“Sir, your loan account is overdue. Please deposit sufficient funds into the account in time. If it exceeds ten days, it will affect your credit record.”

A middle-aged man was silent, listening to the call from the bank urging repayment, and sat on a park bench and sighed deeply!This sigh is probably a taste of life that only countless middle-aged people understand!

“I am over 40 years old. Am I not clear about what I should and should not do?”

A domestic urban drama has started.

Directed by Han Xiaojun and starring Qin Hailu, Bao Jianfeng, Zuo Xiaoqing, Tian Yu, Pan Zhilin, Sun Hao, Du Yuan, Tan Kai, Li Yixiao and others - "The Time Is Just Right".

I know what everyone wants to say. Can Hunan Satellite TV’s urban family drama not be suspended?How can it not be bloody?

But after watching 3 episodes in one go, the series really gave me a refreshing sense of surprise: no bloody, no suspension, no mistress, no super mother-in-law, no super scumbag, which is completely unique among domestic urban dramas.Take the usual path.

But the ratings are really not low“

On the first day of broadcast, the ratings for the same time period climbed to the second place on satellite TV.

When the first wave of feedback came out, one audience member mentioned: Finally, there is a serious life drama.

The time of middle-aged people is often considered to be the dispensable second half after the outcome of the game of life has been decided.

The life test papers are almost done, and the remaining unanswered questions, the pressure on parents, the troubles of marriage, the dilemma of unemployment, everything is not good.

How on earth could the time be just right?This drama explains everything clearly.1: Story

The play is adapted from the online novel - Mom is Happy.It's obvious at first glance that he's talking about middle-aged people.

Compared with the beauty of 20 and 30 years old, 40 years old should be the most tangled period of life.

Life has gone through ups and downs, and we have endured the complexity of society and the beatings of reality, but we still encounter various bottlenecks in life unexpectedly.

《The Time Is Just Right》 focuses on three urban middle-aged couples. When faced with a series of troublesome problems such as mid-life crisis, children's education, parents' care for the elderly, work pressure and marriage crisis, the middle-aged people's lives of laughter and tears are revealed..

Three middle-aged couples, each family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.

The first couple, Xu Mengan (played by Qin Hailu) and Li Lin (played by Bao Jianfeng)

Midlife dilemma: The husband is unemployed, the wife is facing a major layoff, the daughter is suspected of being in puppy love, and the family is almost out of money.

The first one to appear was Xu Mengan, played by Qin Hailu.

She found that her husband Li Lin was doing something wrong recently.

The family was planning to change their house, and the agent called to get the house delivered in advance. When the husband heard the good news, he looked a little uneasy.

Not long after, his father took the initiative to give him a bank card because he encountered Li Lin grabbing eggs at a discount in the supermarket and selling insurance in WeChat Moments.

What made her even more worried was that she accidentally opened her husband's mobile phone and saw a WeChat message from her husband's old lover in Beijing. After asking again, her husband seriously warned her that he was going to Beijing on a business trip.

But when she asked her husband's former colleagues, she found out that her husband had not cheated on her, but that he had lost his job.

To be more precise, three months ago, the entire department was laid off.

It's not that Li Lin hasn't found a job, but for a mid-level technical person like him in his 40s, finding a job is not as easy as for a fresh graduate. He can only work part-time in a related company in the past, such as express delivery.

The couple finally spoke frankly to each other, but when the family financial accounts were calculated, their headache became even bigger.

To make matters worse, as an Internet company executive, the company began to lay off employees on a large scale,

The tasks were assigned to her own department, and those who were laid off pointed directly at her nose and scolded her.

A lot of bad things happened, not only was her promotion blocked, but her competitors in the same company also began to covet her position.

In the midst of her anxiety, she also discovered that her second child had arrived unexpectedly.”Can it give birth?“”Why not?——

Compared with her physical and mental exhaustion, her best friend Chen Wanzhen doesn't have so many family worries because she is divorced.

The second couple, Chen Wanzhen (played by Zuo Xiaoqing) and Yu Hai (played by Tian Yu)

Mid-life dilemma: - Wang Qinian - The cheating mistress provokes, the divorced man wants to remarry again

Chen Wanzhen was once an elite in the financial industry, but after working as a full-time housewife for six years, she became less and less valued and loved by her husband Yu Hai.

Because she was ill and didn't pick up her two daughters in time, her husband made a fuss about her when she got home and told her what else she could do now.

“Wang Qinian”, you have really changed.

What’s even more outrageous is that I gave my husband a suit in the morning and saw him having an affair with his female secretary.

A third party also blatantly sent photos of the two of them in the hotel to provoke them. Forget the provocation, he sent text messages to provoke them before they were perfect. It was so arrogant.

After much suffering, she decided to return to the workplace. However, after secretly finding a job as an in-house clerk in a real estate company, she met her husband and a third party who were chatting and laughing while looking at the house.

Chen Wan is really tough. Not only is she not bitter, but she talks directly to her husband about divorce.

Go home and hand the divorce agreement to your husband directly. If you love divorce but don’t want to divorce, we’ll see you in court.

On the other side, she met the domineering president (played by Tan Kai) who had admired her for a long time at work.

“Wang Qinian” It’s easy to get divorced, but not so easy to get remarried.

The third couple: the heroine’s sister Xu Mengxin (played by Pan Zhilin) ​​and Jia Haowen (played by Sun Hao)

Midlife dilemma: Hormone imbalance crisis during pregnancy, ruining relationships

Xu Mengxin may be the most enviable wife in the entire drama.

The husband is rich, he holds her in the palm of his hand, and they are married. He also tries to please his father-in-law every day, sending large and small packages of things to his house. If he can't find a turtle, he buys her again.

My father-in-law also made a direct request: I don’t want the single one, I want the double one.

But because she suffered from hormonal imbalance during pregnancy, her temperament changed drastically, her mood changed drastically, and there was nothing she disliked about her husband.

Even if the husband is a kind-hearted person and a good man who cares deeply about his wife, the relationship still breaks down.

In this way, the three middle-aged families are all quickly approaching the edge of collapse. The bitterness of marriage, the troubles of life, and the crisis of middle age are like a combination paper. Every question is difficult to solve and every question must be answered.right.

Amidst the turmoil of middle-aged life, the story of - the time is just right - unfolds!2: Perception

《The time is just right》After watching the first three episodes, if you ask me what my most direct impression is, I will say three words, no routine!

Familiar actors, familiar division of roles, familiar light comedy atmosphere, familiar mid-life crisis.

Domestic urban dramas like these are never bloody packages?How can we not use tricks?This kind of non-conventional approach is based on two aspects.

First, the rhythm of the whole drama is very fast, without any sloppiness, and the narrative is neat and clean. In just a few strokes, the involvement and current situation of the three families are outlined.

As a middle-aged healing light comedy, in the first three episodes, it integrates real-life topics such as workplace struggles, middle-aged unemployment, family trivial matters, and second-child issues, focusing on never wasting the audience's time.

Although it directly faces the ups and downs of women in the workplace, love, and family, director Han Jianjun did not follow the path of a traditional urban drama. He did not deliberately amplify conflicts and create conflicts. After 3 episodes, not even a decent mistress was seen.

Instead, it is decent to use a light and joyful style to restore daily life and talk about the struggles in the workplace and the bonds of family members that can be seen in reality.

Secondly, it is a redefinition of "forty without confusion". Compared with the ancients' ideal life of 40 without confusion, the director uses the 40-year-old to face various confusions in society, workplace and family, stepping on the audience's true feelings.Pain point.

Especially the story of Bao Jianfeng's middle-aged unemployment, the helplessness and embarrassment, and the fact that he had to try hard to hide it from his family, and could only use countless lies to cover up one lie. In the end, the story couldn't contain the fire, which is the easiest to empathize with.

The favorability of this part of the plot also comes from the fact that the screenwriter is very detailed about the career details of the middle-aged unemployed, and it is not just a show.

For example, the male protagonist is the technical backbone of the company and his entire department is laid off, which is already very realistic.

Later, when I went to look for a job, the interviewer made all kinds of sarcasm and look down on me, intentionally or unintentionally. Every minute, I, a middle-aged uncle, felt like the audience: Is the screenwriter thinking about me?

Even in the end, the male protagonist had no choice but to work part-time in a former affiliated company as equipment technical support.

This is also my personal experience.This screenwriter must have had some experience, and the sense of reality comes from real details.

Bao Jianfeng's solid acting skills make the character's encounters more convincing.

In short, the series does have the familiar taste of domestic urban life dramas, but the bloody smell and the sense of suspension are basically removed. It focuses on reality. I believe that old urban drama viewers will not reject it!3: Acting skills

The cast of "The Time Is Just Right" is not the most luxurious among urban dramas, but the acting skills are adequate. Not only are the actors strong, but the roles are also particularly suitable.

The three actresses Qin Hailu, Zuo Xiaoqing and Pan Zhilin all fit the roles very well, and there is no pressure to control the roles with their acting skills.

Qin Hailu's sassiness, Zuo Xiaoqing's calmness, and Pan Zhilin's coquettishness are all flawless.

But what surprised me the most was the performance of the three brothers-in-law.

First, protect the edge of the sword

Bao Jianfeng's acting is so solid.

The handsome boy who played the movie "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" back then did not play the role of the emperor or dance this time, but played the role of a middle-aged unemployed former technical backbone.

It's not like the audience has never seen Bao Jianfeng's acting skills, but most of them saw him playing the emperor.

This time, the Li Lin he played was less royal and more middle-aged, calm and depressed.

Especially the hesitation and confusion of middle-aged frustration, he didn't even act like he was acting.Many actors would choose to cry and burst into tears. Bao Jianfeng's interpretation method was to sit on the ground lonely and lonely, and the character's psychology came out all at once.

He also acted very well in concealing his unemployment state from his wife, giving him a feeling of loneliness and loss.

This character is written with a human touch, and Bao Jianfeng plays it well. Without any lines, and with a small expression covered by a smile, he shows the embarrassment of being unemployed when his daughter sees through it.

Bao Jianfeng has become a professional actor in ancient puppet dramas over the years, which is such a waste.

Second, Tian Yu

Among the three brothers-in-law, it is difficult to decide which one has the best performance, but if one has to say that the role is breakthrough, it is undoubtedly Tian Yu.

Who would have thought that Tian Yu, who is famous for his wife slave Wang Qinian, would play such a scumbag this time that makes people want to beat him up.

The face is so familiar, the tone of voice is so familiar, but this time Yu Hai is full of disgust.

He is used to being indifferent to his wife's efforts, barking loudly and outputting all kinds of daddy vibes at the slightest flaw. Even when his wife proposes divorce and he wants to get her back, his words are still full of daddy vibes.

It was so satisfying to see Zuo Xiaoqing fight him back with a calm face.

Tian Yu really nailed this role. He told lies to his wife and was exposed on the spot, with his eyes still dripping as he thought about his lines.

This is called thousands of people and thousands of faces.

Third, Sun Hao

How arrogant Tian Yu is, how humble Sun Hao is.

Faced with a wife who is troubled by hormones and has no trouble finding faults, his character Jia Haowen is always careful and says he is sorry to his wife all the time.

It made me, the audience, want to say to him: Picking up a cup of wine in the morning and evening, a lonely person after the storm, Hao, if this doesn't work, let's get divorced.

In addition to several brothers-in-law, there is also an old actor whose performance is also very eye-catching.

Du Yuan.He was smiling from beginning to end, and with a few glances and a few lines of dialogue, the father's heartache, worry and consideration for his daughter and son-in-law were all brought to life.

The series has just begun, and the actors are so in tune with what they say, and they can make you believe that this story really exists. This is a feast of acting skills.4: Break the game

In the past few years, domestic urban dramas have buried a big pit, and many dramas have stepped on it. One is - suspension -, and the other is bloody.

It seems that a domestic urban drama, especially a family life drama, without a wicked mistress or a scumbag who wants his wife to die, is no longer suitable for the current audience's taste in dramas.

This film - the timing is just right - did not go in this direction. Instead, it worked in two directions, which effectively solved the problem of suspended dog blood in domestic urban dramas.

The first aspect is the sense of life.

As an urban life therapy drama, "The Time Is Just Right" is based on the reality of life.

The joys and sorrows of Xu Meng'an, Li Lin, and Chen Wanzhen are not made up by the screenwriter, but can be seen in life.

Whether it is a mid-life workplace crisis or a mid-life marital crisis; whether it is women’s fertility anxiety or children’s education issues, they are all problems that everyone will face.

A big problem with domestic urban life dramas in recent years is that they are constantly explosive, but life dramas have no life and are all designs.

The sense of life in this drama is very realistic, and the biggest difficulty is always money.

This is life.

On the other hand, this time - the timing is just right - I have caught up with the earth and taken root in the soil of reality.

Several women in their 40s have all experienced severe beatings from society, marriage and family, and faced the dangers of the human heart and faced choices.

As for the male protagonist, it is easy to sympathize with the social beast. Although Li Lin was laid off in middle age, the anxiety and helplessness in the workplace regardless of age.

Li Lin is just a middle-aged man, so there is nothing wrong with him, but in the real workplace, being over 40 is a mistake.

When people reach middle age, their appearance changes, career breaks, financial costs and even psychological pressure surge. How can we accept ourselves calmly, reconcile with ourselves, and calmly deal with the growth of age and the passage of time?This is the greatest meaning of the story.

《The time is just right》One characteristic is that the actors are really close to their faces. The feeling of middle age cannot be faked. You must have experience in life and emotions before you can act it out.

Today, when urban dramas like to tailor conflicting plots based on hot topics, the conflict of "The Time Is Just Right" also seems very clear.

Whether it is middle-aged unemployment, workplace crisis, or emotional troubles, the turning point of the plot is not forced to show blood, it is all the things that happen in life, and it also uses fireworks and light joy to heal, so the audience will not feel that“Annoying”, it’s easier to put it in.

So I am very happy to see such a realistic urban drama in the summer.

Maybe cool stories in fantasy costume worlds or female revenge legends can build a utopia that allows us to escape reality, but domestic dramas always need realistic themes that can record the state of contemporary people.

When we look back many years later, our collective memory of the TV series should not only contain fantasy, but also the ups and downs of life.

There is never a perfect time. We try to live the ups and downs of life just right.

This drama captures this meaning, and the audience will be willing to devote their time to watch the story.
