With the arrival of the 21st century, the urban female group image TV series has become a new trend in contemporary film and TV series. Take Nothing but Thirty as an example, this kind of film and television reflects the important position of feminism in the current society. Through the portrayal of different types of Gu Jia, Wang Manni and other characters, the series has a real and vivid portrayal of the contemporary female group. This thesis combines feminist theory with the construction of female image, explores how Gu Jia, Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin and other characters get out of the group image syndrome of women, and carry out self-transformation and self-construction in self-consciousness, thus revealing the deep mechanism of contemporary female image shaping and construction.
