Speaking of rural dramas, the most influential similar work in recent years should be " Love of Mountains and Seas ".
Although "Mountains and Seas" was launched on Star Satellite TV when it premiered in 2021, the response it received was not high, and the ratings ranking for the same period could only hover between 3rd and 5th.
It is precisely this kind of TV series with low response and mediocre ratings that won the "Drama King of the Year" achievement.
Is it the credit of the hero and heroine?
The answer is obvious, no!
"Mountains and Seas" relies on the wonderful performances of powerful actors and the comprehensive display of rural characteristics.
However, no matter how good a work is, it will eventually come to an end, and this work is no exception.
So, when can we watch another work like this?
Tonight, a 40-episode rural drama " Happiness Comes to Thousands of Homes " is launched. It will be broadcast on Star TV and Beijing TV, and 10 powerful actors will be invited to help out. Can it become a hit?
Generally speaking, the drama has many similarities with "Mountains and Seas", such as rural dramas, satellite TV, powerful actors and so on.
Some people may say after seeing this: "Don't compare, you can't compare."
But I believe that if you read the following introduction, it may change your mind about "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes".
Let’s first look at the story of this 40-episode rural drama.
1. Inspirational growth of women
He Xingfu married in Wanjiazhuang. On the day of their wedding, his sister was insulted by the person who was "arranging a marriage". In desperation, he injured the "arrangement person".
Although it was later learned that the "marriage quarrel" was the son of the Wanjiazhuang village party secretary, He Xingfu was not afraid. Moreover, He Xingfu's husband's family was treated unfairly due to the construction of the factory in Wanjiazhuang, so she dared to confront Wan Shan Tang. go to court and receive reasonable compensation.
Later, He Xingfu and her husband went to the city to work, and their life was difficult. This caused rifts in their relationship, constant quarrels, and problems in their marriage.
After He Xingfu experienced many incidents, he returned to the village to develop tourism and led the villagers on the road to wealth. In the end, she won everyone's respect and became the leader of Wanjiazhuang.
The play is adapted from "The Legend of Qiu Ju".
It can be seen from the synopsis of the story that it contains scenes from the movie " Qiu Ju's Lawsuit ". Whether this story can be successful or not, we have to see the real story in the TV series.
In addition, many female-themed TV dramas will choose women in a specific period, such as pregnancy, married life, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, etc.
However, the drama "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" is very comprehensive, including the entire process a girl goes through from ignorance to maturity.
2. 10 talented actors support
1, producer Cao Ping
As the "most awesome" person behind the TV series in recent years, she can be included in the list of talented actors because of her unique vision and strong operational ability.
Most of the works she has done are both well-received and well-received.
's representative works are " Golden Wedding ", " Mi Yue Zhuan ", " Meritorious Service ", etc.
2, director Zheng Xiaolong
Although there are not many domestic drama directors who can "compete" with Kong Sheng , among the few directors, Zheng Xiaolong must be counted.
According to incomplete statistics, 11 of Zheng Xiaolong's TV series have received ratings of 8 or above.
's representative works include "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Peking Man in New York", "The Gift of Tu Youyou", etc.
No matter what kind of drama, no matter how wide the span is in Zheng Xiaolong’s hands, the film will be very attractive.
In addition, Zheng Xiaolong not only serves as the director this time, but also takes on more tasks for this drama, because the production company of the drama is "Chunyu Film and Television" under his name.
3, screenwriter Zhao Dongling
In 2014, Zhao Dongling worked with Cao Ping and Zheng Xiaolong.
The 60-episode TV series "Red Sorghum" they collaborated with won more than 10 awards in one fell swoop.
In addition to receiving numerous awards for TV series, his work as a screenwriter for movies is also fruitful.
won the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award 's "Best Screenplay Award" for "Walking to School" in 2004.
Teacher Zhao Dongling is already full of interesting things, and this time they collaborate again, which instantly raises the audience's expectations.
4, Zhao Liying
Zhao Liying was one of the most ratings actresses in China as early as 2015.
In the play, she plays the heroine He Xingfu, a rural girl.
However, she has contributed many high-quality works to the general audience since her debut, but she has not been able to win high-quality awards. Compared with her previous works, she subverted her image and played a rural girl this time, perhaps to win awards.
If she really comes here for the award, then she will definitely do her homework for this role and I believe she will have a very good performance.
5, Liu Wei
Liu Wei has 39 years of "acting experience". As an experienced actor, he can serve as the male lead in the play, which gives people the first impression of stability. How stable is
?
You can watch Wei Yan, who he played in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", He Dahai, who played in "Year After Year", and Sun Yuhou, who played in " Ordinary World ".
General, farmer, husband, each different role can produce different chemical reactions in the audience's hearts through his performance.
6, Tang Zeng
became popular in 2012 when he played Zhao Tianliang in " Educated Youth ".
He expressed the innocence and determination of the character very wonderfully. Even the director Zhang Xinjian was full of praise for the role he played.
plays the role of He Xingfu's husband this time. He has a simple and honest character, timid and fearful of getting into trouble. I believe that Tang Zeng's interpretation will have a unique flavor.
7, Luo Jin
Luo Jin played a role in the play that he was particularly afraid of playing, a lawyer.
However, Luo Jin's acting skills are becoming more and more stable now, and he is deeply loved by the audience.
This time, Luo Jin joined as a special guest star in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes". He was not the lead or the starring role. He was specially invited by the drama team.
Zheng Xiaolong must also be a fan of Luo Jin.
8, Friendly Starring
Because there are three friendly stars in the play, namely Wang Zhifei, Song Guilun, Chen Wei, so I will talk about them together in this entry.
Wang Zhifei and Song Guilun are both "national first-class actors", and Chen Wei is also a veteran actor.
To put it simply, friendly acting is when the show invites friends to star in roles for free or at a low price.
Incomplete screenshot
To sum up, the 7 cast and crew members in front of and behind the scenes plus 3 "friendly actors" can be said to be a good lineup. With the help of these 10 powerful actors, the lineup of the show is as powerful as any other. Competition for two TV series.
3. Can "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes" become a hit?
Many people are skeptical about whether this drama can become a hit.
Before the series is aired, let’s analyze where the hit point of the series is.
First of all, the drama is full of tension;
For example, the heroine experienced an unpleasant incident on her wedding day.
In normal life, everyone’s wedding day will be the most beautiful moment in their life. If ordinary people encounter unpleasant things on this day, most of them will solve it with the attitude of "make big things smaller and make small things smaller".
But the upright He Xingfu picked up the bench and smashed the "marriage seeker" to death. This unpredictable plot is very tense. To put it more bluntly, it is to give the audience "a good show to watch." .
In the play, Wan Shantang, played by Liu Wei, kicked Wang Qinglai (played by Tang Zeng) in the crotch in a fit of rage. The scene where the victim fell to the ground in pain was also very impactful.
Because this type of content originates from reality-themed TV series rather than martial arts movies, it has more dramatic tension.
Secondly, Zhao Liying has subverted her image;
As we all know, Zhao Liying has shown excellent acting skills in her works in recent years, but in the eyes of many viewers, her business ability and popularity are still not directly proportional.
Then, whether she can handle the role in this realistic rural drama will naturally become a focus of attention.
"Can" and "Can't" are the breaking point of the play.
Finally, women grow up;
The audience is used to seeing the "growth stories" of urban women. This time, a story about rural women is performed, which makes the drama even more exciting.
Because it is not uncommon for rural women to work in cities nowadays, this drama may be more down-to-earth and resonate more strongly with migrant workers.
With the above three points, the intense drama content, the actor's "road to promotion" and the down-to-earth perspective, I believe that the drama will definitely become a hit.
4. Conclusion
The TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses" has a super production team and has formed a cast of "old drama masters + young actors". Coupled with the story of Gao Li, it is not difficult to become a hit.
As a viewer, do you think this drama can become a hit?
