"Summer of Zhang Weiguo" tells the story of Zhang Weiguo and Lin Hongnian, the brothers who have been separated for more than 20 years. When they meet again, they are already middle-aged. The two have their own worries, but they can still face life with a smile.
Zhang Weiguo, played by Huang Lei, does not have a glamorous job, but because he is a "native" in Beijing, he has a courtyard house at home, and Zhang Weiguo lives very happily. Of course, Zhang Weiguo also wants to make a fortune every day, buy lottery tickets and sell antiques, but what Zhang Weiguo did not expect was that he would face great challenges in middle age.
The old father passed away, and Zhang Weiguo realized that the house they lived in was rented. When he reached middle age, he suddenly became financially embarrassed and did not even have the money to buy a cemetery for his father. Moreover, he was "sea burial" for his father in Nanjing and sprinkled the ashes on others' faces. If a person is unlucky, he will really get stuck in his teeth if he drinks cold water.
In "Zhang Weiguo's Summer", Zhang Weiguo is played by Huang Lei. This role is also quite down-to-earth. Huang Lei and Zhang Weiguo are also very consistent. Huang Lei interprets the image of a frustrated middle-aged man very successfully.
In addition to Zhang Weiguo's story, the story of Lin Hongnian played by Liu Yijun in "The Summer of Zhang Weiguo" also makes people sigh that Lin Hongnian is a famous host. He lives brightly in the eyes of outsiders. However, due to the impact of new media, Lin Hongnian's career has also been greatly tested. He was unemployed in middle-aged and was forced to start a new job. Moreover, his wife has to divorce him. There is no easy word for the middle-aged man. There is such a scene in "Zhang Weiguo's Summer". The frustrated Zhang Weiguo and Liu Yijun found a tavern. The two brothers who had drunk too much, hugged their heads and cried bitterly, and each of them cried like children. That scene was really sad.
It is worth mentioning that in "Summer of Zhang Weiguo", Hai Qing plays the role of Gu Jiayi. Although Hai Qing and Huang Lei have collaborated for the fourth time, Gu Jiayi is Lin Hongnian's wife in the play. After the two got married, they still quarreled and were about to get divorced.
Of course, Gu Jiayi and Zhang Weiguo also had intersections. Zhang Weiguo "buryed" his father in the sea, so he sprinkled his father's ashes on Gu Jiayi's face. Because Lin Hongnian reported this on TV, he completely annoyed Gu Jiayi. Zhang Weiguo later appeared on the show to apologize to Gu Jiayi. Gu Jiayi thought that Lin Hongnian had found someone to cheat him and made a big fuss on the TV station, which eventually led to Lin Hongnian losing his job. It seems that the relationship between these three people is not clear. The plot of
"Summer of Zhang Weiguo" is a messy life matter.
