No comparison is no harm, the U.S. drama is well-produced, full of characterization, wonderful plot, suspenseful, compared to the status quo of the domestic drama a thousand sets of fresh meat + Mary Sue bad plot. In addition to fresh meat brainwashed fans, for bad drama, the audience is even unbearable.
"House of Cards" and then bull ×, but also said the U.S. system and human nature. But the U.S. was only founded a few years ah, on the scale and depth, roll up your sleeves to play political thick and black, our country has been thousands of years of accumulation, never served anyone. The US has a lot to offer in the way of political imagination, but the US has to step aside.
If you know that thousands of years of Chinese history is made up of the family tree of the princes and generals, this kind of "will with the will of God" ruthlessness, straight to boast that history is a little girl who let people dress up.
Today, a domestic anti-corruption drama with a very positive outlook, a very good production, and a very good story, is a clear stream that people have no reason not to cheer.
Wan Wan did not expect, the first fire up is not the face value bear Lu Yi, not the acting skills of Hou Yong, but he - Secretary Dakang. On the debt left by his predecessor, left and right and colleagues step on, can be called the first drama backstabber. With personal charisma and strength of acting strong circle of powder, by the fan girls wildly dump table expression package, overnight become middle-aged and old net red pop.
Unexpectedly, Li Dakang secretary actually became the "name of the people" flow bear, Dakang secretary strength backpacker, only GDP, hidden attributes of the white rabbit, this road to the powder
Netizens are more on him love to the bone:
Oooh ooh ooh
See you guys are road to the powder, this baby is also assured.
This drama can be said that all anti-corruption dramas from 2004 to slap one by one in the face, can be said to be very happy ah.
It is important to talk about the good intentions of the editors in the use of various names in the drama:
From the beginning of the title of the drama, "the name of the people", naturally, there are two layers of meaning in the inside, one is to the name of the people, to do the meticulous things; the other is in the name of the people, to carry forward the justice.
Handong province = cold winter province (corruption is serious, if not anti-corruption, the political situation of the province will be like a cold winter, everything is frozen, and justice will never awaken again).
Hou Liangping, head of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption General Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, nicknamed Monkey. The drama's characterization of Hou Liangping is biased towards the Monkey King in Journey to the West, who is a demon smasher. Hou Liangping on the heinous corruption in Handong Province, but also "the golden monkey rose up a thousand fishing rod, the jade clarifies ten thousand miles of Egypt," a strong and fast action.
Sha Ruijin, secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, is the protector of justice in the drama. The word "Ruijin" in his name is naturally taken from the party's provisional regime in Ruijin in 1931. Sha Ruijin's righteous presence in the drama naturally represents the Party's original intention. The primordial heart tells us that even if there is a short-lived disease of corruption in the country. That can not corrode the original heart of our party.
(Hunan TV for the purchase of the "name of the people" spent more than 200 million silver, a change in the mango station in the three views of the embarrassing situation of the big vulgar, really touching ah!!!)
Age order:
Old Prosecutor Chen Yan 80 years old
Handong Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin 60 years old
Anti-Corruption General Bureau of Investigation Director Hou Liangping 40 years old
According to such a personage backwards in time, the three are experienced the war of resistance against Japan, the war of liberation; the 60's and 70's turbulence; reform and opening up, the three historical periods. And, all three personas are the embodiment of justice in the play. The scriptwriter is telling everyone, from our party, our country was founded to now, although the middle of a thousand difficulties, but we still come to today, is because our country's red roots remain unchanged, the party comrades of the red loyalty remains unchanged, the future will also move forward.
1. The two faces of the corrupt officials: the ugly room "pseudo-purist" VS the wine field "Dengtu Zi"
The opening of "In the Name of the People" is divided into two ways, all the way to Beijing, and all the way to the fictional province of Handong in the play. From the point of view of dramatic conflict, one side is attacking, one side is defending, both sides staged two cat and mouse game. Beijing side by the anti-graft General Administration of Investigation Division, played by Lu Yi, led, with Hou Yong played the corrupt officials staged a "cunning rabbit three holes"; and Handong Province because of the complex political ecology, in the high-level decision-making tug-of-war missed the opportunity to fight, coupled with the vice mayor of the anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, but also staged a " concealment".
Nowadays, TV dramas rarely have a name like "The Name of the People" that refuses to be recognized. This expression, which often appears in daily life, has made it difficult for many people to regenerate a sense of awe because of the recklessness and lawlessness of officials in reality. Even, some writers have written an ironic novel with the title "Serving the People".
But the show's creators still insisted on using a title like "In the Name of the People". According to scriptwriter Zhou Meisen, the name has two meanings: one is solid political beliefs, and the other is using "the people" as a pretense for personal gain. "Some officials have two mindsets altogether; they used to say 'two-faced people', saying one thing to the public and one thing to their friends in private, and it's possible that they make reports during the day and then satirize their own reports when they drink at night."
The play opens with a display of two completely different routes to corrupt officials: one is Hou Yong as a "small official", in the good offices of the anti-graft bureau and anti-corruption bureau officers, has played the clean official card, a loving father card, a filial son card, a model worker card ...... living in a humble abode, but in the mansion hiding more than 200 million in cash. When a wall of renminbi spread out, despite early reports in the news, or quite shocking. When this "pseudo clean official" talked about the root cause of his own corruption is "I am a farmer's son, poor and afraid of," when Lu Yi played the prosecutor ruthlessly pumped a big mouth: "Chinese peasants how so unlucky to have such a bad son? The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of people who have been in the same situation.
If Hou Yong played a "hidden greed", then the deputy mayor of Handong province is more like a "visible greed". He was at the table and businessmen, brother and brother, forgetful, and even said "grounded" non-vegetarian jokes, completely forgetting his identity as an official, more like a big brother of the mixed rivers and lakes. However, even if this is a "prominent corruption", he fled in a bewitching array, still do not forget to say some official words: "pick up my mother is a private matter, integrity from me to start".
And play "official cavity" Hou Yong is more comfortable with this, easy to say "have the power to corrupt ah? That are for the people's service" "Iron must be hard". The so-called turbid to clear, two different lines of corrupt officials are "people" as a pretense, to seek personal gain, scandalous, ironic to the bone.
2. Chinese-style checks and balances on power: Is it "detention" (留) or (双) "规"?
According to related reports, the drama has three lines: the first line is a major corruption case handled by the prosecutor's office, which is about the harm of corruption to the people; the second line is a political drama, which centers around a corruption case, and involves officials at all levels in the struggle at the political level; and the third line is the people's line, which is about the encounters of an ordinary worker's family in this big era.
The two episodes aired so far have touched on the first two threads, with the third to follow. Catching corrupt officials is supposed to be easy, but when corruption has affected the political ecology of a place, it's not so easy. Chen Hai, head of Handong Province's Anti-Corruption Bureau, went out immediately after receiving an order from Beijing's Anti-Corruption General Bureau to arrest Ding Yizhen, the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, only to be stopped by the head of Handong Province's Procuratorate, who told him to be mindful of the political repercussions and go through the procedures.
The scene of the provincial committee meeting featured all the major officials involved in this drama. In addition to the anti-corruption chief and the director of the Procuratorate, there is also the director of the Public Security Department, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Jingzhou, and the deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. The "hunters" outside the meeting are Lu Yi as the head of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and Zhang Fengyi as the newly appointed Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, who is out on a research trip. There are two opinions on how to deal with the deputy mayor of the city of Beijing, who has a corruption problem: one is to go through the judicial process - detention, and the other is to go through the party disciplinary investigation - double regulation. On this occasion, a subtle friction occurred in the Chinese-style power check and balance mechanism.
Both prosecutors insisted on going through the judicial process and detaining first. However, Li Dakang, the secretary of the municipal party committee, wants to take the initiative by double-checking him, citing "scaring off investors". Public security department director Qi Tongwei in order to be able to win as a member of the standing committee of the provincial party committee of Li Dakang's vote, so as to smoothly rise to the vice governor, but also reconsidered the "first rule". The more powerful deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Gao Yuliang chose the "middle way", to ask the secretary of the provincial party committee on a study tour. The secretary of the provincial party committee stated: I just came not familiar with the situation, you look after it ...... just after the provincial party committee meeting finally made a resolution to detain the deputy mayor, he has boarded the plane to the United States.
It is clear that someone in the provincial party committee meeting gave the corrupt deputy mayor a message to help him escape. Just who is the undercover agent? Who is the bigger tiger above the fly? It can be said that this anti-corruption drama is fast-paced and full of suspense. In Beijing to arrest the "small greedy", three in three out, on the one hand, time and time again failed and step by step, on the other hand, the clouds and light and trembling, very gripping.
Even the square dance moms have run after the drama, you do not hurry to nimbly began to catch up with the drama.
