"Xiao Man's Life"
After Jiang Xin's firefighting reshoots, "School District Room" was renamed "Xiao Man's Life", and director Wang Jun finally got the drama off the ground.
The original drama was launched three years ago. It tells a series of stories about a couple who want to send their children to school, and revolve around the issue of whether to buy a house in the school district. Now it seems that the story content of "Xiao Man's Life" has not changed at all, and the characters should not have been significantly changed. Jiang Xin also lost weight and dyed her hair, which is more in line with the character's lively personality.

However, it took three years of filming to be broadcast, which is too long for a domestic drama. At the beginning, district housing was an important social issue, but now the discussion trend is completely different. Moreover, seeing the protagonist frequently saying that there is no need to worry about the second child or five million, and lines such as the best friend saying that if you want to buy a house, you can buy a house, it is really heart-breaking. Some netizens have already commented that it is too suspended.
However, director Wang Jun's ability is still worthy of belief. "Little Man's Life" can be regarded as a dinner drama that the whole family can watch.
"Welcome to Maillot Village"

It tells the story of the Chinese foreign aid medical team represented by Ma Jia, Jiang Daqiao, Wu Mei and others who rescued the wounded in Africa and established relationships with the local people. The story of a deep friendship.

It is also the most difficult drama that the director said he has been working in for more than 20 years, including a long trip to Africa. He was a big man and didn’t have any experience to refer to. He had also flinched, but in the end he decided to go for it despite the difficulties, “restore the touching stories that really happened in Africa to the audience, and truly present China’s foreign aid medical treatment bit by bit.” team." In addition, the director also took the actors to experience life and observed multiple surgeries in the local area.
Adequate preparation and the acting skills of the actors are both indispensable. The actors in this drama are all capable. Even if they play the main theme, they are also interesting and lively. So far, netizens have said that the plot is grounded and not suspended, especially The protagonist Ma Jia's experiences and behavior are very similar to the lives of people around her.

"News Queen"
The drama that carries the audience this week is none other than "News Queen". On various platforms, the lines in the drama crush domestic dramas. While domestic dramas are still talking about reporter heroines relying on their beauty to get interviews, the reporter heroines in Hong Kong dramas are carrying machines, running to the scene, going deep into cases to check information, competing for anchors, and trying their best to grab them. Sister Man said, in this business, it’s not just about grabbing people, grabbing time, grabbing headlines, and grabbing topics. As a colleague, the author shouts in my heart that I agree!
"News Queen" Douban score rose to 8.1 points.
A series of lines have also been compared by netizens. When domestic dramas are still using "You can't get married" to curse people, this drama actually uses "Find a man and marry me" to curse people! Is there any curse more vicious than this?
When the protagonists of domestic dramas voluntarily work overtime and shout for their dedication to their careers, the worker character in this drama said, "How can I do so much for how much money I have to pay for the company?" "Look at the duty schedule, I can get off work." I don’t care what your calling is, I’m here to find a job.”
When the domestic drama cried and complained that he was bullied, this drama said, "Whether he eats me or I eat him, who can say for sure?"
The line "Let's find a man to marry" was out of the circle.
The reason why it resonates online is because these are some lines that truly reflect the living conditions of contemporary migrant workers. Although the story is a bit dramatic, not every TV station is so competitive, but Director Liang also said that in a company, there are always one-third of the people working on the drama, one-third of the people who are lying down, and one-third of the people who are lying down. People are preventing involution. Harmful, who says it’s not?

"China Central Radio and Television Station 2023 Host Competition"

Who would have thought that the first contestant to be eliminated would become the first batch of new voices to audition on the CCTV Variety Channel, and would even appear on two classic programs in succession.
Among the players, He Yikun has become the focus of netizens' attention. No one would have expected before the game that the youngest and only college player in the field could successfully break through. What is even more incredible is that he defeated the favorite player He Qing and advanced strongly.
