Spy war drama is one of the most interesting themes in domestic dramas. The audience has higher requirements for the plot logic and plot rhythm of spy war dramas, so every year there are Spy dramas are online, but not every spy drama can be recognized and become a hit.
In the first half of this year, there were only two spy dramas that were aired successfully. One was "Storm Chaser", which was well-received, and the other was "Harbin 1988", which was constantly complained about. The two dramas
have successfully aroused the expectations of spy war drama fans for domestic spy war dramas, and this " Lost City " has reached the ceiling of spy wars when it was launched.
The story is high-energy and the plot is outstanding. "The Lost City" has a strong spy war flavor.
The identity is a mystery, which has always been a plot setting that spy war dramas are good at, but "The Lost City" has layer after layer of the identity of the male protagonist. Polished, it really brings out the feeling of the isolated spy war in "The Lost City".
The male protagonist Ou Xiaoan (played by Huang Jingyu ) is an undercover agent placed within the Japanese army by the military commander. His task is to investigate relevant information about the Japanese military's biochemical gas research institute. During this period, Ou Xiaoan, in order to gain the trust of senior Japanese military officials, cooperated with the execution The military agents who assassinated the Japanese army faced each other face to face.
The Japanese reinforcements appeared in time and shot and killed the military commander's agents, and Ou Xiaoan became a traitor to the military commander.
Immediately afterwards, he cooperated with his companions and finally obtained important information. However, at the same time, the Japanese army arrived and Ou Xiaoan was like a turtle in a jar. He was unable to pass on the information, and he could not leave with the information single-handedly.
The only way is to imprint the information in your mind.
There was a hasty knock on the door, an enemy who was suspicious and could kill him on the spot if he discovered important information. Inside the
door, under a fire, Ou Xiaoan burned the intelligence evidence while repeatedly jotting down the equations in the intelligence in his mind.
Across the screen, the audience’s hearts raised in their throats. And the crisis continues.
Back to the original identity mystery of this drama, Ou Xiaoan has lost his memory. He is a member of the underground party and a member of the military command station who has been executed.
What happened during this period? The audience doesn’t know, the plot is still being laid out.
When the plot line of "The Lost City" is already very high-energy and progressive, Ou Xiaoan's amnesia is like a key to the door of truth, grasping the lifeblood of the drama and arousing the audience's continued attention. Plot, interest in exploring the truth.
In the subsequent plot, Ou Xiaoan returns to Chongqing Station and participates in the internal struggle within the military system. While regaining his memory, he also maintains the occupation and mission of the underground party members, which is the main focus.
The mystery of the past tense and the unknown hidden in the future together constitute the dramatic attraction of "The Lost City" that catches the audience's attention. I stayed up all night to binge-watch 6 episodes, but I couldn't get enough.
And the high energy of the rhythm of this drama made me feel the most exciting thing after " Kite ". The premiere of "The Lost City" was really convincing.
In addition, the casting of actors is also an advantage in attracting the audience and retaining the audience.
Huang Jingyu takes the lead, and powerful actors contribute outstanding acting skills
Actor Huang Jingyu has always been an actor with a very obvious personal style. Although he has also starred in some idol dramas, military themes are his comfort zone. He has a upright image and a good figure Strong and well proportioned.
Spy war dramas actually need the seriousness and seriousness of military dramas to a certain extent in order to create a sense of atmosphere.
Ou Xiaoan, played by Huang Jingyu, is the soul character, and Huang Jingyu in the plot also showed a full sense of substitution. Ou Xiaoan fell into a coma as soon as he appeared on the stage. After finally waking up, he felt weak.In the
lens, Huang Jingyu has white lips and a livid face. Ou Xiaoan holds a gun and takes the military commander hostage. However, while Huang Jingyu portrays a military image, he also does not forget to show his dull eyes and dizzy mind.
Immediately afterwards, Ou Xiaoan's life safety was guaranteed. At this moment, Huang Jingyu no longer felt nervous about his life hanging by a thread. Instead, he began to play tricks. After losing his memory, he tried hard to retrieve useful information from others.
In this rivalry scene with Xin Zhilei , he showed weakness and was really confused, but he was also pretending to be confused.
At this moment, Ou Xiaoan’s protagonist’s charm, adaptability, and online IQ were established. Xin Zhilei,
's partner Huang Jingyu, is also an actor with outstanding acting skills. The character she played, Tan Moqing, showed many sides in just one episode. When she was getting along with the American soldiers, she smiled brightly, drank freely, and had the temperament of a social butterfly. She was unreliable no matter how you look at it.
But the next second, she bit the flashlight and sneaked into the database of the American soldiers. At this moment, Xin Zhilei performed the temperament of Agent Tan Moqing.
As soon as the camera turned, an epidemic broke out in Myanmar, and many American soldiers were recruited. Xin Zhilei, wearing a mask and looking serious, changed her identity again, from a spy war temperament to a professional doctor image.
Xin Zhilei performed different temperaments of the characters under different plots. This shaping power, integrated into the character of Tan Moqing, also makes the audience more curious about the character.
As the two most important leading actors, Huang Jingyu and Xin Zhilei are both stable and reliable.
In addition, there are several actors with excellent acting skills in the drama "The Lost City".
plays Wang Qiushui's Dong Xuan. She appears in a cheongsam, and her elegant and intellectual Republic of China temperament overflows the screen. But with her stern expression, the character's identity and temperament become more profound.
Wen Yishan, played by Zhang Zijian, has a full head of white hair and has a full sense of story without the support of lines or plot.
Li Shaotang, played by Ma Sichao , at first glance has an idol face with thin skin and tender flesh. He always seems out of place in "The Lost City", but as the plot progresses, Li Shaotang seems to be elegant and restrained, but he has hidden secrets. The mental aspect is chilling.
Ma Sichao in the play always has a sense of humility when interacting with other actors. His eyes are always downcast. Sometimes he is so humble that he looks a little cowardly and resigned, but inexplicably arouses the audience's expectations for the character. .
In these young actors, what the audience sees is not only a shaping power that is not inferior to that of the veteran actors, but also a sense of freshness.
All in all, the drama "The Lost City" is very careful in casting, and the actors are shaped in all aspects, which makes the audience have more expectations for the plot.
However, the success of a spy drama cannot rely solely on actors. The shaping of actors is only the guarantee of a drama, and the highlights of the plot determine the core of a drama.
As long as "The Lost City" maintains its current rhythm and does not play tricks on the emotional line, and both the male and female protagonists are determined to pursue their careers, I believe it will definitely be able to surpass "The Storm Chaser" in word-of-mouth and data.
