May 14, 2021, the penultimate day of the finale, episodes 27 and 28 of "Bright Sword".
The main perspective of these two episodes is still on the military academy. After the initial discomfort and playfulness, Li Yunlong, a group of rough guys, gradually understood the benefits and necessity of learning military theory, and their attitude changed significantly, and they began to become practical and serious.
At the same time, Tian Yu became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and Li Yunlong's differences with her life concepts gradually increased, especially in terms of educating their children, and they felt that there was a slight crisis in their relationship.
At this time, the appearance of Tian Yu's best friend Zhang Bailu quickly intensified the emotional differences that were originally controllable between Li and Tian.
Fortunately, Tian Yu ended up decisively in time, took Lao Li back, and saved his marriage.
Regarding Zhang Bailu's scene, many viewers in the original version felt that it was added inexplicably, and it was a tasteless scene that would be a pity to discard.
However, some viewers are very supportive of this role and even think that Zhang Bailu is more suitable for Li Yunlong than Tian Yu.
There are many people who agree with this statement.
The reason is not that Zhang Bailu is very likable, but mainly that some of Tian Yu's actions in the later period made the audience disgusted.
He was an arrogant intellectual, looked down upon Li Yunlong, was self-righteous, cared about everything, lost his temper, and behaved like a petty bourgeoisie in a simple era, etc.
Not to mention she also has an unpleasant talking father...
It can be said that Tian Yu has stepped on the audience's radar for many things. Compared with the cute and cute Nurse Oda at the beginning, Tian Yu after marriage gradually turned into what Jia Baoyu calls "dead fish eyes".
Compared with her, Zhang Bailu is beautiful and considerate. Like Jie Yuhua, he understands, supports, tolerates and worships Li Yunlong. No matter how you look at it, it seems that Zhang Bailu is better than Tian Yu.
But if you take a closer look at it.
Is Zhang Shitian's best friend really reliable in character and someone who flirts with her best friend's husband?
Don't use Love Actually as an excuse, "Bright Sword" is a war drama, not a mistress' Mary Su love story.
Therefore, some viewers who like to think think that the arrangement of Zhang Bailu's role may have a deeper meaning.
For example, it may be that he wanted to express the temptation of the cadres who had just established their position at that time, but they did not dare to express it too much and could only express it in a subtle way.
If you are more open-minded, you may even wonder if these three people have a deeper allusion, such as representing the collision of old and new ideas.
Some people think that the dramatist is satirizing Li Yunlong's historical prototype. This is absolutely nonsense, unless the dramatist is mentally ill and likes to play with death...
………
When Zuo Le was playing the script on Goldfinger Player, the original barrage was very noisy. From the perspective of a film and television producer.
He is not afraid of being noisy, but he is afraid that the plot will be light and the audience will pass by at a glance.
Therefore, Zuo Le added this section and made Zhang Bailu more "likeable" based on part of the plot of the original version.
It's not because of his bad mouth. The actor Zhang Bailu in the original version is really not that beautiful, and he can't beat the not-so-beautiful original Tian Yu, let alone the enhanced Wan Qian version of Tian Yu in the Shanhe version.
Therefore, Zuo Le, who plays Zhang Bailu, specifically asked Song Jia to make a guest appearance.
This girl can be either sweet or salty, with a changeable temperament. She can play the fierce and tough Xian'er, or she can play the gentle, charming and a bit seductive Zhang Bailu.
Only Zhang Bailu like this could make Lao Li almost fall into the trap.
After these two episodes were aired, Zhang Bailu's character really caused some controversy, and Li Yunlong's reputation was negative, mainly from female viewers.
But it doesn't matter. Although Li Yunlong is lovable, he is not a perfect personality and has a lot of problems. From a certain perspective, the Zhang Bailu incident made him more real.
In fact, Zuo Le personally feels that among the women who appear most in the drama, the one who is most suitable for Li Yunlong is Xiu Qin.
Needless to say, Zhang Bailu, Taixu, Tian Yu and Li Yunlong have too big a difference in their origin concepts, so they are not very suitable.
Although Xiuqin is not highly educated, she has a strong character and a sharp temper that can control Li Yunlong. The most important thing is that Xiuqin is not a flower vase. She is a serious female cadre with very capable work ability. Even Zhao Gang is impressed.
Appreciate.
Li Yunlong has such a bold character, someone in the family must deal with him. If Tian Yu can't control him, Xiu Qin should be able to.
Of course, apart from Xiu Qin, the most suitable person for Li Yunlong is actually Political Commissar Zhao...
…………
After 28 episodes were aired, the ratings of "Bright Sword" have reached 5.84.
With the current daily rising momentum of "Bright Sword", it is supplemented by the bonus of the final finale.
Breaking 6 can be said to be a handful.
This time, the crew of "Bright Sword" and everyone at Shanhe couldn't be more excited. To exaggerate, they even felt like they were experiencing and witnessing history.
Fang Weimin, who had just become director of Dongshan Station, made a special phone call to Zuo Le to congratulate him and express his excitement.
As soon as he took office, the TV series that premiered on the station broke the ratings record. The huge results hit him in the face. Can you not be excited?
Zuo Le was also in a good mood and had a good chat with the old leader for a while.
At the beginning of the year, there were personnel changes in the top management of Dongshan Taiwan, and Chen Changshan was promoted to the second-in-command of Dongshan Provincial Publicity Office.
This is not an exceptional promotion. Before this, Chen Changshan had held other positions in the publicity department. After several years of hard work, he climbed to the position of deputy in one fell swoop.
Chen Changshan stayed at Dongshan TV for more than seven years, taking Dongshan TV from a notorious second-tier, middle and lower-tier TV station to the first-tier domestic TV station, and even at the forefront of the first-tier TV station, with remarkable achievements and continuous success.
Being able to rise to the top of the provincial level this time is considered a success.
And the key point is that Chen Changshan is not too old now. With his achievements and qualifications, he is very hopeful to take charge of Dongshan Publicity Center in the future.
This is a real boss, one of the top ten in the province.
After Chen Changshan left, he recommended Fang Weimin to take over as director of the station. He was the second-in-command in publicity and the old director of the station, so he had a lot of say in the selection of his successor.
Fang Weimin has been responsible for contacting Shanhe in recent years. In name, he purchased all Shanhe's dramas. The ratings on the station are very popular, and he has contributed a lot.
In addition, Lao Fang was well-connected with people both up and down the stage, had some prestige, and his ability was considered above average. Finally, after some consideration, Lao Fang was allowed to take over.
After Dongshantai changed dynasties, its relationship with Shanhe also underwent considerable changes.
No matter how good the relationship between Zuo Le and Chen Changshan is, there is still a layer of separation between them, and Lao Fang is Zuo Le's old leader and Bole who took good care of him when he first entered the industry.
When Zuo Le first started, without Lao Fang's support, his development would never have been so smooth. Later, when he left to found Shanhe, it was Lao Fang who helped mediate so that no disputes arose.
Even in these years, the relationship between Shanhe and Dongshantai has been at odds with each other, and Lao Fang has made great contributions in it.
Zuo Le kept these things in mind. He respected Lao Fang very much and the two had a very good personal relationship. As soon as Fang Weimin came to power, Shanhe and Dongshantai, who had been a little cold because of Zhang Mei, immediately abandoned their old opinions and reconciled as before.
.
In fact, apart from the personal relationship, what impressed Zuo Le even more when Lao Fang came to power was that Lao Fang had a good temper and was tolerant of others. He liked to cooperate with such a leader.
This is not to say that Chen Changshan is not good, Mr. Chen is very capable, but he has a strong personality, likes to have everything under his control, has a strong desire to control, and usually likes to mess around.
Zuo Le had a real headache sometimes when dealing with him.
Fang Weimin attaches great importance to "Bright Sword". Although the finale is said to be a safe one, he is still afraid of accidents.
Therefore, on May 15th, Dongshan Channel will bombard the publicity all day long, striving to maximize the ratings of the finale of "Bright Sword".
Shanhe is also very cooperative, and all the artists have promoted it on online social platforms.
All the cast members of the cast of "Bright Sword" also recorded a video in which they performed their own classic scenes, which were edited and used for publicity on Dongshan TV and on the Internet.
…………
On the evening of May 15th, Qixia Town
At the hotel's internal cinema rented by the crew of "Wulin Gaiden", Zuo Le, dressed in casual clothes, appeared at the door, looking at the dozen or so figures in the cinema, he smiled brightly.
"Oh, they're all here."
"The finale of "Bright Sword" is about to hit the 6th level. How can we not witness this historic moment?" Sha Yi said with a smile.
The previous little entanglement disappeared as soon as "Bright Sword" officially surpassed "Wulin Gaiden". He and Yu Entai later apologized to Li Youbin.
That's it for others. He and Yu Entai had the same father-and-son relationship with Li Youbin when they were filming "Crossing Guandong", so they were deliberately left out for such a false reputation, which was really inappropriate.
Li Youbin is very generous. He can understand the mood of Sha Yi and others.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, the significance of "Wulin Gaiden" to Sha Yi and others is like that of "Bright Sword" and himself.
If one day in the future, "Bright Sword", which is currently at its peak, is surpassed by another drama, he cannot guarantee that he will not be dissatisfied.
So, it doesn't matter if you are confused for a while, as long as you don't get into trouble, the three of them have a good relationship in "Crossing the Guandong", and Li Youbin doesn't want to get into trouble because of this trivial matter.
You know, when they were filming "Crossing Guandong", Sha Yi and Yu Entai often called him daddy both inside and outside the movie.
In this world, how can a father blame his son...
Zuo Le and Sha Yi chatted for a while and found a seat to sit down. Wu Jing happened to be sitting next to them.
"Seven Swords 2" has been completed, and just as the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" added a fighting scene, Zuo Le brought Wu Jing over and even made a cameo role in the easter egg.
In the first battle of the Red Flame Madman Mo Xiaobei's debut, he was the backdrop and was beaten wildly by the fledgling Boss Mo.
After Wu Jing came to the crew, he worked conscientiously and helped a lot in the filming. Zuo Le now admires him very much and takes the initiative to chat with him.
"What are your plans after the movie?"
Wu Jing is not Sha Yi, he and Zuo Le are old friends, and they talk casually. When he joined Sunward, Zuo Le was already a big shot in the industry, so his attitude towards Zuo Le was mostly that of employees showing awe to their boss.
"Chairman, Director Gao gave me a role before, the Eight Princes in "Lotus Lantern", and also served as action director. When he prepares the crew, I will go over to help."
"The Eighth Prince? Ao Chun."
Zuo Le took a look at Wu Jing and found that it was indeed a good fit. In fact, he had previously thought about letting Wu Jing play the role of Agarwood.
It's a pity that Gao Xinjian wanted to support his godson Chu Yuan (Heimu), and Wu Jing was indeed "older" and Chen Xiang was set as a teenager. Zuo Le didn't want to compete with Gao Xinjian, a child maniac, so he gave up.
In fact, Ao Chun is not bad either. Apart from Chen Xiang and Er Lang Shen, he has the most male roles in "Baolian Lantern", and he can be regarded as the third male actor who cannot make any money.
Zuo Le didn't expect that Wu Jing was quite likable. After going to "Seven Swords 2", Gao Xinjian took a fancy to him and directly gave him such an important role.
"The Lotus Lantern is good. Follow Director Gao and work hard. My company and I will see it."
Zuo Le drew the pie skillfully. Wu Jing didn't know if he really believed it or if he was acting on purpose. He looked grateful.
…………
While the two were chatting, the time reached 8 pm. The home theater was connected to Dongshan Satellite TV, and the majestic opening song of "Bright Sword" played.
"...
The red flag flutters and the bugle sounds
The sword is unsheathed, thunder and lightning flash
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
…
move forward, move forward
move forward, move forward
The spirit of the Chinese army
………”
Although Wu Jing has heard this song many times, every time he hears it again, Wu Jing still can't help but get excited and can't help but mutter.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make a military-themed work."
Zuo Le listened to Wu Jing's words and smiled slightly. The young man was quite energetic.
The opening song passed and the TV series got to the point.
The student careers of Li Yunlong and others at the Military Academy are coming to an end. Each of them has to write a graduation thesis and deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony.
The Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle was so worried that they gathered together to discuss. Inspired by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong remembered the spirit of the sword that he often said, and planned to use this as the title, and asked Chang Naichao to help polish it.
After that, when the Military Academy received the notification of the conferment, I went to the Northwest Iron Triangle and found out that I was only a major general, and I complained a lot.
The three of them deliberately did not wear the new military uniforms during exercise and made a fuss, which angered Liu Shuai, the dean and the head teacher of the three.
This line from Liu Shuai is very well written.
"It's such a big fuss over the sesame seeds and mung beans on my shoulders, it's shameful, it's shameful."
"We have been engaged in armed struggle for more than 20 years, and how many comrades have died in the process. Think about them, what titles should they receive?"
"Yes, you are all men of war merit and have fought many victorious battles. Isn't this enough for you?"
"We have been fighting wars for decades, and others have been fighting wars for decades, and our war capabilities, combat methods and military theories are much better than ours. The Korean War is proof of this."
"Is it okay if you don't study? You always think of yourself as a coward and are proud of your lack of education. I look down on such people."
"Occupying a manhole and not doing anything, occupying a high position and being incompetent. In the end, it is not just a person who loses his face, but the country, the army, and the people's happy life."
"Remember, there is a war here too."
“…”
A mere hundred or so words are deafening.
Not only did it shatter the playful mentality of the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, but it also defined in one fell swoop why the plot of the Military Academy was filmed.
It's well written and well acted.
The actor who plays Liu Shuai is a special type of Liu Shuai, a national first-class actor. His ability is beyond words, and he vividly interprets an old leader who is concerned about the country and the people, and who is heartbroken.

ps: I made a mistake in the previous chapter. The scene where Ding Wei’s father missed the buttocks was advanced a few episodes. It has been corrected now.
