On April 18, the TV series "Riding the Wind and Waves" aired its finale. Peng Jinxi's swimwear factory finally made a comeback after experiencing ups and downs. The sister-in-law and brother-in-law finally made a successful proposal in the finale. This ending does not seem to surprise the audience.
Looking at the entire "Riding the Wind and Waves", the reason why it is excellent is of course that this TV series uses comedy narratives to tell the entrepreneurial stories of ordinary workers. It makes the audience willing to believe that such Entrepreneurial roles are all around us, and entrepreneurial stories like this really happen.
Life is obviously not easy, but it is told in a comedy way in "Riding the Wind and Waves". In the plot, the entrepreneurial journey of Peng Jinxi and others is obviously one threshold after another, or it can be called a tragedy, but after being told in a comedy way by this TV series, the whole drama is full of optimism. This kind of optimism is of great significance to the lives of current audiences.
But the biggest advantage of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is not just the comedy narrative. Its greatest advantage is that the play is filled with a kind of Jianghu morality that is only found in martial arts novels - this kind of Jianghu morality is rare in many of our workplace dramas and entrepreneurial dramas.
This moral integrity is embodied in Peng Jinxi. The opposite of this moral justice is concentrated in Qin Sheng. These are actually two styles of doing business. Peng Jinxi here is more like a hero. He not only wants to succeed in his own business, but also leads the entire Xingcheng swimwear practitioners to succeed together. This character clearly realizes the majesty of a great hero.
On the contrary, in the character Qin Sheng, what everyone sees is that he is unjust and has few helpers. This character is always trying to succeed on his own, and stepping on everyone else, making everyone a stepping stone to his success. There is no moral justice in this character. Qin Sheng is more like a crosstalk talker. He thinks about becoming the emperor of crosstalk and the number one swimsuit in Xingcheng every day. In fact, he is just Ding Chunqiu. He thinks he dominates the world, but in the eyes of people in the world, he is just a scum and the leader of a cult.
In "Riding the Wind and Waves", there is an important narrative clue, which is the battle between Peng Jinxi and Qin Sheng. In the finale, Qin Sheng invited entrepreneurs in the Xingcheng swimwear industry to have dinner, and everyone left the table. The lack of help for those who are unjust is clearly reflected in Qin Sheng. When Xingcheng Swimwear was in trouble, Peng Jinxi shouted, and everyone stepped forward to help with OEM production, and ultimately exceeded the order task.
Such scenes are of course filled with the idealistic color of scholarly creation. However, this kind of story about respecting the morality of the world and helping those who have gained the right can obviously inspire many people. Do you want to be someone like Peng Jinxi, or someone like Qin Sheng? I think every audience who watches "Riding the Wind and Waves" will make their own right choice. This is the purpose of TV dramas to persuade people to do good.
This kind of persuading people to do good achieves the effect of Jin Yong's martial arts. Therefore, truly top-notch TV dramas are not just about telling stories, but about the characters in the stories and the spirit of the characters. The same example also appeared in Mr. Gao Mantang's hit TV series "South to North". In that drama, two heroes performed a heroic act of justice on a train. This is what a great chivalrous man is like.
Excellent TV dramas such as "South and North" and "Riding the Wind and Waves", although they are not martial arts dramas, they have achieved the effect of martial arts dramas. In particular, this kind of "martial arts-like drama" that tells the modern and contemporary stories of Chinese people allows the audience to see the most beautiful character of the Chinese people, and they can see Dedao Duozhu under the blessing of this beautiful character. In fact, as the editor, I have always praised "Riding the Wind and Waves" precisely because it has this ability, and I should help it.
There should be more TV series like "Riding the Wind and Waves". (Text/Ma Qingyun)
