"Here I would like to focus on the issue of the portrayal of heroines in today's film and television works."
Zhu Zishu began to skillfully extend the topic, "Nowadays, the audience's 'personal awareness' is getting stronger and stronger. They need a sense of substitution, need to be 'refreshed', and need to be 'loved'."
"So in some common works, we can see that the one who is the protector must be powerful and omnipotent. But the protected one lacks characteristics accordingly, like an ordinary flat symbol.
"Why is this happening? Because we need to give the audience space to act on their behalf.
"A heroine, apart from being good-looking and cute in appearance, and being kind and weak in character, it seems that she can't be more three-dimensional, or in other words, can't be more concrete.
“Because once it’s specific, there’s a risk that it won’t fit the audience’s preferences.
"And most creators avoid such risks."
Zhu Zishu paused to give the audience time to react, and then said:
"But this kind of behavior of shaping the image of the heroine, the protected party, as 'truthful, good, and beautiful' will bring another kind of risk, that is - 'is she worthy?'
"Why does the hero love her? Why do friends like to take care of her and protect her?
"You just mentioned "Empty Monument", which reminded me of some of the controversies on the Internet at that time. While many viewers thought that the plot of "The Group's Favorite Heroine" was very enjoyable, there were also many viewers who did not think that "Sister Rou" was worth it. Being loved by so many people. This shows that creating a heroine who symbolizes 'absolute beauty' has two sides.
"Back to "Who is the Detective", when I watched the first half of the content, I felt very calm. This is not to say that I can't sympathize with the experience of the school beauty Rou, but the whole plot is too typical.
“It is not uncommon for a girl who is beautiful, cheerful, and has a great boyfriend to suffer harassment and unfair treatment. Such personal experiences and circumstances are not uncommon.
"Qin Tiancai and Rou, the school beauty, match each other so well that people will know the ending after reading the beginning - 'Isn't it just love?' Many people will think so.
"Whether it's Rou's school beauty 'committing murder' for love, or Qin Tiancai creating Qin 61 for love, it will only give people the feeling: 'Ah, I understand, this is love'.
"It's so typical, so aside from the superb performances of the actors, there's actually nothing new in this whole plot. If the audience is not so empathetic and not so involved in the drama, it will just be over after watching it, that's all."
Zhu Zishu took a sip of water, which was usually a signal for what he was going to say next.
"So why was the last conversation between Rou school beauty and Qin Liuyi so amazing?"
He gave the answer, "Because this makes the beloved and protected female character of Rou school beauty come alive."
"Through this passage, you can see her character, her outlook on life, and her loyalty to love.
“And loyalty in love is always mutual.
"So I was very surprised when I saw this paragraph. It is not like the works I just mentioned that deliberately weaken the heroine's characteristics and sense of presence for the sake of the audience's sense of involvement. It makes us realize why Qin Tiancai is so interested in Is the school beauty Rou so deeply in love?
"Why? Because she deserves it.
"What attracted her to Qin Tiancai was not just her physical beauty, nor her sweet, coquettish, crooked temperament and behavior, but her own radiant soul.
“And suddenly everything made sense.
"We get a glimpse of a love that is in tune with each other's souls and is devoted to each other to the extreme."
What Zhu Zishu said not only made the audience applaud, but also attracted online comments to echo.
[Teacher Zhu’s words are so insightful! 】
[I understand, no wonder when I watch those so-called sweet pet dramas, I wonder why the heroine is so pampered. It turns out that it is because she is not plump]
[Yeah, it’s just an otome game. After all, it’s really meant to be convenient for players to take on the role, but since it’s a drama, you should use snacks to portray the characters! #angry】
[In fact, the same is true for the male protagonist. In some movies and TV dramas, I don’t even know why the female protagonist loves the male protagonist so much. . . 】
[What kind of expert is Mr. Zhu Zishu?hhhhh]
[+1, after his analysis, I think Qin Rou’s CP is more fragrant, hehe]
[Qin Tiancai really doesn’t fall in love with the wrong person...Rou’s school beauty also...suddenly envied them a little #sigh]
[Teacher Zhu is right, I feel like complaining about it. Why is Qin Tiancai so good to the school belle Rou? He even deliberately made a robot to continue to love her for him. Maybe this is the privilege of a beautiful woman... It’s really funny when I see it later. Her tiger body trembled, no wonder Qin Tiancai likes her so much, I like her too QAQ]
[Damn it, I even started to be jealous of Qin Tiancai (bushi)
[Hahahahahahahahaha indeed, who wouldn’t want to hang out with such a beautiful sister! 】
[That jealous barrage from before, are you the one on Qin 61? (dog head)
[Oops, you’re laughing so hard! 】
“Then we extend it a little bit more.”
Zhu Zishu got excited and continued, "Just now Zhan Changqing mentioned that communication between people is a mirror. Yes, this mirror contains many things, the most popular and direct of which is the emotion of giving."
"We all want to be loved, but we don't want to give love. Because we are afraid that there will be no reward for our efforts, and we are afraid of taking risks. In the end, it seems that whoever loves first loses, and the biggest winner is the one who is not emotional. Isn't this a contradiction?
“Doing nothing and expecting to be rewarded is no different than sitting on your doorstep hoping for pie to fall from the sky.
“Not to mention people and robots, even if it’s a person or a pet dog in someone’s home, the dog can feel who in the family really cares about it, so it gets closer to that person.
"There is very little love without reason in this world. Even if it is family affection, there are deep blood ties in it. Similarly, there will not be someone who loves you wholeheartedly for no reason, just like Qin Liu1 thinks he loves you. In fact, It's just a set program, not sincere.
"This is the sense of inconsistency that appears in some film and television dramas - what is shown is that two people are in love, but there is an imbalance in giving love and reciprocating love, and it tends to be one-sided love and being loved.
"The mutual love between school beauty Rou and Qin Tiancai is beautiful but also not easy."
Zhu Zishu made the final conclusion, "In addition to their deep love, the most important thing between them is 'mutuality'. I hope that all viewers can gain some new thoughts from this perspective."
The host Lin Yuqin, who was already on stage, took the lead in applauding, clapping and nodding with great feeling.
“Thank you to the judges and teachers for their comments.”
He answered the words skillfully, listening to the director's report on the remaining time, "Now please let our program team count the scores given by the four judges backstage! Dear judges, what do you think of Group B's "Who is the Detective"? What about the score? Please pick up the grader at hand——"
"Dear viewers in person, in front of the TV, and online! Thank you for watching all the way until now. After the commercial, the results of the sixth round of "Entertainment Intern" competition will be announced to you!"
