So far, the spy war-themed TV series "Cliff" has become a classic that cannot be surpassed, which is also a generally accepted view by the majority of audiences.
Those viewers who love spy war dramas understand that the core characteristics of spy war dramas lie in their tense and exciting plots, otherwise it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience. Therefore, a good spy war drama must make people experience thrilling and excitement in a tense and intense atmosphere, and at the same time have a sense of suspense, so as to attract and impress the audience.
However, if only this basic condition is met, this is only a superficial requirement, because it is only a struggle full of intrigue and violence, and any choreographer with a little experience is capable of doing it.
It is commendable that after the excitement and excitement, if it can still move people to tears and have a long aftertaste, then it is necessary to put more energy and energy into showing real kung fu. "The Cliff" is one such work. It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of "Cliff" in this field can be described as impeccable.
This passage reveals to us a universal fact: the so-called classics are not just superficial battles and struggles, let alone emotional entanglements between men and women, but the emotional strings that deeply touch people's hearts and touch people's hearts - emotion!
In the work "Cliff", Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan show a deep emotion that transcends comrades-in-arms, friends, husband and wife, and even blood and flesh and blood, which brings a huge blow to those of us who are accustomed to seeing the enemy defeat and bring us victory, and gives us a deeper understanding of the profound connotation of human nature.
The love in "Cliff" is not pure love, but a kind of spiritual sublimation, a kind of spiritual purification, and a kind of improvement of the state of life. This is undoubtedly the best and classic part of the work "The Cliff"!
However, some people, out of kindness and innocence at heart, have always had the same view of Gu Qiuyan: they think she is too opinionated, indulgent, and lacks the qualities that a veteran underground worker should have. So, he arranged her in the middle of the "three forces" and let her act as his protector.
Because of her absurd behavior, Zhou Yi and the entire organization were exposed to great risks, which eventually led to Zhou Yi's loss of life. Therefore, it is widely believed that this is an illogical mistake, a glaring shortcoming and a blunder.
Referring to this, we have to mention the character of Cui Ping in "Latent". In the film, she plays a mysterious woman who carries out secret missions under the leadership of the underground party. Cui Ping didn't know anything about words at all in the secret mission disguised as a husband and wife, and she had no ** experience at all, so it was counterproductive to let such a person become ** on the tip of the knife.
In response to this unusual situation, the explanation given by the choreographer is: The original plan was to let the higher-quality sister Qiu Ping take on this important task, but unfortunately Qiu Ping died unexpectedly on the way here, and in desperation, she could only temporarily hold on to her sister Cui Ping, who looked very similar to Qiu Ping, to replace her.
In the comparison, although Gu Qiuyan pretended to be husband and wife, her situation with Cui Ping was very different. Gu was a spy trained by the Comintern, and he was a well-educated and highly trained veteran. She didn't have any reason to create problems that shouldn't happen like Cui Ping.
So, why did the choreographer decide to let Gu Qiuyan do this?In fact, once we understand this question and unravel it, it is equivalent to unlocking the lock of misunderstanding Gu Qiuyan.
Due to the length of the article, a few specific cases will be briefly analyzed below in order to answer this difficult puzzle.
1. Asking others to get in touch with people on the mountain without permission, which has led to serious consequences.
Zhou Yi repeatedly stressed that the use of the same frequency and place for secondary broadcasting can help the enemy determine the location of the station, which is a strictly forbidden act. Although the anti-union on the mountain did not receive any telegrams, Gu decided to send the message again.
When Zhou Yi had already used carrier pigeons to transmit information to the mountain (because this was highly confidential, Gu could not be let know), Gu insisted on getting in touch with his brother-in-law and secretly sent a message to the mountain, causing the brother-in-law and his girlfriend to be easily captured by the enemy. Although the little uncle would rather choose death than betray Gu Qiuyan, this led to the death of the little uncle and his girlfriend.
On this issue, Zhou Gu and the two had an in-depth conversation:
Zhou asked: Why do you need a second press release?
A: Considering the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of people on the mountain, sometimes it's totally worth taking some risks.
Zhou said: The risk you take does not belong to one person.
Gu A: If there had been a minute's delay on the mountain without receiving a telegram, then hundreds or even thousands of people might have lost their lives!
Zhou responded: Yes, that's exactly what they need to pay for a minute wasted.
Gu commented: This is really too cruel?
"It's very cruel, so he asks us to never make any mistakes," Zhou said. This is my first time posting. Because you sent the message again, the National Police Agency has determined the location of the radio station, and if there are not a large number of houses here, we will be exposed. I mean, it wasn't a simple accident. As a professionally trained person, how could you make such a fundamental mistake.
Gu said: There are hundreds, if not thousands, of comrades-in-arms gathered on the mountain, and our first duty is to ensure their safety, our lives are lives, and their lives are also lives.
Zhou said: We should not look at this issue this way. In secret battles, sacrifice is not something to be proud of, it is easy to want to sacrifice to become a martyr, but the real difficulty is how to avoid sacrifice.
Gu said: If the sacrifices we make can be exchanged for their lives, then I think such a sacrifice is meaningful.
Zhou said: I have two questions, and I don't want to talk to you too much. However, I must admit that anyone can do it, whether it's singing or performing, but high doesn't lead to real victory.
Gu said: I didn't choose to sing in a high-profile manner.
Obviously, Gu Qiuyan didn't really realize the importance of the mistake she made. In the process of forging the sword, she found some problems, but they could have been avoided and corrected. Therefore, she continued to follow the wrong path until she made a major mistake.
We must be clear that Gu Qiuyan violated the rules of the secret front and caused losses, and her mistake is indisputable. Everyone knows that. However, when Zhou Yi proposed to his superior, Lao Wei, that Gu be transferred from the mountain, Lao Wei revealed that Gu's husband was on the mountain, which allowed Zhou Yi to understand her feelings as a woman and wife.
This touches on the issue of human nature.
If Gu Qiuyan is indifferent to her husband's life and death, it is undoubtedly deliberately exaggerated to make the character look unreal. From this point of view, Gu's impulsive behavior is more in line with people's normal psychological needs, so it is more authentic and credible.
The story of "Golden Vase" in "Golden Vase Plum" is artistically processed on this basis. At the same time, let the lesson of blood make Gu completely awake, which became an important turning point in her thinking, and since then her trust in Zhou Yi has changed to worship and admiration, making the contradictions and conflicts of the story more dramatic, conflicting and sharp.
Isn't this kind of character image better and more convincing than those common tall and fake characters?
Second, although Zhou Yi had been safely evacuated, Gu Qiuyan, an equally important person, chose not to evacuate, which led to her being arrested by the enemy because of her child.
It's a joke that confuses so many of my friends. This question arises mainly from two factors.
First of all, it is easy to draw conclusions without carefully reading the plot, or ignoring the description of the details.
The plot development of the drama "The Cliff" relies entirely on the superb acting skills of the actors, rather than any narration. After watching it, the audience will feel that it is very real. If you don't hear or see those short words, then you may have misread the plot that follows. In the film, there are many scenes and character relationships that are different from real life. For example, regarding the withdrawal of Zhou and Gu.
Lao Wei told Zhou Yi: Lao Zhou, I have good news for you, the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee has decided to end all your missions now and cross the border into the Soviet Union with your family, considering the risks you may face at any time. Your family has already taken up residence there. Lao Zhou, now is the time for your family to reunite, and your difficult days are completely over.
Zhou Yi didn't show obvious joy or excitement, but immediately asked Gu Qiuyan what to do
Lao Wei said that he had originally planned to let Sasha cross the border into the Soviet Union with him, but that it was unacceptable for the Soviet intelligence services to leave the Comvice without the approval of the head when she left the Comintern that year, so he decided to let her stay and have other plans.
Obviously, on the topic of evacuation, the choreographer has made a clear statement. Unfortunately, some of my friends mistakenly think that this is an illogical mistake without noticing this small detail.
There are similar problems with regard to the problems faced by children.
Zhou Yi expressed this opinion: If she and Sasha's goals are too ambitious, I will take Sasha away, so that she will be safer alone.
Wei said: I have also considered this issue, but Gu Qiuyan does not agree.
"If you can tell me where she is, I'll do her job," Zhou said.
When Sasha and Zhou Yi met, they excitedly shouted for their dad and dad rushed into his arms, and Zhou Yi kissed Sasha without hesitation. "Dad, you're a good dad!Faced with such a situation and scenery, Gu Qiuyan turned her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes.
I don't love you, why are you so sad?After Sasha left, Zhou Gu hugged the other person closely. They spent six years in a room on a journey of life and death, withstood the test of blood and fire, and their emotions were difficult to describe in words as they saw the two worlds about to separate.
Zhou said: I will take Sasha out of here.
Gu said: If Sasha leaves me, I will have nothing.
Zhou said: Once Manchukuo collapses, your husband and daughter will return to you.
Gu asked: Have you ever thought about my emotions?You're a good girl. For the past six years, I've been able to persevere because of Sasha's presence. I can't accept that you're going to take her so far away.
Zhou said: I think it's risky for Sasha to follow you.
Gu expressed this concern: Even if I am caught by Gao Bin one day, will they really be able to take action against the child?
Zhou warned: You should not exaggerate Gao Bin's qualities, because in an emergency, they can accomplish almost anything. You know, he's not an ordinary person. Qiu Yan, you need to be more calm.
Gu said: Why do you want me to be sane?After so many years of sober thinking, what exactly have I gained?
Zhou asked: Are you thinking about your future, or are you thinking about Sasha's fate?
Gu said: What am I thinking?He's my husband now, and I'm going to give him an explanation. When have you ever thought about my emotions? The fate of my husband Zhang Pingru in the mountains is not yet clear, and everything except for my children is gone (tears streaming down my face).
Zhou said: As time goes by, you will gradually realize that it is the right choice for me to take Sasha away.
Gu responded: Yes, you are right, you are right at all times, what moment did you miss (isn't this something that is only said when a couple argues)?
Zhou said to Qiu Yan: Qiu Yan, what happened to you, I don't have time to think about it now, you need to think about it for Sasha, I really beg you!
Gu told me: Hurry up, hurry up
Through this series of dialogues and behaviors, the feelings between Zhou Gu and the two have been vividly depicted. This also reveals the following issues:
1. Gu did not choose to evacuate, this is completely an organizational decision, not a personal decision.
2. As a woman, the mother of a child, at this particular moment, although sometimes overly emotional, her emotional state is completely acceptable and understandable.
If we sincerely think about this scene from the other party's point of view, understand and compare with our hearts, and sincerely exchange each other's emotions, then will we still have any contradictions and confusions about the continued existence of Gu Qiuyan and Sasha?
3. The misunderstanding about the end of "The Cliff" is mainly because reason occupies a dominant position, but ignores the inner strength of people.
After Zhou Yi and his wife and children got out of danger, he learned the news of Sasha's disappearance, and as a professional **, he quickly understood the truth of the matter. He immediately rushed to the scene and killed him without warning.
He did not hesitate to return alone, and in exchange for his own life, he ensured the safety of Gu Qiuyan and her mother. Some friends feel that this violates the discipline and basic common sense expected of underground workers, and is an obvious mistake and mistake.
In fact, this is precisely the neglect of the following core issues:
1. Zhou Yi's ** career has come to an end. In other words, at this moment, he is no longer a **. Therefore, his return is not unhindered in terms of organizational discipline.
2. On the basis of the relationship between Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan's mother and daughter, Zhou decided to return at this moment and fight for it with his life, which is the powerful energy brought by the light of human nature. If this were not the case, wouldn't all the previous emotions become contrived and hypocritical!
3. As for whether Zhou Yi was able to endure severe torture without divulging the secrets of the organization, it was entirely because Zhou Yi had full confidence in himself. In certain historical contexts, bamboo sticks were made from bamboo, and the Communists held a rock-solid determination, and such heroic acts were not uncommon during the revolutionary war.
4. In the end, what Zhou Yi said to Lao Wei became more powerful and convincing:
Zhou Yi expressed this point of view: In my career as a **, many comrades unfortunately sacrificed their lives to protect me. I am an ordinary Communist Party member, and I should be an ordinary person. Now that I have successfully completed my task, I am no longer the person who matters, and I have no right to let others make sacrifices for me.
The implicit meaning here is obvious: I would rather sacrifice my life to ensure the absolute emotional safety of Gu Qiuyan and her mother.
Before Zhou Yi walked into the execution field, Gao Bin asked him if he had any other topics to share, and Zhou Yi responded that he wanted to meet with Sasha.
Gao Bin asked: Don't you want to see Gu Qiuyan?
Zhou Yi paused for a moment, and then said: No need.
When Sasha cried silently to her father and threw her father into Zhou Yi's arms, Zhou Yi's tears poured down like rain and she cried out loud uncontrollably.
Zhou Yi told Sasha: When I go back, tell my mother that my love for you is deep.
In fact, this also explains why Zhou Yi didn't see Gu Qiuyan. Because he was surrounded by enemies, he not only arranged a meeting with Gu Qiuyan, but what kind of communication could the two have. Therefore, the last words left before the goodbye can only be brought back by the children in the end.
Zhang Jiayi, the actor who plays Zhou Yi, mentioned in a talk show that since he participated in the performance of "Cliff", he decided not to participate in spy war dramas anymore, because that drama made him deeply shocked and burst into tears.
Song Jia, who plays Gu Qiuyan, said that when he witnessed the scene of Zhou Yi hugging Sasha and crying tightly on TV, she couldn't suppress her emotions and felt that Zhang Jiayi's performance was too involved.
Many of my friends mentioned in my previous comment section that every time they saw this scene, they couldn't help but turn around and shed tears of emotion. I think this is a kind of happiness, and it is the best memory for each of us to remember our loved ones!A mother described in the text: The child asked her, Mom, why are you crying?Mom told him that he was seeing off the heroes. She expressed her mother's deep condolences for the martyrs' sacrifices.
Suddenly the gunshots rang out. Zhou Yi was hit by the enemy's guns and fell.
The outstanding soldiers, great fathers, and true men of our party have not only successfully fulfilled the sacred tasks entrusted to him by the party, but also assumed the responsibilities and responsibilities that a man should have. His heroic behavior that shook the world and moved the ghosts and gods made every audience present shocked and couldn't calm down.
That's probably the unique attraction of art!
I think that if we can understand these things deeply, we will deeply understand why Zhou Yi is willing to dedicate himself to "The Cliff" without reservation, so that we can completely solve all doubts about this work, exhale deeply, and be moved by the touching light of humanity.
