Everyone finished chasing "The Long Season", right?
From 9.0 points in the first episode of Douban to 9.5 points in the ending, "The Long Season" achieved a higher score as the plot progressed, and finally refreshed Douban's record of high scores for domestic dramas in the past eight years.
It can be seen that the audience is not blind.
A truly excellent film and television work can automatically transform the audience into an Amway speaker, telling friends around them to hurry up and watch it.
The reason why "The Long Season" has become a masterpiece is closely related to the rigorous plot logic and real detail design. Although it has been updated, everyone's discussion of the director's buried plot clues and unspecified suspense is high.
Next, Bassejun will take you to take stock of the details and suspense that are set in the film with interest and depth.
detail
Detail 1: Biaozi's car
In the first episode, Biao Zi is complacent about the new car he just mentioned, showing off that there is nothing wrong with it.
After that, Wang Xiang opened the hood and said, "Soaked in water."
It stands to reason that this car bubble has nothing to do with the plot if it has not been soaked, but the screenwriter designed this line with his own intention:
First of all, it can show Wang Xiang's experience.
Secondly, the plot developed to the eleventh episode, and there was a plot where Biao Zi drove into the river and died, and "Soaked in Water" predicted his fate in the underworld.
Detail 2: "Ma Dashuai" elements
Director Xin Shuang likes "Ma Dashuai" very much and is a fan of Fan Debiao (played by Fan Wei).
It just so happens that "Ma Dashuai" and "Long Season" are both dramas starring Fan Wei with the northeast as the background, so the director took private goods and inserted many elements of "Ma Dashuai" in "The Long Season".
For example, the restaurant under Wang Xiang and Gong Biao is called "Gui Ying Style Barbecue", and Fan Debiao's friendship in "Ma Dashuai" is called "Gui Ying".
Wang Yang and Shen Mo's part-time "Victoria International Entertainment Plaza", the place where Fan Debiao served as a bodyguard in "Ma Dashuai" is also called this name.
In addition, the doormen of "Victoria" are all played by the same actor.
In "The Long Season", he also asked Wang Xiang:
"Did we meet somewhere?"
Detail 3: Fu Weijun's hearing aids
Jiang Qiming, the actor of Fu Weijun, revealed in an interview that Fu Weijun's hearing aids were stolen.
Because he didn't size his ears, he wore it unsteadily.
It is a bridge for Fu Weijun to listen to the world, and he has no extra money to buy new ones, so he cherishes it.
When Fu Weijun was arrested, the hearing aid that fell to the ground also implied that the character had gone to eternal silence.
Detail four: Freud
Freud is a name that Biao Zi often hangs on his lips.
The name was first mentioned when he asked Liru to go to the movies:
Later, before Biaozi and Mengru were passionate, what Biaozi took out from his arms was Freud's "Analysis of Dreams".
"Dreams" is one of Freud's major research results, and in "Dream Analysis", he points out:
"Dreams are the fulfillment of wishes."
It can be said that "dreams" run through Biaozi's life.
As a college student in the nineties, he has a lot of prestige in state-owned enterprises and has unlimited career prospects.
But he was stuck at the threshold of the changing times, and finally became a middle-aged pot-bellied man who did not want to forge ahead and was muddy.
Although he has repeatedly hit a wall in real life, he still retains the afterglow of old idealism in his heart.
Therefore, Liru said that she admired him because he had always lived in a dream.
When Biaozi decided to divorce Liru, he also used "dream" to describe the marriage.
When he finally won the jackpot, he could have ushered in a chance to turn around in his life, but died in the high moment on the car that soared into the air.
From a spirited youth to a middle-aged man who is tired of life, why is Biaozi's life not a "dream"?
Detail 5: Movie Easter eggs
As a movie fan, director Xin Shuang naturally can't help but put his favorite movie elements in "The Long Season".
First of all, it is the film "Two Men Chrysalis and Chrysalis" that Biao Zi and Liru watched in the theater, which is exactly "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" that Qin Hao participated in filming many years ago.
Because the description of "chrysalis" is so funny, Qin Hao was also jokingly called "lonely brave" (chrysalis) by netizens.
In addition, when Fu Weijun was beaten by a group, the movie in the background was "Scarface Star" starring Al Pacino.
The protagonist of the film is also a ruthless and daring street gangster, echoing the character of Fu Weijun.
Detail 6: Why did Shen Mo go to work in entertainment venues?
As a middle school student, going to work in an entertainment venue is undoubtedly dangerous.
But this setting was not casually thought by the director, but because at that time, the northeast private economy was in decline, state-owned enterprises were about to collapse, and only entertainment venues and catering industries had more part-time opportunities.
Compared to washing dishes, Shen Mo, who wants to earn money as soon as possible to get rid of the beast master, naturally chooses to go to an entertainment place.
In addition, at that time, many laid-off women workers had to sell their bodies to make a living after being cornered.
There have also been a large number of human tragedies in which "husbands take their wives to sell themselves".
In "The Long Season", Qiaoyun gets on her husband's tricycle after work to reflect this historical reality.
suspense
Suspense 1: For whom did Fu Weijun's tears flow?
In the heavy snow of the last episode, Fu Weijun screams and cries silently in the snow alone.
Throughout the show, the character is always silent, and this is the only time he vents his pain.
Therefore, the audience is entangled in whether he is crying for the death of the girl he likes, or for his sister to kill someone?
In Bassejun's opinion, there are both.
When Fu Weijun returned to the video store, he saw the clothes returned by Yin Hong, and his eyes showed a bit of tenderness.
It can be speculated that Yin Hong is still a special existence for him.
When he learned that his sister had killed Yin Hong and divided her body, he immediately shed painful tears.
And when he cried bitterly in the snow, what he held in his hand was exactly the hairpin he had given to Yin Hong.
Therefore, Fu Weijun's tears are shed for his sister to kill again, for the death of the girl he likes, and even more for his powerlessness in facing life.
His pain was thick and complex.
Suspense two: What happened to Sui Dong in the end?
Sui Dong was sent to the hospital after being beaten, and has never appeared in the play since.
Many viewers are curious, where did he end up?
The actor who played Sui Dong told fans on Weibo that Sui Dong's final ending was actually filmed, but it was cut.
Finally, "my wife and children hotly set up a barbecue in the video store." ”
So please rest assured.
Suspense three: Did Wang Xiang die in the end?
In the last episode, Wang Xiang finally found out the truth about the death of his son Wang Yang.
After returning to normal life, he lived happily with Qiaoyun and Wang Bei.
Finally, the three of them sat in the car, passing a cornfield, and Wang Xiang said that he wanted to get out of the car and went to the cornfield alone.
When crossing the cornfield, a blurry figure appeared in the camera, as if a person had fallen in the cornfield.
According to this ambiguous footage, many netizens speculated: Wang Xiang died in a cornfield, and the speeding train was like a metaphor for taking away his life.
But there is actually another explanation:
Wang Xiang did not die in the cornfield, but the heart knot that had been sealed for many years finally opened, and the life in front of him ushered in peace, so the body that fell in the cornfield was an old shell, which meant that Wang Xiang finally got a new life.
You can understand the open ending as much as you want, and you can believe whatever you want.
But it's important to remember:
Look ahead, don't look back.
