Since "The Pretender" and "Langya List", Jin Dong has become a hot "middle-aged male god" in China.
After starring in the main theme drama "Ideal Illuminates China" and the poverty alleviation drama "Warm Taste" this year, Jin Dong has not been seen on the screen for a long time.
It turned out that he was holding back a big move -
Breakout
Don't underestimate this show, talking about its other name can surprise everyone: "The Name of the People 2".
In fact, "Breakout" is adapted from Zhou Meisen's novel "The People's Property" and is a sequel to the pure-blooded "In the Name of the People".
The screenwriter of this "Breakout" is also the original author Zhou Meisen.
There are pearls and jade from the previous work in front, and there is also the fan heat accumulated by "The Name of the People", and the premiere of "Breakout" is a big hit.
On television, the two David TV stations, Oriental Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV, quickly broke through 2 after broadcasting, ranking first.
On streaming media, "Breakout" landed on Youaiteng at the same time, no matter which platform the audience can see it for the first time.
What's more, just one premiere, "Breakout" has 17 hot searches, and the audience's expectations for this drama can be seen.
So how is this "Breakout" in the end, why is it so "arrogant" not only mentions 17 hot searches, but also breaks 2 ratings, ranking first?
After Tomato Jun brushed up on the release of a few episodes for the first time, he couldn't wait to talk to everyone about the perception.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > let's start with the story. </h1>
Because "Breakthrough" is about the loss of state-owned assets and the reform and transformation of state-owned enterprises, let's start with the enterprise "Zhongfu State-owned Enterprise".
In 2013, the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of Zhongfu Group, Lin Manjiang (Huang Zhizhong), chairman and secretary of the party group of Zhongfu Group, came to the group to check the preparations for the celebration.
Accompanying him is Qi Ben'an (Jin Dong), the director of cultural propaganda of Zhongfu Group.
Although it is a superior-subordinate relationship within the group, in fact, Qi Ben'an and Lin Manjiang are brothers, and the two have a good personal relationship.
The group side is busy preparing for the celebration, but the situation of the companies below is 100,000 urgent.
Jingzhou Energy Company, a subsidiary of Zhongfu Group, had a sudden safety accident at night, and one mine was permeable, and no one died for the time being, but many people were injured and two people were trapped.
Niu Junjie (Geng Le), the general manager of Jingzhou Energy Company, can break his heart.
While counting the number of casualties, he put on his uniform and went underground to check the disaster.
In fact, jingzhou energy company accident is not only a mining disaster, but also a very serious financial and corruption problem.
This is clearer to Shi Hongxing (Yan Ni), vice chairman of Jingzhou Zhongfu.
However, she made it clear to the deputy secretary of the party committee that if she wanted to investigate, she would have to wait until after the celebration of the eightieth anniversary, and it would never affect the celebration.
And this Shi Hongxing is Lin Manjiang's sister, Qi Ben'an's sister, and Niu Junjie's wife.
At the beginning, four people and three lines seem chaotic, but in fact, there is a complex and sensitive network of relationships.
Then something happened that connected them all.
Not long after visiting the celebration site, Lin Manjiang appointed Qi Ben'an as the chairman of the board of directors and party secretary of Jingzhou Zhongfu.
For Lin Manjiang, this paper appointment has two considerations.
First, Qi Ben'an is his own person, and he has been promoted to belong to his own faction, and the so-called fat water does not flow to the fields of outsiders.
Second, Jingzhou Zhongfu is now a mess of mining disasters and financial problems, and it urgently needs a person to deal with it, even if it is not handled well, there can be a scapegoat.
For Ben an, however, it was a good thing.
Qi Ben'an is the second oldest in the millennium in Zhongfu Group, and this time he finally has the opportunity to transfer any of the leaders, which is a very good opportunity.
But Shi Hongxing was not happy, she was the second in command of Jingzhou Zhongfu, and she had been worried about the position of the first leader.
This was not easy to be vacant, but it was filled by his own master and disciple, not only could not hang on his face, but in the future, he would have to listen to Qi Ben'an everywhere and see people's faces.
A simple letter of appointment pulled out the layers of contradictions within the Zhongfu Group.
The surface is calm and calm, and the undercurrent is surging behind the ground.
On the surface, the safety of enterprise employees, the problem of shantytown explosion, and the problem of huge capital flow are all fatal problems.
Behind the scenes, the operation encountered obstacles, the internal gangs and factions were highly indebted, and the loss of state-owned assets was enough to ruin Qi Ben'an's career.
For Qi Ben'an, who took office, the test had just begun.
In the opening three episodes, "Breakout" explains the entangled character relationships, complex corporate contradictions and sharp state-owned enterprise problems, which are fast-paced and very brain-burning.
Audiences familiar with Zhou Mason know that this is just a "bureau" that has just begun, and once they enter the game and are familiar with this narrative method, the show will definitely gradually enter a better state in the future.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="113" after brushing >, Tomato Jun's first impression is that as an audience, you can definitely trust the cast of "Breakout". </h1>
In addition to the screenwriter and the original teacher Zhou Meisen, the director of "Breakout" is Shen Yan, who has just directed "Unsung Hero Yu Min" in "Meritorious Service", and his old partner Liu Haibo.
The actors are even more immortal lineups.
Tomato Jun probably counted, like "The Name of the People", there are many well-known drama bones, even the supporting roles are national first-level actors, and there are as many as twelve national first-level actors alone.
In addition to the Jin Dong, Huang Zhizhong and Yan Ni we are familiar with, the Berlin Film Emperor Jing chun also joined "Breakout".
Geng Le, who has not been seen on the screen for a long time, and Xi Meijuan after the scene.
Playing The famous Ding Yongdai of Peng Dehuai, as well as national first-class actors Gao Ming, Han Tongsheng and Tu Songyan.
There are also Wang Yang, Huang Pinyuan, Feng Jiayi and so on.
Such a lineup, who grasps in the hand is not a "king fried"?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="114" > in the plot, the director's space is very large. </h1>
The first three episodes seem to be very short, but in fact, in terms of plot preparation and character shaping, director Shen Yan has played enough.
Taking the relationship between Lin Manjiang and Qi Ben'an, is it really as good as their private brothers? Not necessarily.
At the beginning, Qi Ben'an took Lin Manjiang to visit the celebration exhibition hall, and the theme he set was "Blood and Fire Age, Hard Work." ”
This theme word has not only been thought out, but also made a large poster to hang on the wall.
Ke Lin Manjiang was not satisfied: Is it better to call the war years?
When the leader spoke, Qi Ben'an had no choice but to say one word: change.
After going to the exhibition hall, Lin Manjiang was not satisfied: there was not a Dodge car in the 40s, what exhibition was called.
He also gave Qi Ben'an a clue to go to Myanmar to find it.
Qi Ben'an had no choice, and sent someone to go without being allowed, and finally could only say that he personally went to Yangon.
Two details, "Breakout" shows the relationship between leaders and subordinates, as well as Lin Manjiang and Qi Ben'an, to the extreme.
The so-called "boss moves his mouth, subordinates run and break their legs."
Even if the large poster has been done and the exhibition work has been done to the extreme, as long as the leader is not satisfied, every word must be redone.
Secondly, Lin Manjiang is very attached to Qi Ben'an on the surface, but in fact he only regards him as his pawn and political capital.
The two things that don't seem big, Lin Manjiang only needs a word, Qi Ben'an is running and breaking his leg and has to change it.
This is no longer a simple combination of grace and power, but absolute command and obedience.
Before Qi Ben'an set out for Jingzhou, Lin Manjiang also said a meaningful sentence: If you cherish your feathers, you may lose your wings.
On the surface, it was to reason with Qi Ben'an as a brother.
In addition, he is threatening Qi Ben'an with the title of chairman: If things don't work out, I can also get rid of you.
Really good drama, verbal sharpness, is a big part of dramatic conflict.
In "Breakout", there are still many lines with voiceovers, and watching the drama a little more carefully can get a full experience.
In addition to the confrontation in details, Tomato Jun has to praise Yan Ni here, she put a superficial strong woman, back to the back of the horse's ass second-in-command, played too well, into the wood three points.
Before Qi Ben'an went to Jingzhou, he was called to his home by Lin Manjiang to eat, along with Shi Hongxing, played by Yan Ni.
Although it is said that it is the meal of the brothers and sisters, in the meal, Shi Hongxing has done his best to shoot horses.
Lin Manjiang ate a bite of rice, to take the napkin, Shi Hongxing took the first step, the two hands almost at the same time stained the tissue, but still shi Hongxing snatched and handed it to Lin Manjiang.
Lin Manjiang said that he wanted to settle them for a few words, and Shi Hongxing quickly took out a pen and notebook from his bag, and made a gesture of taking notes.
Later, Lin Manjiang said that Shi Hongxing struggled to write a book, leaving only an embarrassed Qi Ben'an, who did not touch the paper and pen when he touched it.
Finally, Qi Ben'an wanted to toast Shi Hongxing with a glass of wine, expressing the hope that when he arrived in Jingzhou, Shi Hongxing could help him.
Shi Hongxing did not speak, just finished drinking, and deliberately gave Lin Manjiang a look at the empty cup.
In three small actions, Yan Ni showed the audience an extremely hypocritical and flattering female leader, but also a scheming female leader who was long in the city government.
She is good at turning any private occasion into a formal occasion for work, good at observing the color, understanding the leader's every move through eyes and body movements, and can immediately make feedback that satisfies the leader.
To Qi Ben'an, a disciple who was about to surpass herself, she was full of encouragement on the surface, but in fact she was extremely unhappy in her heart.
Finally, Lin Manjiang demanded that Shi Hongxing's husband Niu Junjie be strictly investigated, and she actually expressed her attitude in person: You check my husband to the sky, and I will never be soft-hearted.
Frightened, Qi Ben'an immediately said soft words: Is there such a bitter vendetta?
A meal, really ate the feeling of "Hongmen Feast".
After watching the release of a few episodes, Tomato Jun is still very much looking forward to "Breakout".
A game of business and nepotism seems to have just begun.
Whether "Breakout" can become the next "In the Name of the People" is not yet a conclusion. However, the improvement in the quality of chinese drama this year is visible to the naked eye.
I hope that the reputation of "Breakout" can also catch up with other high-quality Chinese dramas, which is a feast for the audience.
