Comments from the daughter of a senior colonel
It seems that we need to constantly "reflect" on how popular legend of mir is. According to my observation, it has labeled at least a large part of military TV dramas, and it has become a sequel to legend of mir, regardless of the specific content. Its real name is squeezed by the huge word "romance in blood", waiting for the discovery of the discerning person. As we all know, I have bad eyes and a thick heart. This summer, when my boss recommended legend of mir II and legend of mir III to me in that small disc shop in Jiangdong Commercial Street in Kunming, I was surprised that this guy Dou Liang really made a blockbuster without saying a word, and made it scary. Why is his creative efficiency so high that his works have been adapted into film and television dramas one after another without rest? It was not until the end of the struggle with eight compact discs that my ears were all pressed by the "broken reminder" in the play that I realized that the origin of Pocahontas II was more than Pocahontas II. When Wang Shuo ordered the world to unify the rivers and lakes, Dou Liang didn't know which hill to sing wild songs on. When it comes to military career, Ye Jing's background and qualifications are unambiguous. Otherwise, how could he shock the Beijing film and television circle from the "place where the dream began"? He danced in muddy water and threw out a name casually, which he didn't like very much. In terms of qualifications, I'm afraid Dou Liang can't even stand up on a hill. Kick Ye Jing at the foot of the mountain, and then wait and see.
Unfortunately, China's bloodline era was abolished by Bobby Chen and Guangwu as early as two thousand years ago. "The prince would rather have seeds." In this battlefield of commodity economy, whoever is famous is the boss. What Wang Shuo laid has become a thing of the past. They abandoned the military for many years, and the market cannot wait forever. The market needs new selling points. So legend of mir was born and became another kind of "fame violence", which was favored by pirates. Not only did they dare to touch Days Related to Youth by Wang Shuo and Ye Jing, but now they also "bully" it. I have also seen Hand in Hand and Chinese Divorce before. I feel that this woman writer has a rhyme in her life, but she hasn't excavated enough. I thought she would get better and better, but she always went astray and fell off the chain halfway. The anticlimactic problem has never been overcome, which makes these two TV dramas that have repeatedly pushed her reputation up can only be called good dramas, which is a small but crucial step away from "quality products".
This weakness was finally overcome in the drama "The Daughter of Senior Three". The structure of the whole play is stable, and the development of characters' personalities is set from the beginning, and then gradually develops. Every life full of regrets and imperfections perfectly interprets a spirit, so that every regret in an imperfect life is made up in another way because of the personality strength of the characters in the play. Speaking of "main melody", this film is the best in "main melody". There is no numb rhetoric, and there is no disgusting simple preaching. Wang Hailing used four young people's "misplaced" emotional experiences and life trajectories to create a practical, patient, affectionate and regretless life belief. The flashing light of this belief shines on the protagonist groping in the black hole of fate, and also shines on us outside the screen.
"The power of a horse can be known from a distance, but it will be known for a long time." This is an old saying, but do we really understand it? After watching the play, I realized that it was far from it. The characters in the play, Han Lin and Wang Hailing's "self-projection" and her lifelong lover "Jiang Shi 'an", used their years of spiritual harmony to give me a necessary life lesson.
They met on a ship bound for a border island. Is a veteran of length of military service for two years, and Jiang is her new recruit. In the same boat, there is another recruit, pampered Zhang Yannan and enthusiastic and cheerful literary warrior Zhan Peng.
Four young people, pulled by the invisible rope of fate, influenced each other's lives, infiltrated each other and became friends and enemies. Many years later, when the fog and dust of the years have settled, as Julie sang, "Only the unchanging heart is deeply hidden in tears."
It's really appropriate for Li Yuan to play the role of Han Lin. This Jiangnan woman's face has both the gentleness and calmness inherent in southern women and the tenacity and generosity of northern women. Han Lin, a frustrated person who made every wrong step, is also a successful person who works hard every day and is full of ideals. Imagine her appearance, you must have a face like Ethan's, so that her character can at least stand up. As the daughter of a senior university, she has some background in the army. She never takes advantage of her father's power to take shortcuts, which is in sharp contrast with Zhang Yannan, the daughter of a general. However, she can't be called "a pure person, a person who is out of low taste", and her eyes are blinded by her sense of superiority, which is also a common mistake when people are young: although she doesn't laugh at Jiang Shi 'an, a rural soldier who didn't have a full meal before coming to the army, her stomach is like a bottomless pit, she even used the power of the monitor to help Jiang Shi 'an get a bowl of delicious soy sauce rice. In the fledgling "Seeds of Love", the girl's love object is always Zhan Peng, a star with a good family background, versatility, outstanding eloquence and striking attention in the military.
Young Han Lin works hard and longs for life, but the teenager doesn't know the taste of sadness, but plays on an island with a bad environment. She won unanimous praise from her superiors and soldiers, and everyone thought that she would have a bright future. Sure enough, a very rare place to go to a military doctor, after many discussions, finally fell into the hands of Han Lin, and her fate was about to undergo a major reversal. What's more, when she got up the courage to buy a notebook and wrote a farewell letter to Zhan Peng, who had a secret crush for a long time, she learned that the other party was going to Fudan University. How happy I am! Career and emotional prospects are bright.
But she's about to get hit. The course of life is harsh, and straining her bones and muscles is nothing. For a young heart without scars, it is a real head-on blow and it hurts deeply. She overestimated the selflessness of friendship and underestimated the selfishness of human nature. Almost instantly, she lost everything, and Zhang Yannan took everything from her. What stays is undoubtedly bitter, and what goes out is not necessarily bitter. Since then, Zhang Yannan, who is arrogant and willful, has been burdened with a heavy conscience and has no chance to be perfect and happy.
However, this was only the beginning, and then Han Lin suffered various setbacks, so I won't go into details here. Compromise and acceptance, hard work and struggle, Han Lin expressed her philosophy of life with her positive attitude of "golden mean": admit that life is like this, but don't tolerate life forever. Such a person is bound to make a difference. A well-known playwright in the military is not the success of Han Lin's life, but the minimum return of her tenacity and persistence by fate.
Han Lin's experience tells us that life is hard and life is warm.
What's more, Jiang Shi 'an, a poor and self-reliant rural baby, has gone through a more difficult road than ordinary people, from an ordinary soldier to a general in charge of one side. Guo Xiaodong to play this role always makes me feel hallucinated and trance. Jianqi Huo's film "Warm", Fang Fang's original work and Fu Huayang's directorial debut "Brilliant Peach Blossom" all have personality defects. His weakness ruined his future and his love. Some actors give their roles a strong personal style because of their distinctive personalities; Some actors are endowed with certain fixed characteristics because of their roles, which restricts the audience's real understanding of him. Guo Xiaodong undoubtedly belongs to the latter actor. When I saw this soldier named Jiang Shi 'an coming out, I saw the image of the goddess in the splendid peach blossom. The two characters are really similar in many ways, at least at the beginning: both are poor, capable and talented young people; Desire to change fate; There is nothing to rely on except your own efforts; Everyone will fall in love with a girl, whose stars in the sky generally do not belong to their own world; Because of the obstruction of objective factors, they can't get what they want and will be shocked for life.
Jiang Shi 'an and Ke are so different. After watching the whole play, I even feel that the role exists to make up for Ke's regret, although there can be no connection between them. A poor and hateful unfortunate man who covered up his weakness with arrogance, rebelled with inferiority, and paid homage to his true love with repentance, was reborn under the reinterpretation of Guo Xiaodong, and became a strong Jiang Shi 'an who was humble in power, never gave up his love, sincere in his career, kept his promise to his family and shouldered the burden of arranged marriage. This is really a wonderful "transformation" process. The regret left by one character is made up by another, and the ambiguous face of actor Guo Xiaodong becomes clearer and clearer, becoming a real existence. Only then did I understand that prosaic may be his greatest "feature" and his advantage. He doesn't bring personal elements into the role, and the role presents a natural "trend", which is vague and clear; When you should doubt, you should be firm. For actors, this is called "plasticity"
Jiang Shi 'an's love for Han Lin is as passionate as his love for Xing Zi. The gap facing love is equally insurmountable. Jiang Shi 'an may be even worse. This island is unrequited unrequited love. There are opinionated fathers and hard-working fiancee in my hometown. It's not that he didn't try hard, for that little hope; However, he chickened out and gave in. Jiang Shi 'an's compromise is different from his compromise. He even assumed the responsibility of compromise. In his world, love can only occupy a small position after all, not that he is unwilling to pay, but that he can't help himself. It is not easy for a rural child from a poor family to receive education. He is burdened with too many expectations and responsibilities. He realized very early that he could not and could not live only for himself. So he chose to "give up", give up the pursuit of love results, and stick to the watch of love itself.
This is a special couple. Strictly speaking, they can't be called lovers at all, but they are closer than all lovers in the world. Needless to say, Jiang Shi 'an paid close attention to Han Lin from beginning to end, came to her side at every moment when she needed support, maintained his loyalty to his family with almost holy patience, and at the same time maintained his love for love, thus obtaining the qualification of having his own secret corner. From initial ignorance to final understanding, it took a woman almost half her life to understand what she should love, what she has always loved, and the value of this love. Is it stupid? But Han Lin is such a woman. She may never grow up without years, delays in love and disappointments in marriage. As long as vanity does not fade, Jiang Shi 'an's insignificant and ubiquitous love will not be "seen" by her, and only Lin Han who sees this love can truly deserve Jiang Shi 'an's love, and everything missed in the years can be compensated. When she is at a low tide again, holding the newspaper clippings about her collected and preserved by Jiang for many years, who can say that she is not a happy woman, and who can be happier than her!
Jiang Shi 'an's experience tells us that life is harsh and worth persisting in.
In contrast, the experiences of two other young people in the play, Zhang Yannan and Zhan Peng, probably illustrate another kind of life, a life of losing ground in selfish self-abandonment.
Like most girls, Zhang Yannan is exquisite but kind. Arrogant but enthusiastic. The good side of her personality makes her lovely, the bad side makes her hateful, and the inability to control the bad side makes her miserable. Perhaps it is because Lin Han is too kind and generous, which has aroused her malice. It is not often in life that someone can't tolerate the so-called perfect existence to make themselves look uglier, and will not hesitate to destroy it! Zhang Yannan is obviously a child spoiled by life. She doesn't feel guilty about destroying things, but she will find out later. Han Lin's friendship with her for many years is not so much Han Lin's tolerance as her importunities. They have never been the kind of people who lack the temperament foundation to produce sincere friendship. The narrow external environment has created their friendship, and their friendship is maintained by the inextricable ties of fate. A little deeper, if you want to ask the nature of this friendship, this name is probably the only one. Zhang Yannan easily took what originally belonged to Lin Han and gave it up easily. Whether she is a doctor or her husband, Zhan, she always gets the best look, but she doesn't know how to cherish it. After all, she is naturally cool and thin. Even if she can't hold it firmly in her hand, she can always catch something else. Her hands will not be empty, but from the beginning, her heart will be a little empty.
Zhang Yannan's experience tells us that life is harsh and full of irony.
In a sense, Zhan Peng was born in a good family. Without the strict coercion of the environment, his inherent weakness lost his only chance of redemption. In good times, he is charming and arrogant. Once the environment becomes worse, he is ashamed and blames others, drifting from one woman to another, and he always uses the woman's departure to "defend" himself. Alcohol, women and talking career are all his shields to escape from the unbearable real life, gentle countryside and daydreaming. He is such a pile of mud corroded by good times that he can't help the wall! Zhang Yannan's abandonment of her husband and son is an excuse for his decadence, and so is Han Lin's tolerance and understanding. Is it always easy for such a boy who has never grown up mentally to inspire women's motherhood and regard himself as the only one who can save him? Such a man never lacks women, but he just can't keep them. Zhan Peng, who goes with the flow and talks a lot, therefore becomes the contrast between tree silence and Jiang Shi 'an. Without the difficult marriage with Zhan Peng, Han Lin may never realize the value of Jiang Shi 'an, a poor and unpretentious man. Zhan Peng, a down-and-out man who has experienced countless infidelities, three marriages, two children and middle age, has achieved nothing and his family background has been squandered. Seeing that Jiang, a bumpkin who was once looked down upon by himself, became the youngest divisional cadre in the army, I had mixed feelings in my heart. If life could be repeated, would he be less frivolous, less spontaneous and less self-righteous?
Zhan Peng's experience tells us that life is harsh, and if you give up early, life will be even harsher.
In addition to the main line of love and marriage of four young people, there are other branches in the whole drama:
Jiang Shi 'an's simple and loyal wife is obviously not suitable for Jiang Shi 'an. Doesn't mean you need to deny it. Wang Hailing is "smart", neither blindly praising the hard work of rural women nor blindly belittling their ignorance. This is a respectable woman who shoulders the livelihood of the whole family. This is also a sad woman who has never had an intersection with her husband's world. The success or failure of marriage depends on "responsibility" and has never been happy.
Jiang Shi 'an's comrades-in-arms, military school students, they have the same great prospects and high spirits, and their comrades-in-arms are even better than him. But the final result proves that the fastest horse is not necessarily the first to reach the finish line. Jiang Shi 'an finally won because of his indomitable personality strength, and his comrades-in-arms "lost" convincingly.
Xiaomei, a comrade-in-arms of Han Lin and Zhang Yannan, is a kind, naive and beautiful rural girl. She never knew that her destiny could be in her own hands. In the army, she listened to Han Lin and Zhang Yannan. After she retired and got married, she listened to her husband. When her marriage was in trouble, she had to turn to Han Lin for help. Fortunately, life taught her to think, choose, fight and finally compromise, so she waited until the marriage dilemma suddenly became clear.
Zhan Peng's sister Cheng Peng represents the best youth. She is so eager for her brother and Han Lin's second marriage to be happy and give her a warm new home. She is eager to achieve success in writing and become a successful woman like Han Lin. What I saw and heard on the way to Tibet washed her body and mind, and finally took her soul away. Cheng Peng's poem "There is only one in the graveyard" has appeared many times in the play, which is not a good poem from the perspective of pure poetry. Emotionally, it looks like a prophecy, but fate is obvious, and life is too hasty, because this poem can go on.
Their experience tells us that life is harsh, and the process of life must be patient-you get what you decide.
Perhaps because of "Autobiography", Wang Hailing's perception of real life has laid a solid and credible life foundation for a daughter who went to a senior college, and the excellent performances of the actors have enriched the outline of the whole play. The composition of the play is calm, solid and heavy, just like life itself; At the same time, it is light, warm and broad, like a spiritual light flying above life.
At the beginning of the new year, it is perfect to watch such a "main melody" work. Why does the same life lead to a different look? How can love last, and how can ideals persist? How to treat the deprivation of life and the ridicule of fate? These over-ambitious speculations have been lingering in our minds, and we have no time to think. The Daughter of the University for the Aged is a thought-provoking story, with 20 episodes and four protagonists' life experiences, giving a perfect answer.
