As soon as "Punishment" was launched that year, it won many praises from the audience, such as "Best of the Year", "King of Drama of the Year", "Brain-burning Drama of the Year" and so on. Judging from the plot of the first ten episodes of the show, it does have many characteristics of "Wang Bang Drama", which is suitable for both a criminal investigation drama and a family palace fighting drama.
Punishment is a TV series that coexists with depth and drama. It opens with the sentence "It's too dark in Changwu", which sets a thought-provoking atmosphere.
The villains in the play, such as Zhao Xiaosheng's cunning and Zhao Pengchao's cleverness, left a deep impression. As the plot unfolds, various mysteries gradually surface, making people look forward to the subsequent development.
At present, there are three major mysteries that have attracted the most attention, and it is worth solving them one by one.
How many sons does the Zhao family have?The answer is deceptively simple, four sons: Zhao Pengzhan (disabled legs), Zhao Pengcheng (upright), Zhao Pengxiang (arrogant) and Zhao Pengchao (unfathomable).
However, the author speculates that the Zhao family may also have other sons hidden, for the following reasons: 1Four sons are not enough to cover all the members of the Zhao family, because the history and traditions of the Zhao family are very long.
2.The four sons of the Zhao family have obvious differences in personality and ability, and it is impossible to fully explain the characteristics of the other members of the Zhao family. 3.The Zhao family has shown unusual circumstances in past events, probably because they have hidden their other sons.
To sum up, the Zhao family may have more than four sons, and this mystery awaits our further exploration and reveal.
In the drama "Punishment", the tragic fate of Zhao Pengcheng, the second child of the Zhao family, has long been hinted at in the name of Wang Yang's "friendship starring" at the beginning of the film. And in the sixth episode, the strength of Zhao Pengchao, the fourth elder of the Zhao family, was undoubtedly revealed, leaving the eldest and third eldest of the Zhao family out of reach.
Finally, in the tenth episode, Zhao Xiaosheng announced in public that Zhao Pengchao was responsible for all the affairs of the Zhao family, which not only revealed Zhao Pengchao's status as the big boss, but also made the whole plot reach a climax.
Punishment" is a suspenseful brain-burning drama, the villains and protagonists will all reveal the mystery in the first ten episodes, and the next thirty episodes will be full of wits and courage battles between black and white. According to the direction of the plot, we look forward to more major reversals and more secrets of the Zhao family being revealed.
The Zhao family's round table is full of mystery, and its design is inspired by the Western Knights of the Round Table. There are twelve chairs and twelve dots on the round table, suggesting that there may be twelve central figures of the Zhao family.
In the tenth episode, we already know about Zhao Xiaosheng and his four sons, as well as his daughter-in-law Hana. Zhao Xiaosheng attaches great importance to blood relations, so the setting of the round table may mean that there are still six core figures in the Zhao family who have not appeared.
Among these characters, will there be other sons of the Zhao family?All this is curious and exciting.
In the intricate relationship, Zhao Xiaosheng's four sons belong to four mothers, of which the mother of the second child and the mother of the fourth child have been **. The crux of the matter lies in the fourth child's mother, Han Ya, executive vice mayor of Changwu City.
The relationship between Hana and the Zhao family is a little vague, on the one hand, she is Zhao Pengchao's mother, which proves that she had a close relationship with Zhao Xiaosheng back then. On the other hand, Hana was reluctant to let her son get too close to the Zhao family.
In addition, the relationship between Han Ya and Chang Zheng, the male number one in "Punishment" and the deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment, is also very delicate, Chang Zheng calls her Han Ma, and Han Ya has an excellent relationship with Chang Zheng's mother Lin Bai.
Chang Zheng's father, Chang Fei, as a police officer, encountered misfortune while tracking down the Zhao family's criminal gang. For this reason, Chang Zheng is determined to avenge his father and expose the crimes of this *** group.
However, Chang Fei's wife Lin Bai's attitude towards the Zhao family is incomprehensible, she not only shows extreme fear, but even proposes the idea of reconciliation.
In the cast list of "Punishment", we found that several key characters on both sides of black and white, such as Zhao Xiaosheng, Han Ya, Lin Bai, Chang Fei, and Xiao Zhenbang, have youth versions. This implies that the feud between them should have existed for decades, especially the relationship between Chang Fei, Lin Bai, Han Ya and Zhao Xiaosheng should be quite complicated.
To sum up, a series of signs indicate that the Zhao family may have more than four sons, so who will the fifth son be?Many viewers speculated: it could be a permanent sign.
In the drama "Punishment", the plot setting is somewhat similar to "Infernal Affairs", in which both sides have placed undercover agents in each other's camps. Among them, ** The undercover agent inside the Zhao family seems to have been revealed in the first few episodes.
This person is Tang Shaowen, the little butler of the Zhao family, he knows the accounts of the Zhao family's large group well, and his gambling skills are also very good, and he can win money from the casino almost at will.
There are many hints in the play that Tang Shaowen may be an undercover agent of **, the most obvious of which is that he reported to the leader of the secret task force that the third child of the Zhao family asked the lynx to take people to the airport to retaliate against Chang Zheng, and revealed to the secret task force that Zhao Xiaosheng woke up.
Judging from Tang Shaowen's speech and demeanor, his behavior does not match the image of the Zhao family, if he is really an undercover agent, it is estimated that the audience will be very excited.
1, is Tang Shaowen really an undercover agent?Or is he just an independent actor with his own special purpose?2. Is there only one undercover agent named Tang Shaowen in the huge Zhao family group?
*The inner ghost inside has always been a secret of the Zhao family**. Among the people at all levels who have already been **, almost everyone has the potential to be an internal ghost. You must know that the Zhao family's control of Changwu is far more than what can be seen on the surface, and there must be a group of unknown supporters behind it.
Zhang Qiufeng is one of the most suspicious characters in the play, and has repeatedly reported to Zhao Pengxiang, the third child of the Zhao family, and at the same time has a tense relationship with Chang Zheng. The incident in which Chang Zheng was assigned to the police station was also related to Zhang Qiufeng.
Although Zhang Qiufeng and Chang Zheng have been partners for many years, Chang Zheng can help the third child of the Zhao family pretend to be a horse boy to obtain information, can't Zhang Qiufeng?
In the first few episodes of "Punishment", Song Guangming, as Chang Zheng's partner, made his performance suspicious. He secretly followed Chang Zheng's actions many times and advised him and Ning Yu not to clash with the Zhao family, which made people suspect that he might be an internal ghost.
However, Song Guangming is a veteran policeman, and his negative attitude towards tracking down the Zhao family does not necessarily mean that he is an internal ghost, but may also be motivated by self-protection considerations.
Although Deputy Detachment Leader Li Bodong did not show up much, he could always impress people on key occasions. After the yacht ** case, he was the first to strongly support the immediate arrest of Chang Zheng, which is inconsistent with the basic quality of an old policeman.
As a leader who has been on the campaign for three years, his distrust of his old subordinates at this time makes him look suspicious. In addition, before Chang Fei's accident, Li Bodong, as Chang Fei's direct superior, behaved ghostly, and even Zhang Qiufeng expressed dissatisfaction with this.
What is even more suspicious is that he also showed no doubt about the intelligence of the two task forces arranged by the province for the Zhao family's big case. This makes people suspect that Li Bodong may have colluded with Zhao Pengchao, the fourth elder of the Zhao family.
Chang Zheng, the apprentice of Xiao Zhenbang, deputy director of the Changwu Public Security Bureau, has always been protected by Xiao Zhenbang, which makes people suspicious of Xiao Zhenbang. Before Chang Fei's accident, the person who called Li Bodong to suspend Chang Fei was Xiao Zhenbang, but whether this incident was fabricated by Li Bodong remains to be confirmed.
Why did Xiao Zhenbang suspend Chang Fei at a critical moment, and what is hidden behind this?is a matter that needs to be investigated in depth. In addition, the follow-up plot of "Punishment" shows Xiao Zhenbang in his youth, suggesting that he may have intersected with Zhao Xiaosheng, Chang Fei and others in his early years.
Although it is unlikely that Xiao Zhenbang is an internal ghost, this is still a question in the minds of the audience, and I hope this is not the case.
The fourth elder of the Zhao family and Zhao Xiaosheng revealed an important information in the secret conversation, that is, they need to know the identities of some people, and these people may be the important umbrella of the Zhao family for decades.
Presumably, these people are in very prominent positions, and there may even be people in high-level positions. In the ** role, the highest position is undoubtedly the four leaders of the provincial department, followed by Xiao Zhenbang, deputy director of the Changwu City Public Security Bureau.
Although Xiao Zhenbang's energy is great, to serve the Zhao family for decades, he obviously needs a higher-level umbrella. Therefore, the Zhao family must have a higher-level backstage than Xiao Zhenbang.
Among the four provincial and department leaders, if you want to find out the person with the problem, the author thinks it is Zhou Zhenggang, a criminal investigation expert.
Ning Yu, this little policeman who is bent on maintaining the permanent recruitment, may be hiding a bigger secret. In the plot of "Punishment", his suspicion of internal ghosts seems to be minimal, more like an inexperienced child, and his cleverness is difficult to escape the eyes of his colleagues.
However, this may only be a façade. "Punishment" is good at reversing the plot, and the more unlikely the character, the more likely it is to become the key. In the scene of stealing Chang Zheng's locker, Li Bodong, Zhang Qiufeng, Song Guangming and Ning Yu are all possible, if the first three are all ghost suspects, then how can Ning Yu be impossible?
Let's look forward to the twist of the plot and reveal Ning Yu's true face.
The core mystery of Punishment consists of three big questions, in addition to two characters to keep an eye on. Chang Zheng's girlfriend Memorial is the partner of the fourth child of the Zhao family, and she also has a mysterious father, Ji Ji, played by the old drama bone Zhang Chenguang.
The role and influence of the father and daughter in the play are also worth looking forward to. Between black, white and gray, who deserves to be punished and who is guilty, let's wait and see!
