"Golden Years" has started airing, and the whole show is a bit shaky so far. The filter is in a nostalgic style, and Liu Shishi’s retro outfits are in no way inconsistent with this filter. But Zhu Suosuo wears famous brands, Master Ma’s BMW 7 Series, and Wang Yongzheng’s AirPods always remind me that this is a modern story.
Many netizens used the details of the TV series to determine the era. They probably think it should be a story between 2015 and 2016. Because social security entered the stock market, it happened in 2016. Jiang Nansun's father was a man who had no business and almost lost his family fortune by stock trading.
This is actually different from the novel setting. First of all, the novel takes place in Hong Kong, in the last century, but the TV series is changed to modern Shanghai. In the novel, Jiang Nansun's family is a declining aristocracy, relying solely on his grandmother's little wealth to support him. And it seems that the family has bottomed out. But the Jiang Nansun family in the TV series is always rich.
Jiang Nansun's family is a single-family villa on Fuxing Road. According to the current housing prices, the price of house on Fuxing Middle Road is about 240,000 yuan per square meter. Combined with the statement in "An Jia", the price of old houses in Shanghai is basically at the level of 100 million yuan, so in terms of real estate, their family is very powerful.
This has moved the background to modern times. If it were still in Shanghai in the last century, this property may not be worth so much, but it will definitely be worth more than the alley. In the last century, this house could barely meet the status of a declining noble, but today, even if this is the only house left in the family, it should be quite confident...
Not to mention there are antique vases and the like in the house.
When my aunt was chatting with Jiang Nansun’s mother in the first episode, Jiang Nansun’s mother asked her aunt if the diamond ring on her hand looked good. My aunt said, didn’t you dislike diamonds before? Jiang Nansun’s mother said that gems are no longer affordable.
And what grandma is wearing around her neck is probably a serious piece of jade.
When Zhang Anren went to Jiang Nansun's house for dinner, he looked at the 11 dishes on the table and said there were not so many, I am not picky about food. Grandma Jiang Nansun said that there was an extra lion head than usual. What is on this table? There are shrimps, crabs, braised pork, and ribs. There are usually 10 dishes, and there is also a nanny. If you say this is a declining aristocracy, who will believe it? A really wealthy family.
And Jiang Nansun’s Chanel bag was worth 100,000 yuan if he didn’t want it.
The violin that Jiang Nansun poured water on was worth 200,000 yuan. This young lady does not regard money as money. She has no concept of money at all.
is also right. If she had any idea, she would definitely not be with Zhang Anren.
In short, after changing the background, the whole story feels really not related to the novel. Yishu novels are inherently alienating and not so down-to-earth. What has changed is the background, but what remains unchanged is that Jiang Nansun's father allowed her to squeeze into the hearts of the upper class. Logically speaking, if the conditions at home were like this, Jiang Nansun should be hovering on the edge of the upper class.
So I feel that the whole story line is a bit weird, not as solid as the Zhu Suosuo civilian Cinderella line. Zhu Suosuo has Cinderella's heart, but does not have Cinderella's life. His whole life is full of excitement but lively and real.
Jiang Nansun's line is really floating. The family is unreliable, the grandmother favors sons over daughters, the father just wants to sell his daughter at a good price, and the mother seems to be deaf and blind at home. This is indeed the setting in the novel, but Jiang Nansun in the novel will not be so strong-willed to fall out with her second-generation father.
She always struggles with her father in terms of attitude. Although she won't do anything too extreme or argue, her attitude is loud and powerful. Anyway, compared to Liu Shishi's interpretation, I still prefer Jiang Nansun in the novel.
But now that the background has changed, if Jiang Nansun is cold, he probably won't be able to live in modern society.
