Allow me to start with a line from the play.
"Making people's hearts a battlefield is the most thrilling."
The drama "Celebrating More Than Years 2" can be said to perfectly interpret the deep meaning of this sentence, which is amazing.
Are you still satisfied with tonight's super-point finale of "Celebrating More Than Years 2"?
In my opinion, it's a mixed bag.
The good thing is that Wang Ti stopped the story of the second season with Fan Xian going to Jiangnan to fight with the Ming family, the three major squares were burned, and the great master Ye Liuyun made a move and let Fan Xian go, which was the climax that broke out after the accumulation of dramatic conflicts.
At the same time, it also completed a good foreshadowing for the upcoming battle of Dadongshan in the story.
What's not so good is that after 5 years of waiting, chasing dramas for half a month, the remaining eight episodes were broadcast overnight, like raising a glass and drinking residual wine, there is a feeling that I have drunk it before I have enjoyed it, but there are still so many famous scenes, I haven't watched it.
Despite this, after watching the finale of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", I was still full of emotion and couldn't hide my excitement. It was as if the wine had run out and the feast was over, and I didn't know where to go next.
In my opinion, although the series has caused some controversy, it is still an excellent costume conspiracy light comedy.
The series has won 15 single-day popularity championships, breaking almost all the ratings records that can be broken in the goose factory, and the market share of effective broadcasts in a single day has reached an astonishing 50%, that is, half of the national audiences are watching online dramas.
The peak of CCTV's ratings is close to breaking 2, which can be regarded as a recognition of the king of this drama.
After watching the finale, looking back at the previous plot, it is even more unique.
When it first started, I also felt that this season had become a more direct costume comedy. Everyone laughed and laughed.
Read on.
only to realize that under the funny comedy coat, the layer of scheming calculations and people's hearts are actually about to come out. Little Fan, it's not that simple.
1: About the finale
In the last episode of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", Fan Xian said to the three princes: Some people often say in this world that right and wrong are not important, but if right and wrong are not important, and no one has tried to adapt them, the fire of the three major squares and the fire of Shijia Town will never be extinguished.
And when Ye Liuyun held the sword to Suzhou City, he came all the way.
Fan Xian finally looked nervous. Great Grandmaster, it really can't be beaten.
But it reminds me of what Lin Xiangzhu said to Fan Xian before he told him: "Your Majesty asked you to force me away, just to make you a lonely minister." ”
Good phrase, orphan.
From the assassination of the chrysanthemum in the Hanging Temple to Fan Xian's descent to the south of the Yangtze River, Ye Liuyun finally made a move, it seemed that Fan Xian was walking step by step, but in fact, there had always been a pair of invisible hands, pushing Fan Xian forward, these hands were Emperor Qing.
Now let's look at the finale, which is still divided into two parts, one is the event, and the other is the people.
Let's talk first.
The big event in the finale of the second season is that Fan Xian was seriously injured and did not die, and went to Jiangnan.
Emperor Qing invited Fan Xian to enjoy the flowers, and Fan Xian took advantage of the situation to issue a treasury debt to solve the crisis of 20 million taels, but he also lost his true qi in order to save Emperor Qing from being seriously injured.
To save, you need a person who practices the same true qi, consumes true qi to save each other, and in the whole world, there is only Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing hesitated again and again, and everyone left,
I couldn't help but turn around, and I lost my true anger to my son, this is really a splashing treatment, and I don't even think about it for the other four sons.
This time finally saved half of Fan Xian's life, and the remaining half was saved by Fan Ruoruo's disembowelment operation, and the key knife was still waved out with the help of Emperor Qing.
Fan Xian, who survived, decided to go to Jiangnan, where the sword wind went, and the Ming family in Jiangnan.
The Ming family is deeply rooted in Jiangnan, how can it be captured, not to mention that there is also a second prince sent by the second prince - the back road is broken.
As soon as Fan Xian arrived in Jiangnan, the mother and son of the Ming family asked him for guilt.
Between the words, it is not that the three major squares are not released, but they dare not let go, because the Ming family is a dog that guards the royal family, and the most important thing for a dog is loyalty.
Fan Xian followed the vine and found out the clues of the Ming family, but Ming Qingda threw out a family scapegoat.
This side has not been solved yet, and the fire of the three major squares has started, and the people, accounts, and utensils have all disappeared with the fire of the transfer department.
But Fan Xian saw through his hands and feet: what was burned was only the nominal three major squares.
On the other hand, Wuzhu fought to the death with the temple messenger, and although he killed the temple envoy, he was also seriously injured and the system was disordered, and he was unable to protect Fan Xian.
And the great master Ye Liuyun was ordered to go straight to Suzhou, a small boat, through the clouds and water, but after showing his amazing skills, he let Fan Xian go.
Naturally, it is because of the Ye family, there is Fan Xian, and the Ye family is only exiled, and without Fan Xian, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe.
Ye Liuyun swung out a sword, and the sword qi cut off the entire building, and then turned to leave, leaving only one sentence, your mother was not so hypocritical back then.
Let's talk about people.
The finale of the second season is obviously not the final end of the fate of many characters.
Fan Xian went to Jiangnan after being seriously injured, although he succeeded, the biggest challenge of his fate was in the next third season.
The second prince once again failed to calculate Fan Xian, and he became increasingly crazy, and began to step by step towards the ending of suicide in the third season.
The private relationship between the prince and the eldest princess has not yet been exposed, but it has begun to show the dew, and the battle of Dadong Mountain is inevitable, and the rebellion in Kyoto is inevitable, and the fate of the two is like a galloping horse that cannot be stopped on the edge of the cliff, destined to fall off the cliff.
And Chen Pingping used the shadow for Fan Xian, and she had already shown her hole cards in front of Emperor Qing, and the tragic ending had surfaced the tip of the iceberg.
As for Emperor Qing, he is calculating, and seems to have a chess game that firmly controls people's hearts, but after all, there are some chess pieces that he can't control.
Some chess pieces will one day become chess players, and some changes will come after all.
The final showdown in "Celebrating More Than Years" seems to be a martial arts duel, but in fact, the real game is "treating people's hearts as a battlefield".
Emperor Qing's calculations are no match for people's hearts after all.
As soon as this plot came out, I don't know how everyone felt, I was really emotional, and I had a deeper understanding of Chen Pingping's warning to Fan Xian, "Don't believe in Emperor Qing" and the emperor's mental technique.
In fact, Fan Xian went to Jiangnan, but it was just Emperor Qing's, another bureau.
2: About the third season
Wang Ti has long said that the third season has already begun to be written, and the third season is the final season of the whole show.
Now that the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" has completely ended, it is time to solve the 3 questions it left behind.
1. Where did the "Battle of Dadongshan" go?
In fact, I originally thought that it would be good if Emperor Qing took hundreds of officials to Dadong Mountain in the first season, led to the layout of all parties, and the three grandmasters gathered together and ended here, leaving a suspense.
Who knows, the ending left by Wang Ti for "Celebrating More Than Years 2" didn't mention much about the Battle of Dadongshan at all.
So the question is, where did the "Battle of Dadongshan" go?
The answer is very simple, that is, Wang Ti left it for the beginning of the third season.
The Battle of Dadongshan was the decisive battle of Emperor Qing after many years of layout, which can be called the pinnacle battle of Qing more than one year, the peak of Emperor Qing's life, and the beginning of the rapid decline in the relationship between him and Fan Xian.
With it as the beginning of the third season, and the final battle between Emperor Qing, Fan Xian and Wuzhu, it is also enjoyable to have a hard time.
Second question: How much foreshadowing did Season 2 foreshadow Season 3?
In terms of story structure, the entire second season is foreshadowing the third season.
In the first season, Fan Xian, who relied on the "Six Fathers" to form a group to assist, had a smooth journey. But in the second season, Fan Xian was deflated all the way.
The family banquet knelt down and begged for a thorough investigation, kneeling lonely.
took action in the case of corruption investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it led to Lai Mingcheng being tragically taken offline by the court staff.
Lin Xiang could have become Fan Xian's long-term backer in the court, but he was borrowed by Emperor Qing to fight and return to his hometown.
Hanging Temple assassination, Chen Pingping has already exposed her hands and feet, and she is not far from the offline line.
As Lin Xiang said, Emperor Qing just wanted Fan Xian to be a lonely minister.
He used the second prince to balance the crown prince, connived at the smuggling of the eldest princess and the second prince, and forced Lin Xiang to take away the court staff.
The clever thing is that the chess pieces always think they are playing chess, but all the chain layouts, the game between each character is actually in his chessboard, under the chess game.
All of these are constantly accumulating and amplifying the contradictions between Emperor Qing and Fan Xian, and the fuse of the final contradiction has also been ignited, that is, Ye Qingmei.
Qing Yunian also has a real invisible protagonist, that is, Ye Qingmei, Emperor Qing's jealousy, the entrapment of the eldest princess, and the assistance of Chen Pingping and others, all of which stem from the changes that Ye Qingmei has brought to the world, "As many people love her, as many people hate her." ”
And although Ye Qingmei died, he also left Fan Xian with a big killer weapon to kill Emperor Qing: Wuzhu, and Barrett, who Fan Ruoruo began to practice.
Third question: How much story will be told in the third season? Will the original cast be retained? Wait another five years?
Screenwriter Wang Ti once summarized his planned "Celebrating More Than Years" trilogy as: the first part, integrate into the world. The second part is to find the true self. The third part, the final challenge.
Obviously, the third season is the climax of the celebration of more than one year.
Although the sequel to the national drama often destroys the drama, it is still unknown whether the third season of "Celebrating More Than Years" will retain the original cast.
But judging from the second season, there is a high probability that it will not be a problem.
As for how long to wait, it's certainly not five years.
But the most important thing may depend on how long Wang Ti's script will be written, and this third season will definitely be difficult to write.
Because there are too many famous scenes to put in.
is limited to 40 episodes, how many episodes are there in the Battle of Dadongshan, how many episodes are in the Kyoto Rebellion, how many episodes are in the death of Chen Pingping, and how many episodes are in the death of Emperor Qing.
I saw an interesting comment from an optimistic netizen:
After the second season, I'm only thirty years old, and I can afford to wait for the third part.
3: About "Celebrating More Than Years 2"
How do you evaluate "Celebrating More Than Years 2"?
The key is that Wang Ti, who has written "The Legend of Dance and Music" and "Mufu Fengyun", and is a god with "Celebrating More Than Years 1".
The first season was a great success, but this "Celebrating More Than Years 2" was mixed.
In my opinion, Wang Ti's combing of the main line of the original novel, as well as the adaptation of the characters' motives and acting logic, are still in place, although there are also places where the crotch is pulled, such as the second prince's slightly too many scenes.
And the most criticized thing about "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is the funny scene.
For example, the opening Fan Xian parody show, "Fan Xian's Ash", etc., is not funny, but there is a sense of variety show of cosplay + script killing after watching too much.
But to determine that the script of the second season failed, I think I didn't really understand Wang Ti's pen.
"Celebrating More Than Years 2" seems to be constantly funny, but it is full of foreshadowing. Those two words, Wang Ti has not forgotten: power and conspiracy.
Especially after 4 episodes, you will really get into the drama, the more you watch it, the more addictive it becomes, and the more you watch it, the more you think it looks good.
It's just that compared with the first season, the focus is on the battle between Fan Xian and the two princes, and he is seeing tricks from beginning to end.
In the second season, the battle with the prince, the mystery of the Baoyue Tower, the Spring Crisis, the assassination of the Hanging Temple, and the Lower Jiangnan are just lively on the surface.
Truly thrilling.
But it was a secret war between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing.
When the court layout of the grass snake gray line was gradually revealed, in the battlefield of people's hearts, Fan Xian played with himself, with others, in the final analysis, it was against Emperor Qing.
This layer of "wisdom fight" is the main line of the dramatic tension of "Celebrating More Than Years Season 2".
For example, the heated debate between Lai Mingcheng and Fan Xian in the court is a contest on the surface, while the two princes are waiting for the opportunity, Lin Xiang's secret arrangement, General Qin's fueling the troubles, and Emperor Qing's dictatorship are the undercurrents under the court.
There are also Fan Xian and the eldest princess's wonderful float mouth cannon.
The inner treasury has a deficit of 20 million taels, and many people have to ask: How did you lose it, didn't Emperor Qing pursue it?
But this is simply Emperor Qing, the pit deliberately dug up, and the solution has already been prepared for Fan Xian.
It is to ask Fan Xian to take out the family funds left by Ye Qingmei to make up for this shortfall, and completely remove the threat left by Ye Qingmei.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xian didn't pick up the stubble, so there was another assassination in the Hanging Temple.
Did you find that Fan Xian chased the assassin to the sea of flowers, the layout of the sea of flowers and the position of the two of them were not two chess pieces from the top of the camera.
Emperor Qing asked Fan Jian, who was in a hurry, to enjoy the flowers, and from his point of view, he was condescending, where the flowers were appreciated, and it was a chess game.
It is also this famous scene, Wang Ti made modifications, and in the original book, it was not until he was besieged by the grandmaster in Dadong Mountain that Emperor Qing showed his skills.
This is Emperor Qing's wonderful hole card to single-handedly challenge the 3 major masters.
But this time, the Hanging Temple assassinated, Fan Xian dodged a move to save the three princes, and Emperor Qing was forced to kill a killer, and then he didn't pretend, got up from the seat, and looked at the princes with a domineering appearance.
From using Fan Xian to make a game and tripping Lin Xiang, to using his strength to weaken the Ye family and recovering the financial power of the Ming family in Jiangnan, Emperor Qing's game is really fine.
Although Wang Ti's change has caused a lot of controversy, it will also make many people feel that it is not as "cool" as the first 100 wine fighting poems.
But after watching the whole drama, the plot is still tightly paced, and several key conflict nodes are also very moving. Especially a few famous acting scenes, and then the scheme is filmed out of the subtle darkness of human nature.
The cool drama is easy to write, but how to write a multi-party competition in the battlefield of people's hearts is even more difficult.
If it's a pity, it's that at the end of the second season, the whole story is getting better.
But the story comes to an abrupt end here, and the climax has to wait.
4: About the actor's acting skills
After watching the whole drama of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", the most stable performance is the acting skills of the actors.
Among the new roles, the most eye-catching is Yu Haolei's Deng Ziyue.
Deng Ziyue is Wang Qinian's old friend, he seems to smell the same, not only can he pat on the back, but he is also very clever.
But after the performance, the audience found that there was something in the role, he was originally a clean official, from a poor family, and found that the captains of the border army were corrupt and honest, but he was demoted to a small master book again and again.
Unexpectedly, many years later, he who had already been "with the light" was aroused by Fan Xian, and I think many viewers were ignited by the plot again, and it was also the part where Deng Ziyue led the thunder with blood.
The acting is amazing.
There is also Wang Jianguo's old golden head, a small role in selling vegetables, a scene of hugging the moon building, and a bloody wound on his back, which sublimates the plot and makes it unforgettable.
Mao Xiaotong's eldest princess of Northern Qi, Fu Xinbo's eldest prince, and Bi Yanjun's Lai Mingcheng are also unexpectedly eye-catching.
Among the old characters, many characters are still exciting, such as the eldest princess Li Xiaoran, who is younger and more beautiful after five years, and Fan Xian is like a pair of cross talk combinations, one is funny, and the other is Tian Yu Wang Qinian.
But to say the most exciting, there are still two.
A Chen Daoming's Emperor Qing really performed the king's heart, which is incomprehensible, but it shows the king's autocracy, ruthlessness, and ruthlessness.
One is Lin Xiang played by Yu Yang.
The character in the first season was already outstanding, and the second season was a whole explosion.
has both the decision to kill as a minister, and the gentle patience as a father, and finally told Dabao that words, I believe that few viewers can be moved, from then on he is no longer the head of the hundred officials, but will always be a father who cares about his children.
The two words of human nature were played into the bones by this old drama bone.
Of course, there is also a character who is always outstanding, and that is the most important - Fan Xian.
5: About the drama king
In the case of domestic sequels and classic adaptations frequently overturning, "Celebrating More Than Years 2" is still successful overall, and the coolness, feelings, and critical edge of the series are still there.
But if you really want to understand Qing Yu Nian, the focus is not on those comedy stalks, nor on how ingenious those strategies are.
And in Fan Xian.
Because from the original book to the adaptation of Wang Ti, the core theme of the whole drama is hidden in Fan Xian.
He has the mind of a modern person, and he just wants to live in this world.
But the death of Teng Zijing in the first season made him want to fight against the truth of the world for these people, and tell those big people that they are not grass mustard.
In this season, the death of the old golden head at the beginning, and the death of Lai Yushi later, are all reinforcing a motive - why did Fan Xian stand up?
Because "if no one stands up, these people can only endure it, but who can stand up?" Who can let these people see what the true royal law is? ”
In the end, in the face of this not so fair world, the official family pretends to be deaf and dumb to all kinds of unfairness, it doesn't matter if 2000 million losses are lost, and in a world where people in a small town are killed, he can't be alone, so Fan Xian embarked on the same path as his mother.
He went down to Jiangnan with an injury, not for Emperor Qing to collect the inner treasury and Pingming's family, but for "no injustice, no crime of imposition, and obeying the law like a sword".
He knew that the chess game of royal power was difficult to break, so he would take the business road. With money, start another chess game.
I have to say that Zhang Ruoyun's performance is really beyond my expectations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has completely integrated into Fan Xian.
Everyday hippie smiles, calm and calm, but when I see ordinary people who are exploited and oppressed, that kind of sympathetic sympathy is transformed into anger against those in power, thunderous, and gives people an innate domineering spirit.
His interpretation will make you feel that this person really exists.
You will believe that there is really a person named Fan Xian, in a fantasy post-human world, who wants to tell the world that human life should not be buried silently.
There is not only the high and the low.
Compared with the funny style and light and joyful scenes, this is the most touching part of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series.
As long as Master Xiao Fan is still working hard to achieve justice in the world, let people see the true appearance of Wang Fa again.
Celebrating more than one year, there is still a look.
The third season is not far away, and we will see you in Dadongshan.
