In October last year, in a football commentator variety show recorded on a platform, Qin Hao restrained and restrained to give his commentary debut.
Under the gaze of Yang Jian, Liu Yuxi and Zhan Jun, he and Su Dong partnered to comment on a Portugal-Ireland match clip, although only a few sentences, his understanding of Manchester United and comments on the Premier League and the Premier League still showed his knowledge.
At that time, not many people should know that Qin Hao had just finished creating a poor character with the attributes of a Northeast fan, and the more than 20 pounds he deliberately gained for the plot had not yet had time to be dissolved by him.
Now more than half a year has passed, and all the secrets have been revealed one by one - the role played by Qin Hao is Gong Biao, who "arms himself with knowledge" and loves learning too much; And the name of that online drama is still unabated in popularity a week after the end - "The Long Season".
The TV screen shows the game of Liaozu.
Liaozu diehard
As of noon on May 8, "The Long Season" has received 9.4 points on Douban, with 383,000 scorers, still ranking first in the list of recent popular mainland dramas.
Among the many topics, there is an examination of the identity of Gong Biao's fan - from 1998 to 2016 in the plot, Gong Biao, played by Qin Hao, experienced the paradoxes and absurdities of fate, and his few "unchanged places" have a preference for football.
At the 19th minute of the first episode, Gong Biao, who used to "match" beer with insulin in the 2016 timeline of the play, went home and turned on the TV, he talked to his wife Huang Liru for a while, and then locked the Beijing Sports Channel that was broadcasting a Chinese Super League game.
That match took place on October 23, 2016, in the 28th round of the season, Liaoning Hongyun played Changchun Yatai.
When Gong Biao switched to this channel, a dangerous attack by Liaoning was broadcast on the TV screen - in the 37th minute of the first half, Liaoning midfielder Jin Taiyan sent a cross from the wing, and foreign center Wujia jumped high and played a wonderful barb shot.
Unfortunately, the ball deflected slightly off the right post, and Changchun Yatai goalkeeper Dong Yifan escaped.
But strictly speaking, this is a bug - in the Chinese Super League season when the local station can broadcast the matches of non-local teams, Gong Biao should not be able to see the Beijing Sports Channel in the northeastern city.
In the real world, the relegation version of the Northeast Derby ended with Changchun Yatai's penalty shootout - Marcelo Moreno's quick start, which kicked off the visitors' subsequent thrilling relegation.
After that game, some Liaoning fans refused to leave, shouting in the stands: "Match-fixing, shame, shame!" Don't kick the fuck off! Give me back! ”
Television is broadcasting the Champions League final.
A mismatched Champions League match
After watching the Northeast derby in the Chinese Super League, Gong Biao's second watch scene turned to the Champions League.
In the 3rd minute of episode 7, also in the show's 2016 timeline, Gong Biao and Captain Ma are watching at a street food stall, the former drinking and nibbling on chicken racks while commenting on the Champions League match broadcast on TV.
Perhaps in order to avoid copyright risks, the game chosen by the crew here is not very elegant, to be precise, it is a trick of transferring flowers - they used the CCTV commentary of the 2017 Champions League final (He Wei mentioned players such as Mandzukic, Pjanic and Sergio Ramos in the commentary), accompanied by the extra-time footage of the 2016 Champions League final.
When Gong Biao was teasing the captain, the picture on the TV set was two substitutions for the 2016 Madrid version of the Champions League final - in the 109th minute, Luis Felipe came down, Lucas Hernandez went on; In the 116th minute, Corker couldn't hold on with leg cramps and Thomas Paltai came on.
That year's Champions League final ended with Real Madrid's penalty win, and Juanfran burst into tears at the San Siro Stadium after the match to apologize to the stands of Atletico Madrid fans.
Zidane poster on the wall.
Zidane's poster crossed
The third "football scene" in "The Long Season" is presented with a star poster as the background.
At the 31st minute of episode 11, the timeline belonging to 1998 - the young version of Gong Biao, holding a screwdriver in the factory dormitory, is intoxicated with himself.
As Gong Biao spoke to himself in the mirror, the poster he put on the wall was equally conspicuous — a blue figure and a striking line of lettering—"Incomparable Zidane."
However, due to the carelessness of the prop group, this poster that appeared in the 1998 timeline is still suspected of crossing: the small logo in the middle of the poster is actually the logo of the 2000 European Cup.
The French number 10, which appears on the right side of the poster, is also from the first round of the group stage of Euro 2000 (June 11, 2000), in which France beat Denmark 3-0. In that game, Zidane, who started the game, provided an assist.
Ban Yu's football complex
Finally, it should be mentioned that Ban Yu, who served as the literary planner of "The Long Season", is not only a representative of the Northeast Renaissance in recent years, but also one of the well-known fans in the literary circle.
In a short story called "Su Kill" in his collection "Winter Swimming", going to Wulihe Stadium to watch the Shenyang Sea Lions match is an important story line.
Perhaps because the memory of watching football in childhood is too deep, Ban Yu also added many details related to Chinese football to the text, such as Peruvian goalkeeper Linunda, the beautiful Dalian Wanda, Li Jinyu, Shenzhen Pingan and Li Weifeng, and the lyrics in the Shenyang Sea Lions song:
"Our sea lions cut the waves, our sea lions rush forward."
