WeChat is an indispensable communication tool and social networking tool for Chinese. "Happy Parents Group", which is being broadcast on the dual platforms of Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV, is an urban light comedy based on WeChat groups.
It is not uncommon for contemporary film and television works to be **now social**, but this is the first work that builds the basic character relationships and dramatic contradictions on WeChat communication. And through online intersection and reality exchange, this is also the first TV series that cuts into the relationship between home and school, parent-child relationship, neighborhood relationship, and workplace relationship so deeply.
"Happy Parents Group" is written by Ma Guangyuan, directed by Li Yafei, and starring Zhang Jiayi and Chen Hao. The so-called small group, the big stage of society. All kinds of strange and funny operations reflect the spiritual world of contemporary people who have the word "roll" and the daily life of suffering and happiness.
The pace of human work and life is constantly accelerating with the evolution of communication tools and **. In the past, when there were only letters and newspapers, everyone lived a slow life. Later, with ** and television, the efficiency of communication was doubled, and the density of information reception was doubled.
Nowadays, in the era of wireless communication and social networking, people have become a site on the instant messaging network, and they have also become a small boat in the ocean of information. Human beings have never been more convenient than ever to export and obtain information, but they are also trapped in information** and electronic calling, and they are inevitably exhausted.
WeChat has changed the way society is organized and operated, some companies are still implementing a 9-to-5 shift system, and some companies are implementing online work from home. WeChat groups have fostered closer relationships between people: teachers send homework and school notices to each parent in the parent group; In another parent group, the director of the parent committee organizes parents to do the logistics of school activities.
Happy Parents Group keenly captures and documents this change. There are actually two groups of so-called parent groups, one is a group built by the teacher of Liu Guoning, a fifth-grade student, and the other is a group built by the teacher of Liu Guobao, a first-grade freshman. Guobao and Guo Ning's father is film and television screenwriter Liu Shangxiang (played by Zhang Jiayi), and their mother is sales master Dai Jing (played by Chen Hao), and the family of four forms a middle-class family.
Opposite Liu's house, there lives first-grader Jelly Bean and his young mother Tang Xiaowei (played by Wang Xiaochen), a single-parent divorced family. Liu Xiangxiang's friend Yang Mingbiao (played by Zhao Da) and his wife Jing Tingting (played by Ling Zi) have a child: Guobao and Jelly Bean's classmates are in the first year of junior high school, and Yang Mingbiao and his ex-wife also have a child: fifteen. It was a wealthy family.
In the parent group, there are many people talking and quarreling. The Liu family is better than less than one thing, but they are always involved in it and can't stop. Tang Xiaowei is a fast-talking character, Jing Tingting is a panicked style, and she always causes trouble, and the situation is constant.
The so-called happy parent group is that parents show their own abilities in order to obtain some nihilistic or tangible benefits, forming an atmosphere of joy and embarrassment. People who are performing in the game don't feel unusual, but there is always a moment when the absurd logic is pushed to the extreme, and the exaggerated and deformed movements are an inexplicable joy in the eyes of others.
"Happy Parents Group" is half a foot above the ground to observe and express this fiery life. Because it's close to the ground, you can see it clearly. Because there is some detachment, reason is always there. This kind of accompanying writing brings the audience the feeling of looking in the mirror and a knowing smile, and also leaves a video record of social ** affecting life for future generations.
Between teachers and parents, there is a hidden "food chain".
Because children study under the command of teachers, parents hope that teachers will take care of their children and not treat them indifferently. If you ask for something, you will naturally greet it with a smile, and even give it to you.
In the past, parents could only make overtures to teachers in limited offline contact. With the WeChat group, the teacher is the natural leader of the parent group, and the teacher responds to every call. The teacher's words are "holy decrees", and parents must implement them to the letter, and it is not uncommon for them to respond with excessive force.
If there is a specific "subject matter", such as the election of class cadres or the director of the parent committee, the competition will occur. In the group hosted by the teacher, it is naturally a positive performance of strength, resources, talents, and specialties. This scramble can also spill over, and additional battles often occur in groups of parents who do not have teachers.
Guo Bao's class was looking for a candidate for the director of the parent committee, and suddenly jumped out of the female parents who had plenty of time and the male parents who had a doctorate degree to compete. In the parent group pulled by Gao Yuxuan's mother, the two candidates were at loggerheads, and the parents were also divided into two factions to start a fight. After some hearsay, division and disintegration, and a few ups and downs, the director of the parent committee finally fell on the head of Gao Yuxuan's mother.
The dust has not settled. The new official took office three fires, and Gao Yuxuan's mother immediately organized a parent martial arts competition to support the school sports meeting. Unifying thinking is a thousand difficulties. Each performs its own duties, and all are busy. When the photographer, mung bean soup, and fresh fruit were all ready, but they were blocked out due to the small space, the parents immediately complained.
At school, small bumps between children spark a big firefight between parents. In WeChat, a circle of friends of the teacher attracted parents to place orders. The discussion of class affairs in the parent group will accidentally lead to disputes over academic discrimination, gender discrimination, and wealth discrimination.
A mentality of "wanting to win and being afraid of losing" permeates parents. A scramble to be the first to fall into the actions of parents. Every time the gun goes wrong, it is often in vain, and it always repeats the mistakes of the past, and this kind of wind-up involution life just can't stop.
Happy Parents brings laughter, completes decompression, and is enough to trigger self-examination and a pattern reset. Do we have to live so tired? Do you have to make the surrounding around in the name of a child? Isn't it good to give a happy childhood back to a child? Isn't it good to be a parent in a relaxed manner?
It is impossible for a drama to unravel the myriad social cruxes, but once thinking begins, the gears of society may be reversed.
**The laws of chaos in the world are not only common among parents, but also collide with other age groups.
In the workplace, Dai Jing's belief in the sophistication of human feelings and the way of survival encountered strong corrections from post-00s assistants. Young people leave when they arrive and refuse to work overtime. Young people take the elevator and refuse to give way to the leader. Dai Jing wanted to teach young people a good lesson, but she was infected by her straightforwardness and vitality, and she no longer knew how to protect herself, but spoke for her aggrieved colleagues.
"Happy Parents Group" seriously wrote "post-00s rectification of the workplace". This is not just a ridiculous description, it contains the truth that simplicity overcomes complexity, common sense cleans up, and efficiency is higher than the best. **The lakes all have blind spots that they are accustomed to, but once the old and sophisticated heart encounters the storm of youth, it will also give birth to a yearning for conciseness.
* The twisting mind can also affect the child's behavior. Yang Mingbiao's son lived in middle school and was reluctant to go home, because he didn't agree with his father's philosophy of local tyrants. Liu Xiangxiang's son Guo Ning carefully prepared a bilingual squad president election speech in Chinese and English, but encountered first-class harassment from competitors and failed. And Liu Xiangxiang's daughter Guobao shared the candy with her friends to eat, which was described by the parents of her classmates as "bribery"...
Indeed, parents are the child's guide to action, and the child's life will follow the acquired lessons of childhood. Parents' wrong words and deeds will definitely be reflected in their children's deranged words and deeds. But on the other hand, children retain their innocent and natural nature, and they are always nourished by public order and good customs.
Guobao's so-called "bribery" is naturally nonsense. However, Guobao was indeed affected by the ** "championship doctrine", forcing the relay partners to practice hard in the first year of junior high school, and they "broke off" if the speed could not be improved. Of course, she also got the teacher's teaching: focus on participation, friendship first.
The stakes are high, and parents should be cautious in their words and actions in front of their children. Parents can learn a lot from their children. "Happy Parents Group" clearly reflects this two-way influence, which can't help but make people feel a sense of responsibility and responsibility.
In short, this drama presents the realities between home and school, between parents and children, between colleagues, and between husband and wife, and is a live fish caught from the river of life. The show follows the assumption of light comedy, where parents compete like a cat and a mouse, each of them does not give in when they fight face to face, they do not hold grudges after the battle, and the permutations and combinations start from scratch at the beginning of the next round.
Watching this drama, I have the feeling of being a parent of a first-grade elementary school student from scratch. Those communication tools that are always iterative and the worries and expectations that are always the same overflow from the screen hit the soul. Watching this drama is not tiring at all, it is also a pastime, it is also okay to eat, and the time is like a short ** that flows away inadvertently.
At present, the plot has progressed to 1 3, and the dramatic contradictions are only slightly exploded like a whip. Next, it's time for a big drama that involves both parents and teachers and soars in conflict. In this way, the advantages of long-form dramas can be highlighted, and the power of aesthetic heavy blows can be generated. Let's take a look.
