"A Dance in the City" finale: too many deletions, Wang Jing's drama is actually clear in one sentence
Text/Ye Qiuchen
In fact, when I saw the 15th episode of Wang Jing's "A Dance in the City", I wanted to write a review, but I didn't find a particularly suitable opportunity.
Now that after chasing the finale, the whole story has come to an end, and it's time to say goodbye to this drama in words.
Let's start with the overall feeling.
Too many cuts, too many.
It seems that the original volume of about 25 episodes was cut to 22 episodes.
If the deleted content is added back, it will not cause some of the storylines to be broken.
Ye Qiuchen thought that he was accustomed to watching the Cantonese version, and he should be able to find "complete" resources.
The result is still a sense of fragmentation.
Like Monica, why is she involved with Ma Ying after being obsessed? And how did the eagle tattoo on the back come about? Why did Zhifei look different after seeing it?
I thought I would explain it later, but it didn't.
I almost felt like I missed an episode and slid the progress bar back to rewatch it once.
Also Who did the Marco car accident?
Is it really just an accident?
After all, he just had an altercation with his ex-wife, and the location where he said goodbye to KK when he went downstairs was not in the driveway, why was he suddenly hit?
Like Zhuang Simin previously revealed that her Yu Dan's mother and Ma Ying have many super intimate scenes that have been deleted, it is indeed a pity that they have been filmed but not broadcast.
But such deletions are understandable, after all, it is not only broadcast in Hong Kong, China, and our censorship here is strict.
But why should the rest of the story be cut?
Does it really show something dark that can't be seen?
This operation was slightly speechless.
Of course, because the discussion and popularity of "One Dance in the City" is not high, even if people who follow and follow the drama feel awkward and want to calculate, they will just read a few sentences in pieces, and they can't influence anything.
The only complete story design is to tell the story of the City of Nations and the people in the City of Nations from glory to loneliness through the plot.
Next, let's talk about the characters in the play.
Near the finale, the main male characters turned on the hanging mode, and two were sent away directly in 21 episodes.
Almost exhausted the routines and cheesy destinations.
First, Marco said goodbye to love and "accidentally" had a car accident, and then Qinglong was shot and killed at the wedding scene.
Ma Ying was killed by his own father, they all said that the tiger poison did not eat the son, Tu Bo was really a pit man's goods from beginning to end, and after pit his brother pit his son, he was extremely selfish.
In the end, she was shot and killed by Salud's mother, and although she personally avenged her man, she also paid the price of going to prison.
The director and screenwriter let go of the two main male characters, one is Zhifei and the other is Wang Junju.
Mainly talk about Zhifei.
Zhifei and Monica and Michelle have emotional lines, and both women start with M, isn't it quite a coincidence.
After he was with Monica, he was still pondering the possibilities of himself and Michelle, and he felt a bit of a scumbag.
It was because of this act of defeat that I saw that Zhifei was not moved at all when he proposed to Monica.
It seems that they have been together for a long time, so they naturally move towards a life of life.
It's not driven by love at all.
At the beginning, Michelle was touched by Ma Ying a few times, he was so angry that he almost beat people, and he could actually endure his real girlfriend who had been a dance lady to accompany the wine, and the finale came with a sentence of "I raise you", and the brain circuit was really lost.
The relationship is not dry and clean, and the thread is broken, which makes people unlikeable.
Monica is really miserable, in order to raise money to become a dance lady for her ex-boyfriend, and then identify the scumbag and break up decisively, and then meet Zhifei, who seems affectionate but is actually a scumbag in disguise.
Their frankness is not as good as that of Situ Datu, who is clear and clear.
It is said that Situ Daxiang has not appeared since he traveled with Monica.
Some netizens ridiculed Cai Jie for using up all her peach blossom luck in "Forensic Pioneer 5", so she can only keep beating monster scumbags in "One Dance in the City".
Finally, I would like to summarize the plot, and the whole story is explained in one sentence.
Miss does not deserve true love, except KK.
(rhymed with a roar)
The green dragon and salad are true love, but the green dragon hangs.
Yudan's mother and Ma Ying are true love, but Ma Ying hangs.
Zhifei's feelings for Monica have just been talked about.
Paula's revengeful love didn't come to fruition either.
There is not even a real love line from beginning to end, and in the end, he can go to school either with his own savings or find a long-term meal ticket, but it doesn't matter.
The unpleasant Money was deceived many times by her boyfriend who gambled indiscriminately, but her man still had a conscience, at least did not leave, but chose to return and tell Salad that they were going to save people, but in the end they were not together.
In the ending, Money used his own advantages to accompany his mother to set up a stall to sell snacks and turned into a "fish egg Shih Tzu".
(rhymed again)
There is nothing wrong with saying "Miss is not worthy of true love" here.
But the whole plot looks like "only KK is an exception".
KK and Marco did have true love, and KK gave the first time to the man she really loved.
Although he did not fight the family marriage, he also received a large amount of money before leaving.
In the later stage, this man also spent money to help her invest in movies, and immediately replaced a spare tire Wang Junju after Marco hung up.
One is the rich and the other is the potential stock.
The director is very fond of this female character.
The character of KK is indeed lucky, and the last man also won the honor of best director, and his life must be no worse in the future.
In fact, I think it is good if they are arranged to end up alone and beautifully, life is long, and each has its own pursuit.
There is no need to make a special case, it is too eye-catching.
The actor Chen Xingyu who plays KK is indeed quite beautiful, but this acting skill really needs to be honed again.
Some of the expressions are very dramatic, especially crying.
Paula's actor Carrie Fu actually performs better, and her appearance and figure are not bad, but the plot gives her very limited space to play.
Wang Jing rarely engaged in a Hong Kong drama, and his style has always been very bold, and many of his works are childhood memories.
Maybe I went to see it with this idea, so I expected too much before I clicked on "One Dance in the City".
After reading the whole article, I maintain the same point in the last review.
If you have leisure to chase, otherwise it is not recommended.
