On January 12, “Love Apartment 5” was officially launched on iQiyi. The play is directed by Wei Zheng, starring Lou Yixiao, Li Jiahang, Sun Yizhou, Li Jinming, Zhang Yiduo, Achievements, Wan Zilin, and Chen He.

Unconsciously, the “Love Apartment” series, which has accompanied a generation of youth, has been 10 years since its first broadcast in 2009, and “Love Apartment 5” will also be the final season of the series.

Under the influence of youthful feelings, after joining the iQiyi “Hot 9000 Club” 16 hours after the start of the play, it became the iQiyi closed the front desk and implemented the content heat value. “After” It’s All Good “, the fourth episode with over 9,000 hits is also the one with the fastest rising hits.

In addition, topics such as # 爱 公寓 5 #, # 子 乔美嘉 领 证 #, # 胡 一 菲 曾 小 贤 领 证 # and other topics also followed the episode’s airing, and one after another on the Weibo real-time search list that night.

Behind the enthusiasm, the audience ’s evaluation of the episode is mixed.

In fact, this was expected. At the beginning of the episode, there was another wave of official self-defeating with the previous trailer: “Last time there were many movie slots and Douban was just over two points. This season, the starring actors are not all together. How can this story go on?”

After finishing eight episodes in one breath, I summarized the author’s feelings in one sentence, and it changed.

The next level of life, A sequel or a new beginning?

From the beginning of the film, Love Apartment 5 wanted to give fans a complete explanation.

Guan Gu and Yoyo moved to Japan to live. Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei got their marriage three months ago. Zeng Xiaoxian will fly to Alashan to support the border area in the afternoon. Zhang Wei ’s law firm will also open on the same day. Lu Ziqiao is about to be a father, and the circle of friends shows that Zhan Bo and Wan Yu are suspected to have met in Milan.

The first two episodes are very informative.It looks like fans are looking forward to the finale for 10 years.

Then the question is coming, what will you say after the great consummation?

The answer is already buried in the title of the first episode, “The Next Stage of Life”.

The beginning and the end are more like a farewell to the past episodes. After the first episode, we see more like a fan drama with the same personality and a new story, rather than a sequel.

In terms of story content, this season basically uses all the original plots. This has changed the overall style of the episode. It was difficult to imagine that it would appear in love apartments. Keywords such as marriage, career, family, etc. began to become The main line of the plot.

In this regard, the intuitive feeling of fans is that the love apartment has changed.

“Zeng Xiaoxian, who was once cheap, was no longer cheap, Hu Yifei, who was domineering, Lu Ziqiao married, wasteful Zhang Wei ’s love career was harvested, and Yoyo and Guan Gu were gone.” A fan told Net Entertainment to observe: , Love Apartment 5 has changed everything. “

In addition, as new roles to replace the absent permanent resident characters such as Guan Gu Magic, Tang Youyou, Zhanbo, Curry Paste (Wan Zilin), Zhuge Dali (Achievements), and Zhao Haitang (Zhang Yiduo) In the play, the post-00 generation was adopted, so the generation gap stalk has also become a resident joke in the play.

In addition to the style of opera and drama inherited from the trailer, “Love Apartment 5” can basically be regarded as a new story of sailing.

The song and dance drama in the play is actually pretty good, but this style seems to be generally accepted in China. People who like it say that the song and dance drama in “Love Apartment 5” has a taste of Disney, and those who don’t like it feel like a domestic Indian. Dramatic.

Interestingly, in the current evaluation of “Love Apartment 5”, various “tastes” are tags that everyone uses.

Among the many slots, “no taste” is also the biggest dissatisfaction with “Love Apartment 5” by most fans on social media.

But what exactly is the “Love Apartment Inside Taste” seems to have been unclear so far, and is the “Change Taste” of “Love Apartment 5” definitely not fragrant?

The smell of Love Apartment has changed? No, it ’s youth that grows up

There has been an in-depth analysis of the “Love Apartment” series, which believes that it shapes a Chinese life that does not exist in China. Although Love Apartment has accompanied the youth of a generation, the story it tells has nothing to do with this generation.

Looking at the source of the various types of stalks in the previous seasons of “Love Apartment”, “Friends” talks about the lives of young people in Manhattan in the 1990s at the age of 25-35, and “Romantic History of Mom and Dad” It is the emotional life of young people in New York in the 21st century. “Modern Family” talks about the life of middle-class families in the United States, which are out of touch with the lives of modern Chinese young people.

On this basis, a group of tenants with American humor and their bar party culture in Love Apartment is more like a utopian imagination of people’s future life in middle school.

Especially for the two generations of only children born in the 1980s and 1990s, whether they are longing for group life or yearning for love, they can find their home in this utopian. After all, “the best friends are around Love is opposite. ”

In short, the past “love apartment taste” has always been suspended.

When the fifth season begins to fall from the suspended world into real life, the once fast-paced American humor and suspended people set in the play.Withdrawing from the game, fans who are accustomed to intensive laughs, start to talk about procrastination; fans who are accustomed to the chic life of the characters in the show, start to talk about the collapse of the people, Zeng Xiaoxian is no longer cheap, and Lu Ziqiao is no longer lingering. The so-called taint comes from this.

After all, it ’s just that Utopia collapsed and crashed into reality.

The character in the play is an individual to middle-aged. In the past, the bar that appeared as the main scene can hardly be found in the fifth season. Instead, everyone’s office and work scenes began to appear frequently. Hu Yifei’s classroom, Zhang Wei’s office in the apartment, Lu Ziqiao’s booth selling cosmetics, etc., are all extremely rare scenes in the love apartment before.

If you look closely, although the character and emotional expression are still exaggerated, the word “life” is already written in the play.

The protagonists of the post-80s generation have officially entered the “next stage” after being troubled by youth and love. A series of problems such as getting a license to get married, decorating a house, interviewing for a job, and prenatal anxiety followed, which have become one theme after another in the play.

Among them, the role of Lu Ziqiao is the most obvious.

In the past, Lu Ziqiao, who was established by the PUA, brought much joy to everyone from the bar, the girl, and his open and chaotic private life. Now, where is he who has worked hard to support his family and take responsibility? It lies in a 24-hour sleepless video interview. It is to do a hard stop with a cargo anchor. It is to go out at night to make small advertising endorsements and play the role of a drunk driver in a car accident.

Of course, it’s not just Ziqiao who grows up.

In the first episode, there was a scene where the two of them sent a circle of friends after receiving their certificates. Mika comforted the anxious Zi Qiao. Many people in this scene said “Mega has grown up.”

Yes, in fact, the love apartment is not a taste change, but the characters in the play have grown up. Many people also fallBecause of this, after opening “Love Apartment 5”, you thought you would see a utopian comedy again. I didn’t expect that opening is a life that is implicitly suppressed and grows up.

Interestingly, the new post-00 characters are very similar to them when they were young. The curry sauce is like the more confused Chen Meijia, Zhuge Dali is like the enhanced version of Xue Yi Hu Yifei, Zhao Haitang is like the young and much gold version of the bitch Zeng Xiaoxian, maybe these old faces in the show look at these new people, as we see Over the past few seasons, they have witnessed their youth, accompanied our youth, and ushered in growth together.

As I wrote in the previous review about Love Apartment.

The original protagonists in “Love Apartment” are all post-80s. The new protagonists are all set to 00.

11 years have passed, and the 80s who used to be able to make trouble can get married. Even Lu Ziqiao has changed his mind.

After 00, the excellent and dazzling menacing came, killing the audience.

After 90, sitting in front of the screen, I found that Love Apartment 5 is not a comedy at all, but a reality that urges us to grow up.
