Mother in Charge

: The clichéd "big female lead drama" also has a bright spot

Their self-transformation is the best part of this clichéd story.

Yu Zheng is at it again.

Fresh off the air, he made a personal appearance to build momentum for the web series Dangjiaomainmu, which he is the executive producer of, and which stars Jiang Qinqin, Zhang Huimin, and Yang Rong in the lead roles, is still hot off the presses. Just by listening to the name, you can imagine that it is a proper "big female lead" drama, and it must involve the elements of internal struggle, the rise and fall of the family, and women's inspirations, and so on.

As expected, The Mother of the House is a female drama that focuses on women revitalizing their families and presenting women's awakening and strength, and yes, there is more than one mother of the house here. It's just that the initial picture of this drama isn't very pretty -

The opening scene is Shen Cuixi, the head mother of the Ren family, handily tearing down her husband Ren Xuedang's concubine Zeng Baoqin, and with the aggressive state of the female lead, the cheesy and bloodthirsty catch-adultery sequences, plus the fact that the person next to her is not the one I love, and the fact that every mansion has a The setting of the playboy makes people skeptical of the texture in the first place:Can't you come up with something fresh?

No.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Cui Xi's character is gradually becoming more and more full as the show progresses, just watching the first two episodes would have made it very easy for viewers to be dissuaded from watching her because of her stereotypical image of the "mother of the house" in the early part of the show. Fortunately, in addition to the weaknesses of the show's clichéd, slow-paced, and no-longer-advanced Morandi coloring, The Mother in Charge focuses on portraying the female population, and by slowly entering into their world, you can find that The Mother in Charge has its own compassionate heart for the women of feudal society, and also has its own deep thoughts on the tragedy of the fate of the women in the heartache.

The story takes place in the Qing Dynasty.

The Ren family has inherited the position of chief weaver at the Suzhou Weaving House and possesses the secret technique of woofing, which has been handed down to them from their ancestors. The head of the family, Xuedang, is a scholar who only loves to study poetry, calligraphy and painting, while his wife, Shen Cuixi, is good at embroidery and business. Ren Xuedang and his former lover, Zeng Baoqin, have a secret affair and give birth to a son, Xiushan. When Zeng Baoqin was about to marry into the family, Ren Xuedang suddenly had an accident and his whereabouts were unknown. Shen Cuixi is burdened with the heavy responsibility of supporting the Ren family. Fortunately, with the help of Zeng Baoqin, the two women have put aside their old grudges and turned from rivals into close friends and confidants. Because of the interest, Shen Cuixi was framed by two corrupt officials, and when her life was at stake, Ren Xuedang, who had disappeared for seven years, returned, and Shen Cuixi's wrongdoing was clarified, and her life returned to its former calm.

Two thirds of the episode is this story.

This and Yu Zheng declared "to promote traditional Chinese culture, not bitter, not sensational, no blood" positioning is far from -- about the woof plot is really less than pathetic, half of the plot is still not the woof process to speak! The woof is just like the role of "threading a needle", but sloppily failed to become a good "needle", which is how to guard the The woof craft? If like the TV series "that year's flowers bloomed in the moon", can put part of the focus on how to do business would not hurt, but the first few episodes of the drama, instead of the family's internal "war" is too grand - female strong and male weak, wives and concubines compete for favors, concubines attempted to enter the door, the head of the family disappeared the main mother! The Concubine and the Son ...... It's really bitter, melodramatic, and bloodthirsty.

Instead, gradually, when Ren Xue Tang invisible in their lives, the plot began to be full of intrigue, within the restless uncle Ren's second master Ren Rufeng in trouble, outside the Suzhou governor and the weaving constantly design framed, so, after all this suffering, to Shen Cuixi and Zeng Baoqin as the main body of the twin "big heroine" drama is quite a bit more than the "big heroine".

And it's finally starting to show that the clichéd "Mother in Charge" is not clichéd and anti-clichéd.

This time, God did not open the "golden finger".

Yu Zheng manufacturing in the "big heroine" cool drama of the leader of the "Yanxi Raiders", the heroine of the drama Wei Luo all the way, "God block kill God, Buddha block kill Buddha", never had a little aggression, the path of the stars. To the "mother of the house", the two female protagonists, have not had a smooth life, and not omnipotent. Relative to some of the "big female drama" always for the supporting characters to lower the wisdom, to highlight the heroine's brilliant conventional operation, "mother of the house" in the villainous role, are cunning, greedy and IQ online, Suzhou governor Cao Wenbin, Suzhou weaving Li Zhao, the two main villains are not stupid and blunt, Shen CuiXi, ZengBaoQin and their battle of wits and courage a few rounds, mutual victory and defeat, the plot of the villain, the villain's plot, the villain's plot, the villain's plot, the villain's plot, the villain's plot, the villain's plot, the villain's plot. Mutual victory and defeat, the villain's plot moves blood, their schemes are also fatal, but ultimately still narrowly defeated by their shameless and insidious. The two female protagonists are not lacking in insights, guts and talent, and their behavioral habits are within reasonable limits, and their characters are set up in a logical manner.

In the play, they are dazzling and lovely. They are able to love passionately, but also put the dashing, to the reality and life also see more transparent. A farce from the beginning of the competition for favor, to their from rivals to mutual life and death of confidant, together hand in hand to fight the external enemy, the internal security, the two heroine image shaped more and more full.

Shen Cui Xi, righteous, tough, courageous, responsible, and fearless in the face of danger; Zeng Baoqin, intelligent, kind, tactful, courageous, and clear between love and hate.

In contrast to the several important male characters in the play, whether it is Ren Xuedang, Ren Rufeng, or Ren Xuedang's attendant Shuyan, all of them are weak and indecisive, and are used to escaping from reality, and don't have much ambition.

Shen Cui Xi, who was raised by the Ren family when she was a child, was not loved by her husband after her marriage, and although she had a good family life, she was always in a state of despair.

Shen Cui Xi was raised by the Ren family when she was young, and was not loved by her husband after her marriage. Although she was a good family man, she was always in a crisis, and the elders of the family could come out to ask for her imprisonment if she made a mistake;

Tseng Baoqin was a daughter of a bureaucrat, but because of the fall of the family, she fell into prostitution, and was unable to enter the family business openly after her release from her misery, and was not able to bring up a son beside herself.

Shen Cuixi's maid Qiao'er, who was married to Ding Rong with a generous dowry, was killed when Ding Rong framed Shen Cuixi for murder because she wanted to have a son for her husband's family.



Shen CuiXi's other maid ShuFang, sold into the Ren family by her brother when she was a child, and when she married Ren RuFeng, and from time to time to ask for money, blood sucking, scoundrels ......




All in all, the drama that the relaxed wind and snow with the blazing conflict of disputes, the more people can make some ****! The Mother of the Household is not pedantic, it is the perspective of these women to reflect the destruction of women in the society of the time. Some of the women in the show have fought, or are fighting, and they're not just going along for the ride.

The one who has changed the most is Shen Cui Xi.

It's a surprise to see that after Ren Xuedang's long disappearance, Shen Cuixi has fallen in love with Wei Liangbao, the tutor of the house. Although she could not have a good ending because of his death, after experiencing the pure, beautiful love and being loved, she opened the door that trapped her and liberated her soul that was trapped by the wall. Because of morality and responsibility, she had to be the main mother of the Ren family, but it never occurred to her that she could have gone to a wider world and just be Shen Cui Xi.

From putting the Ren family first and adhering to the rules, to taking the initiative to make peace, to rebel against the old marriage system and social rules under the patriarchal dictatorship, and to take the initiative to break through the shackles of the feudal society that were customized for women, it's all about the awakening of the consciousness of her female individuality.

Some people prematurely concluded that "Mother in Charge" is just a replica of "Niangdao", but I think this is still not out of the blood of the web series, much better than "Niangdao". While the heroine in "The Way of the Mother" identifies as a woman with the laws of male-dominated society and the discrimination and oppression of women, the women in "The Mother of the House" have a sense of autonomy, from Shen Cuixi to Zeng Baoqin to the rest of the female supporting cast, all of whom have progressed in their thinking.

Shen Cuixi, a self-reliant woman who wants to be her own independent self, is able to escape from an unhappy marriage and stops depending on the Ren family for survival.

Zeng Baoqin, who controls her own destiny, doesn't follow her mother's concluding words that she has no tomorrow when she is faced with ending her life by her mother in prison, and opens her own embroidery shop to make ends meet after the disappearance of Ren Xuedang.

Shu Fang , has been working hard to achieve the goal of struggle, is to run the business, the face of only know how to eat, drink and play husband Ren Rufeng, take the initiative to write a paper repudiation, would like to each other and their own peace.

Ruyi, see the man with seven years of Shu Yan intentionally or unintentionally on women's rules and regulations, and the other side of the proposal did not tell her but first went to show the head of the family, she was disappointed to the extreme dominance of the said "do not get married", and action to prove that she resisted! "In other words, although she was only a former daughter, she did not have the right to marry, and she did not have the right to marry. In other words, although she was only the maid of Zeng Baoqin, she never regarded herself as anyone's subordinate.

Even the coy aunt, Chen Xiaohong, is reflecting on her own life. She also wants to make a living on her own with her skills, but because of the limitations on women in that era, she is not given the chance to take the path she wants to take.

The plight of these women in the drama is like a mirror, and their fate is somehow a reflection of the plight of modern women.

These women are the ones who have to face the challenges of the modern world, and they are the ones who have to face the challenges of the modern world, and they have to face the challenges of the modern world. In some countries, the social rights of many women are still very limited.

The Mother of the House not only sympathizes with the tragic fate of women, but also explores and reflects on the plight of women in this story of Zhenbao's choice of the white rose and the red rose. Only, Mother of the Household is gentle, using the delicate language of the camera to express their confusion and reluctance; using poetic inner monologue to interpret their troubles and struggles; and also using the blade of action to untie the bondage to interpret their awakening and growth.

Their self-transformation is the best part of this cliché.
