The first two works have a good reputation, so the show has quickly caused a craze of onlookers since its inception and has become a highlight of the popularity list.
Subsequently, the life drama "If Running Is My Life", which premiered on January 11, also won wide acclaim. The whole drama is based on bravely facing life difficulties and inspiration, which deeply touched the audience and created a new height for life-themed film and television dramas.
This year's boom in big-budget film and television dramas has almost become the focus, but among them, a low-budget TV series stands out, called "Dog Run". This low-budget short drama with only 24 episodes quickly topped the hit list after it was broadcast on CCTV 8 and iQiyi, becoming a dark horse.
On January 25, "Dog Leftover Run" was broadcast on CCTV 8 and iQiyi platform, and the ratings of the first broadcast immediately exceeded 22%。This achievement has been remarkable, especially considering that at the end of last year, CCTV 8 and Tencent** broadcast "Flowers", the premiere rating of more than 2% has been considered quite good. And the performance of "Dog Leftover Run" surpassed "Flowers" and became a "proud" existence.
Up to now, the broadcast of "Dog Leftover Run" has brought some small surprises to the film and television industry in the New Year; What exactly makes Dog Run so popular?
First of all, let's look at the theme of this drama. Although "Dog Leftovers Run" is an anti-Japanese light comedy, it may be misunderstood as similar to previous anti-Japanese dramas on the surface. However, after careful **, you will find that this drama is completely different from the anti-Japanese dramas of the past, and its unique storyline makes people shine.
Next, let's focus on the cast. There is no shortage of old faces in "Dog Left", but almost all of the leading actors are newcomers. Although they are newcomers, their acting skills are quite amazing, and they are fully qualified to perform in this drama, and even surpass some well-known traffic stars in terms of acting strength.
The story mainly revolves around the protagonist Dog Leftover, "Dog Leftover Run" tells the story of his initial choice to join the army for personal reasons, and after a series of events, he continued to grow, and finally gave up his small family to become a big country and became a real soldier of the New Fourth Army.
Gou Yu was adopted by Wang Daju's family when he was young, and then studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple for ten years. Wang Daju's family has two children, the son Wang Mao has IQ problems, and the daughter Xing'er is the village flower of the village, beautiful and popular.
At the beginning of the plot, Gou Yu left the Shaolin Temple and went home, choosing to climb over the wall to enter. At the door of his house, he happened to meet Xing'er who was going to the thatched house. As soon as the dog came home, he made the chickens and dogs jump at home, first knocking down Wang Mao's sweet potato, and then letting Xing'er misunderstand him for peeking at her to go to the toilet. This series of events begins with an element of comedy, setting the tone for the whole story to be lighthearted and humorous.
The villagers gathered at Wang Daju's house to celebrate, and learned that the dog had stayed in the Shaolin Temple for ten years and returned home. I hope that he will show the martial arts he learned in the temple, but in fact, the dog has only carried water in the Shaolin Temple for ten years, but under the urgent expectation of the villagers, he has to perform the "water carrying skill".
After the performance, everyone laughed at his "three-legged cat kung fu", especially Yang San took the opportunity to humiliate the dog. In the ridicule of everyone, Wang Daju felt that he couldn't hold his face, and only Wang Maoniang sincerely comforted the dog. Gou Yu was furious, smashed the table with one palm, causing silence in the audience, and became a celebrity in the village.
However, the return of the dog left caused trouble for Yang San, because he was a rival who liked Xing'er. In order to marry Xing'er, Yang San deliberately added Wang Mao to the conscription list, threatening that as long as Xing'er agreed to follow him, Wang Mao's name could be crossed out, but Xing'er never compromised.
Later, this list was also taken away by the communication soldier by mistake, and after the dog learned about it, his heart surged with complicated emotions. First of all, he was shocked by Yang San's replacement, and couldn't help but question the mysterious arrangement of fate in his heart. This event became a watershed moment in his life and triggered deep reflections on his destiny and responsibility.
After learning of this situation, Gou Yu did not choose to remain silent, but chose to take action. He was not just motivated by selfishness, but in his pursuit of personal happiness, he also took on a greater responsibility. Deciding to follow Mulan's example, he resolutely replaced Wang Mao and embarked on the road of joining the army without hesitation. This decision is not only an insistence on personal feelings, but also a commitment to the responsibility of the state.
The motivation of the dog is not just to pursue love, but is deeply rooted in the love of family and country. Although his original intention was to win the heart of Apricot, he gradually grew up in the army, and his sense of responsibility to the country and the people gradually sublimated. Far from being a mere individualist, he was a hero who realized in the midst of war that life and death were inextricably linked to the fate of his country.
After becoming a soldier, Goyu showed amazing talent and perseverance. He excelled in training, not only with great strength but also with an accurate shot. This is not accidental, but stems from the special training he received at the Shaolin Temple since childhood. In battle, he did not hesitate to eliminate an enemy soldier with superb marksmanship, showing his extraordinary combat talent.
However, the brutality of war is also fully understood in the immersive presence of the dog left. He witnessed the sacrifice of his comrades on the battlefield and felt the ruthlessness and horror of war. The original selfish decision became insignificant at this moment, and he let go of his personal desires and truly became a heroic warrior who fought for his country.
Dog Left to Run" presents a distinctly comedic style, similar to the previous work "Hands Up".
