Chapter 172 The Killer Gets on the Car

Chapter 172 The Killer Gets on the Car

There is still one stop to Shanghai, so we just have to wait patiently for the killer to appear in the car.

As a popular TV series, the 80 version of "The Bund" has a history of more than 40 years and has influenced two generations.

Even Zhang Dongliang was deeply fascinated by this TV series when he was a child. He bought a long scarf like Xu Wenqiang, hung it around his neck in a sexy way, and wore it for several years.

When Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas were popular in mainland China, the mainland had just emerged from a cultural desert and was in urgent need of cultural life, but there was a blank in the country.

One of the most important reasons why Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas are so popular in mainland China is that there is rarely any preaching in their TV dramas, which makes them seem more human.

For mainlanders who are used to watching sermons, it is a crucial factor that they can inexplicably fit in with Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas.

There are many factors that contribute to the success of a TV series. The Bund not only had a good historical timing, but also had a well-written script, a wonderful story, a good cast, and even a theme song that is a masterpiece for all time. This series of factors contributed to the success of the show.

The Bund was filmed in 1979 and first aired in 1980. Due to the historical conditions at the time, the TV series could not be filmed in mainland China and was filmed entirely in Hong Kong.

As it is a market-oriented operation, one of the biggest problems in Hong Kong's film and television production is cost saving. Therefore, the number of set designs in the TV series "The Bund" is outrageous, and most of the shots were completed in the studio.

Even in the first scene where Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li meet for the first time in the very beginning of the series, the set was located 5 meters away from the gang fight.

Even with the terribly low resolution of TV dramas at that time, you could tell that the background was a set. You can imagine how crude the filming techniques of this drama were.

Zhang Dongliang was really worried that the cast and crew would accidentally smash the scenery at the back, and the artist waiting nearby would cry to death.

For the upcoming station hijacking scene, there are also several rows of chairs placed in the studio, and the rest are almost all set pieces. You can see this if you watch the TV series carefully.

There are a few bugs in this drama, which can be seen if you think carefully. Feng Jingyao introduced the background before he came to the station to pick her up, saying that Feng Chengcheng did not come back during the summer vacation, and was busy preparing to study in France, and would not come back until the winter vacation.

Before getting on the train, Chen Hanlin, Feng Chengcheng and Wang Yueqi had a scene of asking for medals on the campus. The campus was lush with green trees and the lotus leaves in the small pond were still green.

Then the question arises, it was winter in Beijing, have you ever seen lotus leaves in the pond so green?

These details do not affect the viewing of the drama, so I will skip them. However, the timeline is still a bit confusing, so I will explain it to you later.

"Wawu, wawu", the sound of a child crying came from the door connection. A middle-aged man with a melancholy face, wearing a student uniform, came from the door and accidentally touched the child, making the child cry.

Killer Brother finally made his official debut.

Although the killer looked depressed, he had a square face and looked righteous. He seemed to be concerned about the country and the people, and did not look like a killer.

When he saw that his suitcase had made the child cry, he squatted down, took out an apple and tossed it up and down until the child laughed. Then he stuffed the apple into the child's hand and walked away with the suitcase.

From this point of view, he seems like a kind-hearted person with a conscience in his heart.

When he arrived at the seats of Chen Hanlin and Feng Chengcheng, Killer Brother was just about to sit down when he saw Zhang Dongliang and Chen Hanlin chatting animatedly, and his face was stunned.

Seeing someone coming, Zhang Dongliang leaned towards the window and left the seat outside for the killer brother.

The presence of one more person was a little beyond Killer Brother's expectations, but things had come to this point and he had no other choice.

The killer smiled at them, put down his box and sat down. Zhang Dongliang could actually see a hint of shyness in his smile. Human nature is really contradictory.

Seeing the book in Feng Chengcheng's hand, Killer couldn't help but say, "I have read Ba Jin's Family three times."

In the original drama, the killer not only said this in the car, but also said it when he kidnapped Feng Chengcheng at the station.

Zhang Dongliang couldn't guarantee whether he would have the chance to say it again in the future.

In the original drama, the killer brother felt a little hot when he first got in the car, and wanted to open the window, but was stopped by Chen Hanlin. Now Zhang Dongliang is sitting on the side close to the window, so it is not convenient for him to go over and open the window, so the scene in the original drama did not happen.

There was a sound of singing coming from the distance. It turned out to be a progressive leftist young woman instructing a group of children to sing.

I have to complain about the screenwriter of "The Bund" here. You clearly set the time to winter, but why did you arrange a group of children singing in just single shirts on a train?

Could it be that the heating on the train from Peking to Shanghai was turned on too high?

The song the children sang was called "Pioneers". As soon as Killer heard the children's singing, he immediately looked excited.

He couldn't help but walk over to the singing children, holding a baton in his hand, directing the children to sing, and singing along.

Zhang Dongliang looked at the killer brother's behavior and guessed that he must be a progressive youth or a revolutionary. From what he told Feng Chengcheng that he had read Ba Jin's "Family" three times, he knew that he was also a cultured person.

He used to be a progressive young man, but he had fallen to the point of accepting a gangster assassination mission, and the assassination of a national industrialist. The reason behind it was that the French wanted the land of the spinning mill, which Zhang Dongliang could not accept.

Realizing the above problems, Zhang Dongliang had no psychological burden about killing the killer.

The timeline of this plot is a bit confusing, so I have to explain it specially. Some people think that the historical background of the play "Shanghai Beach" should be around 1930, or even earlier.

But the question arises again. The song "Pioneer" was composed by the famous composer Nie Er. It first appeared in 1934 and was an interlude in the 1934 United China Film Company's movie "The Big Road".

Then there is a conflict in the timeline here. The story can only be unfolded with 1934 as the entry point, and it can only take place after 1934. The timeline of film and television dramas cannot be as accurate as real history.

At the train station, Chen Lianshan and his wife and Feng Jingyao brought a group of concubines to the station to pick them up, and the train finally arrived in Shanghai with a clang.

Knowing the plot in advance, Zhang Dongliang certainly made plans.

Forget about Xu Wenqiang's heroic rescue of the girl at the station. I can do it for her. Just because I don't plan to have Feng Chengcheng doesn't mean I can let the plot develop like this. Then why am I here?

Isn't the shit-stirring stick going to stir things up? Impossible, that's not my habit, I have to let the plot deviate a little. Ahem, I've been here, I'm happy.
