" Qing Yu Nian Season 2 " was broadcast last night. My Weibo homepage looked like it was celebrating the New Year, with screenshots and clips flying all over the place.
I also quickly went to review it, but in the third episode, I was hit on the spot by the death of Lao Jintou. An ordinary person was played by fate, and all traces of his death were completely erased with just a few buckets of water. It was really too cruel. .
This is also the paragraph that made me realize that although the second season is still covered in a light comedy and drama, the narrative inside has changed. The core and focus of is on "people".
Yes, "Qing Yu Nian Season 2" is no longer just a male video narrative. It uses Fan Xian's perspective to talk about what people should live for.
is really the second season of the legitimate children!
In the first season, Fan Xian encountered a series of different camps including the eldest prince, Sean, Beiqi, and the eldest princess who seemed to be opponents, but in fact had enemies and friends. It was not until the end that
revealed that the most direct enemy within the borders of the Qing Kingdom was another ally of the eldest princess, the second prince.
The last episode throws out an ultimate twist that almost overturns all the previous ones. Yan Bingyun, who behaves well, gives Fan Xian a sword. How Fan Xian, who had been lying on the ground for five years until his air leaked, was reincarnated became the first revealed project in the second season.
Fortunately, " Qing Yu Nian " maintains the original flavor and does not turn difficulties into an insurmountable hurdle. The beginning of the second season succinctly explains Mr. Xiao Fan's "rebirth" and how he can successfully return to Kyoto with Wang Qinian's clever arrangements.
Fan Xian's smooth return to Beijing is full of the flavor of Teacher Juan's handwriting, full of foreshadowing and humorous twists. In the first season of
, Lin Wan'er used Fan Xian's ugly calligraphy to identify Fan Xian himself; in this season, Fan Xian relied on "copying" his own ugly calligraphy to get the old man's name card. In the first episode of
, some viewers felt that the funeral ceremony in front of the city gate was too slow. However, it was only in the third episode that the function of turning the funeral into a bustling city came into play.
And last season, I was always living in the lines, and I was constantly called back by Wang Qinian who said that his wife was dead and his daughter was dependent on each other.
Wang Qinian is a domineering daughter, and she often tells the children in the neighborhood that her own father will return to dust and return to the earth. What a simple and efficient way to keep secret.
is indeed the familiar "Qing".
But aside from these, the most attractive and poignant thing about the second season is that is undoubtedly the focus on NPCs in the world, that is, "people".
Lao Jintou is just an ordinary vegetable seller. His appearance promotes the progress of the story like an NPC, attracting Fan Xian to continue to track the behind-the-scenes of Baoyue Tower. His appearance time is very short, but it is very poignant.
Because although the screenwriter gave him great twists and turns in his fate, being despised by high-ranking officials and being played by powerful people, it also made him always cherish hope for life.
After being slashed, he came out with all his strength to report the news to Fan Xian. Before turning around, he was thinking about selling vegetables to repay Fan Xian, his benefactor. His last words left in this world were, "It's good to be alive." ".
With only a few strokes, the character's pity and deplorability are fully described.
His death was like a flicker of water to others, leaving no trace.
But for Fan Xian, it was another heavy blow after Teng Zijing's death. He once again saw part of the true face of the world: world harmony is just a false fantasy written by Ye Qingmei, and the real celebration The country is still just an evil beast whose power overwhelms human rights.
The road that Fan Xian wants to prove has just begun.
Three elements of coolness to achieve "advanced coolness"
After reading these, someone may have asked, does the second season still look cool?
This brings us to another point of our iterative update in the second season. We still have a good feel for the drama, but this time it is "advanced cool". We still have some three key elements of fun.
For example, the rhythm of in the second season is not simply to play fast, but to unravel the refreshing feeling in detail, leaving you with an aftertaste and stamina.
Take the scene in the Baoyue Tower in Episode 4 as an example. This scene has already been foreshadowed by the matter of "meeting the boss".
Fan Xian acted as a gentleman, but unexpectedly, his younger brother Fan Sizhe was waiting for him, so he beat him up violently. Before he could understand the cause and effect, the third prince of his second employer came again.
The sense of urgency of the matter immediately became stronger.
Just after taking care of the third prince, the second prince and his men came in aggressively, surrounding Fan Xian until he had nowhere to escape.
It seemed like a desperate situation, but the prince appeared like a magic weapon from heaven. A total of four waves of characters were introduced. The sense of urgency was layered one after another, and the crises were one after another. So in the end, Fan Xian was safe and sound, which made people breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, I felt very happy.
This is the story tension brought by the precise rhythm of the drama, which is far more exciting and exciting than if Fan Xian directly took out the prince card and faced off against the second prince.
Doesn’t it mean that the tighter the rhythm and the tighter the wrapping, the more tense and enjoyable it will be? Neither.
This involves another factor, that is, the port. In the second quarter, we do not engage in dense stacking, but are more relaxed and post-positioned, and inadvertently add some .
The reason why many mindless dramas don’t feel good at the end, but just feel tired, is because they are too full, and all the bloody elements of slap-in-the-face and twists are piled together, making it dizzying to watch.
But "Celebrating More Than Years" does not, it always shakes off a few baggage at the right time. Chen Pingping thought that Fan Xian was really dead, so she just tragically shouted that she wanted to "compensate", but Fan's father asked him to pay now, and he immediately declined. A hand.
The second prince received the news of Fan Xian's death and was entering into the brainstorming session with a serious expression on "This guy will definitely not die, what should I do next", and then said the cruel words "I know Fan Xian turned into ashes".
The confidants immediately took out Fan Xian's ashes.
This kind of casual gag is not too low in one episode. It not only makes the emotional tension of the characters full, but also does not make the audience feel rumination fatigue.
Of course, the most important of the three elements is that really respects the audience's IQ . The characters use their brains during the game, rather than acting like stereotyped NPCs.
Let’s talk about the scene in Baoyue Tower. It seems that Fan Xian teamed up with the prince to force the second prince to retreat, but in fact the matter in Baoyue Tower has not been resolved. Who is Yuan Meng? Who is leading the human trafficking in Baoyuelou? What kind of backup plan does the second prince have?
These are mysteries that need to be solved urgently. It may seem like a small relief, but Fan Xian is actually hitting a wall. The second prince is not just a face-slapping tool in this stage. The character has its own long-term development.
Even the most poignant point of this paragraph is, is Fan Xian's struggle useful?
The collision between the modern soul of his body and the ancient rules brought him world-wide fame, but also brought him great pain. It was the impact of naked reality on his heart.
This is another core that the screenwriter buried in the story besides the sense of fun.
The preacher who entered the game
There is no doubt that the style of the second season continues the flavor of the first season, but its core has changed, which is inevitable.
"Celebrating More Than Years" is a drama that focuses on remakes of male videos and exciting stories. It can be suitable for all ages and is suitable for both men and women. It does not just rely on the reverse plot and the "nipple fun" of the cool stories. Because the character of the male protagonist has always been very stable -
Fan Xian is a comfortable romantic. Like his real "master" the poet Li Bai, is a person who is not obsessed with power itself, but just wants to use power. The heirs of civilization who bring a better world to the world.
In the first season of "My Fathers and Me", "My Fathers and Me" is a philatelic fun for many fans of cool novels. Whenever they discover that in Fan Xian's world, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there is a father outside the father, the audience will I can't help but feel that it's both nonsensical and heartfelt, a sense of release from the heir standing at the center of the universe.
The six "my good dads" are Emperor Qing, who represents the true monarch and minister, father and son, Chen Pingping, the spiritual guidance soul teacher, Master Fan, who is a traditional father and son in upbringing, and Tutoring Fee, who is once a teacher and always a father. Uncle Wu Zhu, who was designated by his master and biological mother to protect his safety, and his father-in-law Lin Xiang, who entrusted the whole family to him, symbolized mission and responsibility.
If the first season was about meeting and enlightening fathers, and being guided and helped by the seniors, then the beginning of the second season is about the handover between the two generations, and Fan Xian’s own choice between these multiple parties. .
If "Celebrating More Than Years" is a mediocre work, then a large part of it will be devoted to how Fan Xian cleverly uses the resources and power of the six fathers to live up to the ultimate fantasy of the protagonist of the male video.
But the reason why "Celebrating More Than Years" is "Celebrating More Than Years" is that Fan Xian chose the inheritance of "my mother Ye Qingmei, who I have never met" in various patriarchal struggles.
In the first season, Fan Xian found the direction to strive for in this world through the death of Teng Zijing; and in the second season, this struggle has been repeatedly polished into the edges of compromise, not only the apparent enemy After ordering Fan Xian to compromise, people around him even asked Fan Xian to learn the basic rules of life in Qing Kingdom.
As a modern person, Fan Xian already knows where the world leads, so that he can truly achieve unity in the world. In the previous game, he was more about outputting his views and sharing his views on the world with everyone. Today's Fan Xian still has the original fearlessness, but he does not just use his protagonist's halo to promote the truth.
Ye Qingmei is also a prophet who knows everything, but she knows it but can't do it between all parties.
Now Fan Xian has spread quite a lot of inspiration with his works, planting the seeds of the future, and "how to move the boulder" is a more realistic question.
To fight against the intertwined interests in the conservative world, it is impossible to pass the level by turning on cheats.
If integrity is only expressed in words and articles, then this ideal is just a thought. What Fan Xian wants to do is undoubtedly to break the golden finger itself with the help of the golden finger.
Whenever he sees that there is one more Teng Zijing and one more old man Jin in the world, Fan Xian cannot really relax.
He will continue to walk into the distance, to the top of the mountains that can compete with Emperor Qing, and to the temple that seems to be only a legend.
e Conclusion
I am not a fan of male video narratives. The reason why I enjoyed watching "Celebrating More Than Years" is that although it is the basis of the male video story, the core is still human narrative .
previously watched the film ahead of time and listened to screenwriter Jian Da talk about the creative concept of this season. He said that the second season is the process of how Fan Xian, as a painful soul, gradually awakens and then challenges the world. I couldn't get it at that time. Where was Fan Xian's pain? He is Master Xiao Fan, sitting on the golden fingers of 6 fathers. He is a poetry fairy praised by everyone, and he is already close to the top of the power system of the old era.
But at the moment when Lao Jintou died unexpectedly, his pain and helplessness moved me instantly, and I completely understood the source of his pain.
Fan Xian's ego may be able to blend into this strange era through disguise, but his superego will always keep his soul above reality. What he felt was a high-level pain of abandoning material power, which was the separation caused by the difference between the soul and the times.
When he was in Qingguo, he was like the poet who used dreams as horses in Haizi's works. "He had to walk on the same road as martyrs and clowns. Everyone wanted to extinguish the fire, but I alone held the fire high."
What he is about to lift is his own fire of humanity, and it is also the background of the character that is still moving five years later.
