TV series version of "The Three Brigades" is on the air. Actor Li Naiwen, who plays the important role of Pan Dahai, suddenly posted a post, not to promote but to "explain" a question: Why do most viewers hate Pan Dahai?
Shi Lei, the former criminal police officer of the Third Brigade, is roughly equivalent to the audience's mouthpiece. When Cheng Bing was arrested, Shi Lei was the first to rush to Pan Dahai. He believed that Pan Dahai betrayed Cheng Bing.
When Cheng Bing and Shi Lei were applying for passports and preparing to go to Chapang to chase Wang Dayong, Pan Dahai appeared. Shi Lei's first reaction was whether Pan Dahai would use his authority to stumbling on their passports. After all, they are all in the same system.
I guess many viewers have the same impression of Pan Dahai as Shi Lei. They hate Pan Dahai very much. Why? Is Pan Dahai wronged? This article will discuss this topic.
1. The need for artistic creation
Cheng Bing, the male lead in "The Three Brigades" is a positive character. Under normal circumstances, Wang Dayong is the negative male lead, but this negative role has not been able to show up for a long time, and there are too few scenes to be with Cheng Bing. The soldiers formed a confrontation, and when the two of them finally met, it would be the end.
If there were no "villains" around Cheng Bing, except for his buddies from the former Third Brigade who were praised by all the stars, they would be Liu Zi, Zhu Zhu and other people who he helped and are now grateful for. Even his ex-wife and current Zhao is a reasonable man. The protagonist Without obstacles, there is no conflict, which is not good-looking.
At this time, the role of Pan Dahai took on the role of a "villain" and set up some obstacles for Cheng Bing. He was a witness when Cheng Bing beat someone, and he disagreed with Cheng Bing's investigation. Anyway, he and Cheng Bing were in a certain sense. Forming an "oppositional relationship" is the need for the artistic creation of TV dramas.
2. Pan Dahai is right
If you carefully study the main conflict between Pan Dahai and Cheng Bing in "The Three Brigades", you will find that there is nothing wrong with Pan Dahai.
After the whereabouts of Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong were discovered, Pan Dahai wanted to issue a wanted order, but Cheng Bing objected. He was worried that issuing a wanted order would remind Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong that they would know that they were targeted by the police and would be difficult to catch once they hid.
Cheng Bing's statement is very reasonable, but Pan Dahai's approach is also reasonable. Issuing a wanted order can remind the people to be more vigilant. On the other hand, it can also mobilize the masses to find clues. The third one will be a deterrent. Wang Dayong, Wang Eryong.
From the perspective of arresting people, Cheng Bing's method may be more advantageous, but from the perspective of overall stability, Pan Dahai is more reasonable. Facts have proved that Zhao Xiaomai's tragic death was indeed not deserved.
Of course, Cheng Bing's negligence with Zhao Maimai was also due to Pan Dahai. He mistakenly reported the police situation, but then again, if Cheng Bing received such a report, he would also run over and arrest him personally, but he was just unlucky. Great, those two people look so much like Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong.
Cheng Bing punched Wang Eryong in the interrogation room. Pan Dahai saw it and reported it to the inspector truthfully.
After Cheng Bing was arrested, colleagues represented by Shi Lei and most of the audience might think that Pan Dahai was dishonest and betrayed his brothers at a critical moment.
However, we must also understand that Pan Dahai is definitely right to do what he did. He is a policeman. If he conceals it and does not report it, he is breaking the law. Just like Cheng Bing must be punished for beating Wang Eryong, Pan Dahai should also be punished for shielding Cheng Bing. , Shi Lei, Liao Jian, Cai Bin, and Xiao Xu were stripped of their police uniforms just for covering up and concealing the truth.
In this matter, we can sympathize with Cheng Bing, but we must support Pan Dahai. Telling the truth and seeking truth from facts is very important for a police officer.
After Cheng Bing was released from prison, he wanted to chase Wang Dayong, but Pan Dahai objected. Some viewers believed that Pan Dahai was afraid that Cheng Bing would slap him in the face if he caught him. This theory does have a certain market.
But there is nothing wrong with Pan Dahai disagreeing with this matter. Chasing and escaping is the job of the police, not Cheng Bing. Although Cheng Bing's personal voluntary pursuit can be regarded as helping the police, his situation can easily put himself in danger. .
Once something happens to Cheng Bing during the pursuit, regardless of whether Pan Dahai has stopped him before, he has an "unshirkable responsibility". This is obvious, and his superiors will not spare Pan Dahai at that time.
Therefore, Pan Dahai did not agree with Cheng Bing's pursuit and escape. On the one hand, it was to protect him, and on the other hand, it was also to protect himself. Especially overseas pursuit and escape was full of risks. Cheng Bing's experience also illustrates the problem.
Let me tell you a little more. In the prototype story "Please tell the director, the mission of the Third Brigade has been completed", Cheng Bing's pursuit was hidden from everyone. No one knew why he was wandering around and working. He explained it to his acquaintances. I have worked within the system for too long and am looking for a free life.
If Cheng Bing in the TV series "Third Brigade" said that he wanted to go out and relax because he had been in prison for ten years for too long, there would probably be no Pan Dahai to stop him.
Of course, the most respectable thing about Pan Dahai is that he clearly has the ability to stop Cheng Bing. For example, he really stumbled them as Shi Lei said, but Pan Dahai still only stopped him verbally, without stumbling or making small moves. Soldiers are free in action, and Pan Dahai's failure to actually stop him is also a sign of obeying the law and discipline.
3. Pan Dahai’s helplessness
Some viewers questioned that Pan Dahai, as the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, failed to catch Wang Dayong for ten years. In the end, Cheng Bing had to take action. In the end, if he caught Wang Dayong, wouldn’t it prove that Pan Dahai was incompetent?
This cannot be said like this. As the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, Pan Dahai has to deal with different cases every year, every month, every week or even every day. Wang Dayong's case is important, but Pan Dahai's duties and responsibilities determine that he cannot do it. All the energy and police force was spent on this case.
Relatively speaking, Cheng Bing is no longer the captain of the third brigade, but can concentrate all his energy on chasing Wang Dayong. Not only him, but also Liao Jian, Cai Bin, Xiao Xu, Shi Lei, and Lao Ma can assist Cheng Bing in this task. Even Lin Ying, Pan Dahai's subordinate, can provide help to Cheng Bing.
On Pan Dahai's side, one man and one detachment had to face all the cases in the city. On Cheng Bing's side, the former Third Brigade and one brigade only focused on Wang Dayong's case. Naturally, Cheng Bing had the upper hand in terms of efficiency.
Some viewers may think that since Cheng Bing and the others do not have police status, it will be difficult for them to handle cases. This problem is indeed a problem, but not having a police identity will also give Cheng Bing and the others more freedom. They are not bound by disciplines and procedures, and can even collect clues through some "hidden roads".
Pan Dahai and the others found no information about Wang Dayong through the Chapang police. Although Cheng Bing's approach through the Brotherhood was very dangerous, he could find some clues hidden in the corners. This was Cheng Bing's advantage.
We cannot use Cheng Bing to measure Pan Dahai. TV dramas have the operating rules of TV dramas. Since Cheng Bing is the protagonist, he will naturally wear the halo of the protagonist, all perspectives will revolve around him, and all emotions will be set for him. And Pan But Dahai can only be a "villain" to set off the protagonist's halo.
If the audience thinks about the problem from Cheng Bing's point of view, they will naturally feel that Pan Dahai is too rigid and stubborn. If the audience thinks about the problem from Shi Lei's point of view, they will feel that Pan Dahai is too bad and damaged, and his emotions will follow the character. This is probably As Li Naiwen said, "Everyone is a person of temperament."
In fact, Pan Dahai did nothing wrong, but he got the reputation he shouldn't have, so he can be called the most aggrieved person in "The Three Brigades".
