Wei Zi is going to break through.

When the novel "Two Men Hosts" was just popular, it was once suggested that "some excellent themes don't need a woman host".

However, from the call of the market to the rise of ideas, and then to the shaping of works, facing the audience is a process of comprehensively testing how creators and producers grasp the psychology of the audience and find the right rhythm. At present, some well-known film and television companies have begun to put aside prejudice and March into a new field-the theme of "double women".

A few years ago, the little sugar man who focused on the theme of boutique campus held the big girl with urban background; Xinli Media started the behind-the-scenes team of "My First Half Life" and adapted Yi Shu's work "The Last Romance" again. Perfect World Film and Television set out to prepare the costume drama "Stars Falling Sugar" of the "Honey Trilogy"; Recently, entertainment film and television also showed the "double mirror" mode of "killing Eve". These plays all point to the theme of "two women masters" and have huge excavation space.

The theme of "two women masters", which has been silent for a period of time, may become the next export of female themes when more "two men masters" dramas have not met the audience. Gu Duo interviewed Zhu Zhenhua, the founder of Little Sugar Man, and a veteran female drama fan to see if he could make a preliminary judgment on the current double female drama.

The reference significance of the past "two women masters" with mixed feelings

In recent years, when we talk about the successful theme of "two actresses", the first thing that comes to mind is the film version of July and An Sheng, which helped Zhou Dongyu and Sandra win the Golden Horse Award. The appearance of "July and An Sheng" proves to people that "Friendship of Little Girls" can also shake the big screen. People's goal is not only to pay attention to actors, but to start thinking about the ancient presentation of "two actresses". We came wearing colored glasses, but it handed over a beautiful answer sheet.

"July and An Sheng" shows the meaning of friendship, which is the basis for the story to move people's hearts. The strength of maintaining a relationship for many years lies in mutual yearning and complementarity. Under the quiet appearance in July, she longed for Ansheng's tossing, but Ansheng really longed for a stable relationship. Women's friendship has witnessed how many deep desires each other has in interdependence, how many undercurrents have surged in those lost years, and how long they have supported each other and stumbled. The so-called "love each other and kill each other" is only known to them.

It is precisely because the two heroines need to be evenly matched and each has its own merits that the theme of "double heroines" has never been a foolproof card, which is a great test for screenwriters to shine. The "two women masters" who talk about friendship are farther away from Princess Pearl and Taking the Wrong Bus, each with its own CP line and moving forward together. They are not friends, but enemies. There are two actresses who make the old-fashioned drama "Fighting for Men" brilliant, such as "Fighting for Flying Seven" by He and "Fighting for Zhao Zhou" by Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo. Without the unique charm of either side, there would not be such a classic bridge.

Focusing on the present, the success of July and An Sheng gives a proposition about the theme of "two women masters", which also leaves more questions for the latecomers. Is the connection between "two women" only love? Is there any other way out between the two heroines besides "grabbing men" and "tearing"? How many times can the audience eat this routine?

As a veteran female drama fan, Xiaojin thinks that it is difficult to convince the audience in the visual range at present. "A very important reason is that our domestic double heroine drama has been connecting the two heroines with emotions. Generally, they just like the same man or write their own stories. It's two skins, which may be related to the writer's ability. For example, in "Bankrupt Sisters", two heroines are stuck together by career lines.

Due to the deep-rooted patriarchal social background in the East, the functionality of female roles in previous dramas was greater than the display of personality. Looking forward to the past successful "Two Women Hosts" dramas, most outstanding women are either attached to men or carry out activities around men. Swallow and Wei Zi have different personalities and become sisters of the opposite sex. They came to Beijing to "find their father", and Li Yuhu and Du Bingyan, two clever women, finally "married the right man". Even if such a story core was a breakthrough at that time, is it still useful today? At the moment when "women's respect", "women's rights" and "big sister" are prevalent, the answer must be no.

The online drama "My Friend Miss Chen Bailu" 20 16 made a regrettable demonstration. In the story, after the life situation took a turn for the worse, Chen Bailu still kept a high profile and did not bow to his fate. She wore a red dress to the dance during the day, and returned to an empty room at night to eat only a bowl of Dahongpao soaked in white rice. The characters are very prominent, and the perspective of girlfriends' memories in the play also adds a little mystery to the characters. However, in the second half of the story, Chen Bailu suddenly fell in love and lost himself. The love triangle with his girlfriend and boyfriend left the role in a stereotype. Moreover, the description of another female host, Haitang, is too thin to set the pattern of "red and white roses".

Because there is a great deviation between the current female theme and the audience's expectation, even if there are successful cases, the reference of the domestic double-female main drama is indeed limited, and we are curious about which direction the current creators will start from.

So is the fate of the two masters.

At present, the subdivision types of Ernvxi are various, and the background of the times covers ancient times, modern times and the Republic of China.

The Star Falling into Sugar tells the story of a pair of princesses in the world. My sister was gentle and kind, and was promised to be the princess of the protoss, while my sister was clever and cunning, and was promised to be the magic princess of the inferno. Because of an own goal, the two sisters were wrongly served, which not only caused countless jokes, but also involved two romantic and beautiful fairy love stories. This is the finale of the perfect film "Honey Trilogy" following "Sweet as Frost" and "Stewed Sydney with Rock Sugar", which was created by the masters of the first two films. The news of the play came out in March, and the cast has not yet been announced, but the story form of Double Flowers has been determined.

"The Last Romance" and "The Great Girl" are both stories about two girls with different family backgrounds and different personality characteristics growing up together. The Great Girl tells the story of Lu Ke and Shen Siyi, two girls who grew up together but have different personalities, facing the fetters of career and emotional growth.

"The Last Romance" tells the story that Jiang, a quiet rich girl, and Zhu Suosuo, a lively civilian, support each other all the way and become close friends. The original work is from Yi Shu's novel of the same name, and Maggie Cheung and Cherie Chung starred in the movie version in 1988. The latest version of the drama was created by the original crew of My First Half Life, and is still supervised by Xinli, written by Qin Wen and directed by Shen Yan. This time, the actors were replaced by young actors starring Nini and Liu Shishi.

At present, there are so many optional themes with successful experience, why do you want to make a "two-girl play"?

Zhu Zhenhua, the founder of Little Sugar Man, the producer of "Great Girl", thinks that "the stories of the two female hosts will be more delicate, and it is easier to capture the hearts of the majority of female audiences by telling stories from a female perspective. The interaction between the two subjects is more extreme. Women, or human nature, are very complicated. Two women give each other life in a more complicated way than a romantic relationship. The core is beautiful and ornamental. "

In fact, compared with the friendship-oriented double hostess, the most "rare thing is more valuable" is the ambiguous double hostess. Although this kind of revolutionary friendship between the same sex has received unexpected feedback in The Untamed and other dramas of "Two Women Hosts", there is no precedent of "Two Women Hosts" in China. The most prominent example in foreign dramas is the 20 18 American drama "Kill Eve", which tells the story of "If you can catch me" between an MI5 office worker and a gold medal killer.

As a new drama "Double Mirror", which is a trading entertainment film and television, it can be said that it first seized the opportunity of the ambiguous double-female drama. In Weibo, JUNG WOO mentioned the cool positioning of the play and exposed the respective attributes and lines of the two heroines. Xu Youyi is a famous Shanghai female writer. Her husband cheated her agent, while Wei Yan was a female killer disguised as a photo studio owner. Regarding the relationship between the two, JUNG WOO revealed that "both women have saved their lives. They have always doubted each other, but they have always trusted each other. Destiny has only one answer for them, that is, go all the way, never back down."

It seems that several dramas are trying to create a state in which "two female masters" witness each other and share the same fate in the new era, thus creating a subtle tangled and integrated relationship between women, and strong plot and strong setting are indispensable. But is this breakthrough just a symbolic breakthrough? How to satisfy the audience who want to see them talk about sweet love and at the same time want to see "a model of women fighting hand in hand"? How to find a balance between the two heroines in line with their positioning is a difficult problem for the creators.

How do two female hosts need to be promoted to win the audience?

Counting the previous works of Xiao Tang people, Hello, Old Times, The Best of Us and In a hurry that year all depict the adolescence of the post-80s and post-90s in a delicate and realistic way. The inevitable Zhenhua Middle School and wide-sleeved school uniforms have become the standard to reflect the sense of youth. According to Zhu Zhenhua, the main story stage of "The Great Girl" takes place in the life stage after the role goes to work, with the choice of workplace and love, which mainly attracts people aged 22-35.

Zhu Zhenhua believes that "The Great Girl", a two-woman drama, is first of all an urban theme with realistic techniques; However, this play has many fashion elements. "We also want to present a more textured lifestyle of contemporary young people, the current values of young people, and take care of their emotions." The overall script is close to the lives of young people, breaking the traditional definition of women. There are many ways of life in this society. As independent individuals, the ultimate emotional expression between two women, that is, most female audiences can find the shadow of * * * from the roles of whitehairpin and Gina.

Once the stills of Ni Ni and Liu Shishi, the last romance, were exposed, a group of CP fans named "Writing Poems for Ni" quickly appeared on the Internet. In the early stage of this drama, the protagonist is also a double female host CP who is evenly matched.

Slightly different from The Last Romance and Two-sided Mirror, the heroes of The Great Girl, whitehairpin and Jin Chen, both have the title of "straight men beheaded". It is difficult for female audience to associate with each other's entanglements, but whether they can win over male audience and let male audience have the experience of girls watching the main drama with two men can leave a suspense.

Zhu Zhenhua told Gu Duo that "The Great Girl" is more like a window to the women's world and a window for men to understand women's feelings. The male characters in the story are representative in life, men and women are in the relationship of * * * and growth, and the secular world is also imprisoning men when defining women. This traditional stereotype is avoided in the play. This is a story of a woman, but it is also a story of a man and a woman.

No matter how the theme of women changes in recent years, and how the creators attract female audiences in various ways, the topic of surrounding women's living environment and exploring the boundaries of women's roles still occupies the center of public opinion in this era, and even touching will bring one debate after another. This is an indisputable fact. As for the presentation of women's current situation and women's relations, whether it is realism or idealism, it is good to regard it as a topic that can be played. Any creation that touches the lifeblood of the times is in line with the current needs, but a novel proposition is not omnipotent. It is most important to solve the real story core and context.

According to Li Xiao, a screenwriter who is the judge of Shanghai Magnolia this year, it is not a phenomenon that women's works become the darling of the market, but a global trend, which is closely related to the main audience of TV series, women's social sharing attributes and women's awareness awakening.

If we say that the rise of "mistress" is the product of readers and authors giving up the role of functional or service hostess in order to highlight the story and the true feelings of the characters to a greater extent, and the attention of "mistress" to women completely puts women's psychological and emotional needs in the spotlight.

Similar to "two men and two women", "two women and two men" should also fight side by side to complete their own growth and life transformation. The difference is that the heroine's emotional direction and mental journey will be more tortuous. Whether this will add color to the "double heroines" or lower expectations, and whether the double heroines drama will win its own core audience, all the answers are still waiting for the drama to be announced.
