The classic TV series is loved because the stories and characters in them have been deeply polished and researched.
When viewers watch a high-quality film or television work, they usually find pleasure in the dual process of appreciating and appreciating.
"The Cliff" is such a masterpiece that will be savored again and again.
In the previous parsing process, we delved into the backstory related to The Cliff.
From this episode, we will delve into the various characters in the play.
Immediately after that, we will start with a key character in the play - Lu Ming.
In the movie "Cliff", in addition to Gao Bin (played by Cheng Yu), Lu Ming (played by Li Hongtao) is undoubtedly the most critical supporting role.
In every action performed by Zhou Yi (played by Zhang Jiayi), Lu Ming always shows up.
There is an opinion that Lu Ming is a cunning, mean, and shameless person;
There is an opinion that Lu Ming is a low-key character who has been providing cover for Zhou Yi. If the sequel to "The Cliff" appears, he is likely to become the second to succeed Zhou Yi**.
So, what kind of individual is Lu Ming? Let's look at this question from a few different angles.
Lu Ming's continued doubts about Zhou Yi revealed the depths of his heart.
1. In the work "Cliff", when Gu Qiuyan and Zhou Yi first met, Lu Ming had already noticed the "abnormal behavior" shown by Zhou Yi and his wife.
According to Lao Wei's plan, Gu Qiuyan learned that Zhou Yi would wear square sunglasses, which was also her way of identifying Zhou Yi.
However, in the process of arresting Professor Jin, Liu Kui accidentally stepped on Zhou Yi's sunglasses.
Zhou Yi didn't wear sunglasses after getting off the train, and Gu Qiuyan almost mistakenly thought that Lu Ming, who was wearing round sunglasses, was Zhou Yi.
Lu Ming almost mistook her husband, a small detail that made his facial expression look very uncomfortable and caused him some doubts.
2. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yi's ** attracted Lu Ming's attention again.
Sun Yuejian and his team provided medicine to the anti-union forces on the mountain, but the news leaked, so Gao Bin formulated a strict plan of action.
Zhou Yi explained the whole situation to Gu Qiuyan in Russian in a small shop on the street, under the pretext of buying cigarettes, and hoped that she could inform Lao Wei to adopt corresponding measures.
Zhou Yi's ** was accidentally seen by Lu Ming, and although Zhou Yi tried to avoid it, Lu Ming's mysterious gaze deeply reflected his doubts about Zhou Yi.
3. In the two articles released by Gu Qiuyan, although Zhou Yi tried to cover up the past, Lu Ming still found the subtleties.
This is the first time, in order to avoid Japanese reconnaissance vehicles, Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan fled to a high-density residential area to report.
After the newspaper was released, Zhou Yi safely sent Gu Qiuyan out of the police department's search area, and then returned to the scene where the report was issued, and placed the box containing the transmitter in the trunk.
At that time, Lu Ming also took out a box containing prohibited items, intending to place it in Zhou Yi's car, and when he opened the trunk, he found a box containing a transmitter.
Lu Ming asked a question and said, "Hey, is there anything else." ”
Zhou Yi used the phrase "my wife's" to perfunctory.
In the second incident, Zhou Yi took Gu Qiuyan up the mountain to convey the news, but was unfortunately discovered by the Japanese soldiers who set up the line. Zhou Yi killed several Japanese soldiers and was wounded himself. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese soldiers, Gu Qiuyan chose to jump off the cliff to escape.
When Lu Ming arrived at the place of the incident, his eyes fell on Zhou Yi, and he said for the first time: Captain Zhou's arrival is really fast!
He returned in Zhou Yi's car and said the second sentence in the car: Your face doesn't seem to be very good!
Lu Ming inadvertently said a few words, directly pointing out Zhou Yi's doubts.
Although Lu Ming did not verbally express his doubts about Zhou Yi, the doubts in his heart had undoubtedly intensified further.
Zhou Yi revealed many unknown details in front of Lu Ming, which caused Lu Ming to have doubts about Zhou Yi never stopped.
It is for this reason that at the end of the TV series, Lu Ming's denunciation and in-depth analysis of Zhou Yi finally convinced Gao Bin that Zhou Yi was a major suspect, which was also the reason why Zhou Yi ** and finally sacrificed.
Why did Lu Ming entangle Zhou Yi so much?
There are three main factors involved behind this:
1. Zhou Yi's behavior in daily life has been described as "too different".
Zhou Yi is a very serious and very upright person.
However, it was precisely because of his excessive integrity that he seemed out of place in the social atmosphere of the time.
In this police department full of all kinds of activities, it is despicable to disguise themselves as police officers, who indulge in eating, drinking, ** and gambling and do almost nothing.
Zhou Yi is like a breath of fresh air in the police force, and he has few other activities other than enjoying good wine and food.
As Lu Ming described: "Zhou Yi always hides himself deeply. ”
A flawless person, in the perspective of a colleague, often appears different, giving a sense of being different and thus attracting more attention.
2. After observing some subtleties of Zhou Yi, Lu Ming noticed his weakness, and this curiosity aroused his determination to continue the investigation.
In the movie "Latent", Yu Zecheng (played by Sun Honglei) made such a deeply rooted sentence: "As a **, you must be full of curiosity, but at the same time, you must also show an attitude of disinterest." ”
For **, curiosity is an indispensable quality, which is also one of the key factors for Lu Ming to track Zhou Yi.
3. Out of jealousy, Lu Ming eagerly wanted to pull Zhou Yi into a predicament.
Through the plot, we know that Lu Ming is not only a head of the Special Service Section, but also the third person in charge of the Special Service Section.
When Gao Bin started assigning work to Zhou Yi, he first considered Zhou Yi, and if Zhou Yi was not there, he would assign the work to Lu Ming.
In the police department, Lu Ming's qualifications were not inferior to Zhou Yi's, but he had to obey Zhou Yi's orders, which made him extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
Therefore, all the actions taken by Lu Ming are to compete with Zhou Yi in the hope of finding Zhou Yi's mistakes in his career.
Lu Ming's view has a long history.
At the beginning of the TV series, Zhou Yi was promoted and rewarded after completing the task in the Guannei, although the audience applauded and celebrated him, but Lu Ming didn't care about it.
At that moment, Lu Ming's face showed strong dissatisfaction and "dissatisfaction".
At the end of the TV series, Lu Ming notices that Zhou Yi fires the servants at home and receives a large amount of cash at the bank, while also applying for two border passes. This made him immediately think that Zhou Yi might want to escape, so he expressed his doubts to Gao Bin.
At this critical moment, Lu Ming finally succeeded in defeating Zhou Yi with great effort, so that his plan to ascend to the throne was successfully realized.
There is no bottom line at all, human nature is cold, enough to make people hate to the core.
Lu Ming, as a core member of the puppet Manchurian Police Agency, always had the determination to usurp power, and he did not hesitate to take all kinds of measures against the anti-Japanese activists who resisted Manchuria.
For example, the interrogation of Sun Yuejian and Gu Qiuyan was both planned by Lu Ming, especially in the case of Sun Yuejian, who brought in a box of rats and tied Sun Yuejian's trouser legs, and then put the rats in her pants.
When people think of rats crawling all over their bodies and biting them, many people feel creepy.
In the drama "Cliff", in addition to the plots such as chasing Lao Wang, conducting a criminal trial on Xiao Dong, kidnapping Sasha and shooting patriots, Lu Ming also committed many evil deeds.
Those viewers who have experienced this drama deeply feel that it is very appropriate to describe Lu Ming with a description of "insidious and vicious, ruthless, conscience, and unscrupulous".
Summary section. In the work "Cliff", the character of Lu Ming has a changeable and complex personality, he has no bottom line when he does things, he is always in a hurry, and wants to get ahead, but his edge is not popular with people.
Li Hongtao's Lu Ming performed very well in this drama, and through various expressions, actions and lines, he successfully demonstrated the ability of an experienced veteran actor, shaping Lu Ming into a sinister, cunning and morally degraded character, making the audience have a deep hatred for him.
If Gao Bin played by Cheng Yu is a villain character who is hard to hate, then Lu Ming portrayed by Li Hongtao is undoubtedly a hated character.
