Sohu Entertainment News Beijing time on October 19th, China. According to foreign news reports, HBOMax’s new TV series viewing clip revealed the first look preview trailer of the fourth season of "Succession", and it will be updated immediately. . Logan's passionate speech made the Roy family happy and happy.

It is reported that the fourth season of "Succession" will be filmed in Norway. Alexander Skarsg?rd has joined in the third season to play the role of technology tycoon Lucas Mattson. His company GoJo has been recycled Waystar Royco, the protagonist's family, will travel to Mattson's Norwegian hometown in Season 4 to further study his world.

The 10th episode of this season once again focuses on the arrests within the Gio Roy family: the sale of Waystar Royco to Lucas Mattson is getting closer and closer. There are difficulties and disintegrations among the members of the Yi family: What will happen to their lives after this incident comes to an end? It is expected that his cultural and social status will inevitably weaken, and a political struggle will inevitably be inevitable.

The American blockbuster "Succession" is inspired by many wealthy British and American businessmen and depicts a fictional top tycoon in New York - the Roy family. The Roy family owns a media group called Waystar, whose business involves news, TV movies, theme parks, etc.

Although one of the world's largest media groups, Vista Media Group is also facing great difficulties. At the beginning of the series, founder Logan is old and frail, slowly losing power over his subsidiary. In addition, with the rise of emerging technology companies in Silicon Valley, traditional media groups seem to be getting older. At the same time, Logan's previously designated successor, great-grandson Kendall, had unsatisfactory performance in a commercial recycling process and was replaced, which attracted various interests that coveted power and power. .

This play uses many plot elements such as business competition, "palace world", and family ethics to compile the script. The narrative rhythm is tight, and the dramatic performance is subtle yet intense, adding a sense of Dionysus to the audience. Includes a joyful and addictive feeling. The plot construction and character description of "Succession" are hard not to think of these outstanding masterpieces in the history of Western drama: Logan's relationship with his many children is obviously influenced by "King Lear", and Logan's great-grandson Ken Dao Er's complicated mentality towards Logan shows the fragrance of "Oedipus" and "Hamlet".

However, "Succession" is ultimately a series that could only be written in a contemporary or even postmodern context. The classic line in the TV series is a typical example. Although most of the dialogue in this play has a clear situation, it is always mixed with all kinds of wonderful metaphors, vulgar language, puns, historical stories, and actual references... Such classic lines are often uncomplicated in form , is just a simple sentence or one or two English words, but its delicate emotions, historical time, and political references can sometimes even make Chinese audiences feel too complicated. It must be noted that the meanings of such words are complicated and vague to the point of not being greedy, and the lines are often the wit of the screenwriter, which is not a mistake.

Visual expression is also filled with similar essential tensions. On the one hand, fans can see many majestic and cost-effective images and scenery in "Succession" - outdoor panoramic shots of the Roy family's mighty transport team, helicopters transporting planes, and exquisite proportions in the room. The composition skills and the costumes and scenes full of details. The Roy family and the people around him seemed to be domineering and domineering. On the other hand, in scenes involving the tense relationships within the Roy family, the writing team often used a lot of shaky and secluded documentary style hand-held cameras to allow the audience to be bystanders and watch directly. Stare at the characters' indifference, embarrassment, restlessness, lowliness, and insignificance.

In fact, "Succession" is both classic and contemporary, simple yet complex, grand yet specific in terms of dialogue and visual expression, forming a complex set of connections with the game plot of the show. association. Although it is disguised as a prestigious "palace" and corporate business competition, the true essence of "Succession" should be a display of the essential conflicts in contemporary capitalist America, and the internal and external struggles of the Roy family are just this macro view. The actual conduct of economic conflict.

Logan’s character setting is the best among bourgeois entrepreneurial myths and legends: he was born in poverty, relied on his own diligence to create a cultural media kingdom, and relied on his personal ability to become a leader in political and business relations in the United States and the United Kingdom. The world is majestic and powerful. But in the process of telling the story, the director spent a lot of ink showing this "level" of weakness and incompetence. Logan is a person who fully recognizes the role of the bourgeoisie, especially the neoliberal economic structure. He pays attention to personal interests and rights, and also believes in his own abilities. In his eyes, everything seems to be a struggle to control rights, which provides him with Adding to success also brings difficulties.

The director of the play, Jesse Armstrong, majored in "American Science" and worked as a member of the House of Commons of the United States, and has a deep understanding of the business models of political and business groups in the United States and the United States.

Therefore, in the script, she did not limit her attack on the myths and legends of bourgeois entrepreneurship to the personal level, but used rich and diverse practical references - such as the cruise ship scandal in the second season and Logan's support in the third season. The plot of the Communist Party and the party's far-right presidential candidate - emphasizes the structural basis of this myth and damage.

In "Succession", the director brought the audience an antagonist of Logan - Kendall Roy, Logan's great-grandson. Among Logan's four children, Kendall was the only child who dared to resist his father. In the first season, he has launched two resistances to Logan (in order to seize control of the company), each time getting closer and more successful, but his disagreements and hesitations always make him fall short. This role can be called the Hamlet of contemporary capitalist America. Unlike Logan, who is decisive and ruthless in killing, Kendall is sensitive and hesitant. His character is greatly affected by Logan. He admires and recognizes Logan to a certain extent, but it is difficult to truly be as ruthless and ruthless as Logan. He recognized progressive values ??and resisted Logan's traditional left-wing core ideas, but he was the beneficiary of Logan's series of political and business activities. He is selfish but also values ??friendship, he is hypocritical but also sincere. Through the contradictory presentation of Kendall, the director actually conveyed to the audience a lesson that is very familiar to Chinese audiences: "Collapse is absurd, just like expectations."
