While popular dramas such as "Your Majesty the Wolf" and "Little Storm" continue to hit the hot search lists with various topics, a domestic urban drama "Zhuangtai" was silently aired on CCTV.

It is worth mentioning that since the show was aired on November 29, there has not been a single hot search topic. However, whether it is the ratings of Yiqi Juechen or the high rating of 8.4 on Douban, it is enough to prove that the show is a

It’s a hit.

Without any publicity, no hot search bombing, no popular actors joining, and no advantage of the right time and place, how can "Zhuangtai" still stand out among the crowd of popular dramas? I think I finally found the reason for its popularity: original ecology and groundedness

Qi and sense of humor.

"Setting Up the Stage" is adapted from Chen Yan's novel of the same name. "Setting up the stage" means setting up a stage. The story focuses on the real life of the stage builders headed by Diao Shunzi, telling the ups and downs in the lives of a group of ordinary little people.

The so-called original ecology actually means that it restores the nature of a region and a city. The play is set in Shaanxi and tells the story of a group of men engaged in stage installation work in Xi'an.

The director of the play is an authentic Shaanxi native, and the leading actors Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni are also Shaanxi natives. The "openness, down-to-earthness, and human touch" of Shaanxi people are clearly restored and displayed in the play.

As soon as the TV series started, many people were attracted by the Shaanxi delicacies in the show, such as trouser belt noodles, saozi noodles, fried eggs, spicy meatball soup, cured beef steamed buns... Eating seems to be the same in "Zhuangtai"

A top priority, this also made those viewers who watched "The Stage" for the first time think that it was a food drama.

In addition, the most famous opera in Shaanxi is Qin Opera, also called Tongzhou Bangzi. It is a traditional opera in northwest China and one of the national intangible cultural heritages.

In the play, the stage that Zhang Jiayi and the others set up was the local Qinqiang opera troupe. Listening to the dialect opera with strong local characteristics, the play also exuded a strong cultural connotation.

Of course, it is not enough to have cultural connotations. As an urban drama about the ups and downs of a small character, how can it not reflect the due humanistic care?

No, "Installation", which exudes a strong market atmosphere, is presented to the audience in a very down-to-earth manner.

Audiences who are familiar with Zhang Jiayi know that he has acted in several love TV dramas in recent years, and his partners are all young actresses. In the dramas, they kiss and cuddle. Even if he is a veteran national drama,

Zhang Jiayi was inevitably criticized by everyone for being "too inconsistent".

But now in "Installation", he has once again played the role of a common man, eating fried noodles with garlic, talking some boastful words, bending over and hunching his back. This is Zhang Jiayi's character.

At the same time, this is the down-to-earth smell that Diao Shunzi needs in "Installing the Stage".

Diao Shunzi, played by Zhang Jiayi, is the big brother of the troupe. He takes great care of his opponents. He will help everyone ask for wages and will often use a bottle of soda to win people's hearts.

In one sentence, Diao Shunzi is the most common kind of sleek and sophisticated person in our lives. Although he is very warm-hearted and helpful to others, he is also very philistine.

In the play, in addition to Diao Shunzi played by Zhang Jiayi, the group of people he works on stage are also very down-to-earth, all of them are warm and kind, and at the same time they are also philistines.

Only such little characters are down-to-earth enough, and the stories performed are real and believable enough.

These little characters in "The Stage" actually look closely and they all have a very hard life, but they use a humorous attitude to resolve the misfortune of life, and this sense of humor is also an indispensable part of this drama.

.

Take Diao Shunzi as an example. Although he is a good and reliable big brother at work, and it seems that everyone can be manipulated by his eloquent tricks, but as everyone knows, in family life, he is also a good and reliable brother.

It's a mess, but the good thing is that he is a person who is always content with what he has and can always find a sense of superiority in the messy and trivial things.

His first wife ran away with her not long after they got married and gave birth to their daughter. His second wife passed away not long after they got married. The third wife he met later, Cai Sufen (played by Yan Ni), was still not with him.

I accidentally knocked someone down while riding my bicycle and then came to my house to give him medicine and massage. After a few contacts, I actually saw him right.

Diao Shunzi, who got a wife for free like this, even boasted seriously in front of his co-workers: "I got you a sister-in-law. I injured her leg. Not only did she refuse to marry her, she even insisted on coming home with me."

As a result, I got the certificate from her in a daze.
