On November 29, the new drama "Installation" starring Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni was officially broadcast on CCTV 1.

This TV series about the lives of ordinary citizens in Shaanxi became popular across the country from CCTV as soon as it was aired. In just a few days, the ratings exceeded 2 and took the first place. The ratings were twice that of another popular drama "Da Qin Fu".

In the play, 47-year-old Diao Dashun (played by Zhang Jiayi) leads a group of men to engage in stage installation work in Xi'an. They install the local Qin Opera troupe, various singing and dancing performances, and some wedding and funeral performances. In the process, they come into contact with

Various people and things.

Although he actually did physical work, Diao Dashun felt that he was engaged in the job closest to art. He did his duty and eventually went to Beijing to perform with the Qin Opera Troupe and achieved success.

However, in family life, Diao Dashun has all kinds of troubles. On the one hand, after two failed marriages, he met Cai Sufen (played by Yan Ni) and embraced the beauty.

On the other hand, his daughter Juhua from his ex-wife obstructed his marriage in every possible way. In addition, there were all kinds of trivial things in life waiting for him to solve. Diao Dashun still lived a taste of life despite being overwhelmed.

Mr. Tomato watched 6 episodes in one go and felt that he was still unfinished. There are so many things worth talking about in and out of this drama that I want to share with you.

1. Controversy over name changes In recent months, many movies and TV series have experienced controversy over name changes, which have had a great impact on the box office and ratings to a certain extent.

The name-changing controversy in "Zhuangtai" was even more severe.

The first is the actor's name change.

Many people will complain when they see the title. Did you type the name wrong? His name is Zhang Jiayi, not Zhang Jiayi.

That's because "Zhang Jiayi" changed his name. Audiences who are familiar with him know that he suffers from ankylosing spondylitis and is always stooped when acting. A friend came up with an idea and asked him to change the word "Yi" in his name.

Cheng "Benefit" to ensure his health, so Zhang Jiayi became Zhang Jiayi.

It seems that this celebrity, like us ordinary people, also wants to use his name to seek good fortune.

Next is the name change of the play.

I believe many people, like me, were confused when they saw this name for the first time. What does "installing the stage" mean?

"Staging" is a profession, which refers to the people who set up the stage and the stage. This play tells the story of the people who engage in this profession.

"Zhuangtai" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Chen Yan, the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award. The name has a certain literary nature. No wonder many people have difficulty understanding it.

The main creator also took this issue into consideration when making it into a TV series. The original name of this drama was "I Treat Life Like My First Love". Isn't it instantly easier to understand?

However, as a prime-time TV series broadcast by CCTV, such a name seemed too frivolous, so it was finally changed back to its original name. The style was there, but the audience narrowed, which led to the lack of awareness of this drama on the Internet.

The degree is much lower.

2. Created by the team of "White Deer Plain", the 2017 TV series "White Deer Plain" starring Zhang Jiayi was a great success. The drama scored 8.8 points on Douban, surpassing "In the Name of the People" and "Kite" to become the most popular drama of the year.

Three years later, "Installation" is similar to "White Deer Plain" from every angle.

Both dramas are adapted from the works of Mao Dun Literature Award winners. Although one is a period drama and the other is a modern drama, one is full of epic feeling and the other exudes a market atmosphere, they are both full of humanistic care and cultural connotation.

Both dramas are about the daily life of the people in Shaanxi, and Zhang Jiayi is from Xi'an himself, so he is definitely more comfortable filming scenes in his hometown. In "White Deer Plain", he is not only the starring but also the producer, and he can be regarded as the number one project;

In "The Stage", he also served as the art director in addition to performing, and he also worked both on stage and behind the scenes.
