There are more and more sister-brother love models in the entertainment industry.
In the love variety show "Falling in Love Again", Wang Ziwen and his boyfriend Wu Yongen successfully held hands and contributed most of the popularity of this variety show; the love story of "top actress" Zhang Yuqi was exposed, giving up the middle-aged wealthy businessman and choosing the idol born after 1995. The topic of #Zhang Yuqi and Li Bingxi, the sweet pet article of sisters and sisters in the entertainment industry# has become a hot search on Weibo.
In the drama space outside the real world, there are "Holiday Warm" by Yao Chen holding hands with Bai Yu, "Good Times and Beautiful Times" by the singer and the anchor junior, and the upcoming "The Law of 28 of Love" and "We Who Can't Fall in Love", etc. In dramas such as "Perfect Relationship" and "Youth" that do not focus on falling in love as their main purpose, there are also popular side plots of sister-brother relationships.
The discussion on sister-brother relationship in the public opinion field is also gradually increasing.
The male and female lead Jing Tian and Zhang Binbin of "Sitong" have become popular because of the sweet interaction during the promotional period. Because Zhang Binbin calls Jing Tian "Tiantian" in daily life, he also created a new meme that "I don't call my sister in the year, but I'm a little wild". Netizens have put this law into many years of CPs such as Hyun Bin, Sun Ye-jin, Wu Lei, Di Lieba and other many years of CPs for verification, setting off a wave of discussions among sister-brother couples in the entertainment industry. The number of readings on the topic #No Call my sister in the year# has also reached 150 million.

From the perspective of the relationship between characters in domestic dramas, this is a clear progress: the object of the heroines on the screen finally came to the "brother" after experiencing the "domineering president", "warm male uncle" and so on. The heroines have advanced from "post-it-it-it-it-you-sweet love-brain" to "independent women" and "charming sister".
Not only that, in the screen presentation of sister-brother relationships, social conflicts around family ethics, social resistance, etc. have also decreased significantly, and more focus on the relationship itself has begun to focus on. Li Yinhe once published her views on sister-brother relationship at the end of 2019. She pointed out: We should not think that only the intimate relationship of peers is a high-level relationship, and intimate relationships that violate age norms are low-level relationships.
Therefore, in the view of Do Yin (ID: DomoreDumou), the rise of sister-brother love in domestic dramas is not only a reflection of female thoughts, but also a benign shaping of emotional relationships.
For a long time, in domestic dramas that emphasize age difference, "old husband and young wife" is the mainstream configuration.
According to statistics from Guyu data, in 2010, the proportion of love in the TV series in the year was as high as 80%, while the percentage of love in the year was only 16%. The annual love counted here is a general term, and all screen couples whose men are older than women are included.
Among them, the "old husband and young wife" has a deeper impression on the audience due to the large age gap.
Around 2010, the more representative couples in the year were Song Siming and Haizao in "The Snail House". In this drama, Song Siming is the mayor's secretary, 42 years old, the character profile of Baidu Encyclopedia is "typical successful person", while Haizao University has just graduated and is 25 years old. Song Siming provided seaweed with rich material conditions and felt safe with the girl who drifted in a foreign land with the Beijing girl. Seaweed has become a "miss" who destroys her family.
"Song Siming" and "Seaweed" in "Snail House"
Zhang Jiayi, who starred in Song Siming, has starred in three consecutive "Fall in the New Year" dramas. From "House House" in 2009, to "My Wife" in 2014, and then to "Mine" in 2017! "Physical Education Teacher", the woman is in her eternal early 20s, and the age difference between the two is over 10 years old.
But from the feedback from these three dramas and other love dramas broadcast at the same time, you can roughly feel the changes in the audience. Song Siming in "The Snail House" was the "dream lover" of girls for a long time. He was powerful, handsome, rich, and gentle and considerate.A netizen on Douban Hot Comment wrote, "Even if the power is excluded, it is unlikely that Song Siming will refuse in reality."
In the 1980s drama "The Real Man" aired in the same year as "The Wife Is a Post-80s", Wang Zhiwen and Li Xiaoran's CP popularity was not as popular as the siblings CP composed of Yu Feihong and Yang Jue. The latter is considered to have a more CP-like feeling, and thus gave birth to the derivative series "Little Husband".
However, it was 2017, "Mine! "Physical Education Teacher" made Zhang Jiayi's reputation in the "Uncle World" fall to the bottom. At that time, he was nearly 50 years old, and his partner actress was Wang Xiaochen, born in 1988.
The physical education teacher Mark, he plays, divorced in middle age and raised his 15-year-old daughter alone, but was pursued by the young girl Xiaomi and confessed her love. Some netizens on Douban complained that this drama is the "ultimate fantasy of a middle-aged greasy man."
"My! The extremely inconsistent old and young couple
The last love drama with splashes in the Chinese New Year was "Love Me Don't Think Too Much" which was aired last year. It was starring Chen Jianbin and Li Yitong, with a Douban score of only 3.3 points.
The age difference between the two in the play is 20 years old, and both the actual age difference and the visual age difference are much larger than 20, and the sense of incongruity is very strong when in the same frame. In addition, lines with strong father-in-law flavor such as "Men drink and women stop interfering", accurately stepped on the audience's minefield. Some Douban netizens commented, "It's hard to imagine that it's 2020, and there will be such a fantasy story about a middle-aged silly white and sweet rich man falling in love with Cinderella."

While the "old husband and young wife" are gradually becoming unacceptable, the sister-brother relationship quietly begins to emerge.
Compared with domestic dramas, Japanese and Korean dramas have felt the "charming" of sister-brother relationship earlier. The Japanese drama "The Sage's Love" aired in 2016 is still a love material edited by B station. The Korean dramas earlier included Lee Jong Suk's partner Lee Bo-young's "Heard Your Voice", and the 2018 "The Beautiful Sister Who Frequently Invites to Meals" further strengthened the label of siblings and brothers' love.
"Beautiful Sister Who Regularly Invites to Me" CP
Although the pace is a little slow, the focus of domestic dramas is also shifting. At the end of 2019, "You Without Secrets" starring Qi Wei and Jin Han was broadcast. The drama is remade from "Heard Your Voice", and its characters are also "heart-reading boy" and "female lawyer". The male protagonist Lin Xia, played by Jin Han, was even rated as "100% perfect little wolf dog" by Douban netizens.
What caused the theme of sister-brother love to start to trigger large-scale discussion was "The Next Stop Is Happiness" starring Song Qian and Song Weilong in 2020. In the play, Song Weilong plays a senior graduate who has a sweet love affair with He Fanxing, a white-collar worker in the workplace. The direction of the first half is more like a sweet pet drama, and the plot is called "Rocket" by netizens: the kissing plot appears in the second episode, and the fourth episode starts "drive".
In these two dramas, the younger brother became the male lead, while the "domineering presidents" in the year "retreated" to the second male lead.
, which is being broadcast recently, is also a configuration for the younger brother VS uncle. In the play, the second male lead Ding Jiayun is played by Hu Bing, and the first male lead Lu Jing is the junior of the heroine Liang Chen, with the age difference of five years. Many plot settings intentionally or unintentionally show the difference between the year and the year.
"Good Times and Good Times"
Director Qin Zhen mentioned to Du Mou that when the heroine Liang Chen was injured in her throat, Ding Jiayun immediately helped her contact the doctor and arrange the operation, while Lu Jing was more concerned about her mental state, silently accompanying her and helping her. "In terms of how to treat girls, Ding Jiayun is the result type, while Lu Jing is the companion type."
The male protagonists began to transition from "uncle" to "brother", and female characters are also changing simultaneously.
The idol drama "The Queen of the Dog" broadcast in Taiwan in 2009 was an early theme of sister-brother love, but the heroine Shan Wushuang's character is a "bad dog" with "high education, high income, and high age". The external image is "a leftover woman who cannot be married", and its essence is still a label display of women.
And in today's sister-brother love dramas, the label "leftover woman" has been abandoned. For example, in "The Next Stop Is Happiness", He Fanxing's label is "senior girl". Compared with his blind desire for love, it focuses more on the shaping of independent personality, and at the same time strengthens the age advantage of 30+ women. "A woman at the age of 22 does not have the ability to live independently, but at the age of 32, at least I don't have to choose between love and bread."
"The Next Stop Is Happiness" is quite popular
Women began to appear more as independent images. Such as Xu Yi, the star agent played by Yao Chen in "Holiday Warm", Liang Chen, the famous singer played by Xu Lu in "Good Times and Beautiful Times". In these dramas, most of the heroines have their own careers, do not rely on men, and have the ability to deal with workplace problems independently.
Why is it a sister-brother relationship?
The gradual increase in attention to sister-brother relationships is closely related to the rise of the "sister learning" trend last year.
Last year's drama and drama market had several most popular works related to "sister". "Thirty Only" brings 30+ women into the public's vision, and "Talk Show Conference" gives female talk show actors such as Yang Li, Li Xueqin, Yan Yi and Yan Yue space to express themselves. "Sisters Who Make Waves" variety show "Sisters Who Make Waves" has attracted the attention of many netizens to "Sisters".
corresponds to it, and the new generation of male actors born in the 1990s and 1995s, who provide enough samples of "brothers". A senior screenwriter told Du Mou that , these characters from new types of programs, can form new character adaptation relationships, which to a certain extent stimulates the audience's potential psychological need to watch the sister-brother relationship.
"Creation Camp 2021" has a large number of "brothers"
. From the creative level, these materials are also excellent nutrients. Screenwriter Li Yang told Du Mou that the "personality" part that variety show creators pay great attention to is a good material for film and television creators, because "variety shows can get audience feedback more instantly."
In addition, Li Yinhe mentioned that including the marriage squeeze caused by the imbalance of gender ratio, the increased economic pressure represented by high housing prices, etc., are all social causes of the emergence of sister-brother love. The "White Paper on Singles born in the 1990s" released by Zhenai.com at the end of 2019 shows that more than 70% of single men and women said they could accept siblings and brothers. She predicts that sister-brother relationship will be a trend in the future.
Changes in the social environment naturally contributed to the increase in the proportion of sister-brother love in the series. Data from Guyu shows that the proportion of sister-brother relationships in the drama increased by 12 percentage points from 2010 to 2020.
Returning to the female psychology itself, they also have a need for the emotional relationship in the year. This has also become an important consideration for domestic dramas when shaping emotional relationships.
Compared with traditional emotional relationships, in the sister-brother relationship model, women can feel both "needed" and "understood". Li Yang believes that this points to a certain need of women. Compared with partners who can help them solve all problems and impart the principles of life, they may want a man who truly understands, appreciates, and unconditionally expresses support.
"The Next Stop Is Happiness" The feelings of companionship
Li Yinhe also mentioned that men in siblings and brothers often have a "Oedipus complex", and women are also willing to take care of this "child", which is a factor in the popularity of siblings and brothers. These potential emotional needs of
These are the awakening of women's self-awareness. Li Yang mentioned that when she was chatting with young women, she found that young women now have stronger self-awareness, which is the underlying logic of sister-brother relationship. "For example, they would say that they want to make money first now, why should they find a man? The deep meaning of making money is to have higher social value in order to make more money, so in fact, women have higher requirements for self-worth."
Qin Zhen also believes that women now pay more attention to thinking, they will think about relationships and can make very decisive choices. As the number of such women gradually increases, preferences for the series will also change.
The subversion of traditional emotional relationships by sister-brother relationships also makes the audience feel fresh.
The male protagonists in "Year Love" are mostly flawless "superman". They are the wind and rain in the workplace, and can help the heroine solve all problems. They occupy an absolute dominant position in their relationships. Occasionally, some "squeamish" tricks can make the heroine devoted.
Once the "contracting fish pond" style president
But this kind of character is already a bit outdated. An obvious example is that the domineering president is no longer so popular, and sending cars, houses, or even fish ponds cannot attract modern women. Screenwriter Sima Qiao once mentioned in an interview with "New Weekly" that the current social trends are disgusting with the character of domineering, such as "worker" and "involved", so it is difficult to create a likable character of domineering now.
In the drama setting of sister-brother love, the relationship between the two parties also has a poor status, but the gender has changed, such as the leaders and subordinates in "The Next Stop Is Happiness" and "The Reasonable Life", the senior sister and junior in "Good Times and Beautiful Times", etc. has seen too many of the domineering president's thousand-layer routines to save the little white rabbit. This story of "gentle sister taming the loyal year of the dog" seems even more interesting.
"Sister-brother relationship may not necessarily defeat other topics, but seeking newness is the essential feature of this industry." Li Yang said.
Has the "domestic" sister-brother relationship progressed?
"domestic" sister-brother relationships are increasing, which seems to be a victory of women's thoughts, or as Li Yinhe said, it is the popularization of the "view of equality in love". But the truth doesn't seem to be the case.
Although there are many sister-brother love works on the market currently on the market and the number has increased slightly, in Li Yang's view, the theme of sister-brother love has not yet reached a node, and this "node" refers to the appearance of top works.
Take suspense themes as an example. Although there were previously works such as "The Undocumented Crime" and "White Night Chase", it was not until last year that "The Secret Corner" was hit, it was officially considered to have become a "popular" theme. Another urban drama screenwriter also told Du Mou that the increase in somatosensory number of sister-brother love dramas may not be the correct perception, but may be just because the top projects are more out of the circle.
This may be due to the lack of social acceptance. Li Yinhe pointed out that sociology regards the relationship between peers as the age norm of marriage, while the relationship between sister and brother is a kind of relationship that violates the age norm. Also, due to the inherent concept of a man with a young man, a sister-brother relationship is actually a "double violation", so it will be particularly eye-catching.
There are still this constraint even in the creative chain that precedes society.
Since the mainstream drama market currently does not accept the theme of sister-brother love in high enough, the creative port will also be subject to some restrictions. Li Yang told Du Mou that from the perspective of the creator, although he tends to express relatively fresh topics such as sister-brother love, if the series is regarded as a product, the market acceptance still needs to be considered. "Film and TV dramas are cooperation between multiple departments, and they need to consider the market and the audience."
Reviewing the works in recent years, this can be clearly noticed. In order to set up dramatic conflicts, most sister-brother relationships will encounter criticism from the outside world or resistance from the family. And this is not a creation out of nothing, it has its practical significance. text | Zhang Jiaqi There are more and more sister-brother love models in the entertainment industry.

Reviewing the works in recent years, this can be clearly noticed. In order to set up dramatic conflicts, most sister-brother relationships will encounter criticism from the outside world or resistance from the family. And this is not a creation out of nothing, it has its practical significance.
"The Next Stop Is Happiness" is considered to be a high and low end. Douban score dropped sharply from 8 points to 6 points. The reason is precisely because He Fanxing is worried about being discussed by neighbors and dare not disclose his relationship with Yuan Song, and he is swaying between Yuan Song and the second male lead Ye Luming. To a certain extent, these plots of
mean that although "sister-brother love" is being displayed more and more, they will still be labeled as "unconventional" by mainstream society and thus encounter resistance.
Li Yang also believes that mainstream social concepts and creation influence each other, and this is the process of "leaving chickens with eggs and growing chickens with eggs with eggs". The progress of the theme of sister-brother love is inseparable from the improvement of social acceptance. At the same time, film and television works will also have a certain impact on mainstream concepts. "Sister-brother relationship seems to be a big restriction at present, and film and television works are to lift some unnecessary restrictions on everyone's urban life."
, which is being broadcast recently, weakened the external contradictions from society and family. Qin Zhen told Du Mou that the drama will not involve family and ethical issues, because "love is a matter between two people." In the original setting, Lu Jing's grandparents and parents are in siblings and brothers, so the family environment is relatively open-minded.
"Good Times and Good Times"
The setting of sister-brother relationship in "Good Times and Good Times" is more of a service to the plot. The relationship between the senior sister and the junior promotes key plots such as encountering at school and presenting flowers at school celebrations. "The main focus is on some progression, change and collision of men and women's emotions. As for the topic of sister-brother love, it should not be a topic of conversation." Qin Zhen said.
Since no top works have appeared yet, the market has not given enough recognition. Li Yang believes that this is a problem that all new topics will face. The new theme of means that it must start with a small scale, so in the short term, the market cannot intuitively feel its influence, and it still needs some opportunity.
In addition to falling in love and siblings in the year, there is another type, which is "double strong". Although there are no clear definition standards for this type of drama, a rough look is that the status and ability of male and female protagonists such as the Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun" and the domestic drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" are relatively evenly matched, and the main lines of each story are all part of the category of double-strong dramas.
The Song Dynasty combination
Compared with sister-brother relationships, "double strong" is not the mainstream emotional relationship in society. Therefore, from a creative perspective, it is difficult to find a sample for reference. "Compared with double strong, the material for old couples is indeed a little more," Li Yang pointed out. "Materials are the biggest difficulty in creating, because all successful love stories must empathize with the audience, and cannot rely on the screenwriter to imagine it out of thin air."
Not only are there fewer samples of "double strong" relationships in real life, but it is also true in literary works. The number of novels in the romance classification of Jinjiang Literature City is about to exceed 2 million, but when it comes to the label of double strength, the first thing most people will think of is Ding Mo, the original author of "You Are My Fascinating Time" and "Beauty is the Filling". Most of these works were published before 2015, and after her, there were very few such authors.
In the final analysis, the real heroines as independent women have not yet formed a trend. When they projected into film and television dramas, they naturally fall into the rut of gender concepts.
In the existing works, the characters of both parties in "Sister-Brother Love" have gradually become uninnovated. "Independent women" transformed into "sexual transformation to domineering president", and the "brothers" could not escape the two labels of "little wolf dog" and "little dog". The complexity of human nature becomes flat on the screen, and "crazy sugar sprinkling" is the first priority. This is not only not conducive to the further enrichment of new themes, but also is not a real projection of emotional relationships in real life.
At present, in the matter of "talking about love", the trend of sister-brother love is an improvement in domestic dramas, and a new attempt to break out of the original framework, but it is far from enough.
Perhaps when age no longer becomes a tag, love in domestic dramas will be more like love.
