Zhang Jiayi should be regarded as one of the few actors in the TV drama industry who can carry the drama. Almost all of them are well-known small hits. There is a joke that a group of actors squatted to pick their own masterpieces, Zhang Jiayi didn't move, why didn't he pick it? Because all of his ministries are masterpieces. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show Zhang Jiayi's strength in the TV drama circle.
If his work doesn't make a splash, it's rare. This rare thing really happened to me.
The new drama "Happy Parents Group" has been online for a few days without any discussion. It's probably going to pounce. Judging from the content of the episode, it is actually not unjust. Because there are too few viewers who can resonate with the characters. To put it simply, as an urban-themed TV series, the audience of "Happy Parents Group" is too narrow. This is a work that is suitable for all ages. The "Happy Parents Group" is narrow on this "Parents Group".
The series tells the various stories of students' parents because of the WeChat "parent group". Hot knowledge, WeChat only existed in 2013, not to mention WeChat group chats. In other words, the "parent group" must be a school-age parent in the past ten years to understand this and resonate with this play. The average age of childbirth in the country is about 28 years old, and it is calculated according to the fact that the child goes to primary school at the age of 6, which means that at this stage, only the audience in the age range of 34 and 44 years old can best understand this drama. Those younger than this will be confused, and those older than this will be at a loss, which directly makes it difficult for people to enter the play.
This is the flaw of the audience perspective. From the perspective of the play, there are also many problems with "Happy Parents Group". Judging from the current update of seven episodes, it is too single in terms of the design of the dramatic conflict. In this episode, Xiao Liu pushed Xiao Xiao, and the teacher called the parents. In the next episode, the pony campaign class cadre is said by his classmates to bribe everyone, and the teacher calls the parents. In another episode, Da Liu beat someone in the class, and the teacher called the parents. ··
To sum it up, it is a sentence, children have conflicts, and teachers call parents.
Regardless of real life, how incompetent the head teacher is, he will call the parents for any trivial matter. Once, twice, three or four times, the chief choreographer has such a bridge, and the plot is like a nesting doll, and the screenwriter is really not ashamed to make it happen. The screenwriter of "Happy Parents Group" has only two brushes in total, one is the conflict between children, and the other is the conflict between parents in the "parent group".
In this episode, parents are fighting in the group over ordering school uniforms. The next episode is when parents fight in the group because of the election of the parent committee. In another episode, parents fought over how to help the teacher in the group. ·· This kind of repetitive and cumbersome plot is really a bit like some unscrupulous authors cheating on manuscript fees. Further, the argument has to have a result. But the problem that often arises in this play is to raise a dispute and then settle it. The most obvious is in the plot of the election of the head of the parent committee. Lao Liu, played by Zhang Jiayi, is particularly puzzled by Gao Yuxuan's mother's desire to become the director of the parent committee.
Call ** to all the parents, build a small group to form a gang, and discuss with others in private... and so on, just to become the director of the parent committee. What is Gao Yuxuan's mother? Don't say that Lao Liu is incomprehensible, the audience is also curious. was waiting to see how the story would go on, but after Gao Yuxuan's mother became the director of the parent committee as she wished, Lao Liu's previous incomprehension suddenly disappeared, and what Gao Yuxuan's mother wanted was directly left behind by him.
The series doesn't plan to go deep into this matter, and everything is like it never happened.
Why Gao Yuxuan's mother tried her best to become the director of the parent committee has become a mystery.
To put it bluntly, this is to suck the audience. not only sucked the audience, but also treated the audience as fools. The school is going to hold a sports meeting, and Gao Yuxuan's mother, who is willing to be a parent committee, assigns work to the parents, you go to buy fruit, she comes to boil mung bean soup, and he is a photographer...
As a result, on the day of the sports day, the school did not allow them to bring their own food, and they were specially equipped with photographers, and everything that parents worked hard to do became useless, and the news teacher was notified in advance in the parent group.
None of the parents saw it, the reason was that it was all established by Gao Yuxuan's mother, and there was no communication with the teacher's parent group, so they didn't see the teacher's news at all.
The screenwriter intended to let the audience see Gao Yuxuan's mother's incompetence as the director of the parent committee. But this is clearly the behavior of ignoring the head, before the teacher casually posted a circle of friends, parents have liked and commented, the teacher said a word in the group, and the parents were eager to pick up ten sentences.
How can you convince the audience that there are dozens of parents, and none of them see the teacher in the real parent ** notification?
As the old saying goes, you have to have a conscience.
Such a screenwriter, it is really not an exaggeration to say that he has lost his conscience. In addition, let's talk about the rather dark humor in the play.
Zhang Jiayi's daughter-in-law in the play was played by Chen Hao, who was semi-retired from the circle. Wang Xiaochen plays a new single mother who lives next door to her husband and wife.
One night, Wang Xiaochen knocked on the door and wanted Zhang Jiayi to do a little favor, and after leaving, Chen tasted good, "Do you guys all like that big beauty who is white, has big eyes, and has long legs?" "Liu Xiangxiang, pay attention, you are already the father of the child. "Don't be distracted, I'm not done yet."
Is it reasonable? It may be reasonable to change actors to play it. But what happened to Chen Hao was the biggest unreasonable. Then again, is "Happy Parents Group" really useless? Yes. The love of parents for their children in the play is portrayed well enough. Take the first year of junior high school mothers as an example. The episode shows more than once that the mother of the first year of junior high school has no opinions and is only submissive.
The first parent-teacher meeting, I was so nervous that I kept asking the parents in front of me; Before the start of school, the child's stationery was incomplete, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and she couldn't take care of cooking for the child; If there is a problem with the customized school uniform, I don't dare to send a message to the teacher... The mother of the first year of junior high school gives people the feeling that she is still a little girl and needs to be protected by others. But there is a scene, but the mother of the first year of junior high school has changed her style. That scene is almost all the content that has been broadcast so far, and the only time my mother has had an emotional outburst.
Xiao Chuyi was pranked by her classmates at school, telling her that first-year freshmen were not allowed to go to the toilet, and the child peed his pants without holding back. After the mother of the first year of junior high came, the other party's mother not only did not apologize, but also mocked Xiao Chuyi, "My son said it jokingly, she took it seriously, a living person can suffocate urine to death, you don't know how to use your brain." The first mother's emotions exploded in an instant, slamming the table angrily and screaming hoarsely, she must make the other party apologize.
When her daughter was bullied, this mother, who usually looked a little "incompetent", suddenly became tough. In addition to surprise, it was full of sighs. The greatness of mother's love is self-evident. There is also a scene, when the first day of junior high school participated in the sports meeting, my father did not come to the scene in time because he had to take care of his mother who had burned his feet. Seeing that other children were accompanied by their parents, Xiao Chuyi was very disappointed.
Seeing that the baton was about to reach her, the father of the first year of junior high school finally appeared and shouted cheers for his daughter. That's not where people are moved.
The father of the first year of junior high school is still holding an ipad in his hand, and inside is the ** connection with the mother of the first year of junior high school.
Even if the mother's foot is injured and she can't come to the scene, she has to cheer for her daughter's game by **. is a small gesture, but it shows all the love that parents have for their children, which has to be praised. It is naturally its advantage to be able to put these East ** in a plot that is not deliberate, but that's all, this is the only highlight of this play. The masterpiece next to it is flawed. "Happy Parents Group" is different, it is a piece of jade full of "flaws", and the dotted "Yu" can only be seen with a magnifying glass. For a drama of this level, it is natural for Zhang Jiayi to be ineffective, if he can really bring it up, it is the joke of the national drama.
