I was attracted by a few lines of dialogue in the trailer.

"Why can't you write in your composition that your mother is gentle and beautiful and your father is personable?" "The teacher asked us to make sentences and did not ask us to spread rumors."

"So what if you do well in the exam, so what if you don't do well in the exam?" "If you don't do well in the exam, don't call us mom and dad." -

"Uncle and aunt, please take a look."

A few dialogues between father and son, Zhang Jiayi The embarrassing father, Chen Hao, and the tiger mother appeared, and the audience immediately felt that they were watching their own daily life. The family light comedy flavor is definitely there.

is short-sighted and has some popular products.

Speaking of family life dramas, many people will think of " Little Farewell ", "Little Joy" and " Teenager ", all of which have achieved double harvests in word-of-mouth and ratings.

The family and education topics discussed in the play have triggered heated discussions across the Internet.

At the beginning of 2024, this genre has another strong player - just tonight, "Happy Parents Group" will be launched on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV.

starring Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao.

plus Wang Xiaochen , Zhao Da, Liu Ruilin , Ling Zi, Fang Qingzhuo and other powerful groups.

focuses on parenting education, novice parents, and of course, parent groups.

With this lineup and this theme, the expectations are immediately raised.

Counting on the fingers, the last popular educational-themed family drama was Zhang Jiayi's own "Pi". However, family life dramas in recent years have always sold anxiety and raised the blood pressure of the audience.

When will the audience be able to watch the drama with a smile?

"Happy Parents Group" seems to be the right medicine for domestic family education dramas.

If life is a complicated and difficult test paper, educating children is the most difficult question on the test paper.

So, how can we get this question right?

Don’t wait for tonight, let’s “join the group” now to have a look.

1. Story: The appearance of mythical beasts, family education, and two-way growth of parents and children. This "Parents" story is a bit happy.

As you can tell from the title of the show, "Happy Parents" is a standard family light comedy.

tells the story of the strict mother and loving father group represented by Liu Xiangxiang played by Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao, the strict mother and loving father group represented by Dai Jing, the single-parent divorced group represented by Wang Xiaochen, Tang Xiaowei played by Liu Ruilin, Ma Yingjie, and the new mothers represented by Yang Mingbiao and Jing Tingting. Combined with the original wife's children.

is a story about three groups of very unique families, facing various unexpected situations, and welcoming the new classroom of education and a new starting point in life together with the wonderful children.

Combined with the trailer, the series has at least three highlights.

The first is the "parents group". The biggest highlight of the

drama is undoubtedly the first time a Chinese drama has seriously told the story of the "parent group".

I estimate that many middle-aged viewers will watch the parent group on their mobile phones while watching the show.

Parents who have joined this group all know that this group has always been a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

has competition.

has cooperation.

has combined vertical and horizontal lines.

In short, it is all-encompassing.

Especially the controversy surrounding the "Parents Committee" can be said to have its own topical attributes. Looking at the trailer, it is obvious that the series is aimed at these contents.

Starting from this perspective, domestic family educational dramas have also been able to keep pace with the times in terms of subject matter, and new topics in parent-child two-way growth education have been arranged.

The second is raising children in the new era.

The story arranges three groups of families, but actually explores the same problem - "parent-child relationship".

Although it is a comedy, parent viewers who follow the drama should have resonance with Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao's characters in the drama: one asked if there was a place that sold babies, and

one said that his blood pressure was a bit high.

With the implementation of the double reduction policy, the original plans and arrangements are bound to be adjusted, and the couple has differences in their knowledge and understanding of the policy.In the parent group, Liu Xueguang, an old father who came to help, said that the workload should not be reduced. Some parents questioned academic performance and test results. Dai Jing gave up a high-paying job outside the city and returned to her family to accompany her children as they grew up.

The old problem of raising children has encountered a new era.

Liu Xiangshang and Dai Jing have two children. One of them has made it to the bottom of the class through years of hard work.

A cute baby is invincible. It makes people sigh from the bottom of their hearts: What should we do with our children?

The drama series uses comedy to explain things in simple terms, unfolding a warm "illustrated guide" on raising children.

The third is a middle-aged parent.

In addition to raising children, the series also focuses on parents’ career lines, emotional lines and teacher lines.

For example, the male protagonist played by Zhang Jiayi is a screenwriter. In the past few years, the film and television industry gave ordinary viewers the impression that a star could earn millions a day.

But as a screenwriter at the bottom of the biological chain in the domestic film and television industry, life is far from as glamorous as that of a star. In addition, raising children is not easy, so Zhang Jiayi's sad face is the norm.

Children's studies, conflicts between husband and wife, and work pressure are three big mountains that are coming at you.

This drama breaks the beauty filter and restores the most authentic middle-aged life situation with a relaxed atmosphere.

The story goes through several families, and the story of the middle-aged group portrait unfolds. Whether the core contradiction of raising a child can be resolved determines whether life can continue.

This process contributes strong dramatic tension, but it does not look bloody.

Because as the conflict progresses, we see more than just three pairs of middle-aged parents.

is the bond between contemporary parents and children.

's strong flavor of life makes the plot reflect the reality we live in.

2. Actors: Zhang Jiayi, Chen Hao, starring, with powerful actors + cute kids in charge.

Characters are the soul of a family life drama. Only by shaping the characters well can the drama be brilliant.

Therefore, casting is a top priority for family dramas. If you pick suitable actors, it will produce the effect of 1+1>2.

So, how about the cast of "Happy Parents"?

In first place, Zhang Jiayi

wants to say who among the male actors in Chinese dramas has the best ratings. Zhang Jiayi definitely ranks high.

Moreover, Zhang Jiayi has always had a good eye for selecting scripts, and the quality of the drama series he stars in is generally not bad.

"Snail House" and "Cliff" in the early years were both trump cards in Chinese dramas.

In the past few years, he has continuously participated in the "Mountain and Sea Love", "The Stage", "Young Pi" series, etc., and the ratings and reputation have been win-win.

Although he does not seem to have that many hits in the past two years, the national appeal of this national actor is absolutely unquestionable.

And family life dramas are definitely Zhang Jiayi’s specialty.

In urban dramas, Zhang Jiayi's relaxed acting style often makes the audience feel that this uncle is him in life.

Especially when performing comedy plots, Zhang Jiayi has a more life-like performance rhythm. He acted effortlessly and the audience was already laughing.

In the past, Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni were a golden pair. They would know if they were good or bad as soon as they made a move.

But this time the director chose a national goddess partner for Zhang Jiayi, she is -

second, Chen Hao

This is the second time the two collaborated after 26 years.

Chen Hao became famous in 2001 for his role as the heartthrob in "Pink Girl". Looking back now, this role is not outdated at all, with various charms, famous quotes and insight into people's hearts.

"Who is at the disadvantage in love depends entirely on who loves whom more." What she said was particularly convincing.

In those years, Chen Hao always played great beauties, and he was one of the few actors who played Diao Chan without being criticized by the audience.

But she retired during her peak period and went to teach at a film school. Occasionally, a photo leaked out, making the audience sigh that she is an unbeatable beauty.

It wasn’t until the year before last that she came back to filming, partnering with Huang Xiaoming in the Huang Xuhua chapter of "The Meritorious Service".

This is also the first time she has taken a leading role since her return to the world.

In the drama, she is still in excellent condition, and her performance is still very natural. The only thing that makes people confused is: how did Zhang Jiayi marry the goddess in the drama? I think back to Zhang Jiayi in "Snail House", and I understand.

The third place, Fang Qingzhuo

A family light comedy would not taste right if it did not have a few veteran actors.

Fang Qingzhuo is a veteran actor who has been acting all her life. Not to mention her roles in Zhang Yimou's "Speak Well" and "The My Fair Princess" and other dramas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Her performance in the Spring Festival Gala sketch has already made her The comedy image is well-known to every household.

Watching her use a ruler to order two mythical beasts to stand in the drama, I simply couldn’t agree more.

Fourth place, Wang Xiaochen

Speaking of actors who are "famous in dramas but not famous in dramas", Wang Xiaochen must be on the list. His acting skills are excellent, his looks are nothing to say, and his acting career is tepid.

Speaking of her most popular role, it should be "Mine!" with Zhang Jiayi. P.E. teacher".

Although the couple became comrades in the parent group this time, the audience was relieved to see Wang Xiaochen and Zhang Jiayi in the same frame.

No. 5, Zhao Da

Some actors would like to thank their co-actors, and some would like to thank the director for his discerning eye.

Like Kong Sheng to Zhao Da.

In "Jingjue Ancient City", Kong Sheng let Zhao Da, who is not fat, play the role of "Fat Wang". Apart from his wrong figure, he feels everything is right. When his big white teeth are exposed, he reveals the humor and cleverness of a fat man.

This drama is considered familiar to the audience. In "Dajiang Dahe", he played the role of the righteous brother Xun Jianxiang. He usually wears floral shirts, bell-bottom pants, long hair, and a full sense of humor. The character is out of the circle instantly.

Zhao Da's acting skills can also be seen in this drama. After Xun Jianxiang was jailed and released, his clothes were no longer fashionable and he was no longer sunny. His face became more sad and calm. This is the actor's character shaping ability.

How Zhao Da will play the role of a divorced and reorganized father in a new family this time is certainly worth looking forward to.

It can be seen from the trailer that everyone in the drama is not perfect, but they have their own shining points.

There is no need to dub the lines, and the acting skills do not need to be explosive. It is such real and in-depth characters that make it easier for the audience to empathize.

3. If "Happy Parents Group" wants to "explode", there are still three problems that it has to face.

1. The competition during the Spring Festival is fierce, can it break the circle?

"Happy Parents" has a length of 40 episodes, and it has actually been booked early for this year's Spring Festival.

Spring Festival comedy TV series usually perform well and have the largest audience of the year.

But this drama also has to face similar competition from Zhao Benshan’s “Country Love”.

Several major CCTV dramas, such as "South to North" and "The Case of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty", are likely to have good lineups and quality of dramas.

Although Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao have a pair of ratings aces, for a drama to break through, it depends on its quality.

2. Family comedies are difficult to film, can a director do it?

Whether a light family comedy is good or not depends on the director's ability.

You can see several high-scoring family dramas listed at the beginning, all of which are produced by great directors such as Wang Jun and Zhang Xiaobo.

The screenwriter of "Happy Parents Group" is teacher Ma Guangyuan. His masterpiece "Adolescence and Menopause" is a veteran of family light comedies.

director Li Yafei doesn't have many works, the most recent one is "The Happy Event of Lan Gui".

It can be seen that this director is good at combining family, family, friendship, love with comedy and reversal.

Judging from the lens language and pictures in the trailer of "Happy Parents", the overall feeling is correct.

If the finished film is as good as the trailer, it will definitely be a hit.

3, Happy Parents Group, is there any empathy? There is another key factor in the success or failure of

dramas: empathy.

Especially during this winter vacation, many parents have been tortured by the parent group for a year, and they may not be happy.

Every parent has something to say about educating their children and improving their grades, and they also have their own anxieties.

The hit formula of domestic dramas in the past few years is to endlessly amplify this anxiety. Watching dramas is more tiring than life, and the audience complains and follows the dramas at the same time.

But too many routines don’t work well. There have been only a handful of successful family dramas in the past few years.

Even CCTV’s “Little Man’s Family” received mediocre response.

"Happy Parents" seems to be using comedy to break this routine, and this is already the beginning of success.

But it must make the audience laugh in their hearts.

Respecting the reality of life is the prerequisite for any family drama to gain a high reputation.

Chinese dramas use too many powerful drugs, and over time the audience will become greasy.

A truly good family drama is like a hot hot pot in winter.

It is hot in the mouth, suitable for all ages, and your whole body will feel warm after eating it.

Regardless of education or life, we don’t seek to be vigorous and vigorous, but only seek a steady stream of water.

I hope that Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao can let ordinary people see the full fireworks this time.

What viewers are looking for when following the drama is a true understanding and resonance.

In the final analysis, the popularity of all family life dramas only proves the saying once again:

Art comes from life and is higher than life.
