Chapter 116 'The Banner of the Fathers' starts broadcasting (2 in 1 5100 words)
The TV started.
Everyone who should be sitting in front of the TV has already sat in front of the TV.
Including Zhang Hong.
But not in the company, but in an old house.
Also watching with him was Lin Muqing, who lived across the street.
There was no music in the opening credits of the first episode, and Lin Muqing looked back at him: "Why don't those songs you wrote be in the opening credits?"
"The opening title is a song written by a big guy that Uncle Liu asked for. That one doesn't need lyrics." Zhang Hong explained with a smile, "Didn't you read it? The rest are inserted in the film or at the end."
It is also commonly known as "God inserted ED".
Zhang Hong wrote several songs that he was familiar with in his previous life.
However, the lyrics of some of the songs were slightly changed, such as "Soul of the Chinese Army" was changed to "Soul of the Chinese Army".
The remaining few songs were just written and hummed, and Zhang Hong himself felt blood welling up in his eyes.
After all, the modern history of this parallel world is different from his previous life.
Many of his feelings are incomprehensible to Chinese people in this world.
Lin Muqing had a calm expression on her face, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Those songs of yours are indeed quite nice."
Zhang Hong was too lazy to talk to her.
Doesn't it sound good? It's a song that I, Zhang, was familiar with in my previous life. If it doesn't sound good, there will be a problem.
"Soul of the Chinese Army", "My Commander", "Chasing Dreams", "Proud Boy", "Leader", "Eternal Dream of Family and Country", "Army Song of Intellectual Youth", "Born to Be Stubborn"
, "Motherland", "My Motherland".
Ten episodes of TV series, ten ending songs, and ten ending credits.
This is the limit of what Zhang Hong can do.
Even if he couldn't remember many of the tunes and lyrics, he relied on Lin Muqing and others to complete them.
During the chat, the opening song ended and the TV series officially started.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a close-up of Zhang Hong's handsome face.
Then he opened his eyes and sat up.
The screen zoomed out and he sat up.
Although this was a TV series made to fulfill the wishes of the elderly, he still did not sacrifice for art - he was wearing short sleeves and shorts.
After getting up, washing up, getting dressed, and after breakfast, he got into the car with his parents and rushed to his hometown in the countryside.
Through small talk on the way, the audience was basically informed of the situation.
The male protagonist's name is Jia Xu. This time he went back to his hometown with his parents to attend his grandfather's funeral.
My grandfather has been strict since he was a child, and his relationship with his father is average. He has not been back for several years.
Including Jia Xu, the image of grandpa has become very faded in his mind.
When I returned to my hometown, not many people came to attend my grandfather’s funeral.
It is said that my grandfather was a soldier before, but most of his old comrades are no longer alive, so not many people come.
Lao Jia's family is prosperous, but most of them have moved to the city.
The old man is over ninety, so it can be considered a happy occasion.
When everything was over, everyone was busy going back to work. Only Jia Xugang graduated from college and was about to lose his job, so the family decided to leave him in his hometown to sort out his grandfather's belongings.
While packing up his belongings, he came across an old black and red patent leather box in his grandfather's bedroom.
Then he put the dead mobile phone next to him for charging and opened the box.
On top of the box are various items of clothing.
Underneath the clothes are two oil paper bags.
Jia Xu opened the first one.
Inside, grandpa’s military service materials include a discharge certificate, a first-class combat hero medal, and several second-class and third-class merit medals.
And an old photo.
The photo shows a young grandfather taking a group photo with many half-grown children.
There are two adults standing next to grandpa in the photo, and the appearance of one of them is a bit blurry.
Out of curiosity, Jia Xu opened another oil paper bag.
There was only one special combat hero medal lying there quietly.
Suddenly, a throbbing appeared in Jia Xu's chest, and he slowly stretched out his hand to pick up the medal.
My eyesight went dark.
When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in an adobe house.
When I opened the door and came out, I found that no one was there.
Snowflakes are falling and the cold wind is blowing.
He was alone on the muddy road, and even the picks on his feet were stained with a lot of mud.
............
Lu Yingzi's house in a hutong, Beijing.
Today all the old men are gathered here, drinking wine and watching TV.
Let's just have a little get-together.
Seeing Zhang Hong's performance of Jia Xu traveling through time, several old men laughed.
"This kid used the name of the platoon leader's grandson and asked him to travel through time in the next life? The change is not made up. He has to apologize to his great-grandfather!"
An attentive old man turned around to see Lu Yingzi's expression.
But when he looked over, he didn't see Lu Yingzi angry.
The old man was just looking at the curtain with a smile, but tears were already welling up in his eyes.
"It's so similar..." Lu Yingzi murmured to herself, "It's just that the clothes and shoes are definitely not as new, and he doesn't have as good a temperament as Brother Lai Sheng."
Several old people sighed and said nothing.
After seeing Zhang Hong on TV, they sent people to investigate Zhang Hong's affairs.
But nothing was found.
It wasn't until Zhang Hong contacted them not long ago that he told them the truth.
Wei Laisheng, or Zhang Laisheng, is indeed his elder.
But it's not grandpa, but great-grandpa.
Afterwards, Zhang Hong told them the truth he had analyzed through clues.
Brother Laisheng, he probably did make a sacrifice.
In fact, I also told Lu Yingzi about this.
She is a strong woman, it doesn't matter even if she knows the truth.
Sure enough, she just smiled and said "I understand" and didn't mention it again.
The old people couldn't say anything more.
"Watch TV, watch TV."
The drama continues on TV.
Jia Xu, played by Zhang Hong, wandered around in the deserted village and finally discovered someone.
It was a teenage girl hiding in the woodshed. She also had two ponytails.
Jia Xu saw that her clothes were thin and shivering, so he took off his windbreaker and put it on for her.
After getting familiar with it, he realized that this existence had been abandoned, and that this girl had also fled from the east, where a war was going on.
Jia Xu felt puzzled. If Hua was so powerful, who was it fighting with?
Does anyone dare to invade? Isn’t that suicide?
When they were about to ask, the two heard chaotic footsteps coming from a distance.
He left the woodshed and looked around, only to see a group of half-grown men approaching the village entrance carrying guns.
The leader was an adult in military uniform.
Seeing their appearance, Jia Xu's pupils narrowed.
These people...are exactly the same as the people in the photo I found at my grandpa's house!
And the one in the lead is surprisingly what grandpa looked like when he was young!
When they walked in, the leader looked at Jia Xu warily: "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
Jia Xu sighed and made up a name, saying that his name was Wei Laisheng. He came from the south. He used to be a teacher and now writes serials in magazines. He originally came here to work, but he fled here during the war.
Listening to his fluent dialect, the other party lowered his guard.
Jia Xu took the opportunity to ask his name.
The man said... "My name is Jashen, and I am the second platoon leader of the 358th Regiment."
Jia Xu's pupils shrank sharply.
At this time, the rhythmic prelude of piano and guitar sounded.
Jia Xu's mind began to flash back to the old photo he had seen before, and then the black and white photo gradually gained color and turned into the people in front of him.
Jia Xu's heart sounded: "So...I have gone back to the past?"
Following his words, the first line of the ending song sounded——
"Where I stand, dreams set sail, and the red flag flies freely...
You and I carry ideals, which are the hopes of our ancestors, so that love can bloom fearlessly..."
This song is "Motherland" by Zhang Hong.
It’s also the God-inserted ending theme of the first episode.
............
Sun Liufang, who was sitting in the living room, waited until the end of the first episode and entered the commercial break before he got up and took the time to go to the toilet.
After solving the problem, he leisurely returned to the living room to sit down, then lit up his laptop and started working.
Yes, he is a film and television critic, the kind of organized critic who gets paid.
But he generally calls himself a "keyboard warrior".
After all, if you let him do it by himself, he will definitely not be able to take the picture, but he is still very good at finding faults.
After all, he is a member of the professional team of Douya.com.
He is among the people who continuously give Zhang Hong's TV series eight or more points.
He is also a fan of Zhang Hong.
But this time, he must bravely say "no" to Zhang Hong!
"The drama is not nonsense, and the change is not random fabrication. A time-travel drama disguised as a war of resistance is no good. Why is Director Zhang starting to waste money? Four points cannot be more.
The rhythm is compact and lively, which is Director Zhang's usual style. However, only the last episode is considered a small hit, but the plot is also as expected. I think it passes 60%.
The music is perfect, the ending song is inserted very well, the song is very rhythmic, the lyrics are very passionate and burning, and combined with the story setting, it can be given nine points.
Overall, I would give it a six-point score. The shooting, editing and music quality are consistent with Director Zhang’s style, but the plot is empty and off-kilter, which is not appropriate.”
This "six points" is not because he hates Zhang Hong, but precisely because he likes Zhang Hong so much.
So this six points is compared with Zhang Hong's previous dramas.
You must know that Zhang Hong's previous dramas have never been lower than "8.5" in the amateur category and "8" in the professional category on Douya.com.
If the director were changed, Sun Liufang would be able to give a starting score of 7 points just for the music, the rhythm, the editing, the pictures, the coloring, and the actors.
He temporarily stopped typing on the keyboard and started watching the second episode.
This is a new project launched by Douya.com.
In the past, the whole drama was graded, but because Zhang Hong is a masterpiece, Douya.com revised the rules specifically for Zhang Hong.
It is also commonly known as the "Zhang Hong Clause".
The terms are set by Douya.com.
The so-called famous theater hall stipulates that plays with a score of more than 8.5 points in the amateur group and more than 8.0 points in the professional group can enter.
And these two requirements must be met at the same time.
Once a drama enters the Hall of Famous Dramas, Douya.com will begin to segment it, that is, rate each episode of the drama.
It is also divided into amateur group and professional group.
After the score is given, you can modify it by yourself, but you must explain the reason and the score will not be changed until the reason is approved.
If the score is modified too many times, the account will be banned from Douya.com for a week to a month.
As the director of many high-quality films, Zhang Hong directly provided this benefit as soon as this drama came out.
Sun Liufang is a member of the professional group.
After he finishes scoring, the scores will be integrated into the website.
However, although he gave a score to the first episode, he was not in a hurry to upload it - that was something only amateurs would do.
When they watch TV series, they not only watch a certain episode, but also watch the continuity between before and after.
Especially people like Zhang Hong who have a "criminal record".
The plot of "Yun Luo Hong Chen" starts out as plain as water, and looks like a traditional bloody costume romance drama, but the series of twists and turns at the end are really amazing, and it also shows that the beginning is all foreshadowing.
So he has to wait.
Soon, the second episode began.
He took a sip of strong tea and cheered up.
The deep yet exciting opening symphony ends and the second episode officially begins.
Sun Liufang couldn't help but nodded secretly.
As expected of Director Zhang, even the opening theme was composed by a master and performed by the National Symphony Orchestra. This is really a full list of cards!
Now we just have to see if the plot will drag us down.
The second episode follows the ending of the first episode.
In short, Jia Xu met the young grandfather.
But he didn't dare to say who he was. He only said that he used to be a teacher and now he was a writer who serialized science fiction in newspapers.
Jia Shen had no doubts and let him join the team.
Then he introduced the situation on his side, saying that he was taking these half-grown men here to organize and wait for the follow-up troops.
So this group of people settled in the deserted village.
Sun Liufang frowned.
The plot is very bland, and even the editing is so bland that it is not as stunning and oppressive as in the past, making people breathless.
But...he always felt like something was wrong.
Why can he still watch such a bland plot?
............
Su Xiaoyue was not with her best friend today.
When her parents came back from a long-awaited business trip, they took her back to her grandpa's house for dinner.
At her grandpa's house, she also met her great-grandpa, whom she hadn't seen for several months.
She is the closest to her great-grandpa, and even her love for watching spy movies came from her great-grandpa.
Because her great-grandfather was a veteran who worked in the intelligence department.
However, besides watching spy movies, her great-grandfather also liked to watch various anti-war dramas.
And he cursed while watching it.
But while scolding and watching at the same time...
Now that we had just finished dinner, our parents and grandparents went to the living room to play mahjong, and she was watching TV with her great-grandpa in the bedroom.
It happens to be the new drama of Zhang Hongge, whom she admires most.
But she felt very tortured.
Because the first episode was spent in the nitpicking of my great-grandpa...
"Still traveling through time? It's another TV series made by a kid who doesn't know anything."
"My shoes and clothes are so clean, my face is fair and clean, not even ashes, and you still say that you are a refugee? I have seen what refugees look like. Their faces are sallow and thin, dirty and messy. How can it be like this? I don't know.
I thought he was going on an outing."
"A half-grown child joining the army? There were indeed little kids who wanted to join the army at that time, but they were all rejected. Soldiers can only protect the family and the country. They can join in the fun. Just take care of yourself and be a useful person to the country."
"Wearing straw sandals? This is another nonsense. We all wore serious calfskin boots at that time, but those boots were warm, but not breathable. In the end, everyone's feet were sweating profusely. The smell
..."
Su Xiaoyue was about to collapse.
She used to find it quite interesting to watch her great-grandfather complain about those dramas while watching them, and she even filmed them and posted them online.
But now the target of her complaints has become her idol, and she really can't be happy about it.
Maybe this is called double standards?
Finally, after the first episode ended, she acted coquettishly: "Grandpa~! If you say that, we won't watch it~!"
She even felt embarrassed because her personality was quite mature...she hadn't acted coquettishly since elementary school.
The great-grandfather was really impressed by his great-granddaughter. He said embarrassedly: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Let's continue watching."
Just as the second episode started, he boasted decisively: "Don't tell me, this guy is very handsome and energetic! I remember he is the same actor who acted in the show, right? This young man is pretty good."
He used to work in intelligence, and he also dreamed of having a life as magnificent as the one in "Blood Youth".
Unfortunately, no.
He just works step by step and retires step by step.
But after so many years, he was glad that he didn't have that kind of life.
It's true that it's plain and simple.
But this does not prevent him from having a good impression of Zhang Hong.
But not long after...
"Who made this TV series? What a waste of such 'different' acting skills!"
Su Xiaoyue: "..."
"Grandpa, it was this 'Fang Farewell' who took the photo..."
The great-grandpa was stunned, "That's okay. It's understandable that young people don't know what happened in the past and it's filmed like this. At least the song is pretty good."
Su Xiaoyue secretly rolled her eyes.
She gave up.
After all, it is fun for the elderly, so just complain.
Anyway...Brother Zhang Hong will definitely not care.
Ever since Brother Zhang Hong told her to wake her up, she understood.
So she won't quarrel with her elders because of her idol.
But after a while, she discovered that her great-grandpa had not spoken for a long time.
I looked at the TV and saw that it was evening now.
Beside the campfire, the male protagonist played by Zhang Hongge was telling the story of the future to a group of half-grown children.
What kind of future bullet train can run hundreds of kilometers per hour?
What kind of plane flies faster than the sound?
How can the enemy's missiles be hit from hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away?
There is also the pampered look of Brother Zhang Hong.
I don’t know if it’s because of his thin skin and tender flesh, but the insects here just bite him.
Suddenly she heard the sound of breathing beside her.
Turning his head sideways, he saw that my great-grandpa's eyes were red.
Seeing his great-granddaughter looking over, my great-grandfather smiled and said, "This kid...takes really good photos."
Wasn't their original struggle just to have this day?
He has seen it, but there are still so many people... who have not waited for this day...
It would be great if when he was a young soldier, someone came back from the future and told them stories about the future...
In the courtyard house in the capital, the elderly people all looked at the curtain attentively.
No one said anything.
It seems like you are remembering the past?
It seems that he has the same idea as Grandpa Su Xiaoyue?
Maybe both.
In the hospital, Jia Shen was sitting on the bed and watching TV quietly. His children and grandchildren were all around him, and he did not dare to express his anger.
He didn't speak or cry.
Just a pair of eyes fixedly staring at Zhang Hong's face on the TV.
............
"The plot is dull, and there is no sensational music inserted into the plot. The rhythm is slow and it doesn't look like a war at all. The equipment settings are a bit rough, and there are even people wearing straw sandals."
After writing a lot eloquently, Sun Liufang suddenly smiled, very softly.
"However, Director Zhang is still at his usual level. This episode can be given a 7 points."
ps: 2-in-1 5100 words sent.
I wanted to get up in the morning and type, but ended up sleeping until the afternoon.
