theater movies have been released one after another with the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and finally completely revitalized this theme.
More and more big scenes present real war scenes, giving the audience an immersive sense of being there, and the precise performances of outstanding actors restore the spirit of the Chinese volunteers who are fearless in life and death and fight for the country against the enemy.
Compared with theatrical movies, the high-quality war-themed works in the TV series market seem a bit unsatisfactory. Not only are they not many in number, but their quality has always been unsatisfactory.
But I didn’t expect that just after "Flowers" ended, domestic dramas would hit another hit. "Detective Heroes" starring Luo Jin and Ma Sichun was aired and won the first place in the ratings. This time it was Luo Jin who was popular. .
01
Two lines go hand in hand, the war scenes are not inferior to those in movies, and the texture is real
The drama "Scouting Heroes" truly made the audience fall into the drama in one second.
The story opens with the reconnaissance squad staying up all night to steal important offensive intelligence from the enemy.
Some people couldn't help but feel sleepy and dozed off, while others kept vigilant until they finally obtained important information. The reconnaissance section chief Liang Chen (played by Luo Jin) immediately ran back to the division headquarters to report the important information.
The characteristics of the scouts are clearly explained in one scene. They are the forerunners of the war and are responsible for important intelligence work. The soldiers in the reconnaissance company are all powerful characters. The importance of this team cannot be overstated. Metaphor.
One scene has the effect of taking the lead. The next step is to use a two-pronged approach to combine the story of the reconnaissance squad and the art troupe with the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
In the first story line, Liang Chen led the troops to block the enemy.
After Liang Chen reported the intercepted information from the reconnaissance squad to the division headquarters, he quickly received instructions from the division headquarters to go to the designated location to blow up the mountain to block the enemy. .
In this process, in addition to the main line of executing tasks, Liang Chen's characteristics of using troops like a god and knowing people well are also vividly displayed.
Liang Chen discovered that in the security class escorting the art troupe, there was a soldier named Qi Lu (played by Huang Chengcheng) who was very good at reconnaissance. Although he looked dishonest on the surface and was a bit greedy for life, when it came to fighting, he was not only very Be alert and always be able to grasp key issues.
So while fighting the war, Liang Chen tried every means to include Qi Lu in his reconnaissance squad. This way of keeping the wealth within the family and expanding the team was simply not too realistic!
During the execution of the task of blocking the enemy, the soldiers searched for suitable explosive placement points on the cliffs. Some soldiers were even bombarded by enemy artillery fire in order to connect the leads together. In the end, the mission was completed. Soldiers also died. The impact of this shot is both shocking and heartbreaking.
The second story line, the art troupe was captured
The art troupe where the heroine belongs shows the same indomitable spirit of the art troops during the war.
Although they have never participated in a war, the female soldiers did not outdo their men. They carried stretchers and escorted the wounded just like the male soldiers. They also let the wounded go first in the car that came to pick them up. When they encountered American soldiers on the way, they also tactfully stayed behind. Drop clues and seek self-rescue.
When the Chinese art troupe was bombed, the heroine threw herself at the piano case in order to protect her life. This plot seemed illogical, but the heroine's sentence "Musical instruments are our weapons" made the literary soldiers The characteristics are clearly explained.
Although they are not warriors carrying guns into battle, they still have their own weapons, and it is the most basic thing to go to the battlefield without weapons.
These two story lines are cleverly linked together by "Reconnaissance Heroes". When Liang Chen led the team to perform the mission, the place he passed happened to be the stronghold of the cultural troupe, and the cultural troupe was helping to transport the wounded, and the two teams intersected. It's reasonable and doesn't make people feel deliberate.
After Liang Chen and others completed the task of blowing up the mountain to block the enemy, they received a new order from the division headquarters because they were closest to the location where the art troupe was captured, and they were able to merge the two story lines into one.
This way of advancing the plot not only increases the excitement, but also highlights the characteristics of tight time and heavy tasks during the war.
As expected of the director Zheng Xiaolong, he can not only produce ceiling-level palace dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but also control war themes. Such a director is the greatest guarantee of quality.
02
The male and female protagonists are eye-catching, and the actors' acting skills are superb
After watching the first two episodes of "Detective Heroes", it is not difficult to find that the actors are also a major plus point for this drama.
ranked first, Luo Jin
Before this, Luo Jin has appeared in costume dramas and theme dramas. This time he is in a war drama, challenging the image of a reconnaissance squad soldier.
Judging from the character setting, Liang Chen is not only extremely powerful in combat, he is also a man who knows how to use soldiers to fight. All the soldiers under him are capable. In this mission of blowing up mountains to block the enemy, he cleverly arranged everyone to the right place, and several people created a sense of sight as a unit.
This kind of character, who uses soldiers like a god and has an equally outstanding personal heroism, is difficult to interpret, but Luo Jin's focused and alert state when portraying the character is very convincing.
ranked second, Ma Sichun
Ma Sichun, who plays the role of a literary soldier, is very representative in terms of image and temperament, but she is not just a literary soldier who can sing and dance well. This role is brainy and intelligent, and can be called the male version of Liang Liang. Chen.
Ma Sichun played the stubborn side of the character. When transporting wounded soldiers, others regarded her as a weak female soldier, but she regarded herself as a warrior like the male soldiers.
But when she was actually being bombarded by planes, she acted like her life was hanging by a thread, and she was in shock and despair. After being captured, she cleverly used her wisdom to break the situation, allowing the audience to see the growth of the character in a short period of time.
Ma Sichun rarely tried this type of subject matter earlier, but this time it is still surprising.
The third place is Huang Chengcheng
In the early plot, a supporting role that is more eye-catching than the protagonist is Huang Chengcheng. He played Chen Yuyu in "Wind Blowing Pinellia", this time he played a character who seeks stability but has strong strength. Funny images not allowed.
As soon as Qi Lu appeared, the audience could feel his shrewdness, his ability to assess the situation, and never die in vain. As a soldier in the security class, he was only responsible for escorting, and did not do other physical work at all.
But when it came to actual combat, he showed extraordinary abilities. Not only could he listen and argue, he also had a wealth of military knowledge. This was why he was favored by Liang Chen.
Under Huang Chengcheng's interpretation, this role also contributed a lot of laughter. For example, when he was spotted by Liang Chen, he knew that he was going to join the reconnaissance squad. He was so worried about his life that he suddenly panicked and said nothing. , the anxious look becomes more and more amusing.
It can be said that this drama has finally improved the quality of domestic war dramas and is comparable to theater movies. What do you think of "Detective Heroes"?
