"940920" after watching: Episode 9 "Development"

"940920" Episode 9: Development

Tonight is the finale. This episode is relatively dull, but finally all the clues are gathered and revealed. The day before yesterday, I saw some netizens make a story timeline arrangement (if there is a source, please let me know, I will mark it immediately), very careful, It is clearer than the version drawn by the Sacred Geometry Society on the blackboard in the play, and a lot of effort has been put into it, which shows that the audience will never give up. This should be an episode after the second episode where all the supporting characters have a chance to play. Jian Muhua, Lan Qian, Li Xinyi, Li Min, Zhang Kaiyu, etc., regardless of the amount of dialogue, all have their part in the scene, and everyone in the Sacred Geometry Society also has dialogue , Guan Yongyu (Guan Yu) seems to have mastered some secrets (maybe it's just a joke, but it may not have any development. He is the director's partner, so he should be regarded as a behind-the-scenes team. There are too many small movements in the wine glass). When it comes to the finale, the plot is compact, and everyone may not have many scenes, or there is only "say goodbye" kind of dialogue, but this episode's appearance is more interesting. "February 29" and "940920" cast supporting roles (including surprise cameos) well, which is one of the advantages of winning applause from the audience.

It turned out to be Zhang Manyuan who played Yu Jiacong's heartless father. "Imaginary Love" (2019) starring Liu Junqian, the idea developed from Zhou Guanwei's short film "Singing from Upstairs" (2006), starring Zhang Manyuan, basically Liu Junqian and Zhang Manyuan play the same role (as for Zhang Manyuan). There is another role in "Phantom Love", that's another story), and now he plays father and son, which can be said to be in the same line. Zhang Manyuan's acting skills are actually quite good, and he has been working hard all the time. Jian Muhua plays Yu Jiacong's mother, who unfortunately has mental problems. She fantasizes that the heartless man still cares about herself. It can also be said to be a non-romantic variation of "Illusionary Love". This is not necessarily an "easter egg" intended by the crew, but if the audience has a certain experience in watching movies, they will naturally discover the fun. I have written nine episodes, but my talent is limited. I don't have any special thoughts in these two episodes. The story in the second half of "940920" is not good, it was criticized heavily by the audience, and the director was also under a lot of pressure. In fact, I think the plot is acceptable. The fallacies and deficiencies need to be pointed out. As a film critic, I just want to analyze the problems in detail. Instead of pointless abuse. Talking about serialized episodes can sometimes be more complicated than commenting on a single movie, because there are so many instant interactions involved, and the audience's reaction is not necessarily related to the quality of the work. Tonight is the finale, so I will be an audience quietly. I hope that the characters who accompanied us in the 20 episodes will have an ending that will leave a good impression on the audience.
