CCTV "King Bomb" drama! Ranked 20th in the national ratings for 0 consecutive days, and all members are selected actors 0 "Going North": The Chinese-style survival code against the current

(The main style of writing: using the canal as a mirror to see the DNA of every Chinese)

The Grand Canal rolled in "Going North", splashing not water, but the survival philosophy of three whole generations - this waterway that has flowed for thousands of years is neither a landscape for Douyin Internet celebrities to check in, nor a knowledge point in history textbooks, it is clearly the "countercurrent gene" in the bones of Chinese.

1. North-to-South? The Chinese don't recognize one-way streets

When film and television dramas from other countries are still struggling with "going to New York or staying in their hometown", "Going North" has long turned "two-way running" into performance art. When the post-90 Xia Fenghua drifted north to deliver the express, they carried the smell of pickles and jars by the canal in their trouser pockets; When Xie Tiancheng, the middle-aged ship boss, sighed while guarding the diesel boat, his mobile phone swiped a short video of his son engaged in logistics in Beijing.

What is this geographical migration?

It is clearly the quantum entanglement of cultural genes. The most ruthless metaphor in the play is hidden in Xie Wanghe's motorcycle rearview mirror - the canal in the rearview mirror recedes into a dotted line, but the viaduct in front of it leads straight to the sky, and the Chinese live as a never-ending ferryman in the gap between tradition and modernity.

2. Canals are not rivers, they are survival memes etched into DNA

Don't look at the young people who love to talk about "lying flat" now, "Going North" tore off the warmth filter and revealed the fangs of survival: Xia Fenghua was chased by the city management for setting up a stall and ran out of the Olympic hurdles; Xie Wanghe broke his knee when he delivered food, and he put a band-aid on his helmet as a medal. Which of these is Struggle Chicken Soup?It is clearly the "amphibious" survival instinct of the children of the canal - they can not only bear the pressure of life like a worker, but also chop waves in the live broadcast room like an e-commerce anchor.No wonder the post-90 audience laughed at themselves while chasing the drama: "It turns out that we are not Buddhist, we are the ancestral "Alive" PLUS version." ”

3. Old drama bones fried street, traffic star set "unloading"

When Hu Jun wore a toad mirror to play the boss of the boat, Sarina scolded the street with an enamel jar, and the old actors turned the period drama into a performance art exhibition. What's even more amazing is that the image of Bailu - steel teeth and black skin directly lifted the table of idol dramas, making people think that the time of "Zhou Shengru" has crossed over to deliver the express. These actors are not acting, they are pickled in the canal: Ou Hao's rivers and lakes are mixed with the smell of diesel, Li Naiwen's bookish smell is stained with the fragrance of eel noodles, and even the group performance aunts scold each other with the wet tone of the canal.

4. Culturally confident? It is better to say "rebellious rebellion by recognizing ancestors and returning to one's ancestors"

Young people brush rockets for the canal's World Heritage application, middle-aged people guard the old shipyard to engage in live broadcast and bring goods, and the most rebellious setting of "Going North" is that cultural inheritance does not need to be sad at all. When Ma Siyi mixed and matched Kunqu opera and electronic music to station B, and when Xie Wanghe used the takeaway app to deliver food to the old neighborhood, the old canal rejuvenated its second spring in the short video. This kind of "ancestral rebellion" is much more vivid than the cultural relics in the museum: Li Wanda, the inheritor of the post-00 intangible cultural heritage, opened the ASMR live broadcast when she carved bamboo carvings, making the old craft a sleep-aiding artifact for the post-0s.

5. The real king bombs the drama, and the bombing is the knowledge house

"Going North" was broadcast to episode 90, and the most shocking thing was not the 0.0% ratings, but the "canal check-in fever" in reality - countless post-0s suddenly began to ask their grandfather's boatman's number, and the middle-aged uncle secretly downloaded the canal map APP. This drama is like a cultural fishing rod, fishing out all the nostalgia sunk in the mud of memory.When Xu Zechen said, "Follow the tears when chasing the drama", what is the cry of the plot?It is clear that he sees the canal flowing in his DNA, which is making new waves in the 5G era.

Concluding remarks:

"Going North" can become a hit because it punctures the lies of two eras -

(1) "Tradition must be tragic": young people by the canal use Taobao stores to continue their old skills, proving that cultural self-confidence is not a tablet for offering;

(2) "Struggle must be sad": Xia Fenghua can still laugh and laugh when they live in the basement in the north, turning the survival battle into an arcade game.

In the final analysis, what the Grand Canal taught the Chinese is never to go downstream, but like water, regardless of whether you build a dam or open a gate in your time, I will drill when I see a crack and go around when I encounter a bend, and live as the most stubborn gentleness.The next time someone says "Chinese don't understand humor", suggest that he see how Xie Wanghe drifts in the canal with a motorboat in "Going North" - that is called the performance art exhibition of survival wisdom!
