The reality drama "Breakout" officially ended on the evening of the 15th, and this drama adapted from Zhou Meisen's novel of the same name,"People's Property" finally ushered in a big ending where justice overwhelmed evil. With the joint efforts of labor model Cheng Duanyang, Jingzhou Zhongfu Qi Ben'an, the local media "Jingzhou Times" and the investigation and police, the huge corruption case of Zhongfu Group was finally revealed.
As a realistic drama focusing on corruption cases in large state-owned enterprises, the theme reflected in "Breakout" makes it naturally watchable. The opening of the play is indeed not eye-catching, it does not continue its previous work "In the Name of the People" to solve the case in a way, but from the encounter of Qi Ben'an, the "airborne soldier" of the Zhongfu Group, to carry out a series of personnel relations. At the same time, the drama is interspersed with multiple plots such as newspaper reporter Qin Xiaochong's release from prison to wash away grievances, angel company debt collection Rongcheng Steel, etc., until the shantytown collapse case in Jingzhou Zhongfu officially accelerates the advancement of the corporate corruption case in the play.
Many viewers began to enter the drama from the seventh and eighth episodes, and gradually "entered the pit". The theme of state-owned enterprise reform is rare in domestic TV dramas, and the relatively long introduction method may not be conducive to the show winning the opening ratings, but the overly cumbersome personnel relations also need to be popularized in an approachable way. This may be the well-intentionedness of "Breakout", but it also explains the reason why the drama is getting better and better in the middle and late stages. When the settings of Qi Ben'an, Lin Manjiang, Shi Hongxing, Niu Junjie, Pi Dan and other characters are compacted, and there is no longer too much difficulty in understanding the plot unfolding around the internal intrigues of the enterprise.
The structural design of "Breakout" with multiple lines of narrative going hand in hand is also naturally related to the theme of this play. Because of the particularity of the company's own history, the management structure of Zhongfu Group is very different from that of ordinary companies, and relevant violation cases can also be handled by the group first, and the local discipline inspection committee where Jingzhou is located may be helpless. This particular corporate system, mixed with the various local forces in Gyeongju, not only reflects the complexity of local corruption, but also directly demonstrates the great harm that such unregulated power can bring.
Like In the Name of the People, Breakout's all-star model brings natural attention to the show. Jin Dong, Yan Ni, Huang Zhizhong and others have almost all played an accurate performance above the standard, and middle-aged actors such as Geng Le, Wang Jingchun, Period, Xi Meijuan, Ding Yongdai, Qin Yan, Hao Ping, and Han Tongsheng are collective acting online. In addition to the exaggeration of the young actors on the individual story lines, the performance of the entire play at the performance level is remarkable, and even the history of the revolutionaries of the Zhongfu Group shown by Wang Yang, Liu Tianzuo and others in the middle of the historical plot review also lights up the final theme of the play.
In the last paragraph of the play, there is a large amount of content interspersed with the revolutionary story of the founders of Zhongfu Group, whose "original intention" is intertextual with the various problems that have arisen in the current group, and thus points out the special significance of state-owned enterprises. The reason why state-owned enterprises are different from ordinary private enterprises is that because of their social responsibility and historical role, it is determined that their corruption is not an individual problem of ordinary private enterprises, but a major issue related to the management of state-owned assets and economic security. The story of zhongfu group ultimately leads to such a theme, and the core of the expression of "Breakout" is also reflected. From this point of view, "Breakout" has fulfilled the expectations of the creators for this theme, and has also reached the social connotation and value leadership that an excellent reality drama should have.
