Gao Kai's explosive opening drama "Crazy" released the last two episodes tonight.
Since the opening of the score, the drama's Douban score has rushed from 8.7 to 9.1 today, and more than 63% of the raters have given it a "five-star".
CCTV ratings and online broadcasts broke records in a row, and the veritable 2023 national drama opened the year first.
With the release of the 37-episode plot, the final fate of the main characters in the play has gradually emerged.
Especially in the final few episodes, before the inspection team started, the villains were already fighting madly, and if the supervision group did not close the net, they themselves would all die together.
"Crazy" is a standard three-act drama, which is divided into three time periods, if the first and middle paragraphs of this drama write a history of the rise of black and evil characters, then the finale story allows us to see how the black and evil forces collapse from within.
Although there has been a lot of plot speculation before, judging from the development of the finale, it should be unexpected by almost everyone.
To sum up, 15 characters, 15 endings, 10 endings expected, 5 unexpected. The biggest variable in the finale is Lao Mo's daughter Huang Yao.
For the story finale, director Xu Jizhou said two words: a crushing victory.
Next, let's take a look at the 15 main characters in the play before the final finale, which people's fate is as the audience expected, and which ones, fate is beyond everyone's expectations.
The first place: Gao Qiqiang
Netizens ridiculed that the subtitle of "Crazy" can be called: "The History of a Fish Seller", it can be said that Gao Qiqiang was completely played by Zhang Songwen.
In recent years, there have been more and more themes of anti-gang crime and evil. But many villains are blackened and facetious.
Gao Qiqiang can become the hottest and most out-of-the-loop villain after Qi Tongwei in "In the Name of the People", the key is from a small fishmonger to a big guy in the rivers and lakes, and the role has a very specific and credible growth line -
The fishmonger who was bullied - he couldn't bear to fight back and get to know An Xin - took advantage of the situation to complete blackening - subdued the people who bullied him - was supported by the godfather - bought the officials to become bigger.
He has a full gang membership: a violent, intelligent and extremely controlling brother, a faithful little brother and killer, a nasty stepson, and a close-knit wife, sister, and adopted daughter.
And the process of the finale is actually the process of Gao's forces being disintegrated step by step: the godfather was betrayed by him, the officials who bought the money tore their faces with him, his younger brother died for him, his wife was killed by the enemy, Tang Xiaolong, who was loyal to him, was arrested, Tang Xiaohu died to protect his sister and son, and his sister's stepson no longer believed him.
He grew up in Old Factory Street, nostalgic for the old, often went back to the old fish stall to see, thought about moving An Xin, and finally did not do it, because An was kind to him. But at the last moment, the sentiment card was useless, and he ended up betraying everyone.
At first, An Xin asked him to read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and when he came to life and death, the strategy he thought of was PUBG in Sun Tzu's Art of War, that is, he sent a killer to assassinate himself, seriously injuring his stepson, and diverting the attention of the inspection team.
The boy who once slaughtered the dragon has completely turned into a dragon, but he still can't get rid of his fate.
From the day when Xu Zhong led the supervision group into Jinghai, Gao Qiqiang had already entered the countdown, but before the supervision group closed the net, Zhao Lidong could not sit still, and with Tan Siyan mentioned during the showdown between Gao and Zhao Lidong, Zhao Lidong directly sent down the mountain.
In the end, Lao Mo's daughter Huang Yao was held hostage by the killer, and Gao Qiqiang, who rushed to save people, was forced to jump off the building by the killer.
Some viewers expressed that they did not understand that Gao would jump off the building for a stepdaughter, in fact, it was very easy to understand, he was going astray step by step, but after sitting up, he was playing a side stove in the tea house, loving a woman all his life, not drinking or luxury goods, the most important thing for him is his family.
And he has long raised Lao Mo's daughter as his own daughter.
Although he was forced to jump off the building in the trailer, take the glasses he wore all his life, and take a deep breath, the series will most likely not give him such an easy ending: it is too cheap to die like a father to save his stepdaughter.
He should be rescued, and the final fate may be to be arrested by An Xin himself to complete the closed loop of the story.
In any case, Gao Qiqiang, who is at the moment of life and death, may remember the tears shed on the night when he threatened the Tang brothers,
It was a moment of depravity for a good soul, and everything today is predestined from that moment.
Second and third: Tang Xiaolong & Tang Xiaohu
The two characters of the Tang brothers, when they first started watching the show, the audience only thought they were the market administrator bullies he hated him.
The two scenes near the end gave the audience a new understanding of them.
Both of them were the ones who bullied Gao Qiqiang when they were in the old factory street at the beginning, but ended up working with him.
After Tang Xiaolong was released from prison, he only asked his younger brother two sentences, one was "How does Brother Qiang treat you?" Another sentence is "Why didn't Brother Qiang come to pick me up?" "All that's left is silence.
It was not until he received Gao Qiqiang's gift and everyone's honorific title "Brother Long" that he let go of his heart, tears came down all of a sudden, and finally said the words in his heart: "I'm afraid that I will come out, and you won't take me to play." ”
Gao Qiqiang accepted them into his core team regardless of previous suspicions, always valued and trusted them, and did not forget to send a pot of soup to Tang Xiaohu at the last critical moment, which has calculation and true feelings, and not all of them are fake.
When the ending Gao Qiqiang was trapped in his abdomen, the Tang brothers also made sacrifices for him.
Tang Xiaolong resisted in the SWAT raid, and wanted to commit suicide to keep the secret, but was saved by An Xin by sacrificing his life, and what awaited him was the severe punishment of the law.
Tang Xiaohu was in the raid down the mountain, in order to cover Gao Qiqiang's sister stepson, he fell to the ground with several knives in his body, and he must be fierce.
The production team of the drama has Liu Weiqiang's assistant director for many years, and the relationship between the Tang brothers and Gao is also reminiscent of the brotherhood in Hong Kong gangster films, but compared with the praise of underworld love in Hong Kong films, the attitude of this play to their love is negative.
Tang Xiaolong said that he had followed Brother Qiang over the years, cool. But their ending is also embarrassing.
True affection is always touching, but when this love turns to evil, it is only worthy of a sentence of complicity after all.
Fourth place: Yang Jian
"Rage" has the rise and fall of underworld forces, as well as the ups and downs of the fate of "black-related personnel" as ordinary people. They may have been good guys, good cops, but eventually fell into darkness.
Yang Jian, played by Wang Xiao, was once the anti-drug captain, and when he was on duty in the traffic police team, he met An Xin to send Meng Yu to the airport, and was stopped by him at speed. An Xin took out his documents and wanted Yang to let him go, but Yang did not favor favoritism and asked An Xin how the work should continue if everyone in Jinghai City talked about private affairs.
This accident contributed to the relationship between Meng Yu and Yang in the later period, and also made An Xin think that he was very relieved to entrust Meng Yu to Yang Jian.
But ever since Yang Jian knew that Meng Yu was Meng Dehai's daughter, his eyes flashed with that unconcealable ambition.
When Meng Yu was hurt for a long time and could not be calmed, Yang Jian appeared in time and finally asked Meng Yu to marry him, and An Xin was white overnight after getting the invitation, but at the same time he was happy for Meng Yu.
became Meng Dehai's son-in-law, Yang Jian also quickly changed from an anti-narcotics police to a leader of the power supply bureau, the 228 case is because Zhao Lidong wants to support Wang Li to become the deputy director of the power supply bureau, and Gao Qiqiang wants Yang Jian to be elected, although the surface is soft, but behind the scenes, he made small moves, which eventually led to Wang Li unable to bear the pressure and take the initiative to resign, Yang Jian successfully took the position, and since then "behind the electricity of Jinghai, half surnamed Gao, half surnamed Yang."
Behind it was Gao Qiqiang who deliberately distributed part of the profits to Yang, because he knew that there was Meng Dehai behind Yang.
Since then, Yang has been complicit with Gao Qiqiang to take advantage, and when the supervision team found his head, Yang Jian could only resist arrest with a gun, but unlike Qi Tongwei, who committed suicide in "In the Name of the People", in the face of the call of his old comrades, he finally turned himself in with a sound.
At the end of the road, he blamed the reason for his mistake on the head of pursuing Meng Yu, and forced Meng Yu to help him poison An Xin, which was both degrading and tasteless, which was really shameful.
Fifth place: Meng Yu
The character of Meng Yu and actor Li Yitong are like sitting at both ends of a seesaw.
In the first half of the story, the role of Meng Yu is one of the most likable characters at the beginning of the series, naïve, frank, affectionate, and An Xin's childhood sweetheart, who originally had a bright future.
However, Li Yitong's performance at this stage has aroused many doubts from the audience.
But In order to deal with the enemy to the end, An Xin chose to give up his relationship with Meng Yu, which constituted a watershed for the role.
Meng Yu married Yang Jian, who she didn't like in her heart, but when her mother was sick in bed, her husband broke the law and committed crimes, and her father was also implicated, she walked into a café to date An Xin with the small pills given by her husband in all directions, and finally gave herself "poison".
At this time, Meng Yu's personality had taken a sharp turn, and although she did not poison An Xin in the end, this was probably the result of repeated torture by her conscience.
And Li Yitong's acting skills, which entered the closing stage, suddenly lit up, and under her mature makeup, she completely performed the inner entanglement and disguise of the character, and the trembling hands that were drugged were all dramas.
At present, An Xin and Meng Yu are expected to relive their old dreams, and if they are, it is not a good ending.
The world is like this, there are no absolute good people, there are no absolute bad people, an innocent girl like Meng Yu may also change in the internal and external difficulties of life, and the audience should also accept the complexity of life.
Sixth and seventh: Zhao Lidong & Secretary Wang
For the ending of these two, the audience will neither have questions nor be surprised.
The wicked are severely punished by the law, and this ending is both the inevitable development of the story and the will of the people.
From the beginning of the story, Zhao Lidong has already exposed the identity of the villain.
Gao Qiqiang once said that Zhao Lidong is mysterious. But for the audience, this is a rare character in "Crazy", from beginning to end.
What he wants to accomplish, he always doesn't say, but through the mouth of Secretary Wang, let other people understand, instruct Gao Qiqiang, and command Li Xiang's master and apprentice, so that one day the East Window incident occurs, he can get rid of himself to the greatest extent.
But he is not only a corrupt official so simple, but from top to bottom reveals the extreme meanness of personality, simply put, this is the scum of personal scum.
No matter how bad Gao Qiqiang is, it is always true that he has feelings for his own people, but Zhao Lidong treats everyone as a pawn in his hand, abandons them when he is finished, and never fulfills his promises, has Cao Cao become the deputy director to death? No.
To treat Gao Qiqiang, his attitude is also not to treat people as people, as dogs, no wonder netizens said that Van Gogh Qisheng is still alive, he must wear a mask to tie him up, forcing him to drink two boxes of apple cider vinegar.
Gao Qiqiang is in trouble, but Zhao Lidong just wants to force him to get out of Jinghai, otherwise he will die, such a despicable character can be among the best even in the anti-black dramas over the years, and the only person who can hate more than him in this play is Secretary Wang.
This is really a character that the audience wants to hit him once they see him, and it is too praiseworthy for Cheng Ka Bin to play this role to the point that every action is annoying.
At the end of the day, these are two rotten people tied together. There is nothing else to say about their fate audience, just one word: yes!
8th, 9th, 10th: Li Xiang & Lu Han & Tan Siyan
Li Xiang, finally it was Li Xiang's turn.
To be honest, to say which character has worried the audience from beginning to end in "Crazy", I think no one can compare to Li Xiang. Even the protagonist An Xin is not as good as his reputation in the audience's mind.
Because he, like Lu Han, wrote the bloody word "sacrifice" behind the anti-black achievements.
Li Xiang, played by Li Jian, gave people a down-to-earth feeling as soon as he appeared, and he was a policeman who knew how to advance and retreat and could bend his waist, and his workplace was indeed much smoother than An Xin, but the audience never expected that he had become an unsung hero against the black.
Li Xiang doesn't play much, but Bian Xin has an arc, precisely because of him, the subtlety of human nature, the main creator did not want to avoid.
Li Xiang's family is in Mang Village, and there is a show-off dad and a cunning village chief. He was repeatedly forced by Zhao Lidong to buy him to do dirty things with a gas card that was not worth mentioning.
Li Xiang took the opportunity to go undercover to collect evidence from Zhao Lidong, but the end still failed, but the failure was not that he was stupid, but that the evidence he sacrificed his life to collect finally returned to Zhao Lidong.
Even if he fails, the audience still loves him to death, because he is more like an ordinary person than An Xin.
Li Xiang insisted on not saying that the master had a problem, not only for the sake of the master's reputation, but also for the second half of the family's life, if he told the truth according to An Xin, it would be a credit to himself, but what about the future life of the master?
He is the state of countless ordinary people.
So he will be entangled and hesitant, unable to move forward like An Xin, he has too many things to worry about.
But it is such a character, the hair is combed, the old cadre suit is worn, the thermos cup is taken, the character charm is still handsome, and the audience still thinks of him after being offline for so long.
Whether it is a deaf mother, Lu Han, who has been missing for seven years, or Wang Li of the power bureau who was persuaded by An Xin to testify and was killed by Zhao Lidong, their end may feel cruel.
But Li Yannian has a line in "Merit": "Being a hero is not so romantic, it is to shed blood and sacrifice."
And the final successful results of the anti-gang sweep are not only from An Xin or the supervision group, but also to Li Xiang, Lu Han, and even Wang Li and Tan Siyan who should not be forgotten.
If the final fate of the above characters is expected, then what will be said next is almost unexpected.
Eleventh place: Huang Yao
The biggest variable in the finale of the series is obviously Huang Yao.
Previously, many drama reviews and audience comments believed that Huang Yao would become the key to Anxin's breakthrough in the end, and even thought that Huang Yao was the murderer of Chen Shuting.
But it can also be a huge misconception.
Huang Yao is the daughter of Lao Mo and Huang Cuicui, her mother died because of Zhao Lidong, and her father died in the line of duty for Gao Qiqiang.
Huang Yao has since been raised by Gao Qiqiang as a daughter, working in Gao Qiqiang's Qiangsheng Group, and has rotated seven departments, and finally the finance department, which is equivalent to full contact with Gao's business, which is considered evidence that Gao does not love her.
But this speculation is simply untenable, if a person as cautious as Gao Qiqiang has no feelings for Huang Yao, how can she contact her core business?
And what does Lao Mo's death have to do with Chen Shuting? Why did Huang Yao kill Chen Shuting, who took care of her in Hong Kong? These inferences are too perverse.
If the screenwriter is really arranged as netizens imagined, it is really reversed for the sake of reversal.
The more real plot logic is that Gao Qiqiang loves Chen Shuting, hurts his sister and brother, and explains that his stepson is his wife, but he will not give his business to his impulsive and reckless stepson, and the next generation will always have someone to contact his own business, and this choice is only left with Huang Yao.
Huang Yao, who lost her father since childhood, grew up under the care of Gao Qiqiang and knew little about his father's death, according to the logic of ordinary people, do you choose to follow Gao Qiqiang or go undercover? The answer is not simple.
In the finale, Gao Qiqiang's financial director wanted to run away with the accounts, but was stopped by Huang Yao wittily.
And she was eventually hijacked by the lower peak, and also became Gao Qiqiang's talisman.
There are two possibilities for the role of the finale: one is really undercover, then she is the biggest weight for An Xin to knock down Gao.
The second is that she is dead set on treating Gao Qiqiang as a relative, and the audience seems to be aiding and abusing, but substituting the fate of the character will find that all this is more reasonable, and I personally want to see such a plot arrangement that is in line with human nature than forcing it to reverse.
Twelfth place: Gao Qilan
Gao Qilan's fate is, in a sense, the most tragic in the whole play.
She did not have Gao Qisheng's self-seeking death, did not have the Tang brothers' fight for the tiger, and the only reason for her fate was that she was Gao Qiqiang's sister.
Although Gao Qiqiang's power later became bigger, it was Gao Qilan's adulthood, she should have relied on her own ability to be admitted to the Medical College to become a doctor, and did not enter Gao's enterprise after graduation.
Because the eldest Chinese New Year's Eve went to deliver dumplings to her brother who was locked up in the police station, she happened to meet the kind-hearted An Xin, and since then she has liked An Xin for 21 years, and this infatuation makes people feel even more intriguing, because An Xin can't be with anyone with her.
All this is even more embarrassing with the sassy shape of the character Ji Huan Tiancai, my sister is so good-looking that she doesn't have to hang a book tree.
What's even more embarrassing is that An Xin asked her to eat a dumpling, and she was desperately trying to set her words.
Although Gao Qiqiang's trick in the finale was recognized and broke her heart, Gao Qilan's feelings for her brother Gao Qiqiang were too deep, even if she finally found out what her brother Gao Qiqiang did, it would be difficult to provide evidence for An Xin ruthlessly, at most taking Gao Xiaochen away from all this.
She didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end, but the person she loved couldn't love her, and the brother she remembered the most was doomed to perish, and she was powerless.
Fate does not always have a choice, especially for Gao Qilan, this tension of character fate is the charm of "Crazy".
Thirteenth: Meng Dehai
Meng Dehai's fall from the horse, before the finale, there was actually a premonition.
In the first episode of "Crazy", Meng Dehai and Zhao Lidong appeared together to meet the supervision group, but they were directly released by the supervision group, and some of these people must have a problem.
Judging from the story line, Meng was undoubtedly a good policeman, and when investigating the Xu Jiang case, Meng Dehai helped An Xin again and again under pressure, and did not hesitate to offend his superiors for this, and he could not have anything to do with Gao Qiqiang at that time.
But when he became the city leader, he had more contact with Gao in the work of Mangcun.
So the question is, when did Meng Dehai change? I think Meng Dehai has not changed, at least not as actively corrupt as his son-in-law Yang Jian, but there is a huge game of learning and people's hearts hidden in officialdom, and once the border is lost, it cannot be recovered.
Elder Huang, who was in the nursing home, knew that Yang Jian had a problem.
Meng Dehai, who was still in office, said that he was completely unaware of what his son-in-law was doing, and no one believed it.
In the end, he paid the price for his choice, whether it was turning himself in or explaining the problem, the outcome was the same.
At present, Meng's fate is not explicitly mentioned in the plot, but we can expect that the so-called Skynet is restored, and he will eventually be judged by the law.
To the audience's expectations, this old jianghu, who has been clean all his life, was finally planted on the son-in-law, and fate is really a huge irony.
Fourteenth place: Chen Shuting
The drama "Crazy" can be said to be a standard men's drama, and there are many powerful people, and it is not surprising that the female role is suppressed, but Chen Shuting, the sister-in-law played by Gao Ye, has become one of the most outstanding roles.
Chen Shuting's death unexpectedly surpassed who fell off the horse and became the biggest suspense in the second half of the series, which in itself is the biggest proof of her acting skills.
In episode 27, after Gao Qiqiang finished eating alone, he spilled a glass of wine and said to pay tribute to Gao Qisheng and Chen Shuting.
The last time Chen Shuting appeared in the play was to look for her son in the underground parking lot. Finally, he died in an "accident".
However, in the old house of Old Factory Street, when Gao Qiqiang paid homage to Chen Shuting with Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu's brothers on the roof, he clearly suspected that Chen Shuting's death was not an accident, and instructed Tang Xiaolong to continue the investigation, and if it was found to be not an accident, it could be dealt with directly.
Judging from the results, the matter was indeed not an accident, and it was Zhao Lidong's killer who created the accident.
Chen's death touches people's hearts because she is a very unsymbolic "female villain" in this drama.
It was she who introduced Gao to Uncle Tai, watched Gao Qiqiang grow bigger step by step, and even squeezed Uncle Tai out of the game, and finally she tearfully persuaded Gao to stop, and took the initiative to leave, this role is so attractive, sometimes even let the audience forget her villain's identity, which is of course a huge performance success, and the national drama finally has an unforgettable femme fatale.
Fifteenth place: Anxin
The most difficult thing about anti-black dramas is that the protagonist is easy to fall into the trap of being too "great and bright".
In my opinion, the most extreme part of the casting of this play is not to find Zhang Songwen to play Gao Qiqiang, but to find Zhang Yi to play An Xin.
Because they are all human.
If you are a person, there will be pain, there will be grievances, there will be weaknesses.
And Zhang Yi's performance gives An Xin the role of humanity and realism that is not even in the script.
An Xin is the absolute male number one in "Crazy", and in order to "escort" him, the screenwriter not only arranged Meng Dehai and An Changlin's two uncles, but also Gao Qiqiang, a former friend.
Some people think that An Xin survived to the end by relying on his two uncles, and did not die because Gao Qiqiang missed the old.
There are yes and some wrongs.
These arrangements are indeed necessary and preconditional, but An Xin's success in fighting back after decades is by no means a mere one.
He has a deep bond with the killer Lao Mo, and spends a month's salary to do a DNA test for Lao Mo to find his daughter, so when Gao Ren can't bear to let Lao Mo kill him, Lao Mo said that he couldn't do it.
So in fact, he saved himself.
On the surface, he is a lone star-like figure, and the people around him leave one by one, first his parents, then his master, and then his friend Li Xiang.
Zhang Biao, who took over as captain, had a problem. His own apprentice also had an accident.
In the end, even Meng Dehai, the uncle who took care of him, overturned.
This is not the end, Gao Qiqiang, who he cares about, was unconsciously thought by the hawkers that he had this backer, and since then he has taken another road, and finally changed from a small fishmonger hiding under the protection of An Xin Yi to the most difficult opponent.
And in order to pull off Gao Qiqiang and the umbrella behind him, he gave up his relationship with Meng Yu and wanted to protect his lover's life, but unintentionally fulfilled the relationship between Meng Yu and Yang Jian, but inadvertently pushed his lover's family to the abyss.
Therefore, in the screenwriter's pen, An Xin has a strong protagonist aura and also has an extremely tragic fate.
But this character yearns for the light even in the dark, and gradually grows through countless struggles.
It is true that he survived to the arrival of the supervision team because of his background, but it was up to him to uphold justice and guard the bottom line.
When the supervision group arrived, An Xin suddenly felt like a dragon returning to the sea, and the whole person was completely new, whether it was insight into Meng Yu or strategizing, he was full of old wisdom and calculation, and it was definitely not comparable to the stunned young man who was stunned back then, this is the growth exchanged for 15 years of forbearance.
Although the role changed, one sentence still touched me, "Even if you know that Gao Qiqiang was like this later, were you still willing to bring him food in the first place?" His answer was: Not good.
The so-called life kisses me with pain, but I sing in return.
Although he has encountered so many waves in his life, he has never given up kindness, and in the eyes of others, this is the Virgin and is stupid.
But after seeing the fate of other people in the story, I cherish this touching feeling of being more flawed.
Why did the director say that the ending was a miserable victory, because behind the final victory, he gave up too much for justice.
Is it bitter? Chew and swallow!
The stubbornness on An Xin's body is like a firefly in the dark, because of a trace of light, it is more and more dazzling, and the test of long years is the moment that tests a person's essence the most.
So after the finale completed the task, the burden that had been on him for 20 years was finally unloaded, and he went to the cemetery to worship Lu Han, Li Xiang, Tan Siyan, like-minded comrades-in-arms, and sacrificed.
Lover, separated.
Friends, scattered.
An Xin's end is to be alone.
Of course, this final ending will not let everyone's emotions have a huge catharsis like traditional commercial dramas and cool dramas, so it is a miserable victory.
But an overly happy ending is too frivolous for the warriors who pay a huge price for the eradication of evil in real life.
This crushing victory is the best ending of the story.
Written at the end:
The good drama will eventually end, and the good drama will eventually end. As a phenomenal drama, the drama unified the remote control of many families during the Spring Festival, allowing many viewers to follow the characters in the play and feel the hardships of sweeping away evil and eliminating evil, and the sad and joyful waves of the characters in the play made the audience's mood ups and downs.
The series can be a huge success and win a very high reputation. Of course, this is not only the legend of the story itself, wonderful.
What's more, this drama does not blindly shoot the highlight moments of sweeping away evil and eliminating evil, but strives to restore the most authentic appearance of daily life.
There is a plot in the play where the beaten old couple is unwilling to testify against Gao Qiqiang because Gao gave them a house. The staff of the investigation team asked angrily: A house bought you?
The realism of the story is the most moving.
The series makes every character full of humanity and human feelings, presenting a three-dimensional and vivid image. In the days of chasing dramas, the audience cares about the fate of the characters, just as they care about their own fate.
This is the domestic drama that everyone wants to watch the most.
And the finale of the story shows that in life, no one can escape fate, but we can resist fate, may not be able to fight, such as Li Xiang, may win miserably, just like An Xin, such an ending, after all, it is worth it.
