The finale of "Crazy", the rating of the last episode approached 4.0%, like last year's "The World", the opening year gave great pressure to subsequent dramas.
Everyone is wondering which successor drama has the ability to catch such a large ratings in front of the drama king.
According to Tomato Jun's opinion, the "Wind and Rain Send Spring Return" starring Wang Zhiwen, Yu Zhen, Yu Feihong and Shi Zhaoqi that has just started can be a try!
This statement is not a blind confidence in "Sending Spring Home", but a rational conclusion reached after a comprehensive analysis of the theme, story core and cast of the two dramas.
First, "Furious Speed" re-sweeps the black, and "Wind and Rain" focuses on anti-corruption
The eyes of "Crazy" are almost all on the boss Gao Qiqiang played by Zhang Songwen, although there are also several big tigers in the play, but there is not much ink, and it is not like "In the Name of the People", which makes the audience relish the officialdom.
Therefore, "Crazy" focuses the lens more on sweeping black.
However, compared with anti-black dramas, anti-corruption dramas are more difficult to film.
In recent years, there have actually been many anti-black dramas on the screen, such as "Sweeping Black Storm" starring Sun Honglei, "Punishment" starring Li Youbin and Huang Jingyu, and "Trident" starring Dong Yong and Chen Jianbin, all of which are loved by the audience.
In contrast, there are only a handful of anti-corruption TV series, and only one "In the Name of the People" is a relatively heavy official scene.
The reason is that the plot of anti-corruption is more restrained, the scale is more difficult to grasp, and the skills of directors, screenwriters and actors are more tested.
Fortunately, the anti-corruption plot in "Crazy" that failed to talk about it will be made up by "Sending Spring Home".
"Sending Spring Back from the Storm" is also known as: "Secretary of the Discipline Commission" and "Initial Heart".
These two names can be said to show the core of the story of this drama very directly, that is, to tell the audience: I want to talk about officialdom, anti-corruption!
Anti-corruption and anti-corruption are twin flowers, and audiences who like to watch the anti-corruption plot in "Stormy Rush" will definitely be attracted by the anti-corruption plot in "Sending Spring Home".
Second, the plot is high, and the dialogue has deep meaning
No one expected that after the broadcast of "Crazy", the popularity of Gao Qiqiang set by the bad guys would be the highest, but this is also expected.
Because Gao Qiqiang's character in "Crazy" is too full, friendship, family affection, love, the three lines have been unfolded, making the audience feel that he is a living person in reality.
However, Wang Zhiwen's secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Zhao Dasheng played in "Wind and Rain Sends Spring Home" is not bad compared to Gao Qiqiang, he is also a three-line parallel, family, friendship, and love are not falling.
The story begins with a major explosion accident in Yangpu Port, Dongjiang City.
The fire spread throughout the sky, which directly alarmed the number one in Jiangdong City, Yu Zhongjun (played by Yu Zhen), secretary of the municipal party committee.
In order to investigate the cause of the explosion, Yu Zhongjun specially convened an emergency meeting and decided to set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter, and the leader of the team was Zhao Dasheng, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jiangdong City.
The reason why Yu Zhongjun appointed Zhao Dasheng as the leader of this team is not only because he is the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but also because he is the person closest to him in the leadership team.
The two once participated in a self-defense counterattack together, promising each other that if one of them could not return, the survivors would have to take care of each other's parents and relatives.
As a result, Zhao Dasheng disappeared during the war, and although he was rescued by the brothers' company, he lost his memory and did not return to the army at the first time. Yu Zhongjun thought that Zhao Dasheng died on the battlefield and kept the agreement between the two to take care of his wife and children for him.
As a result, when Zhao Dasheng recovered his memory many years later and returned home, Yu Zhongjun had already formed a new family with his wife.
Faced with Yu Zhongjun's approach, Zhao Dasheng could not blame, after all, this was a teammate fulfilling his previous request, he had to put aside the past and continue to be friends with Yu Zhongjun.
Because of the relationship between his ex-wife and son, Zhao Dasheng and Yu Zhongjun have always maintained close contact, and the two families have become a family.
However, when he heard that Yu Zhongjun appointed himself as the leader of the investigation team, Zhao Dasheng was thoughtful.
The investigation went reasonably well at first, but just as it was close to the truth, things turned around.
The investigation site was suddenly damaged by the staff of the Big Sale Group, and just when the investigation team was about to interrogate the person in charge of the Big Sale Group, the leader of the team, Zhao Dasheng, suddenly received a call from Yu Zhongjun.
On the phone, Yu Zhongjun asked Zhao Dasheng to immediately stop the investigation at hand and hand over all the work to the investigation team of the provincial party committee.
At the end of the call, Yu Zhongjun changed his serious official tone and mentioned to Zhao Dasheng as an old friend: This matter has nothing to do with us, so why bother thanklessly.
The words are cryptic, but it means that the big selling group has someone to protect, and it is someone they can't afford to mess with.
It turned out that a certain leader of the provincial party committee and the chairman of the big sale group were related to his uncle and nephew, and there were people at the top of the big sale group.
Faced with Yu Zhongjun's attitude of bowing to power, Zhao Dasheng did not angrily reprimand, he only frowned after receiving the call, and then dialed the subordinate's phone number and asked the investigation team to disband in place.
With just one episode, a lot of information was thrown.
First explained the complicated friendship between Zhao Dasheng and Yu Zhongjun, and then revealed that there was someone behind the big selling group, and then the attitude shown by Zhao Dasheng and Yu Zhongjun when facing power was very intriguing.
In the audience's cognition, the male protagonist who represents justice can't rub sand in his eyes.
Like Hou Liangping in "In the Name of the People" and An Xin in "Crazy", they are all jealous settings.
However, in "Wind and Rain Sends Spring Home", Zhao Dasheng and Yu Zhongjun's performance is more forbearing, and Zhao Dasheng and Yu Zhongjun's performance is more forbearing, and their scheming is deeper, making people unable to see their positions and attitudes for a while.
The reason why the audience loves anti-corruption dramas is actually to love to see the reality between the protagonists, after all, the people who can become a big tiger are not simple-minded people, and it is best not to guess the good and bad people, which is the scene that the audience likes to see.
In this regard, Yu Zhen and Wang Zhiwen's interpretation is too successful, they do not portray stereotypical good guys and bad guys, both seem to have feelings and righteousness, and have a deep city government to deal with some officialdom doorways.
Just the scene between the establishment of the investigation team and the disbandment can make people feel that this drama has a bit of depth.
Third, the cast and "Crazy" have a fight
There are many factors that make "Crazy" successful, and one of the important reasons is that a group of good actors.
The policeman played by Zhang Yi shows the fearlessness of the people's police, Zhang Songwen's villain plays flesh and blood, and Gao Ye's sister-in-law is also full of aura...
These actors add a lot of points to "Crazy".
And the cast of "Sending Spring Home" is also not inferior, coincidentally, the three brightest actors in this show are also two men and one woman.
The first one, of course, is Wang Zhiwen.
In fact, when Tomato Jun saw that the protagonist of this drama was Wang Zhiwen, he felt that the director had found the right person.
Because Wang Zhiwen is a person who is both good and evil.
His role as Guo Xiaopeng in "Black Ice" fully demonstrates what is called the setting of "afraid that bad people have intelligence", this role is the same as Gao Qiqiang, making people feel that hateful people are also pitiful.
The head of the secret service played by Wang Zhiwen in "The Wind" is pure and bad, so bad that people hate it, because it is bad to the extreme, so you will not feel that this character is stereotyped, but will feel particularly outstanding.
In addition to playing bad guys, Wang Zhiwen is also a good hand in playing positive characters, Xia Zhongmin in "National Cadres", Xiao Yihang in "Forgiveness", and Zhang Zhongping in "Celadon" are all good old people that everyone likes.
Therefore, Wang Zhiwen to play the anti-corruption drama is itself a puzzle set by the director for the audience - is this secretary of the discipline commission positive or negative?
It's really hard to guess.
Coupled with Yu Zhen, this question is even more difficult.
Many people's impression of Zhen is that he has participated in many anti-Japanese dramas, and almost all of them are positive images.
So is Yu Zhen still playing a good guy this time?
There is a rivalry between him and Wang Zhiwen in the play, where Yu Zhongjun calls Zhao Dasheng to his study, lets him see his newly discovered ancient books, and says that if Zhao Dasheng likes it, he can give it to him at the original price.
Zhao Dasheng is also an antique fan and immediately expressed his love. As a result, Yu Zhongjun quoted a price, 50,000, and asked Zhao Dasheng to invoice him.
The words came to this, but Zhao Dasheng suddenly said: Just kidding, I quit early.
In just a few words, the two actors turned into swords with words and facial expressions, and competed with each other to test each other.
The most interesting thing is that Yu Zhongjun used the invoice to prove that he was a good official who abided by the rules and did things in a good manner.
And Zhao Dasheng expressed with a "quit" that he was a Qing official who could not afford to play 50,000.
Although both of them smiled, they had been stabbing each other for a while in private, so that the audience could not tell who was testing whom.
This is the fun of optimistic actors, evenly matched, between Bozhong.
After the two men finished talking, let's talk about one woman, which is Yu Feihong.
Gao Ye came out of the circle with the cold Chen Shuting in "Crazy", and Yu Feihong was impressed by his gentle personality.
Xu Ying, played by Yu Feihong, is actually in an embarrassing situation, because her husband Zhao Dasheng and his ex-wife and Yu Zhongjun still maintain close contact.
But Xu Ying never showed doubts about her husband, but wholeheartedly supported Zhao Dasheng.
If Gao Ye is the supreme sass, then Yu Feihong is the supreme beauty.
In addition, this drama also has Chen Long, Shi Zhaoqi, Ma Shuliang, Wu Gang and other powerful actors, watching their feeling of drama is also a "mad race".
Based on the above points, "Wind and Rain Send Spring Home" and "Crazy" can be said to have many similarities, but they are not the same.
Both have a very good cast and the same fascinating storyline, but the former is more inclined to the description of officialdom, focusing on the psychological portrayal of the characters, which is more intriguing, and the latter is more straightforward, bringing people to feel the danger and difficulty of sweeping black.
The two complement each other and are mutually reinforcing.
If you like "Crazy", then you must not miss this "Spring Return".
