Speaking of classic spy war dramas, they all date back more than ten years ago. "The Conspiracy", "Before Dawn", "Insidious", etc. are all dramas that can be recalled many times.
Although Liu Yunlong is good, he works slowly and meticulously, and it is usually difficult for his projects to pass review.
Today’s spy dramas are hard to come by.
From "Infernal Affairs" to "Thin Ice" to "Plum Blossoms of Hearts", most of them are disguised as spy wars and "falling in love". In the end, they are still idol dramas.
In the past few days, CCTV 8 has also released a spy drama "Huamei".
I originally thought that the quality broadcast by CCTV was at least above the passing line, but I didn't expect that it was "better".
01,
Let’s talk about the plot first. The tightly coupled plot and logic of a spy drama are crucial.
The background of this drama is the 1950s.
At that time, there was nothing left to do, and there was also a sense of tension and pressure. From the first episode, it was a bit difficult to get into the drama. The content of the
story is still very simple.
The male protagonist has just returned from studying abroad and is engaged in important scientific research work.
fell into a trap as soon as she arrived in HK. The heroine Pang Hongmei and her colleagues protected the returning hero.
The male protagonist came back from studying abroad and was influenced by Western culture. It is understandable that he has a bit of modern flavor.
However, these eyebrows look really dramatic. They are too delicate. Do fans really like the little fresh-faced look with oily hair and pink face?
also has this constantly changing hairstyle (according to netizen statistics, 3 hairstyles and 4 sets of clothes changed in one episode).
Since the crew has this material and financial resources, why not spend the funds on the production and polishing of the TV series.
Well, it’s still “for beauty”.
lacks the atmosphere of the times, and also lacks the sense of reality.
When it comes to the heroine, it’s even more dramatic.
The male should be handsome and the female should be romantic and beautiful.
They were still performing like an idol drama.
Plus the close-up of the internet celebrity's "silicone face", it was suspected that they had gone to the wrong set.
Liu Xueyi and Peng Xiaoran both made their debut in ancient puppet dramas. They are handsome men and beautiful women.
However, the interpretation methods of period dramas and idol dramas are completely different. Every word and action must be in line with the situation at that time, or at least "look like it".
The uniforms of the protagonists are also spotless.
The uniforms of the Ministry of Public Security are not loose and generous, but slim-fitting.
Don’t you feel uncomfortable when you are fighting?
I am really afraid that my clothes will be torn if I exert too much force.
In the movie "Youth", Xiao Suizi tried on a pair of tight jeans but did not dare to leave the dormitory for fear of being "caught".
The latter is from the 1970s, nearly 20 years older than the era of "Youth". Is it true that I can't find the uniforms from that time?
Everyday home clothes and clothes for tea dates are also very "modern".
was not conducive to action, and it was also quite eye-catching at that time.
If the only purpose of this arrangement is for the director to do it for "beauty".
That’s wrong, it’s the same uniform. Why does the heroine’s uniform have a waist-cinching feature but the other girls’ uniforms don’t? Who is worse than
?
And this one, were there such transparent shirts in that era?
white base suspenders can be seen. Are
fabrics so cheap?
changed into 10 dresses in 6 episodes?
The crew is indeed very wealthy.
This actually reminded the editor of the "Thunder Warrior" that was offline before.
For the sake of the beauty of the picture, the male protagonists all wear hair gel and go to the battlefield. There is no cover or movement during the battle.
The heroine goes to the battlefield, wearing tights and high heels.
All service roads are spotless. There is no trace of period drama. Isn’t this an insult to our soldiers?
Don’t just laugh at the heroine, a female supporting character appears. This is how
performs tasks, yes, you read that right.
I don’t know what’s going on in the past few years. Why do Internet celebrities prefer spy dramas? Or maybe directors are keen on finding Internet celebrities to star in spy dramas.
Perhaps for young people, starring in spy dramas and period dramas is a shortcut to transformation.
The audience is watching according to the rhythm of a spy drama, while the actors and directors are "expressing" according to the way of an idol drama, and the information is not equal.
is like this going around in circles.
stared wide-eyed, but was not interested in the drama.
This is not surprising, why everyone is so tired after watching it.
However, the "flavor" of the spy drama is right when the TV series switches to Ding Yongdai who is full of wrinkles.
This is the charm of old drama.
Even if he is not the protagonist, he can still elevate the drama to the level of "watch it first".
has the texture of a spy drama.
Veteran drama star Kong Lin.
If you compare it with the previous stills of the male and female protagonists, it feels like "two dramas". Is the sense of fragmentation between
andvery serious?
02,
Spy dramas should reflect the true history.
Especially in a special historical environment, the production of service scenery should be consistent with history.
In previous spy dramas, such as Hu Ge and Song Yi in "The Pretender", the protagonists have to go on a mission and enter a place of feasting and entertainment, and it is understandable that they wear exquisite cheongsam and red lips.
Because if you don’t dress like this, it’s you who “looks uncomfortable.”
But all the services are to serve the plot. A spy war drama without a plot is not "beautiful" at all.
I hope that directors and producers will stop using Internet celebrity faces, give up those unrealistic "exquisiteness" and false prosperity, and return to reality.
The audience will suffer the same consequences as you.
