Since 1983

At noon, Qianmen Subway Station.

Zhang Baiyang rode his bicycle and arrived at the exit of the subway station. He opened the large cardboard box tied to the back seat, and there were tapes neatly inside.

This business is very profitable, a bicycle, a box of tapes, just find a crowded place, enough for the family to eat and drink.

It wasn't until the tape recorder fell and MP3 became popular that tape sellers slowly disappeared.

The front door is a big station, and the flow of people is extremely dense. There are several other shops besides him. But Zhang Baiyang took a look, and there is one person who didn't come today, it's good if he didn't come, so don't grab business.

He set up his stall and soon welcomed the first wave of customers.

A group of people came up from below, and a small group stopped. A few young people rummaged in front of the stall for a long time and asked, "Is there a high loess slope?"

"ah?"

Zhang Baiyang was taken aback, "Is it a new song?"

"I don't know, I've heard it on TV, maybe it's called this name."

"No, I don't even know the name."

Several people left disappointed.

Not long after, two girls came over again, "Boss, is there a loess high slope?"

"No, no."

"There is nothing! Look elsewhere."

The girl is gone.

Follow the third group over, "Is there a high loess slope?"

"..."

Zhang Baiyang closed himself directly, "Can you tell me what song this is? Sing a few lines and I'll listen to it."

"Okay, this song is really easy to remember!"

A young man sang loudly and sang, "My family lives on the Loess High Slope..."

Tsk!

Zhang Baiyang was surprised, why did he buy a song that came out of nowhere?

Looking at other peers, everyone is also very depressed, I have never heard of it!

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, people kept asking Huangtu Gaopo that it was from a TV series "Hutong Family". A few people are in a terrible state, damn it, they must have a look at what it is at night.

"Yo, why did you come here?"

"Hey, you guys don't have any information, right?"

At this time, the absent buddy suddenly appeared on a bicycle. He didn't say much, he tore open the cardboard box and shouted: ""The Loess High Slope", the latest arrival, first-come, first-served!"

hum!

A group of people squeezed through.

...

"Pop music has developed rapidly in the past two years, and most people have accepted and fell in love with this type of music. In particular, the introduction of popular TV dramas and the huge influence of the Spring Festival Gala have made a considerable number of young people addicted to Hong Kong and Taiwan music.

But when we accept foreign things, we should not ignore a problem: we are extremely lacking in original soil, and the streets and alleys are full of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, cover songs and Western disco.

Every era has its classic sound. Compared with our ever-increasing living conditions, original music has never been valued.

However, this situation has changed recently. Since last year's "Xintianyou", several similar songs have emerged in the mainland music scene...

Recently, there is another new work "Loess High Slope", which is very worthy of everyone's discussion and appreciation, but the way it appeared is a bit unexpected-in a TV series. "

Xu Fei put down the newspaper and sighed inwardly: I was also surprised that the first report that stirred the pulse of the audience was actually a music review article.

At the beginning of designing the script, he decided to praise this song. It happened that Liang Zuo wrote a single episode of pop music, so he put "Loess High Pole" into it.

In reality, Zhang Jinglin sang for the first time at a party. Because the media lagged behind, there was no follow-up and no popularity. As a result, Fan Linlin's singing became popular.

Now Beijing TV must be making a lot of money, and Zhang Jinglin's version of "Loess High Slope" has become popular, but unfortunately she has also gone abroad.

Two episodes of "Hutong People" will be broadcast at 8:00 p.m., and yesterday's episode will be replayed after the broadcast.

Two days after the broadcast, there was no response from the society, and all the leaders in the station were smoking. Li Mu kept comforting, wait, wait, wait.

Finally after six episodes, with this song as a starting point, the brewing audience began to explode.

First up are the newspapers:

"Both the market and the connotation, both popular and profound, with a unique sense of humor."

""Hutong Family" not only presents our real living conditions in details, but also always carries a sense of tolerance and care.

Each story echoes the times, such as fashion models, summer night blackout, popular songs, etc., which can remind people of social reality and themselves. "

""Hutong Family" can be called the biggest surprise of this year. The ridicule, humor, irony, and banter in the play are the first of its kind in TV series. Its appearance has expanded the aesthetic character of Chinese TV dramas."

Yu Jiajia's article is the most representative. She abandoned the position of a media person and is completely subjective:

"The sitcom is actually translated by the creator of "Hutong Family". The English is Situation Comedy, which is widely disseminated in the West. It has a fixed lineup of leading actors, simple scenes, mainly lines, and single-episode stories.

Let's talk about the scene and character settings first.

It is undoubtedly very clever to put the scene in Dazayuan, which itself is full of strong market atmosphere. The characters are also very rich. There are four generations of old, middle-aged and young people, including retired state employees, literary and art cadres who have served in the army, intellectuals, ordinary workers, unemployed, students, and foreigners.

In terms of age, identity, education level, and place of origin, they almost include most groups in society.

Such a group of people gathered together is naturally full of wit and wit.

In recent years, a number of excellent comedy movies have emerged in China, but TV dramas have always been blank. Fortunately, this deficiency has been made up for now.

Comedy needs to be popular, it is too elegant to be self-admired, and it is too vulgar to be put on the stage. "Hutong People" is a TV series that has a viewing threshold, but the screenwriter cleverly includes two types of groups.

One is cultural groups. For example, in the first episode, Bai Fou sells books, Zucchini talks about the international situation, and intellectuals will like it very much.

One is the popular group, the most typical one is wearing safflower. She is like an adjuster in the courtyard. She doesn't like to read books and newspapers, and even audiences with lower education levels can follow along.

The more thoughtful person sees the irony and thinks about it. Those who thought less laughed loudly, after dinner.

This is comedy.

But the biggest surprise is the acting.

If the performance of "The Last Emperor" is trying to return to life. The group portrait of "Hutong Family" is life itself, but it is exaggerated by art.

As soon as I closed my eyes, people like Bai Fenden, Zucchini, and Dai Honghua came to life in my mind. Each character can find a kind of person in reality, so as to become real and clear.

Sitcoms, or genre TV series, started from "Hutong Family".

It stands here like a benchmark, the first and possibly the pinnacle. "

...

As soon as the media followed up, the more people paid attention.

Audiences these days love to watch in-depth literary and artistic works. Because of the openness of the society and the conservativeness of the society, the two extremes appeared at the same time, which is very rare in Chinese history.

Therefore, we should pay attention to viewpoints, and if we have viewpoints, we can communicate, speculate, and judge. This is where people’s fun lies.

"Morning, Teacher Xu!"

"Morning, Teacher Xu!"

After broadcasting ten episodes, this morning, Xu Fei came to the center for a small meeting, and his colleagues greeted him one after another.

Teacher Xu's title, the first year it was called a bit of sarcasm, the second year it was called more sincere, and the third year it was called flattering.

The popularity of "Hutong Family" is beyond people's imagination, and it is far from reaching its peak, and it has only been broadcast for a quarter of it!

The meeting is nothing serious, let's follow up the progress of each episode. Zhao Baogang already regretted it a bit, he knew he would have joined the group earlier, so he made this play!

"Come, come, open the letter, open the letter!"

After the meeting, everyone was chatting together, Feng trousers came in with a sack on his shoulders, and he poked it, "Good guy, it's all the accumulated voices of the people, a vast ocean!"

"Why do you still write letters in the local area? If you don't make a phone call, I will pay for the steel."

"Writing a letter is more emotional. Send it to the mailbox far away, and put it in the duty room nearer. The doorman has always felt that there are thieves recently."

"Come and see!"

Everyone enthusiastically began to open the letter.

"Thank you for making a real comedy."

"I like Yu Langu so much, why did I marry a fat man?"

"Tao Bei is so beautiful!!!"

"Hey, listen to..."

Holding one, Xu Fei waved his hand and said, "There are negative opinions. A retired employee said that this show is vulgar, boring, and not popular. It satirizes veteran cadres and needs to apologize to the people.

Sarcastic old cadres, what apology to the masses? This is the traitor who broke into the employees. "

"I also have..."

Feng Trousers held a letter and said, "The language is exaggerated, the performance is absurd, and the whole thing is inexplicable. How can it look like a work of art?"

"Me too, hey, say we are the worst TV series of the year!"

"I have this too."

"Hey, there are quite a few."

Everyone counted hundreds of letters, one-third of which were criticisms. Those who speak harshly and even ask the TV station to stop broadcasting will poison the next generation of flowers.

A few people are not happy anymore. The problem can be big or small, and it needs to be taken seriously.

"Shall we respond?" Feng Pants asked.

"It's hard to respond, we are the creators, we can't stand out." Zheng Xiaolong shook his head.

"In fact, there are many people who support us. The key is that outsiders don't know." Chen Yanmin said.

Xu Fei thought for a while, and said, "Then find a third-party media and open a post, ah bah, open an audience interaction column, and let them argue by themselves."

"That's fine, get in touch right away!"

...

Teacher Xu came to the door in person and found Yu Jiajia. Yu Jiajia took him to see the deputy editor, and the deputy editor made a decision on the spot, which is called a win-win situation.

So on the second day, "Beijing Metropolis Daily" opened up an interactive column for the audience, which was dedicated to discussing "Hutong Family".

In the era of lack of a public communication platform, this is simply a big killer. "Hutong Family" has become a social topic, and everyone wants to get involved.

The audience is clearly divided, most of the critics are elderly audiences, and most of the supporters are young and middle-aged audiences.

The former can't accept this language style, and then the ideological value in the play and the way of expression. And this group of people scolded while watching, never ending an episode.

One of them is supported by many people:

"The show claims to reflect the reality of society. Looking at the first few episodes, although there are some real themes, pop songs, blackouts, petty theft, divorce, etc. are really superficial and powerless.

It's neither evocative nor touching, just empty words. "

Even though Yu Jiajia had watched it many times, she was still very angry, her brain circuit seemed to be different, and the young people understood it, but these old people just want to argue.

That's right, in their eyes, these people are like gangsters.

"Okay, let's start!"

Mom has become the most loyal audience. Yu Jiajia threw away the newspaper, turned to the TV, and the opening title appeared.

Episode thirteenth: "Little Nanny".

Screenwriter of this episode: Xu Fei.
