When Tao Aiqing rushed to Lu Zihao's clothing press conference, she just wanted to tell Lu Zihao about the requisition of the Tao family farm. But the security guard pulled Tao Aiqing and refused to let her in, and Lu Zihao ignored her love. In desperation, Tao Aiqing was pulling and actually shouted in front of Lu Zihao's girlfriend,
: "You can't drive me away, Lu Zihao, I have your child."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Lu Zihao stood there for a few seconds and quickly pulled Tao Aiqing aside, "You make the words clear to me."
While waiting for Tao Aiqing to explain, Lu Zihao reviewed the experience of his and Tao Aiqing in his mind. It was impossible for him to get pregnant. Moreover, Lu Zihao's girlfriend Katrina is tall, thin, and has a good appearance. She is a recognized goddess. Tao Aiqing is short and ugly, and her dressing style and speaking style cannot be called "high-end". Lu Zihao thought to himself that even if he is hungry, he will not be able to happen to Tao Aiqing.
Sure enough, Tao Aiqing himself knew that he had said the wrong thing. He babbled for a long time but didn't say anything. I had to talk about the little horse hanging around my neck. This little horse was a handmade craft that Tao Aiqing snatched from Lu Zihao when he was in Paris.
"Do you still remember this little Trojan? You said it symbolizes our unique love."
"Didn't you say that it has been broken by you?" Lu Zihao shook his senses and solemnly discussed the little Trojan with Tao Aiqing in front of his girlfriend Katrina.
Katana got angry. She pursed her lips, her fists squeaked, and turned around and rushed into the locker room. At this time, Lu Zihao remembered his clothing press conference, hurriedly pushed Tao Aiqing away, and followed Katrina to chase him out.
"Katana, you can't leave now."
Lu Zihao yelled at Kaatana who had changed his clothes and was about to leave the backstage, as if the culprit of this farce was Kaatana, not Lu Zihao himself.
"I just want to leave!" Katrina looked up and looked angry. She stared at Lu Zihao's eyes as if they were as stars, desperately looking for traces of Lu Zihao's love for her.
How dare, as the boss of the design company, Lu Zihao is very proud and is not a person who is willing to give in to his girlfriend. In the slanting moment, Tao Aiqing, who was standing between Katrina and herself, "Don't think that these clothes are perfect only when women above 170 are worn. Let me tell you, women under 160 can still wear them."
Just like that, Tao Aiqing struggled to put on a dress tailored for Katrina, holding the hem of the skirt and grabbing her chest, like a child stealing adult clothes, funny and ridiculous. The staff on the side said worriedly: "Boss, she can't even reach an ordinary height. Can she really replace Katrina?"
If it is not an idol drama, the answer must be no. But the charm of idol dramas lies in the fact that ordinary girls become the focus of attention and have a different life after meeting the "prince".
In fact, most idol dramas 20 years ago have this model. The heroine's character is as ordinary as a speck of dust. The second female lead can surpass the second female lead in height, mind, or family background. But just like this, such an ordinary girl will be sought after by male gods and loved by the audience.
For example, in " Prince turns into a frog ", the Shan Junhao does not love Fan Yunxi , but is fascinated by the ordinary Ye Tianyu ; in "The Kiss of Pranks", the Jiang Zhishu is not close to women, but is attracted by the empty-headed Yuan Xiangqin ; in " Destined to Love You ", the Ji Cunxi will give up the swan-like beauty Shi Anna for the ordinary Chen Xinyi .
Why is this?
This article will take Wang Xinling’s version of “ Heavenly Kingdom Wedding Dress ” as an example to discuss this issue.
1. Plot logic
20 years ago, when we watched idol dramas, it was easy to put ourselves into the role. The girls at that time liked "magics" like "domineering presidents". It seemed that as long as he was by his side, they could instantly turn from Cinderella to Snow White.
Tao Aiqing's character is like this. Before replacing Katrina as Lu Zihao's fitting model, Tao Aiqing was always facing the sky, short and flat, like a "village girl" who had just entered the city. However, when she changed into the dress designed by Lu Zihao, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but say:
"Is the person in the mirror really me? Lu Zihao easily turned me from an inconspicuous Cinderella to a shining and dazzling princess."
Here we should pay attention to what Tao Aiqing said, not "I am very beautiful, and after a little whitewashing, I am also a true beauty" . But " Lu Zihao actually turned me into ".
is right! For audiences 20 years ago, they prefer the "Cinderella"-like character and look forward to a "prince" appearing in their lives to take themselves out of the sea of suffering.
is like Tao Aiqing, a farm girl without a father and mother. mother and fetus solo18 years ago. She has never seen any big scenes or read any books. Because of her prodigal brother, Taojiazhuang, her only residence, was sold.
When you are about to be displaced, Tao Aiqing suddenly meets two handsome and rich male gods. One is Lu Zihao, the boss of the design company, and the other is Cheng Hainuo, a young racing driver.
These two boys must have been like "male gods" at that time. Everyone is surrounded by beautiful women, but they don’t love each other, but they only have a special liking for Tao Aiqing.
Under the protection of Lu Zihao and Cheng Hainuo, Tao Aiqing's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Among them, the biggest change is that Tao Aiqing has become Lu Zihao's royal model with her height below 160. It has completely changed from an unwelcome Cinderella to the focus of attention.
Compared with current idol dramas, such plot logic is obviously a bit offensive. turned out to be because the audience now no longer expects the "prince", but wants to turn themselves into the "queen".
Since she is the queen, then "Tao Aiqing" cannot be an ordinary girl. She must be a beauty in the world with both beauty and IQ online. For example, Bei Weiwei in " Smile Smile is Fascinating ", and Sheng Minglan in " Knows ". No matter what their background is, what people or things they encounter, their destiny must be in their own hands.
2. The heroine's character logic
Previous idol drama heroines like to entrust their lives to the hands of the heroes, and rarely make a shout from them, "My life is in my hands, not in the sky." But in the past, male audiences seemed to like girls who rely on themselves in this way. Their full strength was just to save the heroine they liked.
Just like Lu Zihao gave up his girlfriend Katrina who had been in love with him for many years for Tao Aiqing; Cheng Hainuo modified his principle of not being close to women for many years for Tao Aiqing, in addition to being "weak", what other highlights are there that attract the male protagonist and the audience?
·Sweet
The reason why Tao Aiqing lets Wang Xinling play is because she values her petiteness and sweetness. The smaller and sweeter a girl is, the more likely it is to make hormones restless and stimulate a man's desire to protect. This is why Katrina, who is above 170, feels sad, and Lu Zihao thinks she is pretentious; while Tao Aiqing, who is below 160, feels sad, and Lu Zihao feels confused.
·Stubborn
"Contrast" is one of the methods that idol dramas like to use in character design. This is how Tao Aiqing is. Although she is sweet, she is very stubborn. There is a kind of morale that he refuses to give up in order to achieve his goal. , but this kind of stubbornness is probably not pleasing to the present day.
For example, Tao Aiqing and his grandfather lived in Tao Jiazhuang, which was obviously sold by his brother Tao Yaqun. As a buyer, Lu Zihao came to buy the house, which is reasonable. However, Tao Aiqing let his brother not look for him, and insisted on pestering Lu Zihao endlessly, saying that he would not move, and then he would work for his studio. He looked completely like "You have to listen to me, but I will never stop if you don't listen to me."
To be honest, I can't love this kind of "no distinction between right and wrong" practice. But why didn’t the audience dislike it 20 years ago?
It is probably because they think that the sweet girl must have a temper, so that she can prove that she is not a baby, but a living person?
·Self-esteem
If Tao Aiqing's character is the most eye-catching? That must be her inferiority complex. This "sense of inferiority" makes all ordinary girls empathize with it . Especially when Tao Aiqing was disliked by Lu Zihao's father and Tao Aiqing compared his personal conditions with Yaxi, is more likely to spontaneously substitute himself.
Especially at the age of a young girl, the boy I like comes with the school beauty. You are ordinary and anxious, but powerless. Thinking of your grievances, looking at Tao Aiqing again, can you not pay attention to her and feel sad for her?
With empathy and attention to the heroine, can this idol drama not be successful?
3. The idol drama that I can’t love
20 years ago, this "Wedding Dress of Heaven" was indeed very popular, and I also watched it one episode after another. However, 20 years later, when I watched this drama again, I did not like Tao Aiqing at all, except for the feeling that the youth of the actors in the drama was no longer.
even keeps doubts about Lu Zihao's character. After all, when he was ambiguous with Tao Aiqing, he had not broken up with Katrina yet.
But because the screenwriter prefers Tao Aiqing, he wrote Katrina, a person who was "green", into a crazy bad woman. This logic is no one else. How much hatred did he have for a beautiful woman in the past? In order to implement the logic that beautiful women are bad, after Katrina, another Yaxi appeared.
The setting of Yaxi is even more amazing. In order to be with Lu Zihao, he directly pushed Lu Zihao's mother down the stairs. , do you have to write a beautiful female supporting role as a demon for the sake of the plot?
is really incomprehensible.
This drama was filmed in 2004. Because she hired a Singaporean actor who was not very good in Chinese, William , the drama spoke English sometimes and sometimes in Chinese, and there was no one else.
The ending is even more ridiculous. At Lu Zihao's mother revealed that Yaxi was the one who pushed him downstairs at Lu Zihao's wedding. However, Lu Zihao told his father, "Dad, if you want me to continue marrying Yaxi, this wedding will continue."
So, is this male protagonist the character of Dadbao?
After he finished saying this, everyone looked at Lu Zihao's father in unison. It was not until he got Lu Zihao's father's reassurance that he went to the church to look for Tao Aiqing with everyone's blessing. There is no one else in this setting of
. Yaxi is sure that he is the murderer of "attempted murder". Can Lu Zihao still marry her?
On the other side, Tao Aiqing's wedding was also twisted. It was impossible to tell that Tao Aiqing liked Lu Zihao, but she was happy to marry Cheng Hainuo. It was not until Cheng Hainuo refused to marry her that Tao Aiqing wore a wedding dress and ran to find Lu Zihao.
Then, after searching, the two of them finally remembered to call. Only then did we finally find each other.
From beginning to end, it seems that bystanders are more anxious than the two of them, as if any irrelevant person can stop the two of them from falling in love. I really can't understand
.
