In a Global Village chain Internet cafe in Lingquan City, Chen Shaojie was discussing the second half of "Prison Break" with his American netizens. After chatting with overseas netizens for a period of time, his own English level has also improved a lot.
"Jackson, it's so good. The second season is definitely more exciting than the first season you watched. It's more popular and the scenes are more grand!"
After chatting with an American netizen for a long time, many of his terms were also influenced by the other person, and like him, he changed his name to "Ji". In front of the computer screen, Chen Shaojie was typing on the keyboard with both hands, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his lips. He found that he liked to spoil something in front of these overseas "Prison Break" fans who were behind in progress, which gave him a sense of superiority.
"Is it true? That's great! But what about the plot? Is it still as exciting as the first season?"
In a student apartment in San Francisco, Jackson was also typing on the keyboard. Compared with Chinese audiences who prefer big scenes and hot action scenes in TV series, American audiences like Jackson are still more concerned about the plot of "Prison Break". After all, hot and big scenes are still too common for American audiences who are influenced by big-budget American dramas. What they care about most is the storyline of "Prison Break", which is why they are crazy about this Chinese drama.
"Plot? Of course, the plot of "Prison Break" is still full of suspense, making you nervous and breathless. To be honest, man, you really don't have to worry about the plot. You know, Plum Blossom Company did this for this movie. A TV series has a team of dozens of screenwriters, so how can the plot not be good?"
This is the media report he saw when browsing the news online these days. He was very shocked. This industrial assembly line style of screenwriting was completely different from what he had imagined in his mind. Purely out of the desire to show off this advanced model to his American friends, he shared the news he saw with his American friends on the other side. He didn't know that this was how American TV dramas always worked.
Jackson on the other side didn't have any objections to the advanced model he boasted about. He mainly wanted to ask about the plot content of the second season. According to his Chinese friend, the protagonist had escaped from prison by the end of the first season. He is curious about how the series will go next.
"Chen, can you briefly tell me what the second season is like?" He added shortly after, "It's best to keep it simple and general, not too detailed. I don't want to be dramatized. through!"
This mentality of wanting to know and being afraid of being known is a typical symptom of "Prison Break" fans being poisoned.
"We have now played about 12 episodes here. Generally speaking, it is a cat and mouse game between the police officers Ma Hong and Mi Shuai who are chasing them. Officer Ma Hong is very smart and has excellent professional skills. He has captured several There are other fugitives, but in the intellectual contest with Mi Shuai, he always misses one move and always lets Mi Shuai run away in the end. Hahaha, this is so interesting."
"And, you know, during the fight between Ma Hong and Mi Shuai, the two seemed to have some emotions between men!" Chen Shaojie originally wanted to use an idiom to express sympathy for each other, but his English skills were limited, so he had to write Emotions between men.
"What? The emotions between men? Oh, my God, you mean my idol Mi Shuai likes men? No, no, no, this is too terrible, I can't accept it, I have to consider whether to watch "Prison Break" again Already?"
Chen Shaojie was shocked by his words. Does this foreigner have a problem with his understanding?
"It's not that kind of emotion, it's a mutual appreciation and admiration between the two parties!" Afraid that the foreigner wouldn't understand, Chen Shaojie added: "Jackson, do you know Wu Yusen?"
"I know, he is a great action director. I have seen his movie "Broken Arrow"!"
"Wu Yusen directed a Hong Kong movie "Bleeding Heroes" in his early years. In it, there was this kind of mutual appreciation and cherishment between men between the police and thieves. The second season of "Prison Break" has this feeling. It is great. It¡¯s cool too!¡±
After going offline, Jackson decided to take some time to rent and watch the movie "Bloody Heroes" to understand the emotions between men. He was really frightened when he heard Chen talk about this at first. He didn't want to watch any gay movies.
Thomas, who was in the same dormitory, said to him: "Jackson, good news! News on Yahoo Entertainment said that CBS has bought the rights to the second season of "Prison Break". Jackson, we no longer have to worry about not having to watch it, haha !¡±
Jackson walked to Thomas¡¯s computer and softly read this news on Yahoo: ¡°CBS has reached an agreement with Plum Blossom Media. CBS will buy out all the rights to ¡°Prison Break¡± in the United States for US$1.1 million per episode!¡±
"Oh, my God, it turns out that CBS has bought all the copyrights in the United States. No wonder the audio and video products of "Prison Break" have been delayed.?. I bet that CBS will never allow the audio and video products of "Prison Break" to be released before it is broadcast on the TV station! "
Thomas also echoed: "You are right, brother. So, if we want to finish watching "Prison Break", it will take at least more than a year!"
No matter how eager overseas "Prison Break" fans are to see the second half of "Prison Break", at least the domestic audience is fascinated by it and is hooked.
In the last round of advertising for "Prison Break", the average price per 30 seconds increased to 2 million yuan, with Nokia winning the bid at 5 million yuan. After four rounds of advertising investment, the average price increased steadily from 1.2 million, 1.5 million, 1.8 million, and 2 million.
In fact, the viewership of "Prison Break" itself has not increased that much. The recent viewership level is about 560 million people. The substantial increase in advertising costs has more to do with tapping the potential of domestic advertisers. This exceptionally excellent TV series has ignited the enthusiasm of merchants for advertising. Qin Tianzhu previously talked to other TV stations about making the advertising market bigger, and through the combination of "Prison Break" and Urban and Rural Network, he did it.
The last round of advertising investment is over, and the series of "Prison Break" has also advanced to the second half of the second part.
In the second half of "Prison Break", the line of chasing fugitives and the line of anti-corruption are intertwined. The further you go, the greater the proportion of the line of anti-corruption. The role of Deputy Governor Gao Peijun played by Tan Guoqiang is becoming more and more important.
In the second half of the plot, police officer Ma Hong was promoted by Vice Governor Gao, and Vice Governor Gao was kind to him. Entrusted by Vice Governor Gao, he tried his best to capture Mi Shuai and the Mi Lin brothers. At the same time, Mahone is a police officer with a sense of justice. During his contest with Mi Shuai, he used his intuition as a policeman to realize that Mi Lin's murder charge might have been framed.
Mi Shuai told Ma Hong that according to his investigation, the victim was actually the mistress of Vice Governor Gao. There was a conflict between the two because of their interests. The victim wanted to report him to the Discipline Inspection Commission with the materials in his hand, so Vice Governor Gao hired a murderer to kill him. the victim. At that time, Milin happened to pass by the scene of the victim's murder, so he was framed by Vice Governor Gao.
Ma Hong was favored by Vice Governor Gao. Vice Governor Gao usually pretended very well and did not believe Mi Shuai's words at first. However, during the pursuit, Vice Governor Gao, as a senior official responsible for economic work, frequently interfered with his criminal investigation work and put pressure on him. When Ma Hong sometimes mentioned his suspicions about Milin's case in front of Vice Governor Gao, he would always be rudely interrupted by Gao Peijun. All kinds of doubts planted seeds of doubt in Ma Hong's heart.
Mi Shuai¡¯s fugitives are on one side, Ma Hong¡¯s police are on one side, and Gao Peijun¡¯s officials are on another side. The three parties have their own positions, and they are all people with high IQs. They fight with each other, stimulate their intelligence, and have conflicts one after another, which makes the audience in front of the TV excited. Especially Gao Peijun, played by Tan Guoqiang, is extremely deep-seated, full of joy and anger, and leaves no clue to his opponents. Moreover, he has excellent work ability and an excellent official reputation. Even though the plot has clearly revealed that Gao Peijun is the villain OSS, many viewers can't help but wonder if Mi Shuai and the others were wrong in their suspicions and wronged a good official. Or did the screenwriters deliberately lead the audience in the wrong direction and end up with a surprising ending? This is not impossible, many screenwriters like to tease the audience in this way.
As the plot gradually comes to an end, the conflicts become more acute. On the Internet, discussion threads from "Prison Break" fans have been overwhelming. Everyone looked for clues and answers from previous episodes.
"I'm sure everyone has been deceived. That Gao Peijun is a good guy, and the screenwriter did it deliberately. They just wanted to tease us poor viewers."
"I also think that Gao Peijun doesn't look like a bad person. He is quite friendly to the grassroots people when he works, right?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Gao Peijun is a good guy, so you are saying that Mi Lin and Mi Shuai are the villains? Then can you still watch this drama? The studio has not been criticized by rice fans around the world!"
"Then tell me what's going on. The series has aired for 20 episodes, and the last two episodes are about to end. Mi Shuai and the others have no hope of successfully overthrowing Vice Governor Gao."
Yes, there are a total of 22 episodes in the second half. After 20 episodes, Mi Shuai¡¯s side does not see any chance to turn the situation around. Gao Peijun is extremely talented and did not leave any evidence for his opponent.
How should the screenwriters of Plum Blossom Company deal with this? For the last part of the plot, the screenwriters of Plum Blossom Company followed Qin Tianzhu¡¯s prompts and made something out of nothing.
Mi Shuai and the others failed to collect evidence of Gao Peijun¡¯s corruption. In fact, they couldn¡¯t. Gao Peijun¡¯s hands and feet were very clean. Finally, Mi Shuai came up with a way. He gradually put pressure on Gao Peijun through Ma Hong, and let him know in a subtle way that the victim had given a note to Mi Lin who was passing by, saying a "protector" on it.The password to the cabinet contains evidence of Gao Peijun's corruption.
Gao Peijun was determined and resourceful, and was unmoved. However, the plot development of the last two episodes was beyond the audience's expectations. Qin Tianzhu filmed the content of the last two episodes into "Infernal Affairs III".
Gao Peijun looked calm and strong on the surface, but in fact after hearing that Milin still had evidence, his heart was overwhelmed by the pressure released by the other party. He was close to a mental breakdown and had hallucinations from time to time. Sometimes he would talk alone in the office, talking about the name of the victim, describing the process of hiring a murderer, and asking for his mistress's forgiveness; sometimes he would open the safe to see if his dirty money was still there
And all this was recorded on camera.
In the finale, in the last scene, Ma Hong¡¯s gun originally pointed at Mi Shuai¡¯s head suddenly turned around and pointed at Gao Peijun.
"Ma Hong, what are you doing? Arrest them quickly, send them to prison, shoot them, shoot them!" Gao Peijun looked like he was crazy.
"I'm sorry, Governor Gao. It's you who are going to jail. I have all the evidence of your crime and the relevant materials have been sent to the Commission for Discipline Inspection!"
As he finished speaking, two comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission came over and announced his double rules to Gao Peijun expressionlessly.
"No!" Gao Peijun let out a shrill scream. When he heard the news about being Shuanggui, he shouted hysterically: "You can't do this to me. Why do you only believe a few fugitives and not me?"
"I have made so many contributions to the organization, you have to show your conscience!"
"Ma Hong, you bastard, you are ungrateful!"
Ma Hong said silently to himself: "I'm sorry, Governor Gao, I'm a policeman!"
So far, the domestic version of "Prison Break" with a total of 42 episodes has officially ended. On the day of the finale, the total number of viewers of "Prison Break" exceeded 600 million for the first time! What a perfect ending. (To be continued.
