Why don't campus dramas shoot graduate students? The outrageous reason made people laugh and cry
Everyone must have some unforgettable memories of their college youth, those dream stories that invade our hearts. In these stories, many desirable fantasy plots revolve around the student population.
Have you noticed a peculiar phenomenon: the classic plots we are familiar with tend to take place in high school, middle school, or college, especially centered on high school students, but it is almost impossible to find college youth dramas that specifically depict college students. This can be an unusual but thought-provoking phenomenon. Why is that?
Why do college-themed TV dramas never touch on the lives of graduate students? A passerby revealed some regrettable reasons. Recently, a netizen asked a meaningful question: Why do youth dramas never touch the lives of graduate students? After all, adolescence is best enjoyed in high school and college. But if we look at it from a different perspective and try to paint a picture of life in the two or three years after graduation, it may also show an interesting side.
However, this bold idea was immediately refuted by the proposer himself. If you think about it, in graduate school, you have to face endless literature, endless group meetings, and the heroine is assigned an esoteric research topic by her supervisor, the literature is full of mathematical statistics that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and you also have to use translation software, but you are not sure if you fully understand.
If you think about it carefully, if you make a TV series with a graduate theme, the plot will definitely be full of embarrassing scenes. At every group meeting, the heroine is reprimanded by the mentor, while the male protagonist is often uninterested in his subject and has no interest in a piece of literature, making fun of her all day long, causing the mentor to focus on the two of them.
What was supposed to be a beautiful idol drama and a dreamlike plot turned into a hero and heroine asking each other here:"Have you read literature? If you don't look at it, you'll be reprimanded. Unlike other youth dramas, whether in high school or college, the image of the hero and heroine is positive. Only the hero and heroine of the college student fell into a half-dead mental state.
The most frightening thing is that this drama is also associated with the deputy role of a senior sister who is a doctoral student, who has a headache for the publication of ** and watches ** alone in the office. After listening to this, it seems that this TV series has lost its appeal and is more painful than experiencing your own life, what is the point of watching this TV series?
Maybe that's why idol dramas never involve graduate student life? If we let graduate students play the leading role, we may see two images of chubby dudu who are troubled by ** and academic research.
They don't have time to fall in love, they have to have group meetings when they are reminded, they have to change their reports, they have to be trained if they don't make progress, they have to work for their mentors, and in the end they can only receive a meager allowance of $600 per month.
What's even more bizarre is that a graduate student who represents an idol received a ** from his mentor when the two were on a romantic date. The mentor asked him if he was in **? You can only be forced to interrupt this beautiful plot. Perhaps there is also the question of whether the screenwriter can really stay true to the experience of graduate student life.
Perhaps, in the end, the story they wrote was a gushing fantasy based on scientific publications, which completely ignored academic ethics, and the graduate students were even more angry when they read it.
It's no coincidence that creative works on the subject of graduate students are relatively rare. In the field of education, we can often enjoy a variety of campus works, but the creation of graduate works seems to be relatively scarce. The reason for this phenomenon may be that the number of graduate students is relatively small, and like doctoral students, it belongs to a special minority stage. Compared to other stages of education, graduate life is clearly more specialized and unique.
Graduate students are immersed in in-depth academic research, and their academic background and knowledge are relatively broader, which may require a deeper understanding and more professional performance from the creator. This has led to creators gravitating towards a broader and more general group of people when choosing topics, with a relative neglect of the graduate student community.
What's more, the life of a graduate student is filled with a variety of careers. During their academic careers, they must devote a great deal of time and energy to research, experimentation, and writing. This leaves them with little time to participate in a romantic love story, let alone bring it to the screen. Due to their busy academic schedules, many graduate students don't even have time to fall in love.
Showing the theme of graduate students as full of elements of youth idol dramas obviously does not conform to the true tone of graduate students' careers. The graduate career is more centered on the depth of knowledge and academic professional development, which is different from light idol dramas.
Although there are relatively few postgraduate-themed works, that doesn't mean the stories of this group aren't worth telling. Perhaps, future creators can depict the graduate student community in a more realistic and profound way, presenting a more three-dimensional and richer educational world to the public.
