Why is the TV series The Knockout popular? Did you read it?

I must have watched such an excellent TV series, and I have to brush The Knockout again. As the first explosion drama in 2023, The Knockout scored as high as 9.0 on Douban.

So, why is it so hot in The Knockout? I summed up the following three factors:

First, the plot setting is too awkward.

The first is the argument about "spy". Anxin was undercover in his early years, and he almost lost his life because of the tip-off. After that, the information about the mole has never been found. With the development of the plot, everyone thought it was Cao Chuang at first, and later thought it was Li Xiang. However, after the death of these two people, the mystery became more and more elusive. No one knows who is the umbrella of the evil forces in Jinghai.

The second is the struggle between black and white forces, and there is no difference between them. If it is a one-sided story, it will certainly be difficult to attract the audience. Gao Qiqiang's mental journey from an honest fishmonger to the "black boss" in The Absolute Monarch of the Sea of tranquility is certainly sympathetic, but the evil after being completely blackened is also hateful.

An Xin tried to pull Gao Qiqiang back to the "right path", but because of the interference of the "inner ghost", she finally got nothing, and she was so worried about her hair. In addition, Gao Qiqiang was able to "whitewash" himself in his early days, only because his younger brother Gao Qisheng stepped into the abyss.

At the same time, there are a lot of tears in the play. For example, the tragedies of Gao Qisheng and Chen Shuting, An Xin and Yu Meng ended. Even at the last moment of his life, Qi Shenggao had to remove obstacles for his brother, and the scene of mutually assured destruction with Li Xiang earned enough tears from the audience.

Second, the actors' acting skills are too arrogant.

The Knockout's two leading men, Gao Qisheng (played by Zhang Songwen) and An Xin (played by Zhang Yi), are both played by veteran opera bones with superb acting skills. Gao Qisheng, played by Zhang Songwen, shows a sharp contrast between a fishmonger who was bullied at first and a black boss who was all-powerful in Beijing and Shanghai. An Xin, played by Zhang Yi, is a living "growth-oriented" man, with the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, but after experiencing many things, he has a sense of vicissitudes that is rare among his peers.

In addition to the "fighting ability" of starring acting skills, the performance of supporting roles is also remarkable. Qi Shenggao, who is vengeful and ruthless, is cruel and unforgettable, and even known as the "salted fish killer" (killing the son of the village party secretary with frozen hairtail); Even Gao Qiqiang, the "big sister" Chen Shuting who is full of aura and exquisite, can't help but praise her brother. "If you marry a wife, you will find a nephew." In addition, Chen Jinmo, the killer of "the Force is fully open", and Li Youtian, the despicable and cunning father and son, are also worthy of praise for their acting skills.

Third, the topic selection is too realistic.

Personally, I especially like and basically only watch realistic movies, because I always feel I can learn something. The human nature shown by the characters in The Knockout's TV plays is particularly realistic, not the so-called justice of right and wrong, like selfless dedication and the reincarnation of heaven. And the choice of TV series also changes with time. The macro changes in the Sea of tranquility are absolutely visible to the naked eye, and even some small objects are constantly changing. This kind of intention will really give the audience an immersive feeling, which makes people fascinated by The Knockout.

After watching this drama, my biggest feeling is the same as that of netizens (I found the book of getting rich): selling fish in the vegetable market, buying plasma TV, being familiar with the art of war, looking for my eldest sister-in-law, kneeling on michel platini. Of course, the above are all jokes, but in the end, I sincerely recommend this TV series to everyone. The Knockout deserves a "second brush".
