In 2018, screenwriter Zhou Mason fell ill and was hospitalized, but he "brought fire" to the hospital.
The year before, his screenplay "In the Name of the People" was a hit, and major capitals came to seek cooperation in the name of "visiting the sick", and for a time the door was like a market.
Yaoke Media is also one of them.
They wanted to make another of Zhou's novels, "The People's Property," into a TV series.
After Zhou Mason learned of the other party's intentions, he made a mistake.
This novel is the work he wants to write most in his life, and the protagonist's experience is also the experience he has had.
But the novel is about the story of state-owned enterprise reform, not as eye-catching as "In the Name of the People", and the water of state-owned enterprise reform is "not shallower than the official field", which means that the real film may also face a series of review problems.
However, Yaoke Media said that it would make a fine product that could be retained, and Zhou Mason was deeply moved, and the TV series "People's Property" was put on the agenda.
"In the Name of the People" took one year from start to broadcast, but this "Property of the People" took a full 3 years and experienced a series of ups and downs.
At the end of 2018, the drama was put into filming, and the investment amount of the whole drama reached 400 million.
This drama brings together Jin Dong, Yan Ni, Huang Zhizhong, Chen Xiao, Qin Lan, Geng Le and other powerful actors, which is even worse than "The Name of the People".
In January 2019, the whole drama was completed.
However, because of the bold theme, the play encountered many obstacles in the review.
In the next 2 years, the show underwent 2 remakes, cut 17 episodes, and finally changed the original name of "People's Property" to "Breakout", and finally met the audience not long ago.
At the launch of the new drama of "Breakout", Zhou Mason excitedly said that this drama can meet the audience, which is already a huge victory.
"Breakout" premiered on Oriental Satellite TV, updated synchronously on the network platform, And Pi Ge also watched 4 episodes, and after watching it, there were too many things to say, and it was difficult to say a word.
Like "In the Name of the People", the story of "Breakout" also takes place in Jingzhou, and the two dramas are independent of each other, but also achieve some kind of linkage.
For example, secretary Li Dakang, who we are familiar with, still exists in the new drama, but the actor has changed, and the character name has been changed to Lu Deguang.
For example, the mayor of Sun Liancheng, who we are familiar with, is also there, but the name has become Sun Yingcheng, and his follow-up in "The Name of the People" is removed from his post and sent to the Science and Technology Museum, and he has completed his debut in the Science and Technology Museum at the beginning.
For example, the familiar YiXue appeared in the new drama, or the original actor, but the name was changed to Li Xuexue.
At the jingzhou shulian debriefing report held in the third episode, Lu Deguang also mentioned Ding Yizhen, Sun Liancheng and other people in the previous work in his speech, which made us find a familiar feeling.
However, this linkage is only an embellishment, and the story of "Breakout" is completely new.
It tells the story of a state-owned enterprise reform, and the whole play has two timelines.
One is the glorious development process of this state-owned enterprise in 80 years, and the other is the story of the state-owned enterprise experienced in 80 days.
The two timelines are nested in each other, weaving a complex story network, Zhou Meisen wanted to make "Breakout" into a Qingming River Map when he was writing the screenplay, asking us to show the audience the lives of state-owned enterprises, small and medium-sized private enterprises and contemporary people at all levels.
After watching the first 4 episodes, The point that Pig felt most deeply was the "amount of information".
Compared with other water injection dramas, the amount of information given by "Breakout" is too large.
At the beginning of the whole drama, the state-owned enterprise Zhongfu Group ushered in the 80th anniversary, but the subsidiary Jingzhou Zhongfu had a mine permeability accident.
Group chairman Lin Manjiang (Huang Zhizhong) sent Qi Ben'an (Jin Dong) to Jingzhou as the chairman of the subsidiary, which caused trouble to the general manager of the subsidiary, Shi Hongxing (Yan Ni), while Lin Manjiang, Qi Ben'an, and Shi Hongxing were still brought out by a master, and the three were also enemies and friends, and a big drama slowly opened.
The whole drama takes Qi Ben'an's imminent appointment as the entry point, taking us to see the party and government leaders, business executives, newspaper reporters and low-level people, and almost every audience can find their own position in the play.
And what amazes me the most is that after watching 4 episodes, I can't tell who is a good person in the protagonist and who is a bad person, and each character has a righteous and selfish side.
Let's say that Lin Manjiang, played by Huang Zhizhong, is a man of great talent and is the head of the enterprise.
But when he was young, he fought with others for the title of a labor model, and finally the teacher exchanged a national labor model for his provincial labor model, which can be seen that this person must be compared.
After he took power, he took over the power, and his superiors appointed his disciple Qi Ben'an as the head of the subsidiary, but he waited a month before he officially announced, ostensibly saying a set of great principles for being an official, but no one knew what calculations he had in mind.
In addition, the protagonist Qi Ben'an, played by Jin Dong, is indeed full of righteousness, and the new official has burned three fires when he takes office, and he has also turned away the subordinates who pay bribes.
However, he was too sharp, offended many people, and inadvertently squeezed the office of his sister Shi Hongxing, offending the Jingzhou Group up and down, and was destined to plant a heel behind him.
Then there is Shi Hongxing, played by Yan Ni.
She is a strong woman in the play, everything is always charged, but the heart is not open, to the master and disciple Qi Ben'an all kinds of provocative children, Qi Ben'an went to Lin Manjiang's house to make a meal, she felt that the master and brother were begging the chairman.
When the new official of the master and disciple took office with three fires, she felt that she would say sour words to everyone she was.
The three protagonists of the whole drama are also good and evil.
There is a scene in the opening chapter, the three of them have a meal at Lin Manjiang's house and come to a mouth cannon version of "Three Kingdoms Killing", sparks splash between their words, as the audience is difficult to predict who is the last big tiger to be beaten down.
The upper immortal fighting method is wonderful, and the lower ghost fighting is even more beautiful.
Xi Meijuan plays Cheng Duanyang in the play, she is the master of the three protagonists at that time, very decent, but has an indisputable son Pi Dan, for this son, she often asks for help from her apprentice, which has also become a stain on her.
Actor Gao Xin plays Pi Dan on the day when the old man is not angry.
Gao Xin once played the handsome GeErhao, and then transformed, playing the cowardly big brother Su Mingzhe in "All Is Good", and in this drama he played such a nest role.
Pi Dan is the chairman of Jingzhou Energy, but as a result, he is idle, not good at running the company, speculating in houses outside, nibbling at home, and Qi Ben'an took him down as soon as he took office.
Niu Junjie, the general manager of Jingzhou Energy, and he and Pi Dan formed a "cowhide" combination, which is two living treasures in the play.
Niu Junjie and Shi Hongxing are husband and wife, but the result is that they are separated, they are on the verge of divorce, he is dressed scruffily, he does not do things in a trimish manner, he dozes off at a meeting where Qi Ben'an took office, snoring like thunder makes people laugh, it turns out that there was a mining accident the night before, he did not sleep all night to deal with the accident, this role is also full of complexity.
Niu Junjie's actor is Geng Le, who was also a small fresh meat at that time, and he never expected that Geng Le and Gao Xin had become the funny bearers of the play.
The sketch actor Period also played a fierce role in the play Lu Jianjian.
He was the deputy secretary of the party committee of the Jingzhou Group, and he was very dissatisfied with The airborne landing of Qi Ben'an, and when the first meeting was held, he directly pretended to be ill and was hospitalized.
Many people think that the period is just a sketch actor, in fact, he has acted well, and he played a fierce role in Huang Jianxin's "Back to Back Face to Face" that year, and playing Lu Jianjian in this drama is also handy.
Qin Lan plays Qi Ben'an's wife, Fan Jiahui, who is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, and she will lead to a new story line.
In the later episodes, Qin Xiaochong, played by Chen Xiao, was deceived into 300,000 wives and separated, and he was involved with the Zhongfu Group through Fan Jiahui, and this originally intricate series will be more entangled.
As Zhou Mason said, "Breakout" is not a drama that burns at one point like "The Name of the People", but it is more comprehensive, pays attention to all aspects of society, and is a modern version of ukiyo-e.
After two years of difficult childbirth, it finally met with the audience in a low-key manner, and after the first four episodes, the real drama is about to begin, and the friends hurry up to catch up!
