February 10, 2027 is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and "The Qin Empire - Zongheng" will be broadcast on the prime channel of CCTV.
Countless viewers who have been looking forward to it for a year can’t wait to watch the show in front of the TV.
At the beginning of last year's first film "Fission", a battle of Shaoliang was needed as a foreshadowing to introduce the situation of Qin and introduce the two male protagonists.
But now that the second part of "Zong Heng" is here, it has the foundation of the previous film "Fission", so there is no need to go to so much trouble and we can go straight to the main course.
At the beginning of the plot, there is a narration introduction.
After Shang Yang's death, the old clans such as Qianlong and Du Zhi kept their strength and wanted to abolish the new law and restore the old system.
Facing the menacing old family, Ying Si did not act forcefully. Instead, he hid deep in the palace and lurked silently. At the same time, he promoted young ministers and generals such as Qili Ji, Ying Hua, and Sima Cuo, and slowly took control of the real power.
The three-year period has come.
Yingsi, who thought he had the ability to pacify the old clan, finally came out to preside over the state affairs. His first decision after coming out was to hold the throne of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Qin.
It turned out that as the Qin State became increasingly powerful, the old enemy King Wei Hui could not sit still, decided to form an alliance with the Qi State, and sent an envoy to invite Qin Gong to attend the ceremony.
Watching the ceremony is false, but shocking and testing Qin is true.
Yingsi understood what King Hui of Wei was thinking, so he wanted to follow suit and become the Prime Minister of the Three Kingdoms.
This move was so sudden that not only the Wei envoy was startled, but also Lao Qianlong and other senior family members could not stand it.
The Lord of Qin and the King of Qin are on completely different levels. If he succeeds in defeating Si Xiangwang, his prestige will be greatly enhanced, which will be harmful rather than beneficial to the old family.
Lao Qianlong disregarded his decency and stood up directly, strongly objecting with the statement that "the government of Qin was not stable, and the previous Qin kings had no intention of becoming king. To become king would be to rebel against the ancestors and cause great harm to the Qin State."
Regarding Lao Qianlong, the direct murderer of Shang Yang, Ying Si did not tolerate him at all and directly refuted him in front of the ministers.
"Although we, the Qin Dynasty, have lived in the west for generations, our ancestors have never had the intention of shrinking back to protect themselves. In the era of great strife, countries frequently attack each other. The strong will become stronger, and the weak will perish.
The alliance between Wei and Qi is intended to take a look at our great Qin. If Great Qin still sticks to its old territory, abides by the old system, and lives in seclusion, it is no different from just sitting back and waiting for death. Everyone, those few people will really harm the Qin State."
The rhetoric was very convincing, showing the domineering power of Qin Jun for the first time, and at the same time refuted the fallacies of Lao Qianlong.
Seeing that Qianlong had nothing to say, Ying Si made another heart-breaking remark.
"Earlier, I made a big show of the rules for making money. Someone asked me, Qin coins follow the system of Lord Shang, so whether Qin's laws also follow the rules of Lord Shang.
Today I tell you that the law of Lord Shang is not a law that cruelly punishes the people, but a law that enriches the country and strengthens the people. Qin will definitely abide by it."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Qianlong completely broke his guard.
They killed Shang Yang just to abolish the new law. Unexpectedly, Winning Si was a huge fan of Shang Yang. All the efforts of the old family were in vain.
From this moment on, Lao Qianlong finally realized that this new Qin Lord was not from the same group as them.
He wanted to make a big fuss in the court, but he saw many generals on the side, led by Qili Ji, Ying Hua, and Sima Cuo, staring covetously at the old family.
Lao Qianlong finally understood why Ying Si dared to fall out. He held military power, so naturally he would not be afraid of the old family making trouble.
Qianlong's face turned pale, and he walked away with a few confidants. However, the other old clansmen did not have the eyesight of old Qianlong, and they loudly criticized Shang Yang.
Yingsi looked at each other coldly, then Qiliji waved his hand, and several groups of guards came up to clear the place. Yingsi was furious when he saw this.
"They are all ministers of our country, how can we drag them out and carry them out?"
This scene in "The Great Qin Empire - Zongheng" can be described in two words, that is "Domineering Exposed".
In the first film "Fission", the role of Ying Si was not given much attention because the main perspective was on Shang Yang and Duke Xiao. He even seemed a bit useless because he failed to save Shang Yang.
Now, as soon as the second part of "Zong Heng" begins, the fledgling Ying Si starts a team with Lao Qianlong and directly captures a large number of old fans from the first part.
The sentence "Qin must obey the laws of Lord Shang" made countless fans of Shang Yang shed tears, saying that Lord Shang could rest in peace under the nine springs.
In just half an episode, Ying Si pulled the audience out of the first "Fission" and completely focused on the plot of "Zong Heng".
In addition to Ying Si's own role, what's more important is Fulong's stunning performance.
This second-level visual emperor is not that old, but his acting skills are not inferior to those of the seniors, especially his line skills, which are sonorous and powerful, and also have a special rendering power.
In just one court scene, Fulong gained countless fans.
………
Compared with the first "Fission", the Qin State is poor and weak, with many wastes waiting to be revitalized. In "Zong Heng", the Qin State is on the rise.
The environment is relatively less difficult, and the character of the protagonist Ying Si is more serious and simple than Xiao Gong, with a bit more domineering and unruly character.
The plot of "Zongheng" can be roughly divided into several parts.
In the first part, winning Si is to wipe out the old family, avenge Shang Yang, also eliminate internal troubles, and completely grasp the military and political power of the Qin State.
Ying Si borrowed the opportunity to go out to serve as the Prime Minister, and left the Qin State to seduce the old family members who had evil intentions and exposed their true colors.
Sure enough, after Qianlong realized that Ying Si and the Lao Shi clan were not on the same side and was quite hostile to the Lao Shi clan, he planned to take the initiative and seduce Yiqu to rebel.
This was what Ying Si had expected. The Lao Shi clan's conspiracy failed, Lao Qianlong committed suicide by taking poison, and the remaining key members of the Lao Shi clan were expelled and killed.
Shang Yang’s revenge was finally avenged!
The second part, the rise of Qin, Zhang Yi came to Qin.
After winning Si to quell the civil strife, Qin and Wei started the Hexi War again.
Yingsi ordered Gongsun Yan, a great talent invited by the Wei state, to be his commander, and the Qin state won a great victory. However, Gongsun Yan saw that his homeland was defeated by his own hands, and he wanted to leave Qin.
Before Gongsun Yan left, he recommended the famous scholar Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi entered the Qin Dynasty and came up with his own powerful strategy, and was worshiped as a guest minister by Ying Si.
After Zhang Yi served in the Qin Dynasty, he went as an envoy to the State of Wei and captured a large area of land for the State of Qin without using a single soldier. He was named the Prime Minister of the State of Qin.
Later, relying on Qin's army, Zhang Yi used his sharp tongue to criticize other countries and won countless benefits for Qin.
At the same time, Gongsun Yan also began to promote alliances among various countries, and the two of them fell in love and killed each other for most of their lives.
In the third part, Ying Si died and King Wu of Qin was born.
With the hard work of Yingsi, the help of Zhang Yi, Chuiliji, and Sima Cuo's civil and military officials, Qin became stronger and stronger.
However, as the age of Yingsi grew older, the battle for the direct descendants was inevitable in Qin.
The eldest son Ying Dang is brave but has a straightforward and reckless personality. In contrast, Ying Si prefers the smart younger son Ying Ji.
Ying Si swayed from side to side, leading to fights in the harem and within the clan. In desperation, he sent his beloved Mi Bazi and Ying Ji to Yan State as hostages, apparently to be expelled, but actually to seek refuge.
Her lover and young son left, and Ying Si, who was already in poor health, finally died on the bed.
King Wu of Qin came to the throne. He advocated the supremacy of force and was not too fond of Zhang Yi, so he appointed Gan Mao, who had the same political views as him.
Zhang Yi was heartbroken and had no choice but to leave Qin.
After that, Yingdang captured Yiyang and died holding the tripod. Before his death, he told Yingji to pass on the throne.
The fourth and final part.
Ying Ji came to power, but the throne was unstable. Ying Zhuang, who had been causing trouble, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, but was quelled by Wei Ran, Bai Qi and other emerging generals who supported Ying Ji. This is known as Ji Jun's Rebellion in history.
After the Ji Jun Rebellion, the second King of Qin in the Qin State, a master of idioms in the Warring States Period, and the great devil in Chinese history textbooks, Ying Ji, began his more than fifty years of rule.
It can be seen from the plot that compared to the first "Fission", the plot of "Zongheng" is more complicated.
"Fission" mainly focuses on the two countries Qin and Wei, with Qi playing a role. In "Zong Heng", Wei, Chu, Han, Yan and Zhou all have a lot of roles, and Zhao Qi also plays a lot.
The entire plot level expanded from a local part to the entire Warring States period.
There are so many national forces, and they span the two generations of King Huiwen of Qin and King Wu of Qin. The plot has to be prioritized and the rhythm arranged.
If it is not done properly, it can easily ruin the great situation of the entire "Qin Empire" series.
Fortunately, Zuo Le held his ground.
"The Qin Empire - Zongheng" has been unanimously loved and praised by the audience, and many viewers even think it is better than the first "Fission".
Ratings and word-of-mouth scores also prove this.
The ratings for the first broadcast broke 3, and within just ten days the ratings rushed to 4.1. By the thirty-fifth episode, the ratings officially broke 5, becoming the second national-level TV series in the "Qin Empire" series.
As of the finale of "Qin Empire - Zongheng", the average ratings of the whole drama reached 5.51, surpassing "Qin Empire - Fission", becoming the first in the series and the second in the Shanhe drama.
"Zongheng" overtook "Fission" in ratings, but the word-of-mouth ratings were the same, both at 9.3, ranking first in the "Qin Empire" series.
The ratings of the two films exceeded 5 and the ratings exceeded 9.
"The Great Qin Empire" has been held up to the altar, hailed as the pinnacle of domestic historical dramas in more than two decades.
If the next few works, "The Qin Empire" can still maintain this level, the eight achievements of "more than twenty years" can be removed, and it can directly reach the top of the Chinese dramas.
And Zuo Le, who single-handedly created these two national-level TV series, was even more praised.
The number one director of Chinese TV series, the king of sitcoms, the record holder of numerous Golden Phoenix Awards, the invincible devil...
Now it can all be cancelled. From now on, Zuo Le will be the well-deserved king of TV dramas in China.
Your left emperor is infinitely arrogant!
………
Just like last year, "The Great Qin Empire" broke the 5 mark in a row, and 99% of this year's "Best Director" went to Zuo Le.
The remaining 1% is to see if Kong Sheng's new TV series "Parental Love" can break 5.
If the ratings break 5, there will still be talk. If not, Kong Laoer will probably have to run with him again this year.
Unlike Zuo Le, who was almost pre-determined for Best Director, no one is sure who it will be for The Emperor.
Fulong's win is undoubtedly at the level of an emperor, and Yu Entai's Zhang Yi is even better.
The first highlight is the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Yi talks eloquently in the face of the scrutiny of the Qin monarchs and ministers, showing the demeanor of a famous political figure of a generation.
"Zhang Yi, a native of Wei, pays homage to Lord Qin."
"There is no need to be too polite. Sir, did you enter Qin for fame? For profit?"
"The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of gain, and all the temples and temples are crowded with people, all for the sake of fame. Zhang Yi comes for the sake of fame and fortune."
Then he spoke freely and discussed all over the country, which attracted the praise of Qin Jun.
In the later plot, he seizes the country with his tongue, seizes the land with his words, makes the princes fearful when he is angry, and makes the world peaceful when he lives in peace. This is Zhang Zi.
However, in the play, Zhang Yi is most praised for his ending scene.
Ying Si passed away, Ying Dang succeeded to the throne, Zhang Yi was not reused, and Zhang Yi's wife was killed by Ying Zhuang. The rabbit died and the dog was cooked. Frustrated, he decided to return to his hometown.
When it came, it was a single person, but when it left, it was just a shadow. It was destined to Qin, and the fate ended here.
After returning to her hometown, Zhang Yi saw her elderly mother off a few days later.
In the end, the gray-haired and down-and-out Zhang Yi met his lifelong rival Gongsun Yan. The two drank and reminisced, and eventually passed out on the bed drunk, feeling each other's feelings.
"Here's to Zhang Zi for his powerful sweep of Liuhe."
"Respect the rhinoceros and join forces to lock Hangu."
"Honor the age of great strife."
"Here's to the time for a drink."
When this scene was aired, it broke the news on major Internet platforms. In those days, these four sentences were all under various related comments.
Because of Zhang Yi's fate, King Wu of Qin became the most disliked monarch of the four generations of Qin who appeared starting from Duke Xiang of Qin.
The old age of a hero is always the most deeply missed and lamented.
"Zong Heng" can be slightly stronger than "Fission", which has a lot to do with the contrast between Ying Si and Zhang Yi from their peak to the end.
Although Qin Xiaogong also died without fulfilling his ambition, the regret is actually not that big. After Shang Yang adapted it, he died as a martyr and deserved his death.
In contrast, Zhang Yi died and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Before Ying Si died, his beloved wife and son were not around, and he had to be wary of conspirators such as Ying Zhuang. His journey was not peaceful, and even a bit desolate.
Shang Yang's popularity was so high in the beginning, which had a lot to do with his tragic death and the sympathy he received from the audience.
Now the same is true for Ying Si and Zhang Yi, which also aroused the sentimentality of the audience.
There are many fans of Yingsi, and there are also many supporters of Zhang Yi. The two actors, Fulong and Yu Entai, have also won the title of Shidi. There is no such thing as finding a balance.
Therefore, who of the two can be the king of TV has become a hot topic after the broadcast of "The Great Qin Empire", and they may be fighting from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
"The Qin Empire - Zongheng" has great advantages, and the two male protagonists also performed amazingly, so everyone is optimistic that the two of them can win the first prize.
As for the drama queen, although Mi Bazi, played by Yin Li, has been recognized by many viewers, and she is expected to be nominated for the drama queen, the chance of winning is hard to say.
In fact, this is understandable. The role of Mi Bazi is the first heroine in "Zong Heng" and the third film "The Rise". Spanning a timeline of several decades, the roles are naturally completely different.
In the drama "Zong Heng", Mi Bazi spent most of the time eating candy with Ying Si. It was not until he came to Yan State as a hostage in the later stage that he gradually showed his character's brilliance. However, this part of the scene was too few and the room for development was limited.
But "The Rise" is different. Mi Bazi is no longer the beloved concubine next to Ying Si, but the powerful Empress Dowager Xuan.
He was in charge behind the curtain, his son won the throne and fought for power, he seduced King Yiqu of the Qin Kingdom, and he raised a favored boy...
Most of the essence of this character can be found in "Rise" and "Zong Heng". The battle between the screen and the back is gratifying to win, but don't be discouraged if you lose.
Shortly after "The Qin Empire - Zongheng" was aired, the two popular TV series "Mi Hou Zhuan" and "Thinking of the Beauty" were also aired one after another. Because they were in the same period, many plots were similar.
So this Coca-Cola spoiled many video UP owners, who specially edited the comparison videos of the three works, which were well received...
