On the opening poster of “Ideal City”, Sun Li is the largest in the middle, and the other starring actors Zhao Youting and Yu Hewei shrink in order. In contrast, Yang Chaoyue, who has a lot of drama in the play, is squeezed in the corner and is so small that he looks so small. Unclear face. This poster conveys a powerful message that this is another major female lead starring Sun Li.
The so-called “big female lead drama” refers to a TV drama that takes the fate of a female character as the core of the story and takes female growth and love as the main line of the narrative. It has been ten years since Sun Li’s famous “The Legend of Zhen Huan”, the leading female lead drama has been prosperous for ten years, “A Thousand Bone of Flowers”, “Splendid Weiyang”, “Miyue Biography”, “Strategy of Yanxi Palace”, “Ruyi’s Biography”… Until this year, suddenly It got cold. Under such a general trend, the only actress who dared to support herself on the poster is probably only Sun Li. However, does her persistence to the “big heroine” still meet the audience’s expectations?
There is a line in “The North Zhe Nan Yuan” that makes it clear that celebrities compete for position, power and responsibility coexist, and whoever takes the lead will bear the ratings. Since its launch, the ratings of “Ideal City” have been very unsatisfactory. The ratings of “An Jia” starring Sun Li last year easily broke 2%. In contrast, the first week of “Ideal City” was still hovering at around 0.5%. It has been suppressed by the “Sweeping Dark Storm” broadcast in the same file, and the next trend is not clear.
The controversy after the broadcast of “Ideal City” focused on the rationality of the workplace. At the beginning of the story, Su Xiao, played by Sun Li, took the “Beautiful and Miserable” character, and within a day both career and love collapsed. The cement quality of the construction company was not good enough, and a major accident occurred in the tofu dregs project. After a group of male leaders shirk each other’s responsibilities, they decided to push her to be a “back-up man” and were expelled. Leaving the company, I wanted to plunge into my fiancé’s arms and weep bitterly, but unexpectedly found that the fiancé had a new love, and Xinhuan was the female leader of his unit. However, many cost engineers on Weibo posted comments and corrections, criticizing the screenwriter for not doing enough professional work, and it is ridiculous that the cost engineer should be held responsible for the safety accident on the construction site, and it does not comply with the regulations.
Next, Su Xiao’s misfortunes were like dominoes, one after another. Su Xiao can’t make any progress in the industry, and seeking a job is like groping on the edge of despair. She insisted stubbornly that she was right and should not leave. The superb working ability is Su Xiao’s last trump card. In the red dust under the mud and sand, it supports her correct three views and immortal ideals.
But in order to highlight Su Xiao’s work ability, the screenwriter created many unrealistic plots. For example, Su Xiao played 28 years old, graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology, and worked for only five years at his age, and has already crushed his peers in professional ability. The cost table she made not only easily defeated the industry leaders in the bidding, but also made the chairman of the construction group admire him. The general manager of the company who has been doing construction for decades suffers from the cost and waste that cannot be controlled. Su Xiao’s idea is easily solved with a few words, and the boss is shocked to her!
On the other hand, Wu Hongmei, Su Xiao’s classmate, graduated from the Department of Construction Engineering and took a postgraduate study in human resources. She has strong working ability, but she is often scolded by mediocre leaders. In Hai Piao, she and her husband live in a cramped rented house. They couldn’t make up the down payment when buying a house. There was no hope of holding a wedding. For the three-year salary during the Spring Festival, they were frugal when they returned home during the Chinese New Year. The screenwriter intends to use Wu Hongmei’s compromise to the workplace to contrast the brilliance of Su Xiao’s idealism, but it is Wu Hongmei who hits the hearts of the workers every minute. She is closer to the real existence in life and can arouse the audience’s resonance.
After all, the plot serves the role. Because “Ideal City” is essentially a leading heroine, the screenwriter must focus on conflict, adversity, aura, and achievements on the heroine, otherwise it will not be able to reflect the heroine’s struggle and growth, nor can it create a rebellion. The refreshing feeling of rising. Therefore, between sacrificing the rationality of reality and preserving the integrity of the heroine’s storyline, the screenwriter chose the latter.
