The 45-episode TV series "Breakout" was recently broadcast. This hard-themed TV series about the anti-corruption of state-owned enterprises has successfully shaped the image of Qi Ben'an, Lin Manjiang and Shi Hongxing, three executives of state-owned enterprises, which is rare in the current film and television dramas that reflect real life. Two of the scenes are extremely impressive.
The first session is the 33rd episode, Lin Manjiang as the chairman of the group to Jingzhou Zhongfu announced the new chairman and party secretary, after the meeting, Lin Manjiang let the dismissed Qi Ben'an stay. In the face of the "game of thrones" master Lin Manjiang, how should Qi Ben'an, a victim, deal with it? Huang Zhizhong, who plays Lin Manjiang, and Jin Dong, who plays Qi Ben'an, have a wonderful opponent scene.
"Say, what else can you do?" Lin Manjiang asked. "I think I can be the chairman of zhongfu group." Qi Ben an answered. "You are more rampant, you are insensitive, stubborn to the end, do not know the height of the sky!" The two of them exchanged words and swords, you came and went, and the expression and tone gradually changed from sneering to full of gunpowder. Finally, the bookish Qi Ben'an also broke out: "Can you please stop one bite of an organization, one bite of a superior, I have goosebumps!" How did the party and the organization become synonymous with your Lin family shop? Qi Ben'an slapped the folder the table and raised his head to look at Lin Manjiang angrily. This was great as Lin Manjiang expected, and he was also angry enough to slap the table and jump up from the chair, but he still controlled himself and said, "We can't let you hinder the healthy and orderly development of Zhongfu Group." Finally, when Qi Ben'an put the materials of the small treasury in front of Lin Manjiang and sounded the explosion, Lin Manjiang finally completely lost control, and he called urgently to convene a meeting on party style and clean government, and angrily shouted at Qi Ben'an: "You are not qualified to participate in the meeting!" ”
For exactly 20 minutes, this opponent scene took place in the venue, limited to the narrow space under the podium, and the two body movements were limited to stepping off the stage, walking on the stage, sitting down, drinking tea, standing up, angrily scolding... However, the dramatic conflict is extremely full and explosive. The atmosphere is sometimes tense and sometimes relaxed - even spit stars spew out when nervous; when it is relaxed, smile and call the other party "comrade and brother"... This is a contest between the weak righteous and the powerful conspirators, the guardians of the "people's property" and the thieves, the contest between the sun and the haze. All of this is displayed in front of the camera in a meticulous way.
In this scene, many netizens angrily praised "the wonderful stroke of the whole TV series". "Feitian, Magnolia Best Actor" Huang Zhizhong's aura is needless to say, and Jin Dong's acting skills are also impressive. Both of them are solid academics, performing personalities, performing tempers, performing a sense of humor, and performing spirits.
The scene where Shi Hongxing (Yan Ni) and Lin Manjiang finally meet is another flavor. After so many years of being a "back pot man", Shi Hongxing finally couldn't stand it anymore. She found Lin Manjiang and decided to have a showdown with him. When she told the previous things one by one, Lin Manjiang denied it all, still pushing all the blame on her. His coldness and cunning made Shi Hongxing, who had always regarded him as an idol, finally see the true face. From having a glimmer of hope to heartfelt anger to despairing, Yan Ni shows the psychological changes of the characters delicately and movingly. She uses her eyes, expressions, and voices to show the ups and downs of emotions until the final emotional climax. In this scene, Yan Ni showed superb acting skills, even a few times of crying are not the same, there are tears, there are tears flowing, there are crying pains... The conversation between the two is full of subtext, and the final hug makes it all meaningful. And this meeting also became the last straw that crushed Shi Hongxing, allowing her to see her life clearly, and making the subsequent suicide more reasonable.
Today's TV series, it is rare to see such an enjoyable frontal deep confrontation scene. If the previous scene is a duel between men, like a storm, making people feel happy, then the second hero and heroine's opponent scene is like a gentle autumn rain, but it is cold to the bone. The two scenes, you come and go, layer by layer, peak circuit turn, so that the audience has the feeling of returning to the drama stage.
The success of these two scenes is indispensable for choreography, directing and acting. The first is that the director dares to use the capacity of half an episode or even half of the episode on a confrontation or confrontation, which shows his unique vision. Secondly, thanks to the screenwriter, such hand-to-hand plays are all supported by lines, and a large number of lines in these two scenes not only conform to the identity of the characters, but also write the character and write the emotions, which is commendable. Of course, good actors are also key, replaced by some so-called traffic stars, and screenwriters dare not write more than two lines of lines.
Breakout is not an impeccable work. The end of the whole drama is hurried, there is a suspicion of tigers and snakes, and some plot branches seem redundant, such as the unjust case of reporter Qin Xiaochong. Another point is that the TV series has profoundly revealed Lin Manjiang's power grabbing and corruption, but it has not excavated the root causes of his corruption enough. His whole drama "anti-corruption and clean government, party discipline and state law" and other slogans are too much, and the narration is also a bit of a snake. Still, Breakout is a good drama worth watching.
