The rise of female-themed works has cast a new light on the domestic drama market.

From costume dramas starring heroines, to urban dramas featuring female ensembles, to workplace business dramas, there is always one that suits the audience's taste.

I won’t talk about the previous ones, but judging from the past two years, most of the good dramas are still dominated by female themes.

For example, "Wind Blows Midsummer"Rose's Story》《Sauvignon Blanc" and "Ideal City" and so on, even the dramas to be broadcast, "Thirty-nine Twenty-eight"Lady》 and other dramas, both ancient and modern, have received great popularity.

Finally, as the summer vacation season was almost over, CCTV played another trump card:

The female-themed drama "Love in Ordinary" will be aired on CCTV-8's prime time on the 17th. This is the last wave of benefits in the summer season, so you have to seize it quickly.

Whether in terms of cast or plot, "Love in Ordinary" is indeed a bit ordinary.

Why is CCTV so confident to release it at this critical moment?

This time, let's take a step ahead to check the quality of this drama -

In fact, the audience has seen a lot of poverty alleviation themes, but after reading the plot synopsis of "Love in Ordinary", I still became very interested in this drama.

The heroine Qu Xiaohe (played by Zuo Xiaoqing) was once a member of the national sports team, but now she has retired and returned to her hometown.

She has a fiancé, Wan Jiaming (Xia Dejun), the heir of Wancheng Group. After Qu Xiaohe returned home, he happened to see a serious pollution accident in his factory.

In this way, Qu Xiaohe was forced to be involved in the conflicts within her husband's family group.

On one hand, there is the coercion of huge interests, and on the other hand, there are urgent marital conflicts. The heroine has no choice but to make a choice.

Soon after, the children's clothing expo in the town was called off, counterfeit brands and unscrupulous cotton were exposed one after another, and Zhinu Town was facing an unprecedented crisis.

With the support of her friends, the heroine finally decided to stay in Zhinu Town and serve as deputy mayor, but this also means that there will be more conflicts with her fiancé in the future.

Although it is positioned on the unpopular rural construction, "Love in the Ordinary" is relatively novel in terms of character setting and plot direction, and it is a work that can firmly grasp the CCTV audience.

On the surface, it seems similar to "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes". In fact, it is more sharp and straightforward in its discussion of rural conflicts, and Qu Xiaohe's identity as a retired athlete also plays a big role.

Most rural themes set the conflicts on the ecological environment.

But "Love in the Ordinary" is different.

On the one hand, there are the substandard cotton and counterfeit products that the public is most concerned about, as well as the children's clothing that is little known but closely related.

On the other hand, it is a confrontation with the husband’s family group.

Such a bold and realistic plot, full of dramatic and complex psychology, can not only bring the audience into the story instantly, but also allow them to see the shadows of people around them if they savor it carefully.

How to resolve the black-hearted cotton incident, what is the truth behind the sudden fire in the factory, how should Qu Xiaohe face her fiancé, and what choice will Wan Jiaming make?

The show hasn't even aired yet, but my mind is already filled with question marks.

To find the final answer, I think we can only wait for the release of the feature film.

After all, it is a TV series broadcast during the prime time of CCTV, and it has neither top-tier stars to support it nor first-tier celebrities to join.

However, when you really understand the cast of "Love in Ordinary", you will find that this drama is not ordinary at all——

In the play, you can see three "national mothers" gathered together.

The first one is the film queen He Saifei.

Since winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress for "Chasing the Moon", veteran actress He Saifei has finally made a name for herself in the public eye.

Even though she has already ascended to the throne of Best Actress, He Saifei still keeps a low profile and plays supporting roles in various major dramas.

From "The Road of Life" to "Just met you》 and then to 《Cheng Huan Ji”, even if the reputation of the work is polarized, He Saifei’s acting skills are always unquestionable.

I wonder what kind of surprises she can bring to the audience this time.

Second, Yang Kun.

Everyone should be familiar with this veteran actress, as she has won the Golden Eagle Award twice.

She always manages to bring the role of mother to life in all kinds of dramas.

Whether it isCounty Party Committee CompoundWhether it is "Go Where There Is Wind", "Coming From South to North" or "Wind Chasers", Yang Kun can be seen in every drama. Even when she appears, many viewers feel extremely relieved.

This time, she is ranked fourth and should have a lot of roles.

Third, Zhang Zhihua.

Compared with the first two, this veteran actress is indeed not that famous, but her face is already familiar to everyone.

She has not acted in many dramas, but almost all of them are classics, and even if she only plays a small supporting role, she can still leave a deep impression on the audience.

《Me and my motherland》 She appears in all three trilogies of the series,Father's grassland, mother's river》《Roaring Dragon Boy》and《Flowers》also has the appearance of Zhang Zhihua.

Recognized by top directors, Zhang Zhihua can definitely contribute many famous scenes to the audience.

In addition to the three veteran actors, national first-class actor Liu Yajin also came to support.

Although he started out as a sketch actor, his performance style is extremely varied and he can handle both ancient and modern costumes.

Rural dramas like "Love in Ordinary" are even easier for him to handle, after all, he is best at portraying the little people at the bottom of society.

As for the heroine Zuo Xiaoqing, there is no need to say more.

She can not only portray the unique temperament of a rural cadre, but her inherent stubbornness and indomitable spirit also coincide with her character. I am very much looking forward to it.

Conclusion

The lineup selected by CCTV may be slightly inferior in fame, but their professional quality and performance experience are absolutely impeccable.

Originally, it was simply a fantasy to let popular stars act in rural dramas, but so many veteran actors have fully considered the highlights of female characters in female-themed dramas.

"Love in Ordinary" looks ordinary, but it is actually not "ordinary" at all.

I don't know how many people remember the scene when Zuo Xiaoqing was at the peak of her popularity. Now that she is taking on the leading role again and acting on the same stage with several veteran actors, I think it will be another grand visual feast.

It is said that "Love in the Ordinary" will be released on the 17th to meet the audience, and at the same time, "The Future is Bright" and "Lucky Grass》 will also join this ratings battle.

Let’s wait and see who will have the last laugh!

I wonder if you are looking forward to CCTV’s upcoming drama "Love in Ordinary"?
