"Sister and Brother CP" has always been a hot topic in domestic dramas. Since 2020, the same type of dramas has proliferated. For a time, everyone seems to have a story line of love between sisters and brothers The story is particularly preferred, and now there is an advanced version of "Sister Dog CP" of "Sister and Brother CP".
From Yuan Song He Fanxing in "The Next Stop is Happiness", to Mo Xiangwan Xu Ling in " Blame You for Being Too Beautiful ", Jin Chen Wang Ziyi's "We Can't Fall in Love", Qin Lan Wang Hedi's " Rational Life ", the currently airing " Chi Dao " and the upcoming "Twenty-eight Laws of Love"... are all typical "Sister Dog CP" works.
just found out that behind more and more sister dog CPs, more and more viewers can't get it.
So, is the sister and brother CP really bad?
CP sense is a very mysterious thing
Let's talk about the recently aired "Chi Dao". As a drama adapted from a popular novel,
has a certain fan base of the original novel about the ambiguous pull between coach Rona and athlete Duan Yucheng and the story of mutual growth.
Jin Chen's appearance, temperament, fit body, and the image of her sister who became more popular after "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" were called "Lona Chosen by Heaven" by the producer; and Wang Anyu's image of a sports student rooted in the hearts of the audience is also closely related to the book. The passionate Duan Yucheng has a high degree of overlap.
Well, at least from the perspective of book fans, the images of the two protagonists were considered to be in line with the characters in the book at the time. However, after the broadcast of
, this pair of sister and brother CPs who were optimistic about the audience and the platform in the early stage did not get the crowd they imagined.
's "Never move", "Like a brother and not like a lover", "The sports part is good, and the love part is fast forward", which are the most popular comments by ordinary viewers.
According to the data of Maoyan Professional Edition, "Chi Dao" has the highest popularity ranking on the entire network after its launch. Even if there are hot search battle reports every day, and the topics on the list are constantly on the list, there are several "Rona" when you brush the entertainment list. ” and “Duan Yucheng” are standing guard silently, but the actual popularity is far from enough for this rated project.
Jin Chen, who is in front of the pearls in "We Who Can't Fall in Love", and Wang Anyu, who also interprets the sister and brother CP in "Your Times, My Times", two "sisters and brothers" who are familiar with the sister and brother CP track , why overturned in this "chosen" story? The problem with
is that there is no "pull" between them. Both sides of give people the feeling that they are very clear about each other's cards. Both of them exude a winning temperament of "I can win you sooner or later", but they are not evenly matched. It may be the temperament of the actors themselves, or it may be their understanding of the role.
But love, especially between siblings, is a matter of ambiguity and uncertainty. The difference between 's character settings is destined to be full of self-pulling and hesitation with careful probing and bold expression before it becomes clear, but the determined temperament they show will affect the audience's judgment on this pair of CPs. , , which has no basis and origin, cannot make the audience empathize with .
"It's nothing to watch" and "Anyway, no matter how you refuse, it's a routine." The audience is not curious about the development and storyline of this pair of CPs, and naturally loses the desire to discuss the plot.
But in "We Can't Fall in Love" and " Fly with You in the Wind ", Jin Chen and Wang Anyu's performances are completely different. In
's "We Can't Fall in Love", Jin Chen's "dare" and Wang Ziyi's "naive" combine just right, and the story between them has a certain aggressiveness that makes the audience dizzy. And Wang Anyu, who broke away from the love between siblings, was even more energetic in "Flying with You in the Wind", which also played the role of an athlete. At that time, "Cosmic Song Song CP" with his peers Song Zuer has really attracted many people to this day.
Of course, the success or failure of a work cannot be attributed to the actors alone. While the artist is chasing the trend and joining the "sister and brother CP" camp, the platform and the producer are also blindly chasing the traffic of popular themes and joining the team... Is
more enthusiastic about chasing traffic, or just want to polish a good story ofA firmer heart has become the key to determining the success or failure of a work.
is a sister and brother CP, not a mother-son relationship
The domestic sister and brother CP has a huge momentum, and it should start from the popularity of "The Next One is Happiness" in early 2020, that is, Song Weilong and Song Qian "composed of " The Stars and Songs" CP.
Since then, sisters and brothers in the domestic TV drama market have started blowing out content. For a long time after that, sister and brother CPs have maintained the template of "big flowers with new generation brothers".
has just finished Angelababy and post-00s Lai Kuanlin 's " love should look like ", also post-00s Fan Chengcheng and Lan Yingying 's " Forgotten Time ", Jiang Shuying and Peng Yuchang 's "Ms. 's Law " and the currently airing "Chi Dao" continue this general template without exception. Of course, there was also a very uniform response. From
, you can see that from Qin Lan, Yao Chen to Zhao Liying , Yang Mi , Angelababy, to the most popular first-line female artists in China, they have all stepped into the "sister and brother CP" more or less. "Fan cage, each one seems to be full of gimmicks, but there are very few works that actually make it out of the circle.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to the mysterious "CP sense", the key to the success or failure of the work lies in the story itself.
continues to take "Chi Dao" as an example. The setting of this story is too suspended, which not only fails to bring thinking, but even recognizes the rationality of "privilege" to a certain extent.
As the coach who excavated Duan Yucheng, Luo Na has nothing wrong with her preference for the first athlete she brought. Although competitive sports are all based on performance, her preference and struggle are obviously beyond the reasonable range.
"double standard", "snatch" others' seats in the competition and rationalize, all the rules make way for their great love.
Some would say that the reality may be more brutal.
so what? Is this the reality?
may be just a story for the people in the story, but for the athletes in reality, it is life, ten years of persistence and dedication, not a simple summary of "talent is more important than hard work". What makes
even more puzzling is the upgrade of the concept of "sister" - not only to be a sister, but also to be a mother.
"Do you believe me?"
"Do you still want me to practice?"
"Are you willing to let me go?"
This is Duan Yucheng's rhetorical question to coach Rona several times in the play. . Every time
asks a question, it is a test for Rona - how to hold back and not beat him;
is also a test for the audience - whether to quit the broadcast after the first sentence, or quit the broadcast after listening to a few more sentences.
has such a paragraph in "Patriarchy and Capitalism": Love is actually a mechanism for women to mobilize their own energy and take the husband's purpose as their own, and motherhood is a woman's effort to restrain her self-needs through triggering. Self-sacrifice and sacrificial spirit see the child's growth as a mechanism for their own well-being.
"Your life is yours, I'm just a coach, I don't say anything", "If you think that sports bring you more pain than happiness, then you should stop practicing", this is Rona's voice It is also the voice of the audience.
It is the most basic common sense and cognition that adults pay for their own choices and behaviors. Even a mother cannot pay for all your life decisions, let alone an unconfirmed relationship and a person without any blood connection.
Compared with nibbling on CP, the audience is more involved in dealing with the unpredictable thoughts of "brother" every day, the small emotions that make trouble from time to time, and many naive moments of collapse.
Is life too good to need someone who can find you something every day? For character settings like
, the definition of sister and brother CP has far exceeded the scope of hormonal love that can be explained. The elder sister's strength and age advantage has become a motherhood that tolerates all self-sacrifice, and the younger brother's youthful vigor has become a weak escape, a good healing storyIt became a "depression" story. The
audience can neither empathize with the "intellectual" characters without common sense and thinking, nor will they be immersed in the "intellectual" and suspended plot without any thinking.
is very strange, the story template that has been filmed for two years, the characters and plot not only did not have any staged growth and transformation, but even started to go backwards. What's even more strange about
is that these problems exist not only in the story of "Chi Dao", but also in many stories of domestic dramas. What is
's good sibling CP like?
In recent years, with the rise and progress of female consciousness, the number of female-themed dramas has surged, and the discourse power and narrative perspective of women in stories has also undergone considerable changes.
and the love between siblings, as an important symbol of the rise of female consciousness, is a "speculation" by some creators that women also need to occupy an absolute dominant position in their feelings after gaining the right to speak. Just as they liked "Ba Zong Literature" back then, creators and audiences became obsessed with the setting of strong women and weak men.
is undeniable that such a reversal of roles and perspectives indeed reflects to a large extent that women's growth and perspectives have gained more and more attention, and the image of independent and powerful women has become more and more accepted. Unfortunately, this fascination and attention has only scratched the surface of the problem.
At the beginning, everyone will feel very fresh and like it, but gradually you will find that most of the stories that have been quietly "pushed" have the same setting of "sister and brother". is right, the character homogeneity is serious.
At the same time, many realistic problems are deliberately avoided in the plot, which leads to stories that are not set in ancient costumes and fantasy, revealing 's "vacuum" everywhere.
This is also why, most of the sister and brother love stories in domestic dramas will be unfinished. Because most of the stories only eat sugar, lack the plot layout and the psychological interpretation of the characters, always fall in love with no reason, and desperate for no reason, neither put the characters in reality, nor lack A deeper understanding and discussion of human nature.
It is very important to eat sugar. The ease that the audience wants and the pain points that the marketing wants come from this. But what is more important is whether the telling and grasp of emotional stories can really enter the hearts of the audience, so that the audience can explore the part of the emotions that may not be touched in life through the story.
is like the relationship between sister and brother CP presented in " hears your voice " in the Korean drama "Sister and Brother Love", the teenager is attracted by the brave and determined sister, trying to become a better self. At the same time, it also healed a certain part of my sister's heart. And the elder sister, who has many shortcomings, is neither perfect nor domineering, just like people in reality, after hesitating, struggling, and deliberating, she gradually strengthened her choice. The setting of
"sister and brother" originally only presented a typical love relationship among many social relationships, but the essence of the love relationship will not change, that is, the mutual attraction between people. Too many stories of
are shaping perfect love, celebrating salvation and being saved.
But in fact, people are not perfect. What audiences can't accept are stories of stealing concepts and stereotyped formula templates, not imperfections. The form of love is not only giving help in the snow, but looking up is more relaxed and free than looking up. Learning to write love is also the creator's "top priority".
