Affected by Japan and South Korea, the youth idol play of our country is developed gradually in recent years. However, compared with Korean Cinderella story to the audience of our young women have a strong attraction, the play of imitation of our country seems always suffer the cold reception. Different anticipation to the two countries, has decided our country females are willing to take the Korea Cinderella story as one kind of daytime dreamland, but hope Chinese play takes on more realistic. "Male talented woman appearance" and "Struggle" as representative works, have greatly promoted the development of Chinese play, for they correctly understanding the contemporary Chinese women values and social reality, and take mainstream values and elite consciousness. The personages of Cinderella that these Chinese plays mould, though also keep the Cinderella's " image " in fairy tales, but substantive change has already taken place in spirit. From narrative structure to the theme, Chinese plays by setting the structure of anti-Cinderella, a wide range of image-building, close to the inner core of people in character shaping, transform Cinderella's production mechanism. Expression of double-voice discourse and male anxiety and the design of Prince Turns Into Frog, all are for the same theme. That is, Chinese strong women are different from the weak and helpless Cinderella in the fairy tale, under the market economy, they face more opportunities for development and survival challenges, choose to fight alongside with men rather than relying on waitting. This is a vivid portrayal of their spirit in the new period. It also tells us, Chinese play with education and guide function, only deepen ceaselessly study of contemporary women's values, rethink the distance among the ideal expression and realistic situation constantly, can it point out positive direction for the women who have identity confusion, wandering in the spiritual pursuit and substance addiction. Because today we live in a society that market economy has become mainstream, mass media is in a boom and consumerism has upsurged.
