After watching this episode, I feel that it is definitely a high-quality drama compared to ordinary domestic dramas. The key is its groundbreaking theme design.
This kind of design has a great macro grasp of the overall character and plot. Although the deeper meaning cannot be seen in the first episode, the distinctive characteristics of the main characters are already faintly displayed.
The emperor who is rich, sinister and diligent, the empress who is virtuous and has no choice but to do so, the arrogant and domineering femme fatale Concubine Hua, the lady Shen Meizhuang who dares to love and hate, the low-class An Lingrong who has low self-esteem and jealousy, and the mudslide with joyful drumbeats. Concubine Qi, etc., and of course Zhen Huan, who combines beauty and wisdom.
Shi Hui is always paying attention to the market feedback after an episode is broadcast online, especially the posts about Jin Xishan in Qingshan Bar and other forums.
Not to mention, just after the first episode, a large number of comment posts appeared, but at this time, there were less than ten minutes before the second episode was broadcast, so most of the comments were simple and direct.
Shi Hui just browsed it briefly and came up with the most common theory.
That is, it resonates with the negative mentality of people in the transformation of China today. People need to find an object of attention to vent their inner emotions.
Because "The Legend of Zhen Huan" reflects the reality of Chinese society, whether in the workplace or in love.
The supremacy of imperial power and the abuse of lynching in the play are similar to the rampant unwritten rules, lack of supervision, and lack of justice in the current workplace. The root cause is "rule by man."
The criterion of human governance is the human heart, which is the most unpredictable thing in the world. Systematic research on human beings has not reached a consensus for thousands of years.
Management based on the ruler's human heart is naturally uncertain, exclusive, and mysterious. This will inevitably lead to unrestricted power, a sense of powerlessness in society, uncertainty about life and society, and the inability to enjoy the peace of the moment. Producing anxiety, fear, complaints and even hatred.
Of course, no one will really question this invisible and intangible negative mentality, because the signature of the producers is the palace fighting drama.
Gongdou dramas specifically refer to TV series set in the ancient feudal dynasty of China, with female characters such as harem concubines or female officials as the subject of the story, and with the emotional entanglement of the characters or the struggle for political power as the main plot line.
Its routine setting itself is anti-intellectual, adheres to the patriarchal theory, narrows women's thinking, objectifies women's value, and uses competition for favor as the core focus of the gender narrative. The result is inevitably to replace the original meaning of true love with vain favor.
Or you can simply understand it as men generally don't like palace dramas and are disgusted with them. If they don't like things, they will definitely not support them.
Because they think that just watching palace fighting dramas is enough. Boys are more worried about women watching too many palace fighting dramas. They think that palace fighting is needed everywhere in life. In the end, they use those tricks on men, making small things big. Big things make people crazy, and nothing happens every three days.
But on the other hand, this type of drama will be the favorite of girls, because the relationship between women involved in the palace battle drama and the method of dealing with an authoritative male character have inspired the rules of the workplace and interpersonal communication in reality. .
Although there are many exaggerated dramatic conflicts, it satisfies most women's imagination of their own positioning.
Whether in marriage or in the workplace, there is a kind of secret joy and catharsis in imagining your relationship with the people around you, each person's style of doing things, and each person's class and personality.
In other words, most girls have a preference for gossip. The saying that three women have a drama has been around for a long time, and it is not without reason.
But before Shi Hui had time to digest what she had learned, the second episode began immediately.
This episode first reveals why our heroine displeases the Queen Mother whenever she opens her mouth?
Because the Queen Mother praised Shen Meizhuang, most of the women are needlework girls, and it is enough to know a few words.
Zhen Huan quoted Cai Shen's words to explain her name.
The Queen Mother probably thought to herself: Are you the only one who is literate?
Furthermore, the heroine looks too much like the late Queen Chunyuan, so she doesn’t want to be allowed into the palace.
In order to prevent her from entering the palace, the Queen Mother even
As for pointing out that her surname violated the taboo of the emperor's name, it would have been troublesome if Zhen Huan had not moved out of the late emperor and explained that the surname was given by the late emperor.
However, the more the Queen Mother obstructed her from entering the palace, the more she became her "assist", forcing Zhen Huan to show off her talents.
Zhen Huan actually didn't have much desire to enter the palace. The reason why she performed well in the draft before the palace was because she was forced to do so.
When the Queen Mother asked other women, such as Shen Meizhuang, she always asked: "What books have you read?"
But when the Queen Mother saw Zhen Huan, she asked all the questions that were extremely difficult. If she didn't answer well, the whole family would suffer.
Maybe Zhen Huan's inner monologue at that time was like this: I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but you forced me to take action.
After Zhen Huan was selected, she was not happy. After all, entering the palace meant that she would have to compete with Shen Meizhuang for favor. She even apologized to Shen Meizhuang for this.
Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were good sisters who grew up together, so naturally they didn't take this matter to heart.
She also thought clearly that this was God's intention, and from her own standpoint, instead of competing with a stranger for favor, it would be better for her good sister to be favored. At least she knew the truth and would not be easily framed.
Even before the new couple officially entered the palace, there was already no peace for the old couple.
In the last episode, the queen gave Concubine Hua a servant Fuzi, but Concubine Hua found a reason to knock her unconscious and threw her into a well. It can be seen that Concubine Hua did not want to give the queen any face.
Concubine Hua is worthy of being the number one in palace fighting. She always maintains her best fighting power. Every day she fights against all the concubines alone.
She was late to greet the queen, and she was arrogant in front of the queen, directly mocking Xin Changzai for knowing how to flatter the queen.
Not to be outdone, Xin Changzai satirized her for not knowing how to respect the queen and for being late.
The naive Concubine Qi didn't understand their conversation, so she interrupted and was attacked by Concubine Hua. She directly ridiculed Concubine Hua for getting fat, and the emperor became increasingly reluctant to look at her.
The queen cannot escape Concubine Hua's "export".
Concubine Hua just smelled the tea at the Queen's house and compared the tea to the Queen as an "old person". No matter how well it was stored, it would still have a musty smell.
The implication of her words is clear and discernible, that is, "when people get old, they need to recognize themselves."
This cannot be said to be a metaphor, it means that the queen has a good temper, otherwise she would not be able to overturn the table.
At this point in the plot, Jiang Xin has actually been able to fully play this ruthless character who is afraid of chaos in the world.
But only a few people know that the actor himself was unable to enter the scene for a long time. This part, which only had less than ten lines, was dragged out by Jiang Xin for a whole day.
It was Jin Xi Shan's unprecedented rage in public that woke up Jiang Xin for failing to grasp the character's psychology correctly. Z.br>
As a professional actor who has graduated from a vocational school for many years, Jiang Xin has been like a practitioner who has been opened up to the second channel of Ren and Du since that day. He was out of control, and his acting skills suddenly exploded in the future.
That night, the silly girl stayed in Jin Xishan's room until midnight in fear. Anyway, the two women talked for a long time that night. From the next day, Jiang Xin seemed to be a different person from the inside out.
In addition, in the second half of the filming, Liu Qingshan gave her a good lesson in front of everyone on the day she joined the group, which was a preliminary warning to this girl who was more fearful by nature. Back.
But putting aside her realistic character, seeing most of the audience here (of course mainly female viewers), they immediately found a sense of physical and mental integration with the entire plot from this character.
And this sense of integration made people sink deeper and deeper in the next month or so, until they were unable to extricate themselves in the finale.
In other words, the real charm of the entire show starts from the second episode, and even its best parts are still slowly coming like a tidal wave.
Even though the queen looks kind-hearted, her "knife" is the one that kills people and kills people. She can hide two waves of "output" in one sentence.
This first stab is an insinuation that although Concubine Hua is indeed favored by the emperor, she has not been pregnant for many years.
And the queen’s words are very
Gao Ming, but deliberately said that the previous owner of Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi, had many children, so she was favored by the late emperor.
The result of this sentence is: Concubine Hua was directly poked in the sore spot and left the scene in anger!
Concubine Hua herself said this second sword. Although the late emperor's concubine Yi favored many sons, her son rebelled in the end and did not end well.
The Queen's words sounded like good words, but upon closer inspection they turned out to be curses.
Probably, even if your concubine Hua is favored, but you don't have a son, your good fortune will not last; if you have a son, you won't be able to give birth to a good son in Yikun Palace, which will definitely bring trouble to your mother.
Of course, if Concubine Hua dares to fight against many, she is naturally spoiled by the emperor. Concubine Hua is the only one in the harem who dares to treat the emperor with pretentiousness and unreasonable doting and arrogance.
However, the good times did not last long, and a new bride was about to enter the palace. No matter how beautiful Concubine Hua was, she could only stand out among the many old concubines. How could she compete with a real teenage girl.
When Zhen Huan was drafted, she had already won the emperor's favor.
In order to prevent Zhen Huan from competing for her favor, Concubine Hua did not care about the queen's face, so she changed Zhen Huan from the original Chengqian Palace, which was the best, to the small and remote Broken Jade Palace.
What does this Broken Jade Palace mean? The previous owner had a miscarriage and was relegated to the cold palace, which was very unlucky.
The plot of this episode ends here, and the audience can see it. Next, there will be the first meeting between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, the first climax of the whole drama about who has the upper hand.
So before we knew tonight's ratings data, the entire online discussion surrounding this drama had unstoppably heated up.
This also shows that these audiences who have high expectations for this drama love Qing palace dramas far more than other dramas. This phenomenon is in line with the realistic logic of "existence is reasonable" and shows the psychological needs of a certain audience group.
So in just an hour, all kinds of comment posts flooded the Internet.
