Since " Ode to Joy " opened the "traffic password" of "her" dramas, urban women's dramas have begun to continuously develop and dig deep into the market segment. In most female-themed dramas, the success of women's careers is always accompanied by men's figures, and the description of emotional dominance is almost on the weak side.
Recently, iQIYI "Limited Crazy Flower Series" " Heart Ripple " has completely integrated women. In the face of life, love and life, women are no longer the prey, but the hunters who take the initiative to attack. . Love in the new year, little milk dog, what about being pretty and murdering, emptiness and loneliness does not exist at all, how can my sister be happy. "Ripple Heart" uses a light comedy to dismantle female topics. Although the storyline is a bit tricky, it is better than being relaxed and happy. Director Liu Ziwei said, "We just have to do the opposite." Behind the seemingly funny things, there is actually a lot of thinking about reality.
There is more than one open mode of love
"Ripple Heart" tells the story of three protagonists in their 20's, 30's and 40's with different personalities who are in the predicament of life. In the face of betrayal, deception and traps, they use sincerity and persistence to break through life The bottleneck, ushered in the highlights of life, and met a better self. The topic in the play seems heavy, but the tone of the whole film is joyful. Director Liu Ziwei said that the source of inspiration for the whole story was discussed together by everyone, "During the writing process of the script, our meeting room was always laughing, because It's a comedy romance film, everyone is relatively relaxed and happy, and this sense of atmosphere has continued into the post-shooting process. The atmosphere of the whole shooting process was also very good. Everyone's desire to create is very strong, and new ideas are constantly emerging. ”
Three women of different ages gathered together and staged three love stories, presenting a multi-dimensional picture of women’s lives. Zhang Fan, who is 40+, is a typical strong woman in the workplace. She has experienced a failed marriage and focused on work. Once in France, she accidentally met a colleague's son, so she started a sister-in-law relationship; 30+ Pan Xiaochen has been with her boyfriend for 7 years. For a long time, I chose the insurance industry that earns more money for my boyfriend to go to school, and I wanted to marry her boyfriend wholeheartedly. Not only was she calculated by her boyfriend, but she was also forced to cooperate with the stage of "derailment at public expense"; 20+ Luo Xiaoxiao was in love and brain and Jumping horizontally between sobriety, back and forth between the two brothers. The setting of
of "grabbing the horse" makes "Ripple Heart" clearly recognizable compared with other female group portrait dramas on the market. Perhaps it is precisely because this is a non-traditional women's drama that director Liu Ziwei has more room to play when creating, "Because this drama is not a realistic drama, we will be a little bolder in presentation. Why do female group portraits have to discuss some so-called hot topics? Why is the love open mode restricted by age? As a 12-episode short drama, the stylization of "Ripple Heart" is the biggest highlight."
The core of reality is wrapped under
Although "Ripple Heart" attracts audiences with its horse-grabbing and funny shell, it actually hides the discussion of current practical problems. For example, the so-called anxiety comes entirely from oneself, guilt is a cheap emotion, and nothing is as important as happiness, etc. These discussions of reality allow the audience to reflect on their own state while watching the show.
Although the play is dominated by women, it is at a neutral level in the discussion of emotional issues, and does not deliberately favor women because of gender dominance. "There is no bias in the development of all things, it is just a matter of fact. After all, there is never an absolute standard answer about how a good couple gets along, but one thing is certain, that is, it is difficult to have an absolutely perfect couple getting along with each other in the world. "
As for the portrayal of the three women, director Liu Ziwei hopes that every woman is three-dimensional and multi-faceted." For example, Zhang Fan played by Qin Lan, , seems to be a successful and mature big sister, but in fact she also has a lot of The side of a girl's heart; Lan Yingying plays Pan Xiaochen, who seems to be very hardworking and motivated.The side of Luo Xiaoxiao, played by Zheng He Huizi , looks like a sweet girl who is a little bird, but she also has a cool girl side. "
12 episodes, three story lines, all characters and main scenes have been enlarged three times, Liu Ziwei feels as if she has made three dramas. In the choice of actors, she trusts one's intuition. Before starting the movie, although she saw three waves Actors, but when choosing the three heroines, they are very clear and firm, "Qin Lan, Lan Yingying , Zheng He Huizi are our first choices. Qin Lan looks gentle, beautiful and generous on the outside. In fact, she also has a cute and interesting side in private. These qualities are also perfectly presented in the play. I think Lan Yingying fits Pan Xiaochen quite well, and Huizi is very similar to Luo Xiaoxiao. These three characters will make people feel that they are very similar to them before, but when the audience looks at them, they will feel that they are completely different from before. "
Women's dramas can be diverse
Hearing the name Liu Ziwei, the first thing that makes everyone think of her last drama " White Moonlight ", which is also a female-themed work, was harvested at that time. Good word of mouth and broadcast results. Like the creation method of "Ripple Heart", Liu Ziwei said that the script of "White Moonlight" was discussed with everyone, and then a complete script was slowly formed, and the filming was finally completed. Meet the audience. The creative team of "White Moonlight" is almost all women, including producers, directors, screenwriters, and even editing directors in the later stages. "The production team of "Ripple Heart" is similar to "White Moonlight", so There is a high probability that I may be more suitable for working with women. "Liu Ziwei said.
In fact, before "White Moonlight", Liu Ziwei also had a work, that is "My Heart Excited". The film was nominated for the Best Feature Film Award at the FIRST Youth Film Festival. From "My Heart Excited" "From "White Moonlight" to "Ripple Heart", Liu Ziwei's three current works are all from a female perspective, but the three works have three completely different styles, literary films, suspense films, and light comedies. In terms of style , Liu Ziwei said that he never thought of framing himself in one genre, "I chose female themes just because I was originally a woman and would be better at this kind of themes. I think women's themes can be expressed in a variety of ways, and I have always wanted to. To try this innovative romantic light comedy, I wanted to try it when I was in "White Moonlight", and "Ripple Heart" made my wish come true, so the whole shooting process was very happy. "
's bright picture colors, jazz -style soundtrack, "Ripple Heart" mobilizes the audience with sight and hearing at the beginning, but the intangible love story makes "Ripple Heart" full of a touch of suspension In the face of online comments such as "catching horses, dog blood", Liu Ziwei said that he can fully accept it, "It's interesting to watch, and the people watching are happy, it's fine, I have never felt that dog blood is a derogatory meaning, a drama, how come Can you conceptualize it in one word? "
Driven by the compact plot, "Ripple Heart" soon ushered in the finale. After "Ripple Heart", iQiyi's "Limited Crazy Flower Series" has three more dramas to be broadcast, namely "Splendid Turning", a single mother's emotional healing, "Grandma's New World", which shows elderly women escaping from family life, and "Long Live Women", which focuses on the medical beauty industry, show the diversity of contemporary women from different perspectives. It can bring more different feelings to the audience.
