The TV series was not on the hot searches, and it even missed the headlines.
The page above has been occupied by several variety shows recently.
Things like "so and so is so handsome", "so and so is confused", "so and so cps with so and so", "so and so is out of the circle" and the like, you sing and we sing.
There is money behind this, there are people who want to take advantage of it, and no one cares about a "time-travel Anti-Japanese War drama".
But the ratings of "Flags of Our Fathers" are getting higher and higher.
Even the last two episodes have exceeded the ratings of twelve.
What is the concept of twelve?
Last year's Spring Festival Gala ratings were 8.9.
However, according to a survey by CCTV, more than 70% of the viewers watching this drama are aged 35 or even 40 years old.
And there are mostly male viewers.
Zhang Hong suddenly became a "friend of middle-aged and elderly people".
Of course, there are also many young and middle-aged female fans who admire his looks.
There are also those who speculate on CP.
But they lose motivation as they continue to stir-fry.
Because of Zhang Hong, he really doesn’t participate in any variety shows or accept any interviews...
But their excitement has nothing to do with Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong is currently hiding in the company conceiving the script for his first movie.
I would say the script is too professional, let’s just give you a summary of the story.
He wants to film martial arts!
Martial arts is a good thing!
Although martial arts has now declined, Chinese people still have martial arts feelings.
As long as the TV series and movies produced are not too bad, generally everyone will like them.
Of course, nowadays, people may prefer fairy tales and fantasy TV series to martial arts.
But what's the difference?
I am also a flying sword, and you are also a flying sword.
Everyone is fighting around with Wia, you say you are a fairy?
Then I am really a martial artist!
Anyway, I don’t have any messy things like heavenly gods.
However, what Zhang Hong shoots may be a little different from ordinary martial arts.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who can make TV series not profitable?
During this period, he will be anxious to anyone who dares to raise ratings with him.
You said the ratings were over 10, so why did I pay for the filming in the first place?
Why did you send it to CCTV without taking any money after filming?
My self in this parallel world is so sexy! Why didn’t I know how to buy a house three years ago?
At that time, the house was 4,881 square meters. Now, in the same community, it is 12,000 square meters!
I was really kicked in the head by a donkey.
Life is not easy, Zhang Hong sighed.
Time continues to fly.
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
"Flags of Our Fathers" has finally reached its final two episodes.
In the hospital, the entire Jia family is here today.
Whether the old man can come out or not depends on today.
They will watch the last two episodes with Jashen.
In a courtyard more than ten kilometers away, there were also a group of elderly people sitting in the courtyard.
They didn't eat today, but they all sat upright.
They even put on military uniforms that they had not worn for decades, and their chests were covered with medals.
This is their respect.
Los Angeles, countryside.
Light rain fell on the ground.
Mr. Zhang is sitting in the living room, holding a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in his hand, eating and watching TV.
Today, countless middle-aged and elderly people across the country are sitting in front of the television.
There are also many young people.
However, more young people are going online to watch variety shows and online dramas.
Accompanied by the majestic symphony, this episode begins.
This episode can also be said to be the only big scene in the whole show.
Zhang Hong basically spent more than two-thirds of the budget on this. What's even more frightening is that the extras in this war scene are all serious soldiers.
Including warships and fighter planes, although there are special effects factors, many of them are old guys who have been retired and been brought out again.
And almost all explosives were used in this scene.
What is needed is that the scene is grand enough!
All you need is a passionate atmosphere!
This episode is also a vent to the first two episodes.
When Huang Sancheng's death brought the atmosphere to its most depressing level, the audience just needed a hearty victory to vent their emotions.
So this scene was played almost from beginning to end.
Zhang Hong hired those old men as consultants to film this part, so all the tactics used by the Chinese soldiers were recreated in this scene.
And the most amazing thing is that all the grandeur is described from the side.
The main perspective is still on Jia Xu, Jia Shen and the half-grown children.
Describe this "counterattack" through the perspective of soldiers on the battlefield.
Eventually, some of the enemy troops were driven overboard.
Most of the enemy troops were surrounded on the shore.
In order to prevent them from being defeated, Hua decided to surround them and leave them with a way out.
However, the enemy generals showed Fuso's usual urination and decided to gamble on the fate of the country and break up the country with Hua here.
Because they knew and just withdrew, the situation completely changed.
They are doomed to fail.
Hua State intercepted the information, so Jia Xu and others knew that there was still one last fierce battle.
While repairing in front of the station, facing the soldiers whose morale had dropped a lot, Jia Xu taught Lu Yingzi a song.
It's a song that everyone is familiar with.
"My Motherland".
At this time, Jashen received an order from his superiors, and his platoon was merged into other units to go to the front line to establish the first line of defense.
But these children have to retreat to the rear.
So he wanted to send people to take these children away.
Seeing this, Mr. Jashen in the ward was clutching the sheets. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and became extremely irregular on the heart rate monitor beside the hospital bed.
Now the children were all anxious. Some called for the doctor, and some came over to inquire.
But their noise did not affect Jashen. He just stared at the TV hanging on the wall, looking at the young man on the TV who looked exactly the same as before.
On TV, Jia Xu said to Jia Shen: "Let me go."
Jia Shen looked at Jia Xu: "Give me a reason."
What reason can I give you? Can I say that you are my grandfather? If you go, I will be finished?
This is Jia Xu’s voice on TV.
But in reality, when Jia Shen looked at Zhang Hong on TV, all he could see was how he looked seventy years ago.
He still remembers that day.
That was a memory he didn't want to face for the rest of his life.
"The mission has been sent down from above. Our platoon has merged into the Band of Brothers, but I have to retreat with the children, so... take care."
"Well, take care." That spring in Mr. Jashen's memory, the bookish young man said with a smile, "When the war is over, let's look at the future together for Old Huang. It's just going to be a pain for him.
It will be decades before we can see him."
"Yeah, definitely."
These were the last words the two of them said.
It was also the last time I saw him.
Decades later, he saw that face again.
His great-grandson is living a good life, and so are his sons and grandsons.
But he can no longer see the future.
On TV, the calm before the storm has passed.
Jashen left with the children.
Lu Yingzi grabbed the toffee wrapper and reluctantly looked back at Brother Laisheng.
But her brother in the next life just smiled gently, straightened his helmet, shouldered his gun, joined the river of warriors heading for the distant place, and finally disappeared.
The ending song plays.
Listening to "The Soul of the Chinese Army" at the end of the film, which had a few words changed by Zhang Hong, Mr. Jia Shen closed his eyes.
His heartbeat on the instrument also gradually became steady.
There was peace in his heart.
Maybe it's time.
It's time to meet the two of them. The three of us are together so we won't be lonely on the road to hell.
When the time comes, I must apologize to him properly.
But first, let’s watch the last episode.
This is the last memory he left to this world.
In the next life, he will remain nameless like other unknown heroes.
If old guys like him leave, no one in this world will remember him anymore.
The last episode has begun.
ps: The next chapter of the TV series ends, and then a new chapter begins.
After sorting out the outline, I have hundreds of thousands of words of content behind it.
