Evaluation of "The Mansion Gate Part 2": The response of the second part was mediocre against the background of the first part. In fact, the second part can also be called it without comparing it with the first part. For a classic. This drama, which spans a hundred years, can be regarded as a work of conscience in terms of the cast, the incisiveness of the lines, and even the soundtrack.

The second part, as its sequel, tells the story of the Bai family's ups and downs from the Anti-Japanese War to the liberation, which makes people sigh. But it is inevitable that there will be some criticisms. For example, many people will complain about the details of the second part, especially some of its confusing shots. They think that these shots ruin the tone of the entire drama and drag down the style of the entire drama. If it's lower, it doesn't look so stunning.

About the sequel

Guo Baochang corrected a statement as soon as he came up, that is, the broadcast this time is the 41st episode of "The Mansion Gate" Episode 72, not a sequel. Guo Baochang said that the reason why he cares so much is because the trend of sequels in film and television dramas is too common, so when talking about sequels, it always feels like a continuation of the story. "I wrote "The Mansion Gate" for the complete 100 episodes. The contents are all based on my own personal experience and reflections.

The seventh master Bai Jingqi who runs through the whole drama is a veritable old man of the century. He is 100 years old in the 100th episode. It is hard to say whether Chen Baoguo will still play the role. After all, the age gap is too big. "Guo Baochang said that because it was written from personal experience, there cannot be a prequel to "The Mansion Gate" because it is earlier than that. I have never experienced anything.
