From "Crazy" to "Daming under the Microscope", the routines are pervasive, and idealism is too difficult

Film and television are endless, and dramas are chasing non-stop.

Last time I talked about the tragic and happy dispute between the finale of "Daming under the Microscope", and this time I look at the similarities between the story that happened more than 400 years ago and the blockbuster drama "Crazy" at the beginning of the year.

The two works are superficially very different.

They are released in different schedules, the story takes place in different eras, the theme and plot focus are also different, but they all have the concept of "reverse investigation", one is to reverse the investigation of 20 years of anti-gang crime and evil, the other is to reverse the investigation of a hundred years of tax doubts.

Behind the "reverse investigation", it all stems from a criminal group that has been unable to break through for a long time or no one dares to expose, so some viewers ridicule "Daming under the microscope" as an ancient version of "reverse investigation and sweep away".

But carefully analyze the characteristics of the criminal groups of the two dramas and the way of resistance of ordinary people, you will find that their similarities are not only "backward check", but also the routines and social complexities that apply both ancient and modern.

The chips of the continuation of evil, supported by a complete chain of interests.

"Crazy" has a Jinghai unspeakable "strong group", which has dominated the local area for many years, and the oppressed have bitter words, and the "Daming under the Microscope" cannot be said to be a "squire group", making its own profits and paying taxes to the people.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

No matter what the era, there are always people who are motivated by profit due to various problems, and powerful criminal groups often have a common approach to how to extract benefits from the people "safely and efficiently".

The squire group in "Daming" is difficult to shake because the people involved in this group are intertwined, complex and caused, and involve the whole body, which is vividly shown in the repeated setbacks of the silk case.

From the beginning of the Shuaijia's silent complaint, the squire group issued "cards" one by one, first fearing or needing the support of the squire group, the county orders and masters besieged in an attempt to stifle the problem at the beginning.

Then Cheng Renqing, a "thug" who worked for the squire group in the early days, came forward and cooperated with all officials to implement an all-round crushing of Shuai Jiamo's feelings, reason, and laws, so that Shuai Jiamo and Feng Baoyu had to go to the provincial capital to move rescue troops to support.

However, you moved a Liu Inspector, and the Squire Group also moved a Ma Wencai, if it were not for the dramatic appeal of film and television dramas, the Squire Group could actually play more.

There are small subordinates at the bottom, petty officials in the public hall, "thugs" in the people, and "adults" in the dynasty.

Why can Fan Yuan, a retired official from Lanxi County, weave such a huge network of interests? The methods are simple and complex, and people can often see their routines, but it is difficult to escape these routines.

The squire group represented by Fan Yuan and his interest network are a closed loop, scavenging the people's fat and people's ointment from the people, taking out a profit to run schools and do charity, gaining a good reputation, and at the same time reserve a steady stream of "protective umbrellas".

Of course, the students we provide for must repay us?

If it is an official transferred from abroad, can he be left alone? No, the inherent pattern of the squire group is already there, and officials from other places or officials who do not want to tie up their interests will be constrained.

County Commander Mao Panfeng and Ren Zhu Bo are typical representatives.

Mao Panfeng was initially reluctant to be driven by Fan Yuan, but the squire group had already occupied the lifeblood of the local economy, and with the people's taxes and the support of the imperial court, it was difficult for him to make any breakthroughs in the local area.

What to do about it? Accept Fan Yuan's "sponsorship" to build bridges and roads to save political achievements and solve people's problems, but if you take people's "sponsorship", you have to use other things to pay back, and this other thing is to act as an umbrella.

The ruler who is dedicated to the people is thin, and he has two sleeves in his sleeves until death, but he is strictly one of the umbrellas of the squire group, and he is the silent majority, because he is afraid of the interest network of the squire group, dare not break it, and choose to compromise for survival.

With more umbrellas, the squire group is more brazen, looting more interests, and then using the interests to cultivate more umbrellas, so as to lure or make people who did not want to join in the filth succumb.

This set of roads circulates endlessly, the interest network is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more solid, is the routine very familiar?

Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy" once gave Xu Zhong and Ji Ze a sloppy look, letting them see how powerful their "empire" background was, and took them to refer to nursing homes and schools specially used to break through the weaknesses of cadre groups.

Good school resources correspond to the headaches of young cadres' families, and good nursing homes can quietly get through the old cadres who are eager to be paid attention to after retirement, and grasp both the authority of the incumbent and the contacts of the abdicated.

Once these people enjoy the convenience of the derivative projects of Qiangsheng Group for family or personal appeals, they owe Gao Qiqiang a favor, and when Qiangsheng Group needs help, they are a potential umbrella.

Corroding certain groups with interests - relying on umbrellas to grab profits - and then corrupting new groups with interests - originally down-to-earth people are tempted by repression - new umbrellas are formed - and the cycle continues.

An evil person is not difficult to deal with, but a group of evil people involved in each other is difficult to break, which is also the key to the cases involved in the two dramas have become "unspeakable" for many years, and it is not a villain BOSS that is difficult to fight, but a villain group.

The dark night is too thick, and the dawn of justice is all with a bit of "idealism".

The routines of the villain group are similar, and the adherence of the decent has similarities, whether it is An Xin of "Crazy" or the handsome Jiamo of "Daming", they are actually idealistic.

They are pure, persistent, abide by the rules of right and wrong, black and white bottom line.

If you choose to bow your head in the face of a huge web of interests, it can only become a new spider silk, make this web more solid, and if you want to break this web of sin, you always need someone to face the difficulties and not forget the original intention.

An Xin is like this, and so is Shuai Jiamo, one adheres to the original intention of the people's police, and the other insists on the essence of right and wrong in arithmetic.

Is it true that the century-long tax mistakes of "Daming" have never been discovered? Obviously not, in the known plot, Shuai Jiamo's father found out, and then, he became a "sinner" who committed suicide.

Although it is difficult to verify, it is not without traces, and the handsome father and son became discoverers, not because they were geniuses, but because they all persistently published this matter and tried to correct their mistakes.

Others have chosen to be the silent majority, or the wave of complicity.

Some of them are because of fame and fortune, such as Song Ren, who was an executioner for Fan Yuan for the future; Some are lazy administrations, such as Fang County Order; Others, it is timidity and paralysis, such as the boss Bo, hoping to solve the problem through compromise.

Everyone's considerations are different, or in other words, everyone's weaknesses are different, and the villain group has given bait to their weaknesses, Yu Song Ren is a name, Yu Ren Bo is a common people, and Yu Fang County Ling is intimidation.

After hundreds of years of modern times, this trick has endured.

There are three corrupted characters in "Crazy" that surprise the audience, they are Cao Chuang, Lu Han, and Yang Jian, each of whom was once a righteous hero, but eventually became an umbrella.

Yang Jian for fame and fortune, Cao Chuang for the future, Lu Han is wrapped up by the atmosphere to give up the bottom line, once selfishness prevails, he will become a pawn of the villain, only those who stick to their original intention and return to the problem itself can really break the game.

However, it is easy and difficult to become such a person.

The difficulty lies in the fact that most people start from the beginning, in fact, they are the defenders of the original intention, the difficulty is that people have weaknesses, society also has too many complex aspects, sometimes want to be a pure person, it is not simple.

For example, Cheng Renqing, a teenager who was once enthusiastic in the academy, became a "lawyer" who only recognized money under the repeated suppression of the powerful, and there was a handsome family in the play to let him regain his original intention, and outside the play, he is likely to become Gao Qiqiang's second.

Perhaps it is precisely because they know that purity is too difficult, "Crazy" and "Daming" both adopt "idealistic" settings when creating decent characters, and An Xin and Shuai Jiamo are both extremely pure and less soft people.

They are all orphans, they all have a tendon in character, and they have no fame and fortune to pursue... Is it pure simplicity from family to individual to withstand the sugar-coated shells or intimidation of villain groups?

Not necessarily, everyone's persistence and ability are still the most critical, but the "idealistic" color of An Xin and Shuai Jiamo also indirectly highlights how difficult it is to stick to the original intention under the dark clouds.

To solve the problem at its root, we need to make "idealism" universal.

This is something that "Daming" can't do, but the normalization of "Crazy" may make the dark clouds lose the dense space, and when the evil loses the nourishment and feeding space of the interest network, the sunshine can have beauty.
