In the past two years, there has been a "hard nut" in domestic dramas that has become increasingly difficult to crack.
That’s it—urban workplace drama.
Once upon a time, urban workplace dramas were also a trump card in Chinese dramas. Dramas such as "Ordinary Glory", "Ideal City", " An Jia " have all achieved good results.
However, in the past two years, this theme has repeatedly failed.
The dramas such as "City within the City", "Dream City", and "Red Hot" aired this year have ungrounded plots and a lot of logical errors. In the end, the professionalism and rigor of the filming are not achieved. Only the core of the idol drama is left.
So, who can save the urban workplace drama?
's new drama "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" (formerly known as "A Good Life") has recently been officially announced and the first trailer has been released. The drama has a strong cast, a strong lineup, and a powerful cast.
After watching the trailer, I predicted: This will be a hit drama!
A strong team creates an entrepreneurial drama
"Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" tells the story of Hu Manli (played by Sun Li), an insurance practitioner, who was slandered by his competitors and both his career and marriage went bankrupt.
Hu Manli, who encountered a trough in his life, put himself in good spirits and set sail again. He returned confidently and started a fierce workplace "fight" with his former rival Xue Xiaozhou (Dong Zijian). In the end, they made peace with each other and started a business together.
In my opinion, there are two highlights in the plot of this drama that cannot be ignored.
First, the "new" meaning in the workplace.
This "new" font now has two aspects.
The first aspect is the "new" character design.
In the new drama, the heroine Hu Manli was once a gold medal salesperson, also known as a "worker". After being framed by her opponent, she decided to start her own business.
The male protagonist Xue Xiaozhou is a down-and-out rich second generation. Not only is he young, he has not experienced much "beating" from society, and he also has the image of a "stupid young man" in the workplace.
I have watched too many workplace dramas about male bosses and female employees. This kind of "two strong and two weak" combination of workers is really interesting.
The second is the plot "new".
Judging from the trailer, the male and female protagonists were competitors in the early stage, and they started a "life or death" fight in the insurance industry.
However, in the end, Hu Manli, a gold medal salesman who has been in the insurance industry for many years, was knocked over by Xue Xiaozhou, a clerk. Can you bear this tone?
can.
The first thing Hu Manli did when he returned to work was to recruit Xue Xiaozhou, a man with great potential, to start a business together. It was quite interesting for this pair of happy enemies to join forces to start a business.
Second, the story has a brisk pace.
For many viewers, the fundamental reason why they are unwilling to watch this type of drama is because they are worried that the plot is too boring.
However, the plot design of the play takes into account the audience's perception. The plot does not deliberately create anxiety. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is relaxed, funny and enjoyable.
At the same time, the biggest feature of the love drama in this drama is that it combines urban love with dreams and the workplace.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists is a popular sibling relationship at the moment. The two have similar interests. Even though there is an age difference, they are still attracted to each other during the process of getting along.
The story is briskly paced and rich in content, including overt and covert struggles in the workplace, as well as the growth history of small employees. What is ultimately drawn is a workplace entrepreneurship epic full of urban fireworks.
However, what is really reassuring is the extraordinary strength of the show’s creative team.
director Wang Jun, his latest work is " Rose Story " which has received huge ratings and reputation. In addition, he directed " Xiao Huanxi " and "Xiao Min's Family", which have achieved both popularity and reputation. The ruthless drama.
With such a gold medal director at the helm, the quality of this new film "39 Twenty-Eight" is stable.
Da Qingyi is in charge, and the cast is amazing.
If urban dramas want to be recognized by the audience, a strong cast is also indispensable, and the director of "39 Twenty-Eight" has two brushes in casting, and the actors are the best. Can act.
ranked first, Sun Li.
There are countless representative works of Tsing Yi Sun Li, and I don’t need to explain her acting skills to the audience. In
's new drama, she will play Hu Manli, an insurance practitioner. From the trough of life to shining brightly again, this character's shining points are indispensable.
Judging from the trailer, Sun Li is in quite full form in the new drama, with shoulder-length short hair, exquisite makeup, and a single look that is full of temptation.
speaks carelessly, has a cheerful and fiery personality, and his performance reveals a sense of relaxation, blending into the character. It seems that Sun Li is shaping up to be a classic character again.
ranked second, Myolie Wu .
Myolie Wu has a profound foundation and can become the mainstay of TVB. One can imagine her strength. The new drama is the second collaboration between Myolie Wu and Sun Li after " That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full".
In the new drama, Myolie Wu plays Qiu Lisu. In the trailer of
, she has exquisite makeup, looks quite capable with short hair, and her smile reveals a sinister aura unique to a villain. It is said that this character and the heroine are not only competitors, but also love rivals. It seems that there will be a good show. .
The third place is Chen Yao.
Chen Yao's role as Bai Xiaohe in "The Story of a Rose" is impressive. Her appearance is light and elegant, with an elegant bookish aroma.
Chen Yao's acting skills are natural and agile. In the new drama, she plays Wu Ya. Her appearance in the trailer of
reminds people of Bai Xiaohe. Her smile is gentle and moving. It seems that she is another gentle and good girl. We can't help but look forward to how she will perform.
I am not worried that Chen Yao will not act well, I am just worried that she will act too well and steal the limelight from the protagonists.
ranked fourth, Liu Jun.
Liu Jun is an old acquaintance of the audience. This actor has a wide range of acting skills. He can be both good and bad, and his acting skills are also in works such as "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin", " Qiao's Children " reflected in.
According to Liu Jun's image characteristics and acting style, the role he will portray in this new drama should be like a business tycoon, so I can't wait to see it.
fifth place, Dong Zijian.
can cooperate with Noon Sunshine in the " Dajiang Dahe " trilogy. Dong Zijian's strength cannot be underestimated. In
's new drama, Dong Zijian will play the 28-year-old Xue Xiaozhou. The character's age is not much different from his own. In the trailer, he smiles sideways, showing a silly energy.
After putting on a suit, he looks elegant and elegant, giving people a sense of familiarity as a "little puppy" in the workplace. I wonder what kind of sparks he will create with Sun Li in the new drama? I can’t help but want to see the feature film soon!
In addition, Tong Lei, Ye Qing, Gao Xin, Feng Lei and other powerful actors will play important roles in the drama. This workplace drama is so exciting.
Conclusion
Although audiences love to watch workplace dramas, it is not that well-made workplace dramas can sweep the ratings.
And those love dramas disguised as workplaces have gradually been abandoned by the audience in recent years.
What kind of workplace drama can be successful? The answer is: a good-looking and real workplace drama.
The most scarce thing in urban dramas nowadays is the texture of life, which requires delicate brushstrokes to construct.
However, if the filming is too professional, the audience will not like to see it. Compared with the overly realistic industry details, what the audience wants to see more is ordinary workplace life.
This is obviously the path "Thirty-Nine Twenty-Eight" is going to take.
The play not only shows the growth of "newbies" in the workplace, but also captures the career and emotional life that working people may encounter through the workplace problems they encounter.
allows young people in different growth environments, working environments, and living environments to find the "greatest common denominator" that resonates.
So, are you looking forward to the broadcast of this drama?
