More than a year after "Erbin" became popular, "Harbin 1944" meets the audience. This story set in Harbin under the rule of the Puppet Manchukuo in 1944 is like a huge stage: the idealistic twin brothers Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu ( Qin Hao ), the sensitive and suspicious chief of the Secret Service Section Guan Xue ( Yang Mi) ), the thoughtful chief of the intelligence unit Pan Yue ( Zhang Zixian ), the rough and arrogant "executioner" Hu Bin ( Luan Yuanhui )... Characters with different positions and personalities appear on the stage, between good and evil. Struggle, decision. In the spy battles again and again, the audience can see civil and military battles of wits, daily details, human texture, and emotions related to the characters and the background of the era. The first thing
can feel is the ubiquitous anxiety and tension of the villains in the play. Whether it is the insidious and cunning Japanese military executives or the spy hawks and dogs seeking power, no one is doubting each other and secretly guessing, and no one is not grabbing crazily and venting wantonly. This "sense of madness" that was rare in previous spy war dramas cleverly echoes the background of the story - on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the defeat of the Japanese army has begun to take shape. Even in the Northeast under the rule of the puppet Manchukuo, the fluctuations of people's hearts are vividly visible. superior. Because of anxiety, I am cruel; because of cruelty, I feel even more uneasy inside.
screenwriter Wang Xiaoqiang is very good at writing about people, and this time he cleverly presented the fierceness and inwardness of the villain group: those who seem to be well-versed and well versed in the way to the top, are actually worried every day and find it most difficult to rest; those who seem to be playing with power, In fact, it is just a small chess piece. And the continuous cruelty and violence they deal with their compatriots is more like their inner timidity collapses and they have to find an exit.
Another strong emotion corresponding to it is the true temperament and true calmness of the revolutionaries. Twin brothers Song Zhuowen and Song Zhuowu, one is an underground worker who bravely entered the tiger's den through a misunderstanding, and the other is a patriotic hero who assassinated Japanese officers based on instinct. Yi Wen and Yi Wu have very different personalities. Their writing is full of thrills and dangers, and their interactions in life are very lively and lovely. The underground workers Lao Duan and Dr. Shi who were quickly "offlined" in the previous episodes are equally impressive: suddenly discovering that the spy was disguised as his comrade, Lao Duan quickly processed the information while escaping alertly, even though he was later imprisoned. He is still arrogant and sarcastic about the stupidity of the secret agent's disguise. When Dr. Shi sees difficulties and his identity is close to being exposed, he will tremble to write down his unexpressed love for his wife and children, and he will calmly face the encirclement and suppression. There were not too many fierce roars, and they downplayed their deaths, which also conveyed the courage and confidence of those who yearned for the light of that era.
Crazy and calm, two extreme emotional contrasts, cleverly convey the different paths of the great and the despicable. This is the long-lost beauty of spy war dramas. It can provide intriguing suspense and meticulous logic, and can also present things in a subtle and subtle way. The real power is not the madness and publicity on the surface, but the persistence deep in the heart. and ideal.
Of course, there is another emotion that comes from ordinary people in turbulent times. Car drivers, hawkers... "Harbin 1944" describes so many small characters. It doesn't have much ink, but it is enough to convey the hardships of the times on ordinary people. Sometimes it is the anger of being divided into three or sixty-nine but can only swallow it, sometimes it is the loss of choosing self-interest and betraying the past, and sometimes it is drifting with the crowd without a goal. This kind of hidden emotion also reminds us outside the play over and over again: how lucky we are to live in the present.
