Chapter 370 Three old masters, lingering fragrant through the ages!
"Mansion Gate" started airing on June 1st, and its ratings have been rising all the way, reaching the peak of growth on June 28th.
At this time, "The Mansion Gate" has been played for nearly two-thirds of the time.
The male protagonist Bai Jingqi has grown from a gangster to a famous drug dealer. Bai Qiye's fame has spread throughout the medical industry, and the time-honored Baicaoting brand has been fully carried forward in his hands.
Huang Chun, Yang Jiuhong, Huaihua, and Xiangxiu, four of Bai Jingqi's women, also appeared one by one, and staged many emotional entanglements with Bai Jingqi.
Even Bai Jingqi's son has grown up. Bai Jingye, the prodigal son played by Cen Kun, is just like Bai Laosan at the beginning, and has become the most hated Bai family character by the audience.
Speaking of which, Cen Kun was also unlucky. He had always wanted to refuse to play a positive and gentle role in Shanhe, but the roles he was assigned were completely different from what he expected.
Ichiro who went astray in "Crossing Guandong".
Lu Ka-kui, the swinger brother in "The Big Dye House".
"Charlotte Troubles" comes with its own BGM by Yuan Hua.
"The Gate of the Great House" Bai Jingye, the prodigal son.
These characters are not necessarily all villains, but their attributes are very different from those of positive characters.
Cen Kun was helpless, why is it so difficult for him to play a good person...
As the plot continues to develop, the characters in the play continue to increase in age, and the soul character in the early and middle stages of the play - Mistress Bai finally reaches the end of her life.
In the 57th episode of "The Mansion Gate", Mistress Bai was lying on the bed, leaving her last wish not to allow Yang Jiuhong to pay filial piety, and left with her eyes closed.
As the second generation head of the Bai family who saved the declining Baicao Hall and revitalized the family business, the death of the second grandma, the current ancestor of the Bai family, shocked the entire Bai family.
Bai Jingqi and the group of children raised by the second mistress tried their best to send this elder they respected.
………
For the funeral scene of Mistress Bai, the crew of "The Mansion Gate" completely followed the old etiquette of wealthy families in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The screenwriter Kong Shenghe even consulted relevant folklore experts.
All props for the funeral, including coffin paper binding, mourning robes and hats, white flags, blue sedan chairs, portraits, musicians, etc., are all made of real materials and were specially customized by the crew from the funeral industry.
In order to show the magnificence and scene of the funeral, nearly 400 people were used in the extra performance alone, and they were arranged in a long line, which could not be seen at a glance.
The whole cast started crying, especially the lead actor, who was crying like a real person, howling, snot, and tears bursting out.
Except that the identities of the actors are fake and there is no one lying in the coffin, all other props, processes, costumes and other aspects are almost 1:1 reproduction of the funeral of a wealthy family in the Republic of China.
Rather than saying it was a play, it was better to say that it was a real funeral for Mistress Bai, both true and false.
It is said that when "The Mansion Gate" was filming this scene, Gao Wa, who played the role of the second wife, was eating melon seeds and watching the fun. As a result, it became more and more strange, as if she was really being sent away by everyone.
It made Teacher Gao almost doubt his life...
Mistress Bai was one of the charming characters in "The Mansion", and her death aroused heated discussion among the audience.
At the same time, from the plot point of view, the departure of Mistress Bai not only takes away the two important characters of Huang Chun and aunt Yaping, but also symbolizes that the Bai family has lost its Dinghai Shenzhen and has begun to decline.
Sure enough, after the death of the second mistress, the plot shifted to the 1930s, when Japan invaded, the capital fell, and the Japanese forced Bai Jingqi to become the president of the Medicine Association.
Bai Jingqi naturally did not want to be a traitor, so he tried every means to shirk the blame and avoid it. Unexpectedly, his enemies Wang Xiguang and the Japanese pressed hard, and even seized the fatal clue - Bai Zhanyuan, the grandson of the Bai family, joined the anti-Japanese armed forces.
This is a fatal matter. If it is revealed, the entire Bai family will be buried with him.
At the critical moment, Bai Laosan stepped forward and volunteered to become the president of Bai Jingqi, shouldering the reputation of being a traitor.
At the inauguration meeting of the president of the Pharmacy Association, all the pharmaceutical dealers, led by Master Yu, ridiculed the Bai family's "cowardly" behavior and were quite disdainful.
It is worth mentioning that the guest actor in Ba Ye is the famous domestic performing artist Li Xuejian, and Zuo Le also took advantage of the popularity of fellow Dongshan fellows to invite him to come out.
Back to the plot, Mr. Bai, who has always been a bastard, has the most glorious moment in his life.
Chewing tobacco paste and drinking foreign wine happily, the white-haired Mr. Bai still looked like a carefree and generous old man, but the words in his mouth were deafening.
"You can do anything in this world, but there is one thing you cannot do, and that is you cannot be a traitor.
Today, as the president of the medicine shop, I will make a charter with you. The first one is, no matter whose secret recipe is hidden, it must not be given to Japanese people.
Article 2: Anyone who sells Japanese medicine on behalf of any account should be thrown out by me. Don’t hit yourself in the leg with someone else’s crutch.
Article 3: It is better to be cut into pieces than to be a slave to the subjugation of the country."
Faced with the angry traitors and Japanese people, Mr. Bai was not afraid and took out the smoke paste that he ate as a snack. This substance is highly poisonous, and when supplemented with wine, it is difficult for gods to save him.
"Look at the dark hole ahead, it must be the thief's lair. I can't help but rush forward and kill him cleanly..."
Mr. Bai Sanye and Bai Jingqi finally recited the classic line "Pick the Pulley" together and died in their nephew's arms.
Teacher Li Xuejian played Mr. Yu Ba, who led the drug dealers to kneel down and shouted with emotion on their faces.
"The third old man will be famous for eternity!"
There is no doubt that Bai Laosan's death was extremely brilliant. He lived a life of confusion, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and did not lose his national integrity when he died, which can be regarded as upright.
It can be said that the ending of Bai Laosan's death to prove his ambition has made the whole character sublimated.
Zuo Le commented that he was both good and evil, flesh and blood, not a good person, but a Chinese.
………
The death of Mr. Bai caused the ratings of "Mansion Gate" to reach 4.23, which has already surpassed "Enter Guandong".
Douhua's score also reached 9.3, which is the same as "Enter Guandong" and "Bright Sword" among dramas, and is ranked below "Wulin Gaiden" with a score of 9.6.
But at the same time, two very popular characters, Mistress Bai and Master Bai, were offline in just a few episodes, which dealt a huge blow to "The Mansion Gate".
It can be said that once these two leave, the only leading actors left who can carry the drama are Bai Jingqi and Xiang Xiu, who can barely count as half.
In terms of her role, Yang Jiuhong can be considered half, but her character design is so unlikable that she can be ignored.
There are nearly 20 episodes left in "The Mansion Gate". With the support of only one and a half starring actors, the plot is still relatively sad and quite unfriendly to the audience.
The crew and Shanhe have been prepared for the stagnant growth in the ratings of "Mansion Gate", and obviously, this time the prediction was not wrong.
After "The Mansion Gate", the ratings growth declined severely, and the overall growth rate was extremely slow.
Until the finale of the TV series, it only reached a ratings of 4.32...
However, despite this, the results of "The Mansion Gate" are still eye-catching, becoming the fourth TV series of Shanhe to break the 4. The results are only ranked below the two national-level TV series "Bright Sword" and "Wulin Gaiden".
Kong Sheng has also become the second director of Shanhe to achieve a breakthrough of 4, or in other words, the second in the entire field of TV dramas in recent years.
Let Kong Sheng challenge Zuo Le's position as the first person in the TV series, and the voice of "defeating mountains and rivers with mountains and rivers" is rampant in the circle...
