"Rock and Roll": "Hardcore" Growth Solutions for "Alternative" Mother-Daughter Relationships

| Akagi bottle

Let alone a domestic drama, I have never seen such a mother-daughter relationship in reality.

In the 1990s, Beijing rock music had fertile soil, and a large number of rock bands grew up here. After experiencing an emotional change, she went abroad to pursue her dream, leaving her 6-year-old daughter to be raised by her ex-husband during the day. Twelve years later, when her ex-husband died, Peng Lai was determined to suspend her "Meipiao" life and return to China to face her daughter.

I believe that one of the most obvious feelings of viewers who have watched " Rock and Roll " is that the plot of is really too hardcore. One is "rolling in" and the other is "rolling green", one is a rebellious adolescent girl, and the other is a middle-aged woman who is independent. Both of them are facing "growing pains" with different themes.

meet again after 12 years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Venus hit Mars. Mother Peng Lai returned to China and saw her daughter's first face during the day. After a hangover, she and her friends in the circle were woken up by her daughter's pot of water, accompanied by an unceremonious sentence, "You haven't come back for 12 years, what are you doing now? !"

's common "hitting the straight ball" in the love drama actually appeared in the daily relationship of a mother and daughter. Seeing that the other party is unhappy, blocking the keyhole, changing the door lock, and throwing the other party's clothes are all routine operations; "death" behaviors such as setting fire to the bedroom, putting sleeping pills in the wine, pushing into the traffic lane, and pushing into the river are even more entertaining. The unicorn couldn't help but ask: Are these two mother and daughter or enemies?

is produced by iQiyi and co-produced by Bai Nian Hemu Pictures, directed by Li Jun and Jing Lipeng, and starring Yao Chen, Changyuan , Zhuang Dafei , Li Junmo and others starring "Rock and Roll", On the second day of the broadcast, related topics such as# Yaochen's new drama 好野一女###Penglai is what kind of mother and daughter in the daytime are fermented on Weibo. The subject matter of

's story is sufficiently novel and hardcore. On the one hand, it arouses the public's discussion of hardcore mothers and daughters, and on the other hand, the discussion of the original family is rubbed into the seemingly hard rock shell. In addition, the tacit rock elements such as Peng's pants, School, and band variety shows that appear from time to time in 's drama have made the audience who love the band more happy to chase "derivative dramas".

hardcore mother and daughter, are they "reverse teaching materials" or "mirrors of each other"?

"It's hard to use your brain, you can't even scold people."

"Don't pretend to be a mother to me."

Some hardcore, some hippie, and some tender feelings that need to be carefully captured, after four episodes aired, no It's hard to feel that 's "Rock and Roll" is dominated by witty comedy colors, wrapped in a delicate atmosphere of mother-daughter emotional lines.

On the one hand, the mother and daughter of Peng Lai, who are "dead enemies" to each other, seem to be "separately conceived". The mother announced her determination to "hold performances and sell houses to earn money back to the United States for retirement"; the daughter, in order to punish her mother, did not hesitate to use a fake pregnancy to defraud her for a leave of absence consent form, and the remark to her mother was "super scumbag".

On the other hand, in a series of two-way tricks worthy of being "mother's own", the similarities engraved in the bones of the two emerged little by little. First of all, both of them do their best and do their best for what they think they are. For example, the daughter is eager for talents to rebuild the band, and does not hesitate to surrender her identity to recruit a skilled guitarist. Even if she encounters a cold face over and over again, she is not discouraged, and finally gains a powerful musician; After the stimulation of "robbing my daughter", I decided to stand up again and make money to support my daughter.

Secondly, the rock spirit on both of them is exactly the same. After her daughter was expelled from the band, she was determined to reorganize the band and "let them (the former band) wait and see"; her mother spared no effort to raise a glass for resources in order to get the opportunity of performance sponsorship, impressing the record company boss.

Again, inWhen faced with the choice between reality and ideal, the two also made the same choice. Under the strong dissuasion of the little mother Chen Yue, who was regarded by her daughter as "closer than her own mother", her daughter was still determined to temporarily give up what seemed to be a more "correct life", and she had to take a break from school to fight for the ideal of forming a band; while her mother faced the ideal The choice between reality and reality is more decisive. From refusing to appear on the talent show variety show 12 years ago, the band fell apart, and then to the unwillingness to wipe out the spirit of rock and roll for business and go overseas to pursue dreams. The two people who

fought hard against are actually mirror images of each other and are closely connected. They seem to be negative teaching materials in each other's lives, and they are also a mirror to help each other understand and inspire their own self more deeply. Just as when seeing a mouse, the daughter will still subconsciously become the little girl who seeks protection on her mother's back. Before fainting on the stage, the mother also thought about "I can fail, but I must not let my daughter see it".

"Mother's Life" series, is it fighting to the end or healing each other?

has to say that "mother's own life" is justified. Several different emotional lines appeared in "Rock and Roll", which actually revealed several groups of model discussions on parent-child relationship.

The mother-daughter conflict between Peng Lai and Bai Tian is essentially a conflict between the mother's obsession with ideals and her daughter's lack of growth. In the eyes of the daughter, the mother is obviously a person who "abandoned herself" for the ideal. The mother's feelings for her daughter are more complicated, which will surely be revealed in the follow-up plot.

In addition to Peng Lai Baitian, the "alternative" and similar mother and daughter, behind the relationship between Bai Tian and his mother Chen Yue in the play, there is a discussion about "the grace of fertility" and "the grace of nurture". After Peng Lai went to a foreign country, her mother Chen Yue regarded the day as her own, and provided him with material security and life advice, and even for the sake of proper discipline during the day, after Peng Lai returned to China, she even staged the "Break up for you x million" relationship with your daughter". The trade-off proposition between mother and little mother, fertility and nurturing kindness will inevitably set off a social debate on the topic of maternal love, and the answer will naturally vary.

Another group of mother-son relationships is a branch of many of Peng Lai's many friends and his son Binbin. This is a standard narrative about a "strong mother and an awakened son". The son was influenced by a rock-loving father and his father, and suddenly awakened one day. Even if he was "broken by his mother's leg" in playing the band, he was unwilling to continue to accept it. The life of studying abroad at home has strengthened the ideal of becoming a drummer from scratch.

is without exception, in the process of confronting each other, they either reach each other's healing, or are inspired by more self and realize value awakening. Just like Peng Lai, who failed to pursue his dreams overseas and could only earn money by working in a nursing home, he was alcoholic. After learning that his daughter might be pregnant, he was inspired by another form of resolute personality; After joking and having an amazing bass slap, my mother was also inspired to fight.

and the younger generation's firm choice for the future life has long been traced. For example, she was opposed to playing a band in the daytime, but it was the mother Chen Yue who taught her bass and enlightened her on the way of a rock band. Another example is that many mothers who opposed Binbin's playing in rock and roll were also the former drummer of the Kuanghua Band. Walked the path of the band he longed for.

The troubles of growing up, the hard-core "solving" of the new parent-child relationship

As a drama based on the theme of women's rock bands, "Rock and Roll" is already a maverick in the drama market. In addition, its more aggressiveness is reflected in trying to explore "new intergenerational relationship".

On the one hand, you can feel the rock comedy tone it presents as a musical. The song "I believe I can fly" created by for Penglai was composed by the domestic veteran punk band brain-turbulent band . Before the performance, Penglai fucked Jack Daniels and asked the employer to make up the price difference with whisky, etc.Details such as the Nanjing lock , the smoky outfit, and the iconic curly hair of old rock that are always hanging around the neck all create a plump middle-aged rock image. Just as Da Cui, played by Chang Yuan, was still wearing the rock outfit of the 1990s when he took on the wind and Penglai, and said, "Even on the day of death, I will still wear this shroud."

On the other hand, hidden behind the jokes and hearty plots is the core of the exploration of the original family relationship.

In the past film and television works that explored the relationship of the original family, most of them emphasized the Chinese-style restrained emotion or the narrative of intergenerational relationship conflict and reconciliation. For example, in the past two years, there are many film and television works that we have been able to see, using time and space travel, flashbacks, and identity exchange as media to present a story that helps mothers and daughters penetrate into each other's lives and regain their love.

And "Rock and Roll" interprets a new type of mother-daughter relationship, which has nothing to do with intergenerational conflict, nor is it limited by the trivial role of the mother, trying to empathize with the audience, The hardcore of mother-daughter rock The setting highlights this emotional "direct giving" that is unique to the rock spirit to the extreme.

"Hate" means hate to the extreme, hate to the point of pushing you down the river, drugging you, and burning your house. This kind of hatred will surely pave the way for the ultimate love recovery in the future. Under the wrapping of elements such as comedy and hardcore rock, it seems that extreme disgust and extreme love have been transformed under similar circumstances, and the mother and daughter are also intertwined in their respective growth lines.

is on the main line of chasing the ideal of rock and roll in "Rock and Roll", whether it is the theme type or the narrative technique, it is rare to stay out of the way. After the marginal effect of the traditional Chinese mother-daughter relationship to the audience diminishes, the hard-core discussion of such a new parent-child relationship appears to be rampant, but it also brings unexpected chemical reactions, and also provides the market with new narrative ideas. Here comes a touch of maverick rock color.
