Have you ever heard of which drama has become the focus of hot discussion among the audience recently? That's right, it's "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon"! This show is like a summer heat wave, one wave after another, sweeping the entire television industry.
If you want to talk about why this drama is so popular, it is not groundless. Look at the cast, they are all star-studded, all of them are talented and have top-notch acting skills. In addition, this drama focuses on the college entrance examination that each of us has experienced or is currently experiencing. Can it not resonate with people?
But, there are always two sides to everything. Although the popularity of "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon" continues, the audience's feedback is mixed. Some people feel that the character settings in the play are not grounded enough and the plot development is too bloody. Some viewers even said frankly that they originally wanted to use this drama to encourage their own candidates, but they were "shocked" by the shocking plot in the drama.
So the question is, what kind of drama is "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon"? Why did it trigger heated discussions and at the same time attract a lot of criticism?
Glider and Wings: The Confrontation between Counterattack and Academic Overlord
In the world of "Song of the Dragon", the stories of academic overlord and counterattacker are intertwined into a picture of youth. Shen Yao, who firmly holds the top spot in the grade, and Li Ran, who comes from behind, have become the two major focuses of this drama. But their road is not easy, especially when faced with the tempting "Wing Plan".
Shen Yao, this name is well known in key high schools. With his solid foundation and unremitting efforts, he won the envious eyes of his classmates and the approving nods of his teachers. But when he stood on the same starting line as Li Ran, the counterattacker, everything seemed no longer so certain.
The teacher played by Zhang Ruoyun put forward a thought-provoking point in the debate about the "Additional Wings Plan": "The Adding Wings Plan is to give wings to students who have no wings, not to those who already have gliders. Give me another pair of wings." These words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.
The audience began to think, wasn't Shen Yao's glider earned by his own hard work over eighteen years? As for Li Ran, although he started late, he made rapid progress, like a dark horse, sprinting hard at the last moment.
In this contest between academic masters and counterattackers, no one is the real loser. Shen Yao's efforts are worthy of respect, and his glider is the guarantee of his past glory and future. Li Ran's counterattack shows the infinite possibilities. His wings are gradually becoming fuller and he is ready to fly higher into the sky.
But life is not a script, everyone has his own choice and path to take. The story of Shen Yao and Li Ran is just a microcosm of thousands of students. In real life, everyone is struggling and working hard for their dreams. No matter what the result is, this persistence and hard work are worthy of our praise.
Back to the show, who will get the spot in the "Additional Wings Project" in the end? Did Shen Yao win with his stable strength? Or did Li Ran succeed in counterattacking with one year of rapid progress?
The Controversy of the Counterattack: A True Portrait of a Top Student and a Scumbag
When Li Ran in "The Boy Who Screams the Dragon" finally surpassed Shen Yao, the top student who had been the top student for three consecutive years, did you feel shocked in front of the screen? Yes, this plot is indeed a bit confusing. After all, in our hearts, academic masters like Shen Yao are our role models for studying hard, while Li Ran's counterattack seems like an unattainable dream.
But having said that, does the story of a scumbag’s counterattack really not exist in real life? of course not. Everyone may have one or two examples around them. They once had mediocre results, but then they made rapid progress like they were cheating. The secret to this is, in addition to finding the right learning method, the more important thing is the talent that has been buried for a long time.
However, "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon" seems to have gone too far when portraying the character of Shen Yao.The screenwriter tried to portray Shen Yao as an ordinary person who only relied on hard work to win, but this setting ignored one fact: How could a top student who has been ranked first for three years in a row not have talent?
In addition, "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon" also has some problems with the character background settings. The contrast between the characters Li Ran and Shen Yao is too sharp, as if one is the star in the sky and the other is the soil on the ground. Although this setting highlights the differences between the two, it also makes the audience feel somewhat unreal.
Reincarnation of Grudges and Young People’s Choices
In the drama "The Boy Who Screams the Dragon", the entanglement between Li Ran and Shen Yao is like the grievances between their parents being played out again. At that time, Li Ran's grandfather was seriously ill. In order to raise medical expenses, they gave up their special admission quota at Zhejiang University of Technology. Now, Li Ran's grandmother fell ill again, and he and Shen Yao once again stood at a crossroads in life - the selection of the Tianyi Project.
Shen Yao's father always seems to play the role of the "giver". He came to help again, but with a condition: Li Ran must give up the selection.
Li Ran struggled internally and wanted to agree, but his grandma firmly disagreed. In the end, Li Ran chose to persist, while Shen Yao voluntarily withdrew from the selection by controlling points, becoming the last in the class.
This scene seems to be telling us: life is a cycle of reincarnation, in which love, resentment, and resentment are all included. But the audience was puzzled by Li Ran's hatred. They believe that Li Ran's father made the choice that year, and the Shen family did not force them. Moreover, the Shen family only made a suggestion and did not block Li Ran's father's other paths.
Similarly, Li Ran and Shen Yao are now facing similar choices. It is their own decision to withdraw or not. Shen Yao obviously didn't care about this quota. He even used the last grade in the class to resist his father's arrangement. As for Li Ran, perhaps he was fighting more for his own dignity and the honor of his family.
However, "The Boy Who Screams the Dragon" seems to over-exaggerate the grievances of Li Ran and grandma. But looking at it from another perspective, the Shen family has actually given them a lot of help. Li Ran's grandmother was able to work as a nanny in the Shen family, taking care of food, food and housing; Li Ran himself also stayed in the Shen family. Did Li Ran keep all these kindnesses in mind?
It’s certainly uncomfortable to feel dependent on others, but life is like this, full of hardships and difficulties. The behavior of Li Ran and grandma did not gain sympathy from the audience, but made people feel that they were a little ungrateful.
Finally, we have to mention the relationship between the character "Lei Ming" played by Zhang Ruoyun and his father "Lei Lizhou" in the play. This is also one of the hot topics of discussion among the audience.
Father's love is like a mountain, but its true appearance is hard to see
In the ocean of domestic dramas, there is a kind of father's love that is like a submarine. It is silent on weekdays and even makes children feel cold and distant. However, when the big waves of life hit, this kind of father's love will reveal its existence like an anchor.
Lei Ming’s experience is like a replica of this script. In my memory, my father was always the absent character, indifferent to his growth, as if he was an insignificant bystander.
But his father's death seemed to open the gate of time, making Lei Ming realize that the seemingly indifferent man had been waiting silently outside the school gate on the day of the college entrance examination. This kind of belated love is like a belated comfort, but it is also a double-edged sword. It not only reveals the truth about father's love, but also makes Lei Ming's heart hurt even more.
Also in the world of "Everything Is Fine", Su Daqiang is also a character that people love and hate. His disregard for his children is chilling, as if he only has his own comfort in the world.
However, when he was eroded by Alzheimer's disease, the deepest concern in his heart was the daughter he had always ignored. This contrast in love makes people sigh, and it also makes the audience think more deeply about father's love.
Yes, love that is not noticed does not mean that it does not exist. But film and television works always seem to like to use this method to present father's love, as if only through the precipitation of time and the hardships of life can this kind of love be proven to be true.However, is this proof really enough for children? Will the grievances and helplessness of those years really disappear?
The whitewashing of Lei Lizhou in the TV series may be to give the audience a happy ending, but this forced perfection makes people feel uneasy. True father's love should not be something that needs to be proven or whitewashed. It should be every moment in daily life and a solid backing for the child's growth.
"The Young Man Who Mings the Dragon" is coming to an end, where is the glory of the supporting character Shen Yao?
Speaking of the drama "The Boy Who Calls the Dragon", it really makes the audience love and hate it! As the plot progresses step by step, everyone's controversy about it is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. Some people say that there is a problem with its value orientation, but I want to say, doesn’t this drama just show the growth and struggle of a group of teenagers?
The character Shen Yao, if you ask me, he is the little sun in this drama. Although he is only a supporting character, his unique character brilliance cannot be compared to the stereotyped background of any of the protagonists. Look at him, he is both talented and willing to work hard. Isn’t this what we often call “other people’s children”?
Having said that, talent can indeed make people shine, but hard work can also make people shine. Shen Yao's ability to become number one is not only due to his talent, but also due to his hard work.
"The Boy Who Calls the Dragon" is coming to its finale soon, and to be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it. I want to see where this group of teenagers can go in the end, and whether Shen Yao, the little sun, can continue to shine his light. And you? Are you looking forward to it as much as I do?
