Big Brother

At a time when "big pigtails" are everywhere on the screen, and urban handsome men and beautiful women can't get enough of them, "Big Brother", a 20-episode TV series that reflects the lives of ordinary people, quietly appeared on CCTV on May 29, 2002, adding an "alternative" color to the screen. The father and young son at home need to be taken care of, the wife is laid off, and the four younger brothers and sisters each have their own troubles, so "brother" Wen Hai becomes the well-deserved pillar of the Chen family... This new work, which claims to have "the shadow of Zhang Damin and the image of Liu Huifang", creates an image of an upright, generous, responsible and sacrificed elder brother through the life process and emotional entanglements of an ordinary family living in a "village in the city" - a courtyard. It is understood that during the review process of "Big Brother" by CCTV, several censors who watch more than 50 TV series every week and more than 3,000 episodes of TV series every year burst into tears. According to industry insiders, middle-aged laid-off, business failure, marital discord, birth, old age, illness and death... these words that appear very frequently in the lives of ordinary people constitute the life tone of the "Big Brother" family. Works that pay such in-depth and subtle attention to the joys and sorrows of urban disadvantaged people's lives are rare on the screen in recent years.
