Why did the TV series "Accompany Mom" become a "half masterpiece"?

With the increasing number of international students, there is room for discussion on many issues. Before leaving, I discussed whether to send my children abroad, and then I went back to China to discuss the survival mode of international students. Recently, the TV series "Accompanying Mom" with the theme of overseas accompanying reading has aroused the discussion of the audience. Taking several accompanying mothers with different identities as the starting point, the play tells and discusses the topics of understanding and being understood between parents and children of foreign students' families, love and being loved, giving and sacrificing, nurturing and feeding back, which is quite close to reality. With the support of Mei Ting, Xu Yajun, Vivian Wu, Ceng Li and other actors, the play has also improved its completion.

The fly in the ointment is that although the main plot of "Accompanying Mom" is quite eye-catching, the subplots such as love triangle, workplace conspiracy and dog blood tearing have reduced it to a vulgar family ethics drama and become a "half masterpiece".

The accompanying mother mainly tells the interaction between the accompanying mother and her children, and shows the lives of four typical "accompanying families" in the play:

Li Na and Ding Yi show the model of middle-class families: Li Na is the boss of a cosmetics company and neglects discipline of her son Ding Yi. Ding Shiyi was brought up by her grandparents. After going abroad, she didn't adapt to independent life, which led to various situations. After Li Na went to Vancouver to help her son solve the dispute, she decided to stay and take care of her son. Ding's moths keep Li Na busy. Finally, her father Ding Zhiyuan, who was on holiday in Vancouver, tactfully solved the contradiction between mother and child.

Chen Lili and Luo Pan showed the problems that wealthy families may encounter when they choose to study abroad. Luo Pan is an exchange student. He has no other talents and hobbies except study. He is timid and bullied at school. Mother Chen Lili went to Vancouver as an illegal worker to take care of the children. She believes that only by studying abroad can her son get ahead and change his destiny, and she has set a strict timetable for her son. Instead, both mother and son lost their balance and fell into serious anxiety.

Hu Yuanyuan and Yang Yang represent the study life of wealthy families. Hu Yuanyuan is a rich woman who has no feelings for her husband. When she was studying with her son in Vancouver, she held a "support meeting for accompanying mothers" and helped many accompanying mothers. Yang Yang got good grades and was very enthusiastic about his friends, but he found Hu Yuanyuan's adultery, so he didn't respect his mother, and many things would be bad for her. Yang Yang always respected his father, but one day, he discovered his father's "adultery" and fell into collapse.

Summer and Diana showed the life of local Chinese. Xia Tian is a career-oriented strong woman who works as a real estate agent. She usually helps accompany her mother to deal with all kinds of troubles, and this personality also affects her daughter Diana. She taught her daughter to be independent and face difficulties bravely.

The multi-faceted depiction of "parent-child relationship" in the main story of "Accompanying Mom" has aroused many viewers' deep thoughts. However, this drama is also controversial because the subplots are too bloody.

In the recently broadcast story, Li Na accidentally took a photo of Hu Yuanyuan hugging her lover, which was later discovered by Hu Yuanyuan's husband, leaving evidence. Hu Yuanyuan bears a grudge and waits for revenge. She anonymously revealed Li Na's private life and accused her of being a "bad mother". At the reception, a group of hearsay accompanying mothers planned to kick Li Na out of Vancouver. Many netizens who have accompanied the reading experience said that this malicious act of holding a group and making irresponsible remarks is "accompanying the mother" in black. In addition, the play uncovered the discussion of accompanying mothers' extramarital affairs, which also caused many mothers' dissatisfaction.

At present, the audience's loudest voice is the domestic scene of "Accompanying Mom", with extramarital affairs, dog blood tearing and workplace frame-ups. The domestic scene is dominated by subplots: Ding Zhiyuan's close interaction with his married wife Xiao Qin caused her husband's dissatisfaction, and Ding Zhiyuan was madly retaliated; There was a rebellion in Li Na's company. During his son's going abroad, the hand-picked vice president made a lot of money and also launched other colleagues in the company to "rebel". Many viewers think that the subplot is too bloody to meet the theme of "accompanying mother".

In May this year, "20 18 White Paper on Studying in China" was released. The data shows that the total number of overseas students in China has reached 5194,900 since the reform and opening up 40 years ago, and there are currently14,545,438+0,000 people studying and studying abroad at related stages. In 20 17, the number of students studying abroad in China exceeded 600,000 for the first time, reaching 608,400. Among them, according to the statistics of the white paper "Time Distribution of Intention to Study Abroad-Students/Parents", parents' intention to study abroad has reached 27% in primary school, 29% in middle school and 24% in high school, and the trend of studying abroad is becoming more and more obvious.

Accompanied by Mom focuses on the anxiety of young international students, the sense of nothingness in a foreign land, the irreconcilable agitation in adolescence, and the increased pressure from parents' unconditional love. The accompanying mother does not discuss whether it is useful to study abroad, but directly cuts into the parent-child relationship between young international students and their mothers: how do children face cultural differences outside, how do they face the pressure brought by their mothers' meticulous care, and how do their mothers adapt to a completely strange foreign life ... These questions are very realistic, and the accompanying mother is also trying to give answers.
