Young people will have many answers to the recent hit shows, and their parents may come up with a unified answer - "Niang Dao". This drama is definitely the most popular TV series this year, but Douban score is staggering, only 2.8 points, so why is Douban score so low?
How hot is the show? Since it was broadcast in early September, the ratings have gone all the way up, with two stations breaking 1. In the recent week, the ratings of Beijing Satellite TV have broken 2 in a row. But Ma Sichun, Chen Weiting starred in the TV series "orange age" only ranked third, the audience has not broken 1.
You should know that since this year, satellite TV star show ratings are relatively low. The last TV show with ratings below 2 was "Mr. love" at the beginning of the year.
A few days ago, 'accompany my parents to watch "Niang Dao" was also posted on the microblog hot search. Some netizens joked that mom didn't even do it at night to pursue the drama.
However, the public praise of this great heat drama met Waterloo. Douban scored only 2.8 points, and nearly 10000 people gave the drama a star. Many people gave a low score for the reasons of "three views are not right" and "three views are poisonous".
What kind of play is it? So many middle-aged and old people like it. However, many young people have low scores. The dislocation in the middle deserves attention.
The story takes place in the early years of the Republic of China and tells the story of yingniang, the heroine, and her five children. At the age of 7, in order to bury her father who died of illness, Ying Niang sold herself to the long family and became a 'River Gu' who sacrificed to the river god.
But in the event of an accident, Ying Niang threw herself into the river and was rescued and married. Who knows, her husband is the second young master of the long family.
Because she may have a son in her belly, Ying Niang enters the long family. However, due to the birth of three daughters in a row, Ying Niang was rejected by her mother-in-law, and her husband took her away. The fourth child finally gave birth to a son, but her husband died. Yinggu's three daughters were still separated. As a result, Ying Niang began to find her way to children.
There are two controversial points. One is Ying Niang's design. She has a miserable life experience and a weak appearance, but she is kind, gentle and tolerant.
In the play, the heroine is more miserable than one episode. When she was a river girl at a young age, her daughter was almost thrown into the Yellow River, driven out of the house, and almost died in the court. Even her brother would sell her mother and daughter & hellip; & hellip;
What's the heroine's attitude? Sister-in-law and her mother-in-law forced her Xiao Gu to die to protect her. When the police came to investigate the case, she protected them.
Old lady long told her that the long family owes two granddaughters, but she immediately replied, how could the long family owe them?
For such a female image, we are no strangers. There are similar heroines in dumb bride, tears of daughter-in-law and wife.
This kind of drama can make the audience feel sorry for tears by repeatedly abusing the heroine, which is also called "the drama of bitterness". At one time, the "drama of bitterness" was very popular, but today, more and more people begin to "not catch a cold" about it, even some people are disgusted with it.
Some netizens said that Ying Niang is like a masochist + self masochist. She can't get along with herself. She has been struggling all day and thinks she is very great.
In addition, the plot of giving birth to a son in the play is controversial. Some netizens say it's a bit 'patriarchal'. For example, the long family has three sons, namely chuanzong, Jizong and Yanzong. The heroine has three daughters, namely pan Di, Zhao Di and Nian di.
When she gave birth to her third child, Ying Niang was difficult to give birth, but she insisted on keeping her child small and said: 'what is my humble life, as long as I can give birth to a son to the second young master. '
Boys and girls are born in heaven and earth, and many conflicts in the play are caused by 'lineage succession'. For example, Mrs. Long and her granddaughter are going to be thrown into the Yellow River, while their grandson is going to protect them and try their best to seize them.
Many people think that the play is materializing women and transmitting the values of "women = reproductive machines". There are netizens joking, "Niang Dao" is not to shoot a sister article, called "female virtue".
Guo Jingyu, the director, also responded to these controversies. He was not afraid to be named "bitter feeling". He admitted that Ying Niang was a tragic figure. The reason why Ying Niang was not allowed to "open" was to make the play "Niang Dao" closer to the audience and make everyone feel the same. He also said that the role of Ying Niang was more real than all the heroines he had written before, and more like a woman representative under the feudal oppression of old China, rather than a typical strong woman.
He disagreed with the statement that men are preferred over women. He said that this work is to criticize the dross of feudalism, only to restore the actual shortcomings of that historical stage and write a story on this basis.
At present, the play has been broadcast to 67 episodes. According to the preview, the middle-aged and old yingniang will also have a sense of progress and start to wake up and resist. It's just that in 76 episodes, this part doesn't take up too much space.
Some netizens also said that although this is because the heroine in the script is limited by the times, but because of showing too much patriarchal preference and succession, it will still disgust the current audience. Parents have the obligation to raise their children, but they should not lose themselves because of their children.
It is also said that the reason why the play is not good is because her grandmother told her to learn something when she criticized some of the dross in the play.
In fact, the crux of the discussion caused by "niangtao" is still outside the play. For many young people, it's a long way to go whether they value men over women, husband as wife or mother as rigid. "Equality between men and women, and women's pursuit of independence" is a concept they have been accustomed to since childhood, while softness, meekness and resistance are not popular characteristics.
And parents like to watch it for a certain reason. Some of them recognize the brand of Guo Jingyu. He has filmed the age plays such as iron pear flower, dog beating stick and red lady. The story is closer to the life experience of the generation after 60. Some of them don't have dramas. At present, ancient costumes and romantic dramas dominate the screen. There are not many dramas suitable for parents to watch.
One netizen said that the values of the drama should be separated from the values of the people in the drama. It is difficult to change the aesthetic preferences of people after they have been shaped. However, the difference between the aesthetic and the values, like watching "Niang Dao", does not mean that they agree with the values of the people in the drama.
However, if you watch it for a long time, it will have an impact. When a play is evaluated by netizens as "three outlooks are not correct", the creator may also reflect on it. Since it is for criticism, why do you say that the play is spreading feudal dross. In 2018, we can't always let the audience eat back.
