"I don't know where The Tranquility has come, nor do I know if Li Wei is unharmed, the third lock shop in Winter winter has just opened, Shao Zhuang's last game of chess has only been played halfway, I am not curious about the IQ of the Germans, nor do I care where I will wander, but this morning I saw a fat sheep, and when I looked back, you were not by my side." ——Zhihu author wrote from the perspective of Xiao Bao, the protagonist of the Douban 9.6 high-scoring web drama "Mao Deception".
I would like to use this document to youying culture and Li Hongsi's team, and special thanks to the five main members of the "Mao Deception" series (Xiao Bao, AnNing, Shao Zhuang, Dong Dong, Li Wei) - media person Xiao Nan (Sina Weibo: Xiao Nan - Xiang Forget the Jianghu)
From "Gross Deception. The Finale was released on the Youku platform on September 10, 2015, with a member level 10 continuous broadcast, interpreting legends of the ages, and playing the world's best songs, and it has been nearly six years. And, too, this article, came nearly six years late.
I have always wanted to write about the development process of Youyou Image (now "Youying Culture"), write about Li Hongsi, Yang Yu (XiaoBao), AnNing, Xing Dongdong, Shao Zhuang, Li Wei, Yao Meng, Che Zhigang (Old Car), Ji Dengchao (XiaoFei), Zhao Ning, Wang Xiaoyi (Sweet), Relativity Band, write about "The Thing College Students Live Together", "Mao Deception", "Sentient fun", "Those Maverick Pigs", "Happy Little 2B", "Spicy Next Door", "Can't Kill", "Can't Afford to Lose" and even the "Mao Deception" that has been releasing. The Edge of the City (formerly known as "Zhang Liangji and the Ladder Over the Wall") and the upcoming "Very Bodyguard" and "Foreign Objects Chronicle", but they have not had the courage to write, because no matter how they write, they can't write that kind of profoundness, that kind of love, that kind of fascination, that kind of reluctance, that kind of heartache, that kind of heartache.
If the resonance of 2008's "The Thing College Students Living Together" inspired me to move forward, then the first season of "Mao Deception" in 2010 completely overturned my perception of them. It turned out that Li Hongsi's team was not as simple as we thought, and would only shoot some young and witty short dramas, and it turned out that their professionalism and rigor, wisdom and energy were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Today (May 12, 2021) at noon, the "Mao Deception" side story "The Edge of the City" that was quietly staged on Tencent Video is about to be updated, and I want to seal "Mao Deception. The Sadistic Square of the Five in the Finale, or the open-air balcony that locks the five of them in "The Edge of the City". In the early hours of the morning, I finally plucked up the courage to write a complex of 13 years from 2008 to the present.
One: The two ends of the Yellow River are guests, and the wind and rain hit the cold. Don't bully the dream of the young man who is poor, eat and drink and enjoy it.
In 2008, in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, Li Hongsi and his friends of the Hebei Film and Television Media College, an alumnus, created Excellent Image, which began with the "originator of online drama". In the same year, Zhengzhou, Henan, also just graduated from university, I also faced the difficulties of employment and the challenge of survival.
I used the money saved from the living expenses given by my parents before graduation to rent the cheapest rain-leaking illegal room in the urban village, a bed, a desk, a worn-out computer, a second-hand bicycle, whether it was torrential rain, wind, ice and snow, or the heat was unbearable, the power was difficult to endure, while writing copywriting to earn some extra money, while working in the magazine agency, became a city migrant worker, a teenager chasing dreams.
Once I inadvertently browsed the portal, I came across "The Matter of College Students Living Together" and saw these post-85 teenagers who were similar to my age. I was drawn to their wit and earnestness, to their youthfulness and pure resonance, to applaud their persistence and struggle, to their poverty and forbearance.
In 2010, I had seen the third season from the first season, sad for their hard work and frugality in the plot, happy and happy that their works had received more attention and advertising, just like that, I was at the other end of the Yellow River, parallel time and space, accompanied by them, silently growing up together, bittersweet and bittersweet. I always believe that I have always had an indissoluble love affair with the friends of Li Hongsi's team.
Zi Yue: "Xianzha Huiye, a piece of food, a scoop of drink, in the dark alley, people are overwhelmed by their worries, and they will not change their happiness when they return." Hyun-jae back also. Li Hongsi and his friends interpret the contemporary "poor food and drink, do not change their pleasure", they have no complaints, no regrets, perseverance, only to be worthy of the netizens and audiences who care about them, worthy of their profession and dreams, worthy of the persistence and belief in their hearts. Therefore, when the third season of "The Thing College Students Live Together" was about to end, Li Hongsi's team brought the top work "Mao Deception" series.
Second: Fighting wits and courage, reversing the plot is fascinating. Seeing through the meaning of life and death, the rogue left his name cause and effect.
The advent of the "Mao Deception" series has attracted more and more netizens and viewers, and many professionals such as network big Vs and film critics have been highly praised. Under their professional comments, Li Hongsi's team and their "Mao Deception" series have received unanimous praise, of course, they are well-deserved and deserved.
According to the plot of the play, the so-called "mao deception" refers to the small crooks on the street, who are organized and disciplined, and hang out on the edge of the city. This gang of scammers is extraordinary, they are somewhat similar to "grand thieves", they are outlaws, no noble character, but professional ethics, their purpose is not just for money. They are also highly intelligent criminal gangs, each of whom calculates every step precisely, locks in targets, makes plans, carefully lays out, lures the enemy deeper, and finally puts greedy and lustful and rich and unmerciful people into the net.
If the 20 episodes of the first season of "Mao Deception" (premiered on June 7, 2010) are not ideal, the actors are green, the props are not ideal, etc., and they are all attracted by the interlocking and fascinating plot, then the 14 episodes of the second season of "Mao Deception" (premiered on October 20, 2011) have been perfected and perfected under the maturity of the main actor Xiao Bao and the joining of Shao Zhuang. Especially after the 14th episode of the second season (January 5, 2014) was broadcast, Li Hongsi's team passively stopped due to financial problems, leaving the audience with countless suspense, so that the audience who watched it could see the ending of this web series all the time, with their hearts and minds, and even praying that they could see the ending of this web series in their lifetime.
After more than 20 months of arduous waiting, on September 10, 2015, I waited for "Mao Deception" with many viewers. The Finale. When it arrived, I was excited but also lost. The excitement is to finally be able to solve the mystery, and the loss is waiting for the end. On that day, all those who paid attention to them cheered and lost sleep; this one became an immortal masterpiece and became a classic.
This high-IQ, zero-loophole, foreshadowing, and mysterious "Mao Deception" series was created by the main creative team in a poor and difficult environment. They have no funds to publicize, they do not compete for fame and profit, they bury their heads in creation, they do not forget their original intentions, and use the plot to create a small world of their own with hard work. Tao Li does not speak, and the next is a mystery. Their fame is getting bigger and bigger, and their works are getting better and better.
Viewers who have seen it will say "Mao Deception. The Finale is a good drama, a divine drama. And watching them grow step by step and grow up with them, my evaluation of it is: Youying Culture has reached its peak with the "Mao Deception" series. This work is destined to become legendary, especially "Mao Deception. "The Finale" is a film and television work that has never been seen before or since, and there is no one.
Three: Painfully expose the ugly and evil death situation, and the name of the jianghu hero is benevolent and righteous. Focus on creation without asking, happy to be vengeful self-evaluation.
Regrettably, at that time, the producer and the Youku platform only signed "Mao Deception. The final chapter of the one-year broadcasting rights, after the expiration of one year, the platform did not renew the shelf, and then some new policies came out, the producer did not re-authorize any platform, so it led to "Mao Deception. The Finale was later played and downloaded online. Unfortunately, many netizens who later liked them or heard their legends had a hard time seeing "Mao Deception. The style of "The End".
Thieves also have a way, there is love and righteousness, the plot of the play and their legends have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I believe that the audience who can understand it, like me, sees how to recognize deception, how to recognize deception, how to publicize the law, how to sound the alarm bell, how to correct the chaos, and how to be chivalrous.
They have successively created popular works such as "Can't Kill" and "Can't Afford to Lose". Especially in 2021, Li Hongsi's team has brought a series of heavy news. The 11 city meetings in the first season of "Mao Deception 10th Anniversary Meeting" and the 10 city meetings in the second season were all met by the five main actors of "Mao Deception" and the relativity band; the "Mao Deception" fanfare "Edge of the City", which is being broadcast on Tencent Video, the "Very Bodyguard" that will be released on iQiyi, and the fifth season of "Spicy Dormitory" that will be urged by netizens and audiences to come out this year. Let the netizens and viewers who love their team rejoice almost crazy and return to their youth.
Four: Mao deception ends the legend of the gods, and the urban interpretation is on the edge. The five tiger generals reunited, and the stone broke the sky and passed down from generation to generation.
From 2015 'Mao Deception. After the "Finale" update was completed, I read it in one breath, fortunately, I downloaded all the "Mao Deception" series to the mobile hard disk, and I would not be unable to find "Mao Deception" for other reasons. The playback source of The Finale.
From the fall of that year until the beginning of this year, to be exact, in the 10 years since the first season of "Mao Deception" came out in 2010, I used my leisure time, even when I was working overtime at home to write, to relive the first season of "Mao Deception" more than 15 times, the second season more than 25 times, and the finale more than 30 times.
Looking at them over and over again, again and again, I felt that I had "never met them, but I have been friends for a long time." "How many times have you been confused, think about how they survived in adversity, think about how they turned things around, many things will become clear." Dozens of long nights, I dreamed of being in Shijiazhuang and Hebei Film and Television Media Academy, chatting with Xiaobao, fighting with Shaozhuang, eating with Dongdong... In the dream I was their friend, one of them. Or they came to Zhengzhou and were friends with me for a long time, talking about brotherhood and righteousness and talking about family and country feelings. Every time I dream of them, I am full of tears, excited by the ethereality of their thick and thin hair, touched by their persistent and stoic character, and touched by the plot of their killing everything in a second.
For several years, I have been immersed in the loss of never seeing such a perfect work again, and finally waited for the "Tenth Anniversary Meeting of Mao Deception" this year, depressed that there was no Henan in the 11 cities in the first season, and I did not go to Shijiazhuang for various reasons to meet the city of their first season. Excited about the upcoming second season, they will arrive in Zhengzhou on June 14. I have never pursued film and television actors, and I can see them with my own eyes, which are similar to my age and mentors and friends, so that my long-cherished wish for many years is about to be realized.
Another blockbuster news broke at the end of April than the meet-up. At noon on April 28, the "Mao Deception" novel "The Edge of the City" was quietly launched on Tencent Video. There is no publicity, but the comment area is boiling "falling"; there is no hype, but the good reputation continues. The drama mainly tells the story of Xiao Bao's high-IQ game and contest with all parties through multiple layouts to complete his mission and redeem his father. A series of common scams run through the main line, such as liquor saucers, selling fake drugs and other scams, real grounding, strong sense of substitution, full of interesting ornamentation, but also has a profound warning educational significance. On the basis of implementing the strong plot of "Mao Deception", the main plot of "Edge of the City" is more far-reaching, the plot setting is clever and complete, the rhythm is compact, multiple reversals, interlocking, the plot is gripping, the suspense is repeated, and it lives up to expectations.
The XiaoBao in "The Edge of the City" is no longer the little treasure who is frivolous, "usually has no plan B", "the brain is good but lacks calm", in his face and demeanor, what he sees is a cold face, calm and calm, better layout, and vicissitudes and bitterness. This inexplicable heartache, mixed tastes.
"Once upon a time, there was a friend, who wandered around as an adult, and there were a few good friends, who seemed to be dashing and comfortable, but those friends finally had their own goals and lived their own lives, only he himself was still alone, although there were things to do, but the real future was there, he couldn't see it at all." 」 Perhaps this quote from Xiao Bao in "The Edge of the City" also tells the price of growth, responding to Shao Zhuang's "Since the encounter is accidental, why should we care about the suddenness of separation." ”
The appearances of Brother Bao and Dong Dong can still make me laugh with tears and feel a little relieved. Until the end, Shao Zhuang, Li Wei, and An Ning were invited by Xiao Bao to help in turn, and each person's appearance would touch the softest place in my heart and would make my tears swirl.
If the most classic precept handed down from "Mao Lie" is "all laws are empty, cause and effect are not empty", then "The Edge of the City" tells us that "it is both redemption and the way back". At the end of "Edge of the City", when Anning asked Xiao Bao what his next plan was, Xiao Bao replied in his father's words, "Use the first half of your life to experience what others have not experienced, and use the second half of your life to experience what others are experiencing" also confirmed that it was a vigorous and wonderful scene, and finally you still need to return to the truth and return to real life. In the Easter egg part at the end of the film, the five people get together and face new challenges; the five people look at each other, is it a classic?
This "Edge of the City" in the high-level "Mao Deception" halo, did not let us down, this Xiaobao as the main line of the extravaganza is just the beginning, since there is a Xiaobao chapter, it is likely that there will be Shao Zhuang chapter, Anning chapter, winter winter chapter, Li Wei chapter, Zhao Ning chapter, and even Bao Ge chapter. At that time, I hope to give Bao Brother more "an egg".
As their "friend", I hope that they can continue to create and create more works that hit the depths of their souls and make people addicted. I hope that more and more people will pay attention to them and invest in them, because their acting skills have been perfected, and their plots are difficult to surpass.
