Online question: What kind of joke will be made if an arithmetic genius comparable to AI is thrown into the ancient county to "check the accounts"?
It's not Sven who is messing around, there really is such a thing! iQiyi's just-launched "Daming Silk Case under the Microscope" tells you such a story.
1. Arithmetic AI online audit
Straight balls keep going
Shuai Jiamo, played by Zhang Ruoyun, known as "arithmetic nerd", is very proficient in arithmetic and has excellent error correction ability, which is simply a walking AI.
The public court knew that the county was trying a loan case, and as soon as the lawyer finished saying, "Tattoo silver 10 taels, nine out of thirteen, now it is time to repay 18 27 cents and 2 cents", Xiaoshuai began to rush to answer: the correct answer should be 16 29 dollars.
His anti-heavenly arithmetic skills are used in casinos to win every bet. After winning more years of being caught by the casino owner, the little marshal who "voluntarily worked" can also settle the accounts that others can't calculate in one night, and by the way, he found a big bug on the local field deed.
And the handsome family is silent about personal accidents, and he is completely a good player for playing straight balls. After discovering that the people in Renhua County had overpaid the silk tax, they focused on correcting their mistakes.
The household in Renhua County played a ball with him and asked him to go to Jin'an Mansion to file a complaint, and all the words hinted at him not to be nosy. But listen to our little handsome ears: Zila Zila go to Jin'an Fu Zila.
Zhixian wanted to delay his progress, madly hinting that "this matter is not urgent, it can be done in half a year", and Xiaoshuai backhanded and said that he could do it in five days.
The prefect secretly told him to open the shelves of several other counties to check together, reminding him not to tell himself, Xiaoshuai: I understand, just say that you don't let me say it.
What is human affection? What is the pursuit of benefits and avoidance of disadvantages? Shuai Jiamo didn't know anything, and every time he appeared, he could make a lot of oolongs.
2. Tax audit to sue each pregnant ghost
800 heart eyes per capita
Unlike Xiaoshuai, who only has numbers and right and wrong in his head, all the people in the play have their own calculations, and there are more than 800 hearts and eyes per capita.
Feng Baoyu (played by Fei Qiming), as the little hair of Shuai Jiamo, chose to sue everywhere with Xiaoshuai, naturally because he lectured on morality and cherished the friendship between the two.
But Baoyu's sister Feng Biyu (played by Qi Wei) is shrewd by nature, and the reason why she is willing to help Shuai Jiamo is because she wants her younger brother to follow Xiaoshuai and gain a good reputation and gain fame by helping the county reduce endowments.
She even paid for the "water army" to find Mr. Shu and the peddler's pawn to help the two of them build up power. Mr. Storyteller's customized version of "Rainbow Fart" for Feng Baoyu was exchanged for his sister's banknote ability.
The new prefect Huang Ningdao (played by Gao Yalin) seems to be a good official, who arrives early to observe the people's feelings, does not put up official shelves before and after people, and attaches importance to the "tax omission" mentioned by Shuai Jiamo... The piles and piles seem to reveal that Huang Zhifu is a reliable official.
But from Huang Zhifu's point of view, the subordinate county officials are shrewd in their minds, and the relationship between the eight counties is close, if he wants to "take office with three fires for new officials", the silk tax discovered by Shuai Jiamo is undoubtedly the best fuse. Only by letting Shuai Jiamo poke out this huge omission can he tear a hole in the iron barrel-like Jin'an Mansion, and then hold power and political achievements in his hands.
The "County Official Heavenly Group" represented by Fang Zhi County has its own careful thinking, and Fang Maozhen (played by Hou Yansong) of Renhua County, where Shuai Jiamo is located, is known as the "Fang Stone Statue". He is proficient in the study of Huang Lao, pursues the rule of doing nothing, opens his mouth and closes his mouth to "trouble, real trouble", thinks about peace with mud every day, more is better than less.
When Shuai Jiamo just discovered the tax omission, Fang Zhi County wanted to press this matter, don't let the prefect know. Later, seeing that he couldn't hide it, he wanted to escape the problem by "dragging words". Even if he had to go to court, he still thought about how to calm the people.
The balance between the eight counties of Jin'an Prefecture has been maintained for many years, and although it is said that Renhua County has paid more taxes and silver, Fang Zhi County does not want to make a big deal out of it, let alone disrupt the long-term balance. As vested interests, the other counties are even more offensive and defensive, and no one wants to harm the interests of their own rule.
Wancheng County Master Book Arbitrary (played by Qian Yi) makes Sven's perception more complicated, if from Shuai Jiamo's point of view, Ren Master Book relies on the old and sells the old, pretending to be sick and fainting at the critical moment of the confrontation account, he can rely on this faint to make Shuai Jiamo and Huang Zhifu passive.
But under the sophisticated and smooth behavior, Ren Zheng is indeed a good official. The people of Wancheng County are in hardship and can no longer withstand the tax levy, and the chief bookkeeper who pedals a pair of old boots all year round is their last line of defense.
Cheng Renqing (played by Wang Yang), the lawyer who fought against the Shuai family several times in the first few episodes, is also a rather complex and multifaceted character.
As soon as he appeared, he helped the casino owner win the lawsuit, making Shuai Jiamo and the Feng family sisters and brothers suffer a secret loss. More subtly, according to the diagram, he dug up the old story of the death of Shuai Jiamo's parents, and smeared his so-called "tax omission" as nothing more than personal retaliation.
Cheng Renqing, on the surface, everything he does is "take money to do things", and earn himself some litigation money under the banner of justice. But think deeply, whether it is to speak for the casino owner or convict Shuai Jiamo, Cheng Renqing's actions are under the orders of Fan Yuan (Wu Gang).
"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want", Cheng Renqing's emotion in the sedan gave Sven a glimpse of his heart. Saying that Cheng Renqing stands for money, I think the pattern is still small, he is a typical pretend to be confused, and wants to rely on the gentry class to have a good future.
In just a few episodes, the plot information is huge, and the characters who appear have their own personalities, full and vivid and multi-faceted. There are no perfect good people and no face-painted villains, and everyone has different intentions because of their different positions. One by one, the vivid characters together form the group portraits of the characters in the play.
The conflict of interest caused by the silk tax slowly unfolds on their bodies, coupled with the tight rhythm of the plot, allowing the audience to feel the game of people's hearts across the screen and time and space.
3. All members of the acting school
The opponent scene is full of highlights
To be able to make everyone so addicted, in addition to the plot setting with a feeling, it also depends to a large extent on the lineup of all the actors of this drama. The highlight moments of their respective contributions in the play are indeed worth savoring.
As a "nerd", when Shuai Jiamo is immersed in the world of mathematics, he only has "arithmetic" in his head. Zhang Ruoyun will subconsciously gnaw his fingers when thinking, this state is like a very small baby, and Shuai Jiamo is stupid in the eyes of others, but he is obsessed with mathematics, why is it not a return to basics?
In Shuaijiamao's heart, mathematics is the most honest thing in the world, and he never lies. The scene of Xiaoshuai hitting the board, Zhang Ruoyun also handled it very well, the moment the board fell, he clenched his fists, although it hurt, but his eyes were still clear and firm.
Everyone knows that he is obsessed with mathematics, but few people can tell whether under his resolute eyes and twitching eyelids is nervous or excited, stubborn or not angry.
In addition, he still did not give up calculus when he was wrongfully imprisoned, and there was light in his eyes when he talked about his love for arithmetic. He likened the correlation between numbers to the stars in the sky, believing that if he mastered the laws in them, "I can look up to the heavens and the earth, and seek up and down, which is the way I seek."
This impassioned speech "burned" to the point that many inmates applauded him, which shows how sincere Shuai Jiamo is in mathematics. And Zhang Ruoyun not only interpreted this naked heart, but also injected a strong sense of suspense into the character.
Those pictures that flashed back to his childhood from time to time, the "tax omission" of 3,530 taels was not only his father's last words, but also the key number that was silently carved on the wall by the handsome family. Coupled with his sudden fainting when the old things were made public, and the corners of his mouth secretly hooked when he achieved his wishes, people can't help but wonder, is Shuai Jiamo really stupid or fake?
Although Feng Baoyu, played by Fei Qiming, is delicate, he will not hesitate to stand on his brother's side when it comes to Shuai Jiamo. When Shuai Jiamo was detained, he ignored the previous festival with Cheng Renqing, pulled down his face to stop the palanquin, and even knelt down to ask Cheng Renqing for help.
The anxiety of running wildly all the way, the pleading of kneeling, the determination to tear up the confession without saying a word... Fei Qiming interpreted the righteousness and firmness in Feng Baoyu quite well, and the audience also got this fairy friendship.
If the fairy friendship between Shuai Jiamo and Feng Baoyu is fascinating, then Cheng Renqing and Shuai Jiamo are chess opponents. Obviously, the two stand in different positions, but when watching them play, they will always feel that the two are also enemies and friends, and cherish each other.
Cheng Renqing, played by Wang Yang, is proficient in the law, he is aggressive with his employer, aggressive with his opponent, and even more so when facing off in court. The three-pronged approach of stating the law, clever words and arguing, and manipulating public opinion is not only Wang Yang himself comparable to the line output machine, but also makes the audience sigh across the screen, I am afraid that there is no lawsuit that he can't win in this play, right?
Watching the confrontation between Cheng Renqing and Shuai Jiamo, you can feel the conflict and tension between the two, this is a duel between high emotional intelligence and high IQ, the argument of the mouth meets the abacus, just the rivalry between them is worth watching repeatedly.
There is also Wu Gang, who is currently not too many scenes, but every appearance makes people feel full of pressure, and he plays Fan Lao who is not angry and self-threatening, and his eyes are full of oppression. It seems that he wrapped a book cover casually, and every sentence he said during the period is worth savoring, even if he is as smart as Cheng Renqing, it is difficult to guess his voiceover.
Sven really recommends that you don't drive double speed when chasing dramas! Because not only is the plot itself worthy of the audience to taste repeatedly with a microscope, but the lineup of all the acting skills makes each character's eyes, lines, and body movements meticulous, full of scenes not to be missed.
4. Praise small essays brush the screen
Word-of-mouth drama booking
Although the show has only 14 episodes in total, and it has only been a few days since Thursday night aired, Sven has already received a lot of praise on the homepage of the social platform.
Some people were impressed by the actor's acting skills, thinking that the role of Shuai Jiamo, as a mathematical genius, was incompatible with this human fireworks, and Zhang Ruoyun performed this "obsessive" and "blunt".
Some people taste the sense of science fiction from the character of Shuai Jiamo, saying that he is like a newly awakened AI, understanding that everything in the world is just numbers, but he can't tell it to others, and no one can empathize with him.
There are also many netizens who post to analyze the inner little nine nine of the people in the play, and the degree of detail is comparable to reading comprehension. A history-savvy viewer on Douban also called this drama an "academic TV series", explaining the tax system and criminal law in the middle and late Ming Dynasty very thoroughly, and suggested that writers who write "Ming Wear" come to see it.
In Sven's opinion, everyone's praise is not exaggerated, they are all tap water with true feelings, and the small composition is written as a sincerity, but I have more experience of the play to share with you.
In addition to the aforementioned plot, character group portraits and all the acting skills, the aesthetics of this drama must also be well praised.
There are many scenes of official scenes in "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope", and the color palette of this part is generally a gray tone with low saturation, presenting a simple and clean picture, full of texture, very thick with historical dramas.
When the camera turns to the countryside and the city, the picture becomes light and full of fireworks. The aesthetic charm of Hui-style architecture and the brilliance of traditional culture are displayed one by one in the play, and the various brilliance of Daming is slowly unveiled in front of the audience.
The various details presented in the play are also very exquisite. Many marks unique to the Ming Dynasty flashed in front of the camera, the various official uniforms of officials, the reproduction of famous fonts, the white dragon of the people begging for rain, the male protagonist running in straw shoes, and the storyteller's "Journey to the West" is talking about Xingtou... The thick history seems to come alive in the play, and it is waved to the audience after a long time.
And the intention and energy conveyed by "The Silk Case of Daming under the Microscope" are also very unusual. The handsome family who sued all the way was silent but Shengdou Xiaomin, he did not have a hanging background, nor did he have a big tree to lean on, gritting his teeth and walking through the complicated and redundant Daming officialdom, wanting to uncover the truth of taxation with his own strength.
Compared with the uneven battle of the nobles of Wang Sun, the common people actually know better the heavy burden of taxes, and this kind of justice and mutual help from a humble origin is really full of strength and brilliance.
Waves of praise on the Internet have come and gone, and the popularity of the drama has also risen with word of mouth. At present, the popularity of "Daming's Silk Case under the Microscope" on iQiyi's station has reached 8720, which shows how many viewers are catching up with Sven like Sven.
After quickly chasing the current update, even the next episode trailer is almost covered by me.
In the latest plot, Shuai Jiamo and Feng Baoyu went to the provincial capital to file a complaint, but they were assassinated by Fan Yuan, what kind of interests are entangled behind the silk tax, worthy of the squire boss to care for the lives of others?
Cheng Renqing, who came to obstruct the two on the order of Fan Lao, accidentally fell into the water, but was saved by the Shuai family. This iron-mouthed lawyer is a genius of arithmetic, can they put aside their past suspicions and join hands to find out the truth?
The duo found Liu Patrol to investigate and pay taxes, and they were finally able to enter the Racket Pavilion in Lanxi County to check, but not only the information they needed was burned, but Shuai Jiamo and Feng Baoyu were assassinated in the middle of the night, where should they start the next investigation?
As the plot progresses, the fog of the case gradually lifts, and the 3,530-person silk tax that Renhua County has added out of thin air every year is not only the main point of competition for the interests of all parties in the play, but also the truth about the death of Shuai Jiamo's parents in the sea of fire.
At present, not only Shuai Jiamo and Feng Baoyu are obsessed with this matter, but also many viewers are using their brains outside the play, chasing the drama while not forgetting to help them find clues.
Let's look forward to the next plot progress, and follow the protagonist group to uncover the mystery that has been buried for many years~
