Every year when the inventory of each platform is taken, I will take a few glances and circle a few that I am interested in.
"Run the Dog", which I regard as a "happy" actor team, has always been on my must-see list due to its actors and the title of the drama. As a result, the drama premiered yesterday as a surprise.
I quickly found time to watch it, but my goodness, who would have thought that I would cry while smiling?
By mistake, he becomes a soldier for his younger brother?
Just watched it for a while, hey, these are not all old acquaintances.
Jiang Long plays Gou Sheng, a seemingly naive but thoughtful rural boy. Because he was picked up and raised by Lao Wang 's family when he was young, he got the nickname Gou Sheng to make a living.
He has a younger brother and a younger sister. My younger sister, Xing'er, is pretty and juicy, and can be considered a flower in the village; my younger brother, Wang Mao, is born with a flaw and is not very smart.
The family does not live a wealthy life, but they can make a living by making wine. Gou Sheng's dream is to build three large tile-roofed houses, marry Myolie, and live a happy life with his wife and children.
But good things are always remembered. Xing'er looks good, and Yang San from the village also wants to marry her.
As for this Yang San, he was wilted and bad, but he still had a little power in his hands. He was teased by his followers and came up with a stupid idea to bring Wang Mao with him to make Xing Er:
was added to the recruitment list. Wang Mao's name came to threaten the old Wang family to "marry" Xing'er.
Wang Mao didn’t meet the standards for conscription. It was a time of war. If he really wanted to be a soldier, wouldn’t he be going to die? Lao Wang's family was so anxious that Xing'er was so wronged that she almost hanged herself.
Gou Sheng jumped out and came up with an idea at this time. In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father. Now, can he, Gou Sheng, serve as a soldier for his younger brother? Moreover, he still had four oceans to earn as a soldier, and he was one step closer to his goal of "three large tile-roofed houses".
So Gou Sheng became Wang Mao, from an ordinary rural boy to a national army.
Moreover, the ten years spent in the Shaolin Temple were not in vain. The slingshot skills required to be practiced in the temple were transferred to the marksmanship. With a steady hand and an eye, the recruits suddenly had the blessing of the marksmanship buff.
Do you think Gou Sheng will launch a grassroots counterattack according to the routine? nonono, this kid only wants to make money.
The first time I went to the battlefield and saw the corpse, Gou Sheng was not afraid at all. Instead, he dared to go up and dig out the corpse, and took out a few newly-issued big fish to use as "outside pieces".
Just wanted to praise Gou Sheng for his natural boldness, but the next second he started fighting with real swords and guns. He was confused instead. The people around him were hit by bullets and fell. On the bloody battlefield, it was the first time for Gou Sheng to fight. The remaining front slowly unfolded.
I couldn’t remember the kung fu after ten years of training, and my marksmanship was not as accurate as when I practiced. The people around me yelled and backed away.
Amidst the sound of gunfire, Gou Sheng discovered for the first time that the small goal of "serving as a soldier is to make money" was so easy to achieve? He missed the retreating army and escaped by pretending to be dead. The dog who had plans for Xiao Jiujiu looked at the evil-proof bracelet that his mother gave him before leaving.
finally came to his senses. He took off his military uniform while running. He wanted to go home.
Jiang Long acted really well in this part. The emotions burst out in an instant, he saw real death, and walked in front of the ghost gate. His eyes changed from dull to firm. The kind of rebirth that was baptized by life and death was all performed. .
The energy with which he dropped everything and ran home was inexplicably touching.
I was about to burst into tears. The next second the camera turned and it turned into Yang Sanshang and Lao Wang’s family announcing that Gou Sheng had been killed in action and giving him a pension.
Then when he turned around, the dead dog appeared faintly. Surprised or not, Yang San was frightened and fainted.
Yang San, I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious. Gou Sheng’s journey as a soldier has just begun.
It’s not just Gou Sheng, everyone has a goal of “three big tile-roofed houses”
What’s interesting is that after the end of this “soldier experience card”, Gou Sheng earned 8 yuan, which made him both rich and safe. Life.
So he invested non-stop in the infrastructure of building a house, buying land, bricks and cement. If he didn't have enough money, he even cut down trees himself, but he was still a little short of his small goal.
After going round and round, Gou Sheng decided to "sell" himself once more and embarked on the road of "making money as a soldier", and then was completely involved in the rolling tide of the times.
I read in the barrage that some idiots are stupid, they have rolled around on the battlefield, and they dare to "exchange their lives for money", but in an era of war and chaos, this is just a hand raised by a small person against fate. .
I can actually understand Gou Sheng’s decision to repeatedly “sell” himself for the sake of “three big tile-roofed houses”.
Because in our lives, doesn’t everyone have a goal that supports them to move forward?
Maybe you are struggling in the workplace and want to achieve a small goal of promotion and salary increase; maybe you are still studying and want to have better results and go to a better place. Or maybe you are just fighting against the ordinary and tiring life and want to start a small family and live the simplest and most ordinary life.
This is our inner vision for a better life, and we are willing to work hard for it.
For Gou Sheng, the three large tile-roofed houses have never been just houses. They represent a home with the person he likes, Myolie, and a safe haven of his own in a barren and troubled era.
That was what Gou Sheng could imagine. The happiness was what he hoped for.
Therefore, he was willing to endure the dangers and difficulties of being a soldier. This was the fastest way he could see to achieve his goal, and it was also the only choice before him.
In fact, each of us, are we not the losers who have no choice?
In order to live, you must work. Even if 996 and work content make people grow old, they still have to grit their teeth and be beaten repeatedly by life. It is even more difficult for people who do not have a job. If you don't study well, you either have to lower your bottom line and do dirty work. If you can make money, it's a good job.
We are all working hard for the "three big tile-roofed houses" in our hearts. This is also the emotional resonance that Gou Sheng, a grassroots little guy who is unhappy and uncool, resonates with us.
Because although times have changed, the plight of Gou Sheng is still the plight of young people.
looks at his growth and transformation, to a certain extent, to see how ordinary people can realize the "infinity" in their hearts in a limited environment.
Gou Sheng's journey to becoming a soldier started with a few pieces of ocean and a few tile-roofed houses, but as it unfolded, things never went as he wished. The outer parts of the corpse were looted by the money-grubbing platoon leader; The local government "sold" itself again, but sold itself into the same military camp. The four yuan that
earned from selling her body was confiscated, and she was almost executed on the spot for deserting.
Finally managed to live a stable life with stable food and salary. The army suddenly became cooperating with the Japanese. Gou Sheng became a "traitor" and had to fight against the New Fourth Army.
had its ups and downs, and the goal of three large tile-roofed houses was still a distant dream, but Gou Sheng's journey to awakening began with the cry of "Chinese people will not fight Chinese people."
How do these young actors support the historical narrative?
can have such a strong emotional connection with the character Gou Sheng. In addition to his simple desire to "earn money, buy a house and marry a wife", it also lies in the vivid cast of this drama.
I said that the actors in this drama are all old acquaintances, no one has any objections, right? As an audience of the comedy competition, it was a surprise and a relief to see Jiang Long, Shi Ce, Jiang Yi, Ye Liu, and Song Muzi appear in the play.
They, together with Qin Hailu, You Yongzhi, Liu Peiqi and other "righteous" senior actors, together form the solemn and humorous tone of this TV series.
This group of young actors with a background in comedy have found the best way to open themselves up in the drama.
Their past performance experience has made them naturally accustomed to a kind of small-cut narrative. The experience they have learned from life makes them comfortable in shaping similar small characters.
These little characters use their own stubbornness, simplicity, authenticity and other elements to weave one small scene after another similar to a stage play, and the "big people" who accidentally bump into these small scenes have their own attributes of the narrative of the times.
Gou Sheng is a complete little person. He is a little bit thoughtful but not much. He only looks at his own one-third of an acre of land. He only hears about making money as a soldier and has no idea about the danger of life in war.
His admiration for Myolie and his persistence in kindness are all pure and kind. As he runs forward, his simple sense of justice and right and wrong, and his lack of insensitivity in the face of big things, reflect the bitterness of this world. ,ugly.
The several confrontations between him and Yang San were humorous but also spicy.
Jiang Long has always been good at expressing serious themes in this kind of humor. The theme of his past "Original Intention Series" was not funny, but love.
Jiang Yi and Shi Ce also captured the essence of the characters. Yang San is bad and greedy, but timid and easy to give in. After being threatened with force several times by Gou Sheng, he successfully surrendered. He has the appearance of a small citizen and is by no means a big traitor. Evil people.
Taozi, played by Shi Ce, is lively and smart, a bit elf, and patriotic, but careless and lacks flexibility and sophistication. She was caught and used to threaten the braided man during the parade. She still has a long way to go to grow up.
But no matter what the role is, they all play with distinct personalities, outstanding small characteristics, and never vague faces. Not to mention veteran drama stars like Qin Hailu and Liu Peiqi, they are just characters.
They used their acting skills, with the help of the director and the story, to support the serious narrative core of the play and build vivid portraits of small characters, making Gou Sheng's story more grounded and more popular.
e sister's conclusion
"Gou Sheng Run" is not the kind of period war drama that is common nowadays. It does not have a main character who is absolutely truthful, good and beautiful. The character Gou Sheng who occupies the title of the drama is just like everyone else in the drama. He is completely flawed. of little people.
The platoon leader here relies on connections, the platoon deputy is the one who slept with his wife, the county magistrate seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, the scholar only has patriotism but no patriotism, and the students can only go to the streets to parade and post slogans. , everyone is beyond their capabilities, drifting here and there with the tide of the times.
But it is this rough simplicity and reality that makes the drama different from other similar themes and makes the story more appealing.
In the play, Gou Sheng has a kind of "Foolish Sage" attribute like "Forrest Gump". He simply walks with his own inherent concepts, and the audience follows his experience and lifts the curtain of the play little by little. What it looks like to a certain village, a certain province, a certain era.
The "battle to seize his wife" between him and Yang San, and the funny stories he experienced after he was "forced" to join the army in Wang Mao's place are actually one "small scene" after another, and the audience is introduced to it through some of them. Through the details, we can see the general background of the Anti-Japanese War and the oppression of the people by the "flood, drought and locust soup" - 's structure of "seeing the big era through the little people", the audience has a process of digging and thinking, and using small opinions to Big, but more powerful.
The Kaikai people see in "Dajiang Dahe" is different from the Kaikai they see in "Flowers". The story of "Running Dog" is also different from typical sitcoms such as "Underground Traffic Station". The creations of each era have new value.
"Gou Sheng Run" is eye-catching because it has innovations, breakthroughs, and passion. The big story of a small character is still enough to touch people's hearts.
