I think a lot of people already know that.
A new domestic family drama has been broadcast on CCTV called "Fireworks People", which has been broadcast for many episodes.
To be honest, I didn't really like the show "Pyrotechnics" at first. Although it was broadcast on CCTV One, judging from the previous publicity, both the cast and the plot story seem to be not as attractive as "South to North" and "The Case of Tang Di Gong".
A large-scale period drama, gathering many old drama bones, and the cast is enough to make people look forward to the potential of popular dramas. Another costume suspense drama also invited powerful actors such as Zhang Jiayi and Zhou Yiwei, and the lineup is also quite impressive.
However, what is striking is that it is surprising at first glance.
* After two episodes of "Pyrotechnics", I seem to have found a treasure.
This domestic drama "Fireworks People", although the cast is ordinary, makes people admire the superb acting skills of the actors.
The plot of this urban family drama is very rich, and the dramatic conflicts are frequent and tight. The first two episodes started with a solid heartbeat, and I was immediately drawn into the story.
After it aired that night, it was still not satisfied after 2 episodes, and then it was 4 episodes in a row on the platform. But even after 4 episodes, I still felt that it was not enough, and I didn't stop until I caught up with the latest 8 episodes.
After the show was launched, not only did I like it alone, but the ratings also soared. It was launched for 3 days and won the national ratings championship for 2 consecutive days.
What needs to be known is that this achievement was achieved under the attack of "South to North" and "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty", which is really not easy.
Moreover, the ratings are very good, and the feedback from the audience is quite good. At a glance on Douban, you can see that several pages are 5-star praise. The words that the audience commented on the drama "Pyrotechnics" the most are "realism" and "pyrotechnics".
During and after the Chinese New Year, we photographed the current state of life of young people, with the main aim of resonating.
Li Yijin, a girl who has always been well-behaved and obedient, made a bold decision on the occasion of another Spring Festival: she no longer went home for the New Year, but chose to go to her hometown in the Northeast to spend the Spring Festival with her boyfriend. This also represents an attitude she has towards her boyfriend.
Li Yijin took a taxi to the market in the countryside of Northeast China, she stuck her head out of the window, and the bustling market made her deeply feel the unique life atmosphere of the Northeast region. The fresh air made her look forward to the next journey.
However, before she could step into the threshold, reality suddenly struck her.
Her boyfriend's grandmother blocked the door and told her that her eldest grandson and Li Yijin did not agree and were not suitable to be together. If you want to stay together, you must cross the brazier today and remove bad luck.
Wow, the new daughter-in-law has not yet begun to adapt to the new environment, and she has already encountered difficulties. Li Yijin is from a big city, and she has never experienced such an atmosphere since she was a child, and the sudden problem also caught her off guard.
However, now that she has arrived here, she has been prepared in her heart, gritted her teeth hard, and finally took that step.
This is not the end, winter is coming, forced to drink, and being pointed at the nose and humiliated, what was originally a good year was a mess. Bad things are always three, Li Yijin looked at her boyfriend's house as a mess, and she was standing alone in place, feeling extremely depressed.
Every New Year, the family has to go to visit their grandmother, which is a routine tradition, and no one can be absent. But this year, she was under tremendous pressure, and she didn't even dare to pick up the ** call from her mother, secretly concealed her parents and grandmother, and quietly came to her boyfriend's house.
The current situation is really bad enough, not only offended her parents, but also hit a wall with her boyfriend, and she was in a dilemma, and she had a quite failed Spring Festival this time. This is the opening plot of "The Pyrotechnics", and although there are only two scenes, the dramatic conflict is already very fascinating.
Li Yijin accompanied her boyfriend back to her hometown, and here is the scene of her mother and grandmother celebrating the New Year. The separation between the north and the south, the contrast between cold and warm, instantly formed a dramatic conflict.
The filming of these two scenes is very exciting, accurately interpreting the connotation of the phrase "home is a weakness, but also an armor".
To tell the truth, after the first two episodes of "Fireworks", we don't care about the actors' performances for the time being, just comparing the changes before and after these two New Year's scenes is enough to be fascinating.
I don't know how you feel, but I personally think she accurately portrays the scenes of different families celebrating the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, young people are always urged by their parents to get married quickly.
In some villages, some traditional customs that young people have not yet fully adapted to during the Chinese New Year are still retained.
Spending the New Year in the city, although it is a bit deserted on the surface, seems to have everyone's own rhythm of life, giving people enough space and leeway. And in the countryside, the Chinese New Year seems more direct and real.
Of course, the most important thing for the Chinese New Year is family reunion, and the plot of Qiao Haiyun waiting for her little granddaughter to come home is still warm and moving.
Although Li Yijin's farewell caused her mother Meng Mingwei to be angry, when Meng Mingwei saw her daughter come back in disgrace, her face was full of distress.
Grandma Qiao Haiyun is even more warm, she listens to her little granddaughter's grievances, stretches out her arms, and warms her family with a loving heart.
The story of "Fireworks People" revolves around the joys, sorrows and sorrows of Qiao Haiyun's family, the New Year reunion is just the beginning, the real contradictions that need to be solved and the challenges of daily life have just begun, and the real trouble is still to come.
Every family has changed after the Chinese New Year.
Li Yijin's marriage problem is the main contradiction in the eldest daughter's family.
According to the development of the plot, there are major problems in the relationship between Li Yijin and her boyfriend, and it is not easy to completely repair it. At this critical moment, Meng Mingwei's mother appeared on the stage, and she was worried about her daughter's marriage.
First, Xu Fan
In the play, Xu Fan plays the role of Meng Mingwei, which is quite interesting for this setting. Although she is the boss, she is not Qiao Haiyun's daughter; Moreover, she was born lame, which gave her an extra layer of labeling. The whole drama revolves around this character, which is truly amazing.
Once this setting is mentioned, needless to say, everyone should be able to easily resonate with Meng Mingwei, after all, he is not biological, and he has flaws, so he naturally has no status in this family.
When she returned home for the New Year, she was the eldest son and very busy, but once she had a non-biological child, it was a bit like bullying. And the second child does nothing, verbally calling Aimei, but in fact it is more like bullying people.
Meng Mingwei inexplicably developed an inferiority complex because of the defect of lameness, so she was emotional as soon as she appeared. Xu Fan also appropriately grasped this point.
She looks forward to her daughter's growth, which is why she keeps nagging and lamenting. This expectation is as much as it is for herself. Her daughter is her support and her confident support at home.
Meng Mingwei expressed her helplessness when talking to her daughter, and the sudden pause aroused people's sympathy.
Objectively speaking, maybe Meng Mingwei didn't look like a popular parent at first, but it was this inexplicable hesitation that made you immediately understand the difficulties of your parents.
When it comes to Xu Fan's awesomeness, it only takes a few opening sentences or nagging to get you deep into the character. In the dialogue between Meng Mingwei and the second child, she complained in a low voice, and she could quickly outline the inner world of the character.
She may be a woman who loves beauty, if she does not have low self-esteem; Maybe it will be an enlightened parent, if there is no inferiority; Maybe it will be an enviable mother, if there is no inferiority.
Second, Song Chunli
Qiao Haiyun is the character played by Song Chunli in the play, she is the elder of this big family, and she has made a rule: she must go home for reunion every Chinese New Year, and this rule has lasted for many years.
In this year, her eldest granddaughter went to the other party's hometown in the northeast for the sake of her loved one, which was the first time she disobeyed the family rules, which annoyed the old lady. Despite this, the old lady still loves her granddaughter dearly.
Song Chunli is already an experienced veteran actor, and she is comfortable in playing the role of a grandmother.
In the opening drama "The World" in 2022, she once played a similar role to "Our Days".
Her role in the movie "Our Days" is simply a model of a good Chinese grandmother, especially the person she plays. When her grandson was sick, she worked tirelessly to take care of her, even if she was wronged and starved, she did not hesitate to protect her grandson.
Until the last moment, that person fought for his family, and did not release the burden in his heart until he was dying.
Song Chunli shows the personality characteristics of different characters with her skillful acting skills, and what is impressive is her grasp of the details of the performance.
In "Fireworks People", Song Chunli is not only comfortable in line performance, but also familiar with facial micro-expressions. In the play, many of the actors who play against her are like teachers looking for students, and they are completely under her control.
Third, Ma Sichun and Li Xiaoran
According to my personal observation, the performance of Ma Sichun and Li Xiaoran can be called stable and reliable. Compared with the powerful actors Song Chunli, Xu Fan and Liang Jing, these two actors are slightly inferior, but they have not affected the overall performance.
Looking forward to Ma Sichun and Li Xiaoran's further improvement in the next performances, there is still room for improvement in the overall performance.
In addition, the performances of powerful supporting actors such as Liang Jing, Liu Jun and Li Chengru are also very good, and they frequently show highlight performances. In short, almost all the actors in "Fireworks People" performed wonderfully.
Conclusion:
The story is wonderful, the plot conflicts are layered, and the actors perform well.
Once again, I strongly recommend this "Fireworks People" to everyone. If you're interested in similar genres, don't miss it. I'm sure you'll come back and thank me after reading it!
Finally, I wish you all a fun and worry-free work in the new year!
May you enjoy the rest of your holiday to the fullest!
