Seriously ungrounded, or restore life?

　　Feng Xiaogang's new drama triggers "suspension" controversy

　　The famous director Feng Xiaogang's web drama "Northern Ruins" is currently on the air. The drama is very popular, but it is not well-known, and the score is only 4.7 points. The biggest controversy comes from the audience's criticism of the "suspension" of the plot.

The audience thinks the show is "ungrounded" and is a representative of "the rich man's play".

But Chen Ping, the screenwriter of "Northern Ruins", does not agree with the "suspension" statement of the play. She said that the stories and characters are all derived from real stories around her, and they all have prototypes.

Is the play really "suspension" or is it the story of a niche circle that the general public cannot resonate with fans and creators.

　　Unable to reach agreement

　　"Beijing Nanyuan" tells the story of five women harvesting growth and love during the process of jointly establishing the "Beijing Nanyuan" restaurant.

In the play, the five women have different personalities, different experiences, different circles, different occupations, and different identities, and their social relationships cannot be achieved. However, with the help of the strong woman Yu Shanshan, they opened a restaurant together. As a bond, weave the urban life of five women living in Beijing.

　　After the show was broadcast, the audience's controversy also came. The biggest controversy was that the show was "unreal" and "ungrounded."

Some people think that Feng Xiaogang's heroine drama is "different from the real life of urban women"; some people think that Feng Xiaogang no longer understands the lives of ordinary people; some people think that this drama has people but no story, and the petty bourgeoisie talks about it; some people think that this drama The story of women in Beijing circle is seriously outdated.

The main points of complaints about the play are: First, there are only rich people in this play, no poor people. The exquisite and rich life makes the plight of women lose its persuasiveness. The creators no longer care about the anxiety, disappointment and hardship of young people in the office building; The emotional levitation of women in this drama is unreal and artificial, because in a city like Beijing, it is more difficult for women of different levels to have friendship than true love; third, the narrative structure of Feng's lines to promote the plot makes the story loose and the plot is The story is poor.

　　The controversy about the suspended "rich man drama" mainly focused on the specific details of the drama, especially the character You Shanshan.

You Shanshan is the link that connects the five women. She is a figure with her own golden fingers. Money matters are the last thing.

She lives on a large flat floor of a few hundred square meters in Beijing. She drives an imported car, and she has avoided tens of millions of debts from friends. Although she is in charge of many companies and has huge assets, she is not busy at work and has a leisurely mind and spare money. "Big sister is big", helping fellow villagers who only have tens of thousands of dollars to make money in stocks, and also forced a few sisters to open restaurants.

The other female protagonists can find jobs with their mouths or at the dinner table. They either live in a Beijing courtyard or in a big house. The little performers live comfortably, and the housewives don’t have to worry about real estate or assets. , And can easily earn 200,000 yuan in draft fees through writing.

Some viewers said that under such a "personal design", the emotional conflicts that the screenwriter and director forced the heroines, the troubles of housewives, and the troubles of wanting to become stars have become light and pretentious.

Solving these women's problems by getting together to open restaurants is even more a cliché and outdated story.

　　Faced with the audience’s feelings about the five females, Chen Ping, the screenwriter of "The North Road" said, "Some netizens say that I don’t understand life. I think it’s ridiculous, because in reality, I’ve been together with a few sisters. A restaurant was opened near Ritan Park. I personally experienced all the things I experienced in the play. Although in reality the restaurant turned out to be dirty, I asked Yu Shanshan to save it in the script.” Netizens said. The characters in the play are too "show off their wealth." Chen Ping said that in recent years, film and television dramas have made Shanghai magnificent, stylish and atmospheric, but Beijing is a small alley and a party room, which is always messy. The idea at the time was Can you make Beijing more beautiful and fashionable?

"Northern Ruins" has taken Beijing beautifully, but many people are not happy.

Regarding Yu Shanshan, the character Space Hole and a tool man in the play, said that in reality, her best friend opened 6 companies. During the epidemic, she was trapped in Japan and couldn't return to her country, so she made 6 million yuan in stocks.

Just like You Shanshan, she doesn't have to sit in the office every day, and is even more righteous and generous to her friends. Even she herself says that she knows nothing except to make money.

Chen Ping believes that the characters in the TV show that live in courtyards, flats, and drive luxury cars are all reasonable settings, and they all come from prototypes in her life.

　　Works can't satisfy

　　The real needs of the audience

　　In the past two years, "suspension" and "pseudo-reality" have become a new term and a new ruler for complaining about and criticizing TV dramas.

"Floating" and "pseudo-reality" are used to criticize reality-themed TV dramas, and realistic-themed works should most pursue the authenticity of artistic creation techniques.

　　With the increasing number of TV series on the workplace + love structure in the past two years, criticisms of TV series "suspension" and "pseudo-reality" have also become the mainstream of film reviews.

The People's Daily once published an article "Beware of the Suspended "Pseudo Reality" TV Series", which attracted great attention.

The article pointed out that some "pseudo-reality" TV dramas are filling the numbers. "For example, in "The Negotiator", the negotiation skills that should have become the core of the plot, and professional ethics have become the embellishment of the love festival. The protagonist can negotiate in a few words and lacks persuasiveness. It's still a routine plot." This article believes that many realistic dramas are suspended in reality and in human nature.

There are also many comments that in a large number of urban reality dramas such as "Elite Lawyer" and "Mr. Love", the characters are set with facial makeup, the luxury cars, brand-name clothing, and the false mansions and luxurious office scenes in the dramas are not real. Reflecting the life of the urban working class, it is a typical "suspension drama".

　　Some netizens believe that "Northern Ruins" cannot be judged by the fact that it is unrealistic, suspended or suspended, as long as it finds it interesting, you can follow the drama.

But from the perspective of ordinary audiences and art critics, it is completely possible to use the scale of "pseudo-reality" to measure and evaluate the urban women's drama "The North Wings", because this drama really focuses on and presents the current women's marriage and love. , Parenting, career and life pursuits.

The audience thinks the show is "suspended" because it is filmed under the banner of women’s dilemma. In fact, the filming is "the happy life of the rich". The rich come out of the rock and lack struggle. The mental journey of becoming a rich man.

The wealthy women written by screenwriters are too casual in the eyes of the general public, and their way of solving problems is also very "play house", and it is difficult for the general public to resonate.

　　But for people in the creator circle, the characters and stories in the play do come from their real lives.

So the question is, why is there a situation where the audience and the creator are not in agreement with the show?

The key issue is that creators write stories from the perspective of wealthy people. They live in an environment of studying abroad, prestigious schools, adequate real estate, and good family backgrounds, but they have to face the plight of ordinary people. The two cannot be integrated and self-consistent.

In domestic and foreign dramas, the lives of the rich have always been cold-eyed and even criticized, but "The North Ruins" attempts to normalize the special plight of the rich.

The controversy over the "suspension" of "The North Zhe Nan Yuan" is inevitable and unsolvable.

What the audience needs are real-life dramas that are completely grounded. The creators write works that are familiar and topical, and are entertainment products guided by consumerism.
