Let's find a man to marry!This sentence, which was named "the most vicious workplace swearing" by netizens, has been very popular recently, and it comes from the popular TVB drama "News Queen". 
Since the show was launched, it has frequently appeared on hot searches. It can be said that this is a workplace drama that is rare in TVB and rare in China. It depicts a ukiyo-e of the modern workplace, in a news station, two forces under the director, you sing and I appear, and they fight each other. The people at the bottom are all kinds of postures, some lie flat, some are wall grass, some are moles, and some are gossiping. 
The Hong Kong drama "News Queen" has sharp lines, a crisp and neat plot, and the most important thing is that all members "don't talk about love, only talk about career". Many netizens are still watching the drama with the love brain cultivated by domestic entertainment screenwriters, but they are frequently slapped in the face: "The female and male protagonists are very smart, so that even if they are fighting in full swing in the early stage, I thought they were the kind they pretended to be on the surface, after all, two such smart people were calculated by their bosses, and they shouldn't know it." But when I saw the seventh episode, the female protagonist was live on the fire, and the male protagonist deliberately led her to a dangerous place, and when the male protagonist was still snickering when ** happened, I realized that I was too wrong. It turns out that the male and female protagonists in the TV series don't need to fall in love. Some netizens @YangyangYangyang even watched a few episodes of PTSD and were all sorted out: "Charmaine Sheh's Sister Man is exactly the same as my former female boss, the style of doing things, the movements in her hands, the smiling flesh without smiling, the eyes that squint at people, the weird tone of yin and yang, and even the mocking rhetorical questions with a little meanness when speaking, are exactly the same." "The heroine in the play, Sister Man, is beautiful and sassy, concentrating on her career, and she is the biggest in the world. For example, a male subordinate who is obviously obsessed with his ex-boyfriend, but can go to sleep with eight-pack abs when he turns around, even changes his face when the scheming milk dog wants to stay overnight:
Hurry up and put on your pants and leave, it's 11 o'clock soon, don't delay the old lady to sleep. ”
The Hong Kong drama "News Queen" really has to sigh: Woman, why are you so sober?However, "The Queen of News" is not flawless, and many people complain that it is".The shell of the news, the core of the palace fight".。The essence of journalism is to expose darkness and rebel against authority, but "The Queen of News" does not portray much in this regard, but instead it is a high-intensity, high-intensity power struggle throughout. In terms of understanding the professionalism of journalism, some netizens pointed out that "it is not very possible to see the professionalism". For example, when broadcasting the news of the fire, the heroine knew that there would be personal safety, but still hinted that her subordinates were filming, resulting in injuries to her subordinates. On the news of the death of a wealthy businessman, the fact that a text message from an insider was reported on a live broadcast is really inconsistent with the basic principles of journalistic work.
But in any case, "News Queen" has improved a lot compared to those fake workplace dramas that are dressed in the cloak of the workplace but only fall in love, but it is still a lot worse than excellent workplace dramas. Today we will talk about "workplace dramas".
An idol drama dressed in the coat of the workplaceWhen it comes to excellent workplace dramas, it may be "Doctor Grey Xi", or "Unnatural Death", or "Winner is Justice". 
American drama "Xi Doctor Grey" So how to judge the quality of a workplace drama?Here we take medical workplace dramas as an example. The screenwriter of an excellent work may be a medical master's degree himself, and every episode of the show is like a medical class, and professional terms such as heart valves, duodenal perforation, and cardiopulmonary bypass continue to impact the audience's eardrums and IQ, and even the actor has no problem having a small appendix surgery after playing the role. But if you keep bragging about how powerful this show is, and the audience won't even do cardiopulmonary resuscitation after watching it, it's simply a shame for the industry. An excellent workplace drama will make the audience fall in love with this industry after watching it. Douban netizen @Susan. A short review of "Grey the Xi Doctor":"After watching two episodes, I really want to go to work and want that feeling of being busy. ”The same is true for other industries. Looking at domestic workplace dramas again, the themes are not rich, mostly concentrated in a few industries such as medical care, legal affairs, and criminal investigation, and the vast majority of industries in the 360 lines are rarely involved. In addition, there are various drawbacks in workplace dramas. (1) An idol drama dressed as a workplace dramaIn order to cater to the needs of popular culture, many workplace dramas have completely degenerated into pseudo-workplace dramas in which handsome men and beautiful women fall in love. For example: the heroine in "Perfect Relationship" has no professionalism as a public relations, and only has a love brain;The heroine in "Elite Lawyer" is very familiar with memorizing legal provisions, but her professionalism is questioned;Luo Zijun in "The First Half of My Life" is a typical example of a female counterattack in the workplace, but Tang Jing is a girlfriend on the left, and He Han is a life mentor on the right. Although all the female workplace characters in "Youth" are very eye-catching, they still use more space to show the love story of each heroine. Although these dramas also have innovative points, the overly suspended characters and plots make this kind of drama just replace the "new bottle" of female workplace dramas, but it does not break away from the "old wine" of idol dramas and romantic dramas. (2) Lack of professionalism and blind fabricationAn excellent workplace drama, the core characters, core events and main contradictions of the story revolve around the content of the industry, and deeply show and improve the professional connotation, spiritual value and core pursuit of practitioners, which is the narrative logic of industry dramas. It can be said that portraying the professionalism of people in the workplace and the real and rigorous workplace ecology are the basic requirements of workplace dramas. The domestic workplace dramas that everyone is dissatisfied with are, in the final analysis, the lack of realism in domestic workplace dramas and the imbalance in grasping professionalism. For example, the workplace dramas represented by "Du Lala's Promotion" and "Dear Translator", because the screenwriter is not familiar with and does not understand the industry, the play is full of a large number of technical flaws and common sense mistakes, and the life, characters, industries, and occupations in them are even more false. (3) The sense of reality is not strong, and the plot is fake and emptyThe biggest slot of many workplace dramas is focused on the nonsense of the story and the fake big space of the characters, and the screenwriters who lack real life experience often do not do serious industry research. For example, the characters are everywhere in the depths of the tall CBD office building;Tens of millions of projects are handled at every turn;A strong woman in elaborate makeup, high heels and a professional suit;Of course, there are individual workplace dramas that perform well, but they are still a minority. For example, "Ideal City" shows the state of the construction industry, and the pictures in the play are very "rough": the crowded subway, the dirty and cramped office, and the unkempt general manager ......As the protagonist, Su Xiao's clothes are gray and uneven, and the halo of the protagonist is completely missing. The core plot of "Ideal City" is not driven by misunderstanding, not by love, not by "palace fighting", but by being close to the industry, talking about industry data, talking about clean competition in the industry, and the details of the real workplace are close to reality. The audience is not stupid, and the quality of the show can be seen at a glance. 
4) The motivation of the characters to pursue independence is narrowed, and there are quite a lot of dramas labeled as female workplace dramas, which are commendable in creating an independent image. For example, Su Mingyu in "It's All Good", Fang Bijin in "An Home", and Fan Shengmei in "Ode to Joy", the creators attributed their growth confusion to the influence of the "patriarchal" original family. The origin of the name Fang Bijin in "An Home" is a sad past: "I am the Fang family, and I want to throw it in the well before I die. And it was none other than her biological mother who threw her into the well. Fang Bijin, who was finally rescued by his grandfather, left home to work at the age of sixteen or seventeen because his family was poor and could not study. In the years that followed, Fang Bijin was also used as an ATM by her mother. Although the image of women who are restricted by the original family is easy to resonate with the audience, it often narrows the motivation of women to struggle and pursue independence. Women's independence should come from inner needs and self-drive, especially in the workplace, which is the space that can best reflect women's self-worth and self-expression.
What should a good workplace drama look like?The "workplace" is a product of the rise of the market economy and popular culture. With the continuous expansion of the economic scope and the gradual specialization and complexity of occupational subdivisions, the workplace has become a living environment that contemporary people must face. The rise of workplace dramas is a true reproduction of today's public living conditions, and its popularity is both a cultural phenomenon and a social phenomenon. From a cultural point of view, interpreting life from the perspective of the workplace has become a popular aesthetic trendFrom a social point of view, the workplace is an important stage of life, and various interpersonal relationships, love and hatred, and a large number of psychological problems in the workplace have become challenges that contemporary people must face. Although the plot of workplace dramas is ever-changing, what is shown is often the workplace that the public can directly feel and accept. A high-quality workplace drama should not deviate from the spirit of the workplace, let alone an idol drama or romance drama under the guise of it. It should always be infused with the difficulties and struggles of people in the workplace, the shortcomings of all walks of life, and the dark side of human nature behind it, so as to reflect the valuable professional concepts and values, so that the audience as a working person can uphold the correct view of right and wrong in the complex reality. Take "Unnatural Death" as an example, the play tells the story of the forensic doctor who discovers the real cause of the "unnatural" death behind it in his daily work. Everyone is dedicated to their work, and the heroine relies on her professional ability to convince others, rather than a bunch of old, middle-aged and young handsome guys revolving around the heroine. There are thoughts on life and society in the play, and the screenwriter and director show a real picture of society, so it's no wonder that they can get Douban 95 points for God's evaluation. 
Japanese drama "Unnatural Death".Today we talked about a lot of "workplace dramas", and there is also a professional psychological test of "Workplace Personality Training Manual" here, enter the [Solution X] applet to play [Free].
Write at the endEngels believed: "Realism means that, in addition to the truth of details, it is necessary to realistically reproduce typical people in typical environments." "In any case, realism and professionalism are indispensable factors for a good workplace drama. If workplace dramas are detached from reality and do not integrate into the industry, then only nonsense remains. In addition, workplace dramas are not that they can't fall in love, and their main contradiction should be related to workplace work, rather than ignoring anything for the sake of a shameless love!references：———1] yang yi. on three core issues in workplace drama creation [d]. shandong normal university, 2020. doi: 10.27280/d.cnki.gsdsu.2020.001355Author: kkTypesetting: kk
