Chapter 225 Shen Hao's Incisive Analysis

With the broadcast of the two dramas "The Disguiser" and "Borrowing a Gun", it was fully demonstrated what it meant to "start low and end high" and what it meant to "start high and end low".

The ratings of "Borrowing a Gun" have been dropping drastically in recent times. This is partly because the plot of "The Disguiser" has become increasingly exciting, but more importantly, it is due to problems with the script of "Borrowing a Gun" itself.

A netizen posted his comments on the drama "Borrowed Guns" online:
Zhang Jiayi's acting skills are unquestionable, but the plot is too fake and shoddy.

1. Luo Cheng failed in his assassination attempt and was shot dead on the spot. Was the pistol sent back by the Japanese himself?
2. Creating opportunities for assassination through public opinion shows that the screenwriter has a very creative mind.

3. Nakamura’s death is even more outrageous.

4. It is really laughable that a Japanese spy who has received professional spy training would be discovered while following a seven-year-old girl.

5. The Japanese-occupied areas and concessions talked about GCism and anti-Japanese resistance. Is this underground work? This is like rubbing our heads against the ground.

……

It can only be said that the so-called carefully crafted spy drama by Long Yi and Fu Wei hurt the heart of this audience, who made the final comment: "Borrowing a Gun" is full of loopholes and is purely a garbage drama.

"I'm not following this anymore. I'm going to watch Insidious. It has the same original author, but the screenwriter is so different!"

It's all over. Fu Wei, who had been clamoring on the Internet that Shen Lang's changes to the play were irrelevant, has gone into silent mode just like a radio station in the Japanese-occupied area.

Long Yi is still trying to hold on, posting on Weibo saying things like "some so-called audiences have ulterior motives, and the characters in the play all have historical prototypes" and so on.

However, the newspapers in the Japanese-occupied area in your drama dared to openly support the anti-Japanese war and insult the Japanese army. Is this still the Japanese-occupied area?
The audience is not stupid. Can you please draft your bragging next time?

On the other hand, the ratings of "Lost" have been rising steadily. Not only because Jiang Wei revised the script well, the actual shooting scenes only had four or five rooms in total, and there were very few outdoor scenes.

But they spend little money to accomplish big things, the script has a compact plot, the story is not exaggerated or sensational, and with Shen Lang's set of workplace literature added in, it just fits this small scene of open and secret struggles.

It can be said that Shen Lang really added the icing on the cake to this drama.

"Emei Peak, and a fucking solo photo, quite romantic!"

At this point in the drama, everyone started to sneer at the slander against Long Yi and his ilk.

Shen Lang is adding drama to himself?
Please give the audience more clips of this kind of extra scenes.

In other spy war dramas, those actors all play station masters.

But Shen Lang’s mother is the webmaster.

Wu Jingzhong, played by Shen Lang, is the smartest egoist in the whole play.

Experienced and cunning, far-sighted, self-protective, and rarely confused.

Some conspiracy theorists say that the webmaster is from China. Is it really as everyone guesses?

The two sides argued endlessly online.

Those who say the stationmaster is a senior underground worker of the Communist Party of China give an example: "In the end, only the stationmaster and Yu Zecheng are left. How could the stationmaster not know that Yu Zecheng is a spy? If it's not Yu Zecheng, could it be the stationmaster himself?"

But more professional film critics emerged.

This time it was Shen Lang's uncle who took action personally.

"I feel like the stationmaster of this drama is definitely not one of ours."

"In episode 24, when Yu Zecheng caught Li Ya's handle, the stationmaster was procrastinating and was hesitant to stop him. There was a line in the TV series at that time..."

"Wu Jingzhong is very clear about the mystery. He is trying to buy time for Yu Zecheng. If Yu Zecheng succeeds in getting a confession, he will come forward to settle the matter peacefully. In that case, Li Ya will be firmly in his hands. He is actually willing to see this kind of fight between his two subordinates."

"Lu Qiaoshan has seen through this aspect a long time ago:"

"The stationmaster is high and mighty, using the position of deputy stationmaster to lure everyone to perform hard." "Lu Qiaoshan and Ma Kui both failed, and Yu Zecheng became the deputy stationmaster."

"The reason is simple. As soon as Yu Zecheng arrived, the stationmaster told him:"

"Everyone here is from Chongqing. Some of them have complicated backgrounds. I don't know you well either - you are mine!"

"From here we can see that the screenwriter actually laid the groundwork long ago!"

"No matter how hard Li Ya tries, he can't defeat Yu Zecheng's Jade Throne Golden Buddha and Stud Punk."

At this point in the article, my uncle turned to talk about the deeper aspects of the character design in the script.

"Stationmaster Wu, do you really have no temper? Is he just greedy for money? Yes and no..."

"Everyone always cares about something. Looking at what he cares about reveals his soft spot in his heart!"

"Emei Peak, and a fucking solo photo, quite romantic!"

"This sentence seems to be mocking Ma Kui, but it has a different meaning."

"The morning glow reflects the rising sun, Buddhist bells accompany the breeze, the snow-capped mountains are cold for eternity, and only the Emei Peak is illuminated! This was written by Chiang Kai-shek, and it is impossible for Stationmaster Wu not to know it."

"So he seems to be mocking Ma Kui, but he is also mocking Chiang Kai-shek. And he's taking a fucking solo photo? Quite romantic!"

"But is he just mocking Chiang Kai-shek? I'm afraid not."

"Zecheng, what are the gains and losses of Tianjin Station? Are they due to a few sneaky officers? Are they due to a few sneaky spies? It's a joke. So many heavily guarded big cities were lost, so many reorganized armies with outstanding military achievements were lost, what's the reason? We are still here searching for intelligence, catching traitors, investigating gangs, trying to keep the great fortress of Tianjin. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"I think Shen Lang's best line in this play is about to appear."

"Yu Zecheng smiled and said, Station Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Wu Jingzhong said: I want to make mistakes, I want to be fired. If I continue to lie like this, I am just lying to myself!"

"Yu: Tell me, what should we do?"

"Live, live! Find a quiet place to live with Cuiping. There is no hope in Tianjin, and there is no hope in Jiangbei!"

"I have studied these eight words 'Gather your will and protect your leader' for fifteen years. The result is that if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

A long article with thousands of words.

After this article was released on Weibo, various professionals and non-professionals liked, paid attention to and forwarded it, and soon Uncle Shen Hao gained a lot of fans.

Dabo originally had only more than 7 followers on Weibo, but after this article, the number of followers skyrocketed to +.

"Mr. Shen's evaluation of Wu Jingzhong is the most pertinent!"

“Although I haven’t watched Insidious yet, after reading this review, I decided to watch it again!”

"I heard that Mr. Shen is Shen Lang's uncle. Does this article sound like a gimmick?"

"Haha, the person above, if you haven't watched "The Hidden Danger", I really suggest you go and watch it. This spy drama is definitely unprecedented, even if it can't be said to be unrivaled. Except for Stationmaster Wu played by Shen Lang, every other character is very vivid! It's really good!"

……

Even under Shen Hao's article, Cheng Guoqiang, who had said in a previous media interview that he was not familiar with Shen Lang and would not comment on the play "The Hidden" wrote in the comment section: "After reading Mr. Shen's article, I really went to watch "The Hidden". Throughout the play, the lines of the character Wu Jingzhong were so good that I even took a notebook to write them down!"

"Mr. Shen's articles and Shen Lang's acting skills have made me interested in spy war dramas. I will study this drama after I finish filming it!"
