"Love between a Man and a Woman" is not only worthy of its name The "Millennium Drama Series" has become a hot topic in Hong Kong. Its ratings have been ranked first for several weeks, and it has been ranked as TVB's highest-rated TV drama in the past. Its finale ratings have reached an average of 47 points and a maximum of 50 points. "Miracle" attracted 3.018 million Hong Kong viewers. This record has not been broken by another Hong Kong drama.

The ratings are high and the audience is wide - almost the whole family watches it, and they are talking about it enthusiastically - the media extensively reports the gossip about the male and female protagonists, discusses the classic catchphrases in the play, and has many by-products ——The stage play "Love Between Men and Women" and Huang Zihua's latest series of "Stand-up Comedy" were released and became very popular... This phenomenon can be said to be a "trend" in the Hong Kong TV industry at that time.

The success of "Love Between a Boy and a Girl" lies in the fact that it does not portray fairy tales, but life. MissMo played by Cheng Yuling, or Lok played by Huang Zihua, their cuteness lies in the fact that they reveal the personalities, advantages or disadvantages of all urban little people. The plot is exaggerated, the taste may be vulgar, but the character is as real as a mirror. Everyone can find a part of themselves in "her" or "him". In addition to being lively, exaggerated and funny, "Love Between a Boy and a Girl" has a warmth that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, giving the general audience a strong sense of self-empowerment.

Sister Dudu’s career has reached another peak; to be more precise, it has made Huang Zihua successful. "Love Between Men and Women" once again vividly brought out Huang Zihua's "Dong Tuk Comedy" performance in 1990. Since then, "Dong Tuk Detective" and "The Rape" tailor-made for him have been launched on TVB. It must be a hit; in TVB's situational comedy period, although the late comers such as "As You Like It" and "All the Housewives" have their own fans, they can't surpass this peak. In the television industry, it turns out that the audience really needs such a comedy king.

The relationship between men and women in the twentieth century has always given people a sense of entanglement. Some men owe women, and some women owe men. Sister Dudu (Zheng Yuling's nickname) finally agreed to star in a TV series again, the last time being in "New Shanghai" almost ten years ago. Sister Dudu mobilized a lot of "private gangs" to perform in this drama, and she obviously attaches great importance to this performance! And this drama also invites Huang Zihua, a master of comedy, to compete with Sister Dudu in acting!

"Mother Loves Girl" has a mother-in-law with an old-fashioned and unattractive name, but the series is surprisingly good.

The most exciting thing is that the actors create unexpected sparks, and no one can be compared. We thought Zheng Yuling was strong, but Huang Zihua was not to be outdone, and "Xiao Qiang" was even stronger. Most of the other co-stars were sharp-tongued and stubborn, and they finished the episode in the blink of an eye.

I thought that teachers would resist dramas about intellectual professionals such as lawyers. Unexpectedly, they were captured and had a good reputation. There are also many allusions to the chaos in Hong Kong society in the play - such as the incident of "asking a rich woman to get her underwear and pornographic discs back", which is so boring and dramatic, and it is fully exploited to capture a group of gossipy audiences. It's like catching a cat and grabbing it by the neck.

Huang Zihua's acting style in "Love Between a Boy and a Girl" can also be compared to Stephen Chow. The two people have different backgrounds. Huang Zihua came from a talk show. He is more critical about current affairs, emphasizes thinking, and pays little attention to body language. Recently, because of his entry into the media of television, and his chemistry with Zheng Yuling, Huang Zihua has become more popular. Anger rising rapidly. Stephen Chow emphasizes body language and personality performance. Two different forms of expression, each with its own merits.

The successful cast of a series is one of the main factors. Even though there are a few main characters in this series, Miss Mo and Lok used this situation to hysterically play their usual roles. The producers behind the scenes of "Zheng Yuling-style" and "Huang Zihua-style" interpretations may euphemistically call these roles "tailor-made". It is undeniable that their performances are one of the reasons why the audience cheers for them, but their excessive personalization is like emptying out the roles or identities they have to play. On the contrary, the "fairy aunt" played by Yuan Qiongdan performed the role of a little woman appropriately and professionally. An overly humanized performance will cause the character to lose its uniqueness and three-dimensionality, leading to the result of "being a loser".

There are many of our viewers who sit in front of the color TV every night intoxicated and are unhappy with the "love between a man and a woman". Is life really so breathless that we are only willing and happy to watch other people's selfishness, meanness, ignorance, and sexism from the other side without having to use our brains and laugh to our hearts' content: the more unconventional, the more The more perverted it is, the more attractive it is, making people slap their hands to pieces. Then the next day, you can rely on these peripheral topics to interact with others to avoid getting into the personal level. This is the mentality of modern people, and it also indirectly contributes to the popularity of the show.

The 5 major crimes in "Love between a Man and a Woman"

Evidence No. 1: Teaching people to raise cockroaches

Yu Letian initially raised "Xiao Qiang" in the play. , were complained by MissMo and the audience; but later on, Xiaoqiang became more and more cute in the drama, and many young fans of the "Male" drama followed suit and bought Xiaoqiang and kept them at home; in fact, cockroaches are pests and are definitely not suitable to be used as pets. Pets to keep.

Evidence No. 2: Abuse of Xiaoqiang behind the scenes

MissMo and Lok in "Boy Love, Girl Love" both love and protect Xiaoqiang, but in fact, behind the camera, the staff often want to film Xiaoqiang. Close-ups of the cockroaches are glued on with strong glue and then discarded. Although many people think that treating cockroaches in this way is harmless, they are still alive and these actions may seem like cruelty.

The third crime: using force to solve problems

MissMo often quarreled with Lok in the drama, but usually they would get into a fight after less than two sentences, which made people feel that she always flaunted herself as educated and educated. As a lawyer, MissMo likes to use force to solve problems.

The fourth crime: Discrimination against women over 30 years old

In the play, Lok often ridiculed women over 30 years old. In one scene, he even said that they have no MarketValue (market value), so they are very Fewer women over 30 will receive flowers. I wonder if Hong Kong's Equal Opportunities Commission will intervene in these age discrimination dramas like the BA?

The fifth crime: glorifying illegal acts

Ruan Wan is an animal lover in the play, and often does illegal acts because she wants to rescue animals, such as breaking into fur parties and demonstrating naked, Even though Ruan Wan had good intentions, such as breaking into the turtle jelly warehouse late at night and releasing turtles, these are always illegal acts and should not be glorified.

The three major contributions of "A Man Kisses a Girl"

Although "A Man Kisses a Girl" inadvertently promotes a lot of "wrong truths", there are actually many plots in it that are With educational significance, let us now review the three major contributions of the "Male" drama.

Contribution No. 1: Continuous Learning

Although Lok has always been very conceited, he also tried to learn English with MissMo because Michelle came back after studying and was afraid that he would not be worthy of her; There is also a scene later where MissMo asks Lok to work hard to learn Mandarin so that he can go north in the future. Although Lok failed to learn both in the end, he also taught the audience that they should continue to learn and add value to themselves.

Second contribution: Learning Chinese history

As a sinology expert, Professor Mao is of course responsible for teaching everyone the knowledge of Chinese history; in addition to explaining the ancient construction methods of "aunt's house" In addition, it has also taught many people that sparrow hunting in the Song Dynasty was called "Ma Diao", and there were no thirteen-year-olds at that time.

The third contribution: Love life

Although Xiaoqiang’s bitter history of being abused behind the scenes has been mentioned above, but in front of the scene he is loved by thousands of people; MissMo and Lok are not the same. Instead of treating Xiaoqiang coldly because of his life experience, he gave him a mansion with gold carpet. I believe many viewers will learn what "respecting life" means when they see Miss Mo taking good care of even cockroaches.

A by-product of love between a man and a woman: cockroaches become "pets"

Recently, a whirlwind of cockroaches has hit Hong Kong. Young people on the streets of Mong Kok are wearing cockroach T-shirts, and even pet shops are selling one. A batch of giant species of pet cockroaches from Madagascar. In department stores, there are stalls specializing in cockroach hairpins, lapels, magnets and other furnishings. When customers pass by, they inevitably exclaim "Xiao Qiang"

The most popular nickname for cockroaches is "Xiao Qiang" ", comes from Stephen Chow's drama "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" in the 1990s, which means that although it is small in size, it has strong vitality. However, due to the limited penetration of movies, this name was not popular at the time. Until the recent TV series " "Boy Loves Girl" tells the story of the male protagonist Huang Zihua raising a cockroach named "Xiaoqiang" and even confiding his concerns to it, a brother-in-law. After the series was aired, Huang Zihua and his cockroach brothers were in the limelight.
