It still focuses on the story of middle-aged men, but it breaks the popularity of domestic dramas everywhere. Uncle fell in love with a young girl? The tone and love line also try to downplay Marisu's feelings.
The three male hosts in the play all have their own families. Although they all have marital problems, at least two of them will not have emotional entanglements with the female host from the previous plot and get out of the complicated dog-blood relationship routine.
What can the story of a middle-aged man without all kinds of love lines say? "If" focuses on transformation.
Bai Zhiyong, played by Jin Dong, was forced to divorce by his wife on the grounds that after more than ten years of repressed marriage, she found that she could no longer stand living with her husband who had completely different hobbies and personalities.
Li Naiwen's wife, the blue sky fool, cheated on her feelings and asked for a divorce. Wearing a green hat on his head, his marriage broke down, and he was struggling, unable to bear the anger of betrayal and worried that his parents and son would be hurt.
Huang Jiuheng, played by Calvin, accidentally discovers that his daughter who loves 1 1 year is not his own. The sudden change of stepfather made him very painful, but he couldn't blame his wife who didn't deliberately cheat.
The unfortunate experience of the three people in their marriage made them very collapsed, unable to face the present life. Bai Zhiyong, who was rambling, even lost his job because of drinking after divorce.
The intention of the story is also unfolded. Let them suffer a heavy blow from the beginning, not the end of the marriage now, but let them have a new understanding of themselves and face the beginning of the marriage problem.
After the blow, they need a chance to change, and this chance to change is to meet.
Originally, the three male hosts in the play didn't know each other, but because of a healing trip abroad, they became good buddies and worked with the tour guide. Mind the teacher? Jiang Xiaomei met each other and helped each other to complete their transformation in the fourth period.
Unfortunately, good ideas are not well presented, and the plot of this work obviously can't keep up with the core of the story.
The surviving chicken soup
The more stewed the chicken soup, the more fragrant it is, but it is boring if it is too thick. Is the plot of If a bowl? Chicken soup? Truth is everywhere.
Bai Zhiyong loves brains as much as actor Jin Dong? Chicken soup? Whether good or bad, life or emotion, oneself or others, can tell a big truth.
He will comfort Lan and Huang with facts, and he can also sprinkle some feelings on Jiang Xiaomei, but if you think Bai Zhiyong is the only chicken soup pie in this play, you are wrong.
This TV series, everyone is good at it? Chicken soup? .
What did these three people get together to talk about? Chicken soup? ;
Three men and women are still talking? Chicken soup? ;
Paired random combination is a game? Chicken soup? Competition;
Even the role of individual combat can tell a great truth;
Even if you meet a police uncle, chicken soup? People can also talk about it. The lines of the whole play are like pieces of chicken soup, but it's a pity to abandon them and get tired of listening to them.
Some viewers who are familiar with Jindong may be surprised. Why does he always take on the role of preaching? The first half of my life, Mr. Love and so on. What is his role? Mr. Chicken Soup? .
In addition, Jin Dong loves to share chicken soup in her life. Many people think that this is his deliberate choice. However, it is Jin Dong's character to love chicken soup in life, and many characters collide? Chicken soup? This setting is not his problem.
Looking through the list of Jin Dong's works, you will find that he has never played the same screenwriter or director's works repeatedly in the past three years. The similarity of these roles is completely the status quo of the industry.
Because our screenwriters love to let middle-aged men preach the truth so much that they don't care about their fit with their roles and careers, or that all 40+ men in their imagination are like this.
It is undeniable that there are indeed many middle-aged men who love to express their feelings about life with truth, but the screen always digs this feature and presents it, which is one-sided and not true enough.
And the unreality of this play goes far beyond? Chicken soup? .
Can't catch up with the earth's atmosphere
A work about life wants the audience to feel * * *, and setting vivid grounding gas is the key, but many characters in If are somewhat divided.
Bai Zhiyong is in the mouth of himself and his ex-wife? Love to play, regardless of home, no responsibility? Living with such a man is really a very unbearable thing.
Bai Zhiyong's sense of irresponsibility, except for his willful resignation, is basically not much presented. On the contrary, it gives the audience the impression that he is an optimistic and casual big boy, and he is sincere and enthusiastic about getting along with two good friends.
Playing is more interesting. When three old people were looking for change, Bai Zhiyong did it? Playing tricks? They are quite naive, and there is no middle-aged player at all.
A stronger sense of division lies in several female characters in the play. Huang Jiuheng's wife Lin Xiang made him happy as a father 1 1 year. Although she didn't mean it, her family crisis was caused by her carelessness, and her pain should be no less than Huang Jiuheng's.
However, in addition to indirect guilt, Lin Xiang spent most of her time discussing when Huang Jiuheng could come out of the shadows. It seems that the problem between the two people is more because of Huang Jiuheng. Melodramatic? .
Her reaction didn't seem to make her husband happy as a father, but to blame her kind wife for her accident. It is more like being deliberately arranged to point out the existence of Huang Jiuheng's ideological problems.
The heroine Jiang Xiaomei is also a mystery. She is a slash youth, working as both a tour guide and a bar owner, not to mention the difference between the two professions. Different aspects of her personality are very different.
In front of friends, she is an intimate elder sister;
Turn around, she is a mysterious retired elder sister, and gangsters want to sell their faces;
What about now? Husband? In front of her, she became a little sheep that was bullied by others. Almost at the sight of each other, she couldn't help showing a weak look. Every aspect of her personality has its own role in promoting the plot, but it is difficult to stand.
From the story introduction, Jiang Xiaomei is a tragic figure, but no matter what kind of tragedy, it is difficult for her to split into three different personalities and get logical self-consistency.
Objectively speaking, these roles are like tool people with multiple responsibilities.
When they need to find problems, they are spiritual teachers. When they need to deal with conflicts, their boyfriends or girlfriends are bursting with strength. When they need it, they are directly scum. When they need them to regret, they immediately begin to regret.
Unrealistic people make it difficult for the audience to find a sense of * * * from the characters. At least none of the three wives in the play can make the audience sympathize. It makes it difficult for the audience to understand the basis for the three husbands to find their own problems.
An untenable story
In addition to human design, the story of "If" is also very rigid, without the realism of middle-aged men, only the history of rebellious teenagers.
After marriage, Bai Zhiyong suggested that they should? Fly? How can I fly if I want to break my original self?
Take part in performance art, doodle indoors and dress up? Strange clothes? Dye with colored hair ......
I believe that netizens who have never seen the drama can already understand why Bai Zhiyong was mentioned in the previous seven sentences. Play? It's naive. These three people either took the script of "Twenty Don't Confuse" by mistake or adapted it from the stories of three older fast girls.
By the way, in the play? Strange clothes? Actually, it's not as exaggerated as the character said. So the service and the director are right? Strange clothes? I knew him in the 1980s.
It is also the life and distress of middle-aged men. The Korean drama "Gentleman's Character" is much richer in depiction. Each of the four men's personalities and problems can be logically self-consistent, and each problem is the same but different.
The four actors in this play all face the same emotional problems, and each problem is tailored for them.
The bachelor is faced with his overly critical personality, the top ten good men are faced with the insecurity of their girlfriends, the playboy is faced with how to escape the punishment of his wife, and the widowed man is faced with the insecurity of starting a new relationship.
The perfect combination of human design and story not only makes the audience feel good, but also makes the story lively and interesting.
However, the marriage problems of the three men in If are similar, and the other transformations they need are similar, which makes the whole story seem too dull.
In fact, the lineup and conception of If is really excellent, and Lejin is gradually formed through many cooperations with Li Naiwen and Calvin? Strength three musketeers? The perception, they are not short of acting skills.
There is no shortage of discussion about the story of middle-aged men. There are too many bright spots to explore, the old-fashioned middle-aged crisis, children's education, emotional repair and even the courage to start again, and middle-aged people enrich the wonderful world.
If you want to shoot a good story, the screenwriter needs to get out of the fixed thinking of the middle-aged story on the screen and look for artistic sublimation from a more real social side. At least, you should make the story stand up, make the lines sound, and make people feel connected with the atmosphere.
Otherwise, it will only waste the excellent lineup and good ideas again.
