Qin Hao's drama version of "The Three Brigades" was aired for 9 days, with 16 episodes updated, with a market share of 17.6%, and an rating of s+.
surpassed "Flowers" and firmly ranked first on the list.
It can be seen how excellent this drama is and how much attention and discussion it has received from netizens.
While the majority of netizens are enthusiastically following the drama, the large-scale bed drama plot in the drama has also caused quite a bit of controversy.
In particular, the footage of the criminal Wang Eryong raping a 14-year-old high school student made netizens call it unacceptable and physically uncomfortable.
This raises questions, are the director and screenwriter suspected of attracting public attention?
The setting and shaping of other female images in the drama were singled out by some netizens, who believed that the drama crew completely disrespected women.
The female characters in the drama are either weak or lascivious. Is this really used to highlight the male characters?
01
"The Three Brigades": Thousands of people have written petitions for film and television. Who are the "Three Brigades"?
In 2002, a very vicious burglary and rape occurred in a residential building in Guizhou Province, with the victim still in high school.
The person who took over this case was the Third Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the local Public Security Bureau. The captain was Cheng Bing, who is also the main figure we will introduce in detail next.
After receiving the report, the Third Brigade, led by Cheng Bing, immediately launched an operation to arrest the fugitive.
The fugitives are a pair of brothers, Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong. Among them, Wang Dayong was arrested (adapted as Wang Eryong in the play), and Wang Eryong escaped.
When interrogating Wang Dayong, the Third Brigade used some "means", which accidentally led to Wang Dayong's death. Since then, the Third Brigade has been reduced from being a police officer who fights against traitors and supports the weak, to supporting justice, to being a prisoner.
Captain Cheng Bing’s wife and children were separated, his family was broken, his career was stagnant, and his destiny changed.
This accident also ruined the future of the third brigade.
Cheng Bing's life in prison was not easy, and other prisoners were extremely humiliating to him. has changed from a policeman to a criminal, and it is nothing more than falling from the altar.
But this did not dampen Cheng Bing's will. After his sentence was reduced and he was released from prison, he engaged in various jobs and traveled around just to capture Wang Eryong, who was still absconding.
He worked as a porter, courier, truck driver, etc. Finally, while working as a water delivery worker, he found Wang Eryong, captured him, and sent him to the Public Security Bureau.
Wang Eryong, who had been on the run for 12 years, was finally brought to justice, and Cheng Bing completed his mission.
Finally, there were those shocking words. Cheng Bing said to the police officer who retained him: Please tell the director that the mission of the Third Brigade has been completed!
We feel sad for the fate of Cheng Bing, who was obviously the embodiment of justice, but was imprisoned because of an accident; we are even more moved by Cheng Bing's spirit, who persisted for 12 years, never gave up, and finally completed his mission.
Life is not a drama, but reality is more exciting than drama. He obviously looks like an ordinary person, but he lives like a hero.

Netizens commented that Qin Hao's drama version of "The Three Brigades" does not respect women, is large-scale, attracts attention, weakens and smeares women
After the drama version of "The Three Brigades" aired for 10 episodes, there are more and more flaws.
Many netizens said that this drama is too disrespectful to women. Many parts are too large, and it is suspected of attracting attention and weakening and smearing women.
For example, when policewoman Lin Ying was performing a mission, she was not only taken care of by other members of the team, but was also taken hostage while hunting down fugitives. The character image of
, which does not contribute much to the execution of team tasks, but is counterproductive, is set as a female.
netizens questioned that this was a weakening of women's working ability and was intended to highlight the male personality. Today, when the trend of women's freedom and independence is on the rise, the majority of netizens are particularly disgusted with this setting.
In the process of escaping and hiding, Wang Dayong and Wang Eryong were staying in a hotel. The lustful Wang Eryong ordered the "full set" service, but he never expected to encounter the "immortal jump".The scene shown in the
lens showed large nudity of both men and women, and was criticized by netizens for its large scale.
A not very important episode, the image of a woman is set as a sex act, and there is a large-scale sex scene. Netizens think this is smearing the image of women, and they are dissatisfied.

There is another detail in the drama. Cheng Bing's wife Liu Wenfang, as the wife of a police officer, has no understanding of her husband's hardships outside the home. Instead, she keeps complaining, having cold wars with her husband, and forcing her husband to divorce.
Under the influence of the aura of the protagonist Cheng Bing, the audience will naturally be dissatisfied with Liu Wenfang. This comparison made the majority of netizens complain.

Drama version of "The Three Brigades": Rather than saying that we don't respect women, it's better to say that we are too involved in the drama
First of all, Lin Ying is set in the drama as a female college student who has just graduated. It is human nature to lack experience at work.
Lin Ying, as a newly recruited female police officer, has a relatively petite figure.
The drug dealer in the play is tall, fat and agile. Being held hostage is not so unacceptable.
Moreover, Lin Ying's performance after being held hostage really amazed everyone.
When facing the threat to her life from drug dealers, the editor saw calmness and wisdom in Lin Ying's eyes. In the end, with a look from her teammates, Lin Ying immediately turned her disadvantage into an advantage and "captured" the drug dealer.
This is exactly the embodiment of women's ability and wisdom.
If we say that the show does not respect women just based on the design of Lin Ying being held hostage, then wouldn’t it be superfluous to cooperate with each other to successfully capture the drug dealer?
Secondly, in the most controversial scene in which Wang Eryong assaults a female high school student, the little girl barely misses anything. The actor’s expressions and movements alone have caused countless netizens to complain about the scale, disgustingness, etc.
And this just shows that the actors' acting skills are superb and the audience is deeply involved in the play.
To be fair, there was no nudity in the footage and the review was passed.
Although the processing methods of the film version and the drama version are different, they both illustrate different understandings within certain limits.
can only say that the actors brought the audience into it, and netizens were too indignant about this.
Regarding artistic creation, we must uphold an open, inclusive and diverse attitude, and ultimately it will be our netizens who will benefit.
Finally, let’s talk about “The Immortal Jump” and Cheng Bing’s wife.
These situations existed more or less in the society at that time. The play was a reaction to the social reality at that time, and it did not rise to the level of slandering women.
Especially Cheng Bing’s wife.
As a police officer, Cheng Bing is too busy working all day long, and his wife lives and takes care of her child alone at home.
Isn’t this what we now call widowed parenting?
When encountering this kind of situation, it is normal to complain, but it would be abnormal not to complain.
Cheng Bing is dedicated to his work and has no problem supporting justice, but it is indeed a big problem for his family and his wife.
's complaint does not reflect women's unclear meaning or lack of understanding of their husbands, but more of a contradiction between work and family.
Even now, how to balance family and work is still a key concern of people.
The scenes shown in the drama can be traced in our real life. How come it was moved to the drama and many netizens complained that it was a slander against women?

Prototype of "The Three Brigades": Reality is more cruel than the movie
In the play, the scene of Wang Eryong assaulting a female high school student was criticized by netizens, who believed that the show did not respect women. The real prototype is much crueler than what is shown in the play.
When Captain Cheng Bing led the Third Brigade to investigate the scene of the crime, the girl was lying naked on the floor of the bedroom. Her head was hit by a heavy object, and blood mixed with brain tissue flowed all over the floor. The situation was extremely tragic.
All the investigators were breathing heavily and clenching their fists. Captain Cheng Bing even issued a military order to solve the case within five days, which shows the tragic situation at that time.
In the play, the girl lives with her father, who is a worker in a chemical factory and usually works the night shift.
In order to evade police pursuit, two criminals hid in the girl's home, which eventually led to the girl's murder.
The reality is that the girl lives with her parents and the family lives a happy life.
Her parents were visiting relatives that day, and the girl went home to rest because she felt unwell. The parents played mahjong at a relative's house and returned home in the early morning. When they came back, they found that their daughter was seriously injured.
rushed to the hospital. The girl's life was saved, but she became a vegetative state forever.
girl has excellent academic performance and just won the Mathematical Olympiad trophy. Cruelly, the serious injuries to the girl's head were caused by the murderer smashing the trophy with a trophy.
And in reality, the murderer broke the window and entered the girl's home to steal.
found the girl at home, beat her seriously, assaulted her, and then ransacked the girl's home.
A girl with a bright future and a happy family were destroyed by two criminals.
is written at the end.
reminds me of what Teacher Luo Xiang said: Please do it again and again, and again, and again, and thousands of times, and do not hesitate to save yourself from the fire and water in this world.
As a vulnerable group, women must pay more attention to protecting themselves.
There is only one life, and there is no chance to do it again. We should cherish it very much.
The drama version of "The Third Brigade" is a TV drama adapted from reality. Many of the plot scenes and characters have been artistically processed. Although the treatment of female characters has caused a lot of controversy, overall it does not deliberately demean women. mean.
hopes that while watching dramas, we can be more tolerant, think more, and enjoy watching dramas happily.
