At noon, Qianmen subway station.

Zhang Baiyang rode his bicycle to the exit of the subway station, opened the large cardboard box tied to the back seat, and the inside was neatly filled with tapes.

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

It wasn't until the decline of the tape recorder and the popularity of MP3 that the sale of cassette tapes slowly disappeared.

The front door is a big station, and the flow of people is extremely dense, and there are several other than him. However, Zhang Baiyang took a look, there is one person who did not come today, it is good not to come, so he should not grab business.

He set up his stall and soon ushered in 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 loess high slope?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Baiyang was stunned, "Is it a new song?"

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

"No, I don't even know the name. ”

A few people left disappointed.

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

"No, no. ”

"No, look elsewhere. ”

The girl is gone.

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

“......”

Zhang Baiyang was directly shut up, "Can you tell me what song this is? ”

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

A young man clicked his voice and sang: "My family lives in the Loess High Slope ......"

Tut!

Zhang Baiyang is strange, where did a song come out, why do you have to buy it?

Looking at other peers, they are also very depressed, I haven't heard of it!

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, people kept asking about Loess Gaopo, saying that it was a TV series "Hutong People". A few people are terrible, damn it, you must see what it is at night.

"Yo, why are you here?"

"Hehe, you're ill-informed, aren't you?"

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

Airplanes!

A crowd of people all squeezed through.

......

"Pop music has grown rapidly in the last two years, and most people have embraced and liked this genre. In particular, the popularity of TV dramas and the huge influence of the Spring Festival Gala have made a considerable number of teenagers addicted to Hong Kong and Taiwan music.

But while we accept foreign things, we should not ignore one problem: we are now desperately 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 own classic sounds, and compared to our ever-increasing living conditions, original music has never been taken seriously.

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

Recently, there is a new work "Loess High Slope", which is very worthy of discussion and appreciation, but the way it appeared was a little unexpected - in a TV series. ”

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

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

In reality, Zhang Jinglin sang for the first time at a party, because the media was backward, there was no follow-up, and there was no popularity, which made Fan Linlin sing hot.

Now Jingtai must be making a lot of money, Zhang Jinglin's version of "Loess High Slope" is popular, but unfortunately she also went abroad.

"Hutong People" will broadcast two episodes at 8 o'clock in the evening, and replay yesterday's after the broadcast.

Two days after the broadcast, there was no reaction in the society, and the leaders of the station were all smoking. Li Mu kept comforting, waiting, waiting.

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

First of all, the newspapers:

"It is both marketable and connotative, both popular and profound, and has a unique sense of humor. ”

"Hutong People" not only presents our real life situation in detail, but also always carries a sense of tolerance and care.

Each story echoes the times, such as fashion models, summer night blackouts, pop songs, etc., all of which can be reminiscent of social reality and themselves. ”

"Hutong People" can be called the biggest surprise of this year, the ridicule, humor, irony, and banter in the play are the first TV series, and its appearance has expanded the aesthetic character of my country's TV dramas. ”

Yu Jiajia's article is the most representative, she abandons the position of a media person and is completely subjective:

"The sitcom is actually a self-translation by the creator of "Hutong People". The English word is Situation Comedy, which is widely spread in the West. There is a fixed starring lineup, the scenes are simple, mainly lines, and a single-episode story.

Let's start with the scene and character settings.

It is undoubtedly clever to place the scene in the courtyard of the courtyard, which itself is full of strong market atmosphere. The characters are also very rich, including four generations of old, middle-aged and young people, including retired state-owned employees, literary and artistic cadres who have served in the military, intellectuals, ordinary workers, unemployed, students, and outsiders.

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

It's natural and fun for such a group of people to get together.

In recent years, a number of excellent comedy movies have emerged in China, but TV series have always been blank, but fortunately, they have now made up for this shortcoming.

Comedy wants to be popular, too elegant to be called lonely and self-appreciative, too vulgar to be on the stage. "Hutong People" is a TV series with a threshold for viewing, but the screenwriter cleverly includes two types of groups.

One is cultural groups, such as the first episode of Bai Struggle to sell books, zucchini said about the international situation, intellectuals will like it very much.

One is the popular group, the most typical is to wear safflower. She is like a regulator in the courtyard, she doesn't like to read books and newspapers, and even audiences with a low level of education can follow along.

People who think a little more see the sarcasm and think about it. People who think less laugh and laugh after dinner.

It's comedy.

But the biggest surprise was the performance.

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

As soon as I closed my eyes, Bai Zhan, zucchini, and Dai Honghua came alive in my mind. Each character can find a type of person in reality and thus become real and clear.

Sitcoms, or genre TV series, started with "Hutong People".

It stands here like a benchmark, the first part, and it may also be the pinnacle. ”

......

As soon as the media follows up, the more people follow.

The audience of this year loves to watch in-depth literary and artistic works. Because of the openness of society and the conservatism of society, the two extremes appeared at the same time, which is very rare in Chinese history.

Therefore, paying attention to opinions, being able to communicate with opinions, being able to think, and being able to judge, this is the fun of people today.

"Teacher Xu is early!"

"Teacher Xu is early!"

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

The title of Teacher Xu is called a little ridicule in the first year, more sincerity in the second year, and a bit of sycophant in the third year.

The popularity of "Hutong People" is beyond people's imagination, and it is far from the peak, which is only a quarter of the broadcast!

The meeting is not a big deal, follow up on the progress of each episode. Zhao Baogang already regretted it a little, he knew that he would join the group and shoot a single drama of Raushzi!

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

After the meeting, everyone was chatting together, Feng pants came in with a sack, and poked, "Good guy, it's all the accumulated people's voices, the ocean!"

"Why do you still write letters locally, you can't just call, I'll get a steel hammer. ”

"Writing letters is more emotional, the mailbox is far away, the duty room is close, and the doorman has been feeling a thief recently. ”

"Come on, take a look!"

Everyone began to open the letter in a hurry.

"Thank you for making a real comedy. ”

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

"Tao Bei Thief !!"

"Hey, listen to ......"

Xu Fei pinched one and waved his hand: "There is a negative opinion." A retired employee said that the play is vulgar, boring, and unpopular, satirizing old cadres, and he has to apologize to the people.

What kind of apology do you have to satirize the veteran cadres and apologize to the masses? This is a traitor who has penetrated into the ranks of the workers. ”

"I have ...... here, too"

Feng pants held a letter and said: "The language is exaggerated, the performance is absurd, the whole is inexplicable, where is there a work of art?"

"I have it too, hey, and say we're the worst TV series of the year!"

"I have that too. ”

"Hey, that's a lot. ”

Everyone counted, hundreds of letters, and a third of them were critical. The harsh rhetoric even asks the TV station to stop broadcasting, which will poison the next generation of flowers.

Several people are unhappy, and the problem can be big or small, and it has to be taken seriously.

"Shall we respond?" said Feng Pants.

"It's not good to respond, we are the creators, and we can't stand up by ourselves. Zheng Xiaolong shook his head.

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

Xu Fei thought for a while and said, "Then find a third-party media, open a post, ahhh, open an audience interactive column, and let them argue on their own." ”

"That's okay, you can contact us right away!"

......

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

So on the second day, "Beijing Metropolis Daily" opened an audience interactive column, dedicated to discussing "Hutong People".

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

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

The former can't accept this style of language, and then the ideological value of the play, as well as the way of expression. And these people are scolding while watching, and they don't fall for an episode.

One of the ideas is supported by many people:

Throughout the first few episodes, although there are some real themes, such as pop songs, power outages, petty theft, and divorce, these are superficial and powerless.

Neither evocative nor moving, completely empty words. ”

Blind a few pushes!

Even though Yu Jiajia has watched it many times, she is still very angry, the brain circuits seem to be different, and young people understand it, but these old people just want to be a bar.

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

"Alright, here we go!"

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

Episode 13: "The Little Nanny".

Screenwriter of this episode: Xu Fei.
