As far as professional experience is concerned, Hawick Lau's career is divided into two parts-TVB's walk-on period and the mainland's absolute protagonist period. On the resume of Hawick Lau, he participated in the masterpieces of TV dramas made in Hongkong, such as Genesis, You Are Happy in Ancient Costume and Fashion Edition, Forensic Records and so on. However, in this kind of program, Liu Kai is very likely to play the roles of the hero's dispensable brother, the heroine's ex-boyfriend, a walk-on guest, etc .. So, it was quite his father at that time.
After marrying Yang Mi and entering the mainland market, Hawick Lau's life entered the fast lane. Since 2004, the number has doubled, and the overbearing president has been standing all the way from family ethics dramas such as Sunset Snow in Qianshan, Thousand Tears and Mother-in-law.
Although the overall score has passed the passing line, it is only one tenth, but the number of people and the popularity of characters have reached expectations!
After the divorce, Hawick Lau was more or less influenced by the "luminous script" incident, so she deliberately reduced the number of starring roles and works in recent years. This time "This is Life" is estimated to have taken a lot of time to invite his rare works in three years to be the leading actor.
Therefore, because of financial problems, this is a big-name star that life can't afford except Liu Kai. Therefore, the overall production is tense, and many places have strong advertising endorsements. In addition, in many other places, the whole is not just a "magnetic levitation" idol drama on the production platform, but almost a bit fantastic, family ethics workplace drama!
The plot design of "This is Life" is a masterpiece, which combines Ye's hard work in the workplace, his love with Guan Yihe, the overbearing president, and the constant running-in between the two families as a child of a reorganized family and a child of a single-parent family. Later, because of the rule that "employees in the same company are not allowed to fall in love and get married", they had to adopt the policy of hidden marriage and hidden pregnancy to save their work and marriage. ...
The whole process is a large collection of family ethics drama themes, which has both traditional emotional elements and innovations suitable for the hardships of the current workplace. Originally very inclusive and creative, but it may be completely disrupted by the rhythm of time and space behind!
The first four episodes of This is Life went very fast. Ye was almost possessed by a dying god, and was trapped by the script all the way-divorced from his parents, refused to apply for a job, and his marriage fell apart for several years. I was also rushed to the company by the current girlfriend of my derailed boyfriend, and finally passed the customs. He was drunk, arrogant and rude, which offended the direct leader. ...
All the bad things in the world have been met by her. In order to transfer, Ye can only be released to cultivate new agricultural projects according to Guan Yihe's idea. So I gave a lot of opportunities to get along. In the four episodes, the relationship between the two people is actually very clear.
This speed, in previous idol dramas, is that the situation is quickly clear. However, the play has 40 episodes. If we follow the current rhythm of this drama, it is very likely that many unnecessary plots will be added in other aspects, completely disrupting this smooth rhythm!
Routine overbearing president sometimes stupid and sometimes cabbage, this swaying plot setting! Moreover, the problem of script rhythm is second, and the audience is more concerned about the actor's intuitive mistakes. After all, the CP sense of the two stars is a bit weak, and the age gap is a bit big!
In Hawick Lau in 1974 and Chen Douling in 1993, the age gap between the two male and female stars can only be compared with whitehairpin and Lu Yi in "Love Me Don't Think Too Much" and "Just Meet You at that moment" by grandpa Chen Jianbin and whitehairpin next door.
In order to balance the age gap between the two leading actors 19, Hawick Lau was filmed as young and Chen Douling as mature. This intention to narrow the age gap is good, but unfortunately all the efforts of the stylist have been ruined by the people in the story!
Well, "This is Life" has a good original intention, and it records the "real" state of the life and work of white-collar youth with a life-oriented lens!
Unfortunately, no screenwriter was invited, and a behind-the-scenes screenwriter was used to create in the hotel behind closed doors. Therefore, a life drama called "Real Life" is full of the texture of idol drama.
The overbearing president is ok, but the silly and sweet is the screenwriter's pot! There is not much problem with Hawick Lau's hero setting, even because he has been playing the design of such a white-collar elite and overbearing president, he automatically adds points to his role-Guan Yihe is the most perfect male design, although he is in a high position, but he relies on the female host-at first, he criticized his subordinates and knocked over other people's files, all of which are routine people's designs;
Single all the year round, single-parent family, mother is a warm-hearted but complacent idle woman who introduced him to the marriage partner-so the stem of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first laid the groundwork; Then, it is almost the same as other overbearing presidents-there is a lackey who listens to everything, and many fans who are loyal to Yan value, fascinated by wealth and fascinated by his personality are drooling over him ... Such a person's design, Liu Haozhi, who stepped down from "Sunset Snow in Qian Shan", basically doesn't have to play, and his muscle memory is naturally completed!
However, the heroine brought by Chen Douling is quite indecisive and vacillating in the script-because it is difficult to define whether she wants the heroine to be a white girl in the workplace or a fine girl in the workplace.
If the workplace is white, it is obviously not established to let her enter the job smoothly. Now that the story has been successfully employed, she should be a small elite in the workplace. However, will the real elite in the workplace tear up the "third person" in the office? Will you make a big fuss about this? Such a female host is obviously an idol drama-style brainless little white.
All kinds of pure white innocents who show their faces in front of the leaders, although drunk as mud when riding, wake up every second when they are sent home ... I try to break the writer's forehead while suspecting that this silly white sweet may be a natural Bai Lianhua-you really don't have any life experience, and you just daydream every day. I cann't believe I made up such a retarded story. This is human nature.
The plot is actually very floating and routine! The above problems of the actors are exaggerated by the writers, but we will find that the overall plot actually follows the routine of the idol drama in Taiwan Province Province twenty years ago-although living in the present world, it has experienced a thousand-year grandiose routine.
First of all, the family is very conventional. Guan Yihe is a single-parent family. My old mother is eager to recruit a daughter-in-law every day, but as an expensive old lady, the leisure form is square dance. Ye's family is in trouble. Dad is a rock singer's temper, so my mother chose to divorce and reorganize her family when she was a child. Therefore, Ye also has three parents. And all three parents like to give advice on her love life.
A woman who vacillates in her own position needs to be influenced by three elders, plus a single mother who is eager for her son to get married and have children to carry on the family line. The four parents have complementary personalities, and dozens of family ethics dramas can be assembled.
Secondly, their professional experience is very floating. We don't know any scope of work of several leading characters. They are white-collar office workers, but they have to go to the countryside to do orchard development in person. After coming back, we talked about financing and enterprise integration. Are these people busy with finance or industry?
Then, people are very disobedient, and the configuration inside is very routine. Guan Yi and the vice president around him must be his chief strategist. Ye must compete with the dearest young lady in the group. Ye Xiaobai must have a unruly and willful sister, who will poke holes in her later life ... Not only are there many routines in the workplace, but there are also ambushes in family ethics dramas!
The plot is distorted, the characters are in a bad state, and people can't watch it. Moreover, the narrative rhythm of this film "This is Life" is also problematic. The emotional explosion points of its early ambush were too dense and incredible, which formed a dense offensive in which the audience was dumbfounded. Then, after experiencing this series of Ye's tragic experiences, the audience will resent the long-winded stories behind them, which are originally running-account narratives. Without the basic plot turning point, the problems of drama conflict and climax will be highlighted by the audience.
Therefore, it is estimated that the word-of-mouth behind this film will collapse faster and harder!
