2022. Looking back on this year, there are many good dramas. The just finished " Bottom Line " and " Tang Dynasty Weird Stories " are all popular. But there is a good drama that cannot be ignored this year-" Genius Basic Law " broadcast in July.
"Basic Law of Genius" is adapted from Chang'er's novel of the same name. Although the TV series has adapted the novel to a certain extent, it basically retains the core of the story.
Traveling through parallel worlds
People who have read novels and TV series will relish the travel structure of this story - it is different from the ancient and modern travel and time and space travel that we have become accustomed to, but the travel between two parallel worlds.
Two parallel worlds that are both similar and different - Strawberry World and Cheese World. The similarity between these two worlds is that the characters in them are the same, the difference is that any decision made by a person living in either world will cause subsequent events in the world he is in to develop according to that decision. Therefore, even though there is a self in both worlds, their experiences, fates, psychology and personalities are different.
Therefore, the male protagonist and the female protagonist traveled from the strawberry world to the cheese world. After crossing, they controlled their own bodies in the cheese world, and changed the original event trajectory in the cheese world according to their own will. At first,
thought it was just one-way travel, but as the plot progressed, people in the cheese world had already traveled to the strawberry world. The people of the two worlds mutually change the event trajectory of the other world, and finally form a perfect closed loop.
But the setting of parallel worlds is not just a gimmick, but to trigger thinking about the meaning of life
Since there are two worlds, there will be one good and one bad. All is well. At this time, since you can travel to control another self, are you willing to stay in that world and not come back, or return to your own world?
Fate is impermanent, if you live again, will your life be complete?
For example, Lao Lin in the play, because he was framed by his friends when he was young, caused a genius to bear the infamy of academic scum all his life. The mediocre life is coming to an end. So, if he was given a choice, would he be willing to go to another world to make up for his shortcomings?
Of course, Lao Lin has already given an answer, he is not willing.
mediocrity and helplessness are also a part of life, and it is a life that truly belongs to oneself. No one can guarantee that the self in the other world will have no regrets. The only thing
can do is to face everything in life and experience it with courage.
Besides, Lao Lin, who seems to be mediocre all his life, has actually acquired the most meaningful things: his love for mathematics and his love for his daughter.
According to Lao Lin's original words, life is mostly meaningless, except for truth and love. Although
is a chicken soup, it is not empty and just floats on the surface. Because the portrayal of the character's life trajectory in the play is complete enough to support the meaning of this sentence.
In comparison, Pei Zhi, another genius in the play, although he is extremely talented, lost his father and wanted to go to the Cheese World to replace Pei Zhi from the Cheese World, and Pei Zhi from the Cheese World fell in love with the Strawberry World. Lin Chaoxi, who wants to replace Pei Zhi in Strawberry World. Although both Pei Zhi gave up in the end, they formed a sharp contrast with the determination of Lao Lin and Lin Chaoxi. This is also the biggest dramatic conflict in the show.
Family affection is the warmest tone in this drama
Although Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi are a couple of CPs in the drama, the weight of love in this drama is not heavy. And family love is the biggest tear-jerking point of the show.
first, the father-daughter relationship between Lao Lin and Lin Chaoxi.
In Strawberry World, father and daughter depended on each other until Lao Lin developed Alzheimer's disease and entered the hospital. Lin Zhaoxi accidentally traveled to the cheese world and met Lao Lin from the cheese world in the cheese world. The affection for the fatherProjected onto Cheese Lao Lin.
Lao Lin in Cheese World is still young, handsome and energetic. The only thing is that Cheese Lao Lin doesn't know that Cheese Lin Chaoxi is his daughter, and the two seem to have nothing to do with each other.
But Strawberry Lin Chaoxi firmly recognizes Cheese Lao Lin as his father.
helped Cheese Lin Chaoxi, who grew up in an orphanage, find his father because of this time of Strawberry Lin Chaoxi's crossing.
Later, until the last episode, we didn't know that in Strawberry World, the reason why Strawberry Lin Chaoxi was born with a father is because Cheese Lao Lin traveled back to Strawberry World many years later and came to the hospital when Lin Chaoxi's mother gave birth , received a daughter.
So, this is the result of two worlds making each other.
When the strawberry forest returned to the strawberry world in the morning and evening to take care of the sick Lao Lin, the two of them laughed and chatted, Lao Lin was sitting alone in front of the window, the sun was hitting his face, that kind of feeling that after a lifetime, even ordinary but worthwhile trip, almost warm to everyone.
Second, the father-son relationship between Pei Zhi and Pei Donglai.
Because Pei Zhi from Strawberry World lost his father, he and Strawberry Lin Chaoxi once again traveled to Cheese World, and met Cheese Father Pei Donglai who did not die in a traffic accident there.
saw that his father was still there, Strawberry Peizhi wanted to stay in the cheese world, but because of the firm opposition of Strawberry Lin Chaoxi, he told Cheese Pei Donglai the secret of their crossing, which led to a showdown between Strawberry Peizhi and Cheese Pei Donglai.
When Cheese Pei Donglai learned that the son in front of him was Strawberry Pei, he was both surprised and frightened, but when he learned that Strawberry Peizhi traveled to the cheese world because Pei Donglai from Strawberry World had passed away, his pity was beyond words.
Even if they are in different worlds, their feelings seem to be connected, and the father who has lost can only rely on another world for comfort.
Although the title of the play is "Basic Law of Genius", mathematics seems to be an advanced topic, but this play is just for ordinary people like us. The real "Basic Law of Genius" is not about how brilliant mathematical deductions and how rigorous calculations are, but how to calmly face the serendipity and uncertainty, helplessness and regrets in life, and how to keep looking forward to the future.
is like Lao Lin. Although he seems to have achieved nothing, he is very clear that "compared to exploring the beauty of the unknown, most of the misfortunes of human beings are no longer important. " And the only important thing is persistence, because persistence is a kind of attitude.
Although this drama has a wonderful time-travel structure, it does not focus on the "traveling feeling" that is often seen in time-travel dramas today. On the contrary, except for the time-travel part, most of the plots of are gentle and eloquent. Come and show the delicate texture of life. For example, the vicissitudes of the old alley, the old old house, the feeling of the sun shining through the window, the daily busyness of Lao Lin, the chatter and the conversation, and so on. The is precisely such a daily detail, which gives a comprehensive portrayal of the characters, so that it can give the greatest attention to the theme of life through the comparison of the two worlds.
But the shortcoming of this drama is that when the story stays in the strawberry world, the plot is too protracted, for example, after Lin Chaoxi and Pei Zhi meet again, the two are very trivial and not close contacts. When the two traveled to the cheese world, they had a fierce conflict because of different ideas about whether to return to the strawberry world, and even rose to the level of framing each other, but when Pei Zhi compromised, the two immediately returned to their romantic relationship. Since love is not the focus of the show, forcing a CP group will not leave a good impression on the audience.
But in any case, in today's TV drama with a single theme, this drama appears like a light, opening another window, giving everyone, all of us who live in the utilitarian and secular world, spiritual comfort. Real success is not about achieving success in the mundane sense, but how to pursue what you love and face everything that happens in life bravely and calmly, including frustration, helplessness and regret.
