they are each other's biggest rivals.

because i don't admit defeat,

they often compete with each other on weekdays.

comparison ⬇️

i wish i could keep an eye on each other's movements all the time⬇️

but when the other party is stumped by the problem at hand,

two people who don't know how to express appreciation and care,

use provocative methods to stimulate the other party to accept your kindness⬇️

they are mortal enemies who compete with each other.

but there was never any hostility in their eyes when they looked at each other.

they are the "brides waiting to be married" in the mountains.

at the age of thirteen or fourteen,

they are faced with a fixed process of dropping out of school, getting married, earning gifts to supplement their family income, and having children.

believe that this is the standard template for life.

mistakenly thinking that the outside of the mountain is still a mountain,

the farthest place i have ever imagined is the distance from one mountain to another.

my best hope for myself is to be able to marry someone from the mountains into the town.

at the age of 14, someone came to propose marriage.

drop out of school to give my elder and younger brothers the opportunity to go to school.

a mother's difficult childbirth is a condemnation of a life for a girl who is born.

no one blames the boy who is born.

father's alcoholism and domestic violence,

in an environment where boys are valued more than girls, my grandfather raised me as a boy... i am used to this kind of phenomenon.

they mistakenly believe that this is the normal state of life and that this is how it should be.

no money, no future, no one cares, no hope.

every exit has been blocked, but they almost never knew that the exit ever existed.

until someone exposed all the injustices to them,

tell them that life is not just about repeating their mother's path: being trapped in the mountains all their lives, surrounded by violent husbands, endless children, and countless housework.

there is another side to this world.

this statement reveals who the real beneficiaries of girls dropping out of school are.

the real situation of women

facing discrimination in employment,

and there may be everyone who is not aware of this kind of unfair phenomenon.

she wants to open a girls' school in the mountains.

give the girls back the missed opportunities.

tell them: even if a girl is stuck in the mud, she should still shine.

tell them: no one can dictate how girls should be.

she angrily denounced the male police officer who ignored the sexual harassment of the dropout girl in the foot massage parlor:

"if you touch it, it's touching. how can you say it's touching?"

when the male policeman thought that persuading the girl who dropped out of school to study hard and not go to the foot massage parlor to mess around was a kind of well-intentioned admonition,

it points out the hypocrisy of male superiors: "working in a foot massage parlor is her freedom, not a reason for her to be bullied."

the real and powerless mountain predicament,

gender discrimination hidden in daily life,

the injustice and subtlety that only women can perceive,

all of them are reflected with sonorous and powerful lines.

it presents a story that is considered to be closer to the complete picture of "zhang guimei and her girls".

there are no illogical adaptations, no backstabbing of the audience,

respect the real experience of the characters.

capture the ordinary and simple shining points in it,

let the audience spontaneously become the publicity committee members of "when mountain flowers bloom".

song jia, who plays zhang guimei, was also praised for her crying scene in the drama.

waiting for the college entrance examination results of 100 girls from the girls' high school.

from the initial anxiety and expectation,

when i learned that everyone had reached the shore, tears welled up in my eyes.

then to the emotional release of tears of joy,

every move affects the audience's emotions.

"what a layered scene.

”

"i got goosebumps. i have to watch the show just for this clip."

"sister, you are a happy puppy

you can always trust ms. song's acting skills!"

yesterday, douban gave it a score of 9.0, ranking first on the real-time list. it is currently the highest-rated domestic drama in 2024.

the audience sincerely admired zhang guimei herself, praised the actors' acting skills and highly recognized the plot.

i also paid attention to the screenwriter of "when mountain flowers bloom" because of some subtle details.

for example, when recruiting teachers in girls' schools, they are sensitive to male teachers⬇️

teach female students who have been raised as boys to understand menstruation, no need to be ashamed⬇️

tell girls to learn to accept themselves⬇️

more importantly, we saw the long-awaited female relationships.

competition between women is free of hostility, belittling and jealousy.

but they are connected by a sincere emotional bond.

compete with each other but also achieve each other;

friendship between women,

it could be that a person goes bankrupt in order to fight for the common rights of women.

the two friends supported each other for decades.

a group of people gave up the superior conditions in the city to "move mountains" for unfamiliar mountain girls.

it could also be a female reporter whom i have never met before.

after hearing the story of the girls’ sacrifice, he was moved and hurried to make the story public;

the unfamiliar tofu pudding stall owner, upon hearing that a lady encountered financial difficulties on her way to changing the difficult situation of mountain girls' education, took out her own scattered 30 yuan without hesitation.

then, fearing that he would be rejected, he pushed the cart away silently.

do not deliberately create conflicts and quarrels for the friendship between women.

don't weaken their self-reliance.

ignore the simple feelings in it.

instead, they capture the compassion and empathy in the nature of ordinary women, knowing that the balance will not tip towards their gender. even if their own lives occasionally face difficulties, they will still give in to this empathy and be moved.

after learning that the screenwriters of "when the mountain flowers bloom" are four female screenwriters, yuan zidan, ding han, huang shiyang, and li xiwei,

there is a comfort in the expected.

the audience exclaimed that “only women can portray such full and vivid female characters” and believed that the most touching female stories must be written by women themselves.

spontaneously spread praise for female screenwriters all over social networks,

this goodwill was also accurately delivered to the four female screenwriters.

seeing that every detail they carefully designed was seen and resonated with the audience, the female screenwriters couldn't wait to share the behind-the-scenes creation stories.

the details captured by the audience and that make women empathize are exactly their original intentions in creation.

reject female competition, reject male gaze, reject menstrual shame,

i believe that there are the most sincere and pure feelings between women, and that the female alliance has its own powerful force.

what is moving is not only the success of the girls’ high school and the greatness of its key figures, but also the fact that every character in the play is imperfect and has an ordinary side.

everyone knows zhang guimei's strictness and dedication to the girls' high school and her students.

but at the same time, she would also do bad things. in order to raise money for the girls' high school and recruit teachers, she would use tricks and even "morally blackmail" some wealthy businessmen to donate to the girls' high school.

it is precisely because of these cunning moments that the character, in addition to being stern, also has a vivid, lovely and warm side, which is closer to the real zhang guimei.

it is understandable that the teacher left halfway because she could not bear the pressure and could not tolerate the environment of the girls' high school. this reality was understood both inside and outside the play.

gu yu dropped out of school to work at a foot massage parlor to make money, and cai guizhi hesitated whether to continue studying because of her father's illness.

even though they attended the free girls' high school, they still hesitated and struggled because of the difficulties in life. after recognizing their true inner needs, they chose to return to school and tried to take root in the dampness, which highlighted their vitality like weeds.

the mutual sympathy and support between women, as well as the ignorant but simple moments, are all reflected in the play.

because it is so rare, some of the friendships and feelings are so accurate, and this huge narrative is supported by small characters, the audience can't help but shout: domestic dramas cannot be without female screenwriters.

the reason why people can empathize so well is that most works have long been lacking in this aspect, and it is difficult to see true female expression in them.

not to mention the phenomenon of depriving female characters of their original character arcs and achievements.

ignore their own experiences and feelings,

ignoring the difficulties that may arise from the surrounding environment,

all motivations are inseparable from the clichéd plot of love.

if one fails to feel the subtlety and reality of the situation, the work will be distorted.

without understanding the real experiences and predicaments of women, the limited creative perspective often deviates from women themselves.

the female characters created,

either she is a ruthless heroine who kills people with a knife,

either they are tragic characters born under the lens of female abuse,

the plot can only be promoted by sensational plots.

but they are unable to discover the complexity of women themselves.

the success of a drama is of course not only the credit of the screenwriter, but also inseparable from the joint efforts of the director, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff.

but in recent years, audiences have become increasingly aware that the script is the foundation of a play, affecting every aspect of the series.

they also attach more and more importance to female expression in works, and sneer at the female perspective in sheep's clothing.

this year's hit tv series "my altay" and the recently released film "determination to run away" are not about "great" women, but their "ordinariness" is what attracts people.

ordinary enough to be a small shop can be a one-man show;

a washboard that has never been bought back gives an idea of ​​what kind of collapse it will be;

the hope in life can be as simple as learning to drive, buying a car, driving, and starting your own life.

there aren't many moments of raising arms and shouting empty slogans.

there is no need to use cheat codes at critical moments.

there is no need for sexual affinity first.

it lightly tells of every unexpected turn in life, but you know what kind of pain flows through it.

perhaps in the end it is still a story about small people, without too many glorious moments.

but as long as you take the step of "being seen", this power can be passed on.

this may also be what the female directors and screenwriters of these two works want to express.

talk show actress echo told the story of her second sister running away in the latest episode of her show.

the second sister, who had endured too much insults and beatings in a family that favored boys over girls, chose to run away from home at the age of 14, leaving helplessly and resolutely.

being young, poorly educated and without family support, entering society is undoubtedly a hellish start.

echo really wants to follow the advice of other talk show hosts and use the golden finger to add color to the second sister's experience and ending. it seems that the person who left with weeping hope must return home in glory to be worthy of the hardships he once suffered.

but echo didn't. she told the truth about her second sister's situation. it was not her second sister who had the grand narrative, but the one who repeatedly fought against her original family in mediocrity.

the ending was not glorious, without any ups and downs, and it didn't even receive much applause after the performance.

the talk show, which was considered too heavy and not funny, was the second sister's real life and a footnote to all the women who ran away.

being seen, being communicated, and gaining strength from it are the reasons why echo and niao niao, one of the program's screenwriters, insist on encouraging others to express themselves even though they know how their performance will be evaluated.

i believe that girls helping each other and drawing strength from each other can inject strength and courage into entering a new stage of life.

not all female screenwriters and female creators may have a unified perspective, but the meaning of their existence lies in being able to perceive the subtleties, allowing the female characters to return to being women themselves, and creating stories from a true female perspective.

ordinary, common, unprivileged,

and you can go to a wider world.

final word

the hollywood reporter once produced a roundtable discussion with actresses.

when the actresses talked about the scripts they had come across,

it resonates with a disdain for the way female characters are portrayed in most scripts—a resistance to portraying “broken beauty.”

it's unbearable that the entire motivation of the female character comes only from her own past emotional trauma, focusing on the creative concept of rape.

not content with this, they strive to have women take the helm.

herstory, of course, needs more female creators to write it.
