the subsequent intern training meeting, he tore off his mask, admitted that he had no background, knocked out the last hole card in his hand, and faced his "ordinary" nature. The moment Sun Yiqiu started to shine by himself when he stopped taking advantage of other people's light foxes.

　　 can be seen from the selection of the protagonist in "Ordinary Glory" that its position is on the side of the small person. When the protagonist enters a world that does not match him, he is highly vigilant and can lead the audience to see what others have overlooked. At the same time, huge resistance is constantly persuading him to quit. The humiliation of losing his dignity in a cruel workplace hits his face. Come, let people worry and unforgettable.

　　 Compared with the protagonists in most domestic workplace dramas, Sun Yiqiu and Wu Kezhi are very ordinary because of the lack of aura. However, they show 100% sincerity in the workplace. This drama not only conveys the value of "the beauty of ordinary people's struggle", but also expresses the fate of most people: all efforts are to live an ordinary life and learn to cherish the ordinary.

　　Only in a fast-changing industry can characters grow rapidly. However, in this immersive experience of sadism, "Ordinary Glory" also awakens the spiritual power of the audience. In fact, Sun Yiqiu and Wu Kezhi are like young and middle-aged people. Wu Kezhi dismissed Sun Yiqiu's efforts and hated giving others false hope, but he was still deeply moved by this kind of thing.
