"Infernal Affairs"
It has been a long time since the spy war drama has never been seen, and "Infernal Affairs" has become the drama I am most looking forward to recently, and it has just aired two episodes. The same is about the No. 76 Mei agency. Jin Dong played multiple spies in "The Pretender". This time, he played a military spy who had just returned to China, and he needed to open up all situations by himself. "Infernal Affairs" pays more attention to audio-visual language from the beginning. There are not many lines. It requires the audience to concentrate on understanding the plot through the screen, and also requires the audience to understand the protagonist's situation by analyzing the relationship between the characters. From this point of view, it is worthy of encouragement.
"Infernal Affairs" stills, Jin Dong as Lu Feng
But some problems can also be seen. Director Dodge plays Shen Xiao, Lu Feng's (Jin Dong) opponent in the play. The initial situation is that the two heroes secretly compete, but the content of the rivalry is very routine and lacks logic. For example, the hero happens to meet her again after saving the beauty, or Torturing and extorting a confession from Lu Feng tested him. Lu Feng's strong willpower and strength to break free from the handcuffs are comparable to Captain America. The relationship between the characters is also a little confusing. Although I don't know what the plot is going to be, so I can't make a judgment, but the current two episodes can easily be regarded as boring, lacking storytelling, and confusing narrative.
"It's Just Love"
Ms. Zhou Yutong really has some magic. When she is in the workplace alone in the play, it seems that she does not need any man to help, and she can do it easily by herself. It is easy to go wrong in this position, because the job content is nothing more than helping the boss arrange the schedule and deal with trivial matters , but Zhou Yutong grasped it well. He did not exaggerate the sense of elite in the workplace, nor did he act too casually. He is just an ordinary workplace person. From the decisiveness when solving problems to the loss of not achieving the goal, he has a good sense of proportion. "It's Just Love" has become an urban workplace drama in a trance. But when she and Wu Lei stand together, she has a sense of Su, which is not the "sibling love" full of pink bubbles in her imagination, but the actual "sibling" feeling, which can solve the problem for the athlete's younger brother. Asking questions, giving encouragement, pointing out the direction, and at the same time not being artificial or teasing, she gave this cp a process of development.
"Sansheng Friendship" Sipi
The script of "It's All About Love" is relatively solid, allowing people to watch more than ten episodes in one go. The two parts of the drama, the workplace and the athlete's career, are shaped, although there are some rough ones, such as the plot of the financial year meeting, the part of the badminton match, There are varying degrees of "fooling", but overall the plot is convincing. In fact, this is also the basis for a good-looking romantic drama. Only when the hero and heroine truly have their own lives can the intersection be more life-like and realistic.
Overall, it looks good.

"Shadow of Mountains and Rivers"
As the producer of a Ming Dynasty martial arts drama by Lu Yang, there is basically nothing to say about Fu Huadao. It is excellent and high-quality, and the lens can also be said to be attentive. The quality of the lighting of several night scenes can be seen. The episode tells the story of the habitual thief Li Wu (played by Zhang Yunlong) and Jin Yiwei Lu Zheng (played by Chen Ruoxuan) working together to break through the predicament of life with the feelings of a child.
Stills of "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers"
The advantages are obvious, it looks well-made, the story logic and character design are relatively complete, Li Wu is funny and relaxed, Lu Zheng is calm and introverted with his father's big case, the design of the two from the appearance to the intersection is more careful, and the character design is also interesting. Because of the presence of Lu Yang, the overall atmosphere of the series continued a bit of the mystery + seriousness in "Xiu Chun Knife", which made the audience feel more involved.
The shortcomings are also obvious. The episodes are sometimes funny and sometimes serious, and sometimes the progress is fast and sometimes too slow. It can be seen that the drama wants to create a sense of the Internet, but it is not willing to give up the serious narrative of power, which makes the whole drama look a little bit Twisted, it can neither satisfy martial arts fans, nor can it satisfy fans of light comedy and ancient costumes. The rhythm of the plot is fast and slow. Focus on watching.
Although it is necessary and leads to twists and turns, if you watch it as a drama, it is still of high quality. Those who like Jinyiwei costume dramas can watch it.
"The Sticky Club"
When I watched the first episode, I felt that this drama was too nonsensical. When I watched the second episode, I thought it seemed a bit interesting. By the third and fourth episodes, I had to prepare tissues. "The Sticky People Club" is like a sitcom. It tells the story of five ordinary little people who accidentally trigger a mysterious music box when they run a tavern called "The Sticky People Club" in an old alley, and all the ridiculous stories happen. The beginning is a bit slow, full of jokes in Northeast dialect, but after the tavern opened, the stories are not bad.
"The Sticky Club"
This drama does not belong to any type of domestic drama that we are familiar with in the past. It packs funny, fantasy, nonsense, warmth and other characteristics together, and it is also well packaged. It does not seem strange. It is logical and smooth. Like the domestic fantasy version of "Jieyou Grocery Store", it is quite accurate. Especially the third and fourth episodes, which use fantasy settings to talk about family, friendship, and love, which are moving in just a few words. The leading actor Liang Long once participated in "Director Please Advice" and filmed "Crazy Alien". It can be seen that he has something in terms of imagination. Although he is only an actor this time, the temperament of the series and his short film is not the same. There are many similarities.
Now, this drama has come to an end. It is a good choice to relax your body and mind. You don’t need to follow any episode or follow the plot. You can watch and laugh at any time.

"Star Chaser"
This week, the "star chasing group" went to the Hanyuan Hall on the west wing of the Daming Palace National Heritage Park through the clues pointed by the three walls, four images and twenty-eight constellations. romantic horoscope chart. Constellation is the ancient people's simple understanding of astronomical knowledge, and it is also a romantic imagination of the universe.

In this trip to Xi'an, the "star chasing group" has another important purpose besides stargazing, which is to participate in the "Alpine Guqin Starry Sky Concert".

"Endless Sound·Treasure Island Season"
We turn back time in the 80s and relive the youthful years on the radio. In the feature film "Sounds of Endless Treasure Island Season", the first game just ended. After 7 rounds of fierce PK, the Naying team successfully counterattacked in the second half and won the first game.
The three golden songs of the era born by Yigong are "I Miss You Everyday" sung solo by Zhang Jie in the first half, "Contentment" by Hua Chenyu, Ma Jiaqi and Chen Zhuoxuan in the second half, and "Later" in the tear-jerking chorus of Team Naying and the audience.
The mysterious and elegant "Yelia Girl" kicked off the second half of the competition. This golden song in the 1980s was inspired by Tong Ange's imagination. He invented a girl named "Jelia".
If "Melody" sung by Tao Zhe is an "Aria of Broken Love", Na Ying and Bader's version is a "Confession of a Woman". Hua Chenyu, Chen Zhuoxuan, and Ma Jiaqi sang the warm and simple melody of "Contentment", and their pure and clean voices do not require gorgeous singing. Quiet singing is their best expression.
"Satisfaction Squad"
In 1986, songwriter Zhang Zishi wrote "Song of Zhang San". The original singer Li Shouquan used his life experience to sing the voice from the bottom of his heart. Chen Li with the guitar on his back stood on the stage covered with colorful window shadows, interpreting freedom and firm attitude ; Wei Ruxuan and Ai Yiliang sang "Darwin" softly, the way of survival that you and I acquiesced in those loves.
Writer Sanmao wrote her life into "Dream Field" as the last song of her own biographical music album. The original singers Qi Yu and Pan Yueyun sang Sanmao's indifference after life's joys and sorrows. This time, Zhang Xinzhe's gentle voice and Yang Zongwei The deep and hoarse vocals interweave and collide to release a completely different mood.
"I'm a Little Bird" is a song written by Li Zongsheng to Zhao Chuan. The lyrics are to express the difficulties and hardships he has walked along the way. This song not only allowed Zhao Chuan to vent his emotions when singing, but also sang the aspirations of every individual who was full of ambition but was temporarily unable to display it.
"Later I finally learned how to love, but you have long gone and disappeared into the crowd." Rene Liu's "Later" sang the sincerity and regret of young love from the perspective of looking back. When the first competition was about to come to an end, the melody of this song sounded again, and the eyes full of tears and the corners of the mouth with a relieved smile were proofs of our love.
This wave of memory killing is too ruthless, the good songs from the tape era are fighting hard!

"Food Meets the World"
Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Food Meets the World", which was broadcast this week, used seemingly ordinary home-cooked dishes to connect the touching teacher-student relationship between the supporting teacher Yuan Hui and the students. "Meeting a good teacher is a lifetime of luck."
Yuan Hui, 35, graduated from the History Department of Nanjing University. In the year of graduation, he resolutely packed his bags and came to the mountainous area of Enshi, Hubei to teach. Since then, the children in the mountains have become the biggest concern in his life. During these 11 years in the mountainous area, Yuan Hui has almost become a general subject teacher.
"Food Meets the World" came to Enshi, Hubei.
In the middle school geography class, he will explain the relevant knowledge of the Ganges Delta in a simple way; in the elementary school psychology class, he will also vividly interpret what it means to "retract freely"; ", not only responsible for the formation of troops, but also responsible for cheering... In order to let the children learn and enjoy it, Yuan Hui designed a teaching mode that integrates elements of sitcoms. Dashan children became active.
Children's desire for knowledge has become his greatest spiritual motivation for more than ten years. As Qingqing, a girl with osteogenesis imperfecta, said, "Over the years, I have been carrying the gift you gave me. That is the knowledge you taught me, and you taught me to be strong and brave."
