Is there a prototype for the TV series Sesame Hutong?

The popular TV series "Sesame Alley" did not have a prototype, and the male protagonist Yan Zhensheng (played by He Bing) did not have a prototype to be found. The only "Qinfangju" worthy of consideration will make People think of the unique pickle gardens of old Beijing. When talking about the pickle gardens of old Beijing, we have to mention the three major pickle gardens of "Liubiju", "Tianyuan Sauce Garden" and "Guixinzhai".

In fact, the "Qinfangju" in the play draws heavily on the characteristics of "Liu Biju". For example, "Qinfangju" is Yan Zhensheng's ancestral craft and has a history of hundreds of years. The timeline of the play is 1947, and "Liubiju" has a long history. It was founded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty (1530 AD) and has a history of 500 years.

Also during the "Cultural Revolution", the signboard of "Qinfangju" was regarded as the "Four Olds" and was to be destroyed. In order to save this golden signboard, Yan Zhensheng claimed that he would chop it down and set it on fire. In fact, he did He took out the bed board at home, which shows that this sign is very important to him.

And "Liu Biju" also had such an experience during that period. At that time, the signboard before the public-private partnership needed to be destroyed, and the original "Liu Biju" was changed to "Hongqi Pickle Factory". In the play "Qinfangju" also changed its name to "Red Star Pickles Factory" due to the public-private partnership. Judging from various settings, the journey of "Qinfangju" has also greatly borrowed from "Liubiju".

As for the character setting and plot direction, they should be fictionalized by the screenwriter. The whole drama revolves around the love between the children of the "Yan family". There was some discussion in the early stage, but it became more and more bloody as it went on. , some of the characters in the play cannot stand up to speculation. Take the male protagonist Yan Zhensheng in the play. The original intention of the screenwriter is to portray him as a capable, responsible, and willing to endure hardship. However, things often backfire. , Yan Zhensheng’s character design is indeed not very good.

Yan Zhensheng, the "owner" of a pickle factory, had to shoulder the "mission" of passing on the family lineage to the "Yu family" because of the tragic death of his brother. Because there were some bumps in the road to find a wife for the "Yu family", he encountered There are all kinds of "bloody" plots, such as: why the original wife Lin Cuiqing (played by Liu Bei) can't give birth to a child named Yu, why Mu Chunhua (played by Wang Ou) captured Yan Zhensheng's heart as soon as they met, and why Yan Zhensheng married Mu Chunhua After Spring Blossoms, why do I become more and more unfamiliar with my first wife Lin Cuiqing?

As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts for a hundred days. Yan Zhensheng and his first wife Lin Cuiqing have gone through ups and downs for more than ten years. When Lin Cuiqing was a teenager, she married Yan Zhensheng, who was younger than her. Along the way, Lin Cuiqing gave birth to children and took care of the household for the Yan family, revealing a hint of affection amidst her strength. Until the young and beautiful Mu Chunhua appeared, everything seemed to have changed. Yan Zhensheng was willing to risk everything for her, and the relationship he had spent for more than ten years was only Can be used to remember.

Because there is no distinction between high and low, Lin Cuiqing and Mu Chunhua, as Yan Zhensheng’s wives, have lived together for many years. From the beginning of monogamy, Yan Zhensheng had to make a choice between the two. After deliberation in her mind for a long time, she chose to divorce Lin Cuiqing, and did such a "heartbreaking" thing without her being present. From this, Lin Cuiqing had a revengeful heart and became a "couple" with her cook, who she thought was a man. An unmarried girl has a good marriage, but Yan Zhensheng has no choice but to remarry Lin Cuiqing. This divorce and remarriage is too childish. Can you respect the opinions of the parties involved?

According to the plot, Lin Cuiqing and the cook Baoxiang had a child. They were supposed to go away to a foreign country and become a couple halfway through. But who knew that Lin Cuiqing’s heart had never left Yan Zhensheng, and she never planned to marry Baoxiang. Xiang's marriage, this "playing with" people's feelings made Baoxiang furious, and finally left the Yan family with their children, and finally entrusted Cuicui to Lin Cuiqing before she died. In fact, I have always felt that Lin Cuiqing was in this regard The work was very poor. In that relatively "feudal" era, Lin Cuiqing, a lady of a wealthy family, could actually do such a thing. I think the screenwriter's brain was really flawed.

At the end of the plot, this drama has lost the courage to continue, especially when the next generation of children grow up, their stubborn characters and destructive views are really It makes people angry, but the common problem of domestic TV dramas is that they have a good ending. Under the guidance of the older generation, the younger generation has better thinking and ideas.

If Yan Zhen really has a prototype to be found, then how "bloody" would his life be? But the screenwriter's imagination goes beyond that. Only you can't imagine it, and no screenwriter can't imagine it.
