In the 21st century, there are even people called ＂Zhao Di＂ in Hong Kong’s giant dramas.
Chilam, Yang Qianyao (Yeung Yi), Li Choi Wha, Luo Ziyi (Luo Zhongqian), Xiong Dailin, Raymond, Guo Zhenghong, Chen Manna, Yu Yang, Yu An ‘an …
As soon as such a cast comes out, coupled with the theme of family business war with Hong Kong as the background, it is easy for the audience to regard the "Family Glory" being broadcast asTVB drama.
But it is actually a co-production of Youku and Hong Kong Huanya Film and Television Company.
Family business war drama is TVB, or the golden age of Hong Kong drama.Representative drama.
Unfortunately, "Family Glory" has no classic shadow. For old Hong Kong opera fans, "Family Glory" can only be barely eaten, and talking is better than nothing.
Welcome to the "Phoenix Entertainment Index-Comprehensive List of Movies" applet, search for "Family Glory" and express your opinion.
Petty "commercial war"
Family business war was once a masterpiece of Hong Kong opera.
From Family Change in the 1970s, Rogue Tycoon and Unfortunate, to Giants, Great Times, Heaven and Earth Passion, Heaven and Earth Men, Genesis in the 1990s, and even heart of greed 1 and Heart Storm 2 since the new century …
These classic family business war dramas, which combine family disputes, feuds between giants, business games and the times, are brilliant and magnificent.
With bothCuriosity, there are also strongRealistic color of the timesAlmost a broadcast is an explosion.
However, the "Heart Storm 3" broadcast in 2017, both word-of-mouth and ratings lost, also means that the theme of family business wars in Hong Kong has entered a trough. After that, it is also difficult for Hong Kong dramas to see this theme.
This time, the appearance of "Family Glory" somewhat filled the gap.
Let’s briefly clarify the drama.Family relationship and commercial war contradiction.
This Hong Kong super-rich man is called Ma Shihong (Yu Yang), and he has three sons.
Ma Yaozong (Guo Zhenghong), the master of the Ma family, and Ye Caiwei (Xiong Dailin), the eldest housewife.
Ma Yaozu (Raymond), the second young master, and Zhen Xin (Yang Qianyao), the second young mistress, are also the first female in the play.
Ma Yaotang (Luo Ziyi), the third young master, and Jia Luoyi (Li Choi Wha), the third young mistress, are also the second female in the play.
In addition, there is a young master, Ma Zhanhong (Chilam). You can tell from the actors that this is first hero.
The hero has two story lines:Revenge, love.
He found that his father’s death was related to Ma Shihong, and he still worked for the Mars Group on the surface, secretly investigating the truth and preparing for revenge.
At the same time, master Tang has beenHave a crush on Zhen XinHowever, he was "the first to get there" by the second young master, and he could only be a flower protector silently.
Ma’s three brothers are fighting with each other, hoping to get more from the family company.stock right.
Ma Jia San’s sister-in-law "Family Fight" was staged in the first episode."Sister-in-law wronged the parents of two younger siblings for stealing diamond bracelets."The drama.
This kind of personal relationship, though conventional, is also a "standard" for commercial war dramas, which has been tried and tested time and again.
The problem in the commercial war drama of Family Glory is:Too taken for granted, too petty.
For example, at the beginning of the series, two young masters held a wedding at the same time, and as a result, ICAC came. Because of two bribery cases, three young masters were taken away to assist in the investigation.
Ma’s family is said to have both political and business people, but for this investigation,I didn’t get any news in advance.I didn’t see any relationship coordination afterwards, so I was quite law-abiding and cooperative.
Then, the second young master really went to prison "easily".
I can only say,Screenwriters have no "imagination" about the "energy" of rich families in real life.The game between officials and businessmen is also nothing exciting.
The screenwriter forcibly sent the second young master to prison in order to write the following "business war."
Originally, the three brothers each had 7% of the family shares, because the second young master took the blame for the eldest brother and the third brother, so the eldest brother and the third brother each gave him 1% of the shares, Ma Shihong.Very touchedThe sacrifice of the second son also gave him a 2% stake.
The family shares of the three brothers become: 6% for the eldest brother and the third brother, and 11% for the second young master, with outstanding advantages.
Such a plot is also "retarded". It seems that the second young master is plotting, but the eldest brother and the third brother are willing to "darling" the shares? Dad gave shares, which turned out to be touching?
Isn’t this a commercial war drama?Why take the route of "touching the family"?
After that, Zhen Xin also relied on the heroine aura of female No.1, and in the Ma family, which attached great importance to family rule and preferred sons to daughters, as a woman and a surname,Became the chief executive officer.
Then, Mars’ various commercial projects are only inThe lines show that they are complicated.I haven’t seen all the calculations, traps, strategies, fascinating and amazing things in the commercial struggle.
Although Chilam is expensive as first hero,But I always feel that he doesn’t have many parts.Because his revenge has no action.
More often, it just keeps flashing back: someone hinted at him before he died, and Ma Shihong designed to kill his father.
Then Ma Zhanhong was in the office, with a bitter face, reminding the audience that he was eating and drinking, and he was preparing for revenge.
In a word, the commercial battle scenes in "Glory of the Family" have been painstakingly played.Can’t pose any intellectual challenge.It doesn’t reflect Hong Kong at all.International Financial CenterCome to the color.
Family drama becomes "family ethics drama"
Before the TVB family commercial drama declined, many voices pointed out that it was because.The scene of the giants is "like a teacher"Yes.
Generally speaking, it is the dramatization of family ethics-making the struggle in the rich and powerful family into a mother-in-law, a chicken flying a dog jumping all the way, and finally a happy reunion of "family and everything" and "family should tolerate each other"
The same is true of Family Glory, which shows the life of the rich and powerful, feeling that it still stays in the feudal society.
"Feudalism" seems to be the only feature of a wealthy family.
What flies to the branches to become a phoenix, a big house and mistresses, preference for boys, expensive motherhood, cheating on women, and sisters turning against each other …
Ma Shihong, for example, has a big house, a second house and a mistress. The daughter of Fannie and Freddie has no place in the family.
Ma Shihong’s big house, with three daughters-in-law, bowed down to their ancestors, chanting in his mouth that he hoped his daughter-in-law could have a boy and open a branch for Ma’s family.
Send a polished bead to your daughter-in-law, saying that it is a bead with many children and many blessings, which can bless more boys.
The names of Ma’s eldest granddaughter and second granddaughter areZhaodi, Laidi……
In the 21st century, the giants who are all-powerful in the financial circle will really give their girls such names that the second aunt in the village gave up?
Zhen Xin learned that her husband was in all kinds of philandering outside and was in pain, considering whether to divorce.
But she finally decided not to divorce, on the grounds that, "I did want to divorce him, but in the end, I chose to trust him, because I believe that there is a future between us. I believe that he will be a good husband, and I believe that he can be a good father. "
Then she touched her belly with a happy face and "officially announced" to her family:She is pregnant!
The implication is that children can help her tie up men.
This drama of the last century is forced to be set in the 21st century …
In retrospect, the previous Hong Kong family business war dramas were "feudal", but there were also many of them."anti-bone" and "anti-convention"The protagonist’s depiction can reflect the conflict between the old and the new, and see a kind of "destruction" to East Asian families.
For example, Ding Youkang in "Unforgettable Righteousness" is paranoid about fame and fortune, which is as bad as it is, but also has a kind of wantonness to destroy everything;
Zhuo Shangwen in "The Passion of Heaven and Earth" lost all his fortune and was optimistic and sophisticated.Is an adventurer only in the great era.;
Ye Rongtian and Xu Wenbiao in Genesis are all.Careerists born with the rise of Hong Kong as a city.They are greedy and innovative, bound by tradition and full of charisma.
This used to be Hong Kong"urban sense" and "modern sense"A source of.
"Family Glory" is "returning" and compromising to feudalism, and all kinds of struggle dramas can also be seen in family ethics dramas in the mainland.
And as a giant drama,Almost all the plays are shot in the interior.Either it is a fixed mansion or it is in the office, relying on dialogue between characters to promote the plot.
A few Hong Kong exterior scenes, such as bright night scenes and bustling urban landscapes, are more like some materials edited later. I guess the budget is too limited.
It is undeniable that a group of Hong Kong actors in Family Glory,Acting online.
Although the story is childish, butStrong plot and conflict, as the next meal drama can still watch.
However, we still regret to say that the Hong Kong family business war drama has completely lost the Hong Kong attribute of this theme, but has become vulgar and bloody.
At present, "Family Glory" has a public score of 6.7 and a professional score of 6.0 in the "Phoenix Entertainment Index-Comprehensive List of Movies" applet. Have you seen this TV play? What is the evaluation? Welcome to scan the code and enter the applet to comment ~
