A single mermaid tear, thousands of pearls of slave blood.
Pearl Slave entered the water, his flexible figure swaying underwater like a mermaid, searching for bright pearls in the vast underwater world.
Zhang Jinran and Zhang Langjun, who have lived in fine clothes since childhood, went into the deep sea with a boat and saw "mermaids" coming out of the water, sighing at the beautiful scenery.
Little does he know, there can only be two reasons for "mermaids coming out of the water". One is to avoid sharks, and the other is to kill the same kind of people.
Zhao Lusi plays the heroine Duanwu in " Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain ", who is a woman who was born as a low-class bead slave.
As a pearl slave, he was forced to practice breath-holding since he was a child and go into the water to collect pearls every day, otherwise he would be whipped.
lives and works in a dangerous environment, and has to guard against bullying and robbery by male bead slaves.
The extremely vicious male bead slave not only snatched her food, but also grabbed her hair and dragged her to a dark place to do evil.
In such a dangerous environment, there is almost no way for the weak to survive.
Duanwu relied on his strength and fighting spirit to barely save himself.
Her biggest wish is to get the slave release documents and get rid of this fate of being bullied, and she is willing to risk her life for this.
After she risked her life to collect five large pearls, she was replaced by Ba Niang, the steward of the pearl farm, and the slave release document was given to another male pearl slave.
She only fought for a chance to be a pearl princess. Manager Cui said lightly: If the pearl is sold for 8 million, it will be given to the slaves. If it is not sold, it will die. She will have to fight for her own freedom at the cost of her life again.
When Dragon Boat Festival really achieved the target of 8 million, he was delivered into the hands of a lustful person by Manager Cui.
At the critical moment, it was Baniang who killed the villain, saved Duanwu, and led her out of danger.
It turns out that Ba Niang, who has always been harsh to her and even said some harsh words to her, is Duan Wu's biological mother and has been secretly helping her daughter.
The pearls were deliberately exchanged before, actually to preserve the Dragon Boat Festival, because the pearl slaves would not be released here, and the man who got the slave release document was already dead.
Mother and daughter had just recognized each other, and the pursuers were approaching. Ba Niang wanted to get on the boat and leave quickly during the Dragon Boat Festival, but she stayed to stop the pursuers.
The Dragon Boat Festival kept saying "You come with me, come with me" more and more resolutely, but in the end it failed to stop the mother's determination to fight to the death to send her away.
Lying on the board of the boat unable to move during the Dragon Boat Festival, he watched his mother being killed by the enemy, with blood staining the river bank, which was heartbreaking.
Overnight, Dragon Boat Festival experienced ups and downs. He went into dangerous situations in the deep sea to fish for pearls. He transformed from a low-level pearl slave into a pearl princess.
The freedom of the slave release document was just around the corner. However, he turned around and fell into the hands of the villain, winning the title of Eight Mothers. Rescue, mother and daughter only knew each other for a moment before experiencing the pain of losing their mother.
Duanwu did not escape, but returned later, sneaked into the city, tracked down the enemy who killed his mother, and finally killed Manager Cui to avenge his mother.
But the blood beads left by her mother fell into the hands of Yan Zijing. He was defeated by force during the Dragon Boat Festival and could only agree to earn 3 million yuan to buy the blood beads, so she stayed in Yan's caravan and worked as a slave in the bottom warehouse. rise.
Duan Wu just relied on a desperate effort to become a caravan consul from the bottom warehouse. At the same time, he was also involved in Yan Zijing's revenge plan. Instead of traveling around, experiencing various dangers, learning jewelry and The way of doing business.
This ancient puppet drama, in the first dozen or so episodes, spent a lot of space to realistically show the struggle history of the heroine from the bottom of the pearl slave to the top of the caravan.
and then showed the entire jewelry business chain of that era from the bottom pearl mining field to the sale, transportation and sales of pearls.
At the same time, with the unveiling of the mystery of Dragon Boat Festival’s life experience, the progress of Yan Zijing’s revenge plan, and the competition between the two major forces in the imperial court.
To be honest, the love in this ancient puppet drama is not a particularly eye-catching feature. Instead, it is a part that deeply shows the history of the fortunes of lower-class women, which is more exciting, exciting and interesting.
Unlike other ancient puppet dramas, where the heroines are born to enjoy noble status and rich food and clothing, Dragon Boat Festival works as the most humble pearl slave in the mining field at the bottom, with precarious life and no freedom.
She wants a free identity and a better life, but because she has nothing, she can only risk her life.
She did not hesitate to put herself into dangerous situations again and again. With hard work, risk-taking, desperate efforts, as well as some intelligence and a little luck, she was able to fight for a better tomorrow for herself from a dark situation.
Because of this background and experience, when Duanwu faced the evil people who harmed her, her response was to respond with violence and violence.
A well-dressed young man like Zhang Jinran instinctively wanted to stop him, believing that he should be handed over to the government and not lynched.
They are people from two worlds, their thoughts are not the same, and their attitudes and actions towards things are also completely different.
Duan Wu is a smart person. No matter how kind Zhang Jinran is to her, she is not blindly moved. She was always aware of the gap between them, so she repeatedly rejected Zhang Jinran's love.
Duanwu and Yan Zijing are the same kind of people. They have similar experiences, bear bloody and miserable life experiences, have experienced the dangers of the world, and have the same three views based on similar experiences. In the process of working together, they have become more and more familiar. The better the tacit understanding, the closer the two hearts get.
Whether it is business, revenge, or love, this drama has a very realistic and down-to-earth side. It eliminates the suspension and bells and whistles often seen in ancient puppets and respects the logic of reality.
not only shows the depth of the suffering at the bottom, but is not bitter and resentful. Instead, it implements a spirit of resistance in the characters who is not willing to be at the mercy of fate, as well as a spiritual background that is always upward.
At this point, "Pearl Curtain and Jade Curtain" has surpassed most ancient puppet dramas.
