Please allow me to start with a line from Wei Ruolai.
"There is an old saying in China, riding on the long wind and breaking thousands of miles of waves, the barren land you see, as long as you give time and patience, will grow into an economic farmland that can support the world."
The drama "Wind Chaser", and its sequel can be said to perfectly interpret the artistic conception of this sentence, which makes people applaud. The sequel to
is, of course, the prosperous age of China today.
I have finished watching the 38th episode finale of "Storm Chaser".
When I saw the last scene of the whole drama, Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan, who had survived the disaster, met and smiled at the Shanghai Stock Exchange after the July 7th Incident, I was really filled with emotions and couldn't hide my excitement.
I donāt know how everyone feels after watching this drama. Anyway, my heart is surging, feeling that a domestic spy drama has finally turned around in one battle, riding the long wind and breaking through the waves of thousands of miles.
To be honest, the finale of this drama moved me even more than the finale of the high-scoring spy drama "Renegade" 4 years ago.
And the quality of the series, in my mind, is also the best Chinese drama since the beginning of the year.
In fact, the performance of the show also proves this point. The ratings opened at a high level and broke 2 many times in the closing stage. The finale Kuyun ratings averaged 2.1783 and peaked at 2.6642, both new highs.
is still popular on the broadcast platform and has exceeded 10,000, setting the highest popularity in the history of the spy drama on the entire network.
"People's Daily" and "Wenhui Po" wrote articles praising the series. Two words reveal the key to the success of the series: innovation.
In my opinion, the essence of "Storm Chaser" is actually a period drama with a sense of history. But entering a spy story from a financial perspective is unprecedented.
Being bold in art often has two consequences, either a big victory or a total loss.
After watching the finale of "Wind Chaser" and looking back at the previous plot, one word "win" is no longer enough to summarize the success of the series. The most accurate summary is actually the original title of the series: "Riding the Wind and Waves".
1: Let me be honest about the finale
. Except for masterpieces of spy war dramas such as " Kite " and " Cliff ", most of the domestic spy war dramas did not end well.
But it is not an exaggeration. In the first 10 minutes of episode 37, "Storm Chaser" has firmly caught my attention.
After two episodes and 90 minutes, it is like a wonderful spy movie. The last two episodes of
can actually be divided into three major scenes.
The first big drama: Cao Chuan borrows "tungsten".
The person who borrowed the arrows from the straw boat was Wei Ruolai, and what he borrowed was more than 10 tons of tungsten sand seized by Shen Tunan and Lin Qiaosong.
Shen Tunan is indeed a good method.
At one end, the Guangdong army personnel who were smuggling tungsten ore were caught and tortured to extract confessions.
On the other end, we went straight to the customs, arrested the foreigners who opened the door for the Guangdong Army's movement, followed the clues, and obtained the tungsten ore traded between us and the Guangdong Army.
Originally, we had already secured the victory. We only needed to negotiate the price with foreign businessmen, and we could follow Nanjing's instructions to not only interrupt our tungsten ore supply chain, but also establish the Kuomintang's tungsten ore supply chain. It would be a combination of elimination and destruction. It was so awesome. .
Unfortunately, the opponent he met was his former Shanghai apprentice, Wei Ruolai.
At this time, Wei Ruolai originally wanted nothing, but his defeat was already decided.
But there is one thing: he predicted the master's prediction.
When Shen Tunan negotiated the price with the foreign businessman and was about to complete the transaction, Secretary Huang, who had been smart for a whole season, whispered in his ear: The goods have been loaded on the ship.
"What ship are you on?" Shen Tunan and Lin Qiaosong reacted at the same time and were fooled.
When they arrived at the dock, they saw the freighter carrying the tungsten ore Yang Fan away, and the raging fire left by Wei Ruolai and the others.
The flames illuminated the sea. This time, Shen Tunan was completely defeated by his apprentice.
But the second good show has just begun: secretly crossing Chencang.
Getting the tungsten ore is not the end, only being able to transport it out is the end.
And Shen Tunan has already predicted that there was a problem with train transportation last time, and this time we will definitely use the waterway.
Soon, the three people met again on the train.
Shen Tunan predicted that there was a problem? There is no problem with Shen Tunan's judgment.
The tungsten ore was being transported along the waterway. Wei Ruolai and the others got on the train to build a plank road for Lin Qiaosong and cross to Chencang secretly.
Lin led heavy troops to control the train, but was pinned down by Wei Ruolai and the others. This round was actually lost.
The story ends here. Director Yao Xiaofeng has completely captured the "magic weapon" for spy war dramas!
What spy dramas to watch? What you see is the game between you and me, and what you see is the tense and exciting atmosphere.
These are all well presented in the finale of "Storm Chaser".
The story, editing, switching, and atmosphere are just right, and the tension makes the audience breathless.
But if thatās all it is, the finale can only be considered a masterpiece, not a masterpiece.
What makes the finale so special is the third scene: the life-and-death showdown.
The fate of the three main characters is about to be revealed.
Shen Jinzhen has been sacrificed and offline. These three characters are Shen Tunan, Wei Ruolai's master and apprentice, and the biggest villain in the show and the most insane man in the Republic of China, Lin Qiaosong.
Lin Qiaosong is crazy, but not stupid.
Our side and the Guangdong army had just started fighting, and Shen Tunan said leisurely to Lin: Let's watch a show.
Lin Qiaosong took out his gun and pointed it at Shen Tunan: Shen Tunan, are you tired? From the moment you get in the car, you have been buying time for Wei Ruolai.
shot directly after being humiliated. I want to give Nanjing a first blow and then a warning.
Shen Tunan was hit by a bullet. At the moment of life and death, it was Secretary Huang who stood in front of Shen Tunan regardless of his own safety and took all the bullets.
Over the years, he and his husband have been in danger many times and escaped death several times, but this time, he can no longer protect his husband, and Shen Tunan also told him all the truth before his death: He The ideals that were once unwavering have changed.
Although Huang Mi never changed his position, the audience really couldn't dislike this financial elite of the Republic of China who died for his confidants.
In fact, no matter where Mr. goes, he will follow him to the death. The ancient Chinese meaning cannot be more obvious in him.
Lin Qiaosong's biggest mistake was to underestimate the scholar next to Shen Tunan and not to kill Shen Tunan completely.
He couldn't kill Shen Tunan. Next, it was Shen Tunan's turn to avenge Huang Mi and his sister.
Just when Team Lin rushed out of the car and fought hand to hand with Wei Ruolai, who was unable to fight back and was hanging on by a thread, Shen Tunan stumbled and opened the car door. Without any hesitation, he fired several bullets and killed Lin Qiaosong with his hands.
I have to say, this is really the most relieving moment in the whole drama.
But just when Shen Tunan pointed the gun at Wei Ruolai, he slowly put down the gun.
Here, the play gave the master and apprentice their last rivalry scene with lines.
The train roared forward, and the two sighed with emotion, and their fate was twists and turns.
As the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, everything has changed drastically. Neither of them is the same person they used to be.
Young man Wei Ruolai was once young, full of ambitions and ambitions, and set out to conquer Shanghai.
Today, he has a clear vision and foresight, and has become a new generation of red financiers.
Shen Tunan, who once worked hard to serve as the vanguard of the Kuomintang's suppression of the Communists, even brought his family from Shanghai to Jiangxi, and together with Lin Qiaosong, wanted to block the Soviet area's economy and caused heavy damage to us, he finally woke up completely.
first personally smashed Lin's poisonous rice plan, and then personally delayed Wei Ruolai's time. Even if he did not join us, this former top financial elite of the Kuomintang had already changed his direction in his heart.
At this point, the two masters and disciples are surviving the disaster.
Wei Ruolai successfully completed his mission and broke through the Kuomintang's economic blockade for the Soviet area.
Shen Tunan, after avenging his sister Huang Mi, walked out of the train calmly with a commissioner's certificate in hand.
Lin Qiaosong, who personally killed his lover's brother Song Shoutian, eventually betrayed his family and separated from his family. He didn't even complete his brother Biaozi's instructions to send his mother some money, and he ushered in his final fate and ending.
As for the final ending of Shen Tunanās master and apprentice, in my opinion, it is completely open-ended.
The two met again in Shanghai after the July 7th Incident. Shen was still a pivotal financial tycoon, while Wei Ruolai had transformed into a mature financial espionage master.
Judging from the plot setting, this finale can be regarded as the beginning of "Storm Chaser 2".
even without a sequel.
As soon as this plot came out, I was still extremely satisfied and filled with emotions. The master and the apprentice were there to survive all the calamities, and they met and smiled and lost their grudges.
2: About "Storm Chaser"
After watching "Storm Chaser" for the first time, I was optimistic but had doubts in my heart. Because of finance + espionage, innovation also has risks. If the story is not told well, no matter how good the gimmick is, it is just a gimmick.
Unexpectedly, "Storm Chaser" did it.
In the entire drama, not one episode is a waste of writing. From the beginning to the end, there are strange peaks rising. If the river is mighty, one wave follows another, one wave is higher than the other, and every wave is the finishing touch.
Especially after watching a few episodes, you will really get into the drama. The more you watch, the more addicted you will be. The more you watch, the more interesting it becomes.
Looking back, although "Storm Chaser" has spy elements, it is not a typical spy drama.
is not a typical spy war drama, but its performance of spy war elements is higher than almost all spy war dramas in recent years.
joined forces with Wei Ruolai's master and apprentice, and went through several ups and downs in the depressing and suffocating financial anti-corruption and reform in Shanghai. In the end, they were defeated by the Kuomintang's corruption that was rotten to the core.
When Wei Ruolai left Jiangxi, the missions on both sides were impossible, and the plots were plotted. You came and I went back and forth, and the thrills continued.
The espionage part has been almost perfected by the series.
To be honest, the espionage front in the play is just a side line. The real main line of
is actually the mental journey of Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan, the master-disciple pair, in their game in the financial field and their belief transformation.
Another main line is the Kuomintang's economic "encirclement and suppression" and anti-economic "encirclement and suppression" of the Soviet area behind the public showdown between master and apprentice Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan.
For many viewers, it was probably through this drama that they realized that stock trading was like this at that time, and the stock prices were so updated. It turned out that in Shanghai in the 1930s, the financial war was also so exciting.
It was also through this drama that the audience saw step by step how the Kuomintang lost people's support in the financial field, and how the "eldest sister" behind it stole the country and made money, completely helping the Kuomintang destroy people's support.
It is through this drama that the audience understands what the economic activities were like in the red base areas back then.
"Where does the money come from" for the Red Army to fight the war? What did we on the economic front do? What about the bank on the pole in the Soviet area?
Young man Wei Ruolai can be said to have grown up step by step with Soviet Area Finance.
From being confused and exploring, deciding to join, to hearing about it and finding the goal that he has been pursuing for his whole life, every step he took was delicately and truly displayed.
The most amazing thing is the fate of the male and female protagonists. The two did not start a true love, but it was Shen Jinzhen's death that made Wei Ruolai's faith completely firm.
Although this plot is only for one episode, it successfully touches on the topic and completely sublimates all the previous plots.
When Wei Ruolai moved with the Red Army troops and the music played, my heart surged, I couldn't conceal my excitement, I was speechless and choked, and shed tears of emotion.
For a time, all kinds of magnificent historical scenes surged in my mind.
People often say that good film and television dramas can make the audience empathize instantly, and "Storm Chaser" does it.
3: Regarding the acting skills of the actors
After watching "The Storm Chaser", there was a lot of discussion about the casting of the actors in the drama in the early stages.
However, as the plot progressed, the actors conquered the audience with their excellent performances.
, especially Wang Yang and Wang Yibo , performed far beyond my expectations.
Wang Yang acted well, of course, but I didn't expect it to be so good.
The character Shen Tunan played by him was decisive and capable in the opening scene, with a clear mind and calm mind. In the middle of
, he was repeatedly betrayed by this rotten party-state, and he was depressed and hesitant.
finally endured and waited for change, and was reborn in Nirvana.
He was always extremely tender to his wife, children, sister, and Wei Ruolai. His sister betrayed his beliefs, and his apprentice betrayed his beliefs, leaving him in deep trouble in the country. He could only curse a few words.
But in the face of evil people, he is so angry and thunderous, and gives people an innate domineering attitude.
In spy dramas, there are few such three-dimensional and complex characters. In my opinion, the depth of the characters is even better than that of "Renegade".
Shen Tunan is not a lofty elite who is ignorant of people's livelihood sufferings. From the beginning, he told Wei Ruo:
"Many people in China are still eating bark and grass roots. Even in Shanghai, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in slums."
But it took a whole season to really complete the change of faith. I even felt that it was a waste to shoot one season just for the character Shen Tunan. At least one more season, a financial espionage during the Anti-Japanese War, would be enjoyable.
and Wang Yibo also impressed me.
The good thing about Wang Yibo is that he played the real reaction of an ordinary person when faced with a world that he cannot control. When he first came to Shanghai, Wei Ruolai seemed like a silly boy with a little cleverness, but the more he went on, the more he became more and more interesting to the audience. See the characterās blood and backbone.
Especially for contemporary young audiences, it may be difficult to understand the unswerving faith of the older generation, but it is through this character that how the unswerving revolutionary faith was established and how it can be unswerving , only then shines the arc of humanity.
There are also the hard-working but tragic coachman Awen, the shrewd and kind-hearted landlord Aunt Zhou, Wei Ruolai's baby brother, the noisy rural girl Niu Chunmiao, Wang Xueqi's Shanghai underground party leader Xu Nuo, etc. Each image is very distinctive and unforgettable.
Although Wang Xueqi did not give full play to his acting skills most of the time, he only used the final scene to perform the role of an underground party member. He talked and laughed freely during life and death. The oath to join the party before the sacrifice was tear-jerking - "I wish to live by this." , support the party's program, abide by the party's charter, fulfill the obligations of party members, implement the party's decisions, strictly abide by the party's disciplines, the secrets of the conservative party, be loyal to the party, and never betray the party."
Xu Nuo fulfilled every word. .
Even the villain who had a one-sided image in the past was Zhang Tianyang performed the style of the most insane man in the Republic of China. He was stylish and stylish, ruthless and unforgivable, but he also had his own beliefs and friendship, making the audience hate him. I was itching my teeth with hatred, but I couldn't help but empathize with him.
Especially, this time, the spy war drama did not weaken or even vilify the opponent until the end. The reason why he lost to Wei Ruolai was not because he was stupid, but because Wei did play a better game.
That's right. If the enemies are all useless, why did the martyrs have to pay such tragic sacrifices!
It was precisely because he had to face a tough opponent like Lin Qiaosong that the final victory was even more heroic and great.
If I were to give a score to the entire performance, I think it exceeded expectations and a perfect score of 10 would not be an exaggeration.
4: Regarding the future of spy war dramas
Of course, the final stage of the series cannot be said to be without any flaws, especially the plot before the end. Shen Tunan will be arrested whenever he wants to be arrested, and he will escape whenever he wants. The cause and effect are not very clear. .
Lin Qiaosong seemed to be out of control. He did all kinds of evil in the Soviet area and bombed wherever he wanted. It would be too outrageous.
However, looking at the whole drama, it is still enough to prove that it is not only traditional spy dramas that have an audience. Whether it is financial espionage or newer spy genres, if it is well shot, there will be an audience to buy it.
What is so good about "The Storm Chaser"?
is innovation first.
is not only about the subject matter, but also finance as the shell, with the master and apprentice as the core, and then follows the experiences of the two people to show the story of that era. But in terms of plot, it breaks out of the Liu Yunlong model of past spy war dramas of the Republic of China and creates a new space.
Secondly, it is a solid way of service.
The production of real spy war dramas does not have to be gorgeous, the most important thing is to be real.
I wonāt say too much, but letās talk about Qibao Street. I can really feel that this is the residence of a group of poor workers on the edge of Shanghai. It is messy and overcrowded, but it has the atmosphere of life and convincing old street fireworks. gas.
Also, the clothes of people on Qibao Street are really "shabby".
Wang Yibo put on a torn cotton-padded jacket and shrank from the cold to wash up. That sense of reality came out.
In that dark era, in the turbulent Shanghai, only with a sense of reality can there be a sense of bloody cruelty. The tone of the story is very calm, but there is also the warmth of human feelings in the calmness.
Finally, there are real people.
What is the biggest theme of the whole drama?
In my opinion, ten words: A gentleman is known as righteousness, and a villain is known as benefit.
Who is the villain?
Kang Ye, Yu Shiqing, and those Nanjing figures who commanded by remote control on the phone only have profit in their eyes.
Who is a gentleman?
Xu Nuo, Wei Ruolai, Shen Tunan, and even the coachman brothers Awen and Wei Ruolai met in prison, in their eyes, it is beneficial and more righteous.
At the end of the story, what attracted me the most was not the spy war, but the people who went with the flow and went against the current as the fate of this country in this period of history.
Why do they live and why do they die?
Awen did not die for Wei Ruolai in the conventional way, but was forced to death by the Kuomintang's stockbroking.
The heroine Shen Jinzhen did not die for the hero, but died in the Soviet area to save the children.
Xu Nuo died for the Partyās beliefs.
Huang Mi died for her husband.
They deserved their death.
Where is the living Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan? Why were they born? Not for myself, but for the future of this country and this nation.
is what Shen Tunan said, hoping that the next generation can live in a prosperous age.
The story begins in Shanghai and ends in Shanghai. Exchanges move from south to north, one after another. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the rolling torrent of the times is always on the road.
I kept thinking while watching the drama, what is wind? I think, the wind is this country. glorious future. The era of
is finally getting better.
The prosperous age will eventually come.
This is a financial espionage hit, and it should have the spiritual core it deserves.
Domestic spy games have been languishing for a long time, and finally they are turning around.
A good spy drama is Feng.
viewers are trend chasers.
Soon, the three people met again on the train.
Shen Tunan predicted that there was a problem? There is no problem with Shen Tunan's judgment.
The tungsten ore was being transported along the waterway. Wei Ruolai and the others got on the train to build a plank road for Lin Qiaosong and cross to Chencang secretly.
Lin led heavy troops to control the train, but was pinned down by Wei Ruolai and the others. This round was actually lost.
The story ends here. Director Yao Xiaofeng has completely captured the "magic weapon" for spy war dramas!
What spy dramas to watch? What you see is the game between you and me, and what you see is the tense and exciting atmosphere.
These are all well presented in the finale of "Storm Chaser".
The story, editing, switching, and atmosphere are just right, and the tension makes the audience breathless.

It was precisely because he had to face a tough opponent like Lin Qiaosong that the final victory was even more heroic and great.
If I were to give a score to the entire performance, I think it exceeded expectations and a perfect score of 10 would not be an exaggeration.
4: Regarding the future of spy war dramas
Of course, the final stage of the series cannot be said to be without any flaws, especially the plot before the end. Shen Tunan will be arrested whenever he wants to be arrested, and he will escape whenever he wants. The cause and effect are not very clear. .
Lin Qiaosong seemed to be out of control. He did all kinds of evil in the Soviet area and bombed wherever he wanted. It would be too outrageous.
However, looking at the whole drama, it is still enough to prove that it is not only traditional spy dramas that have an audience. Whether it is financial espionage or newer spy genres, if it is well shot, there will be an audience to buy it.
What is so good about "The Storm Chaser"?
is innovation first.
is not only about the subject matter, but also finance as the shell, with the master and apprentice as the core, and then follows the experiences of the two people to show the story of that era. But in terms of plot, it breaks out of the Liu Yunlong model of past spy war dramas of the Republic of China and creates a new space.
Secondly, it is a solid way of service.
The production of real spy war dramas does not have to be gorgeous, the most important thing is to be real.
I wonāt say too much, but letās talk about Qibao Street. I can really feel that this is the residence of a group of poor workers on the edge of Shanghai. It is messy and overcrowded, but it has the atmosphere of life and convincing old street fireworks. gas.
Also, the clothes of people on Qibao Street are really "shabby".
Wang Yibo put on a torn cotton-padded jacket and shrank from the cold to wash up. That sense of reality came out.
In that dark era, in the turbulent Shanghai, only with a sense of reality can there be a sense of bloody cruelty. The tone of the story is very calm, but there is also the warmth of human feelings in the calmness.
Finally, there are real people.
What is the biggest theme of the whole drama?
In my opinion, ten words: A gentleman is known as righteousness, and a villain is known as benefit.
Who is the villain?
Kang Ye, Yu Shiqing, and those Nanjing figures who commanded by remote control on the phone only have profit in their eyes.
Who is a gentleman?
Xu Nuo, Wei Ruolai, Shen Tunan, and even the coachman brothers Awen and Wei Ruolai met in prison, in their eyes, it is beneficial and more righteous.
At the end of the story, what attracted me the most was not the spy war, but the people who went with the flow and went against the current as the fate of this country in this period of history.
Why do they live and why do they die?
Awen did not die for Wei Ruolai in the conventional way, but was forced to death by the Kuomintang's stockbroking.
The heroine Shen Jinzhen did not die for the hero, but died in the Soviet area to save the children.
Xu Nuo died for the Partyās beliefs.
Huang Mi died for her husband.
They deserved their death.
Where is the living Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan? Why were they born? Not for myself, but for the future of this country and this nation.
is what Shen Tunan said, hoping that the next generation can live in a prosperous age.
The story begins in Shanghai and ends in Shanghai. Exchanges move from south to north, one after another. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the rolling torrent of the times is always on the road.
I kept thinking while watching the drama, what is wind? I think, the wind is this country. glorious future. The era of
is finally getting better.
The prosperous age will eventually come.
This is a financial espionage hit, and it should have the spiritual core it deserves.
Domestic spy games have been languishing for a long time, and finally they are turning around.
A good spy drama is Feng.
viewers are trend chasers.
