When many housewives are still immersed in this kind of bloody plot at eight o'clock.
When the girls are still living in the "I love you but I can't say" sadistic cancer.
When true love must meet the scheming of a bad-hearted female partner, when it must be forced to have an abortion and someone will die.
When the pseudo-rebelliousness of tearfully singing "the courage to break through the threshold of the world" has been eliminated by the times, everyone knows that the spiritual match is the most suitable, and a good love is the most important time.
Korean dramas take the initiative to overthrow their own barriers and re-establish a romantic model suitable for most normal people today.
Descendants of the Sun is a good example.
There is no long previous relationship, and no long-winded background introduction. Car accident, terminal illness, abortion, bad-hearted female partner, etc. have long been eliminated by history.
The screenwriter is handsome and gets rid of these seemingly refined but rotten stalks and tells us how normal people fall in love.
1. The art of setting the romance of "as usual and very"
originates from life but is higher than life. The love of the protagonist is naturally more exciting than that of ordinary people.
The setting of "as usual and very" is one of the attractions of "The Sun".
We can see the shadow of life from it, and we can also experience the romance that cannot be experienced in life.
First of all, it has a very clear setting for the main characters. It's not at all the "overbearing CEO and the petite wife" filled with the temperament of the Internet, nor is it the Mary Sue who is divorced from real life like "the rich and handsome and the Cinderella".
Most women work hard in the workplace, and they have gradually become spiritually independent after financial independence. Playing this set at this time will make them nauseated. Even if there are loopholes in Korean dramas, they don't treat the audience as fools.
In all fairness, will Wang Sicong fall in love with a plain but hardworking older female.
The hero of "The Sun" is the leader of the special forces - a young and promising captain, and the heroine is an excellent doctor - a new woman with strong economy and personality. In addition to their outstanding looks, there is one thing in common -
neither of them has a great net worth background, and they are all leaders who rely on their strength to work hard for their dreams.
Not only that, but the professional settings of the two have a very high degree of fit with the plot.
Doctors and soldiers are also guardians, but they are one white and one black. There are commonalities and opposites.
The sparks of "Battlefield CP" are destined to have many unique poking hearts. It is very".
But all love has similarities. Kim Eun-sook, who wrote the romance part, is a piece of ginger.
She understands that no matter what status or occupation, there are striking similarities in love.
This commonality of human nature has not changed much for thousands of years. The chemical reaction that burst out among them can most arouse the empathy of the audience.
She skillfully picked out the most loving bridges in love, and after refining and processing, formed dozens of classic scenes.
These scenarios have aspects of our emotional experience.
For example, Zhongji waited for Sister Qiao at the hospital gate two hours earlier.
Reminds me of the little fox in The Little Prince who said, when you say you will come at four o'clock, at three o'clock I start to feel happy.
This is like the original, the most pure and true state.
For example, on the first date between the two, Qiao Mei was caught in a disheveled face, and she stopped the water halfway after going home to wash her hair. The face that was forced to be dismantled on the spot was unlovable, and there was love in capital letters everywhere.
No need for candlelight dinners, it's nice to have takeout at home. It would be nice to have you here.
It is worth mentioning that almost every scene has its own visual mark. This is carefully set.
The helicopter on the roof of the first episode, the scarf falling in the sunset when we meet again at the end of the second episode;
the speedboat between the pure sea and the sky in the third episode, on the white sand beach, in front of an abandoned and weathered boat The white stone and the legend; the dialogue across the iron gate and the mosquito coil.
In the fourth episode, I kissed the red wine in the low cabinet in the pouring rain.
(This is a detailed analysis in my other film review, and even the lines are knocked down sentence by sentence.)
Second, work and romance, half
of which are Korean dramas that focus on love, the taste of love is everywhere. But "The Sun" is ingenious. It doesn't make people feel that the protagonist is idle. He does nothing but love every day. Even if it is a montage, it will never be omitted.
Like the parallel montage of the second episode, it tells the story of two people who are separated and face the inevitable difficulties in life alone.
Whether Qiao Mei was pushed out by the back door, she could only swallow her scorn in the face of contempt, or Captain Liu fought against the insults and provocations of the American soldiers. Whether it's the thrill of saving lives on the operating table, or the thrill of saving hostages on the battlefield.
They all have outstanding achievements in their respective fields.
If you want a good love, you must first be a person with a complete mind and an independent self-improvement.
Like Sister Mi Meng said, evenly matched love is the best love.
When most of the pain in life, they have the ability to bear it. Inevitable hesitation and pain, they do not complain, nor shrink back. Such people are qualified to have a perfect relationship.
After all, love is neither attachment nor salvation.
Looking back, what the hell are those things like "I have a hard life and I have a strong backbone, I am a different girl, so the rich young master also likes my innocence and kindness"? Excuse me? (XX's secret I won't list XX's lies because love has XX...)
It is clear from the assignment of screenwriters. The play of fighting and killing took about the same amount of brush and ink as writing the emotional drama, and the two people's separate scenes in the emotional drama accounted for half of it. They have colleagues, bosses, family members, and comrades-in-arms.
This is very similar to adult love in real life. Love doesn't mean two people stick together all the time -
dear, what are you doing? I am operating on a patient today and I was squeezed out by the back door, balabala, what about you? I was in danger of breaking mines today, and I almost died. Fortunately, I am smart... (It is true that there is such a relationship. But everyone will be crazy in TV shows...)
Good love must be equal. They are separate entities and part of each other. They can ignore each other because of work, or say goodbye neatly, and then keep busy without disturbing each other.
No humility, suspicion or entanglement.
Because they know each other, no matter where they are and what they are doing, the place of love in their hearts will always hold each other.
I finally realized what Yi Shu said: "Self-love, calm. Then love."
Third, the straight-to-the-point love model The
two people's "straight-to-the-point" love model is also very fresh.
In the past, many screenwriters had no content to write, but wanted to work hard to write a long story.
So dawdling, long-winded, long-winded, greasy, and crooked, causing a lot of trouble so that the two can't be together.
Most of these troubles come from other people: what is the family feud against the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the bad female partner sows discord, and the bad male partner kills the male lead by taking the heroine as his own; I love you, but being with you will hurt you , or fall into a polyamorous love where I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves him.
Headache just thinking about it.
But Korean dramas tell us that falling in love can be very simple and beautiful. We have no entanglements in our eight lives, we are all ordinary people, we have brains, and we will not be interfered by inexplicable people.
"The Sun" makes people yearn for this kind of love: at first glance, no hiding, no hiding, a few words, and hate to meet each other late.
You understand me, and I understand you. Be honest with each other, without wasting expressions, and without feeling bored or tired.
It hits the spot.
At first, they met because of an interesting misunderstanding, and in the process of solving the misunderstanding, they found that the other party was very pleasing to the eye.
Then one made a direct phone call, and the other directly said whether it was okay to meet now, a date that was too fast to cover.
The first date ended in failure. The reason was that a helicopter suddenly came and took away the male lead (...such a fast-changing plot like a monkey in the sky)
It is worth noting that it took only more than half an hour before we watched the rooftop to say goodbye. In that scene, I was actually poked by two people who had just met for less than an episode!
This is enough to show that every scene in "The Sun" is very concise.
Because only by hitting the hearts of the audience as much as possible in a limited time can they be remembered by them.
Do you want to fight a protracted battle and have a relationship with the audience for a long time?
Regarding straight to the point, this scene when the two meet again is often mentioned -
"Did you miss me?" "I
do. What about you?"
"Of course I miss you, like a man."
Free and easy dialogue , without the slightest bit of fiddling. The shyness of young children is no longer suitable for their age. People who treat Xu and Wei She as romantic and sweet are either born arrogant and awkward, or most of them are still in adolescence.
From another girl's point of view, he may think that the boy's question is too straightforward and impolite; from another boy's point of view, he may think that it is too boring for a woman to answer so directly.
When a girl flirting master meets a flirting person, it can be said that it is like a fish in water and sparks splashing everywhere. There are many examples of mutual teasing.
The reason for two people to split is also rare - because of differences in values.
There is no such thing as Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and there are lovers who die in the hands of the world.
They didn't get married just because they were old or because the other party was in good condition.
A natural person with a life circle, money, and goals will not get married so hastily.
Even if you like it very decisively, long-term relationships still need to consider three perspectives.
The conflict of values belongs to the conflict of three views, which is internal and the most difficult to reconcile. Much harder to change than those mundane.
The screenwriter was bold and chose this as a hindrance to the action of "two together". The subsequent creative process has one more task - to gradually resolve this irreconcilable contradiction.
At present, there are three conflicts in the three views: the discussion of life; the mission of doctors; the serious meaning of discipline to soldiers.
If they can understand and understand each other and untie these knots, they will be a pair made in heaven. If it can't, or it is very far-fetched to untie it and then make some dramas such as disappearance, sacrifice, etc., it will inevitably end.
Before chasing "The Sun", I was chasing an inspirational romance drama for a court woman in ancient costume. I had no choice but to give up after 20 episodes.
One is that I can basically guess the fate of the characters, and the other is because of the family ethics drama of random entry-two brothers robbing their wives, fighting between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and bad-hearted female supporting actresses.
Obviously it is true love, but all life is better than death. Ah, the big head.
Off topic, let's not mention it for now.
Lines are a crucial part of a script. It embodies the character of the characters and shows the relationship between the characters.
"The Sun" is also a rare master in terms of lines. Most of the lines in domestic dramas lack nutrition, and they can only explain the plot, or they can only create shriveled and deliberate characters.
Most of the lines in "The Sun" can not only create a three-dimensional character image, but also explain the relationship between the characters, and can also promote the development of the plot, and sometimes convey the character's values and some life principles.
I'm too lazy to give an example.
Fourth, quietly instill the correct "three views"
After the earthquake, the medical team rushed back to Uruk to save people. When you say Notre Dame sickness, do you hope that when you are in trouble, everyone will be wise and indifferent, so as to reflect the true humanity? Humanity must be unbearable in your eyes, or is it a crime?
It's not about saving the world, but about whether heroes should sacrifice for the foolish people. It's the fact that
the better the adults, the heavier the responsibilities tend to be. Because of his strong ability, he has no reason to retreat in the face of adversity.
Otherwise, when the sky falls, who will hold it up?
Uruk has no decent medical conditions. The medical team that can treat and save people has left. Who will save those who can survive?
There will always be people who, despite the hardships and dangers, will charge into battle. These people, not obligations, but greatness.
There should not be too many touching deeds in times of catastrophe. How could the glitter of humanity become false.
The intern could not save the dying man weeping bitterly. This kind of despair is common in medical dramas.
Young interns have yet to get used to the fragility and impermanence of life. Just like some young people who have just joined in other industries, they cannot immediately adapt to some rules and reality.
At the scene of a disaster, you must be calm, and if you cannot save or are difficult to save, you must immediately abandon it. After all, this is the way to save more people.
Jiang Muyan's oath appeared as a background OS, which appropriately reflects the solemnity of the profession of a doctor.
Good Korean dramas are like this, each one gives you a deeper understanding of the profession.
Because of understanding the world, and then sincerely respect and love.
Pinocchio is about journalists, Hear Your Voice is about lawyers, You from the Stars is about stars, Descendants of the Sun is about doctors and soldiers.
Not to mention how well it fits these occupations in reality. It carefully instills some correct outlook on life and values to the audience, which is tepid and appropriate. No slogans, no perfunctory.
It also expresses feelings and opinions while shaping the characters and advancing the plot. Do more than one thing.
