There is one place where the movie is adapted very well. Song Lian came to Chen's house with a suitcase by herself, not like a new wife entering the door, but like a newcomer's entry report. The Chen family is a workplace within the system. There are effective assessment mechanisms: lighting, blowing, and sealing. There is a reward mechanism: the right to hammer feet and the right to order food. The wife who lights the lamp can only order food, and the wife who does not light the lamp will bully her. Song Lian said, "Master goes to whatever house he wants to go to, so why bother to light a lamp?" This is the idea of a rookie who has not yet started. Lighting the lamp is actually more important than the master. Lighting the lamp is for all the wives to see, and it is the continuous domestication of the wives. Only when the lighting becomes the only pursuit of the wives' life can the master become the only center of their lives. Only one courtyard lamp can be lit at a time. Lighting leads to competition, and competition leads to surveillance. The highest level of lighting is lighting a permanent lamp. The Everbright Lamp is like a tenure-track teaching position, so Songlian does not hesitate to use academic fraud (fake pregnancy) to deceive it. In fact, as long as there is no escape from the system, whether there are children or not, life is the same. Although the third wife has his family in her heart, she has to insist on posing for favor, because having children alone cannot guarantee her status in the Chen family. But both she and Songlian lost because they forgot the existence of the Chen family's supervision mechanism. The lower the people, the more eager they are to light the lamp. The third wife and Song Lian also occasionally expressed their disdain for the lamp, but Yan'er stole the lamp in the room and lit it in her heart. Song Lian has been employed for one year, and she already knows how to use the "Chen Family Rules" to tame geese. She completed the process of institutionalization in one year. The lamp is the core system for the continuous operation of the Chen family's empire. With this lamp, the master doesn't have to do anything, and some people are competing to serve, and some people consciously study the technology of serving, and supervise each other's loyalty. Hammer-footed a la carte is the two wings of the system. So the master said meaningfully, hammer feet, you can't do without it slowly. The master never shows up, and this design is particularly good. Just like Big Brother in 1984, Big Brother doesn't need to come forward, he keeps looking at you.
