Although Wu Chuo felt that he could contact several of his roommates' sons and borrow a VIP membership account from them, it would take time.
For Wu Chuo, who has already watched the drama, he can't wait to watch the next plot.
Isn’t it just 15 yuan?
purchase!
Seeing that another 15 points were deducted from Huabei's limit, Wu Chuo didn't even blink. He immediately refreshed his account and clicked on the third episode of "Mao Liar".
What he didn't expect was that even though he was already a VIP, Penguin Video actually had a 15-second ad that couldn't be skipped.
That's too much!
Wu Chuo planned to wait until he finished watching the remaining two episodes of "Mao Liar" and have a good chat with Penguin Video to let them know about the anger of consumers.
………
Due to the compression of the plot of the first part of the original version, the previous plots of the Shanhe version have changed a lot compared to the original version.
The first episode was okay, it mainly introduced the protagonist group, and then Xiaobao joined the group, adding a lot of details, but the overall plot did not change much.
Starting from the second episode, it is different from the original version.
An episode is 40 to 50 minutes long, basically using half of the unit plot, with the protagonist group committing crimes, and half interspersed with the main plot of Zhao Ning's revenge, while not forgetting to flirt with the Fox Organization.
The third episode of "Mao Liang" also follows the same pattern. It just came out and was a unit plot.
There was a little guy with a crew cut holding a jersey signed by the Manchester United visiting China team and planning to sell it to a fan named Gao Shan.
Who knew that Gao Shan was a real football fan, so he immediately identified the jersey as a fake. Not only did he beat up the boy, but he also took away all his money.
The next day, Xiaobao, who had a broken arm, met Xiaobao on the street. It turned out that the two were childhood friends. When he learned that his friend had been bullied, the loyal Xiaobao immediately said that he would help him get revenge.
Xiaobao's plan is to persuade the protagonist group to act together, but the team leader Zhao Ning refuses to provoke Gao Shan.
The reason is that Gao Shan is not a simple person. On the surface, he is the boss of a leather goods company, but in fact he makes a living by loan sharking. He has several subordinates who work ruthlessly.
The team has already had rules. For safety reasons, the team not only does not lie to honest people, but also avoids touching dangerous individuals.
After all, they are just liars, playing tricks on their brains. If someone catches them, the watermelon knife will shine, and it will be useless no matter how clever or quick-tongued they are.
However, the young and energetic Xiaobao was not afraid and wanted to avenge his good brother. He broke up with Zhao Ning on bad terms and decided to do it alone.
Xing Dongdong and Li Wei, who had already established a friendship, quietly came out to help, and the little BMW formulated an action plan.
Gao Shan is a die-hard football fan and is usually very keen on gambling. Xiaobao plans to find an opportunity to get close to the opponent and then claim that he has insider knowledge of the Chinese Super League bookmaker to lure him to place a bet.
Li Wei was responsible for creating a video website, editing and dubbing a completed football match into a live broadcast.
On the day of the operation, Xiaobao informed Gao Shan about the results of the football match in advance, and then Xing Dongdong secretly destroyed the signal of Gao Shan's TV set outside. Xiaobao was trying to find a way to get Gao Shan to log into Li Wei's website, and then take the money and leave.
This plan was obviously not very thorough, so Xiaobao naturally failed.
First, Gao Shan did not want to be fooled and was only willing to put up 200 yuan to test the waters. In order to gain trust, Xiaobao suggested that he should pay 10,000 yuan to count Gao Shan's 2,000 yuan in shares.
Then Xing Dongdong cut off Gaoshan's TV signal as planned. Gaoshan did not turn to look at the computer, but asked his younger brother to repair it. Fortunately, Xing Dongdong was quick to think and completely destroyed the signal, making it impossible to repair, so he escaped.
Later, Li Wei called and said that there was a loophole in the "live broadcast" video and asked Xiaobao to evacuate, but it was too late.
Gao Shan, who was very suspicious, vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he detained Xiao Bao and blackmailed Xiao Bao on the grounds that he had "invested" 2,000 shares.
At the critical moment, Zhao Ning made a phone call to calm Xiaobao, who was in a state of anxiety, and asked him to stabilize. Then he came in person to explain to Gao Shan as Xiaobao was online.
The Chinese Super League suddenly launched a severe crackdown, and all markets were temporarily stagnant, but it didn't matter, they still had markets in Southeast Asia and could transfer their money to the Malayan League.
Then Zhao Ning logged into a video website, clicked on a live broadcast of the Malayan League, and skillfully reported various information about the two teams in the field, handicap odds, etc.
Zhao Ning, who was full of confidence and strong aura, suppressed Gao Shan. Seeing that the result of the game was exactly as Zhao Ning said, Gao Shan couldn't hold back his greed and took out 100,000 yuan to entrust Zhao Ning to place a bet.
On the way back, Zhao Ning picked out the loopholes in Xiaobao's plan one by one and beat them.
For example, although the domestic leagues are not as popular as those of foreign giants, there are still live broadcasts on regular websites. It is extremely unlikely that Gao Shan would go to Li Wei's Caotai team to watch the games instead of going to the big websites.
Secondly, Xiaobao and others are pseudo-fans and don’t know much about some football news.
The main forward of the Chinese Super League team they had just been sent off in the last game should be suspended now. In the "live" video made by Li Wei, the forward even scored a goal.
Gao Shan is a die-hard football fan and pays close attention to all kinds of football news. If Xiaobao and the others do this, they are likely to hit the muzzle of the gun.
This is also the reason why Li Wei called urgently, otherwise if Xiaobao really wants to get Gao Shan to the "live broadcast" website, the secret will probably be exposed directly.
Previously, although Zhao Ning refused, he had been keeping an eye on Xiaobao's actions through Li Wei in private. Li Wei noticed something was wrong and immediately informed Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning responded and came to the rescue in time.
The so-called Malayan League is a "live" video that Li Wei put online urgently. In 2010, online sports information was still relatively backward, domestically and in Europe. Leagues in small countries like Southeast Asia were not understood by ordinary people at all.
As long as you remember the relevant information and deceive as much as you want, you can fish out the little treasure even if you don't fall into the trap.
………
This half-episode shows off its strong points before suppressing them, and the design is pretty good. When Gao Shan and Xiao Bao fall out, Wu Chuoxin almost bursts out when several of the younger brothers get together.
Fortunately, Zhao Ning arrived later and stabilized the situation with three attacks, five additions and two additions. After the review, people can feel the wisdom and caution of this team boss.
This experience also had a great stimulating effect on the male protagonist Xiaobao. It washed away a lot of impetuousness and youthfulness in him and made him awe of some things.
The first part of the original version may have wanted to create a relationship between Zhao Ning and Xiao Bao. Although it was only a superficial taste, it also buried a lot of hooks, and the relationship between the two was quite ambiguous.
Later, perhaps due to scheduling reasons, actor Zhao Ning quit the second film, and this emotional line also came to an abrupt end.
When Zuo Le was filming Shanhe's version of "Mao Liang", due to the script setting, Zhao Ning would be offline in the early stage, so this emotional line was directly removed.
Now, the relationship between Zhao Ning and Xiaobao is more like a master and apprentice, or Zhao Ning is the leader of the male protagonist Xiaobao.
After Xiaobao matures and can assume the leadership role of the team, Zhao Ning can leave.
Wu Chuo didn't know the future development of the plot. From the current stage, Zhao Ning is more like the first protagonist.
Almost half of the highlight scenes in the first three episodes are Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning is also the most critical role in the main plot of revenge that has emerged.
For example, the second half of the third episode mainly shows Zhao Ning starting to investigate the murderer who indirectly killed her father, and at the same time, it also fills in the gap of why she left.
It turns out that once, Zhao Ning saw a man beating a woman with a crying little girl next to him. He thought it was domestic violence and planned to teach the domestic violence man a lesson.
She stole the wallets and mobile phones of two gangsters, and then blamed the domestic violence man. When several people were arguing, the domestic violence man accidentally stabbed a gangster to death and was imprisoned.
Only later did Zhao Ning learn that she had wronged the domestic violence man. She was not his wife, but a human trafficker.
A single thought could mean a person's whole life and a life. From then on, Zhao Ning began to doubt whether the path he was taking was the right one.
She spent two years thinking, working, and silently taking care of and subsidizing the wife and daughter of the "domestic violence man" and the gangster's family to fill her inner guilt.
If she hadn't gotten clues about her father's revenge, she wouldn't have come out again this time. At the same time, she also figured out that after avenging her father, she would never cheat again, but return to life and be an ordinary person.
…………
This plot not only foreshadows Zhao Ning's subsequent departure, but also semi-cryptically criticizes the behavior of the protagonist group.
This is a unique detail in the Shanhe version of "Mao Liar". Many subsequent plots have similarly expressed this idea. The biggest role of this arrangement is for review.
Even if Zuo Le and Penguin Video are hiding everything, the show must show its attitude, otherwise it will be too inconsistent with mainstream values.
The original intention of the review department was to include a few protagonists in the group, or develop into police insiders. It took a lot of effort to withstand the pressure and not change the ending.
The above-mentioned plots are also one of the results of compromise, but Zuo Le is still quite satisfied.
He has always advocated that film and television dramas should promote positive energy and instill correct ideas and concepts in the audience when conditions permit.
This time "Mao Liang" is really exciting, and it is a pity not to film it, so he went against the original intention and made a side project. It would be great if he could make up for it a little bit.
Wu Chuo didn't know what was going on. He thought Zhao Ning's character was quite cool. He was a liar with a cold face and a warm heart.
Then comes the fourth episode, which was introduced before.
The main story is that Xiaobao wanted to designate a command for an operation, but Zhao Ning refused, so the two made a bet to determine whether they would win or lose.
Everyone does not bring money in the morning, and whoever comes back with more money in the evening will win. The main purpose is to show the strength of Zhao and Bao.
From this moment on, the audience also realized that except for a small highlight in the first episode, this out-of-the-box young man has been suppressed by Zhao Ning ever since.
In fact, he is a very powerful character. Even if Zhao Ning wants to defeat him, it will be very difficult.
This also paved the way for Xiaobao to rise to the top in the future, and it also served to train Xiaobao again. From then on, Xiaobao began to slowly show his brilliance as a male protagonist and grow up slowly.
At the same time, this was also the first time that the protagonist group had a confrontation with the foxes, and it ended with a small victory for the protagonist group. The second boss started to love talents and was ready to conquer the protagonist group.
In addition, there was a breakthrough in Zhao Ning's revenge plot. She accidentally discovered the traces of the murderer suspected of killing her father.
What's more important in the fourth episode is that the main plot of "Mao Liar" began to unfold, and the first clue appeared——
Duke Kaishen hid a batch of gold when he left the mainland. Legend has it that the clues to the gold's burial can be found in the diary of one of his Hakka concubines.
In the original version, it seemed to be just a random rumor, but it was later rounded up.
This is one of the reasons why the original version of "Mao Liar" is touted by countless people.
Everyone can dig holes, but filling them in one by one later, and the logic is completely correct, and the whole becomes a quite wonderful story. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Shanhe's version of "Mao Liang" didn't write much in this regard, but it still left a small note.
Audiences who are experienced in watching dramas will quickly understand that this plot is not designed for no reason.
Wu Chuo was one of the viewers who saw that there was a follow-up, but he also wanted to complain. In the past, various unofficial historical gossip often passed down some treasure secrets behind failed political powers.
For example, Wang Mang's secret treasure, Huang Chao's Treasury, Chen Youliang's treasure, Chuang Wang's treasure, etc. all say that after their defeat, they left a fortune of gold and silver and prepared to make a comeback. This is because it is logical, but many people believe it.
Until now, it is finally Duke Kaishen's turn...
But let’s not forget that because it involves famous figures from modern times, the plot is more attractive and it is quite exciting for the audience to watch.
Like Wu Chuo, he complained a lot, but he also murmured a little in his heart. Chiang Kai-shek collected so much gold back then, could it be possible that he really kept it secretly?
………
At this point, the fourth episode of "Mao Liar" has ended, but it left many pitfalls.
The Fox Organization plans to conquer the protagonist group, how should it act?
Can Zhao Ning find the person who killed his father?
Is the mystery of Duke Kaishen’s gold true or false?
Who will the protagonist group deceive in the next episode, and how?
Wu Chuo couldn't help but slap his hand, wondering why he couldn't keep calm. This time he fell into a trap again, and he would have to watch the drama every day.
Thinking of this, Wu Chuo turned his grievances to Penguin Video. Why couldn't he release the entire drama in one go?
Thinking back to the membership advertisement just now, Wu Chuo immediately contacted customer service and prepared to vent his anger.
I don’t know if there are too many users with similar questions. Wu Chuo sent the question and the customer service responded immediately.
[Hello, dear VIP member xxx, we are aware of your problem.
[According to the provisions of "...", the benefits of your VIP membership can exempt non-member advertisements in advance, but the advertisements you respond to belong to member advertisements, so they are not within the scope of VIP member advertisement exemption]
[If you don’t understand anything, you can check the terms of "...", Article 52 Barabara]
[If you want to avoid membership advertising, you can upgrade to super membership]
【……】
Looking at the lines of dialogue that popped up on the customer service page, Wu Chuo lay on his computer and read for a long time. What he saw between the lines were words such as "cannibalism", "leeks", and "krypton gold"...

ps: I wish you all a happy New Year again, there will be another chapter later, and I am asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket...
