On February 5, the TV series "Young Master and Me" was launched on iQiyi in 3 episodes and officially premiered. The two leading actors in this TV series shined in the second season of "Annual Comedy Contest". This time, the drama version of "The Young Master and Me" does not take the comedy route, but a story in each episode, each story, trying to tell the audience a truth. It's a risky thing to do. 
The content of the 3 episodes at the beginning is quite a bit of "Chinese Strange Tan". In 2023, the cartoon "Chinese Strange Tan" will also tell a story in each episode, especially the beginning of the episode "The Summer of Little Monsters", which is very out of the circle. Let's take a look at the content of the first 3 episodes of "Young Master and Me" first. The first episode of the show is about a showdown between a dumpling chef and a food critic, and the two pretended to be garlic for a long time, but finally didn't eat dumplings. The final basis of this story is that a hungry food critic is brought a plate of dumplings by Xiao Liuzi. Food critics praised it after eating it. Xiao Liuzi told him that this was just a plate of dumplings bought casually on the side of the road for the night. 
This episode is still quite interesting. is similar to "The Summer of Little Monsters" in "Chinese Strange Tan", both of which have a stunning start, and the first episode of "The Young Master and Me" tells a story of "commenting on the theory of relativity", which is considered to be in-depth. Of course, content like "The Summer of Little Monsters" talks about the embarrassing fate of ordinary people who always appear in the form of cannon fodder, which is a great concern for the bottom and is related to everyone. In the first episode of "The Young Master and Me", the "relativity theory" of the dumpling chef and the food critic, it is impossible to establish a relationship with ordinary people. The episode of dumplings can also be regarded as the relationship between film and television drama works and film and television drama critics. Many times, some criticisms from film and television critics can determine the "life and death" of a film and television drama. And the creators of film and television dramas are obviously not satisfied with this lightweight decision. So, there was a tug of war between the creators and the commenters. This kind of tug-of-war has nothing to do with ordinary audiences. Therefore, the beginning of "The Young Master and Me" was not opened. 
The second episode of "The Young Master and Me" tells the story of the land god and the lazy man. The slacker inadvertently helps the land god, who needs to fulfill several wishes of the slacker. The lazy man wants to sit back and enjoy his success, and the land god encourages the lazy man to do it himself and have enough food and clothing. This is the theory of relativity between industriousness and laziness. This theory of relativity has something to do with ordinary audiences. But the part of the story that eventually sublimates is a little weaker. The lazy man, with the help of the god of the land, became an industrious man. And this practice of the land god to train people to become industrious, rather than directly giving people fruits, violates the rules of heaven. Therefore, the heavenly court punished this industrious land god. Industriousness will not yield good fruit in the end. If this episode ends here, the show will have some off-string sounds. 
However, "The Young Master and Me" still lacks some strength, and I dare not take this as the final foundation. The final idea of this episode is that the lazy man got married, had children, and lived a stable life. This became a sketch-style finale of the party, which seriously weakened the sense of power of the episode. The relativity theory of industriousness and laziness has not been played well by "Young Master and Me". The reason is that the screenwriter lacks more advanced philosophical thinking. The third episode of "The Young Master and Me" is even simpler, telling the story of his brother when he was a child, and he missed his hand, causing his younger brother to pass away. For the next many years, the elder brother has been living in pain and self-blame, and the younger brother has been living in this painful memory of the elder brother. Eventually, the elder brother reconciled with the younger brother in his brother's memory. Film and television dramas with similar themes are overwhelming, making this episode more like picking up people's teeth. 
Based only on the content of the current 3 episodes, the temperament of "Young Master and Me" has the meaning of pursuing the taste of "Chinese Strange Tan". However, in terms of narrative ability, there is a very big gap with "The Summer of Little Monsters" at the beginning of "Chinese Strange Tan". Comedy creators must have compassion for the world in order to create works like "The Summer of Little Monsters" with the blessing of great emotions. Teacher Liu Zhenyun once said that many works are very interesting at the beginning, but the more you go to the back, the more you can't support the front, why? **The philosophical skills of the author and screenwriter teacher are not good. The problem with "The Young Master and Me" is also that the screenwriter's philosophical skills are not good. In every episode of this TV series, a "theory of relativity" theme can be come out, which is a good start, but in the second half of the story, the chain always drops, because the screenwriter's philosophical ability is limited and he can't think more deeply. It seems that the creation of TV series is ultimately compared to philosophical skills.
