Four years ago, the TV series "The Name of the People" written by Zhou Mason was broadcast and became a phenomenon-level hit. Recently, the realistic TV series "Breakout", written by Zhou Meisen and starring Jin Dong, Yan Ni and Huang Zhizhong, landed on the Oriental Theater of Oriental Satellite TV, and won 21 hot searches on the first day of broadcasting with only one episode. Many viewers said that although only a few episodes have been broadcast, the Chinese-style "political and economic drama" around Jin Dong, Yan Ni and Huang Zhizhong's "brothers and sisters of the Zhongfu Group" has begun.
Show the difficulties of state-owned enterprises in the "breakthrough" of reform
Like "In the Name of the People", Zhou Meisen still arranged the story of the TV series "Breakout" in Jingzhou this time, with the Jingzhou Zhongfu Group as the background, and truly showed the difficulties encountered by state-owned enterprises in the reform breakthrough, such as the huge deficit of 1.5 billion yuan of Zhongfu Group, the collapse of shantytowns, and the energy permeability accident in Jingzhou.
"Breakthrough" uses the reform of state-owned enterprises to adapt to the changes of the times and carries a major topic related to the national plan of people's livelihood. At the narrative level, "Breakout" integrates the development history of Zhongfu Group with the current difficulties of reform, and presents multiple circles of characters such as corporate employees, newspaper reporters and communist party members in parallel and intersecting narratives in the same time and space. From the perspective of the presentation of the script, "Breakout" shows the color spectrum of human nature, and the characters with different identities and different positions in the play have different values in the context of the same era: some people give in and some people insist, and some people compromise and some people take responsibility.
Zhou Mason, who came out of the mine, wanted to write "Breakout" most.
Screenwriter Zhou Meisen was assigned to the Xuzhou Mining Bureau Hanqiao Coal Mine as a miner after graduating from high school in 1974, Zhou Meisen said in a previous interview that "Breakout" as a work he most wanted to write, the script after three years of polishing, back and forth six times, the modification of more than 1,000 places.
Zhou Mason has worked all kinds of work in the mine, and the experience of the protagonist of "Breakout" when he was young is what he once experienced. Zhou Meisen said that after decades of time, he found that many children who came out of the mine gradually lost themselves after becoming leaders, which was his original intention of writing "Breakout", "I want to write a 'Qingming on the River' style work, in this play, there are state-owned enterprises, there are small and medium-sized private enterprises, there are ordinary people... As far as possible, in such a work on the topic of property, we must present all levels of the people's existence. ”
At the same time, he also said that although "Breakout" and "In the Name of the People" are inseparable from various official roles, they are essentially different, "the latter is concerned with political ecology, and the former is written about economic ecology." ”
In addition, he is pleased that "Breakout" is very difficult, the amount of lines is very large, but everyone is doing addition, not subtraction, and every actor has worked hard for this play. He also specifically mentioned that "Breakout" is not a play that wins by handling cases, "but its multi-faceted, complex, and three-dimensional presentation of the world is far more than "In the Name of the People" in my opinion." ”
This time Jin Dong is no longer so "holding"
Judging from the episodes that have been broadcast, it is still in the stage of story preparation. In the play, qi Ben'an (played by Jin Dong), Lin Manjiang (played by Huang Zhizhong) and Shi Hongxing (played by Yan Ni) are all orphans of the mining disaster, they come from different families, they are brought up by the organization arranged by the role played by Xi Meijuan, and when they grow up, their brothers and sisters each embark on a leadership position in a state-owned enterprise.
Qi Ben'an has always been the role of the "millennium old man" in family and work, and he has always been satisfied with the status quo, and he has suddenly risen to "a leader", which makes Qi Ben'an arouse the desire to struggle in his heart. In the play, he has to face intricate contradictions and relationships, and the complexity and three-dimensional sense that the characters should have been presented. Many netizens said that this time Jin Dong has changed, and he is not so upright.
In addition, Huang Zhizhong plays Lin Manjiang, it is worth mentioning that Huang Zhizhong played Yuan Longping in the hit drama "Meritorious Service", this conversion, the difference between the two roles is very large. Yan Ni also contributed a very personal performance to the series, and the Shi Hongxing she played was a new and agile image of a state-owned enterprise executive.
In addition to Chen Xiao, Qin Lan, Geng Le, Tian Lei, Huang Pinyuan, Pan Zhilin and other starring actors, as well as the old drama bones of the "Familiar Face of Chinese Opera" and the new generation of powerful actors, including Xi Meijuan, Wang Jingchun, Gao Xin, Han Tongsheng, Gao Ming, Hou Minghao, etc., have added many highlights to the excitement of the plot.
