I won 5 runner-ups in 5 days after being online. Yao Chen’s new drama actually made me watch 10 episodes in one go. I’m obsessed.
Speaking of Lunar New Year comedies, you may think of Mainland China's first Lunar New Year movie "Party A and Party B" directed by Feng Xiaogang;
From Wang Jing's "Macau" and Stephen Chow's From "Mermaid" to Tang Jili's "Kung Fu Yoga" to Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" and Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown", the top spot in Chinese New Year comedies has gradually returned to the hands of mainland directors.
And this time, the country’s first New Year light comedy also meets us, it is:
This drama has ranked second in ratings since its launch, and it has been ranked second for 5 consecutive days. It is very gratifying to firmly rank as the runner-up in popularity of TV series.
Many netizens have given positive reviews:
So, what kind of drama can be called a New Year light comedy?
We see that the new drama has two qualities of a New Year light comedy.
The play is directed by Yao Xiaofeng, who has directed "Big Husband", "Little Husband" and "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", and brings together a number of leading actors from domestic acting schools:
Since " Yao Chen, who is well-known for "Wulin Gaiden", plays opposite Bai Yu, who has performed brilliantly in online dramas such as "The Soul" and "The Silent Truth". Why do these two people feel familiar?
Oops, aren't these Wu Yuejuan and Ding Shijun from "Mountains and Seas"!
From "The Beneficiary" and "The Big Winner" to the upcoming "Auspicious Ruyi", Dapeng's directing and acting skills have gradually been recognized. This time he will star in "The Disciple" and "Wushuang" etc. Many high-reputation works have collaborated with the stunning goddess Zhang Jingchu.
In addition, there are Chen Xiaoyi and Hu Jun who are very popular among the people. Whether it is Gao Ye, Zhang Tong, or actors such as Zheng Yunlong, Zhu Yan Manzi, Jiang Zixin, Kang Keren, etc., they are all relatively familiar to everyone. face.
It is worth mentioning that in the play, this is also the work of Xie Yuan, who won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with "The King of Chess", during his lifetime, and once again commemorate him.
From the National Day "My Motherland and Me" to the New Year's Eve "Beloved", the platter-style movie has its own family-friendly attributes, and the new drama will focus on four groups of characters and use multiple parallel lines. way to tell the story.
The timeline of the play is set during the Spring Festival. Yao Chen, Dapeng, Hu Jun, etc. all came to the "True Love Resort" in Sanya, Hainan, and a series of stories happened.
As can be seen from the name of the resort, this drama mainly focuses on the development of love between several characters. It seems like a romantic comedy that young talents love to watch?
No, it can actually arouse the excitement of three generations of people, old, middle and young, and bring the characteristics of family fun to the extreme.
Why do you say that?
Let’s start with the three pairs of relationships.
(To avoid confusion, actor names are used instead of character names below.)
As a celebrity agent, Yao Chen bribes fans to pick up people at the airport, makes drafts, and reads hot searches. When it comes to preparing for the concert, he is always worried about the development of his artist Zheng Yunlong.
However, after 10 years of separation and reunion, the two went from being unknown to being famous today. During a concert, Yao Chen, who thought he would propose to him, discovered that Zheng Yunlong’s The object of marriage proposal was another woman, Zhu Yan Manzi.
Memories like "I have spent so many years of my youth for you" came to mind. The drunk Yao Chen met the resort staff Bai Yu. She was so drunk that she pulled Bai Yu to have sex with her. A series of crazy things.
It was a shameful moment for both of them.
From shoulder-carrying and princess-hugging boyfriend strength, to delivering porridge and making fried dough sticks and tofu, whether it’s hugging each other in a water park or driving an electric car through the night, Yao Chen and Bai Yu have taken on the entire task. The romance of the drama.
Of course, Bai Yu, who said "it's not certain who will push down whom", and Yao Chen's "love at the end of the year" is not just a romance like a domineering president.
The girlish Yao Chen and the gentle and considerate Bai Yu are no longer the mature ladies we see in many dramas who finally part ways with the naive little puppy. They can be called "siblings and brothers". A model of "love".
Dapeng and his family came to Sanya to celebrate the New Year. In order to let their elders have a good New Year, the divorced Dapeng and Zhang Jingchu agreed to continue pretending to be husband and wife.
As the two got along, Zhang Jingchu learned that the hotel they were staying in was a hotel that Dapeng got a discount from his ex-girlfriend. She thought that he always kept things secret from her and did his own thing. After all the decisions, the two quarreled again.
In fact, it was not her ex-girlfriend who made Zhang Jingchu angry, but her husband who always treated her like an outsider:
And it was because of this quarrel that Zhang Jingchu became so angry that she left, and pursued her. Dapeng, who was behind, was accidentally hit by a car. He was fine, but suffered amnesia.
In fact, Dapeng just pretended to have forgotten everything about Zhang Jingchu. The two took this as an opportunity to recall the past, from the care before marriage to the 27-day cold war after marriage. Zhang Jingchu Unavoidable tears -
Dapeng, who couldn't bear to lose face because of his good looks before his "amnesia", finally learned to say sorry, thus starting the "Chasing Wife Crematorium" mode.
It can be said that the experiences and conflicts between the couple have aroused the outcry of many people, showing the pain of marriage among young couples.
Who would have thought that a "post-95s" could fall in love with a "post-60s"?
The 23-year-old Kang Keren is interested in Hu Jun, a rock singer and single dad who was once popular in the 1990s.
"Nothing that should have happened" happened to the two people who were nearly 30 years apart, and the funniest thing about this pair was actually because of the "intrusion" of Kang Keren's mother Zhang Tong. .
In order for his mother, who was very strict with herself, to accept her boyfriend as soon as possible, Hu Jun pretended to be a friend of Dapeng and met with his mother.
Unexpectedly, my mother was a huge rock fan when she was young, and she immediately recognized Hu Jun.
From Hu Jun signing with the wrong management company to playing guitar strings and playing drums, his familiarity with rock music is obvious. ".
Feel the frenzy of turning from a university professor to an idol when she is on the phone to being a fan girl, jumping up and down to spinning in circles——
Sure enough, women have always lived in their hearts. A little girl.
Boyfriend becomes dad? The scene got a little out of control, and my daughter began to regret it. It was so funny to see Hu Jun being attacked by cute girls and mature women
In addition to the above three couples, we can also see that they are so busy that they can even fall asleep while driving. "The doctor's father-daughter relationship, which lacked communication with his rebellious daughter, was eased by the addition of a head nurse.
Especially in Dapeng’s home, the family always puts on a “big New Year’s comparison scene” when they get together, but grandma never evens out a bowl of water, and is often critical of her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoyi, while she is always critical of her second daughter-in-law. Daughter-in-law Zhang Tong takes great care of her, causing many commentators to say "the fragrance is far away and the smell is near".
However, the way the old couple played by Chen Xiaoyi and Xie Yuan get along can be called a "model couple".
When Chen Xiaoyi told her mother-in-law that she had a heart attack, and faced her son being hit by a car and her old mother having a heart attack outside the ward, Xie Yuan did not blame his wife but instead blamed Feng Shui, which indirectly caused Chen Xiaoyi admitted her mistake and comforted her wife.
Xie Yuan plays dad so vividly, it’s so cute!
In fact, from the wonderful presentation of the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife, to the relationship between father and daughter, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the natural and real acting skills of the powerful actors in the play are indispensable.
The whole drama abandons the post-eighteenth level filter, and the picture is so clear that you can clearly see the pores on each actor's face, whether it is Yao Chen's joy, Bai Yu's cheerfulness, or Dapeng's The silly laughter, Zhang Jingchu’s tears, and the rivalry between the leading actors easily brought people into the story.
For a comedy, in the face of young people who are increasingly laughing, there are many scenes in the play that young audiences can instantly get.
In addition to the "little theater in the brain" with a lot of drama, Bai Yu's "Sunflower Acupoint Pointing Hand" made Yao Chen dislike "I'm looking for you" -
Ridiculing "Wulin Gaiden" 》, the dimensional wall was broken!
In addition, there is a layer of female care in the play.
When faced with other people's doubts about her singleness, the head nurse asked back -
And when Yao Chen was cheated on her for a year, her best friend Gao Ye comforted her:
It is worth mentioning that since this drama is launched in 2020, we can see that it follows current hot topics.
The older generation exchanged Douyin accounts, and the new generation started playing mobile games. In addition to the incident of doctors "receiving red envelopes", there are also reflections on the entertainment industry:
In general, the whole drama has elements of love, family, and friendship, from career to family. Although many of the plots are clichéd and the transitions between the lines are a bit stiff, when it comes to a dinner drama Look, there is still a lot of fun, and I accidentally watched 10 episodes in a row.
As netizens who have watched the show said:
This dish is worth trying.
