The drama is produced by CCTV, Shangshi Pictures and Youku. It tells the story of a 39-year-old insurance practitioner Hu Manli (played by Sun Li) who is suddenly faced with a competitor at the highlight of her life, and both her career and marriage are challenged. The instigator is the 28-year-old Xue Xiaozhou (played by Dong Zijian), a down-and-out rich second-generation who has just entered the insurance industry. After several encounters, the two learn the truth behind the scenes, gradually resolve misunderstandings, join forces, and become excellent "opening orders" partners who are both teachers and friends, and each reaps business success and true life.
This is the first collaboration between Sun Li and Dong Zijian, and it is also Sun Li's return to the CCTV big screen after nearly four years. In April this year, Sun Li, who had been away from the TV drama circle for more than three years, released two new works in succession: "Above the Dark Clouds" and "A Pretty Good Life". Previously, when she was promoting "Above the Dark Clouds" on Weibo, she said, "Hu Manli is also waiting in line to perform."
It is worth mentioning that "A Good Life" uses Shanghai as the "battlefield" for the protagonists to pursue their careers. The alleys and lanes with a strong sense of life and the lights and shadows of the Bund with vibrant neon lights present a unique Shanghai style. And Sun Li has contributed her most "Shanghai-style" film and television performance in many years. In the play, we will often hear her naturally uttering "Shanghainese" golden sentences.
The series was created by the best team in the industry. Director Wang Jun has unique insights into urban themes. He won the Best Director Award at the 26th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award for his well-received work "Little Joy". His dramas such as "The Story of Rose" and "Xiao Min's Family" have set off a nationwide craze for dramas. Screenwriters Fei Huijun and Li Xiaoliang have co-created works such as "Bottom Line" and "The Second Child Era". The creative team has made a breakthrough in choosing the insurance industry as the starting point for the story, expanding the creative vision to many real difficulties and opportunities in the financial field, focusing on social livelihood topics such as pension and medical care, and combining the narrative techniques of life stream to explore the true meaning of life and the diverse expressions of human warmth, which will bring a different drama-chasing experience to the audience.
