Chapter 181 'Crossing the Guandong' staged the finale
The plot of the last two episodes of "Crossing Guandong" can be called depressing. It should be said that the entire plot in the later stages is a bit sad.
After the Zhu Pan dispute, after Zhu Panshan and Pan Wuye made peace, Lao Zhu's family was not stable for a long time, and he faced off with Japanese businessman Morita because of the coal mine incident.
Morita, who had a Japanese military background, was the most difficult enemy in Zhu Kaishan's life.
During this period, Ichiro, a Japanese adopted son who had been briefly adopted by the Zhu family, also came to Harbin from Japan to run a trading company and became acquainted with the Zhu family.
In the subsequent plot, this Japanese fourth-year-old Zhu actually fell in love with Xiu'er, who had been neglected by Chuanwu, and boldly expressed his love.
Xiu'er was very resistant to this at first, but under Ichiro's constant offensive, she gradually became interested. As the Zhu family was devoted to spreading martial arts and fell in love with Xian'er, they felt very guilty for their second daughter-in-law Xiu'er, and felt sorry for Ichiro and her.
Feelings bless you.
When Xiuer and Ichiro came into contact with each other during their wedding, Morita also noticed this Japanese compatriot who had a close relationship with the Zhu family and kept in close contact with him.
At the same time, Zhu Chuanwen, the boss of the Zhu family, was dissatisfied because he could not get involved in his own coal mine. He was also afraid that the Japanese were too powerful and that the Zhu family would offend the Japanese. He was coerced and induced by Morita and agreed to help promote "cooperation" between Shanhe Coal Mine and the Japanese.
And Ichiro was brainwashed by Morita's so-called interests of the Japanese Empire, and for the safety of himself and Xiu'er, he also obeyed Morita's orders, and worked with Chuanwen to help Morita plan to seize the equity of Shanhe Coal Mine.
At that time, outside the customs, Japan was already strong, and the Zhu family could only support Morita, but in the end there was a traitor within. The two sons joined forces to cheat their father. How could they be invincible?
Zhu Kaishan, who finally learned the truth, was so angry that he fell into a coma.
…………
When this scene was aired, the actor who played Chuanbun Kazuo Ichiro was criticized by netizens.
In particular, Sha Yi plays the role of the boss Chuan Wen, who is stubborn and thinks he is good to the Zhu family, but in fact he regards the thief as his father and helps the tyrants to do harm.
Of course, there were difficulties in spreading the article, and he was deceived by Morita due to his personal character, but these reasons were not enough to extinguish the anger of the audience.
In addition, the eldest brother's character is not very likable when comparing several brothers in the article, and now major problems arise when it comes to his principled stance.
Just spray it and it's done.
[Biography, Zhu Family Scum] This hot search was on the hot search list for 4 days.
Although I didn't reach the front rank, I never fell down. After one episode, some people scolded me and wrote about it, and the level of discussion remained high.
Until the finale, this hot search was still ranked in the top 30 spots on the hot search list.
Sha Yi has not dared to show up in Bibo these days. If he hadn't gained a lot of popularity with Bai Zhantang in "Wulin Gaiden" before, he would probably be scolded as depressed by the audience of "Guandong" now.
However, although he received a lot of scolding, it just shows that Sha Yi played the role very well.
Some fans of Sha Yi were worried that the role of Bai Zhantang was too classic and would affect and limit Sha Yi's acting career.
But judging from the current results, Sha Yi's transformation this time is perfect. When it comes to his masterpieces in the future, in addition to a lot of sitcoms, there is also the unlovable Boss Zhu in "Guandong".
Similar to Sha Yi, the actor who plays Ichiro - Cen Kun.
This actor is a newcomer and is currently studying at Beijing Film Academy. He is handsome and has good acting talent. The most important thing is that he has a melancholic temperament.
Last year, when Cen Kun was participating in a model catwalk part-time, he was accidentally discovered by Cao Jie, the director of Shanhe Variety Show. Cao Jie took a fancy to this young man and thought he had a starry air about him.
Later, Cen Kun was persuaded by Cao Jie to sign a contract with Shanhe, and Cao Jie strongly recommended it to Zuo Le.
At that time, Zuo Le was filming "Into the East", and Yuan Ye (Hong Miao, "Seven Swords"), who was originally scheduled to star in Ichiro, had a temporary schedule change and was unable to come over to film.
Seeing that Cao Jie strongly recommended it, Zuo Le thought that Cen Kun was of the right age and had decent acting skills, so he gave him the role of Ichiro.
Cen Kun, who has never filmed a formal film or television drama before, made his debut in Zuo Le's new drama, which is the dream of countless actors.
Although Ichiro is only a supporting character with few roles, he is considered a top resource for a newcomer like Cen Kun.
However, after "Enter Guandong" was aired, what it brought to Cen Kun was not flowers and applause, but mixed praise and praise.
To be more precise, "destruction" should be far greater than "reputation".
The reputation is that Ichiro and Xiuer finally got married and gave Xiuer, who had suffered most of the drama, a good home.
Destruction is the matter of Ichiro and Morita conspiring to harm the Zhu family.
What about the farmer and the snake, ungrateful, wolf-hearted, repaying kindness with evil... all of them were piled on him. At the beginning, he was still a character, but later he became an actor himself.
Cen Kun is not Sha Yi. He has been in the industry for many years and has seen a lot. How could he, a newcomer to the industry, have seen all this?
In addition, his personality is relatively more sensitive than ordinary people. If Cao Jie had not provided timely guidance, the young man might have become depressed.
Fortunately, the finale of "Crossing Guandong" finally cleared up the character of Ichiro.
Ichiro saw Zhu Kaishan passed out on the bed and his wife Xiu'er, who had broken up with him angrily. He felt ashamed and ashamed. He took the evidence of Morita's conspiracy to seize the Shanhe Coal Mine and gave it to Chuanjie. After returning home, he shot himself alone.
His death has cleared up the blame, not to mention that Ichiro was originally forced to participate in the evil deeds. This time he committed suicide and apologized, it also extinguished the anger of many viewers.
Cen Kun, the actor, successfully escaped from the bad public opinion, but at the same time, he also left a legacy.
The young man was almost scolded this time and had a psychological shadow. Now he is very resistant to playing a villain. He even told his agent that he doesn't care about the size of the role, but he will never play a villain.
Zuo Le felt very sorry when he heard about this later.
Cen Kun is a gentle and elegant guy, with a melancholic temperament of a literary youth. He is simply a perfect match between a scumbag and a gentle man, and he defectes to the decent route. He is a natural talent.
Well, people are still worried about it now. After a while, Cen Kun comes out of the shadows and is assigned the role of a top scumbag. He will definitely become an instant hit...
…………
After Ichiro's death, Zhu Kaishan was almost strangled to death by Zhu Kaishan, who was rumored to have killed his relatives due to his righteousness, and fled out of the house in fear.
At this time, the Japanese invaded outside the customs, and the September 18 incident broke out. A certain young marshal with an army of 300,000 people said that the captain of a certain transportation brigade was not allowed to counterattack. He drank red wine in Shili Yangchang and watched the Japanese army take over most of the territory outside the customs.
In the play "Crossing Guandong", Zuo Le's image of a certain young marshal is far from being smeared. Basically, he adapted it according to the current situation at that time.
After a certain marshal announced the withdrawal of his troops, Zhu Chuanwu begged and persuaded many times to no avail, so he decided to lead his troops to fight the enemy to the death in Shuangcheng where he was stationed. Xian'er came with the Erlongshan bandits to support him.
At first, Chuanwu had a small victory, but as a large number of Japanese troops counterattacked, they had to retreat to Harbin.
At the same time, a case involving the Shanhe Coal Mine was held in the Harbin City Court. Zhu Kaishan brought his grandson to the court, saying that he was old, but the Zhu family still had descendants.
He wanted his grandson to see how the Japanese stole China's interests and how the traitors betrayed the country's coal mines. When his grandson grows up in the future, he and this group of people will settle these accounts one by one.
Amid the sound of Japanese gunfire, the judge ruled in favor of Shanhe Coal Mine in accordance with the law, and Morita left in frustration.
But here, Nawen conspired with his son to trick Chuanwen into returning home, and he hid a knife in his boot.
In the alley in the backyard of Zhu's house, Nawen persuaded her husband again, but Chuanwen still persisted.
Nawen was so angry that he lifted up his cheongsam, pulled out a hidden knife from his boot, and slashed his own father in front of his son, determined to eliminate thieves for the country.
Dad, Dad is going to strangle himself to death.
Wife, my wife chased me with a knife and chopped me.
Son, son looks down on him.
The rumors were mixed until the end, and it was like everyone was betraying their relatives and abandoning them.
It has to be said that Na Wen's commotion highlighted the "miserability" of the article, made the audience a lot angry, and also paved the way for the ending of the article below.
…………
Next, the Zhu family heard that the front line was short of supplies, so they organized a large number of food and clothing supplies to be sent to the front line, and took the last family photo of the entire series on the battlefield.
After the Zhu family left, and during the truce on the battlefield, Xian'er and Chuanwu, the miserable mandarin ducks who had been entangled for half their lives, finally confessed their true feelings to each other and verbally became husband and wife.
Later, Chuanwu died for his country on the battlefield. When Chuanwu died, the son of Chuanjie, the third child, was born.
Along with the baby's cry, Chuanwu fell down.
The Zhu family died and lived, heroes died, and hope was born.
The hidden meaning of this scene is very deep. The two climaxes are paired together, coupled with the camera changes and the infectious BGM, it looks very shocking.
It has also become the scene that left the deepest impression on many people in "Crossing Guandong".
When Chuanwu was about to die, he left the last words "go home" to Xian'er. The grief-stricken Xian'er returned to the Zhu family with Chuanwu's body.
Then there are the two peak crying scenes mentioned above, which directly pushed the audience who were already sentimental about the sacrifice of martial arts to the extreme.
Regarding this scene, almost everyone on the Internet cried after watching it, and there were countless sad messages on the screen.
Li Youbin's crying scene was even promoted to the altar. After editing the soundtrack, it was circulated on major online platforms.
The next day, Chuanwen came to Zhu's house with Morita in a Japanese military uniform, ready to persuade his father to surrender to Japan and save the whole family. However, Chuanwen immediately collapsed when he learned that his second brother Chuanwu had died.
This point needs to be explained in detail. The boss Chuan Wen is timid, narrow-minded and has a lot of problems, but he is indeed a good big brother, filial to his family and caring for his brothers.
He took refuge in Morita because he was afraid of death, but at the same time he felt that he was doing it for the good of his family. The Zhu family could not defeat the Japanese, so only by being honest and obedient could he survive safely.
It was precisely because he felt that what he was doing was right that Zhu Chuanwen was obsessed with it and was indifferent to the advice of his relatives. This was also reflected in his previous lines, where he always mentioned that he was doing it for the good of the Zhu family.
Therefore, facing the "killer" of his father, wife and son, Chuanwen was angry but did not hold a grudge.
He felt that when the Japanese completely gained the upper hand in the future and he stepped in to save his family, he would prove who was right and who was wrong.
It wasn't until his father told him personally that his second brother died at the gunpoint of the Japanese. When he saw the message about Chuanwu's corpse, his long-standing concept suddenly collapsed.
Although he didn't like his second brother who always contradicted him, he was his flesh and blood brother. How could he remain indifferent to his brother's death?
What made him even more angry was that he abandoned his family and career and took refuge in Morita with a bad reputation in order to save the whole family, but now his second brother was killed by Japanese people.
Chuanwen finally realized that he had been tricked, so he grabbed a gun angrily, and excitedly shot Morita, which also symbolized his break with Japan and his return to the Zhu family.
Finally, the old and strong Zhu Kaishan shot Morita to death with a flying knife, avenging his beloved son. Then he gave up the foundation he had worked hard for all his life, took his family on a sledge, and drove slowly into the distance.
A semi-open ending, the finale of "Crossing Guandong" has finished.
The audience was left to listen to the ending song "Homeland" and silently recall every detail of the Zhu family's life. Many people posted their thoughts after watching the drama on social networks.
The famous director Zhang Kaigang is one of them. On the night of the finale of "Crossing the Guandong", he suddenly updated his scarf after more than half a month and wrote a review of "Crossing the Guandong".
The original text is as follows——
During the filming of "The Murderous Case of Steamed Buns", I often suffered from insomnia at night because of the entanglement in filming. After an old friend recommended it, I picked up "Crossing Guandong". After watching the ending today, I suddenly wanted to write something for the Zhu family.
My humble opinion, let's discuss rationally.
When I was watching the show, I saw many netizens’ discussions about this show. They had different opinions, and I tend to agree with two of them.
The drama "Crossing Guandong" is represented by the Zhu family, showing their tenacious national spirit and their lifelong pursuit of home.
Yes, I think the theme of "Enter Guandong" is home, which is also the name of its ending song.
The Zhu family traveled to Guandong for home.
Zhu Kaishan fought for his life in the gold field for his family.
Chuanwen came to Morita for the sake of his family.
Chuanjie walked in the snow for the sake of his family.
Chuanwu died on the battlefield for his country and his family, and his last words were to go home.
This home is not a place, but an emotional sustenance.
From the original home in Dongshan, to Fangniugou in Yuanbao Town, to the old Dongshan restaurant, the location kept changing, but no matter where it was, it was still the home of the Zhu family.
I think the family portraits in the ending theme are also Director Zuo's implicit interpretation of home.
Director Zuo and I have never met, but we have been close friends for a long time. After watching "Enter Guandong" this time, I really feel that the future is formidable. The emergence of such outstanding young directors in the country is a blessing to the Chinese film and television industry...
…………
Zhang Kaigang is one of the top directors in China and has a very high status in the film and television industry and in the hearts of the audience. He spoke highly of "Crossing Guandong" and Zuo Le, which caused quite a stir.
Although Zuo Le is now considered a famous director in the industry, there is still a gap compared with top directors like Zhang Kaigang who have achieved outstanding results in both TV and movies.
Therefore, when Zuo Le responded to the interview, he humbly expressed his gratitude to Director Zhang for his love and that he would work hard in the future and learn more from his predecessors.
However, although Zuo Le spoke modestly, the results of "Crossing Guandong" were extremely strong. After the finale.
"Crossing Guandong" has an average ratings of 4.2 and a Douhua score of 9.3.
The ratings were the highest in the first half of 2020.
The word-of-mouth score also ranked first in the first half of the year with another masterpiece with a score of 9.3.
With such astonishing ratings, many people have said that "Enter Guandong" has basically won the 2020 annual ratings championship.
Unless there is a ratings myth like "Wulin Gaiden" in the second half of the year...
Zuo Le, known as the king of ratings, has a promising new drama "Magic Phone" in the second half of the year.
Beijing TV's all-star cast of "New Legend of the Gods" is not without its chances.
There is also Hunan TV's "Sweet Showdown" starring the little traffic king Ma Yibo and his newly revealed girlfriend.
Top celebrity Ma Yibo's announcement of his relationship was the biggest entertainment news in the first half of 2020. The popularity has remained high. The two people involved in the news played the leading role of male and female.
"Sweet Showdown" has had extremely high traffic since its launch, and it is hard to say that it will not become a dark horse in the ratings in the second half of the year.
