There is actually no real villain in "Walking to the Wind". As a professional drama, the Luzhou Airlines we see is the carrier of the story. The flight department, flight attendant department, and maintenance department are the carriers of the workplace story, and the pilots, flight attendants, and engineers are the participants in the story.
Of course, the protagonists are Gu Nanting and Cheng Xiao played by Wang Kai and Tan Songyun .
I saw some complaints that this is a middle-aged idol drama, and some even said that it was a bad movie and abandoned the drama. I am probably a viewer who easily develops feelings. As long as I can watch a drama, I rarely give up easily.
"Walking to the Wind" is not bad. This kind of good is based on the experience of watching the drama. At least now when I see them, I don't think of Wang Kai and Tan Songyun, but the characters in the drama, and the actors stand behind the characters.
Flight Department Chang Jiang Tao doesn't like Cheng Xiao. He doesn't like female pilots. Even if Cheng Xiao has a stable and well-behaved personality like Gu Nanting, she will not be favored by Director Jiang, because in Director Jiang's dictionary, there should be no female pilots in his department. This is his insistence.
Luzhou Airlines has turned away female pilots during recruitment for five consecutive years. Even though Gu Nanting, Minister Xie, and even senior leaders directly expressed their opinions many times, Jiang Tao always persisted and refused to compromise.
Is he being unkind? Is he stubborn and rigid? Is he being sexist? I think that’s right, that’s what he said. He said it very straightforwardly: Female pilots are involved in marriage and childbirth. Once they start preparing for pregnancy, they have to change jobs six months in advance and can’t resume flying until after the lactation period. This will cause losses to the company. Female pilots are not suitable for Heron Airlines, which is developing rapidly.
Is Jiang Tao right? Of course he is, but as Minister Xie said, Luzhou Airlines, as the leading enterprise in the province, needs to make some socially responsible decisions. Take the recruitment of female pilots as an example. Big bosses say that they have lagged behind their peers, but Jiang Tao still does not let go.
In the play, Cheng Xiao and Jiang Tao encountered a serious flight accident. Director Jiang's operation order was "Keep the center line, brake", while Cheng Xiao's order was "Conflict! Turn." We saw that the investigation results in the play were that Cheng Xiao, who had discovered the conflict earlier, had subconsciously made the operation and did not deliberately violate the instructions issued by Director Jiang, so Cheng Xiao's operation did not violate the rules.
But what we saw in the play is that in the simulator, Director Jiang restored the situation and found that even if he braked, he could avoid colliding with the plane in front. Therefore, Director Jiang believed that he was right, but Cheng Xiao's steering operation was inaccurate. This kind of plot actually made me feel comfortable. It was really more interesting and more realistic than Cheng Xiao was right and Jiang Tao was wrong.
Cheng Xiao in the play was born in 1992, and Gu Nanting was born in 1988. They are both mature professionals, but Cheng Xiao's impulsiveness does seem like that of a young man with little social experience. This is a bit inconsistent with the seven or eight years of working time.
If nothing happened to Gu Nanting's ex-girlfriend, Cheng Xiao might not have anything to do with her. Because of their good relationship and regret, Gu Nanting has always been single.
The screenwriter arranged for Gu Nanting a gentle and gentle neighbor sister Li Yuyao, and then arranged a Cheng Xiao who has both firepower and vitality. These are really completely different types of representatives.
Cheng Xiao discovered Gu Nanting's kindness belatedly. He followed his own feelings to express his appreciation and love for Gu Nanting. This expression was very direct. He asked directly: What do you think of me? It's so dangerous, why did you rush to save me?
However, Gu Nanting is really very reserved. He never answers questions directly or even gives a positive response. It may be that his previous relationship experience has caused too much damage to him, so he is not so easy to accept new relationships.
I like the performances of these two actors very much. The scale is just right, which completely makes the audience feel the heartbeat. Gu Nanting can't sleep, has arrhythmia, gets up and does paddling exercise, which is very interesting.
It is a very happy thing to meet a lover who is compatible with you in the workplace. From this drama, we can all feel this happiness. Even if it is a middle-aged idol drama, so what?
