"The Second Half of My Life" is adapted from Wang Meng's novel "Strange and Wonderful".
Compared with the original book, there are still quite a lot of changes.
Let's take Shen Zhuoran's son as an example, according to the description in the novel, Shen Zhuoran's son, that is, Shen Qing, has been living abroad and has never returned.
Why do you say this, in fact, this is because Lian Yilian made a particularly excessive request before marrying Shen Zhuoran, that is, Shen Zhuoran wanted to put the house and valuable jewelry in her name.
As for Shen Zhuoran's son who is far overseas, he must give up all inheritance rights.
Therefore, through this plot in the novel, we can easily come to the conclusion that compared with the original book, the drama version has some great changes to the character settings of this part of Shen Qing.
And the reason why there is such a change or change in the drama version is very simple, that is, to enhance the watchability of the plot.
You know,There are still too few film and television works with the remarriage process of the elderly as the main story content, and the wide audience is also unknown, so when the director was filming, he added the roles of Shen Qing and Liu Lina, a middle-aged couple.
In order to successfully please the effect of audiences of different ages.
Of course, since there is a middle-aged husband and wife partner, the drama of cheating must be indispensable, after all, when people reach middle age, there are old and young, life pressure and mental pressure are relatively large, and the contradictions deposited between husband and wife will also erupt during this time period.
And judging from Shen Qing's recent abnormal behavior of exercising and spraying perfume, Ace Li has already won Shen Qing, and Shen Qing is only one step away from real derailment.
At this point, I have to sigh that the old Shen family's genes have a certain flowery attribute. Otherwise, how could Shen Zhuoran and Shen Qing be carved out of the same mold?
At the same time, it is precisely for this reason that I have to sigh how wise Nie Juanjuan's choice is.
The specific identity of Ace Lee is not clearly stated in the play, but various indications indicate that Ace Lee is most likely the personal secretary of Drug Research Commissioner Dr. Kim.
Because, whenever Shen Qing wants to discuss a certain matter with the doctor, he will give priority to docking with Ace Lee.
However, Ace Li does not have the arrogant and domineering feeling that Party A has always had, on the contrary, when working with Shen Qing, she always smiles like a flower, very gentle and kind.
Even, most of the time, she is very good at giving Shen Qing steps down and thinking about Shen Qing.
And Shen Qing, who has long been tired of seeing his wife Liu Lina, how can he resist the continuous gentle country-like temptation of Ace Li.
So soon, Shen Qing had a different kind of thought.
Of course, Shen Qing wanted to resist, but his wife Liu Lina had disappointed him recently.
First of all, Liu Lina would always recruit her warm-hearted mother Baoqin to her home, which made Shen Qing very uncomfortable; Secondly, Liu Lina looks like she is without makeup all day long, and she often posts some earthy love words in the circle of friends, which makes him lose face in front of his colleagues and subordinates;
In the end, Liu Lina's mother and daughter openly disobeyed Shen Qing's father, Shen Zhuoran, and wanted to take Nie Juanjuan to his home, which made Shen Zhuoran almost angry, which caused Shen Qing's further dissatisfaction with Liu Lina.
Therefore, Shen Qing didn't do anything, and completely fell to Ace Li, who was empathetic and a bird.
The Shen family made a fuss because of Nie Juanjuan's illness and hospitalization, and Nie Juanjuan was naturally able to predict it. After all, Nie Juanjuan's disease was caused by breast cancer metastasizing to the brain, which is a serious disease.
And at her age, the risk of surgery is relatively large, and she needs to be taken care of 24 hours a day after surgery, so she is very sure that she must be very unpopular with the Shen family now.
As for Shen Zhuoran, Nie Juanjuan also knew very well that he was not a person worthy of trust.
On the one hand, when she told Shen Zhuoran that she had breast cancer surgery more than ten years ago, she was putting Shen Zhuoran to the final test, but unfortunately, Shen Zhuoran was scared stupid on the spot, and he hesitated for a long time before saying that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Nie Juanjuan.
Obviously, Shen Zhuoran was weighing the pros and cons, and the final promise to Nie Juanjuan was just a last resort for fear of being accused of abandoning the chaos.
On the other hand, Shen Zhuoran fell in love with another person too easily.
Do you still remember how long it took Shen Zhuoran to get out of the shadow of his wife's death, yes, it only took a year, as for the time interval between his breakup with Lian Yilian and his affection for Nie Juanjuan, it was even shorter, maybe a few months at most.
That is to say,Shen Zhuoran is not affectionate enough, and he doesn't have much loyalty to a love.
If Nie Juanjuan is really with him, even if Nie Juanjuan does not have a recurrence of cancer, I am afraid that she will not be able to stay with Shen Zhuoran for a long time.
After all, from Shen Zhuoran to Shen Qing,他们都是这样一个很难对婚姻百分百忠诚的人，甚至说这是刻进了他们老沈家骨子里的特点。
So it can be seen that Nie Juanjuan's choice is too wise.
