"Gao Qiang from the world of "Struggle" hopes to prove himself."
More than half a month has passed since the last task was completed. On this day, Li Jie was revising a script in his study.
As a result, the system beep sounded suddenly.
Li Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "struggle".
The drama "Struggle" tells the story of the struggle of six people born in the 1980s in Yanjing. In short, it is the story of six college graduates entering society.
Li Jie is extremely familiar with this drama.
Back then, when he first entered the industry, it happened to be the time when struggle was the most popular, and this drama also created a new theme.
Urban youth drama!
After "Struggle" became popular, a large number of scripts of the same type appeared on the market, some of which focused on love and some on career.
For example, later "Yenjing Youth", "Yenjing Love Story" and so on.
At that time, Li Jie was still a little-known screenwriter. In order to support himself, he even worked as a ghostwriter for others.
Several of the ghostwritten scripts are similar.
One of the scripts was the most outrageous. It simply copied the outline of "Struggle" and put old wine in a new bottle.
In the end, not surprisingly, the show was a flop. It didn't even get a star. It only aired for one round on a local channel before being completely shelved.
That drama was also Li Jie's first TV drama, although it was written by someone else, and the outline was also provided by someone else.
But there are so many "references" that Li Jie still feels ashamed even after all these years.
However, making money is not shabby.
At that time, without that script, he wouldn't even be able to pay the rent.
It is precisely because of this that he was deeply impressed by the drama "Struggle". After watching a drama more than ten times, how can he not be deeply impressed?
Even after many years, Li Jie still remembers the story of struggle.
If you look at it from the current perspective, the three views of this drama are extremely unfair.
The euphemistic name is struggle, but how can the male protagonist ‘Lu Tao’ in the story have any struggle?
His success depends on his rich biological father, his powerful adoptive father, and his wealthy daughter who loves him so much that she can't help herself.
It's either connections or money.
Without the efforts of these people, Lu Tao would have been a decadent young man with a heart as high as the sky and a destiny as thin as paper.
While enjoying the big Haworth provided by his biological father and driving an Audi, he shouted in an extremely hypocritical manner, "This is not the life I want."
In addition, Lu Tao is still a veritable ‘scumbag’.
He followed his girlfriend in the front and made love to her, and immediately had sex with his girlfriend's best friend in the back.
In the name of 'love at first sight', cheating is actually done.
The person he cheated on was his girlfriend's best friend, the lead female character of the show, Charlene, a very hypocritical woman.
He clearly stole his best friend's boyfriend, he clearly knew it was wrong, he clearly wanted to stay away, but he still had no connection with Lu Tao and it was unclear.
When Lu Tao had no money, she fell in love with him, but now that he has money, he stayed away, and later came back.
Repeatedly like this, it can be said to be hypocritical to the extreme.
Or another word to describe it is also very suitable - making.
In addition, the other protagonists of this drama are also very funny.
The second male lead and the third male lead are Hua Zi and Xiang Nan. They are college classmates and close buddies with Lu Tao. Their family background is not as good as that of Lu Tao.
Both of them are ordinary natives of Yanjing, neither particularly rich nor particularly poor.
Compared with Lu Tao, who started as a project director, the two of them are more in line with the theme of "struggle". Xiangnan started as a white-collar worker, while Huazi started to make a fortune by reselling second-hand cars.
The other two heroines in the play are Milai and Yang Xiaoyun.
Mi Lai and Xia Lin are best friends, and Yang Xiaoyun and Xia Lin are also best friends. The three of them became a thread.
Later, Mi Lai and Xia Lin fell in love with the same person. They fought for each other, advanced and retreated. Xia Lin first went to bed with Lu Tao behind her best friend's back.
After she left the country feeling guilty, Mi Lai took advantage of Charlene's absence to pursue Lu Tao crazily.
The relationship between these three people is simply a mess.
The relationship between Xiang Nan, Yang Xiaoyun, and Hua Zi was not too give-and-take. Xiang Nan and Hua Zi fell in love with Yang Xiaoyun at the same time.
Xiang Nan just took the first step to pursue success and directly got married to Yang Xiaoyun.
After their marriage, although there were occasional ambiguous moments between Yang Xiaoyun and Hua Zi, they still had a bottom line and did not get together regardless of anything like Lu Tao and Xia Lin.
The marriage between Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun was not smooth either. They got married and divorced, and then wanted to get back together again. After going around in circles, the two finally got remarried.
Finally, there is the ‘Gao Qiang’ mentioned in the mission. He, Lu Tao, Xiang Nan, and Huazi were close friends in college.
Unfortunately, Gao Qiang was caught cheating on an exam and failed to get his diploma.
My graduation certificate is gone, and my job at the public institution that I had previously contacted with my family is gone.
In the end, because of the quarrel with his family, Gao Qiang couldn't bear the pressure and jumped to his death at the beginning of the first episode.
If Gao Qiang had not died, given his relationship with the protagonist group, he would have to be the fourth male lead.
However, death is like a light going out, and Gao Qiang suddenly changed from the fourth male lead to a walk-on.
At the same time, Gao Qiang is also the one with the worst financial conditions among the best friends in college.
Looking at Xiang Nan's family background, it seems that he is not in a good situation, but his father is also a public official after all, and he usually wears clothes from brands such as Adidas and Nike.
At the beginning of the century, the price of Adidas Nike was not cheap. A pair of shoes often cost hundreds of dollars. It was okay for ordinary families to buy a pair occasionally, but it would definitely be unaffordable to buy them all the time.
As for Hua Zi, although his family background is not as good as that of Lu Tao and Xiang Nan, it is still much better than Gao Qiang.
In fact, if you really want to count, Gao Qiang's family background is not too bad.
Being born in Yanjing can be said to have defeated 90% of his peers.
Yanjing household registration also has another name - Tianlong people.
The community where Gao Qiang's family lives in the play is considered one of the older communities. Although it only appears briefly, with the popularity of the real estate market in the future, that area will probably be demolished.
The large-scale demolition at the beginning of the century, especially in big cities, is definitely a blessing story. The fate of countless families has been changed because of the demolition.
From an ordinary common man, he became a renter with multiple properties.
Of course, the year when Endeavor was released was 2007, and the real estate market at that time was not as hot as it would be in later generations.
No one knew that the real estate industry would become the absolute protagonist in the myth of wealth creation.
Therefore, apart from the male lead Lu Tao, this drama can barely live up to its title of "Struggle".
After all, the second male lead Huazi and the third male lead Xiang Nan do need to struggle to change their living conditions.
