The drama " Blossoms " has revived the audience's interest in period dramas.
Fortunately, there are many such dramas worth looking forward to in the Chinese drama market, such as "South to North" starring Bai Jingting , which has assembled a number of powerful actors, including those who have appeared in "人" Ding Yongdai of in the World.
For a high-quality period drama, both the main creator and the script are crucial, but good actors are also indispensable. To escort "South to North", the veteran drama stars naturally do their part.
However, "Flowers" seems to have completely opened up the two lines of domestic period dramas. "South to North" has not yet been launched. CCTV has once again "Wang Zha" and is the first to throw out a period anti-war drama.
is called "Gou Sheng Run", which sounds out of tune, but after watching this drama, you will know that you can't stop at all. It is precisely because of the high quality of the series that the ratings exceeded 1 in just 2 episodes without any popular stars.
So, what is so good about "Gou Sheng Run"? Needless to say, the first thing that bears the brunt is the plot.
01
There are too many laughs, and all comedians
The theme of the Anti-Japanese War is serious. You can imagine how difficult it is to add comedy elements to it.
However, "Gou Sheng Run" manages to be frivolous without losing weight, and has a sense of joy without losing touch with reality.
Gou Sheng (played by Jiang Long ) has no ambitions. All he wants to do is marry his godfather and godmother's daughter Xing'er and earn enough to build three large tile-roofed houses.
For this reason, he replaced his godmother's biological son Wang Mao, received four oceans and went to serve as a soldier.
As a result, a man who learned nothing in the Shaolin Temple showed extraordinary talent during the recruit training. He used the Shaolin Temple's skill of using a slingshot to hit candles to shoot guns. He was so accurate that he was immediately killed by the deputy company. I took a fancy to him.
The historical background of the story, the recruitment method, and even the logic of imposter are all real and close to the ground. On this basis, it depends on whether "Gou Sheng Run" can also play comedy. .
I never expected that this movie "Running Dog" not only incorporates comedy elements just right, but also makes people laugh directly to tears because of the dense laughter.
The first scene, performing in front of the elders
Although Gou Sheng stayed in the Shaolin Temple for ten years, he spent these ten years carrying water. The master did not teach him any martial arts, but Gou Sheng did not want Myolie to feel He was good for nothing, so he kept hiding the truth.
But the elders got together and it was a fixed project for the younger generation to perform, and they performed the kung fu learned in the Shaolin Temple.
Gou Sheng whined, punched and made moves, which immediately confused everyone. Just when someone was about to expose him, Gou Sheng slapped the table. Good guy, the solid wood Bafang table was smashed to pieces by him.
The elders were too scared to blame him, they all thought he had mastered Iron Sand Palm.
The second scene, going to the town to deliver wine
The godfather couldn't stand Gou Sheng, so he assigned him a task, asking him to pick up the apples after delivering the wine, but he ended up on a small bridge within two miles of walking out. Then he met the deputy company commander of the national army galloping on horseback.
Gou Sheng is a professional when it comes to carrying burdens. Seeing that he was about to fall into the river, he immediately adjusted his direction and landed steadily while stepping on the warped wooden board. This move was like turning Zui Fist and Ling Bo Wei The steps were combined, and the deputy company commander couldn't help but be amazed.
After Gou Sheng finished delivering the wine, he picked up two more baskets of apples. When he couldn't hold it any longer and looked for the toilet, he met Taoer (played by Shi Ce), the granddaughter of Braided Master (played by Liu Peiqi). First, he was startled by the other party, and because he was blocked from going to the toilet, he peed his pants in the street.
The ghost-like Tao'er is really scary and funny, and the pants are wet. Gou Sheng doesn't want Myolie to see him like this, so he picks apples while drying his pants on the road, which is embarrassing and funny.
The role of Gou Sheng alone was enough to fill the audience with joy in just two scenes. The key is that there are a lot of laughs interspersed in it, and almost every character is a comedian.
For example, the penniless Wang Daju (played by Li Mengnan) heard a second ago that Gou Sheng was going to serve as a soldier for his biological son. He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face bloomed, saying that Gou Sheng was here to repay his kindness.
After hearing that Gou Sheng said that he joined the army to earn a lot of money, build a house and marry his daughter Xing'er, his face immediately changed in the next second, saying that Gou Sheng was not here to repay his kindness.
There is also the bully Yang San (played by Jiang Yi), who is full of bad ideas, but is not intelligent enough and is timid. He mistakenly thought that Gou Sheng could use iron sand palms. As soon as the opponent raised his hand, he had his neck twisted and was frightened. I had to crook my neck for several days.
Wang Mao, on the other hand, is stupid. Even as a soldier, he wants to take the girl he likes to the battlefield, but just because he heard that he can eat carrots, he forgets about it.
It can be said that the dense laughter in this drama is better than most domestic comedies in recent years.
02
Jiang Long plays the leading role, and the director’s wife is the most amazing
Jiang Longhuo, there is nothing wrong with her!
If you look at the character Gou Sheng he plays in this drama, you will know that on the surface he looks carefree and unkempt, but in fact he has unlimited potential and he is also a reliable and dedicated person.
Jiang Long plays Gou Sheng. His image and temperament are very suitable, but the details of various performances are also very high-level.
For example, when he watched Xing'er enter his room, and happened to be seen by Xing'er's father, Jiang Long's expression immediately became concerned, as if he had a guilty conscience after being caught.
But only in front of his family, he would behave like a coward who dared not speak. Faced with Yang San, who was chasing Myolie and harassing her in all kinds of ways, Jiang Long could act out the fierce side of Gou Sheng, and with one look he could This character's fearlessness comes to life.
When he told everyone that he had stayed in the Shaolin Temple for ten years, just to fetch water, the look he looked at Xing'er showed a bit of embarrassment and shame. He didn't want to show his unbearable side in front of his sweetheart, but he was helpless. His performance was also superb.
And Jiang Long himself is a comedian, and comedy is natural. He is the soul of this show.
In addition to Jiang Long, the most amazing actor in the early plot is Qin Hailu.
Since this drama is directed by her husband Wang Xinjun, Qin Hailu, as a model wife, naturally has to help.
At the beginning, she played the image of a mother with a kind heart and a gentle personality. The character was very immersive, but not so explosive.
Until Gou Sheng decided to fight for Wang Mao. Although she was Gou Sheng's godmother, Wang Mao's mother couldn't bear to watch Gou Sheng go to the battlefield in place of her son. She couldn't help crying when she called Gou Sheng to her side, and gave her mother to He gave his bracelet to Gou Sheng, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
She really felt it at that moment. She regarded Gou Sheng as her biological son, but she also knew that Wang Mao was stupid and would die on the battlefield. Gou Sheng still had a chance to survive and could only watch Gou Sheng replace Wang Mao.
Qin Hailu's crying scene is so contagious, she doesn't act like a godmother at all, but more like a biological mother.
In addition, in this drama there are actors such as You Yongzhi, Li Mengnan, Liu Peiqi, etc., as well as comedians from the "Annual Drama Competition" who engage in "team building". The configuration is not bad at all.
This CCTV drama is likely to become the first dark horse drama in 2024.
Do you like this kind of theme?
