The domestic drama “Crazy” is a new term coined by a recent reality drama. The urban drama “If Running Is My Life” is currently on the air. In the drama, there is a plot where the heroine becomes disabled and her husband cheats on her husband. However, the plot describing the cheating is “overdone” in many places, so that it was criticized by the audience for being “high-spirited”. .
“If Running Is My Life” seems a bit “atypical” in terms of plot and characters. Although the show also has a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, the heroine An Xin changed from an aloof and aloof dance teacher to an amputee after a car accident. disabled people. Such plots of ups and downs are obviously not common, and the changes in human nature after major changes have become the focus of this drama. In the play, An Xin’s husband Qin Feng reappeared many times. First, he vomited instinctively when faced with An Xin’s stump, and then unexpectedly stuck to his feelings and treated An Xin as always. Just when the audience thought this was a eulogy of love. In the episode, the gentleman Qin Feng had just won the title of “Advanced Person” with his wife-loving character, but he quickly cheated on her with a female colleague who had a similar temperament and couldn’t wait to cheat on him.
The plot that the audience complained about as “crazy” and “eye-catching” is also concentrated in this part of the plot. In order to portray Qin Feng’s duality, the series used a lot of words to describe the plot of cheating. Qin Feng’s cheating female colleague was also ridiculed as “the third child” by many viewers. They thought this character was old and ugly, which was really annoying. Puzzling. In the plot, Qin Feng’s mother also kept “complaining” and despised her son’s choice with extremely mean words. These lines and plots have become the favorites of “hot searches” and have been frequently forwarded by short video platforms, becoming the weird “famous scenes” of this drama.
If you have not watched the show and only watched these individual bloody scenes, it is indeed easy to misunderstand “If Running Is My Life”. “Disabled wife”, “cheating husband” and “eye-catching third party”, these strange elements are so dense that it is difficult not to make people question why a drama that claims to reflect social reality would focus on presenting and highlighting these contents.
In addition to the storyline of An An’s husband cheating on her, the series also unfolds the parent-child relationship between An An and her mother, and the parent-child relationship between her cousin Ruohua and her mother. In other storylines, Ruohua’s younger brother Ruoxuan, who was originally an Orsay genius, also died suddenly due to a car accident. Ruohua’s mother Xiuli, who was originally patriarchal and extremely controlling, began to control her daughter’s life. In this relationship, Xiu Li’s extreme desire for control is also full of “hot search” plots, such as living in her daughter’s college dormitory to accompany her to study, and using extremely utilitarian words to persuade her daughter to commercialize herself and “choose a son-in-law” “. This kind of extreme plot line that focuses on the original family is not uncommon in domestic dramas in recent years, but the strange mother portrayed in the drama has once again surpassed the “height” of the past, and it can be said that she does everything possible.
However, domestic dramas never blindly present “evil”, and this drama is no exception. How tragic the protagonist’s beginning is, how happy the ending is. According to the advancement of the story line, the relationship between mother and daughter, no matter how antagonistic, can be reconciled. The disobedient daughter will eventually discover the good intentions of her old mother, and the heroine An Xin who suffered betrayal will be “reborn” with new love after the divorce. “. In the 28-episode plot, the story takes 15 episodes to show the “misery” of the characters, and another 13 episodes to turn and repair. Fortunately, the reversal process of the plot is not too rigid, and the protagonist An Xin has always been independent. Self-improvement supported her later scenes of being physically disabled and strong-willed. In the play, the characters of An Xin’s mother and Ruohua’s mother are also relatively fleshed out, and the change in the parent-child relationship can be considered well-founded.
A reality drama that was originally praised for establishing a new independent image of women has become a “hot search drama” for topic marketing. The “wrong interpretation” in it exactly reflects the common problems in the era of “double-speed binge watching” and “explanatory drama viewing”. Most of today’s audiences cannot watch the drama in its entirety. Many people rely on short video clips to understand the plot, and the “famous scenes” that can be listed on the “hot searches” also come from the “abnormal” content in the plot. . If “If Running Is My Life” is judged based on the content of the entire drama, the drama definitely should not be called an “epileptic drama”. However, in the face of new audience groups with new viewing habits, the creators of the drama When creating, should we consider that these bloody plots may be “re-created” and over-interpreted? The creation of drama series needs to keep up with the mood of the new era at all times, rather than just being creative. Looking up and taking a closer look at the current audience’s perceptions and feelings may also reduce the existence of such misunderstandings. (Li Xiazhi)
