I'm chasing a new drama "The Last Romance" recently. Beautiful, interesting, and a little scary.

A story about love and workplace, two women, at first glance is quite cliche, but why do I say scary? After watching the first episode, you decided to chase it? Because the story form is easy, but the core is sharp enough.

Accurately describe a circle phenomenon that we can't see or touch, but we can feel it and it is difficult to cross.

At the beginning of the story, the two lines go hand in hand, and Liu Shishi and Nini play a pair of good girlfriends who grew up together at school.

One is Jiang, whose family is well-off and doesn't know the sufferings of the world. The latter is Zhu Suosuo, a real girl who wants to seize every opportunity to get rid of the life of a sponsor for more than ten years. Although the two girlfriends grew up together and are sisters, the circles of the two girls are different, which automatically adds dramatic tension to the whole story.

First of all, one pursues love and the other escapes it. * * * Why do people of the same age choose so differently? This is not a question of choice, but a question of circles. This is by no means alarmist, let's look at the facts:

They graduated from college together.

Jiang is high flyers of the Department of Architecture, preparing for the exam, and he has had enough to eat and wear since he was a child. When he was in love, he naturally pursued beautiful love and took a fancy to Zhang Anren (Yang Le) at the same school. He is self-motivated and has room for improvement, but his background is really limited. Dad, who is obsessed with the stock market, keeps introducing elites to her, but she just doesn't choose. I believe that love is full of moisture. As long as the feelings are true, money is not a problem.

Zhu Suosuo was abandoned by his mother since he was a child. His father has kept Xiao Suosuo at his uncle's house for more than ten years and sends some living expenses every month. She is old enough to fall in love, but she avoids falling in love. Because it is my aunt's mother's son and her cousin who cares about her. Of course, my aunt raised her for so many years. But do you think such love is acceptable? Accepting yourself becomes a "child bride". But does she have a choice? At least be independent before making a choice. But in Shanghai, where land is precious and elites gather, it is difficult to find a good job that can rent a house.

So for the lock, it doesn't really matter whether the feelings are true or not, but whether there is money or not is the problem. Fortunately, she is not generally beautiful.

Do you see it? If two people are set in this position, there will be a lot of fun. What play? The invisible barrier brought by the circle and the price to pay for crossing this barrier.

Since the barrier is invisible, how to play the play? So I said that the main creator of this play is Niu (the director and screenwriter of my first half life). This circle actually exists in every corner. It's big, it can be as big as your net worth, and this can be packed. Small, can be as small as a meal you can't live without every day. Don't look small, this is really difficult to install.

Needless to say, the host skillfully found this embarrassing occasion, which is also a social activity that China people care about more-eating. Jiang and Zhu Suosuo went to two different dinners, one was a family dinner and the other was a colleague dinner.

Jiang's rich woman (yolanda) holds a banquet in an upscale club, while Jiang's poor student boyfriend doesn't even notice Jiang's father. What he said about working hard and giving happiness is "empty" in jiangxin. He told him bluntly not to shout slogans. Directly sent him off without euphemism, in other words, he is not qualified to eat such a meal.

Present at the dinner were three Chiang family members and an elite young man (Yang Shining) who met menstruation overseas. He happens to be majoring in civil engineering, so he is a teaching assistant at Jiang University and is helping her design a hotel. During the dinner, the elite guy drew a sketch on the napkin casually, and advocated dividing the three rooms and one living room into two and a half suites with a public area in the middle to improve the quality of life and added value.

Aunt put away her napkin carefully.

Previously, Jiang's boyfriend tried his best to make several decent design drawings, and advocated dividing the original three-bedroom and one-bedroom house into four and a half suites, which was enough for nine people and economical. Let's look at my aunt's expression again.

Yes, as designers, their ideas are completely different, or their understanding of customer needs is completely different. The young aunt in the elite circle wants quality and value!

Therefore, this family dinner is also centered on topics such as real estate, pattern, stock market, investment and value. In Jiang's mind, this is "real". These topics are accompanied by elegant background music, quiet dining sound and the crisp sound of crystal cups.

At this moment, in a noisy hot pot restaurant, Zhu Suosuo pretended to be his girlfriend to attend a colleague's party in order to support his cousin who found a job. All present were IT male colleagues with girlfriends, and their eyes lit up when they saw such a beautiful woman with a lock.

And their girlfriends are also colleagues in the IT circle. What they talked about in the meeting was why the code was bugged this afternoon. Accompanied by these work topics are the surrounding voices and the defensive expression of girlfriends on the lock of beauty.

The two tables of rice, the ostentation and extravagance of eating, and the content of conversation quietly show the differences between circles. There is no choice in screenwriter level! If you don't think the contrast is strong enough, the screenwriter then used a family dinner to thoroughly reveal why the circle is not delicious.

Jiang finally took her boyfriend back to Jiang's home for dinner. He wears a clean and tidy suit, has a clean and tidy hairstyle, looks clean and tidy, and speaks politely. Isn't that great?

But before the meal, the difference between a mouth and a circle is obvious!

Facing a table of more than a dozen rich dishes, Zhang Anren said politely that there is no need to prepare such a rich meal for himself. Grandma said she added a lion head.

Jiang also said that this is how he usually eats. Is it embarrassing? In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Anren's mentality or manners. The problem is that he and Jiang are not in the same circle at all.

Don't believe it? Then look, wave after wave.

He watched Jiang drink yellow rice wine and asked, when did you start drinking? This is really concerned, there is nothing wrong with it. Because Jiang doesn't drink at ordinary times. But Jiang said that if you want to eat drunken crabs today, you must drink some yellow wine to drive away the cold. Oh, I want some, too. Are you embarrassed? Perhaps this is blind attention to Zhang Anren, but for Jiang's family, it is a habit, even common sense. Not paying enough attention? Keep watching.

This sumptuous family dinner was prepared by Jiang's aunt. She served the last dish of vegetables on a long plate. Grandma said kindly, is there no disc? How do fish cook with long boards? Jiang was also embarrassed, so he whispered to Zhang Anren that grandma was poor and picky about food.

That's absolutely true! Poverty is true. Compared with wealth, the Chiang family is really average, but it is also true that they are fastidious. As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. From his ancestral home in Fuxing Road, Shanghai, he is also a wealthy family from generation to generation. Therefore, if Jiang wants to ease the embarrassment, it sounds even more embarrassing to Zhang Anren. I added a subtext to my mind: If your family is poor and picky, is it still a life in our family?

To tell the truth, Jiang didn't mean to despise Zhang Anren at all. If he doesn't, what does he want? On the other hand, Zhang Anren, as a young man who works hard to stay in school and teach, can buy a house in the suburbs of Shanghai at a young age. He is civilized, polite and enterprising. He really has no choice. But why get along so twisted?

There is only one answer, you can't touch it, but you can definitely feel the barrier-circle!

The turning point comes from the fact that it's not your choice, and it's really not that easy to cross.

First of all, I want to break through the circle. The hardest thing to break through is my parents! Parents are the infinite starting point of everyone's life and the ceiling of life. In other words, it is difficult for most children to surpass their parents, but it is true. Because children inherit two things from their parents, one is physiological genes, and it is basically impossible to change the fact that they look like you. The other is sociological genes, for example, children will inherit their parents' personality, ways of dealing with people, contacts, circles and so on. This can be changed through the day after tomorrow, such as education. At present, the environment and mechanism in China are particularly good, and nine-year compulsory education has changed the circle of a large part of people.

For example, Jiang's boyfriend Zhang Anren, through his own efforts, has leapt from a possibly poor circle to an intellectual circle. Compared with himself and friends in the same circle, his life has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. He can have his own house and car in Shanghai, and he can associate with a girlfriend who is rich in the circle like Jiang. Later, I guessed that he might become the rival of Wang Man Yongzheng, an elite young man who came back from overseas.

However, the effect of crossing the circle through education will not be particularly great, and you can cross your own circle, but it is generally difficult to leap to a higher circle. Because the effect of education is that your knowledge structure and social genes are no longer completely inherited from your parents, you have more knowledge and skills than your parents, as well as your classmates and alumni. But what it can't do is the education from the circle itself, that is to say, the parents of a certain circle can only teach you the life experience of this circle. For example, the business circle passes on the ups and downs of business to children, and the working class passes on the experience of managing the family diligently to children.

Therefore, Zhang Anren understood why the Jiang family had to eat more than a dozen dishes for an ordinary meal. Undoubtedly, in a sense, the former circle taught children the skills of making money, and the latter circle taught children how to make a living, which were handed down from generation to generation. Can it be the same?

Therefore, this is a universal law. Although the significance of education has changed the circle and its merits are boundless, what cannot be changed is to break through the circle barrier. Let's take Zhang Anren and Wang Yongzheng as an example.

By exposing Wang Yongzheng's violations, Zhang Anren was qualified to stay in school and teach. I think it's no problem at all for most people. First of all, Wang Yongzheng is the first illegal operator, and it is immoral to expose it. Second, from a certain point of view, Zhang Anren, who is struggling from the bottom up, knows that it is not easy to reach the top. For the cynical Wang Yongzheng, this may not be a loss, but for himself, it is a stepping stone across the circle.

But Jiang couldn't understand Zhang Anren's hard-won today, and even thought it was a personality problem. She thinks Zhang Anren is too smart, so she doesn't want to think, if she is not smart, would Zhang Can Anren be today? This is precisely the different perspectives caused by different circles of small life. Therefore, Jiang began to feel guilty about it, and seeing that he could look at it so calmly, his heart would not change. But the fact is, she completely ignores that staying in school to teach is life for Zhang Anren, and it is just an unpleasant thing for Wang Yongzheng. Of course, this difference also comes from the difference between Zhang Anren and Wang Yongzheng.

To put it bluntly, different circles also lead to different trial and error costs. Zhang Anren can't make a mistake. If he is wrong, he may return to his original circle. However, Wang Yongzheng was wrong. He still belongs to his own circle. Therefore, according to this law, I judge that the relationship between Zhang Anren and Jiang will definitely have problems! And there have been some quite obvious signs in the play.

Jiang moved to Zhang Anren's house, and his family was surrounded. Zhang Anren said to make do first, and his friend Zhu Suosuo generously bought basic living furniture.

And put a message to Zhang Anren: I can make do with Zhu Suosuo, but Princess Sun of Jiangnan can't! It's really hard to say, but it's very practical and sincere, because Zhu Suosuo, like Zhang Anren, belongs to a circle that needs hard work. She deeply understands that although she and Jiang are best girlfriends, the circle difference between them is hard to cross. So I also gave this fact to Zhang Anren.

Later, she told Jiang privately that I thought it was true: Zhang Anren had climbed on you, and he would be psychologically unbalanced and suppress you for self-esteem.

It is a special, even an advantage, to see the difference between each other and yourself when you are in love. Once you live together, not necessarily.

Judging from the truth and the law of the circle, what Zhu Suosuo said will definitely happen. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see the following story.
