"I'm older"
Have you heard this phrase?
From whose mouth did you hear this?
Is it Mom and Dad?
Or grandparents?
Or someone else?
Generally, this sentence also has a subtext, that is, people are old, and many things can no longer be done. Memory is not as good as that of young people, physical strength is different from before, sleep less, get up early, but it is easier to be sleepy during the day, run two steps to breathe, carry heavy objects and easy to dodge the waist, if you fall, the consequences are even more unimaginable.
And I, recently heard this sentence, in a high-scoring suspense drama, Fan Wei, Qin Hao, Chen Minghao starring in "The Long Season", this drama Douban 9.0 points, after the start of the broadcast was well received. The 3 protagonists in the play are 3 elderly people, and a chance accident turns over the old case.
This case is a hurdle that the three people can't get through, they want to find out the truth again, they want to give an explanation to the deceased.
"The Long Season" has aired 6 episodes, and I watched 6 episodes. Not to mention how suspenseful the plot in the play is, the realistic style of this drama alone is shocking enough.
When chasing the drama, watching the 3 old men solve the case and chase the murderer, laughing and scolding and constantly tossing, I cry for a while, laugh for a while, there is a heartfelt smile, and there is also a sadness of the passing of the years!
Next, instead of talking about who is the "real murderer", let's talk about the realistic details in "The Long Season"!
1: Gong Biao (played by Qin Hao)
Gong Biao, you are really Biao!
People who dare to "Biao" in front of our "Fan Debiao" are definitely not ordinary.
Qin Hao, who played Gong Biao in the play, when he was young, was a lover, all kinds of prodding, fell in love with Wang Xiang's little sister at first sight, and the two eventually came together. After getting older, following his brother-in-law Wang Xiangming, the two drove a taxi together, in two shifts!
In the play, Qin Hao is not only holding a big beer belly. There is a whole circle of fat on his face and neck, if it were not known in advance that he was the starring actor. I don't think most viewers recognize it at all. Of course, such body types abound in real life.
However, what is even more expressive is that Qin Hao's pace of walking is also shaking, and the essence of the fat man can be regarded as being mastered by him.
In the first few episodes of "The Long Season", Gong Biao can be said to bring the most jokes. At the beginning of the series, he bought a car, thinking that he had taken advantage of a big bargain, but he did not expect to be pitted. And he not only lost money, his car was also set by others, which generated a lot of laughter.
However, Gong Biao also has his own helpless side. He hasn't made any money for many years, and the money to buy a car is still secretly transferred from his daughter-in-law's passbook. And just wanted to do something, but was pitted by others.
He looked dashing on the surface, but in fact, he was a little helpless. When I came home after a busy day, I wanted to drink a beer, but I had to get an insulin shot first. I want to watch TV, but my wife is still working at home, and I think he is noisy.
He raised pigeons as a hobby, but the neighbors were always dissatisfied with him, and they quarreled with others for this matter. Wang Xiang asked him to look for the murderer of the deck car, and said that he would squat at night. But as he got older, his spirit could no longer be exhausted. After a while, he fell asleep.
If you want to squint for a while, you can't sleep well in the car, and you are uncomfortable sitting and you can only pick and leave.
Real, Gong Biao, played by Qin Hao, is like my neighbors, relatives, passers-by, and elders.
In short, it is still that saying, people are old!
2: Wang Xiang (played by Fan Wei)
In the play, Fan Wei plays Wang Xiang, unlike Qin Hao, Fan Wei plays Wang Xiang is not fat, but a little lean. However, he grew old in another detail. Not to mention the wrinkles and age spots on the face, the whole person's hair has turned gray, and he has shed a little old man.
Gong Biao's problem is that he is fat and has diabetes. Wang Xiang is mentally incompetent, easy to get sleepy, and Wang Xiang also has physical problems.
He squatted with Gong Biao and Ma Desheng, and everyone else basically didn't play trumpets much, he was once in a while, and it was very long.
Needless to say, this may be Wang Xiang's problem of driving all year round, or it may be a manifestation of his declining physical function as he ages.
Although, when watching the drama, we treat Wang Xiang's problem as a joke. However, if you think about it, there is also a sense of helplessness. Wang Xiang should be the oldest of the protagonist trio, and "people are old" is also his mantra.
Of course, aging is not the most sentimental thing for the editor. Rather, the practical problems encountered by Wang Xiang.
Yes, Wang Xiang has a son who is excellent in learning, but his other son, Wang Yang, and his wife have also passed away. With regret, with loneliness, with guilt for his son, after so many years, the bitterness of it, only he knows it.
At night, he made a table of dishes, drank alcohol alone, and the scene of his son in his dream was full of sadness.
However, there are so many unsatisfactory things that Wang Xiang still has to open a rental every day. You know, Ma Desheng, who is younger than him, has retired and enjoys blessings.
Of course, the reason why he did this may be to earn more pension money while he still has some strength, or he may save some tuition for his son's schooling.
But in the end, at the age when he should be blessed, he still has ties in his heart, and there are regrets in the past.
Every time I think about it, I feel even more sad.
People are old, they can't do it!
People are old, and there are regrets!
Wang Xiang's state is a realistic life!
3: Ma Desheng (played by Chen Minghao)
Chen Minghao plays retired policeman Ma Desheng in the play, who was the sponsor of the case that year. Compared with Gong Biao and Wang Xiang, his retirement life after old age seems to be quite comfortable, dancing Latin and enjoying retirement life.
But, if you think about it, Ma Desheng's life doesn't seem to be as comfortable as it seems. Why does Ma Desheng have a dog? Why not dare to leave your dog at home overnight? Is it that none of his relatives are around?
When Ma Desheng was dancing, he was brushed down and said that others chose it because his daughter sponsored several sound equipment. So, where are his relatives, his children. Gong Biao still has a wife, and can provoke others, Wang Xiang also has a son, and he also has a good relationship, so what about Ma Desheng?
He didn't say the specific situation, and it wasn't shown in the play, but he shouldn't be around, which is also a kind of realism.
He performs squatting points, which are inseparable from puppies, and should be the only companionship.
4: Xing San'er (played by Yang Yiwei)
In addition to the above 3 protagonists, it reflects the realistic side of the play. When they were investigating the case, the old opponent they met, the old friend San'er, was also very realistic. Moreover, when he appeared, it was quite embarrassing.
At that time, Wang Xiang pulled Gong Biao and Ma Desheng to squat, and just happened to squat to Xing San'er again, this time they found solid evidence in his arms. However, just when the two sides clashed and pulled clothes, a heart-wrenching scene appeared.
Gong Biao originally thought that what Xing San'er forcibly covered was evidence, but he didn't expect that he pulled it hard and pulled out the urine bag inserted on his body. As soon as this scene came out, not to mention that the third child cried, I was watching the TV series, and I was also shocked.
It's an indescribable awkwardness, a heart-wrenching pain.
Xing San'er had uremia and had to be dialyzed three times a week, even if he was a person who had done evil, at this age, he had this disease. As he himself said, make do with life, it doesn't matter what the treatment is.
To be honest, this drama is too realistic, so realistic that I can't bear to watch it. Don't look at the third child, it seems very optimistic, he looks quite open, and he makes do with life. But if you think about it, what if he is not optimistic?
Is there a family behind him? He was also the security captain of Huagang Steel. Now at this age, a little old man has opened a music. He also has to do business and earn dialysis money, with his physical strength, this physical condition, what can he do?
Xing San'er may deserve it, but it is also embarrassing!
5: Say more
For this "Long Season", this drama was well received after it was broadcast, and harsh Douban netizens gave a high score of 9.0. This score is definitely not low, you must know that the suspense drama "Hidden Corner" many years ago was only 8.8 points.
However, even so, many viewers still feedback to me that the plot of this drama is slow and not exciting enough!
For this, I want to say, have you seen the name of the show "The Long Season"? As soon as the "long" in the title of the play comes out, in fact, everyone should probably know what the main style of this drama is.
In my opinion, "The Long Season" is more like a companionship suspense drama, the length of time is lengthened, the time is slow, it feels similar to the real timeline, and the long and entangled present and past are what this show wants to express.
Moreover, if you take a step back, as the editor said earlier. The protagonists of this drama are 3 elderly people, and the pace and thoughts of the elderly are already slow. In the play, even if they squat, they can't carry a night. If they want to chase the murderer on foot, it is basically impossible.
How can the pace of the plot be fast if such characters chase the murderer?
If you are used to the fast-paced viewing habit, then I suggest you stop, slowly feel the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play, and slowly watch the fireworks in the play! I'm sure that once you watch it, you'll enjoy the show even more.
At the end of the article, attach a calendar of drama chasing, for reference only!
At the end of the article, I recommend this drama to everyone again, audiences who have not watched it can try it, after watching it, you will come back to thank me!
