The Woman's Marriage and Love Picture Book behind the "Female Second Girl"
Some time ago, there was a classic line in the popular "Beijing Women's Picture Book": "Everyone wants to live a more comfortable life, get more, and then work harder on their own. We are all such people."
This sentence hit many people. The second female lead (Jiang Chenyin) in "The Marriage of Longing" is such a typical example.
I have wanted to marry into a wealthy family since I was a child, decorate myself with exquisite beauty, and try to change my destiny through marriage. She made the same mistake as Chen Ke in "Beijing Women's Picture Book". Chen Ke married a Beijinger with a house, and Jiang Chenyin used his children as bargaining chips to enter the wealthy family. He even did not hesitate to persecute his sister.
But in the end both chose to end their wrong views on relationships and marriage.
male number 3 Qi Yan is a typical young man who is struggling. He is from a poor family and is determined to make a career. After suffering various ups and downs, he finally relies on his diligence and integrity to gain career and love.
There are also rich second generations who avoid urging marriage, small employees who are unwilling to work in banks, mothers who hope their daughter can marry wealthy families...
Every character can find the prototype in life.With modern women and marriage and love becoming a popular issue in society, "Marriage of Longing" is just at the right time. The series directly hits real problems, shows a diverse view of women's marriage and love, gives the characters richer personality attributes, and reflects the appearance of the times.
In this sense, "Marriage of Longing" is more like an urban emotional drama, focusing on the younger generation's views on marriage and love, life and values, as well as the collision and conflict with the older generation in their thoughts. The discussion of some realistic propositions in current urban life is very sharp, and even brings up a lot of contradictions and controversies.
In the context of policies supporting the creation of realistic themes, urban life emotional dramas usher in a concentrated outbreak, but they cannot escape all kinds of pseudo-realism. The story is empty and suspended, and is covered with the cloak of "realistic themes". The essence is still an idol drama that changes the soup and does not change the medicine. "Marriage of Longing" tries to avoid such problems, focus on the complex social relations and social contradictions behind daily life, respond to the marriage and emotional problems of contemporary women, and imprints a high degree of realism.
Inevitably, like "Beijing Women's Picture Book", "The Marriage of Longing" also strengthens a certain degree of drama, and there is suspicion of excessive force in terms of means. Some plots seem cliché, but the core of it still conforms to the current concept, and the reflected spiritual outlook has a sincere care for real life.
