Recently, as the Spring Festival approaches, the TV drama market has become increasingly lively. CCTV's business war drama "Flowers" has just ended, and the period drama "Dajiang Dahe 3" is on the line again. In terms of platforms, "Fairy Sword" IV and VI and "You Too Have Today" are also considered small hits. It really feels like playing in an arena at the beginning of the new year.
On the evening of January 25, another Anti-Japanese War comedy - "Gou Sheng Run" was launched. This drama has only been on the air for two days, and its ratings have reached the first place in the country.
In addition to strong ratings, the show also has a good reputation. It has only been airing for two days and already has many four- and five-star reviews on Douban. It seems that the Mainland’s Anti-Japanese War comedies are about to usher in a long-lost masterpiece.
So why has this drama become one of the rare masterpieces in the anti-war comedy field in recent years that has both popularity and reputation? After catching up on 6 episodes in one go, Qiqi had the answer in her heart.
1. A misunderstanding, 30% chance, 70% inevitability of fate, started a great change in the fate of a low-level loser.
The beginning of this war comedy "Run the Dog" is indeed comedic:
Yang San, the director of the village office, likes Wang Daju's daughter Xing'er, who runs a winery, but Xing'er has no good impression of him. Just in time to recruit soldiers from above, Yang San came up with a crooked idea: he added the name of Wang Daju's silly son Wang Mao to the draft list and went to frighten the Wang family with the list the next day, hoping to get Xing'er to do it. Have a good look on yourself and take a high look at yourself.
Whoever imagined it, the fake became real. When Yang San was out, the army liaison officer hurried over and took away the recruitment list.
So it became a definite fact that the fool Wang Mao was going to join the army.
The Wang family almost cried to death and were almost frightened to death. When they were ready to send their son to die, their adopted son Gou Sheng came back.
When Gou Sheng heard about this, he first chased Yang San to the village office and beat Yang San violently;
Then, after hearing Yang San say that there was money to be made by becoming a soldier, he resolutely decided to become a soldier for Wang Mao. By doing this, firstly, the adoptive father and adoptive mother Xing'er no longer have to be sad, and secondly, he can earn money to marry Xing'er.
Yang San was also very happy to facilitate this matter. Because firstly, he can send Gou Sheng far away, and he loses a love rival; secondly, he doesn't have to send a fool to the army and bear the risk of losing his head.
This may seem like an accidental thing, but behind it lies the inevitability of fate. Because in such an era of broken mountains and rivers and turbulent times, such a fate could happen to any low-level people at any time.
So this drama seems to be full of comedians and full of joy, but in fact, it turns out to be a tragedy. The story of
begins in this way, it is bloody enough and interesting enough.
And even more exciting things are yet to come.
2, starring three powerful young actors, and supported by four national first-class actors, this lineup is strong enough.

This time, in "Gou Sheng Run", Qin Hailu plays Gou Sheng's adoptive mother. Although she is an adoptive mother, she is as good to Gou Sheng as her own mother.
Under Qin Hailu's interpretation, a mother's love and concern for her son moved every audience in front of the screen. It can only be said that the title of national first-class actor is indeed not called for nothing.
The third place is Li Mengnan.
Veteran actor Li Mengnan is a first-class actor at the National Theater of China. Zhao Ximei in "Military Guy Erdan", Gao Dayong in "Justice Unlimited", and Cui Dake in "We Are Iron Rice or Steel" are all very classic.

3 and two major highlights make this drama a dark horse in the beginning of 2024.
Judging from the 8 episodes currently aired, this "Gou Sheng Run" is likely to become the biggest dark horse in the mainland war theme in 2024.
There are two reasons.
The first one is that the scene is real and makes people feel particularly immersed.
There have been a lot of war dramas in recent years, but in the end there are only a few that can really stand the test of time. If we narrow the scope to Anti-Japanese War comedies, there are even fewer good dramas, and it can even be said that they are basically broken.
I can count them on my fingers now, and they are just the classics from the past: "Sanmao Joins the Army", Chen Peisi's "The Lost Hero", and Pan Changjiang's "Hands Up".
The reason why many war dramas end up being reduced to "divine dramas" is that in addition to the outrageous plots, another important reason is that the costumes and makeup of the actors, as well as the scene layout of the entire drama, are too fake. The exquisite makeup and brand new and fashionable clothes are so fake that it is impossible to enter the show.
But this "Gou Sheng Run" is different. Whether it is the plot or scene setting, the makeup and costumes of the actors, they are all very loyal to history and that era. Therefore, if you follow this drama, you can easily watch it and immerse yourself in it along with the joys, sorrows and joys of the people in the drama.
The reason is also very simple. It can be seen that the producers wanted to create a war drama close to historical reality from the beginning. To achieve this goal, it can be said that the show has worked hard on details.
Gou Sheng’s vintage cotton hat and tattered cotton jacket,
Gou Sheng’s sweetheart Xing’er’s simple make-up without any ornamentation, and the old cotton-padded jacket, red headband, and big braids that fit that era;
The county magistrate is only of that era.
The big braids of the braid master;
The military uniforms with the characteristics of that era;
All of these, put together, are an era that is incompatible with today, an era that is very old at first glance.
The second one is that under the shell of comedy, there is a core of family and country.
This "Gou Sheng Run", from the name to the poster, to the plots of the first few episodes, is full of joy. But in fact, the further you look back, the more you will find that this show is not just funny. On the contrary, comedy is just the shell of this drama. Under this shell full of comedy, it is actually a complete tragedy.
Because in that era, there is no real comedy. At the end of the
episode, almost all the people Gou Sheng cared about were killed by the Japanese: his sweetheart Xing'er, his adoptive mother who loved him the most, and the one who, although she loved her son more than him, would still do it for him. A caring adoptive father.
They are all dead. Killed by the Japanese.
Therefore, Gou Sheng, who was behind, experienced the tragedy that happened in front of his eyes and was forced to grow up slowly.
In the end, he grew into an excellent New Fourth Army soldier.
So what this drama really wants to talk about is how , a poor farmer at the bottom, matures and grows step by step in the war when facing the destruction of his country and his family, and becomes a man who truly has family and country in his heart, and is passionate. A warrior with great ambitions.
Digging deeper, Gou Sheng is not just one person.
He represents a group of people, even a generation. It is about how the poor people at the bottom who accounted for the majority of China's population at that time awakened, grew and matured overnight after experiencing the cruel reality.
This is actually a bit sad.
But many people are willing to shed tears and endure the pain to read it, because it is history that really happened decades ago.
The shell of comedy, the core of family and country feelings, and the process of continuous growth and maturity of the little characters after experiencing the baptism of fate are the most fascinating aspects of this drama.
believes that as the plot gradually deepens, it is likely to become a dark horse in the war theme this year and leave something in the fiercely fought TV drama market.
