"Menghua Record": "Ancient Puppet" or women's independence?｜ Weekend talk

Summary

Weekend talk

Regardless of the original intention of the main creator, the success of "Menghua Record" is inseparable from its connotation and modern thinking.

On July 3, "Menghua Lu" officially ended. However, before that, the "true love fans" who sincerely chased the drama may have been out of pockets for a long time, and after watching the pre -on -demand, all the plots were watched. In fact, even if you don't spend this money, the overwhelming spoilers on the short video platform are enough to let people know the destiny direction of a dry role in the play in advance.

Looking back at this hot drama just broadcast, the plot has not yet fully launched, and many audiences have made the tone of Guan Hanqing's original work of "Save the Wind", and bought "Menghua Record" to promote the "concept of the concept of women's independence "Stocks" have become enthusiastic "tap water". Later, the whole drama had not yet been officially broadcast, but a lot of emotional "Menghua Records" "Dream Huamu" "high and low", under the guise of feminism to output Mu Qiang's concept and "Mary Su", "Mary Su".

Regardless of whether it is "close -up and praise" just broadcast, or "covering the coffin" without the play, it is essentially difficult to say that it is an objective and comprehensive evaluation. However, in literary reviews, the so -called "objective and comprehensive" is never necessary.

The audience's response to "Menghua Record" and social media views are not so much evaluation of the entire drama. The connotation of these evaluations has long exceeded the category of "good shooting" in the TV series, and has entered the field of how we examine the concept of creators and how to view social issues. To a certain extent, this is almost every one who is trying to penetrate the actual issues (and whether it is successful or not).

Back in the plot, even if several fans who lead the actors are the most enthusiastic fans, I am afraid that the reason why "Menghua Lu" was able to hit a hit, and it took it to "women's independence", "Girls Help Girls" with it. "The east wind of the social trend is closely related. Whether it is based on the "Save Zhang Miao Miao Dou Zhou She" adapted from the original "Salvation and Dust", or Zhao Pan'er's soberness and decisiveness of Ouyang Xu when he first arrived in Tokyo Prefecture, it has greatly excited the audience. Regardless of the differences between ancient and modern times, the "Declaration of Independence" for women's straight waist is a righteousness. In addition to the protagonist, Sun Sanniang, who is refreshing with the image of "killing pigs", has placed the "career heart" at the highest position, which also constitutes a set of symbolic and modern women. Group portraits.

In recent years, it has been the "big year" of female portraits. From "Ode to Joy", "Thirty", to "Northern Ruta" and "Love Love", works similar to the subject matter are endless. These works are fashion dramas, and they are trying to tell the true story of contemporary women. Each of them has attracted a lot of attention when it is broadcast, and some of them have achieved good reputation. However, in terms of emphasis and interpretation of the concept of "women's independence", they are compared with the opening of a "ancient puppet" like "Menghua Record". In this case, many audiences, especially female audiences, will naturally look forward to the follow -up of "Menghua Record". I hope that the main creative energy will go further and penetrate this expression to the end. In the ancient background of ancient times Speak a complete "modern fable".

Unfortunately, with the plot of "Menghua Record", these audiences gradually discovered that their expectations seemed to be out. I do n’t know if it ’s the problem of screenwriter's strokes or the problem. The more the plot is, the more concentrated the old -fashioned bridge section of the countless" ancient puppets "has long been used. For a while, the male and female protagonists were constantly cut and chaotic. The theme of the theme of women. In terms of roles, the skills are heavier than Zhang, who suddenly goes offline, and marry the husband to do "like a wife" to get rid of the cheap books; Feng Guanxia; even the absolute "big heroine" Zhao Pan'er, it is increasingly relying on the help of male characters in order to spend the difficulty ... such a variety, it is inevitable that people are somewhat doubtful: Is it still the same drama?

This is not to say that "Menghua Record" is not filmed -alone based on the "ancient puppet" standard. The "old routine" in the plot is also very natural for screenwriters and actors. On the Douban platform, even if it is said to be "high and low", "Menghua Lu" still has 8.5 points, which is the forefront of the national drama rankings. But in the eyes of those who look forward to seeing more and deeper thoughts, the second half of "Menghua Lu" means "wrong goods". Because of this, a large number of criticism and doubts emerged on the Internet.

In the face of such doubts, the explanation given by the main creator and "drama fan" is that ancient people have the limitations of ancient people. We should not require ancient characters with contemporary standards. In terms of literary creation alone, this explanation is unreasonable. However, not the creative goal of each costume drama is to reproduce the real ancient society, and "Menghua Lu" is not a film and television drama that focuses on "restore history".

Regardless of the original intention of the main creator, the success of "Menghua Record" is inseparable from its connotation and modern thinking. The difference between the plot before and after "Menghua Record" is like one foot of the main creator stepped into modernity, but the other foot stayed in ancient times, which caused uncoordinated ideology. Those who maintain this drama emphasize that the plot and the "reality" in accordance with ancient times are the reasonable plot logic. However, in the eyes of those who are dissatisfied, expressing the creative theme in a unified and self -consistent way can be considered as a matter of creative logic. The two very different perspectives determine the word -of -mouth division of "Menghua Record". It is difficult for us to say which side is more reasonable than the other party, but this has made a wake -up to the creator of the subsequent script -whether it is to "please two sides" or to compromise because of business purposes. , Weaken its intensity of the real world. When telling a story and conveying some kind of thought, the creator must also think clearly: what he wants the most, can you implement your goals in creation to the end.
