    "Fireworks in My World": Professional identity is the eternal embellishment of love

    "Fireworks in My World" started broadcasting, and Yang Yang walked towards us in the same B King pace as in "Special Warfare Glory" and "You Are My Glory". "Fireworks in My World" tells the story of a couple of campus couples with very different family backgrounds who were separated and reunited after many years.

    The director of this play is Li Muge who directed the hit drama "Si Teng", and the screenwriter is Xu Su. He holds the adaptations of big IPs such as "Crossing the Line of Fire" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Huang Pizi Grave". With the experience of participating in the screenwriting of major dramas, when writing about this kind of idol love, it is naturally more calm.

    The two protagonists, one is a firefighter and the other is a doctor. Regarding the professional performance of the protagonist, "My Fireworks in the World" shows a lot of space and specific cases, such as the training subjects of firefighters and rescue operations in various extreme environments. , It can be seen that the details have been worked hard. And the scene of the heroine practicing medicine can be considered to stand up to scrutiny, no child's play.

    The male and female protagonists often meet on occasions of saving lives

    For the various scenes of two people in the same frame, generally speaking, there are coincidences, but the logic is still there. In the scene, the two concentrate on their work to save lives, and there is no sense of falling in love by using the scene of a fire or a car accident to fall in love. After one of the emergency rescues in a car accident, the wounded concealed their condition, causing all the medical staff and rescuers to fall into the danger of infectious disease infection. The emotional development of the hero and heroine.

    It’s just a certain episode, there is a scene where the heroine is trapped in the car under the bridge, the engine is turned off and water enters the train. This scene really shocked me. I'm not good at physics, and my car skills are even worse. I hope someone can tell me the principle?

    According to the general way of domestic romantic dramas, going to the sixth episode, not to mention the reunion, there should be ambiguity again, right? "Fireworks in My World" is slow and calm, and the hero and heroine rarely talk well. However, it is a pity that these visible creative intentions of not lowering intelligence, not exaggerating, and not falling in love with the naked eye can't change the weak foundation, outdated character design, and old-fashioned story of the show.

    The relationship between the two is progressing slowly

    In addition to being a doctor, the hostess is also an orphan girl from a wealthy family who is now an adopted daughter of a wealthy family. The hostess even has an unrelated older brother who has grown up with her and admired her for a long time. It is a straight suit, wearing a meticulous domineering look, always looking at the heroine with forbearing and affectionate eyes behind the silver-rimmed glasses that are standard for ascetic men.

    Personally, I feel that the positioning of the show is really a bit confusing. You say it is an idol drama, and it is a bit of an attempt at realism, otherwise those detailed descriptions of the workplace and the down-to-earth life details in the interaction of the characters are really invalid; but you call it realism, what kind of wealthy family, daughter Orphan girl, pseudo-orthopedics, a sense of Kuaishou skits rushed to my face again. There is no intention to suppress any form of work or any element of the theme, but genre works still need to clarify their own genre priorities. Elements and genres can be superimposed, but don't add them randomly.

    To give two examples of similar themes, "You Are My City Fortress" tells a love story between a doctor and a special police officer. It also has the intention of creating a realistic atmosphere, but the characters of the hero and heroine are closer to ordinary people. The emotional obstacles are more practical issues that ordinary people can easily sympathize with, such as the dangers brought by occupations, such as cognitive differences, rather than the "rich men look down on poor boys" stick to beat mandarin ducks. Ten years ago, it was considered an attractive standard in East Asian idol dramas. Now, it is difficult for people to want to smash sadomasochistic cp, but people can only expect Yang Yang to kneel on one knee in front of hundreds of housekeepers and bodyguards after being humiliated by his mother-in-law. In the momentum of calling "Young Master" in unison, he took out the black card to reveal the true identity of the Dragon King of the city, and slapped him back in the face.

    Another example is "You Are My Glory", a pure idol drama, big stars and scientists are not grounded enough, right? Then the pink bubble will go straight to the end, and it will go straight to the direction of bringing love fantasy to the audience. The only thing that touches the edge of realism is to show and sublimate the life and work difficulties faced by scientific researchers, but it is handled lightly. , did not deviate from the genre essence of idol dramas.

    However, "Fireworks in My World" suffers from the fact that it seems to want everything, but it is difficult to achieve the ultimate in a certain element or genre.

    In the past few years, the world has been in love with workplace dramas for a long time. In recent years, the industry has stopped pretending. In the past few years, popular lawyers, journalists, and doctors, together with firefighters and special police officers in the past two years, have assembled the professional lineup that is most likely to be dragged by screenwriters. A while ago, "Light Up You" was also a story about firefighters falling in love, but the heroine changed from a doctor to a reporter. Not to mention, it’s better than not knowing. In "Light Up You", the heroine, a reporter, rushed into the fire scene to find equipment regardless of obstacles, and filmed without protection under a hornet's nest. All of them were reckless without professionalism. It's all for the sake of falling in love with the male protagonist, so it can be said that it can't do anything, and the first place to add chaos, it is estimated that the real reporters off-screen can see gnashing their teeth. In comparison, at least "My Fireworks on Earth" did not scribble about the professional identities of the male and female protagonists out of thin air, ensuring the basic professional tonality and professionalism.

    And why falling in love nowadays is inseparable from the blessings of those workplace identities. The reasons are, one is that professional identities can bless the charm of the hero and heroine, the other is that workplace events can help promote the relationship between characters, and the third is that the masses are naturally entrusted with "justice, To sublimate the theme of romantic dramas, to use the socially ideal career of saving people and helping those in need, to use the words that current film and television industry project books love to use is "big pattern" and "high position". But it would be a pity if the decent-sounding professional background is only used as a kind of elite or middle-class blessing for the charm of the hero and heroine in the love story.

    In the author's opinion, in addition to the above three points, the rational use of professional identity to enhance drama can also use professional identity as a fulcrum to establish the character's history and personality. In this regard, "My Fireworks on Earth" has done a good job. The male protagonist has a strong personality. As a firefighter, his bravery, sense of honor and strong sense of mission are his strengths. As a station master, he is equally strict with his colleagues and subordinates, which are also his strengths. However, you can be strict with yourself, but you need to be strict with others depending on the situation. Sometimes if you are too sure of your own beliefs, you will lack empathy and understanding for others.

    The heroine is a good doctor with excellent skills and conscientiousness, but she suffers from a cold face and a warm heart. Her cold and reticent temperament makes it difficult to get along with leaders and colleagues, and it will also cause unnecessary misunderstandings. As an idol love, handsome men and women should naturally be beautiful, but if you are still obsessed with creating characters with excellent moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development, you will easily become the paper people in Mary Su's novels, which will make people feel fake. The reason why one can become a real "person" still needs to be complicated, and more importantly, one needs to see growth in the process of drama in order to affect the emotions of the audience.

    By the way, I also hope that some creators in the industry will not think that giving the characters a great professional background and a high-level workplace "catch the horse" can help understand the love scene, or give it to those who seem "superficial" Idol dramas, if you drag them down, they will become deeper and have an "S+" temperament. To put it bluntly, there is no subject matter or genre, and they are inherently superficial and childish, or deep and advanced. Have you seen that there are many bad dramas with the main theme? Since you want to do a certain type of subject matter, you should respect the subject matter. Don't think about it, but forget to respect the creation rules and dramatic logic of the genre itself.
