Recently, directed by Kong Sheng, starring Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, Dong Zijian, Yang Caiyu and other powerful actors, the contemporary drama "The Years of the Great River" is on the air and has been updated to the 33rd episode.
In the latest plot, Lei Dongbao wanted to teach his rebellious subordinates a lesson, but unexpectedly, the people of Xiaoleijia Village, who was supported by him, resisted with hoes because they did not receive labor insurance on time, and Dongbao was hit by this and suddenly suffered a stroke.
Under the guidance of Sishen's grandfather, Xiaohui found a way to negotiate with Luoda, and successfully put it into practice, and the two sides reached a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement. In the end, the protagonists Yang Xun, Lei Dongbao and Song Yunhui each took their families back to the village where they lived as children, sat around and toasted and drank together, ending this long and short story together, and they were happy.
After reading this story, my heart was filled with mixed emotions. I calmed down, sorted out this emotion, and wrote this article on this quiet night.
I must admit that the first half of the third work is the original plot of the screenwriter himself, and I was very worried at first, after all, there have been many attempts by screenwriters to adapt the original book in the past that have failed, which makes me feel uneasy.
The unexpectedly satisfactory result, the ingenious start and end of the Peng Yang line, even I, a person who has always been calm, sweat for Xiaohui's success, which shows the profound skills of the screenwriter.
However, it wasn't long before the joy arose. The plot gradually changed to Lei Dongbao's emotional entanglement, although this plot exists in the original book, I don't think there is any need to shoot it so carefully, after all, it conflicts with the core idea of the show, and it also makes people feel uncomfortable after watching it.
It turned out that in addition to the problem of too many emotional scenes, there were other external and internal factors that caused the director to have to delete the plot of 7 episodes, and this sudden plot jump made many viewers feel very distressed and even uncomfortable.
In addition, the lack of strong dramatic conflict in the plot near the end of the drama makes the audience feel that whether it is in the factory struggle or in the end of Toho, it seems to be taken for granted, even too bland, which is also an important reason for the drama's rating to plummet.
When I was about to be disappointed with this series, the two songs** "With Light and Dust" and "Respect" sounded in the finale, accompanied by paper airplanes circling in the sky, and the smiling faces of Song Yunhui and his sister, instantly brought tears to my eyes.
It may have been my ego touch, or it could have been my deep empathy for the plot, but seeing this, I immediately reconciled with the series. The history of the struggle of those fathers is replayed in my mind one by one, and some of them are like Xiaohui, who are upright and unswerving, and do not forget their original intentions; Some are like Yang Xun, who came from a humble background and have been working hard for life and their families; Some are like Lao Lei, who have experienced pain and setbacks, but also succeeded, suffered pain, and even experienced the life and death of their loved ones.
Together, they paved the way for us, and their resilience inspired us to move forward. Salute to the pioneers who have struggled in the past 40 years, and look forward to the next 40 years, we will no longer be confused, and continue to move forward after a short stop!
