The main theme is to educate the people. It propagandizes and instills the idea that people are not the purpose, but the ideal or belief is the purpose. For lofty ideals or beliefs, people should be brave in sacrifice and not afraid of suffering, even if they shed blood. So, what kind of ideal or belief is noble? Of course, for the people, for the collective, for the individual, for yourself, that is selfish and should be spurned. By the way, what is for the people, for the collective? Don't ask more about this, the power of interpretation lies in the "organization". The organization is very advanced, and everything has been clarified. All that's left is obedience. Party spirit is above everything else, that's what I mean. It must be emphasized that this "higher" "everything" also includes human nature.
"Latency" is written completely according to the formula of the main theme, and tells how a person has gone from having no faith to having faith, and then to giving everything for faith and becoming a real unsung hero. Sun (played by Yu Zecheng) was originally a special agent of the Kuomintang, but because he monitored the secret activities of our party, he gradually got red thoughts. But this progress is limited after all, and the most obvious gap lies in his lack of faith. His fiancee Zuo Lan is an underground party member. Once I had a heart-to-heart talk, I mentioned the difference of political beliefs and said, what political beliefs? I believe in conscience, life and you. This is cynicism, Xiao Zi. It is so boring. Zuo Lan was disappointed. She is like a CCTV hostess who took the curtain call. She expressed disappointment with affectionate eyes, pursed her lips to express regret, and then resolutely left. A marriage broke up because of faith. Sun was hit by lovelorn love, and his values gradually collapsed. Finally, I was assassinated by the producer of * * * and saved. In order to repay his kindness, he immediately defected to the Kuomintang. However, our party knows that he lacks faith. "He is, after all, for a woman to take refuge in our party", so we arranged for him to receive re-education and gave him "some normative guidance in thought". This play is very important. It tells the theme of the whole play through the mouth of a leader, which is the "main theme" that this kind of work should carry forward. The leader's words can be summed up in two words-"faith". He told Sun to obey the organization, be disciplined and listen to the leader, but faith is the most important thing, because "most of the time, your leader is your personal belief". He also said that in order to believe, you can do whatever it takes, even "when necessary, you can do some bad things." The leader told Sun, "Remember, everything can be flexible under special circumstances, but the belief must not be changed".
It's easy after you have faith. If the goal is just, so is the means. In the next story, Sun went into battle lightly, without any ideological burden, lurking in the wind and invincible. The enemy, agents of the Kuomintang, agents of the people and agents of the Party are stupid enough not to take them to special schools because they lack great, glorious and correct beliefs. When a bug is fixed, you have to arrange an accountant to be Sun's neighbor. He pokes around every day, hiding outside the door during the day and eavesdropping on the ceiling at night. The most embarrassing thing is that he even took a small notebook to take notes, because he always couldn't hear clearly, so he drew ellipsis on it. To tell the truth, my intelligence is not much higher, but fortunately, one mountain is still low. For example, Zuo Lan has always insisted on real-name registration system. He first worked as a member of the underground party newspaper in Chongqing, and at the same time published articles in the red newspaper, all using his real name. It stands to reason that such a person has long been exposed. If he was not killed by the Secret Service, he should also be closely supervised and controlled. But she relaxed under the eyes of the enemy. First she fell in love with Sun, then she went to Sulian through Yan 'an, and suddenly she became the representative of the Eighth Route Army. Sun and such a famous "female G bandit" talked about love, and should be investigated internally, at least not reused. But obviously, the country, the people and party member just lack a string in their heads. They were just asking around, and Sun was just dealing with it. Everyone was taken in.
Watching the whole play, my feelings are completely different from those of female editors. She believes that this drama highlights the importance of "strategy" and emphasizes "fighting wisdom" rather than "fighting courage", which is divorced from the previous main theme. But in my opinion, the plot design of the so-called "strategy" is very rough and there are many refutations. It is not so much a battle of wits as a battle of stupidity. Sun's success depends entirely on his opponent's mental retardation. For example, he destroyed Captain Marquez, but only induced him to meet Zuo Lan privately and have a few cups of tea. The military leaders immediately thought that Captain Marquez was a spy of the * * * Party. Moreover, he himself had been in love and kissed Zuo Lan, but no one believed that he was a real undercover. There are too many illogical places. I even think that the reason why this TV series is popular is precisely because it is "anti-intellectual". You know, most of the audience sitting in front of the TV watching domestic dramas are not smart. People who are not smart are always willing to see that fools are blessed with stupidity and can succeed with low IQ. Wei Xiaobao in Duke of Lushan is also an "anti-intellectual". He doesn't know martial arts and can't read. However, he can eat all the black and white, the road is smooth, and he enjoys all the splendor in the world. But there are still some cleverness, and Sun doesn't even have this. He has a wooden mouth and a wooden face, and looks like a doormat. This kind of man can be seen everywhere in life. He can't be mediocre, but he has made a fortune. Wei Xiaobao relied on "luck" and he relied on "courage". Single-handedly, he rashly assassinated traitors and gained Dai Li's appreciation. Later, the organization asked him to quit, but he wanted to stay and cheat. He went his own way and got his wish. He has a famous saying that directly expresses this kind of values. He said: "I am not afraid of cruelty, I am afraid of failure." And his bravery has paid off, and his opponent is always a little more stupid than himself. He also became a behind-the-scenes player with this, playing with everyone around him. The people he teased were full of gratitude to him. They called him a brother or regarded him as a confidant. And what he does is to pick out the activities, that is, not to be found and not to be punished. His ending was also very good, and he followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan Province Province at the crucial moment, thus avoiding the bloodshed in the mainland after liberation.
Wearing a mask to be a man, step by step, this is a portrayal of the real life of China people. As long as you are brave enough, mediocre people can fight all over the world. This is the secret wish of many people in China. In the TV series, Sun realized his dream for them, so he suddenly became angry. However, this is only for male audiences. Women in China have no strong desire for success. Although they also agree with "anti-intelligence", it is somewhere else. Yes, men are always worried about their careers, and women are always eager for love. In fact, Latent can capture the hearts of countless female audiences, and because it is a romantic drama, it can be compared with Qiong Yao's drama in many places. Sun Wei betrayed the party and the country and sacrificed himself for Sun Wei, which is the power of love. Sebrina (Ping Cui) is a Cinderella. She comes from the countryside. Although rude, she is very kind, loves the nation and hates money. She is also very pure, a virgin, and often sees livestock mating, but she is disgusted with sexual topics. Sun, a city resident, dislikes her and finds her rustic. Her attitude is full of arrogance and prejudice. At first, she didn't like each other, but after contacting him, she found that he worked hard and was a potential stock. When he convinces himself with reason, his feelings are gained. But Sun's temperature rises slowly (all good men do this), and women come to grab it from time to time (all potential stocks do this), so it's very difficult to live in it. However, many things happen. Finally, one day, her diligence, simplicity and purity played a role, and Sun's last line of defense was broken. Then, this love reached its climax and became a new version of A Letter from an Unknown Woman. After the one-night stand, the man left. Women are pregnant, give birth to children, and raise them independently, but they always have no regrets, and their faces are full of satisfaction and happiness.
Barbara Cartland, the queen of English romance novels, said that in order to be popular with readers, the heroine's chastity must be preserved. She wrote more than 700 romance novels in her life. The heroines are all virgins. Until the last few pages of each story, the hero and heroine will not have sex until they get married. With this rule, her novels are very popular, with a total sales volume of one billion. In fact, this is also the secret of all popular romantic works: if you can't stop the hero and heroine from having sex, try to delay it. Because women, as animals, prefer foreplay to sex itself, they always call those long foreplays love. Latency also strictly abides by this iron law. In the 30-episode TV series, from the fifth episode, the hero and heroine slept in the same room, but they just clung to it and never missed their guns. The audience's heart has been hanging, and they really want to know when they can succeed. Time flies, until the 27th episode, they finally decided on ML. However, at the end of the day, they made a last-minute effort to postpone, put on big red flowers, worshipped the heaven and the earth, muttered in front of their ancestral tablets, and declared that marriage was functional, and only for the sake of carrying on the family line or the country's righteousness did they drag their feet to build the house. And this time became their only time. Compared with the lengthy foreplay, ML is really fleeting, as if it never happened. Of course, this also laid the groundwork for shooting a sequel. Since the hero and heroine seem to have never had a real ML, there is an obvious reason for the audience to stay in front of the TV: guess how many roads the hero and heroine have to walk, how many mountains they have to climb and how long they have to walk.
Generally speaking, the difficulty of romantic drama lies in how to convince male audience. Love without sexual intercourse is romantic for women, but absurd for men. So romantic dramas that are too pure will never attract male audiences. However, lurking solved this problem well: Sun was a revolutionary, and abstinence was his first duty. In one scene, the military representative of the Eighth Route Army directly revealed: "The love of revolutionaries is particularly romantic!" Why is the revolutionary's love so romantic? Because revolution means sacrifice and abandoning all vulgar greed, including survival desire, material desire and even sexual desire. We can say that the revolution itself is asceticism. The more revolutionary, the more abstinent, the purer and the more romantic. Because Sun received a red education and had selfless beliefs, "abstinence" was simply a part of his body. There is a French film Fangfang, in order to create asexual romance, the hero and heroine live together, separated by a glass wall, which can be seen but not eaten. But Sun doesn't even use the glass wall. They sleep in the same room. How can Sebrina take off his clothes and walk around in a Chinese bra? Even though his words were provocative, he even hugged each other. He has a quiet heart and won't curse. Sebrina is fine, too. She is also a revolutionary. Her strong abstinence is mainly reflected in material interests. When she saw gold bars, jewels and dollars, she was very angry and had the impulse to destroy them. It was not until Sun Honglei told her that these dirty things could be exchanged for guns and weapons of destruction that she smiled and forgave them. In the face of sexual desire, compared with Sun, his restraint ability is weak. After all, she is a lesbian, and the level of Marxism-Leninism is a little poor. Fortunately, she found a way. Every time she moves, she will ask herself whether the organization allows it or not. Do you need the consent of the leader? Over time, "organization" became the magic weapon of her abstinence, so that when her chastity was broken by Sun, the first sentence she said was not "pain", but "sleeping without reporting". Do you think this is a mistake? "However, abstinence is not equal to impotence, otherwise such love is not romantic. After all, Sun's small universe broke out under the strong light of faith and the bondage of moral conscience, and he finally had a very strong reaction to rural girls. Sebrina didn't tease her this time, but he had an irresistible passion for her. Sun Honglei's eyes are shining and his heart is pounding, because he has made an amazing discovery: Chen Yao can masturbate! Moreover, she is also a dead shot, and one bullet can destroy an enemy. This is really the crowning touch of the whole drama, and I am afraid it is also the most memorable fragment of all romantic dramas. A man falls in love with a woman because she can masturbate. And revolutionaries can abandon all temptations, but they can't resist masturbation. I think, I'm afraid there is no better plot design than this. His wife is too clever. I even want to sum up a truth and give it to all women who pursue romance: if a man acts as pure as a revolutionary, he must love masturbation very much.
