What do you think of the Northeast, what do Northeasterners look like?
Only the long and cold winter, and a group of big old men sitting cross-legged on the kang and big old ladies who are fierce and tiger?
Before watching "The Long Season", the inherent impression that the Northeast brought to the people of the whole country was probably like this.
Because the northeast depicted in too many film and television dramas is cold and slaughtering, a large area of white snow, as if to cover up all enthusiasm, people also become cold in this environment, doing nothing.
But Xin Shuang, the director of "The Long Season", said in an exclusive interview with Tencent Entertainment that the northeast in his impression is not this scene.
It is not all icy and snowy, but also has a crisp autumn air, four distinct seasons, autumn colors are yellow and green, and the weather is very comfortable.
Northeasterners have a more significant feature, that is, very heavy things, everyone will use one or two jokes, with a little humor unique to the Northeast language, to dissolve the heaviness.
So "The Long Season" does the opposite, talking about the northeast, but not about the winter in the northeast, and about the long, but choosing a shorter autumn.
Accustomed to seeing the ice and snow of the Northeast, when the bright and somewhat warm Northeast comes into view, it may be difficult to connect the place where the story takes place with the Northeast, but the spicy still makes "The Long Season" have a strong Northeast characteristic.
Aside from the suspenseful characteristics of this drama, the most eye-catching thing is the comedy emitted by the whole play, and the Northeast comedy carries not only regional characteristics, but also humanistic customs and the humor of Northeasterners.
It's just that "The Long Season" does not deliberately design baggage like most straightforward comedies, and most of the laughs in the play are down-to-earth daily life, but it can inadvertently make the audience laugh.
For example, the lady of the cold noodle shop played by Ren Suxi was scared after seeing the broken corpse, but when the police asked if the two were okay, the lady answered the question, using "We are fine", seemingly answering the police's question, and finally made up for it with a weak heart, "We are ordinary friends".
For example, after Gong Biao and Wang Xiang watched Ma Desheng's dance with the old lady in the dance hall, they vividly described Ma Desheng's confident dance posture with "the old lady is almost to the sky".
There is also similar to Wang Xiang's active participation in the process of police investigation of the shredded corpse case, from the beginning full of confidence to vomit was carried away on a stretcher, showing the character characteristics of the characters at the same time, but quietly let everyone feel the charm of Northeast comedy alone.
In addition to presenting the advanced technique of Northeast comedy, this drama also highlights regional characteristics by shaping characters and refines the image of Northeasterners.
The role of Gong Biao, played by Qin Hao, makes us feel the open-minded outlook on life of Northeasterners who "should eat, drink, and don't put things in your heart".
He read Freud, but he was also an authentic, ordinary and pure Northeasterner.
After coming together with Huang Liru, Gong Biao became a green hat receiver in the eyes of everyone, obviously so many people knew that Huang Liru had an affair with the factory director and was pregnant with his child, but Gong Biao was buried in the drum, and mistakenly thought that Huang Liru, who suddenly came to find him, had true feelings for himself.
But even if he became a well-known green hat king, and became a laid-off employee because of a battle, burying a great future, Gong Biao is always full of hope and expectation for his future life.
And Wang Xiang, played by Fan Wei, let the audience see the righteousness and kindness of Northeasterners from him, and Wang Xiang spent 18 years investigating the cause of his son Wang Yang's death.
During this period, Li Qiaoyun repeatedly showed favor to him and expressed his willingness to form a new family, but Wang Xiang refused.
Of course, he can choose to live an ordinary life, or he can let Li Qiaoyun take care of himself, but Wang Xiang knows that he is trapped in the past, and he can't completely let go of the past and devote himself to the current life one hundred percent, so he chooses to keep his distance from Li Qiaoyun.
Not only that, he did not want to tie Wang Bei to his side, but told Wang Bei that he could leave this place in Hualin and go to the big city.
He regarded Wang Bei as his son, but did not want him to be a complete substitute for his son Wang Yang.
And Wang Xiang's kindness is reflected in his attitude towards Xing San, who once regarded Wang Yang as a thief for his own selfish interests, and labeled Wang Yang as a thief in front of everyone.
But years later, Wang Xiang not only did not hate Xing San for this, but also gave him the money in his hand after learning of his illness, telling the other party to take care of himself. The generosity and tolerance without calculation, and the calmness and calmness of dealing with people and things, are vividly reflected in Wang Xiang's body.
In Ma Desheng, played by Chen Minghao, he can feel the innate sense of justice of Northeasterners.
When he determined through the warm bottle in Shen Mo's private photo that the person who photographed it was Shen Mo's uncle, he knew that he could not do it, and after private interrogation, he beat the scum again.
He defended justice in his heart in a way that set aside the limitations of the rules and systems imposed by his identity.
When he found that his personality may not be like other policemen, he calmly took off his police uniform, but with or without this skin, he is still the same person with a sense of justice. From the time Wang Xiang asked him to help investigate the case, Ma Desheng stayed up all night without saying a word, and he knew that his adherence to justice was better than everyone.
This is also inevitably reminiscent of the hot incident of the northeast brother helping the girl return to the parents with the baby on the high-speed train, the child on the train hit the back of the girl's chair many times, and the girl was insulted and beaten by the child's parents when she turned back to persuade.
At this time, although a northeast brother is an outsider, he stood up to help the wronged girl speak, with clear logic and reason, which truly explained what it is to speak out. The applause that filled the carriage at the end of the video just shows everyone's recognition of this northeastern big brother.
But on the other hand, netizens also noticed the northeastern accent of this big brother, which already shows that such a big brother full of a sense of justice and positive energy is very common in the northeast, but in this big brother, the enthusiasm, directness and temperament of northeasterners are vividly displayed.
Just like before "The Long Season", everyone's impression of the Northeast was cold and bleak, but a drama changed everyone's inherent impression. And this Northeast big brother, like Wang Xiang, Gong Biao and Ma Desheng and others in the play, has completely broken everyone's stereotype of Northeasterners being fierce and nonsense.
Have you seen such a northeast? What is your impression of the Northeast and the Northeasterners?
