"Wind Chaser" episode 1-4 drama review:
In the fourth episode of "Wind Chaser", Wei Ruolai's brother Lone Star died, and he was given the task of joining together beforehand. In the fifth episode, the main expansion is this part.
But at this time, Wei Ruolai didn't know his brother's intentions and how dangerous the situation he was facing was. In order to fulfill his brother's last wish, he bravely rushed forward. During
, he visited locations, investigated, screened, disguised, and telegraphed, coupled with his excellent memory and extraordinary reasoning power.
These are the skills that an excellent spy should have, paving the way for Wei Ruolai's transformation later. At the same time, he is still a little unable to handle some matters, which leads to the growth line.
There is another point in the play that also illustrates Wei Ruolai's quality and where he needs to grow. That is when Zhang Mingquan pointed a gun at his head, but he still held on tightly to his thigh.
This paragraph conveys three meanings. The first is that Wei Ruolai is unswerving in his faith, the second is that he has the courage to fight to the death, and the third is that he does not know how to assess the situation and does not know whether to leave green hills or not be afraid of running out of firewood.
The first two are of course important, but they also need to be distinguished and understood. Not making unnecessary sacrifices, surviving in troubled times, and taking on the great cause of saving the country require the Trinity.
The subsequent stories will improve Wei Ruolai's shortcomings, because now Wei Ruolai is a piece of white jade. How to polish it and what shape it is carved into is very important. In one thought, the abyss and the thoroughfare are formed. This is also the highlight of "Wind Chaser" one.
It can be seen that the director did not blindly create gods and make the protagonist omnipotent, like a cool movie without logic. Wei Ruolai has a side that is different from ordinary people, but he also has a side that is beyond his power. He is not able to do everything and achieve everything. With a character setting like
, the character will not be distorted, and there will be no deus ex machina look and feel. In layman's terms, it is grounded and gives people the motivation to chase, rather than letting the character be separated from the story and suspended in the air.
In the sixth episode, Wei Ruolai put into practice what Shen Tunan taught him about assessing the situation. Although it is still immature, it adds a touch to the creation of a complete character.
The traitor Li Shengda was ordered by Lin Qiaosong to investigate Wei Ruolai's residence. He collided with Wei Ruolai who was returning home. In order to obtain his brother's movements, he began to fabricate lies.
Wei Ruolai noticed that something was not good, analyzed the current situation, and assessed the development and changes of the situation. He lost his previous recklessness and picked up the paper knife to protect his life. After waiting for the person to leave, he smacked the useful information and weighed the pros and cons.
If he knew that his brother was an underground party member, he was at a loss for a while. Work, situation, life, ideals, etc. all came to his mind, making it difficult to make an immediate decision.
This kind of contradiction and confusion is a dramatic conflict in the script structure, in order to induce confrontation, the confrontation between people, the confrontation between ideas and ideas, the confrontation between future and destiny, which helps to create a coherent and fascinating plot.
It is the conflict bonus brought by confrontation that makes the characters more three-dimensional. The audience and the characters think together about what to do next. In this way, the characters will be convincing when they are reversed later.
Watching whether a drama can be recognized by others, it is very difficult to believe it. As long as the audience believes it, the drama will become a success. The director lays out the drama step by step, without any abruptness or bluntness, and the audience will believe it. Slowly resonate with the audience, making the audience become storm chasers.
When the audience becomes a follower, it is natural to keep them, and episode seven is the answer.
Through this episode, we can see the three major advantages of "Storm Chaser", which are rhythm, lack of water, and respect for the audience by not underestimating the audience.
The first thing is the rhythm. If the first six episodes have a relatively slow pace because they have to introduce the background and characters, then the seventh episode takes off directly.
The story has developed to this point, and everything that needs to be explained has basically been explained clearly, and the exciting showdown has officially begun. The battle of wits and courage between Wei Ruolai and Li Shengda intersects with the light and dark of the detective team.
There is also the office situation, Secretary Huang’s jealousy, and Shen Tunan’s appreciation.In addition to the main plot,
is also an important branch plot that promotes Wei Ruolai's observation and improvement of his abilities, as well as the entanglement with Shen Tunan when his beliefs change. With different camps, it will definitely be a good show.
In addition, the confrontation between the underground party, the detective team, and the traitors is also in full swing.
The atmosphere created by the hidden front battle not only increases the suspense of the play, but also makes the multi-line parallel story orderly, not chaotic at all, and there are many information points, but the director has sorted it out clearly during scheduling.
This kind of overwhelm is something the audience likes to see. It shows that the director has not fooled the audience. He cannot explain a simple thing for a long time and is completely insincere.
Since we are talking about water, that brings us to the second advantage, no water. In the seventh episode of
, Wei Ruolai mistakenly believed Li Shengda and told him everything his brother asked him to do. From the perspective of God, the audience knew that Wei Ruolai was in danger. How to break the situation and whether he would be fooled are all the focus of the audience. .
If we follow the common problem of domestic dramas in the past, this kind of tension will last for five or six episodes. Various plots that are not closely related to the main plot will take turns, such as the love between the male and female protagonists, and the trivial life of the bloody.
But "Wind Chaser" did not do this. In the first half, Wei Ruolai fell into a trap, and in the second half, he made Ji see Li Shengda's face clearly. He also intertextured with the eighth episode, which was clean and neat, breaking the audience's perception and refusing to be muddled.
However, light without water and no carrier will not work. The pros and cons on the same level are solid backing.
There are too many domestic dramas with deviations in character settings. The righteous are invincible and the villains use their wits on a daily basis, resulting in unsatisfactory duels and extremely terrible viewing. "Storm Chaser" avoids this problem.
For example, after Li Shengda's rebellion, he ostensibly obeyed the detective team, but in fact he was hiding something secretly. He and Lin Qiaosong often hid half of the story and half showed the other. Lin Qiaosong was not an easy person, fighting against the underground party in the dark without falling behind.
This kind of perspective is not only respect for history and revolutionary ancestors, but also respect for the audience. If a group of serious people produce a group of serious works, domestic dramas will naturally get better and better.
The seventh episode is multi-line parallelism, and the eighth episode is single-line advancement.
provides a buffer when the audience has received a lot of information and needs to digest it, which can not only allow the audience to understand better, but also make the story line clearer.
Therefore, the focus of the eighth episode is on the confrontation between Wei Ruolai and Lin Qiaosong. One is vigorous and resolute, not giving a chance to breathe, and the other is calm and confident.
At the end of the eighth episode, there were clues that Shen Tunan was preparing to expel foreign capital and vigorously rectify Shanghai's financial industry.
A hearty battle will be launched in episode 89. The Shen Tunan Line has finally begun to exert its strength. As the old saying goes, if one line can't attract you, then use two, both are top-grade, no matter what You choose.
