"Little Joy" stills

  "Little Joy" ended, and Douban scored a high score of 8.3. This is a realistic drama focusing on the college entrance examination, family and parent-child relationship. The audience can’t stop watching it, but they are also worried. Even many people are abused to be angry: breaking up, unemployment, depression, depression, and jumping into the sea and getting cancer! What’s so funny about this play? Some netizens ridiculed that "Little Joy" should be renamed "Old Sadness". This reminds everyone of "Everything is Fine", which was popular in the first half of the year, and it also makes the audience angry: Everything is fine? Obviously it’s not good! Why is the realistic theme easy to become a "title party"? The two hottest explosion dramas in 2019 so far are all realistic themes. Why have they all become "title parties"?

  Should Little Joy be renamed Old Sadness?

  And "Everything’s Fine", all of which are "title parties"!

  Netizens rated the two most deceptive titles of this year: "Everything is OK" and "Little Joy"! A week before the closing ceremony, the netizens who followed the drama vomited why the drama was called Little Joy, "Breaking up, unemployment, depression, depression, and liujing was sick", plus Eiko jumped into the sea at the climax of the whole drama, and three families jumped. What’s so happy about this? From the beginning of the play, several children in grade three are facing a series of life problems: family, study, hobbies, university, parents … … All kinds of contradictions and entanglements, but what the audience has been seeing for more than 40 episodes is still the anxiety of three families: Song Qian played by Tao Hong is the most controversial "controlling mother", and her husband’s betrayal made her put all her hopes on her daughter, which led a good girl to escape and resist by skipping classes and lying, and finally the contradictions broke out: Eiko was depressed, jumped into the sea and wanted to escape; Fiona Fang, played by Huang Lei, is a model warm dad. However, their husband and wife are both unemployed in middle age, their son doesn’t like studying, and they have a second child in the college entrance examination year. Liujing, the most gentle and quiet, first faced the couple’s "airborne" in his son’s third year of high school, and just made reconciliation with his son in various frictions but suffered from cancer … … God, every family is full of problems and tired! Because the original story is darker,Therefore, until the last episode, the audience was on tenterhooks: afraid that liujing’s cancer would die, afraid that Lei Er would not be admitted to Tsinghua, and afraid that the setting of the second child would go back to the heart-wrenching ending of "Pi of Youth" … … Some netizens "warned" screenwriter Huang Lei: If "Little Joy" fails, send him to "Chinese Restaurant" to cook for Huang Xiaoming!

  While "Little Joy" was teased by netizens and changed to "Old Sorrow", many netizens also associated it with "Everything’s Fine", which caused a heated discussion among the whole people in the first half of the year. I believe everyone still remembers the plot: all the men in the family are experts, the eldest brother is a good old man who muddles along, the second brother is a violent mambo, and the old father Su Daqiang made flowers in heaven. After all kinds of tossing and hurting, the netizens were once desperate.

  The audience broke their hearts for Lei Er’s dream of Tsinghua.

  Director: "Joy" is like "Looking for candy in the glass"

  On the night of the finale, "Leier’s mouth shape" remained high in hot search. Why? It turned out that when the audience found that Lei Er said, "Although I was admitted to Tsinghua and realized my mother’s dream, physics is my dream", the lip-synching didn’t match! Wen Jie’s mouth should say: "Lei Er, you are already great. Although you didn’t get into Tsinghua as an undergraduate, you can get into Tsinghua as a graduate student and Tsinghua as a doctor. You still have a chance!" This passage was later re-dubbed, that is to say, the audience didn’t want the sensible and excellent Lei Er’s dream to fail, and the screenwriter changed Lei Er’s ending in order to make everyone "happy", which broke the heart from the production team to the audience.

  Why do people care so much about whether Lei Er has been admitted to Tsinghua? This is also the reason why everyone is "worried" about the title, just as the netizen left a message saying: "Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory, only a little joy." The reason why "Little Joy" is popular is "poking the real pain point", and the audience feels the same. At the end of "Everything’s Fine" and "Little Joy", the children all like to mention the university notice, so why do the audience still complain about the "title party"? Because the process is too "heartfelt"! How realistic is this play? Huang Lei, the chief screenwriter, said frankly: The screenwriter doesn’t have to make it up, because everyone is around you. My screenwriter writes plays around me, and I tell them who is who one by one. As for the title of the play, he said with emotion: "The joy of China’s family lies in enduring, having fun after passing one level, passing a small level in the senior high school entrance examination and passing the college entrance examination. Because we are facing a background of great anxiety, we must find ourselves a little joy in this environment. " Director Wang Jun also explained the "title party" in the finale, "Life is like looking for candy in glass, and every grain is precious … … I hope this play will let you put aside some bitterness and anxiety for the time being and taste every sweetness that life has given us. "

  Compared with the sweet pet drama Xian Xia, a good realistic theme is that people often look at their own lives when watching the drama, so it is bound to be painful and uncomfortable, and then while spitting, cheering for Lei Er and Yingzi to be admitted to a prestigious school, and also crying for Su Daqiang who reconciled with his children.

  Good realistic drama, they are the biggest joy:

  A good actor can add drama and oil to his role.

  Whether it’s Little Joy or Everything’s Fine, there is a particularly interesting phenomenon: the audience has a very high degree of discussion, and the controversy about voicing is of course due to "empathy", but there is another point that is particularly important: a good actor is not only the prerequisite for the establishment of a realistic drama, but also the biggest "joy" in this industry.

  Tao Hong is the most discussed actor in A Little Joy, because his performance is so good that many netizens shouted to Xú Zhēng: Tao Hong belongs to everyone, and Tao Hong should be allowed to film more. In fact, Hai Qing and Yongmei, including Huang Lei and Yanhui Wang, all performed very well. However, due to the problem of role setting, Tao Hong and Sha Yi not only played the role alive, but also "upgraded" the role. Many viewers said: Song Qian and Qiao Weidong would definitely be scolded to death if Tao Hong and Sha Yi didn’t play them! Some people on the Internet commented that Sha Yi "has a simple old father’s breath, is kind, funny, and has no aggression, and he can also grease the role with his own ability". The role of Qiao Weidong is actually a greasy love rat, but Sha Yi has given this role a silly, unintelligent and funny sense of joy, which makes the audience hate it. Tao Hong’s performance of Song Qian is extremely suffocating, but Tao Hong’s performance is quite hierarchical and life-oriented, and it is somewhat delicate and touching, which makes people unconsciously stand in her position and understand. In the scene where Eiko watched the movie, she temporarily changed the script to add her own understanding, and finally was cut into the promotional film.

  Similar scenes can refer to Su Daqiang. The stalk of "I want to drink hand-ground coffee" is a play that Dahong Ni temporarily added. As a result, it became a classic expression pack. Su Daqiang was timid, cowardly and selfish, but Dahong Ni used his own understanding to resolve the outrageous characters, which made everyone suddenly see Meng! As a result, Su Daqiang became an independent IP. Su Mingcheng is also an annoying character, but Guo Jingfei actually performed a lovely thing besides the hatred of Ma Bao-nan … …

  A good actor can add drama and oil to the role, and the better and more realistic the actor plays, the more realistic the drama will resonate with the audience, which is why the audience is entangled in the "title party": they are too much like our life! So we want to see a happier life! However, Little Joy and Everything’s Fine just broke through the "story" of the previous family dramas, exposing family of origin’s scars and anxiety in the family of entering a higher school. The main characters have shortcomings and are even unpleasant, which makes the audience feel "abusive" and "uncomfortable", and at the same time, they are grateful for their little joy.
