Douban opened with a score of 9.0, rose to 9.5 points after the finale, and the ending of "The Long Season" ended. Its reputation continues to ferment, not because of how bizarre its story is, but because the director is a detail maniac, and every shot and every line has a deep meaning. Today we will talk about the details in "The Long Season" that everyone overlooked.
The name "The Long Season" seems ordinary at first glance, but when you watch the whole drama, you will understand that this name fits the plot too well. In the northeast, winter is obviously the longest, and autumn is the shortest.
The reason why the title of the play uses this not only refers to the literal season, but also implies that Wang Xiang, the horse team, Shen Mo and others were all trapped in that autumn, so after a heavy snowfall, everyone was relieved, "Go forward, don't look back", is what the director said to everyone.
In the first episode, Gong Biao bought a new car and was screaming, and Wang Xiang knew that the car had been soaked in water as soon as he touched it. As a result, in episode 11, the lottery ticket bought by Gong Biao finally won the lottery, and he suffered a car accident at the moment of his big joy and rushed into the river, which echoed before and after, making Gong Biao's life more dramatic.
Fan Wei has played "Ma Dashuai", so there are several familiar names in the play. In the play, as long as he goes to the restaurant, he will basically go to "Guiying Style Barbecue", and in "Ma Dashuai", Debiao was once the "Executive Chef of Guiying Flavor Hotel". There is also Victoria's doorman, who is the same person as in "Ma Dashuai", so he will ask Wang Xiang if he has seen it before.
The first time Wang Yang asked Shen Mo to watch a movie, it was the hottest "Titanic" at that time, the male protagonist died in the movie to save the female protagonist, and the ending Wang Yang died to save Shen Mo, echoing before and after, this movie is a spoiler buried by the director.
When Gong Biao had a car accident, he hit "Brother Hao Freight", which is Brother Hao, who opened a beauty salon with Liru, and was also the object of her cheating. Some netizens guessed that Gong Biao's car accident was deliberately designed by Brother Hao. But in A Huan's view, this is more like a bad fate, Gong Biao was dismissed by the factory director because Liru, her future was ruined, and because her cheating object suffered a car accident, Liru is actually Gong Biao's robbery.
In the ending, Wang Xiang walked into the cornfield and saw himself 18 years ago, and careful netizens found that there was a blurry red shadow in the lens, which was the red sweater Wang Xiang was wearing, so netizens thought that Wang Xiang was dead.
In fact, this is just a symbolic meaning, Fan Wei said in an interview that in his understanding, Wang Xiang is still alive, and the Wang Xiang lying in the cornfield is Wang Xiang in the past, which is just a dramatic expression.
The names of several main characters in the play are not casual. Wang Yang and Shen Mo are actually a contrast, Wang Yang's family is complete, but Shen Mo has lived in the dark since he was a child, and the violation of the uncle, the silence of the eldest lady, and the betrayal of Yin Hong finally let her fall into darkness. But Wang Yang exchanged his life for her life and became a ray of sunshine in her life.
And the name Yin Hong also foreshadowed her end, the so-called Yin Hong, in fact, is a pool of red, and her end is to be crushed corpses. Yin Hong is greedy, selfish, and jealous of Shen Mo, and eventually her greed cost her life.
"The Long Season" only has a short 12 episodes, but after its end, word of mouth further fermented, and when people brushed the second and third brushes, they found that many seemingly insignificant shots were actually hints and prophecies. This is a really good drama, let the audience calm down and carefully taste each picture, every time you watch it has new discoveries, you can't get tired of watching it.
