A hint that few people understand in "Crazy": one foreshadowing is very heartfelt, and the three characters escape punishment

On February 1, the finale of the hit drama "Crazy". There was no accident at the end, the righteous side won the victory, the villain was duly punished, Gao Qiqiang and Tang Xiaolong were sentenced to death, Gao Xiaochen was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and Zhao Lidong and others were also tried one by one.

After the broadcast of "Crazy", there are indeed some high and low going, the whole drama is divided into three segments in three time nodes, the first is in 2000, Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Songwen, is still operating a fish stall on Old Factory Street; In the second paragraph, he worshiped his godfather and was with Chen Shuting, becoming the most "powerful" person in Jinghai, and this part is the best-looking; The third paragraph returns to 2021, focusing on defeating Gao Qiqiang's gang and returning to the narrative mode of traditional TV series, coupled with scene deletion and excessive line changes, causing the audience to complain, and on the night of the finale, the Douban score of "Crazy" also fell from 9.1 to 9.0. It can be seen that although the finale of "Crazy" cannot be said to overturn, it really does not make people very satisfied.

But in my opinion, people who think that "Crazy" is bad and give a low score to the TV series after watching the finale should not understand the foreshadowing left by the director, nor can they understand his good intentions.

There was no way to change the lines, and important scenes were not cut

Let's start with deletions and changes. The core of the drama "Crazy", in addition to the theme of sweeping away evil and eliminating evil, is also to present the changes of the times and the changes in the spiritual outlook of the people through a span of up to 20 years, and to present the sense of fate and uncertainty of fate through the two people of An Xin and Gao Qiqiang. That's why there are two scenes before and after the scene of eating dumplings in the detention center, which is embarrassing.

After clarifying the core of these expressions, it will be found that although "Crazy" has many line changes and lip-syncing situations, the overall story line, character line and the delivery of core content have not been affected. I believe that many people are struggling with what was deleted, I have a journalist friend asked the director, and the answer was that a total of 43 episodes were filmed, and finally reduced to 39 episodes, but did not cut important scenes, mainly deleted Chen Shuting's part, because it involved pornography, and Xu Jiang's part, because it was too violent. Therefore, the deleted parts have no effect on the plot.

As for changing the lines, it must be clear to everyone that it is not the director's problem, and it is not easy to see the changed lines without deleting large paragraphs.

Three characters escape punishment

If you don't think about it carefully, you will definitely conclude that all the villains have been arrested, and there are also court trial scenes in episode 39, from Gao Qiqiang to Zhao Lidong have explained their respective sentences.

However, three characters did not receive the punishment they deserved. The first is Cao Chuang, who was originally an "inner ghost" who was bought by Gao Qiqiang, but Li Xiang concealed the truth and maintained Cao Chuang's image. Later, An Xin knew the truth, but at the beginning there was no evidence, and there was no way to give a conclusion, but until the end, all the bad guys were judged, and Cao Chuang still did not have a single explanation, it was likely that the "iron-faced and selfless" An Xin still left a good reputation for his mentor out of human favor. It must be known that Cao Chuang died in the line of duty, and in addition to receiving a large amount of pension, his family can also receive a monthly allowance, and once Cao Chuang is found to have committed a crime, these are gone. Think about it, this setting also makes the slightly symbolized An Xin more like a living person!

The second is the course. This right-hand man around Uncle Tai, Gao Qiqiang has been fighting by all means for so long, she can't be without problems, even if she is not involved in illegal and criminal activities, at least she has a crime of cover-up and is an accomplice! Some people may say that Cheng Cheng is dead! I think she is not dead, because Lao Mo openly stated that he did not kill women, and when Lao Mo was about to die, he said the list of people he had killed one by one, and there was no Cheng Cheng. Therefore, it is likely that Cheng Cheng did indeed leave Jinghai and escaped punishment.

The third is Meng Dehai. He should be the most controversial character in the whole play, and he didn't go to jail at the end, but was just swept to the end and became a grassroots officer. Because this role changed a lot, he finally reported Yang Jian.

But various details show that Meng Dehai should be complicit with Gao Qiqiang and Yang Jian, and the plot before the change must be a fact of illegal crime. And in episode 38, Secretary Wang pointed to Gao Qiqiang and said, "Those small actions behind you and Meng Dehai and Yang Jian, the leader (Zhao Lidong) will not be pursued", which also proves that Meng Dehai has criminal facts. But the changes in lines and characters allowed him to escape punishment.

A foreshadowing is very heartfelt, An Xin and Gao Qiqiang did not win

The finale of "Crazy" Justice finally defeated evil, and An Xin, who did not change his original intention and insisted on it for 20 years, finally brought Gao Qiqiang to justice. But the ending does not have a happy feeling, this is because twenty years of things are right and wrong, and neither An Xin nor Gao Qiqiang has won.

Gao Qiqiang must have lost, walked on the tip of the knife, worked hard for so many years, and was finally sentenced to death, all his property was confiscated, and ended up betraying his relatives, he must regret it, just like Zhang Songwen wrote, if he can go back, he would rather return to the fish stall on Old Factory Street, spend the Spring Festival with his younger siblings, and live a hard but down-to-earth life.

An Xin actually didn't win. Bringing Gao Qiqiang to justice slowly became his obsession, and he paid too much for this goal, not daring to be with Meng Yu for fear of dragging each other down, and did not dare to accept Gao Xiaolan's pursuit for fear of being in the same league as Gao Qiqiang, 20 years alone, his hair was gray. Moreover, the director set up a foreshadowing that few people care about, all the people in the play have a home, and they have given shots, but An Xin does not, he is always running around, even Gao Qiqiang was sentenced, the dust settled, he still lay down in the office to sleep. The director did not arrange the scene in An Xin's home, which is definitely intentional, An Xin is the kind of lone hero who has no relatives, no family, and sees his comrades sacrifice one by one!
