I have to say that spy dramas have always held the traffic password.
Although the current spy war dramas are far less enduring than " Kite " and "The Conspiracy", whenever a drama is launched, it will cause a swarm of spy war fans.
And even if the reputation is poor and the plot is high and low, the popularity has not diminished at all.
A spy war drama that is currently on the air has two very attractive qualities.
On the one hand, it is its cast, with Huang Jingyu , Xin Zhilei starring, and a number of powerful supporting actors such as Zhang Zijian, Zhao Da, Dong Xuan. On the other hand,
is its narrative. It sets up a "resurrection from the dead" puzzle for everyone at the beginning, and then the entire story revolves around the competition between the three parties.
Regardless of the subject matter itself or the creation of the espionage atmosphere, the first impression this drama gives the audience is just like its name.
airborne on Tencent Video, broadcast simultaneously on two major TV stations.
It can be seen from this that the popularity of " Alone in the Lost City " cannot be false in the slightest. The series
has just started airing and has ranked first on the popularity list.
premiered for 4 episodes, and the ratings have been rising steadily, easily taking the first place in platform ratings and satellite TV ratings.
In my opinion, the reason why "The Lost City" has such achievements is that it captures the hearts of the audience with a "puzzle".
1. Cause
The background of the story is set in 1945.
The War of Resistance Against Japan is coming to an end. The Japanese army sees that the situation is over, but they want to kill them all.
A poison gas research institute code-named 810 produced thousands of poison gas bombs and secretly transported them to Northeast China, where they may be dropped at any time.
So the military commander sent Ou Xiaoan (played by Huang Jingyu) to sneak into the Japanese army to find out information about the gas bombs.
Ou Xiaoan's target this time is the Japanese intelligence commander Ohashi Kazuno.
In order to gain the trust of Ohashi and Ye, Ohashi and Ye were assassinated by military commanders.
At the critical moment, Ou Xiaoan risked his life and successfully rescued him.
However, this time he shot and killed two military commanders and was therefore deemed a traitor.
2. Lurking
After gaining trust, Ou Xiaoan successfully lurked, and with the help of his companions, he obtained relevant information about gas bombs.
However, I didn’t expect that the two people’s actions would be exposed soon.
In order to ensure safety, Ou Xiaoan relied on his memory to remember all the information in the intelligence.
As a result, his companion was still arrested, and he had no choice but to deal with the other party himself.
At the same time, a key clue was also learned within the military command.
We have an agent codenamed "Lone Star" who is lurking within the military command, and it is very likely that he has obtained information about poison gas bombs.
3. Rebirth
In 1945, on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the China-Myanmar border.
A serious disease broke out in the expeditionary military camp, but an unidentified person wearing Japanese military uniform was not infected.
When he was brought back to the military for internal review, everyone was shocked.
"He is Wen Yishan's most valued disciple, Ou Xiaoan, who killed two military commanders' brothers and became a lackey of the Japanese."
Lurking inside the enemy, our underground staff Tan Moqing (played by Xin Zhilei) was shocked when he heard about it.
It turns out that after Ou Xiaoan was captured by the military commander, he was directly executed by Webmaster Wei in Hong Kong.
Faced with layers of scrutiny, everyone discovered that Ou Xiaoan, who had "resurrected from the dead" in front of them, had lost his memory.
So all the forces were secretly planning how to achieve their goals from Ou Xiaoan.
Looking at the whole story, it is not difficult to find that there are three puzzles buried there.
1. Who is the agent codenamed "Lone Star"?
2. Why did Ou Xiaoan lose his memory?
3. Ou Xiaoan, who "resurrected from the dead", suddenly appears. Is someone secretly planning it, or does he have other motives?
True and false, intrigues and deceptions, the suspenseful atmosphere of a spy war drama comes out at once, and the stamina is too great.
The next story will revolve around two key points.
One of them is the information about the Japanese gas bombs.
The military commander was eager to know where the gas bombs left by the Japanese army were placed, so that they could prepare for future civil war.
In order to stop the military reunification plan, Tan Moqing, who has been lurking for many years, is eager to find the "Lone Star", and the two work together to complete the mission.
The second one is Ou Xiaoan’s breakthrough.
Ou Xiaoan slowly recovered his lost memory when he was interrogated by the military commander.
The key lies in how he proves his innocence and how he deals with various forces.
After watching the first four episodes, as a spy war drama, "The Lost City" performs well.
On the one hand, in order to create a spy war atmosphere, the play cleverly combines the background of the times with the fate of the characters, achieving the effect of 1+1>2.
On the other hand, the narrative rhythm is fast and orderly, and with the interweaving of bright and dark lines, it does not appear chaotic at all.
In particular, it has strong dramatic conflicts and a strong period atmosphere, which immediately draws the audience into the tense and exciting spy story.
In general, "The Lost City" takes the spy war theme on another road in a special way.
has only broadcast the first 4 episodes so far, so it is not possible to conclude the quality of this drama.
However, from "The Lost City", I saw a glimmer of hope for a break in the name of the spy drama.
