["Ladies and gentlemen, heading to the capital of China..."]
"Mr. Chu." The flight announcement resounded in all directions, and the assistant walked towards Chu Xuan in the lounge and shouted.
Zhou Wenqiong was drinking coffee and reading a magazine on the sofa next to her. She turned her head and looked at Chu Xuan. She saw that Chu Xuan opened his eyes when he heard the flight announcement. It was obvious that Chu Xuan was not fully asleep and was half asleep.
between.
In her gaze, Chu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot and he looked listless, looking very tired.
Zhou Wenqiong slowly shook his head. Not long after he and Qian Qian parted ways, the longing in his heart made Chu Xuan unable to sleep. This child was quite a lover.
However, Sissi is her niece, and as her boyfriend, Chu Xuan can perform like this, of course she is very satisfied.
"Auntie, I'll go first." Chu Xuan picked up the set cover covering his body, stood up and put it on while saying.
Their flights were not at the same time, so Chu Xuan had to take the first step.
Zhou Wenqiong nodded slightly: "If you have time to visit Sissy, you can contact me first. If I am free, you can come to Los Angeles to find me first, and we will come over together."
Zhou Wenqiong has his own clothing business in Los Angeles and stays in Los Angeles for most of every year.
"Okay." Chu Xuan agreed, put on his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles at the corners of his clothes.
"Bon voyage." Zhou Wenqiong said.
"Auntie, it's a good journey." Chu Xuan waved and said, "Let's go."
Under Zhou Wenqiong's gaze, Chu Xuan and his party gradually moved away, following the flow of people and disappearing into the registration passage.
At the same time, two black SUVs stopped in front of the villa gate in New Haven's Eli Community.
Mother and daughter Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei got out of the car and arrived home smoothly.
Liu Yifei's eyes were slightly red, due to the sleepiness caused by staying up all night last night, and also due to the longing for parting with Chu Xuan.
She took out her mobile phone as soon as she got off the bus and sent a text message: "Have a good rest on the plane. Remember to call me as soon as you get off the plane. I'll wait for you."
"Go and have a rest." Seeing her daughter take back her cell phone, Liu Xiaoli saw the fatigue on her daughter's face, and she urged with a little distress.
Liu Yifei nodded and dragged her tired body upstairs.
But when she came to the bedroom, Chu Xuan's shoes and Chu Xuan's clothes were missing in the room, as if any trace of Chu Xuan was missing, which made her have mixed feelings.
But a deep sleepiness hit her, and she still endured the discomfort, took off her shoes and flopped on the bed.
She glanced at the empty bed on the left. She had always liked sleeping on the right side in the past. She moved her body and lay down on the left side, covering herself with a quilt.
There was the smell of Chu Xuan here, which seemed to turn into the familiar sense of security for her, and she fell into a deep sleep not long after.
"Sir, the plane has closed and is about to take off. Please turn off your mobile phone and fasten your seat belt. Thank you."
On the plane at New York International Airport, Chu Xuan looked down at the text message from Liu Yifei on his phone, and he couldn't help but smile.
Hearing the voice of the flight attendant, Chu Xuan looked up at each other, nodded, turned off his mobile phone, fastened his seat belt, adjusted the angle of the seat, and lay down with his eyes closed to rest.
There is always one person missing from your side, and one person who has been with you for a long time, and you will always feel a little disappointed.
Under this feeling of frustration, even though he was tired, the plane took off. Although Chu Xuan closed his eyes, he still couldn't fall asleep.
It wasn't until the uncontrollable fatigue set in that Chu Xuan slowly lost consciousness, as the plane cut through the sky and headed back home.
However, Chu Xuan himself is sleeping in the sky, but his character is about to appear on domestic TV screens.
Today is March 30th, Beijing time, and "Struggle" will also have its finale today.
Many viewers across the country are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the finale of "Struggle" to be broadcast.
The same is true for Xiaoyun from Shenghai.
The TV in the living room is on and advertising is playing.
She was sitting on the sofa, holding her cell phone and chatting in the group with her head down, killing the boring commercial time before "Struggle" started airing.
This group is a fan group of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. When "Struggle" is about to premiere, the chat in the group is naturally about the plot of "Struggle".
Since "Struggle" started airing, she and many others have watched it for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
But as the plot unfolded, most viewers were gradually attracted by the story of "Struggle" itself.
The growth lines of the three couples, including Mi Lai's separate emotional line, and some of the plots that unfolded resonated with many viewers, and each had their own thoughts and discussions, which made "Struggle" even more popular.
Although it is not as phenomenal as last year's "The Condor", in the eyes of industry insiders, "Struggle" has already secured its spot as the hit TV series this year.
Lin Junjie's "Wings" played on the TV. Xiaoyun raised her head to see the very familiar title, while lowering her head to chat with her friends about the plot, her eyes filled with anticipation.
After Lu Tao gave up his career last time and took the initiative to save his life, he rushed to the airport and reconciled with Charlene. Lu's father hated him but couldn't do anything about it.
Dad Lu felt aggrieved, but he could only choose to support him.
"What can I do if I only have this one son?" Dad Lu's helpless expression at that time made audiences across the country laugh.
Therefore, Xia Lin joined Lu's father's real estate company and started working and struggling with Lu Tao.
Xia Lin suddenly became a senior executive in the workplace, and her class structure and salary level were consistent with those of Lu Tao.
The couple's careers have reached a balance, and the burden on their hearts has also dissipated. As their relationship has grown stronger, their careers have also gone smoothly.
The couple are both people with strong self-esteem, and their successful careers have made them more confident.
However, it is a good thing for young people to have self-confidence, but it is often easy to be blindly confident if things go too smoothly, and in the end they can only suffer the result of failure.
The plot of their failure was aired in the previous episodes. The couple took on a very large architectural design project. Due to lack of experience, it eventually led to overtime and funding. After Party B sued, the couple was deeply hit by the failure of the project.
, and thus became extremely depressed.
Xiaoyun thought that according to the storyline of previous TV series, the ending of Lu Tao and Xia Lin would definitely not be like this, and they would definitely get out of their predicament.
This is also the ending she and the audience want to see.
Sure enough, as the TV plot played out, she guessed it right.
"What?! You and Charlene are going to France?!" In the office, Dad Lu stood up suddenly, shocked.
"Yes." Lu Tao nodded.
"What are you going to France for?" Dad Lu asked in surprise.
"I want to study there with Xia Lin, and then start a business and start from scratch." Lu Tao expressed his and Xia Lin's thoughts.
"Start a business?" Dad Lu's eyes widened and he pointed to his seat: "You are my son, and this company will be yours sooner or later. You told me that you want to start a business?"
Lu Tao was silent for a moment and said: "You have been forcing me to help me a lot in the past few years. I know you are good to me, but this also makes me lose the process of accumulating experience. I want to start over with Charlene.
, go forward step by step and learn things that really apply to me.”
"Then what?" Dad Lu made a ridiculous expression.
"First set up a studio, then open a company, and then develop slowly." Lu Tao said.
"Studio? Open a company?" Dad Lu said "ha" disdainfully: "Do you know how much hardship I have put in to get to this point? Do you know how difficult it is to get ahead in this industry?"
With a "pop" sound, Father Lu slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Lu Tao! Can you stop having those unrealistic fantasies! Can we be more realistic?"
Father Lu's action of slapping the table did not frighten Lu Tao. Instead, Lu Tao's face became angry and he also smacked the table: "I haven't taken any action yet, why is it so unrealistic?"
Father Lu was startled and looked at Lu Tao angrily.
"I've said before that you and I have different ideas. Please don't impose your thoughts on me. What you think is just what you think is not necessarily right." Lu Tao turned around and left.
Audiences across the country in front of the TV felt inexplicably happy when they saw this plot.
In this drama between Chu Xuan and Teacher Zhang Chenguang, aside from the acting skills, these few lines of dialogue reflect the voices of the audience.
[Please don’t impose your thoughts on me. What you think is just what you think, and what you think may not necessarily be right. 】
This sentence alone reminds the audience who are students to think of their parents. Under the suppression of their parents and the indoctrination of their parents that whatever they say is right, how many students' children can act according to their own ideas?
This sentence alone makes young people working in the workplace feel uncomfortable. Obviously I have better ideas, but my boss always restricts my performance with his thoughts; I can go home after get off work, but my boss is always there. Ask me to have a meeting after get off work, which is called using free time to improve work efficiency.
This sentence alone made the audience of elderly people living alone feel filled with emotion. Obviously I am very lonely, but you, as children, think that I am living a good life. Obviously I only told a well-intentioned lie, saying that I was busy during the holidays.
Just don't go home. I didn't expect you to take it seriously.
Various situations like this have resonated strongly with many viewers because of Chu Xuan's interpretation of the plot.
They also wanted to imagine Chu Xuan saying this on TV, but due to the existence of various factors in reality, they could only sigh in their hearts.
For the audiences across the country who are working outside their homes, in addition to this resonance, they are also motivated and encouraged by Chu Xuan's performance.
In this plot, one is inheriting the family property and winning, and the other is starting a business from scratch.
If you put it in front of anyone to choose, it is estimated that most people will choose the former.
If this plot was really placed in real life, it would seem a bit unrealistic.
However, how many rich second generations are there in reality? How many people can inherit family property in reality?
In reality, most of them are ordinary people.
Under the pen and ink of screenwriter Shi Kang, this plot was designed for ordinary people to watch.
Lu Tao, the second generation of rich people, does not choose to inherit the family property, but relies on his own efforts to work hard and struggle.
Perhaps in the eyes of the truly rich second generation, this is silly.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is great.
——The second generation of rich people have chosen to work hard, so what reason do we have for not working hard?
This is also the meaning of this plot.
If Lu Tao was just an ordinary person, the audience would not have this feeling.
It is precisely because of the status gap that people from lower classes will subconsciously trust people from higher classes and feel this way.
For example, when Ma Yun talks about success, many people will feel that they have learned something.
But if Ma Yun were replaced by an ordinary person and said the same thing, only a ghost would believe it.
"So handsome!" Many young viewers praised Lu Tao's behavior in front of the TV. The personality and chicness of Lu Tao played by Chu Xuan also made them yearn for it.
At this point in the plot, the ending of Lu Tao and Xia Lin is already clear. The couple will go to France to further their studies and start a business.
In the eyes of the audience, the following plot brings closure to the endings of others.
Xiang Nan, played by Huang Xuan, and Yang Xiaoyun, played by Zhao Liying, eventually remarried.
After Hua Zi, played by Chen He, broke up with Lulu, played by Jiang Xin, he closed the barber shop in sadness and traveled around the country with his savings to relax. Finally, he returned to the barber shop and reopened it.
Mi Lai, played by Su Chang, was resentful because Lu Tao and Xia Lin were together, so he went abroad for three years. He wanted to forget someone in three years, but unexpectedly he fell in love more deeply. After returning to China, he sought the opportunity to be with Lu Tao.
But after many conversations with Xia Lin, he understood that Lu Tao loved Xia Lin deeply, and finally chose to go abroad again and completely let go.
【"Same airport,
Different world.
same coffee,
Different taste."]
Accompanied by Lin Junjie's "Wings", Lu Tao and Xia Lin walked hand in hand to the airport and sat down to drink coffee together.
As the audience listened to the song and watched the TV picture, many people finally understood the double meaning of the song in this drama.
In the TV opening, Mi Lai secretly hated Lu Tao and Xia Lin and went abroad. This song was sung to Lu Tao and Mi Lai.
And now, Lu Tao and Xia Lin are both rushing to work abroad together. Under this situation, this song is obviously sung to Lu Tao and Xia Lin.
A song sings two periods of life, one is youth and the other is struggle.
As the TV screen showed Lu Tao and Xia Lin getting on the plane, the plane flew into the blue sky, and finally the subtitles appeared - [End of the play].
"That's the end." Xiaoyun pouted, feeling a little disappointed that a good TV series had ended, but the ending that had a beginning and an end made her quite satisfied.
She threw away the remote control and trotted towards the bedroom, ready to read reviews online.
The popularity of "Struggle" has made some drama critics very active. As long as a new plot is aired, some drama reviews will always appear online as soon as possible.
Xiaoyun clicked on the homepage of a drama critic V that she was following. The review of this drama critic was the most in line with her and the one she considered the most professional.
After waiting for some time, a new message popped up on the web page——
["Struggle" has ended, and the editor is very emotional.
Due to professional reasons, the editor needs to conduct in-depth exploration of each plot. Most people probably only watch the series according to the time point, but the editor watches reruns every day and has watched the plot from beginning to end at least five or six times.
.
Because I have watched it many times, the editor thinks that I have seen something deeper, and the thoughts and meanings that this drama really wants to express. As usual, the editor will express some of my own thoughts here, and friends can discuss and communicate at any time.
】
Xiaoyun moved the mouse and continued to look down.
[Analyzing the growth lines of each character from beginning to end of the entire story, we will find a very interesting point.
Lu Tao and Xia Lin said when they were together that they would work hard and create their own careers. This was their original intention when they entered society from scratch after graduation.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and something happened that caused the two people to gradually deviate from their original intentions.
But looking at the finale that just aired, Lu Tao and Xia Lin started from scratch and returned to the original starting point.
Looking at Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun, these two had only known each other for a few days. They deceived their parents and stole their household registration books. After some dazzling and ridiculous maneuvers, they got married directly.
But Xiangnan and Yang Xiaoyun have muddling-through personalities, they like to pursue excitement and novelty, and have no sense of family responsibility.
First, the conflict broke out about whether the pregnant child should be born, and then the conflict broke out about Yang Xiaoyun's cheating, and Xiang Nan also chose to divorce after cheating.
But in the end, Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau where they were originally married to remarry, returning to their original starting point.
Looking at Huazi and Lulu, Lulu's determination to rely on men to let her family come to the big city to live a good life has not changed from the beginning to the end. Because Zhutou's conditions are better than Huazi's, Lulu cheats on Zhutou.
Huazi worked hard for Lulu, opened a barber shop, and rented a good house. Everything he did was for Lulu.
Ke Lulu's behavior deeply affected Hua Zi, who closed the barber shop, which was getting better and better, and used his savings to travel around the country to relax.
But in the final finale, Huazi lost all his travel money and came back almost penniless, but he regained his confidence and became stronger.
He reopened the barber shop and started working hard from scratch. This was similar to the situation at the beginning of the plot, and he returned to the original starting point.
Finally, we look at Mi Lai. This Bai Fumei from a well-off family was the first woman to fall in love with Lu Tao. However, Lu Tao and Charlene came together, which disappointed Mi Lai so much that he went abroad for three years.
Mi Lai originally wanted to forget Lu Tao, but she didn't expect that the more she wanted to forget, the more she fell in love with him. Then she chose to return to China and did some behavior that is only expected of a "mistress" in an attempt to get Lu Tao back from Xia Lin.
However, after a long period of trial and observation, Milai discovered that Lu Tao truly loved Charlene, which made her temporarily confused and hesitant, causing doubts and entanglements about her own behavior.
Finally, under Charlene's persuasion, Milai completely realized that she had fallen in love with someone who didn't love her at all.
Thanks to Charlene's persuasion, Mi Lai and Charlene got back together. They were completely relieved and regained their good mood. They were no longer bound by love, gained complete spiritual freedom, and finally went abroad again to pursue their ideals.
The moment Milai got on the plane, he was back to the starting point of going abroad.】
Xiaoyun looked at it, pondered it carefully, and kept nodding.
[Above, we will find a very interesting point.
For the seven people in "Struggle", whatever the beginning is, the ending will be the same.
Well, many people may have doubts. After struggling for so many years and then returning to the original starting point, what kind of struggle is this?
Next, the editor will talk about the ideological concepts that "Struggle" really wants to express, as the editor has sorted out personally.
Did Lu Tao and Xia Lin succeed? The editor thinks it was successful because they found the direction of love and a rhythm of life that suited them.
Did Xiang Nan and Yang Xiaoyun succeed? The editor thinks it was successful because they found their responsibility and the meaning of a family.
Did Huazi and Lulu succeed? The editor thinks it was successful. Lulu achieved her goal, while Huazi found his future direction in life. After regrouping, he will focus on developing his own career.
Did Mi Lai succeed? The editor thinks it was successful. She came out of the confusion of love. She gained freedom of thought, sublimation of her mood, and also found the goal of struggle.
And love? Responsibility? Career? Goal? These four elements expressed by the seven people in the plot all revolve around one word, that is - life.
Therefore, the "struggle" in "Struggle" does not mean making money or struggling. It actually tells the life of young people and the changes of young people in various stages.
It aims to tell us that sometimes we should not care about the results, but see whether we have gained something in the process of struggle. If we gain something, then the journey of struggle is successful.】
"That's so good." Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes slightly. This article allowed her to reorganize her senses and gain a deeper understanding of the drama "Struggle".
She moved the mouse and scrolled down to read the comments.
[The editor is really awesome. This drama review is deeply rooted in my heart. There are indeed many points worth thinking about. This is not an ordinary idol drama.]
[You have so many words that I would be embarrassed not to give you a thumbs up.]
[I’m the opposite of you, I generally don’t read anything with a lot of words.]
[It is a good drama and deserves to be ranked first in its time period.]
[Another classic from Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei! 】
[My Xuan and my concubine are great. They succeeded as soon as they transformed. Who else! 】
[Hey, "Struggle" is over and there is no more drama to watch.]
【No drama to watch? Next week is "Zhu Xian". 】
Xiaoyun's eyes lit up: "Yes, "Zhu Xian" will be broadcast next week! Although Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are not acting, they produced it and you must watch it."
After spending nearly a month watching the drama "Struggle", many viewers who were immersed in the story temporarily forgot about "Zhu Xian".
I saw many people on the Internet talking about "Zhu Xian", and they all looked forward to it with the same excitement as Xiaoyun.
And with the finale of "Struggle", there was a wave of discussion and emotion on the Internet, and it didn't stop all night long.
When the moon was setting and the sun was rising, and it was approaching three o'clock in the morning, an international flight from New York landed smoothly at the Beijing Airport.
