To say that the most popular anti-corruption drama in recent years undoubtedly belongs to the "Name of the People" broadcast in 2017, and even now, many viewers still have endless topics when mentioning the roles of Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin, Li Dakang, and Hou Liangping. But you must also find such a phenomenon, anti-corruption dramas in today's TV drama field, the proportion is very small, all of which will appear in this situation, in my opinion, mainly because of policies and scales. In fact, as early as one or two decades ago, there were many anti-corruption dramas in our country, such as "Heaven and Earth Grain Man", "My Lord's Ups and Downs", "Sin Domain", "High Latitude Trembling", etc., which made us look like crazy. And the "Year of the Dragon Archives" that Xiaobian wants to talk to you about today is also an excellent representative of it.
The Year of the Dragon Archives is a television series directed by Geng Geng and aired in 2003. The first leading actor in the play is Zhang Fengyi, who played the provincial party secretary Sha Ruijin in "The Name of the People". In addition, the powerful actors we know as Ge Zhijun, Wang Jing, Pan Yuchen, Tan Xihe and so on also play an important role in the play.
In terms of the plot of the play, it mainly tells the story of the new mayor of Tianzhou City, Luo Became the people for the welfare of the people, and fought with the secretary of the municipal party committee, Long Fuhai and others.
The editor only came into contact with the work "The Year of the Dragon Archives" a few years ago, and after watching it, I couldn't help but marvel: the scale and quality of the play really did not lose "The Name of the People" at all. The depiction of various corrupt phenomena and the reflection of the suffering of the people in the play, I even doubt that if this drama is placed today, it can still be broadcast smoothly.
"The Archives of the Year of the Dragon" vividly depicts for us a group portrait of the officialdom: the reporter encountered a black gun, the cadre went to work to play cards, the brother of the chief of the office was suspected of committing a crime, and the life of the masses was regarded as a grass for the sake of development.
Every actor in the play basically gave us textbook acting skills. The first to bear the brunt is Luo Cheng, the mayor of Tianzhou City, played by Zhang Fengyi. It is reasonable to say that a positive character like Luo Cheng is easy to face the character, but Zhang Fengyi dispels the concerns of the character with excellent acting skills. Luo Cheng, played by him, has flesh and blood, and is full of righteousness, which makes people feel that only such a mayor can openly confront the secretary at the meeting.
It is said that when the author Ke Yunlu wrote the novel, the image of Zhang Fengyi appeared in his mind from time to time, and later he simply tailored it for him. After reading the script, Zhang Fengyi also immediately decided to star. In order to play the role of Luo Cheng, Zhang Fengyi insisted on running 4,000 meters every day, which shows how much effort he has made for this work.
In a sense, Long Fuhai, the secretary of the municipal party committee played by the old drama bone Ge Zhijun, is actually more brilliant than Zhang Fengyi's Luo Cheng. For Luo Cheng's arrival, Long Fuhai was like a man on his back, and it was not pleasing to the eye. In order to oppose Luo Cheng, he even took advantage of the entangled relationships to form a huge anti-Luo alliance. These wonderful plots, played by Ge Zhijun, have become extremely three-dimensional and vivid, which makes people want to watch it.
Wang Jing, a national first-class actor, played the role of Ma Lifeng, the director of the office, as Long Fuhai's confidant, Ma Lifeng not only contradicted Luo Cheng everywhere, but also suspected of helping his two younger brothers commit crimes, and finally got the ending they deserved. Ma Lifeng, played by Wang Jing, not only loses the smooth and capable work of the office director, but also grasps the psychology of corrupt elements with extreme precision, and can be said to be one of the most impressive actors in the play.
Actress Pan Yuchen (the ex-wife of actor Hou Yong) played the journalist Ye Mei in the play, as a journalist, she dared to speak out, for which she was also retaliated against by Ma Lifeng and others. In the contact with Luo Cheng, Ye Mei also developed a good feeling for Luo Cheng, but unfortunately, in the final coal mine accident, Ye Mei fell on the front line of rescue.
At present, the score of "The Year of the Dragon Archives" on Douban is as high as 9.1 points, which can basically be counted as the ceiling level of such dramas. If you have time, Xiaobian really recommends that you go to see this work, I believe that after watching it, "The Year of the Dragon Archives" will definitely give you a different experience and feeling.
