Breaking through that scale, this domestic drama is really more fierce than "Hurricane", and its momentum soars into the sky

The immersive young generation presents unlimited opportunities and challenges in front of them. They are full of hope, but they are also deeply confused about their ideals and future. During this period, many film and television works vividly showed scenes of surging blood and youth, such as "Sunny Days", "Days Related to Youth", "Blood Romance" and so on.

And the recently released period drama set in the 80s is even more unrestrained and bold.

The starring lineup is strong, with Han Dongjun, Jia Hongxiao, Zhang Youhao, Gan Yunchen, Ma Quinoa, etc. The feature film premiered in Chinese mainland on November 17, 2023, with 30 episodes of 45 minutes each.

"The Year of Fire" focuses on the 80s of the last century, focusing on a group of young people who have experienced turmoil and changes of the times. Against the backdrop of thriving gangs and gangs, violent clashes were commonplace. The addition of fists and feet in the fierce fighting, the fierce battles of knives, guns and sticks, and the bloody and cruel ** scenes made the audience feel the pinnacle of a real crime. This TV series is supervised by Wen Muye, the director of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the art director is also from the team of "I am not the God of Medicine", and the screenwriter and editing director are from the elite team of "Miracle Stupid Child".

Led by these guys who know how to be realistic and ghostly, the level of the whole show has also stabilized to a higher level. Up to now, more than 20,000 people have scored on Douban, and the overall score is as high as 81 point.

The plot is set in Yannan City in the early 80s, focusing on several friends with different personalities and close relationships. The first to appear on the stage was Xu Weibiao, a middle-aged person, obsessed with "Shanghai Tang", shouting to become a heroic hero like Xu **. But the problem is that his academic performance has not been good since he was a child, he has repeated a lot of grades, and he can't find an outlet for catharsis when he is enthusiastic.

He was followed by Zhang Peng, who was cautious and cautious about money. This product still has a little bit of petty theft skills at hand, and is not afraid of trouble, constantly trying all kinds of shortcuts to make money, but has not been able to make a big gain.

Let's have a different tone of hair, it is Lin Zhihua, don't look at the first two who have been laughing at him as a "nerd", this guy is a scholar in everyone's mind. Because of his outstanding academic performance, Xu Weibiao and Zhang Peng always used him as a joke. These three young friends are studying in the same school and living at similar addresses, and they have slowly become each other's iron buddies.

Often under the leadership of Zhang Peng, a group of them go to the train station to work for passengers, just to make some pocket money. Although from time to time, they encounter peers snatching customers and stealing jobs, and even escalate into fist-to-flesh conflicts, these days of finding fun in difficult situations have also become rare life experiences.

It wasn't until they got to know two other partners that the wheel of fate began to spin in an uncontrollable direction. Entertainment options were scarce in the 80s, and video halls and dance halls became the most frequented places by young people. In addition, there are some underground boxing rings, which are popular places for young people who are full of enthusiasm.

Tucked away in the dark corners of the city, those secret underground fighting arenas are fought in equally brutal ways, unfettered by any rules and laws.

Wang Lei, a young man who lives in poverty and is born with ** consciousness, stepped into the black boxing ring in order to make a living, and thus met Xu Weibiao in the gambling boxing circle.

At the warm invitation of Xu Weibiao, Wang Lei joined this small group.

At the same time, the luxurious song and dance hall gathered the wealthy people of Yannan City, including Zhong Yunan, the son of the second master of Chengnan Zhong.

Zhang Peng skillfully seized Zhong Yunan's wallet in the dance hall, and in the process of escaping, he was accidentally involved in the kidnapping of Zhong Yunan.

He and Xu Weibiao successfully rescued the injured Zhong Yunan and sent him home against all odds.

As a result, several people became confidants and brothers, and the five-member group was officially formed.

Due to the lack of police force and the lag of criminal investigation methods, Yannan City in the 80s has been turbulent, and incidents of violations of law and discipline have emerged one after another.

People who rose to prominence between black and white began to build their own factions, gang fights, and various forces were intricate.

Zhong Yu Nan's father, Zhong Erye, is a celebrity in the south of the city, but despite being born in such a powerful family, Zhong Yu Nan, who has always enjoyed superior treatment, has not been favored by his father.

In order to prove his ability in front of his father, Zhong Yunan found a way to get rich.

Simon is about to move away, but most of the residents don't want to leave. Real estate developers promise that as long as someone can drive away the "nail household", there will be a generous reward.

Upon learning the news, Zhong Yu Nan gathered the other four brothers and prepared to meddle in this money-making matter.

They tried their best to find a way, but in the end they were defeated by a well-respected diehard.

To make matters worse, they became involved in a bitter conflict with another gang of people chasing the same fortune, and formed a bond with this faction.

The leader of this force is an iron-fisted man named He Erqing. After being exposed for illegal acts, he had to flee to the northeast to escape a turmoil, and returned to Yannan City many years later.

He Erqing came back this time and became even more ruthless. He not only cleaned up the people who exposed him in the first place, but also slaughtered Yannan City with his subordinates.

All forces gathered in Wanhetang to discuss how to deal with this tricky guy. However, He Erqing was undaunted and went straight into Wanhetang, exerting coercion and temptation on everyone.

The previous major leaders of Yannan City have all entered middle and old age, and they can't fight against him, so they can only watch him do whatever he wants.

He Erqing actively recruited his subordinates, took over dance halls, vegetable markets and other places, and also colluded with real estate developers to become a highly sought-after force.

Because of the alliance with He Erqing and his subordinates, Xu Weibiao and his party suffered retaliation.

First of all, when Wang Lei went out, his mother at home was brutally killed by Change.

Then, Zhong Yu Nan's family was beheaded by the whole family, and only he and his sister survived.

The lives of these five young men were like climbing over a huge mountain and becoming unrecognizable.

Zhong Yu Nan was determined to take revenge, and he found his father's former brothers, but they all shook their heads and ignored them. At this point, their past becomes an insurmountable chasm.

Wang Lei watched his relatives pass away, and the darkness in his heart began to spread, and he embarked on a blackening road towards revenge. During this journey, he gradually transformed into an emotionless fighting machine. And Xu Weibiao had the righteousness of the rivers and lakes in his heart, and did not hesitate to lend a helping hand and became a solid support behind Wang Lei. Although Zhang Peng was timid, he bravely joined the battle under the influence of Xu Weibiao. At the same time, Lin Zhihua escaped the storm under the trick of fate, and his life trajectory was very different from ...... other brothers

How will they end their hatred with Herqing?What kind of contradictions and fateful tests will the five brothers endure?These questions cannot be answered in advance, and the audience can only do it in the follow-up plot.

As a gripping period drama, "The Year of Fire" is remarkable in showing the atmosphere of the times. From the alleys and water towers of old Beijing, to dance halls and video stores in the 80sFrom black-and-white TVs, huge mobile phones and other items, to the popular ** and TV series at the time, every detail in the play has been vividly restored.

In the picture comparable to a movie, it shows the ups and downs of young people in that era and the humanistic characteristics of society. I believe that those viewers who have experienced that period will definitely find resonance in these scenes and plots.

This drama is unique and is based on a true story. At the beginning and end of each episode, there are those weathered archetypal characters who are now middle-aged and elderly, with a heavy Beijing ** in their mouths, vividly telling the real crimes that happened around us back then. This group of old men recalls the passionate and changing years of the year, as if the audience has experienced a time travel. Their memories are both passionate and turbulent, but also deeply reflective of the realities of that era.

This treatment not only brings the audience into the situation of that era with rapid momentum, allowing them to immerse themselves in the charming atmosphere of the plot, but also has a profound significance as a pioneer of law popularization.

A classic line in the play says: "Friendship and law are two different things." Laws are meant to protect people, but friendship is not. "In an era of turbulence and weak rule of law, friendship has become an important criterion for young people to judge right and wrong and make moral choices.

Different from the traditional gangster theme, "The Year of Fire" starts with brotherhood, however, after a series of depictions of romantic ideals, the plot finally focuses on realistic issues: whether it is a grievance or a gangster conflict, whether it is acting for justice or revenge, the bottom line of the rule of law cannot be crossed, and it must be fulfilled and practiced in a legal way. Once beyond the shackles of the law, everyone can fall into the enslavement of desires and emotions.
