"Fireworks" is a TV series broadcast by CCTV during the Spring Festival, as a New Year's drama. There are also old drama bones and young acting schools to join, and "Fireworks Family" with a strong cast has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions since it was broadcast. I thought that "Fireworks People" would be popular, and it did come to the complaints of many netizens. As a TV series that reflects contemporary family life, it has attracted a large audience with its real, delicate plot and characterization. However, as the plot develops, some controversies begin to surface. This article will analyze the reasons for the controversy caused by "Pyrotechnics" and analyze the social and cultural background behind it.
First of all, the bloody plot setting and regional labeling involved in the show are one of the important reasons for the controversy. In the play, the relationship between several protagonists is complicated, and family conflicts emerge one after another. The moral concepts and ethical issues involved in these family conflicts resonated strongly with the audience. However, these episodes have also sparked some controversy. Some viewers believe that some behaviors in the play go beyond the moral bottom line generally recognized by society, such as extramarital affairs, cheating, etc. These behaviors are over-exaggerated and can have a negative impact on the viewer. Some of the plots are outrageous, linking feudal dross with the rural areas of Northeast China, there are stereotypes of Northeast China, and there is prejudice against Shanghainese people in the plot, this abuse of regional labels not only cannot truly reflect the state of life, but also easily arouses the audience's disgust. The issue of regional discrimination is too prominent to be repugnant.
Secondly, the social reality reflected in the play is also a cause for controversy. In the play, it shows various problems faced by contemporary families, such as marital crisis, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts, children's education, etc. These issues are hot topics of general concern in the current society. However, some viewers felt that the portrayal of these issues in the show was too pessimistic and lacked a positive attitude. This negative portrayal can have psychological stress and negative effects on the viewer. And Xu Fan's performance in the play is too exaggerated, making the original real and natural storyline seem a little deliberate and contrived, which disappoints the audience.
In addition, the cultural background involved in the play is also a reason for the controversy. In the play, several protagonists have different cultural backgrounds and values. The collision of these cultural differences and values is vividly demonstrated in the play. However, some viewers believe that there are stereotypes and prejudices in the portrayal of certain cultures in the play, such as criticism of traditional culture and blind worship of Western culture. These stereotypes and biases may cause dissatisfaction and disgust among some viewers.
To sum up, there are many reasons why "Fireworks People" caused controversy. This also reflects the audience's expectations for TV drama performances and their concerns about social culture. However, as a TV series, it also bears a certain social responsibility and educational function. Therefore, in the creative process, attention should be paid to balancing entertainment and education, and avoiding excessive exaggeration of negative plots and stereotypes as much as possible. At the same time, the audience should also maintain a rational and objective attitude, not blindly follow the drama, but draw useful thinking and inspiration from the TV series.
