Recently, a high-profile family comedy has emerged, "Happy Parents Group" was simultaneously broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV, and it swiped the screen on the day of its premiere, and the ratings ranked first. This drama not only has a fascinating plot, but also benefits from the joining of many powerful actors, among which Zhang Jiayi's outstanding performance is particularly eye-catching, and he successfully conquered the audience with his moisturizing and silent acting skills. So, what kind of character does Zhang Jiayi play in the play? And what is unique about this TV series?
The plot of Happy Parents focuses on the families of elementary school students, which is different from other family dramas. By telling the changes and problems faced by several families after the introduction of the "double reduction" policy, the plot is thought-provoking. Dai Jing is a mother who works outside the home, and in order to care about her son's studies, she resolutely quit her high-paying job and devoted herself to taking care of her children. Before her children entered junior high school, she began to worry about her son's college enrollment.
While Dai Jing's husband Liu Xiangxiang comforted his wife, he thought about how to better educate his children. There are many interesting and thought-provoking stories that happen between the family's interactions, which provoke thinking about how to properly raise children in the context of burden reduction.
The introduction of the "parent group" in the play, which makes it a link between multiple families, is also a highlight of the play. While this new model of connecting home and school provides convenience for both parties, it has also caused a lot of trouble. Many parents have the experience of being in the parent group and sending their children homework, and sometimes a small thing that should be simple can cause the whole group to get into trouble because some parents overperform. These helpless experiences were skillfully integrated into "Happy Parents Group" by the screenwriter. Yang Mingbiao and Jing Tingting's family in the play are typical local tyrant families, and the school requires parents to transfer their children's food expenses to the Agricultural Bank of China, but this caused a dispute between Yuxuan's mother and Jing Tingting, making her face the choice of whether to run for the director of the parent committee.
Yang Mingbiao unceremoniously declared: "It's just the food fee, I'll pay it first, and the other parents will transfer it to me later." This bold statement caused an uproar in the group. In this big family, it seems that the family has to work hand in hand. Jing Tingting is also a heroic character. When desks and chairs need to be set up in the classroom, the teacher asks in the group if there are any parents who are willing to help. Although Jing Tingting is not good at labor, she is not to be outdone, and directly arranged for the decoration team to go to school. In addition, when discussing the issue of school uniforms, Yang Mingbiao directly called out to his friend's garment factory, saying that he was willing to contract, and the speed and quality were far better than the school's current arrangement. This move made the parents in the group can't help but talk about it, questioning whether Yang Mingbiao drank too much, whether it was out of sincere love for the class, or just showing off his wealth.
The emergence of this parent group has transformed the situation of "educating children" into a new pattern of "both children and parents".
In the past, parents could still quietly explore the matter of rolling parents, but the emergence of parent groups has put this phenomenon directly on the table. In addition to competing with each other in the parent group, parents are also constantly spurring their children's academics. Once, in order to let her daughter perform better in the class, Jing Tingting bought a lot of pumpkins and went home to make pumpkin lanterns. The move left other parents wondering if she had bought out the pumpkin plantation. While parents are involved in their children's studies, the children are also showing considerable enthusiasm. Liu Xiangxiang's son Guo Ning is not a typical honor student, and his studies once gave the couple quite a headache. Once, the whole family worked together to help Guobao with his homework, and the scene was quite spectacular. However, what is surprising is that Guo Ning's attitude towards this assignment is that except for the oral arithmetic questions, the other parts are completed voluntarily. This "voluntary" seems to be only taken seriously by Guo Ning himself, and the other students have already finished their homework, but he is still procrastinating.
In desperation, Liu Xiangxiang and Dai Jing had no choice but to help their son finish his homework during the winter and summer vacations.
However, I don't do enough in my studies, and I can't show weakness in extracurricular activities. In order to win the first place in the upcoming sports meeting, children such as Guobao and Tangbao trained hard to run in the community. However, the running speed of the first year of junior high school was too slow, which caused other children to be dissatisfied, thinking that she was dragging her feet. Faced with this situation, Jing Tingting did not want her daughter to be affected, and directly hired a coach to help her first year of junior high school practice running. Under the guidance of the coach, the running level of the first year of junior high school improved slightly. However, the coach also pointed out that the physique of the first year of junior high school is relatively weak and should not be over-exercised. But Jing Tingting insisted on letting the coach find another way to make the running speed of the first year of junior high school go to the next level.
Gradually, the challenge of the parent group to parents is not only to show off their wealth and manage their children, but also to make all parents rack their brains for the upcoming election of the president of the parent committee.
Every parent aspires to fight for this unpaid but extra work position, just to save face for themselves and their children, and at the same time to improve communication with teachers. People with knowledge show off their knowledge, people with wealth show off their wealth, and even Liu Xiangxiang, who has been staying out of the matter, can't help but care about this "game". In the end, Yuxuan's mother, who has excellent organizational skills, was elected, and she thought that this matter could come to an end, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning. As the director of the parent committee, Yuxuan's mother actually exerted her power to the fullest. Obviously, the children only need their parents to watch the game, but Yuxuan's mother launched a nutritious meal activity, asking parents to prepare fruits and snacks for their children. At first, there were not many people in the group who responded, which made Yuxuan's mother feel uncomfortable. Later, some parents joined in, but there were disagreements over the amount of contributions, some felt it was too expensive, and some felt that it was too little.
Some people wanted to oppose the proposal, but they were embarrassed to express it directly, so they pushed others to stand up in the group, and the parent group became a small society. "Happy Parents" focuses so much on the education of students' parents and children, which seems to be humorous and witty, but it actually reflects many of today's phenomena and resonates with the audience. While surprising the audience in terms of plot, the actors also lived up to expectations, especially Zhang Jiayi's performance was even more impressive. In the cast of "Happy Parents Group", Zhang Jiayi is no stranger to the name, and he has left a wonderful performance in the popular CCTV drama "Mountains and Seas". Not only did he perform well in the main theme TV series, but he also had excellent performances in urban dramas such as "Snail House" and "Loading the Stage", and even in the spy war drama "Cliff". Although today's Zhang Jiayi has an ordinary appearance, his handsome image when he was young is still unforgettable. However, his ** that won the love of the audience is not only from his appearance, but also from his charm.
Whether it is a majestic patriarch or a caring family man, he can deduce a unique charm. This time, he played the enlightened father Liu Xiangxiang in "Happy Parents Group", showing his new charm. Liu Xiangxiang is not too anxious about children's education, but he is constantly looking for the best way to educate. As a screenwriter, he has more free working hours, and he is more suitable for taking care of the children at home than his wife, a strong woman in the workplace. As a result, the responsibility for the child's education was completely handed over to this father, but education is not an easy task, just like Liu Xiangxiang is tortured by two little ancestors every day.
At the beginning of the story, the audience presented an "opening lightning strike". Liu Xiangxiang is immersed in a rare personal time, but his son Guo Ning misses this opportunity without care. It turned out that Guo Ning eloped with a little girl in the second year of junior high school, leaving only a parting letter at home.
This news made the mother-in-law panic, but Liu Xiangxiang was not so easily fooled, he saw through his son's prank at a glance. Although it was only a false alarm, the father's heart was tired of his son's naughtiness. However, the son's naughtiness is only the tip of the iceberg, and Guobao's little daughter is even more of a troublemaker. With these two children, Liu Xiangxiang's life can be described as truly year-round. At home, he usually plays the role of a "white face", tolerant of children and does not get angry easily. Once, Guo Ning failed to be the class leader because of the interference of his classmates, and angrily beat his classmates. Seeing this, the teacher immediately found Liu Xiangxiang, hoping that he could educate Guo Ning. In such a situation, ordinary parents may punish their children, but Liu Xiangxiang did not punish Guo Ning without thinking. After understanding what happened, he did not scold, but silently bought chicken legs for the child as comfort, instantly showing a rational and tolerant father figure.
However, Liu Shangxiang has not always been able to maintain emotional stability. Under the anger of the child, he will even jokingly threaten to sell the child, which perfectly shows the psychological struggle of every father.
In addition to Zhang Jiayi, many actors showed wonderful performances. In "Three Kingdoms", Chen Hong played Diao Chan, and her beauty impressed the national audience. Now in her forties, she still maintains a good appearance, and she is not inferior to Dai Jing, who is in her thirties. Dai Jing is a strong woman, who is resolute in the workplace, and has a clear distinction between public and private. When dealing with old employees bullying newcomers, she decisively administers justice for interns, who has both human touch and strength, and is an admirable fairy boss. However, when it comes to her children's education, she seems at a loss. Worried that the double reduction policy would cause Guo Ning's already unsatisfactory grades to decline again, she chose to quit her job and go home to take care of her children wholeheartedly.
