A big director is a big director. He is different when he shoots. The TV series is also very grand.
All-star cast, cinematic quality, advanced composition, everything.
But looking at the long white legs on the poster, the vaguely half-exposed breasts, and the seductive and provocative eyes, can you tell that the director is Feng Xiaogang?
"North and South"
Douban: No rating yet
The look on the poster will probably remind many people of director Guo Jingming's masterpiece - " "Little Times" TV series.
I originally thought that Director Feng would not do this kind of drama. After all, he has a big personality and is a serious person.
The plot synopsis on Douban says that the protagonists of this drama are five ordinary women who share an urban emotional story of establishing friendship, working hard in their careers, and gaining love.
I saw it, and these five are indeed ordinary.
The first one is You Shanshan (guest star Wang Luodan), a mysterious female boss who wears a brand name, sunglasses, and travels around Beijing in a business car.
People who don’t know her think she is in the arms business, because the money is so much that others can’t imagine.
He refused to accept the debt of five to six million yuan, and immediately bought the debtor’s widow’s shop.
There is nothing serious to do every day, just ride horses, hang out in various wine shops, drink coffee, and chat.
The place where I live is a park house with unparalleled views and large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Forgive me for my lack of words, but I have never seen a big house with so many glass windows facing the park scenery in Beijing.
Bao Xue (played by Lan Yingying) is a bit actor who lives in a large courtyard in the city center.
Dai Xiaoyu (played by Jin Chen), a master's degree returnee, was inexplicably attracted to the mistress at first. After returning to China, he participated in a wine shop and was favored by You Shanshan to do business together.
Housewife Si Meng (played by Pu Ni), a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University, became a full-time housewife.
My husband is a partner in an accounting firm and lives in a big house in the center of Beijing. He reluctantly lives here for the sake of his children.
She usually has nothing to do but write online articles. When she is short of money, someone buys the copyright of her articles and earns hundreds of thousands easily.
There is also a little girl, Feng Xi, who is a drifter from Beijing. She is indeed very ordinary. Her boyfriend is a Ph.D. and he will start a postdoctoral program three years later.
It happened that my relatives left a house when they went abroad. The house happened to be next to my boyfriend’s school, so I could live with my boyfriend.
What is not simple is that she does not have a serious job. She has been in Beijing for three years and has a deposit of more than 300,000...
What is even more awesome is that the three The annual deposit is 300,000, but it was all saved by stock trading...
This is awesome, are you speculating in US stocks that are hitting new highs every day? Old Chinese stock investors just wanted to shed tears after hearing this.
Bao Xue and Xiaoyu’s grandmother (played by Liu Xiaoqing) has a two-story single-family villa in the city center.
The old lady lived in a villa with a garden and an open kitchen. People outside could see the panoramic view of the villa at a glance.
Such a wealthy man who openly dedicates his life lives so selflessly.
The old lady herself said that she had worked hard all her life. When she was young, in order to save a meal for her husband, she drank soup and water by herself, and finally had a house (villa) to live in.
The old lady said that the houses outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing are cheap, but can I go there?
If you have a problem, it would be very difficult to go to the hospital...
Grandma Liu probably doesn’t know that many large villas outside Beijing’s Fifth Ring Road cost tens of millions. There are also many good hospitals. People who live in Huangchenggen shouldn’t be so contemptuous of people who live outside the Fifth Ring Road...
If Feng Xiaogang went down to earth to film a TV series, it would be great. It is the real life of his rich circle of friends. He forgot that he was once poor, and also forgot the theme of this drama -
"Encouraging many urban women to not forget to forge ahead in difficult times", "Exhibiting the various aspects of women's lives in urban struggle."
To review the theme, opening a restaurant is the main business of these five women, and it is this restaurant called "Northern and South".
But I insisted on watching eight episodes, and the restaurant Momojiji has not yet opened.
It’s not that they don’t want to open up, but the lives of these five women are always full of trivial accidents, all kinds of interruptions, endless.
In the tenth episode, the restaurant is finally open, which is great.
But one-third of the 30 episodes are already gone. Screenwriter, how are you going to handle this story?
The whole show is just chatting, chatting, wandering, arguing, and playing. I am really worried for the five female protagonists. You should hurry up and spread positive energy. Don't just talk. It's okay to just go and do whatever you want.
Oh, I'm sorry, I just remembered that I have already been rich, so why are I still struggling? Worry for nothing.
However, this drama is not without its highlights. There are some jokes in it that can be enjoyed, such as the gossip in the entertainment industry that everyone loves to watch.
Sister Hua (guest star Song Dandan) complains that she arranged for Zhang Yishan to be the male lead, but she was replaced by Xiao Peng (alluding to Peng Yuchang).
For a child as young as Xiao Peng, it is unreasonable to ask Chun Lei to play a supporting role for him.
Qian Xi, Haoran, and Huang Xuan all have works, but what does Xiao Peng have?
Isn’t he just a younger brother who fights against all odds? It’s a variety show, not a work...
There is also Huang Bo who plays Teacher Huang, who loves to play and doesn’t memorize Ci, don't read the script, don't act out.
The director (played by Feng Xiaogang) wanted to tell him a story, but was interrupted by Mr. Huang’s agent because he really didn’t have time. After filming here, he would go to Hengdian to shoot night scenes for other crews.
Entering the studio, Teacher Huang asked Bao Xue (played by Lan Yingying), an "eighteenth-tier young actor" who plays the opposite role, to briefly describe her emotions and content. She did not need to use any wording, and the emotions were brewing for a few seconds. The big names start the show and the digital prompter comes on stage.
We met again after a long separation, and it was very sad to mention the past. As a result, Teacher Huang said:
"One, two, three, three, two, one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, hook, pimple, Kai, fork..."
While talking, Teacher Huang also made a magical move, walked into the actress, and showed her big face in 360 degrees.
This made the director "admirable":
"Teacher Huang is so good at acting. For a while, the camera was always looking at him from the front, and the little girl in the back looked like the back of her head."
Sure enough, the back of the actress’ head successfully stole the scene...
I have to say that the prompter did a good job too.
When the love was so deep, Teacher Huang ran out of numbers and could match anything:
When the love was so deep, Teacher Huang forced the actress to turn around and pull the camera away. Return to yourself.
After the performance, Teacher Huang did not watch the replay, asked the agent to use "time is tight" to block the gun, and left the scene gracefully to go to other scenes.
In this drama, these are the only jokes left to watch.
Feng Xiaogang knows a lot and dares to speak out and scold him. After all, no one dares to accuse him of making up entertainment industry gossip.
But the whole drama is just a pot of jokes. The female protagonists can only tell jokes and act poor, which is completely opposite to the theme of women.
And the heroines can live a good life without struggling at all, so why should they have to suffer the burden of opening a restaurant?
Therefore, it would be more appropriate for the TV series to be renamed "Beijing Rich Women's Illustrated Book".
The lives of the protagonists in the play cannot be said to be suspended beyond reality. Perhaps Feng Xiaogang captured the real luxurious life of the rich, which seriously exceeds the imagination of us ordinary people... ..
