With the arrival of the finale, "The Long Season" was officially canonized, becoming the drama king so far in 2023, winning "Crazy", and winning "Long Moon Ember", which claims to have a market share of more than 30%, let "we snap our fingers with resonance".
The play can be canonized for three reasons:
First, all the members contributed amazing acting skills, and I have to admire the director's Xin Shuang's choice of actors
Although Fan Wei's performance has traces of other roles before, Qin Hao and Fan Wei's "middle-aged and elderly makeup" restricts their expressions, but this does not prevent them from shaping Wang Xiang and Gong Biao into classic characters in the minds of the audience.
From middle age to old age, Fan Wei's interpretation of Wang Xiang is accurate, especially when facing Wang Yang's body by the river, the kneeling, kneeling is real and moving, without any traces of performance.
From Zhang Dongsheng to Gong Biao, Qin Hao can break through his performance boundaries every time and become better and better every time. Although he is only one of the three "big male protagonists" in "The Long Season", in the face of "old drama bones" such as Fan Wei and Chen Minghao, he is like a dramatist and can catch their performances very perfectly.
In addition, Chen Minghao, Lin Xiaojie, Ren Suxi, Li Gengxi, Jiang Qiming, Liu Yitie, and Zhang Jingchu, who appeared at the end, these actors, large and small, have all played their roles in the hearts of the audience. In particular, Li Gengxi's performance in this drama has been recognized by more people, and Jiang Qiming's performance is simply amazing.
Second, the plot is intertwined and constantly fascinating
From the deck case to the shredding case, to Shen Mo's blackening to take down the Hong Kong businessman and Yin Hong's double killing, Fu Weijun died in prison after being caught, and the last puzzle "Wang Yang's cause of death"...
The director first threw out the puzzle, and in the process of subsequent problem solving, he threw out new, larger and more attractive new puzzles, and also allowed the audience to answer the questions together with the development of the plot, this kind of benign interaction helps to improve the reputation of the play.
Some viewers will complain that the plot is advancing too slowly when chasing the drama, but they can't say which parts should be cut, is it Gong Biao's non-stop chatter, or Wang Xiang and Li Qiaoyun's twilight love, or those humorous lines?
These cannot be deleted, because they are the booster and strong support for this show.
Third, the character dies, the plot is sad but gives hope and strength at the end
From Hong Kong businessmen to Yin Hong, from Fu Weijun to Wang Yang, from Luo Meisu to Gong Biao, including Shen Dongliang and his wife, some of their deaths, some deserve it, some end in hatred, and some die in accidents, but all of them are related to one person - Shen Mo.
From the little white flower that everyone loves, to the nemesis who uses all means to blade all her enemies, Shen Mo is extremely selfish, but this selfishness comes from the evil of others and the hatred in her heart. Should the audience regret the innocent deaths of Wang Yang and Luo Meisu, or should they sympathize with Shen Mo and Fu Weijun?
There is no objective answer, in fact, the audience should reflect on something because of Wang Yang's death.
Wang Yang desperately jumped into the river to save her, gave her life but sacrificed his life. Life for life, should and should not, who can give an accurate answer.
Uncovering the truth, redeeming those who should be redeemed, and judging those who should be judged is not exactly the concept that this show wants to convey?
Wang Yang is gone, Wang Bei is coming, the long autumn has passed, and the snowflakes in the sky have brought new vitality, which should be the biggest tear point and the most powerful hope of the whole play.
