The overall structure of "The Story of the Tang Dynasty" is particularly suitable for writing unit drama reviews. Naturally, the plot is divided into several parts based on different cases, each with a beginning and an end, and a different ending. Last time on
, Ye Qiuchen shared his personal feelings about the Changan black tea case in episodes 1-6. Although the speed of chasing the drama is still slow, he still watched it seriously. This time, it focuses on one of the stories in episodes 7-14, Gan Tangyi's strange talk.
first talk about Gan Tangyi's strange talk, and write about the stone bridge pattern later.
This drama has a very good design, that is, the case is divided into two parts to tell the story.
does not hand over all the content to the audience, but lays foreshadowing through the details of some shots, leaving room for thinking.
Some viewers are probably impatient. When they said goodbye to Gan Tangyi for the first time, they felt that the plot was too abrupt and had a hasty ending, and some even abandoned the show from here.
However, the real secret lies behind the detection of the stone bridge pattern.
Liu Shiqi, Liu Shiba, and Liu Shijiu are triplets. They look exactly the same, but they have embarked on three completely different paths.
Seventeen is selfish by nature, completely disregarding the rest of the family for personal gain and loss.
complains about being born poor, complaining about his father's incompetence, complaining that his younger brother is a "monster", complaining that the resources given to brothers are not fair enough, and so on.
After Liu Shiba was taken away, Liu Shiqi ignored his brother's life and death and continued to pretend to be his identity, attracting more innkeepers and making money.
The jewelry on these people became his possessions. Except for the officials who shielded them, they all became their own belongings.
Not only that, these innkeepers have even become part of their daily ingredients.
Liu Shiba has a very kind heart. He hopes to persuade those who are staying in the hotel through words not to enter the inn and be in danger.
But often these suggestions are ineffective, so he can only alleviate his guilt in other ways.
For example, he gave Su Wuming and others vegetable dumplings instead of stewed "meat".
For example, he let Lu Lingfeng and others live in a relatively safe room.
For example, he does what he can to rescue people who are on the verge of life and death.
On the other hand, Liu Shiqi is totally different.
When the incident came to light, Liu Shiba chose one person to take all the blame, and only hoped that his elder brother and younger brother would be spared.
Who knows, Liu Shiqi still refuses to stop, and leads Liu Jiu to continue to kill people and plunder money.
Gan Tangyi talks about this story, which has an open ending full of conjectures.
Since the camera did not show all the content, Gan Tangyi's strange talk is presented in the way of hiding the ending .
Some people say they don't understand it, but they can understand it.
This is like speaking only half of the speech, and the rest is done by our imagination and brain supplementation.
The operation of the drama party is a bit clever , one is that it doesn't shoot too bloody pictures, the other is that it can increase the degree of discussion, and the third is that no matter what kind of ending is, it can be thought-provoking.
Then next, Ye Qiuchen will share with you the three endings that I personally guessed.
In the first ending, the snake ate Liu Shiqi according to Liu Shiji's order.
This seems to be the most requested answer on the web.
Because Liu Jiujiu grew up with snakes since he was a child, his behavior was no different from snakes, so the snake that finally appeared in front of everyone would only obey Liu Jiu's orders.
Seventeen and eighteen have to rely on playing flute to attract snakes.
For Liu Shijiu, his life was a complete tragedy. At birth, he was different from ordinary people. Even if he found his brothers, he would only become a tool for making money and killing his life.
Although Liu Shiba also wanted to resist and refuse, he did not take much action under the ties of family relationships.
The source of this tragedy is Liu Shiqi's selfishness and greed.
Therefore, the reason why Liu Shijiu became such a bloodthirsty "monster" is because of Liu Shiqi.
Liu Nineteen had never thought about all of this before, and this so-called brother never said harsh words to him, and never spoke out his true thoughts.
And when all three of them were arrested and the truth of the case came to light, Liu Shiqi stopped hiding and finally revealed his ugly face.
Liu Nineteen had an epiphany at this moment. It turned out that this brother only used himself as a tool, and he foolishly thought it was affection.
So, let the snake end Liu Shiqi's life, and also put an end to his ignorance for so many years.
In the second ending, Liu Shijiu ordered the snake to end his own life.
His mental journey is as above, so I won't repeat it too much.
According to the logic of thinking, Liu Nineteen will think that his whole life is a failure, and he can no longer find any meaning to continue to survive.
In the past, he felt that living with his brothers, even if he was doing evil things, brainwashing himself numbly was a kind of deformed happiness.
Now, even this so-called "happiness" bubble has been popped. In this despair,
chose to end his tragic life.
He is also the last person to appear in the snake's perspective.
In the third ending, the three brothers of the Liu family were eaten by snakes.
actually arranged the appearance of the snake to give the three brothers a home, otherwise this scene would have no meaning. Whether
said that the seventeenth was swallowed up before, or the nineteenth chose to leave by himself, it was all to end the tragic story of the three brothers.
Regarding the three brothers of the Liu family, netizens said that the seventeenth is selfish and selfish to die, but the eighteenth is kind but involved in the crime after all.
For them, what is the best ending for the audience?
may just end the misery of this life and imagine a new life in the next life.
So, Ye Qiuchen guessed the third ending.
Because the three brothers of the Liu family all appeared in the snake's perspective, they are all "prey" to the snake, so destroying them is also an option for the snake.
killed Seventeen in order to avenge Nineteen, killed Eighteen because he didn't want him to continue to suffer, and killed Nineteen in order to relieve him.
So maybe the snake also helped the three brothers of the Liu family get their own way in this way.
Whether it is the greedy and selfish Seventeen, the tangled and hesitant Eighteen, or the fierce and cruel Nineteen, it seems that they all have their own endings. The
case ends here.
's next article, let's talk about the stone bridge pattern in "The Story of Tang Dynasty".
