"Dajiang Dahe 3" is finally launched on CCTV1.
When it comes to “new year hot products”, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
The first thing that pops into everyone's mind should be "Kurst" or "In the World".
But in my memory, it is "Dajiang Dahe 1" five years ago. Not only did the dual-channel ratings exceed 1, but the online broadcast volume also exceeded expectations, with a Douban score of 8.8, and word-of-mouth ratings.
In fact, when observing "Dajiang Dahe", it is not difficult to find that in the general sense, "the most popular drama of the year" is always inseparable from three obvious characteristics.
First, there is a solid script foundation.
"Dajiang Dahe" is adapted from Anai's original work "Dajiang Dahe". Created by a team of screenwriters such as Tang Yao, the script is of very high quality, and it can be said that it has already won in terms of text.
Secondly, it is a cast with superb acting skills.
A good drama requires vivid characters, and vivid characters are inseparable from excellent acting skills. From the beginning, "Dajiang Dahe" selected actors such as Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, and Dong Zijian to play the three core protagonists, powerful and green actors There are more than 30 people. Facts have proved that their superb performance gave "Dajiang Dahe" the confidence to become popular all over the country.
Third, it has both the characteristics of the times and individual care.
Starting from the first film "Dajiang Dahe" directed by Kong Sheng, it is about seeing the big from the small, using the experiences of the three protagonists to reflect the social changes in the 40 years of reform and opening up. The big rivers of China's economic development are imprinted in it, and there are also social aspects. The progress and hardships along the way.
In general, dramas that meet these three points are basically guaranteed in quality and may even have the potential to compete for the "Drama King of the Year" award.
In the past few years, there have been several good dramas that have become such hits at the beginning of the year.
However, at the beginning of 2024, we are likely to wait for two dramas comparable to "In the World" and "Hurry".
One, of course, is the hot "Flowers".
One is "Dajiang Dahe 3" which starts tonight.
The screenwriting team is still led by Tang Yao, and it is still adapted from Anai's original novel "The Great River Goes East". Kong Sheng, the director of the first part, returns as the chief director, and the original cast of Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, Dong Zijian, and Yang Caiyu return. This part of
is also the final chapter of the "Dajiang Dahe" series.
The careers of Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao, Yang Xun, and Liang Sishen will fluctuate with the times and eventually move in a new direction.
News Network recommends it in 15 seconds, with plenty of coverage.
CCTV premiered 1 episode, and online platforms premiered 3 episodes. The ratings have already reached the first place, which is not bad.
So, is it possible for this drama to shake the status of "Flowers", and even achieve a word-of-mouth overtake at the beginning of the year, surpassing Douban's "Flowers" with a score of 8.2 and Yang Yi's last major drama, Douban's "Ask the Cangmang" with a score of 8.7, Become the most popular "drama king" at the beginning of this year? After finishing 3 episodes of
, it’s time to take everyone back to the big river to find out.
01. The potential of a drama king is revealed in just one episode. The story is fast-paced, has a new angle, and three difficult problems show the ambition of the drama.
The third part of "Dajiang Dahe" can be seen from the "Times Are Like a Song" in the title. The story of a generation is about to usher in its "cantabile" final chapter.
But I never expected that the story would start so harshly.
Kong Sheng is still Kong Sheng, and his period dramas never make the audience feel dull.
Because the story throws out a series of suspense at the beginning, Song Yunhui, who was transferred from the East China Sea to Pengyang Pesticide Factory, Lei Dongbao, who returned to Xiaolei's home, and Yang Xun, who returned home to visit his mother's grave, encountered three major problems at the beginning. , has already surfaced.
The biggest problem is Song Yunhui, the poisoning incident in the pesticide factory.
Unexpectedly, Kong Sheng did not film Song Yunhui's arrival at Pengyang Pesticide Factory. As soon as
opened, the time jumped directly to 4 months later, and Song Yunhui was taken away by the Public Security Bureau not long after his appearance - "Your pesticides are poisoning people."
This incident of excessive pesticide phosphorus caused two casualties. The family members of the deceased were waiting at the gate of the pesticide factory and asked Song Yunhui, "Are you from the pesticide factory?" "
Song Yunhui said yes, and the angry family members threw a bottle at him and hit his head on the spot.
The more serious matter was yet to come. The county quickly set up an investigation team, and the pesticide factory was immediately shut down. Work cannot be resumed until the reason is found.
Song Yunhui, the factory director, was thrown into the limelight in such a confused way.
After discovering that there were indeed problems in the factory's production, Song Yunhui immediately agreed to cooperate with the investigation and was willing to take the initiative to take responsibility as the factory director.
And after Song Yunhui's investigation and scientific research thinking, the possible cause of the accident was quickly found, and the tail left by the previous factory director's forced suspension of technical experiments was uncovered.
But the investigation team followed the clues provided by Song Yunhui. , came up with a conclusion that can be recognized by all parties and bring the incident to a quick end.
Song Yunhui, who accepted death, once again denied the investigation team’s investigation conclusion from a scientific perspective. Song Yunhui is indeed the same Song Yunhui, upright, principled and responsible.
But This means that there is still no conclusion to the poisoning incident at Pengyang Pesticide Factory.
How does Song Yunhui lead this small-scale, low-efficiency enterprise to get rid of the shadow of the poisoning incident, restart scientific research, and bring the pesticide factory on the verge of bankruptcy back to life?
This is the plot laid down at the beginning of the episode The first suspense.
The second biggest problem is Lei Dongbao, Xiaolei’s family cluster reorganization crisis.
As for Lei Dongbao, he did not give up after he was released from prison, but changed Xiaolei’s original industry into an industrial cluster. , the purpose is to reduce internal friction and form an industrialized pattern.
But his ambitions soon encountered several critical blows from reality: first, it was discovered that insiders were stealing collective money.
Next, it was the superiors who gave him A mother-in-law was sent to inspect the superior leaders. On the day of the inspection, a secretary parachuted into Xiaolei's family, which made Lei Dongbao feel like he had eaten a fly in his mouth.
And the industrial cluster itself also brought new problems, and the small business owners who were absorbed They all complained behind their backs that Lei Dongbao was a released prisoner, and
was unwilling to cooperate openly or covertly.
How Lei Dongbao cracked this hard nut was also the second suspense laid in the drama.
The third biggest problem, Yang Xun, Discovering the truth about his mother's death.
Yang Xun returned to his hometown after his first failure in starting a business, only to discover the truth about his mother's death: He owed money again and again to ask for blood transfusions at home, and gave everything his mother could give. Creditors came time and again, and his mother was exhausted. Eventually fell ill and died.
Yang Xun, who was in tears and full of regrets, how to face the guilt of his mother's death and whether he can regain his strength is the third suspense left at the beginning of the series.
The audience discovered that along the way from the small mountain village to the East China Sea, Song Yunhui, Lei Dongbao, and Yang Xun had gone through many twists and turns, from one trough to another, but never gave up.
uses their individual struggles as clues to reflect how state-owned, private, collective and joint ventures advanced in the wave of economic system reform, recreating various major events of the golden decade at the end of the last century.
At this point, the plot has constructed a sophisticated enough serial drama structure - the end of one conflict represents the beginning of another conflict: the three protagonists encounter obstacles at the same time, and the three story clues are like three bifurcated rivers, but the years are like songs. , the three finally made a comeback -
, one returned to the East China Sea to take up a leadership position, and was confident in negotiating with foreign investors.
One by one, "We farmers enter Guangdong" bravely entered the Canton Fair and got an order of 10 million US dollars.
One and Liang Sishen continued to do business and run shopping malls in partnership.
starts with a question and uses a super-fast story rhythm to lay the foundation for the entire drama. This is the confidence of "Dajiang Dahe 3", but the fate of the characters will eventually converge into Dajiang Dahe again.
And the story behind has just begun.
02, detailed performances by Wang Kai, Yang Shuo, and other actors, the details of the three characters, the design is wonderful, really awesome!
As the main theme of the drama, the vivid and three-dimensional characters are the foundation of the entire drama.
Just like "Dajiang Dahe 1", characters are the basis for this series to become an annual drama.
Under the direction of director Kong Sheng, the returning characters in "Dajiang Dahe 3" still have distinct personalities, and the way to establish the character's image is all based on one or two details.
This is almost the same from the protagonist to the supporting role. As long as the audience pays attention to these details and cooperates with the actors' excellent acting skills, it will take a matter of minutes to stand up for the characters.
gives 3 examples that appeared in the first 3 episodes.
The first one is Wang Kai’s smile and anger.
Many people have fallen in love with Wang Kai, either from the handsome King Jing in "Nirvana in Fire" or from Song Yunhui in "Dajiang Dahe 1".
But looking at Wang Kai now, his appearance has not changed much, but there is an added sense of sedimentation over time.
His acting skills have also become much more stable. Faced with the crisis of the pesticide incident, from his performance, you can clearly feel the confidence and carefulness of a factory director who takes control of the overall situation and has a plan in mind after being frustrated at the beginning.
After Wang Kai came on the scene, he was smiling at one point and angry at another, completely standing up for Song Yunhui's image.
The first time was after the employees of the pesticide factory reported to him the progress of technological innovation. In the small courtyard, he showed a long-lost smile.
Faced with this mess, Song Yunhui was not impatient and steadily led the entire factory to start technological innovation.
This smile shows that Song Yunhui is still optimistic and is a very capable person.
Only truly strong people can be calm and calm when facing difficulties and will not be at a loss. The second time
became angry was after the incident at the pesticide factory.
But instead of venting his anger, he discovered that young employees wanted to be heroes.
Song Yunhui immediately stopped this behavior, and the audience saw Director Song's anger for the first time.
smiles slightly and becomes angry. One is facing reality and the other is solving problems. This kind of Song Yunhui is worthy of the audience's expectations.
The second one is Yang Shuo’s embarrassed face.
What impressed me most about Lei Dongbao in the first three episodes was precisely the moment when he was least Lei Dongbao.
After the reorganization of the cluster, the superior leader came to inspect for the first time, but he was robbed of the limelight by the newly airborne secretary. Lei Dongbao, who was in the crowd, said nothing and showed an embarrassed face.
But just this expression brought the character’s mood to life.
The third one is Huo Qing's "selfishness".
Ma Baoping, played by Huo Qing, is secretly hostile to Song Yunhui, but at the beginning of the story, he has an intriguing conversation with Li Guangjie.
He said that Song Yunhui was responsible for the successful cooperation between Donghai Factory and foreign capital.
proposed another plan, which was to merge Song Yunhui's pesticide factory and make him a direct manager of the Donghai Factory. It would be logical to transfer him back.
Just when Lu Si was noncommittal, he suddenly expressed his selfish intentions: he hoped to expand the scale of the company and make some achievements in his career before retiring.
In the end, Director Lu chose to accept his suggestion.
This scene is great.
It is not only the swordplay between the two actors talking and laughing, but also deepens the thankless role of Ma Baoping.
During the reform and opening up, there were brave and selfless people like Song Yunhui, and there were also people like Ma Baoping who were utilitarian but also had career ideals. Ma's move was both public and selfish. The character of
is instantly more vivid, vivid and memorable.
Zijing, it is indeed you.
These three details include both the performance of the actors and the portrayal of the characters. In the first three short episodes, the character portrayal was almost to the extreme.
In just a few scenes, the characters stand firm and the audience is full of expectations for the plot that follows.
03, two highlights, eye-catching, powerful actors and realistic themes, another drama to start the new year?
"Dajiang Dahe 3" has almost gathered all the good actors in Noon Sunshine in recent years. There are more than 20 talented actors who can be named. The supporting actors from
are also old acquaintances of everyone, including Huang Jue, Lian Lian, Xu Yajun, Liu Dan, Fang Fangbin and other powerful actors. Therefore, in terms of actors' acting skills, there is really nothing to worry about.
Wang Kai's performance still has a sense of calmness. When he plays the director of a pesticide factory, he has the feeling of pulling a thousand pounds. At first glance, he is a steady, rigorous, down-to-earth doer.
but maintained the particularly intellectual side of his character, with ideas, ambitions, and hard work, while at the same time being professional, rational, and accepting of death.
So when the superior investigation team tried to draw investigation conclusions based on the clues he provided, he rejected his own ideas after seeing the data.
That expression is definitely that of Song Yunhui.
and Yang Shuo are still able to play Lei Dongbao with ease.
Being courageous, responsible, and still impulsive will later become a hidden danger that will change his destiny. This hidden danger has already begun to show up in the characters' lines and performances.
also has a new character. The scientific research expert of the pesticide factory played by Liu Dan is very charming in both his expression and tone.
Huang Jue plays the deputy factory director, and a few details of his actions bring out the character's anxious mood.
Fang Fang Bin, who plays the role of Lei Dongbao's partner and rival this season, feels like a long-sleeved dancer as soon as he appears. In a drinking scene, he and Yang Shuo appeared to be respectful to each other, but in fact they fought for several rounds and it was amazing.
The leader of the investigation team played by Tan Kai is calm and composed, but has an aggressive sense of oppression. For the audience, it can be said to be a "sense of immersion".
Of course, in addition to the star cast, some famous golden green leaves also appeared in the play.
For example, Yu Wentong, who played Prince Ji in "Nirvana in Fire", and Zhang Jianing, who has become a new regular member of the Noon Sunshine team since "Ode to Joy 3".
The acting skills of all the actors are online, and the temperament of the drama king of the year in "Dajiang Dahe 3" is clearly revealed.
Not only that, with Kong Sheng taking action, "Dajiang Dahe 3" naturally has the secret to success.
watched 3 episodes, and the two highlights are very obvious.
The first one is the reality of "Dajiang Dahe 3".
is the main theme. It does not have any slogans or false claims. All problems are based on reality. All plots are supported by specific dramatic conflicts.
The story puts the three protagonists into crisis at the very beginning. It seems to be a coincidence, but it is actually reasonable.
The technological reform of the pesticide factory has hit a wall, the re-development of collective enterprises has exposed risks, and the practical difficulties of self-employed individuals in the new era are all highly realistic.
These details give "Dajiang Dahe 3" real power. Although the story is fictional, the things are very real.
Nowadays, only this kind of reality can capture the hearts of the audience.
The second one is the continuation of the spirit of "Dajiang Dahe 3".
That is what is buried in the DNA of the series, and there is always an upward spirit.
Probably because of Kong Sheng's return, old viewers can easily feel that the style of "Dajiang Dahe 1" is back.
From the first part, what impressed the audience is that even though there are imperfections in the plot, they still find it good-looking and attractive, and they can't help but talk about these characters and pay attention to the fate of these characters.
In the final analysis, it is because of the spirit of these characters.
Song Yunhui's stubbornness, Lei Dongbao's aggressiveness, and Yang Xun's stubbornness. No matter what circumstances these characters encounter, their energy and spirit are always there.
Behind the spirit of those characters, they represent that era and the spiritual temperament contained in that era.
That is what the audience yearns for the most and is the most touching thing.
The fate of the three characters has become a witness to the 40 years of changes in this era.
The most attractive thing about this play is also placed on the characters. The various changes caused by the rapid tide of the times, and the consistent progress of people amidst the changes in destiny brought about by the tide of the times.
Because, to a certain extent, many of our viewers are also experienced in this era.
What is the series "Big Rivers" about?
To put it more broadly, it is reform and opening up, and it is the development and changes of the country’s four economic forms.
However, this topic is too grand for the average audience to understand.
Therefore, the plot concretizes the story into a small character in the torrent of several eras. Through them, we see ourselves or the ideals and struggles of our parents.
In the end, what this series restores is the most precious spirit and beautiful quality of that era, the spirit of innocence, fearlessness, hard work, and high-spiritedness. Even if the road is far away and the current is surging, you still strive to move forward.
In the wave of reform, Song Yunhui and his colleagues rode the wind and waves and never gave up in the face of difficulties. In fact, this is also a portrayal of the fate of many people.
This is why when the audience sees their stories, they unconsciously feel a surging feeling in their hearts.
Probably because idealism is always worthy of tears in our eyes, and each of us, more or less, adheres to some ideal.
This is the great river of Song Yunhui and ours.
Having followed three episodes in one breath, I am now completely attracted by the fate of several protagonists: Song Yunhui, who was hit again, how to counterattack in the pesticide factory?
What kind of troubles and difficulties will Lei Dongbao encounter in the future when he is under the control of Xiaolei's family?
And Yang Xun who breaks into Guangdong, what new obstacles will he encounter, as well as deeper and more complex human entanglements...
Their life stories are still going on, but in reality everyone's life is like a river. Still rushing.
I think this is what ordinary audiences want to watch most, a period drama.
