"Huan Yan" details control: the gold bar carriage has its own point, and the narration metaphor is full of deep meaning
Halfway through the broadcast of "Huan Yan", Zhang Yi finally appeared, which also caused heated discussions for a while.
The discussion around "Huan Yan" mainly focuses on the simplification of the scene, the personalization of the characters, the advancement of the story of the virtual and the snake, and the powerful actors such as Liao Fan, Yang Haoyu and Zhang Luyi easily receive a box lunch, as well as Zhang Yi, Lou Yixiao and Shanghai scenes have not yet appeared.
Director Xu Bing really has such strong confidence? As a suspenseful type of spy war drama, there is no trace of such an important scene as Shanghai, Liao Fan, Zhang Luyi, Yang Haoyu said no, there is nothing.
How? Want to play "Thousands of Calls Begin to Come Out" and show your face once the world knows?
Joke, in fact, director Xu Bing's confidence is not generated out of thin air, in many details in the first ten episodes, there are actually many clues to the follow-up story, from the three gold bars to the relay transmission of transportation, from Xu Tian's suit to the signature box in Yu Yixiu's hand, as well as the "locals" and "outsiders" in the dialogue, all of which are full of plot trends in secret, and more reversals are hidden in the actions and dialogues of the characters.
Let's start with three gold bars.
01. Gold bars and trigram boxes have their own references
Young Xu Tian and three gold bars have become the core task of the entire "Huan Yan", and whether they can safely escort gold bars to Shanghai and let young people find their fiancées to marry has also become the key suspense of the whole play.
Therefore, the play is also dubbed "life-killing gold" or "gold protection" by netizens.
Three gold bars, naturally, not just three gold bars.
Lao Sun said that the three gold bars represent the "prestige of the Soviet region."
Back in the first act of the play, Yin Xiaotian tells Liao Fan that Xu Tian's family has "supported the revolution for many years", the family has paid for it, and the gold bars and young people are compatriots in Nanyang, entrusting the hope of the revolutionaries.
Because of the gold bars, the youth and the escort have long gathered all kinds of beings in the chaotic times. Pharmacy owners, pawnshop black shops, walled city gangs, jianghu junjie, folk strangers, and local tycoons are all watching and eager to try.
Grabbing a gold bar is naturally a property. What's more, they are all watching the scramble to see if the escort's organization is capable.
In the chaotic times, show strength, naturally follow the crowd; If a few gold bars can't be saved, what confidence will you take to revolutionize?
There are also unidentified people like Ma Tianfang, who obviously want to follow the vine and track down more comrades of the organization by relying on youth and gold bars.
Therefore, protecting the gold bar is to establish the prestige of the Soviet region, and Xu Tian's safe arrival in Shanghai is to show the whole society the strength of the revolutionary organization, show our importance to every life, and let the ideal flame of "universal harmony" be transmitted.
The shining gold bar is the "spark" that establishes the prestige of the organization and obtains trust and support.
Xu Tian, who returned from Nanyang in a white suit, is a symbol of new ideas, escorting him is also protecting a modern concept that truly suits the national conditions.
Opposite him is the trigram box in Yu Yixiu's hand.
Yu Yixiu's trigram box, Chongzhen's three-year official system, hundreds of years old objects, was held in the palm of his hand.
Old objects still have cultural relic value, but ideas must not rest on their laurels.
It is precisely because Yu Yixiu closes himself and holds an old thing like a trigram box that he puts himself in a dilemma.
He was pushed by fate to the position of "head of the walled city", he was not satisfied, and he also wanted to seek new changes, but he has always been trapped in the walled city, trapped in his own identity, and does not know how to take a step.
Until Lao Sun, who was covered in blood, came to the door, until Lao Qi's conspiracy was placed in front of him.
Revolutionizing his own life and breaking the ideological cage, Yu Yixiu was reborn.
His conversation with the old farmer who drove cattle was very interesting, he wanted to use the trigram box to attract the old farmer, and explain the origin of this trigram box, but the old farmer could not understand his half-written explanation.
It was Xu Tian who spoke the ideal of a revolutionary in the vernacular.
In the future, your cattle will not be taken away by others. Have their own fields, everyone depends on labor to eat, the wind and rain are smooth, and more work is rewarded,
There are no headmen, no warlords, no fear in their own homes, neighbors, mutual respect, roads and railways, in all directions.
The descendants of future generations are all in school, they are read, businessmen are honest, soldiers are upright, peasants are diligent, and the country is prosperous.
This touching happy scene not only drives cattle and old farmers willing to die once, but also brings blessings for their children and grandchildren.
Even the nerd Yu Yixiu was moved to hide his tears.
02. Suits and ox carts hide their secrets
Speaking of the scene of "Huan Yan", in order to highlight the main line of protecting gold into Shanghai, director Xu Bing adopted a drama-style scene technique, which was simply outlined, and rarely embellished and laid out.
A simple scene is not the same as a simple story.
The director uses a lot of details to explain the characters and advance the story, skillfully and fast-paced, and quickly substitutes the audience into the scene.
For example, in terms of clothing styling, Xu Tian is wearing a white suit, which looks very advanced and elegant. This directly points out the character characteristics of Xu Tian, who returned from Nanyang, learned progressive ideas, and also had many thoughts about the world and society of his own.
However, his theories and thoughts have not yet been tested by reality. When he struggled to escape from the bloody wind through the rain of bullets, his suit was already covered in blood and dust, crumpled and out of shape.
However, this is the revolutionary who has truly undergone the test, and only then has he truly become a fighter worthy of the task.
Corresponding to him, Lao Sun's short body, down-to-earth, ordinary, and inconspicuous in the crowd. This is the experience and wisdom of the "old rivers and lakes", but the rivers and lakes are dangerous, and he was eventually recognized and shot.
Yu Yixiu, who took over the baton, has another set of clothing styles. Chinese placket, long silk sleeves, and his long mid-length hair. It looks very Sven and elegant, and full of ancient style.
This dress represents the elegance of traditional Chinese style, which is also Yu Yixiu's ideological style.
He also wants the world to be united and obey the equality of all people. However, he was too weak to control the robbery of the entire walled city.
Yu Yixiu has a retro traditional Confucianism, which is our cultural treasure and a precious idea worth inheriting.
But in order to lead everyone in the revolution in turbulent times, we still need more strength and courage.
After that, Yu Yixiu endured the humiliation of the crotch, drank with the casino owner on the street, and was shocked by Xu Tian's simple language, and he was also experiencing his own growth.
He and Xu Tian sat on the old farmer's ox cart and staggered forward. The old farmer is like Fugui in "Alive", who has lost almost everything, leaving only himself and the old cow.
This ox cart represents the simple aspirations of the masses of the people.
There are also trains, bicycles, cars, carriages, and vehicles that constantly switch in a simple background, in fact, it is also an expression of the revolutionaries' continuous efforts, in order to escort gold bars, but also to achieve the happy scene that the old farmer and Xu Tian are looking forward to, they have been running the road.
03. The narration dialogue is full of meaning
Admire "Huan Yan" and don't ignore the lines. A lot of dialogue and narration have deep meaning, and you can only detect the foreshadowing if you feel it carefully.
At the beginning of the whole play, Xu Tian confessed that Lao Sun was the first person who made me start to disappoint myself, and there were four more after that.
Then he pointed out the travel route of the play, out of Fujian, through Jiangxi, through Zhejiang, to Shanghai, all the way north. The geographical implications, which we will discuss in detail in the next part, are our victorious front of "rural encirclement of the city".
A few words, outline the main clues of the whole play, with the bloody struggle of the revolutionaries, in exchange for the growth and victory of the new youth.
After that, whether it was Lao Sun reminding Xu Tian on the train to "don't move, don't look at him", or the pawnshop owner's "black eating black", it was a few words to outline the character image.
The most classic is Yu Yixiu's sentence: "Which province does the Soviet region belong to?" "Presenting a self-styled nerd is very expressive.
When he calmly swallowed the "humiliation of the crotch", the phrase "far away" showed his knowledge and progress.
In prison, facing the sudden appearance of Ma Tianfang, Hu Man asked him for details, but Ma Tianfang told him to take money to do things and don't ask things that he shouldn't know.
It hints to the audience that Ma Tianfang has a larger conspiracy and hidden identity.
In the dialogue between Brigadier Guo and his wife, not only the delicate relationship between Shanghainese and northern Jiangsu people is shown. It also talks about locals and outsiders.
In their eyes, it seems that the long-standing social class and interest pattern have long been set by the locals, and the revolutionaries who are outsiders just happen to pass by, just a trend, and after that, they are still the same old way.
They have not yet sensed the great power of the revolutionaries, let alone that the winds of the times are quietly changing.
At present, Ma Tianfang and Zhang Jiayi are facing off in the village clinic, and Xu Tian is tossing and turning in the basement and finds the guns and ammunition that Zhang Jiayi has saved alone. The confrontation between the two sides is already on the line, and you can see the hot shootout in the next episode.
In Jiangxi and Shanghai, there are more details presented for everyone to dig and reminisce, so continue to look forward to more wonderful foreshadowing of "Huan Yan".
