Episode 35 I want to talk about Shen Tunan’s wife Su Cishu, who is rarely mentioned. She was the epitome of most people at that time.
War has always been a struggle between the upper class, and the people are forced to move forward, and the suffering does not fall on them. It is difficult for them to understand why the war is going on, and why the two sides have to fight against each other if they have no grievances.
Even an upper-class person like Su Cishu must have better cultural awareness than ordinary people. She didn't understand this at the beginning. There were only Shen Tunan, Shen Jinzhen and Xiao Yu'er in her world. This was her country, she of Xu.
In order for the family to be neat and happy, she can ignore Shen Tunan's beliefs, or she can ignore what Shen Jinzhen pursues. She doesn't understand politics, nor does she understand camp struggles. All she knows is Home.
But in episode 35, she who had never touched politics before actually offered to help Shen Jinzhen steal Shen Tunan's code book, because she really realized who her enemy was, the corrupt government.
Because of Shen Tunan's work, her daughter fell ill and was in poor mental condition. Shen Tunan was not accepted by her daughter because of her work. She could not live the happy life she had before. She was worried all day long and could not live in peace for a day.
So she had to let Shen Tunan leave the government so that her life could get back on track. She also deeply understood that the people in the Soviet area where Shen Jinzhen lived could really live and work in peace and contentment. This was also an awakening, and it was also the awakening process for many people in that era.
They don’t know what politics is, and they don’t have access to the public, but they know what home is.
Whoever is destroying their home or building their home, when they see the killing, they will pick up a gun to defend, and they will follow the correct beliefs.
Su Dishu’s line is not that strong in existence, but “Wind Chaser” made it clear through this character that most of the people at that time were coerced, but slowly became participants until they became builders.
Episode 36, Shen Jinzhen died, a blow from the screenwriter.
Shen Jinzhen is the heroine of "Storm Chaser". According to the logic of previous domestic dramas, the heroine usually has a happy ending in the end, or the aura of the protagonist is forcibly arranged.
But in episode 36, "Storm Chaser" once again allowed us to see the respect mentioned before, not to be frivolous, nor to perform miracles that can turn disaster into good luck every time.
Revolution is never smooth sailing. There will definitely be bloodshed and sacrifice, both the common people and the Red Army. However, Shen Jinzhen’s sacrifice is faithfully restored. This is respect for history and respect for the ancestors who have overcome all obstacles.
Shen Jinzhen may not have a prototype, but she is like thousands of storm chasers. For the ideal, for the revolution, and for the new China, she is willing to protect the people with her own body. Such sacrifices are valuable and meaningful.
Unlike other domestic dramas, which always involve unnecessary sacrifices in exchange for the audience’s tears, this not only misinterprets history, but also misleads the audience into thinking that heroes are only reckless. Such TV dramas are full of Utilitarian, just want to be praised, but ignore the facts.
"Storm Chaser" is a story about red finance, but I also hope that "Storm Chaser" can become the "Storm Chaser" of domestic dramas, so that those domestic dramas who want to empathize with the audience but always underestimate the audience will know what it is. Respect means respecting both history and the audience. TV dramas should not be made up.
The spy war scenes in "Storm Chasers" don't seem to have that big a proportion, and the process isn't just the traditional spy war dramas of infiltrating the enemy, transmitting intelligence over the radio, or eavesdropping, which seems a bit unusual. .
In other words, it is rather strange, but it is this strangeness that allows us to see the other side of the spy war - reality. Sometimes the spy war is not necessarily a secret fight between you and me. The tit-for-tat confrontation on the surface is also a component.
How does "The Storm Chaser" show this reality? Details - newspapers.
Unlike other spy war dramas, you can always get the speeches of important figures on the other side. This is a difficult task to complete in a real spy war. Most spy wars are completed through the trivial and inconspicuous aspects of life.
Newspapers are everywhere on the streets. They are important tools for public opinion, but they are also tools that are not very noticeable. The design of "The Storm Chaser" is a pun, which shows Wei Ruolai's character traits and his good skills. Analysis, secondly, allows the audience to see the other side of the real spy war.
For example, Shen Tunan published a newspaper and asked Wei Ruolai to find out the lowest price of tungsten sand through the newspaper. This was just because Wei Ruolai had the habit of reading newspapers, but this kind of attention became the key to Wei Ruolai's tungsten sand trading.
Wei Ruolai's ability and thinking to think of newspapers and use them was not groundless or miraculous, but the director had foreshadowed the relevant plot in the previous plot.
For example, when he was in Shanghai, the walls of his home were covered with newspapers, which shows that he loved reading newspapers. He used the information in the newspapers to find out the financial methods Shen Tunan used when he first arrived in Shanghai, and thus entered the central bank.
later became deeply aware of the decay of the government, and cooperated with Lao Xu to expose their internal gangsterism. The method used was also in the form of a newspaper. Now the newspaper has become an important point to break the situation. In contrast to the previous part, it shows the tightness of the structure of the play. , every reversal is a rigorous interpretation.
In addition to the maturity of the script, the last two episodes also have the character's sublimation of Tao.
each used their own beliefs to realize their original ambitions. The characters completed intertextuality and did not commit the common problems of domestic dramas. In the end, the character settings collapsed.
Wei Ruolai appeared in the first scene. His ambition is to serve the country and achieve a career. After getting acquainted with Shen Tunan, he became a close mentor and disciple with him, hoping to fight together.
Shen Tunan is dedicated to serving the country. Even if he is a mess, he still wants to do practical things for the country and the people. He is more like a brother to Wei Ruolai. He appreciates his original intention and talent, and hopes that he can do the same.
In the end, both of them walked on the road they insisted on, fighting side by side. Shanghai was their starting point, and meeting again was another starting point. They had changed, but they had not changed.
The characters' beliefs remain the same, but they have all completed growth and transformation.
This step-by-step deconstruction method is suitable for speed, and the audience is comfortable to watch but also reluctant to leave, because the whole drama is over. However, if there is a second season, the story will be extremely dangerous, because Wei Ruolai and Gu Yan (Shen Tunan) meet in Shanghai The Battle of Songhu broke out the next year, and Shanghai fell.
