On the evening of February 26, the TV series " All the Way Forward " premiered in a single episode on Yangba. Based only on the content of the first episode, the main plot of this TV series is loose, and there are many unconvincing details in the story. The performances of the male and female protagonists are relatively routine. "All the Way Forward" also lacks careful consideration in the specific design of the bridge sections.
Let me first talk about the details that are not convincing enough. For example, at the beginning of this TV series, our army was crossing a river and was attacked by reactionary troops. At this juncture, our army used bamboo rafts as bunkers and hid behind them, fighting the enemy while advancing. This scene surprised the audience.
Because even on the battlefield of World War II, steel plates were no longer enough to serve as bunkers. In the late period of World War II, the Kuomintang reactionary forces had been re-equipped by the United States. During the Liberation War, their firearms could penetrate steel plates, so there should be no problem. Under this premise, using bamboo rafts as bunkers and pushing forward to eliminate the reactionary troops really lacks credibility.
The bamboo raft bunker battle simply makes the soldiers a living target for the enemy. In this way of fighting, it is better to throw away the bamboo raft and crawl forward directly. As soon as "All the Way" came out, it created such a drama, which obviously made the audience very excited. Later, in some scenes where the protagonists were in front of the steel factory, the steel factory pipes that appeared as background panels were too new, more like modern factory buildings, and lacked a basic old-fashioned feel. There are several similar problems in the first episode.
then says mainline. Judging from the plot synopsis of this TV series, its main plot is to build railways. Judging from the content of the first episode of "All the Way", its plot mission is also to build a railway. However, in the first episode, too many scenes were given to other things instead of building the railway. This is a bit overwhelming.
For example, the scenes between the heroine and her fiancé, the scenes between the hero and the rebel soldiers, etc. These scenes are not necessarily related to the theme of railway construction. Putting these scenes in has the meaning of filling up the plot and delaying the plot time. TV dramas are an art where every second counts, and these contents that have little relevance to the main story really shouldn’t appear.
For another example, the first episode of this TV series has many scenes of meetings. In these meeting scenes, there are a lot of slogans and there are very few scenes that are really useful. If this is a news documentary, there should be no problem in shooting it this way. After all, documentaries are responsible for news reporting. And this is a TV series. It spends a lot of plot time on shouting slogans at meetings. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the screenwriter.
Then let’s talk about the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist played by Li Jian is not much different from the previous military image at the script level. This almost bossy state was commonly used in previous film and television dramas. For example, his discriminatory view of the soldiers who rebelled is typical of the big boss. This type of character-building technique is relatively outdated.
The outdated character level of the script coincides with the outdated performance of Li Jian. This doesn't seem to be Li Jian's problem. He just learned from the outdated script character creation method and realized the role according to the traditional character performance method. Li Jian still has the ability to imitate tigers and imitate cats.
The heroine Lian Lian is even more confused. In the first episode, she only had a few simple scenes. Especially in the scene where the male and female protagonists merge, there is definitely something wrong with Lian Lian's performance, which lacks a basic level. The heroine was knocked unconscious by a church bomb, and the hero hugged her and ran outside. During this process, the heroine woke up, and then she began to call for him to be put down, and bit the hero. After being carried out, she called out that her fiancé was still inside.
Why does the heroine bite the hero? This performance level has not been shown in the performance. Lian Lian, after yelling "put me down" for a few words, he started biting, which makes this character very mindless.In other words, normal people will be frightened after encountering a bomb. When facing rescue, they will not yell and bite in this way. In terms of script, there are definitely problems with this scene. In terms of practice, through his own performance, he made the character look even more mindless.
Even in the first scene where Lian Lian appeared, her facial expression seemed not to match the specific role tasks. The audience needs to understand the specific role tasks of the characters in this scene through the actors' performances. After practice, you can only laugh, without any emotional performance content. It's a huge failure and a very dry way of acting.
Based only on these content that have been premiered so far, "All the Way" may not be of high quality. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
