"Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes" has three major shortcomings, and the plot is beginning to be unfinished, and the character of Happy has collapsed!

The rural drama "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" starring Zhao Liying is the most popular drama currently on the air, and it is also the most controversial drama. While the audience sat in front of the TV on time every night and immersed themselves in watching the drama, they were so angry with the characters in the drama that their blood pressure soared and they wanted to curse. Everyone shouted "Abandon the drama, abandon the drama", but they couldn't help but chase after it.

The current rating of the show has been released. *** 127,637 people have rated it, and the current rating remains at 7.4.

My rating for "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" is four stars, 8.0.

Some viewers may think that the score of 7.4 is low, while others may think that this score is too high. But I think the score of 7.4 is quite reasonable.

This drama is a relatively good rural reality drama. Generally speaking, the style is relatively realistic, the characters are vivid, the plot is vivid, and the actors' performances are relatively strong, but there are still many flaws and shortcomings.

To sum up, Luzhu believes that the play mainly has the following three shortcomings, which prevents the play from becoming an excellent representative of rural dramas in the new era.

The first major shortcoming: Although the play can be regarded as a rural reality drama, some plots are too idealistic and the protagonist has too much halo, which weakens the power of realism, reflection and criticism of the play. intensity of real problems.

The over-idealization of the play is mainly reflected in two points: the first point is that He Xingfu, as the heroine, has a heavy halo as the protagonist and grows and succeeds too smoothly and quickly; the second point mainly reflects In the portrayal and depiction of the image of Wan Shantang, the village party secretary.

Let’s first analyze the first point, He Xingfu’s halo as the protagonist.

After He Xingfu came to the city, he happened to meet lawyer Guan Tao, so it was logical that he became a cleaner at Fangyuan Law Firm, which was opened by Guan Tao and two other lawyers. At Fangyuan Law Firm, He Xingfu successfully promoted from cleaner to front desk by virtue of his hard work and enthusiasm.

This is relatively realistic, because after all, happy people are beautiful and smart, and Fangyuan Law Firm was a very small law firm at that time. Because it could not afford high wages, it could not recruit people. It’s not a bad idea to go to the front desk of an ideal college student and let happiness take over for a while. And happiness is constantly learning and improving.

But what is more unrealistic is that Guan Tao, Lawyer Zhang and Lawyer Wang, three lawyers, tried their best, but did not receive any decent case. Instead, relying on happiness, they first received cases in the countryside. The Apple case opened up the reputation of the law firm, and thanks to a conversation between Xingfu and Frank, the representative of Anfei Group, Fangyuan Law Firm successfully won the legal agency business of Anfei Group, a large international company, thus making Fangyuan Law Firm a success. The child has reached a new level.

Three professional lawyers are not as good as a receptionist with a junior high school education? If this were placed in real reality, it would be too outrageous.

Of course, you can argue for Xingfu that Xingfu is just a foreshadowing and medium. The real ability to win the case depends on the professional legal standards of the three lawyers Guan Tao.

Even so, the play also portrays happiness too well, and there are too many coincidences in the success of happiness. Happiness is like the lucky generals like Niu Gao and Cheng Yaojin in traditional storytelling. Although they are not very capable, they are luckier than others in every aspect.

There is also Xingfu who resigned from Fangyuan Law Firm and returned to Wanjiazhuang, thinking about opening an inn. She came up with the idea of ??online crowdfunding on her own, and Guan Tao and the three of them each invested 100,000 yuan in order to help her. Moreover, just by relying on a crowdfunding article "A Country Girl's Inn Dream", I was able to impress many netizens and successfully raised two million.

This, raising money is too smooth, right?

After raising the money, the inn opened smoothly. Although the business was not good for a time, with the help of a Weibo article by one of the shareholders, Writer Wu, who has stayed at the inn for a long time, the inn’s business improved. It suddenly became popular.

Later, among the guests staying at the inn, there happened to be a female guest from the water quality testing department. She stimulated Happiness to test the mountain spring water used in the inn, which proved that the mountain spring water contained more than 20 kinds of harmful substances to the human body. Beneficial minerals and a test report have become the best endorsement of Happy Inn.

Wan Chuanjia was worried that he could not collect the payment from the health care product factory, so he threatened He Xuxun to help him deal with the big dealer from Guangzhou and collect the payment. But the dealer refused to accept the hard words and was so angry that Xiao Wan always dropped his glass. Lucky laid out the legal terms, but the dealer was not afraid at all. Another few words of Lucky's understatement resolved the conflict at once, and also inspired After receiving the inspiration from the dealer, the dealer successfully sold out all the unsalable health care products of Wanjia Group, and Mr. Xiao Wan also successfully got back the payment for the goods.

Therefore, in the process of watching the drama, I kept sighing in my heart, this He Xingfu is really a "blessed general", she can really kill the Buddha at the sight of the Buddha, and subdue the devil at the sight of the devil!

In fact, anyone who has experienced social beatings knows that when ordinary people want to do something, especially something a little innovative, they usually encounter great resistance and difficulty. The success of happiness is too easy to express, which gives the impression that it is not in line with reality and too idealistic, like the plot of a drama with a heroine, where the protagonist has a halo and a golden finger.

Let’s analyze the second point, the character image of Wan Shan Tang.

First of all, I want to say that the actor Liu Wei is indeed a powerful veteran actor. His acting skills are particularly good. He portrays the image of a village party secretary who is dignified, conceited, arbitrary, but also reasonable and empathetic. outstanding. At the same time, when reflecting the unsatisfactory things he did to his two children as a father, it also fully demonstrated his sadness and hatred.

However, all the bad and immoral things related to Wanjiazhuang and the Wang family in the play were done by Wan Shantang’s son Wan Chuanjia. Wan Shantang was completely unaware of this beforehand. If it were placed in reality, would you believe it?

Yes, in reality, there are indeed many ineffective second-generation children who do some bad and outrageous things under the banner of successful fathers, but as for Wan Chuanmei’s replacement of Wang Xiuyu’s identity in going to college To put it bluntly, I don't believe that ten years ago, when Wan Chuanjia was only in his early twenties, he dared to successfully operate such a big thing by himself.

Taking on someone else’s identity to go to college, and it was around 2006 when the Internet was already very developed (because Wan Chuanmei pretended to be Wang Xiuyu and went to college, and passed the accounting qualification certificate. There is a photo in the play, above It shows that Wang Xiuyu was born in 1988. From this, it can be inferred that Wang Xiuyu took the college entrance examination when she was 18 years old, that is, in 2006). Just relying on Wan Chuanjia's statement that "it cost 20,000 yuan to find someone to do this" is simply not credible. Not realistic.

In order to portray Wan Shan Tang as a positive image of the village party secretary worthy of recognition, the play placed all the bad and immoral things on his son Wan Chuan's family.

Wan Chuanjia can be said to be the one who takes the blame for the worst misfortunes in the show.

In fact, if the matter of replacing Xiuyu and letting Chuanmei go to college was written as the suggestion of Wan Chuanjia and the manipulation or tacit support of Wanshantang, it might be more realistic.

My character is flawless, but my son has done a lot of bad things, and I am completely unaware of it, so I ask you, do you believe it?

How many people who are originally good people will make mistakes for the sake of their children. The older generation of village party secretaries with little education like Wan Shantang will be confused and make mistakes for the sake of their children, and their image will be worse. Three-dimensional, more realistic.

The second biggest flaw of the play: In order to contrast and highlight the perfect image of the heroine He Xingfu, after making Wang Qinglai too unbearable and annoying, he made Xingfu turn around and follow Qing back to the countryside.

The original screenwriter of the play's script was Zhao Dongling. In Zhao Dongling's original script, He Xingfu and Wang Qinglai finally divorced. The Wang family wanted to keep the child by force, but Xingfu once again filed a lawsuit and obtained custody of the child.

The plot of the divorce between Xingfu and Qinglai was mentioned in the original character introduction of "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses".

Perhaps out of consideration for the theme of the rural poverty alleviation drama, director Zheng Xiaolong cannot "encourage" young rural women in the plot to divorce their bad husbands when they become good, and he himself also mentioned in the interview that he Perspectives on happiness and Qinglai marriage.

Director Zheng Xiaolong believes that Xingfu is a kind, compassionate and empathetic person. Although Qinglai has some bad habits, he has not done anything bad, so Xingfu has no big reason to break up with him.

But compared with Qinglai, there is really a huge gap. One is motivated and excellent, shining with the light of ideals, while the other is ignorant and unwilling to make progress, cowardly, incompetent, and independent, but also likes to be in trouble. It can be said that there is a gap between heaven and earth.

Especially when the couple went to the city, Qinglai was extremely bad in every aspect, but Happiness was always working hard, moving forward, and becoming better.

It is obvious that the young couple in the city no longer have the same language, let alone understand each other.

But just when the audience was expecting Happiness to divorce Qinglai as soon as possible, Qinglai made a mistake and ran back to the countryside alone. Happiness immediately resigned and returned to the countryside.

Moreover, Xingfu also said "Since I married you, I consider you to be my husband", which is what women in the old times would say. An audience member specifically asked screenwriter Zhao Dongling about this line and whether she wrote the line. Zhao Dongling replied "no".

If this line was said when Xingfu had just gotten married, it would be understandable, but this was after Xingfu had been working in the city for three years, after she had already worked at the front desk of a law firm, and had grown a lot. After gaining experience, mastering a lot of legal knowledge, and reading many books, and at this time, it should be around 2013, it is really surprising that Xingfu can still express such a view.

It was precisely because of Xingfu who had been working hard to make progress that he followed his unmotivated husband back to the countryside without saying a word. Because Xingfu did not divorce Qinglai, many female viewers gave the show a 2 Star or even 1 star rating.

Actually, I think the key to the problem is not whether Xingfu divorced Qinglai, but what kind of mentality Xingfu had when he followed Qinglai back to the countryside.

If this problem is not resolved in the plot, then Happiness’s image as a rural woman in the new era will be greatly compromised.

Divorce is not something that can be done with just a few words. It is not easy for either rural women or urban women, especially for married women who already have children.

Happiness does not need to get divorced, but Happiness is willing to give up everything he has worked so hard for in the city and return to the countryside with Qinglai. The prerequisite must be that Qinglai has someone who is willing to change himself and keep up with Happiness. Qing Lai was unwilling to give up his feelings for her and promised to work hard to make progress. Qing Lai took the initiative to admit that he was not suitable for city life and apologized to Xingfu for all the wrong things he had done in the city.

But how is the plot handled?

Because Qing Lai heard that he had caused a loss of two million yuan a year to the law firm, he was so frightened that he did not even dare to tell him about happiness, so he ran back to the countryside. When Xingfu came back to see him, he was still playing tricks, using retreat as an opportunity to advance, saying that he was incompetent and was showing off, and he had no problem with Xingfu wanting a divorce.

But in order to keep such a marriage, Happiness resolutely chose to return to the countryside.

After seeing this, do you also feel that happiness is a bit too "Mother"?

If Qinglai learned from the experience and worked hard to become better, we wouldn’t be so upset. But has Qinglai changed since he came back?

Basically not. Returning to his comfort zone, he was just back to where he started.

You see, whether it is Xingfu’s plan to open an inn or his sister Xiuyu’s replacement at university, Qinglai is still a “no way” and “my mother said”.

If the original plot of Teacher Zhao Dongling's divorce from Happiness needs to be adapted during the filming of the play, then the corresponding plot in your play will also have to be adjusted.

If Qing Lai’s image was not written in such a bad way, even if he was placed among the peasants, he was the most inconspicuous and humble one, the audience would not react so much to their marriage. fierce.

Husband and wife should live together for a lifetime. If husband and wife cannot synchronize, do not have the same language, and speak like chickens and ducks, then no matter how successful their careers are, there will be permanent emotional shortcomings.

The third major shortcoming of the play: many life details in the play are distorted, which leads to a confusing sense of time in the plot and even gives people a magical feeling.

For example, the timeline of the play should be written from 2009 to about 2014. Xingfu and Qinglai got married in 2009. After that, they had Xiaodouzi and stayed in the city for about three years.

However, there is a plot in the play that mentions housing prices in provincial capitals. When Qing Lai was working as a security guard, he asked his colleague Xiao Shan how much the surrounding real estate prices were. Xiaoshan said that a house in the city center costs 38,900 yuan, or even more than 40,000 yuan. Xiao Shan also said, if I buy it, I will buy a scenic home eight stations away from here, where one square meter only costs 12,000.

For this detail, I went online and carefully searched the house prices around 2011. Even in first-tier metropolises like Shanghai, housing prices were not so high at that time. What's more, it's the provincial capital of Anhui Province shown in the play. The housing prices in Hefei, even now, are not as high as stated in the drama.

I also heard that my sister had given birth to a baby. I wanted to buy a fruit basket to see my sister. A fruit basket actually costs 168 yuan.

First of all, were fruit baskets so expensive around 2010?

Secondly, I am lucky to be visiting my own sister, not some big boss. Do I need to buy a fruit basket? I can just buy some fresh fruit in bulk for my sister. Why do I have to pack it? Woolen cloth? Lucky is not someone who doesn't know how frugal his sister's happiness is.

Also, Lucky, as a top student who graduated from the Provincial City School of Political Science and Law, was actually rejected by the recruiting unit because he was only an undergraduate. You know, the time in the play was in 2009; in 2009, I was lucky enough to get an internship salary of 1,500 yuan, but I couldn't afford to pay the rent despite living frugally. As a result, I was kicked out by the landlord and was forced to live in the unit...

According to the producer of "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" Cao Ping said that Zhao Dongling's first draft of the script was completed in 2016. Because the background of the original novel "The Legend of Qiu Ju" was in the 1980s and 1990s, Zhao Dongling placed the background of the script around 2000. Cao Ping and the creative team believed that the background time of the story could be newer, so they finally placed it in 2009 as the beginning of the story.

The script was revised while filming, and it lasted until 2020. It is estimated that it is not one person who is revising it, but a team of screenwriters. Therefore, many life details and objects and utensils in the play have a sense of chronology. Many things that are only available in recent years also appear in the plot. middle.

For example, the advertisements embedded in the play, "Moulong Nuts" and "Mou Peng Special Drink", were only launched in 2014, while the special drink was first bottled in 2009 and only started to be sold in 2013. It spread across the country, but when Qingzhi brought his girlfriend home for the first time (Xingfu got married in 2009 and was in the late stages of pregnancy, it should have been in the summer of 2010), the two of them took a certain Long Nuts and a certain Peng Te Drink with them while hiking. .

Since it is a realistic drama, every detail of life should be rigorous and consistent with the real era and time.

In summary, this is Luzhu’s summary of the shortcomings and shortcomings of the drama "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes".

Of course, the overall plot of the play is relatively smooth, and the plot parts about rural conflicts and struggles are also relatively realistic. The images of the two older generation farmers, Wang Youde and Lin Guizhi, are particularly realistic and accurate.

The heroine He Xingfu, although she has a heavy protagonist aura and some elements of a drama, her main image is still very inspirational and touching.

Postscript:

After I finished writing this drama review article, I had time to take a look at the latest episodes 34 and 35.

I thought that after Xingfu learned that Xiuyu was replaced in college, he would be able to encourage Xiuyu to stand up and sue Wan Chuanmei. However, he didn't expect that after Xingfu went to see Secretary Wan, he heard from Secretary Wan that Chuanmei almost committed suicide. ——Go home and persuade Xiuyu to accept reality? !

This is too holy!

After seeing this paragraph, I am so disappointed in He Xingfu!

Because evildoers threaten death, do we have to give up seeking justice and upholding justice? !

Xiuyu’s identity was stolen by Chuanmei. Xiuyu will never leave Wanjiazhuang in her entire life! Don’t even think about taking the accounting certificate exam again! Wherever Wan Chuanmei is used for document examinations and job hunting, Xiuyu can no longer be used!

Moreover, the incident of substitute admission to college not only harms Xiuyu’s interests, it also harms the entire educational fairness. Behind it is a long list of illegal and criminal people and facts!

He Xingfu actually advised Xiuyu to be more open-minded!

I feel that by using such a seemingly tolerant and magnanimous way to solve problems, but in fact it is muddled and compromising, He Xingfu's character of being more serious and accepting death will collapse!

The show is starting to unravel!
