In the film and television industry, Liu Xiaoqing's name has always been closely associated with "high energy" and "strong magnetic field". The 74-year-old legendary actress has once again proven her unyielding spirit and dedication to her profession.

Her first short drama "Mengbao Assist: Fifty-year-old Wedding Pet" is scheduled to be launched on 28/0, focusing on the theme of middle-aged and elderly marriage and love. This work not only shows her persistent pursuit of acting career, but also shows us her artistic spirit of fearless challenge and innovation.

I spent 74 yuan 0 to finish watching the short drama "Mengbao Assist: Fifty-year-old Marriage and Love" starring 0-year-old Liu Xiaoqing. As probably one of the few viewers on the whole network who pay to watch it with real money, I feel it is necessary to talk about this "magical" work.

1. Plot: There is a sting of reality in the dog's blood

The beginning of the story is a textbook-level image of a "vicious daughter-in-law": driving her mother-in-law out of the house, seizing real estate, and speaking ill of her. Although this extreme setting is exaggerated, it accurately hits the pain point of middle-aged and elderly audiences - in the context of China's aging society, more and more elderly people are facing similar family difficulties.

The female professor played by Liu Xiaoqing turned around and married the president's younger brother who was 20 years younger, this seemingly absurd plot has a bit of a realistic metaphor when you think about it. When the traditional family relationship collapses, can the middle-aged and elderly only swallow their anger? The show gives a dramatic but relieving answer.

2. Performance: 74-year-old Liu Xiaoqing can still play

It must be admitted that the biggest attraction of the whole drama is Liu Xiaoqing himself. At the age of 74, he is still radiant in front of the camera, and his line skills beat a group of young actors.

She performed the grace and calmness of an intellectual woman, the stubbornness in the face of injustice, and the shyness and joy of regaining love. This kind of layering is something that traffic stars can never reach.

But the performances of the other actors were uneven. The performance of "Vicious Daughter-in-law" is too facial, and the acting skills of the young president are also a little stiff. This kind of acting fault makes the texture of the whole drama greatly reduced.

3. Production: A common problem of low-cost short dramas

As a low-budget short drama, roughness in production is inevitable: scene transitions are blunt, and several main scenes are used repeatedly; The lighting is too bland and lacks a sense of cinema; The costume is full of cheapness, especially the dress of the supporting characters; The editing rhythm is not smooth enough, and some transitions appear abrupt.

However, it is worth affirming that the series still strives to present some wonderful scenes within a limited budget.

4. Significance: An attempt to break through the shackles of age

Regardless of the level of production, the greatest value of this drama lies in the theme breakthrough. In the domestic drama market, middle-aged and elderly people are either background boards, or they can only act in bitter dramas. Liu Xiaoqing challenged the theme of sweet pets at the age of 74, which is a breakthrough in the industry's ageism.

Although the setting of "a domineering president falls in love with a menopausal woman" has caused controversy, it at least allows us to see another way to express the emotional needs of middle-aged and elderly people. This kind of attempt requires more courage than those cookie-cutter youth idol dramas.

In this era full of girlish aesthetics, Liu Xiaoqing proved with his actions: women's charm should not be defined by age. Although the plot is bloody, at least it allows us to see another way to express the emotional needs of middle-aged and elderly women.

Is it worth this 9 block 0? If you want to see something fresh, or simply want to support Liu Xiaoqing, who is not taking the usual path, then this money is not a loss. But if you are going for a high-quality drama, it is recommended to lower your expectations.

After all, watching 74-year-old Grandma Qing tear up her vicious daughter-in-law and talk about New Year's love in the play, this kind of experience really can't be found elsewhere.
