Consultant of a famous headhunting company, a highly praised professional woman.
is a resolute workaholic with terrifying performance commissions.
Lin Chenxi (played by Xu Weining) , her everything is so perfect, the milky white marble statue that cannot be desecrated in the eyes of outsiders, delicate but cold.
But if the impression of her is limited to this, it is only a fantasy for professional women, a longing full of sugar water bubbles, not a story about women exuding stable temperature.
What kind of plot can be regarded as "her" story? "She and Her She" gives its own answer.
is directed by Zhuo Li, written by Wen Yufang, starring Xu Weining, Li Chengbin , Jia Jingwen , Wu Kangren , etc. "She and Her She" will be launched on Netflix on October 28, 2022.
The play tells the story of a strong woman in the workplace, Lin Chenxi, who wakes up in a car accident and enters a dislocated parallel time and space. Li Haoming, who was supposed to be her boyfriend, has become a police officer. Chen Yiwen ) The case of 's murder, and as the truth of the case surfaced, there is also the truth of this bizarre world, and the past that he almost buried in his memory...
"She and Her She" ", in the title of the play, there are three consecutive "shes" with unknown references, which do not represent a figurative character that has not appeared, but unfolds with this bizarre story-
Countless time points, countless fork in the road , the stranger who passed by, is also the "she" who suffered the pain of their own lives in the world.
(The following content contains some spoilers, please read carefully) showing high pressure.
Lin Chenxi is only one step away from the company's partner, but the airborne arrival of Du Junru (played by Wu Kangren) , a relative of the company boss, not only disrupted her career planning, but also dragged into the whirlpool of workplace sexual harassment because of this hypocrite.
repeatedly succeeded, Du Junru even tried to rape Lin Chenxi in the late-night company, Lin Chenxi drove away after resisting and injured him, but unfortunately suffered a car accident... She is a natural actress and the focus of everyone's attention, but does this mean that she will have a more fortunate outcome when faced with a long-term disease that belongs to women?
was sexually harassed by a married colleague, and all malicious eyes fell on her; she worked hard and wanted to be promoted to a partner, but the boss had already voted her down because of her gender; tried to change jobs but was told that she must be married before Come to work, because she is young and beautiful, she will bring "unnecessary trouble" to the company.
blurring the seriousness of gender-based violence with emotional issues is the root of many tragedies , from the very beginning, everyone looked at Lin Chenxi not as an attitude towards serious events, but a condescending attitudeunder "moral ridicule".
And more sadly, "She and Her She" is a drama in which all women "have and low fever ".
spreads out with Lin Chenxi as the origin, regardless of age or occupation, women have a morbid low fever flowing.
does not have Lin Chenxi's excellent ordinary office worker Chen Zhiling (played by Li Peiyu) , she is held by a magnifying glass all the time, restricting her clothing, makeup, and even the height of her high heels, working as a secretary as a cleaner.
Yang Jiaying ( Wen Zhenling ), who has lived like a princess since childhood, is richer than Lin Chenxi, and marriage is regarded as a bargaining chip for business cooperation. , to gain more bargaining chips for his family and career, and he has not escaped the bad luck of being filmed by his boyfriend to spread indecent videos.
Xu Weining mentioned in an interview that he speculates on Lin Chenxi's role: "I have to make myself feel hungry and uncomfortable until I leave this role." It is the focus of "She and Her She".
Lin Chenxi endured Du Junru's harassment and slander, not only for her own future and peace of mind, but to prove her innocence, which itself is a long and painful process for women.
"She and Her" has a kind of "suffering" narrative rhythm from the first episode. Du Junru's progress and Lin Chenxi's silence and forbearance are almost insoluble knots. The relationship between crime and preventing crime The cost gap is too huge, men only need to put down their hands, while women not only have to defend themselves, but also have to produce strong evidence, but also bear huge pressure on morality and ethics.
clearly echoes what happened to Yang Jiaying. As a complex character who is both guilty and jealous of Lin Chenxi, she enjoys the subtle pleasure of watching the life of the arrogant girl "breaks and can't be repaired", but In the negative whirlpool of indecent videos circulating, she showed the same collapse and despair as Lin Chenxi.
——In the face of such a heavy topic, social status, family background, everything has no value to discuss, "she" is just her, and there will be no difference.
What's interesting is that compared to Lin Chenxi and Yang Jiaying who are experiencing this injustice in silence, their mutual friend Chen Zhiling is standing in a relatively stable position, and has started this story with men who also endure this kind of workplace harassment. The most direct discussion in the play:
The screenwriter has set up a subtle, young and beautiful ordinary male employee without any background, not so much to highlight that this workplace violence is a gender-neutral hazard, more precisely It should show the irresistible weakness of human nature in the face of this poisonous candy.
But after repeated compromises, someone will ask:
Audience: Boys in the audience
"She and Her She", an absolute female perspective, but cannot ignore the existence of every male.
from the car accident, Lin ChenXi spent nearly four episodes living in a chaotic parallel time and space.
's deceased father and younger brother came back to life, and the broken best friend is as good as ever. She doesn't have the tide of work pressure, just an ordinary teacher.
This is a peaceful and healing world, but there is no one, in that world, her boyfriend Li Haoming (played by Li Chengbin) .
Or, in this world, he is the police officer Xiao Liu who is investigating the death of his high school teacher.
Du Junru is the pain that Lin Chenxi is facing right now, but Xie Zhizhong, the high school teacher she keeps silent about, is the beginning of the nightmare of her life.
is a physics and chemistry teacher who is irreproachable from his teaching level to how he behaves in the world. He offers remedial classes for students during holidays, and even prepares to pay college tuition for his classmate Yan Shenghua (played by Jia Jingwen) , who is from a poor family.
, like Du Junru, has a bright appearance.
But in fact, he used his identity to rape two students, Yan Shenghua and Lin Chenxi.
However, self-examination has almost become an inevitable bridge after such a tragedy - Xie Zhizhong's wife is almost defending her husband in a shameless manner. Suppress these two underage children with victim guilt theory.
Morality is a constraint for good people, but for the wicked, it can sometimes be the key to escape.
everyone's reaction is almost the same: hide, make up lies, make big things small.
After Lin Chenxi woke up from a car accident and entered this strange world, everyone carefully lied and performed in front of her, but not all to protect her fragile emotions.
Some people are trying to avoid their negligence, some people are unwilling to admit their betrayal, and some people are maintaining a ridiculous illusion...
As the plot unfolds one by one, even this peaceful town is just a "lie" in the end.
The car accident, the break with the mother, the death of the father and the younger brother, the murder of the teacher with the beastly attire, the visit of the boyfriend in college, and the peaceful life of the family are all fake.
This small town is the world that Lin Chenxi dissociated from, a part of her soul stuck in the past and unable to move forward.
Dissociative disorder, which develops into a mental disorder due to severe psychological trauma caused by sexual assault during adolescence, with loss of certain memories, emotional separation, blurred sense of identity, and unrealistic views of people and things around them, etc. symptom. (Quoted from Douban)
In this world, the male audience who once admired her under the stage in memory took to the stage one by one.
Xie Zhizhong, who was still alive in reality, died in the sanatorium in the most miserable manner; his father, who regretted his death, persisted in avenging himself in this world, and tried to murder Xie Zhizhong again and again; his younger brother used his life to protect his sister and heal her when she was in high school The trauma left behind; the ex-boyfriend who couldn't bear Lin Chenxi and fled came back from abroad to accompany her tenderly.
Lin Chenxi's dissociated world seems to be a subconscious compensation for himself, bringing back all the untraceable past events. YesAn act of hindsight.
"I once read an article that said an animal's instinctive response to being attacked is to attack, run away, and then stand still. We were all too young at the time, and we were all terrified, so we couldn't react."
Her It is a small beast who has been frightened for many years, so that he uses his attacks to hurt people around him, and he also avoids harm.
As a result, Lin Chenxi's condition repeated, repeatedly entering this dislocated time and space, and using this morbid and empty comfort to heal.
Lin Chenxi needs a father who dares to stand out for her, not a father who tolerates reconciliation and reprimands her nonsense. She also needs to pursue the truth, comfort herself, and trust her police officer Xiao Liu.
's dissociated world projected her emptiness in reality and her most anticipated way of healing.
But the car accident once again connected the two worlds, and the connection here is no longer the sudden onset of the past, but a semi-conscious form into a dissociated world. Constructing a perfect ending in an illusory world cannot prevent the damage from continuing. Lin Chenxi and Yan Shenghua, who never walked out of the shadow of high school, are still enduring the trauma of gender-based violence when they grow up.
How can the past not matter? But the past is also the past that must go out.
In Lin Chenxi's dissociation world, she projected her boyfriend Li Haoming into the nightmare of the year, the only police officer Liu who comforted her.
The dissociated world cannot be maintained forever. Even in a fictional world, harm will follow. When the dream comes to an end, Lin Chenxi and countless silent "shes" must make a new choice.
"We can't just give up trying to win just because we've lost so much in the past 100 years."
