Zheng Xiaolong's spy drama "Red Rose", which was supervised by Zheng Xiaolong + director Jin Ye and written by Zhao Dongling, was not cared for because it caught up with the classic masterpiece "Kite" in the same period. Of course, Chen Xiao's cameo as the agent was slightly ridiculous, and all kinds of stealing intelligence and killing enemy tricks were very bloody, but it told the tragic trend of different people in a chaotic world.
Xia Yuzhu, Gu Shuangju, Xiao Chengbi, Song Guang, and others, because of their faith and desires, went to a different revolutionary road of rebellion and a different revolution, condensing the bloody war of resistance and the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the decades of zhengrong. The hardships and bitterness of the red face and the legendary experience of different people have made people re-examine and understand the "faith" and "revolution"!
Xia Yuzhu was originally a pampered and unsophisticated Miss Qianjin, but her brother Xia Hengxuan was killed and her family was destroyed. After she fell madly in love with the revolutionary mentor Ren Zhiyuan, and various coincidences, she resolutely became an underground party member, Yang Zishan played very witty and brave, and the tragic characters also had all kinds of helplessness and hypocrisy.
As a widow, she never took care of her children, sneaked into the other party, and indirectly killed Song Guang, who had saved herself. Later, her son took a gun and wanted to kill her in a mistake, although there were all kinds of difficulties and difficult to say, but she and her family and friends went to a dead end, although it seemed to be a heroic feat, in some places it violated ethics and human feelings.
Yang Zishan's performance is very calm and tenacious, her line skills are super strong, her affection for her sisters and lovers, and her fearlessness when she is in danger, all of which are measured! Chen Xiao appears behind Xiao Junhao, who seems to be a clumsy and stubborn disciple, but in fact, he is a lurker with both wisdom and courage, and he is as vivid as Shen Xingqiao in "That Year the Flowers Bloomed".
Chen Xiao looks like the male protagonist, more like the traffic actor "Soy Sauce Emperor", Xiao Junhao suddenly disappeared in front, and then appeared again, not only married to the female one, but also infiltrated the top level of the national army, inexplicably fatal! The male and female protagonists killing enemies and stealing intelligence are often too easy, showing the imprudent nature of Zhao Dongling's screenwriting team.
Mao Linlin plays Gu Shuangju, from the lady who suffers with the young lady, to the sisters behind her, who love and kill each other. She is inferior to her origins, looks down on the poor, is abused and occupied by bad people for the young lady, lives on the street with a dumb child, becomes a tool of military command, she becomes cold-blooded and cruel to blacken, and Mao Linlin also plays exquisite and delicate.
Gu Shuangju didn't understand that she had long been reduced to a murderous tool played by politics, lost her true nature, and hated people also had pity! She followed the party-state, killed the traitors and destroyed the family, killed innocent children, violated the oath of loyalty to Miss, and also assassinated Xiao Chengbi, who had helped herself, a typical disloyal and unjust power woman.
Liu Min plays Xiao Chengbi, who is cold and capable and has a very accurate grip on the strength, and has been sentenced to two people with the wind and dust woman in "Red". She had previously fervently thrown herself into the revolution and had a faith in justice, but after experiencing the death of her lover and being forced by life, she gradually fell in love with power and fantasized about "saving the country by curve", before she defected to the puppet government and became a traitor.
She had no choice but to tell the demonstrators that "some people love to earn power and profits under the guise of freedom and democracy", but she cried out and struggled in the storm, seemingly reasonable, but was tragically attacked by rotten eggs. In the fate of the tragedy of her life imprisonment, Xiao Chengbi defected to the wrong organization and became a broken "Heshi Bi"?
He Yongsheng plays the villain Sun Tianpu, the director of military command, and Sun Zhihong plays Song Guang, two "enemies" who judge the situation at the time of trial, revealing political darkness and helplessness in the world. It shows the complexity and cruelty behind various political interests, and figures such as the Kuomintang, the Communist Party of China, and the puppet government are no longer good or bad people who can generalize, but each is its own master, each with its own pain and helplessness.
Despising the actor Tian Lei of the big villain Chen Dedao, his full facial performance is obviously superficial. It seems that the nationalist army and the Wang puppet government can defect at will, and he was finally killed by the stolen daughter-in-law, which makes people look very powerless.
Sun Zhihong plays Song Guang, who looks handsome and bumps into Huang Xiaoming, and his pain for his lover and his helplessness in the political chaos are all introverted and vivid, which can be called the biggest highlight of the whole drama. This traitor of the Wang puppet government also used a humane dialectical attitude to get rid of the criticism of changing a single face.
Song Guang loved the wrong woman and stood on the wrong team. He was still too kind and pedantic in his bones, and although he did not agree with Wang Jingwei, he did not know how to judge the situation and fantasized about being Qin Juniper. So he watched as the revolutionaries who had assassinated him were killed and could only be anesthetized with drugs. He later took on a major crime to save his daughter-in-law, and Song Guangzhen "sent himself away"!
It is true that the heroine and her brother Xia Hengxuan are martyrs, but the Xia family has already bought off high-ranking officials, if the latter does not write a confession of anger and innocence, a little hypocritical and cunning, and the current affairs are Junjie, maybe he can see the day when the revolution is victorious. In the eyes of Sun Tianpu, a high-ranking member of the Nationalist Army, as long as people do not live, all beliefs and oaths will pass away with the wind.
After all, Xia Yuzhu was once an upright and kind Miss Qianjin, but she lurked for the revolution, pretending to lie and deceive every day, and even killing people and being assassinated by her son. Even she herself was slightly disgusted, but it was difficult to extricate herself. The villain once shouted that "the army is the dagger and tool of the government", which seems to be an extreme statement, but it makes people think of it!
After Xia Yuzhu was arrested in Taiwan, she gave her former good sister a last word, "If a belief has to prove itself by eliminating other different beliefs, then this belief is not necessarily correct", and then she laughs and dies! The two sisters decided to win or lose, but Gu Shuangju won over the crowd.
From the delicate lady to the bitter underground party, from stealing intelligence to not being suspicious of identity, Xia Yuzhu and Gu Shuangju, the good sisters who had suffered once became mortal enemies, and their pure hearts had long been distorted and destroyed by their respective beliefs! The whole drama shows a variety of small characters that come to life, as well as the hot and cold world at the end of the Wang puppet government.
In the days when "Kite" swept ratings and classic word of mouth, "Red Rose", which was beaten in the same period, lost! In fact, this drama shows the complex human nature and dirty politics in the chaotic world, but because of the various loopholes and commercial needs of the story, the story is stretched to 48 episodes and ended badly, reduced to an ordinary soap opera with sincerity.
Back to the tragedy of Xia Yuzhu, she once took out a bright red rose during a chat, and I found the shocking meaning of the title. The fierce and resolute strength of the red rose swaying in the wind is on the surface to praise the brave and fearless revolutionary heroes who are determined to die, but in fact, the "revolution" of the red rose stems from bloodshed, and the bones are extremely dangerous!
