The story of this drama is purely fictional The Wolf Hunter
[The biggest problem of "Wolf Hunter" is that it overly strengthens the protagonist's ability and weakens the role of supporting roles]
[Is "The Wolf Hunter" a divine drama?] The protagonist and the villain are very good at fighting, and the supporting characters finally come to wash the floor.
On May 24, 2021, an anti-poaching 8-episode short drama "Wolf Hunter", premiered at the Hunan Satellite TV Mango Monsoon Theater, and was quickly hyped up online. With its harsh style, atmospheric realistic pictures, novel and informative stories, and wonderful interpretations by a group of excellent actors, "Wolf Hunter" is indeed full of explosive potential.
However, seeing that in the end, the plot of "Wolf Hunter" did not collapse, but it developed step by step towards the divine drama, and the sense of surprise that was established in the opening few episodes was gradually defeated.
"Wolf Hunter" scored 7.7 on Douban, which also shows that it is a good work, but there is still a gap from the classic.
"Wolf Hunter" tells the story of experienced ranger Wei Jiang (played by Qin Hao) and newcomer police officer Qin Chuan (played by Yin Fang), a thrilling anti-poaching legend.
"Wolf Hunter" is directed by Cao Dun and Gao Xiang, written by Gu Haoran and Gao Peng; starring Qin Hao, Yin Fang, Huang Zixing, Shen Jiani special starring, Yin Zhusheng, Yu Haolei, Zhao Wei, Sui Yongliang and other starring.
Director Cao Dun's last work, "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", has a Douban score of 8.2; the gap between "The Wolf Hunter" and "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" with a similar team may be the 2 episodes at the end.
The biggest problem of "Wolf Hunter" is that it over-strengthens the protagonist's ability and weakens the role of supporting roles. This problem is particularly prominent in the last 2 episodes, and it almost becomes a divine drama.
The story of "Wolf Hunter" is the thrilling journey of two anti-poaching predatory policemen who hunt down a group of illegally poached wolves.
At the beginning of the story, there is a sense of traditional martial arts films.
Qin Hao plays the male protagonist Wei Jiang, who was an excellent forest policeman five years ago, and was seriously injured in a hunt for wolves, while his partner was killed by the wolves. To this end, he resigned to become a ranger, but for five years he never forgot to capture the wolf gang five years ago to avenge his brother.
Five years later, he met the wolf gang again; in the end, he also succeeded in making the leader of the wolf gang ambush the place where his partner died.
This kind of plot structure design is the same routine as the traditional martial arts movie: the best revenge, the best is to let the enemy die in a specific way in a specific place, and it is best to use the weapons or moves of the year.
Perhaps it is such a martial arts complex that makes the protagonist in "Wolf Hunter" become a gentleman who has been revenge for five years; the corresponding villain, the great evil, must also be a master of superior martial arts.
The remaining other characters become symbols, and the meaning of existence is only to set off the strength of the protagonist.
Therefore, Wei Jiang, the male number one of "Wolf Hunter", and the anti-number one poisonous harrier (played by Yin Zhusheng), are the first masters of the strongest ability; Qin Chuan, a police newcomer played by Yin Fang, a female wolf played by Shen Jiani, as well as ranger Xena, and several other wolf gang members knives, foxes, etc., belong to the second gear of ability.
The remaining dozen or so policemen are all in the third gear, or even lower.
In Stephen Chow's comedy movie "Kung Fu", there is a paragraph in the opening scene where the Axe Gang sweeps the Crocodile Gang overnight. After the fight, the axe gang second boss played by Lin Xue shouted sarcastically at the police station building: Police, come out and wash the floor!
In the story of "Kung Fu", the meaning of the existence of those policemen is to wash the floor of these gangs and deal with the aftermath.
In "Wolf Hunter", in addition to Wei Jiang and Qin Chuan, the other dozen police characters who appeared on the scene were almost the meaning of the existence of the ground.
In episode 6, Wei Jiang and Qin Chuan chase them to an auto repair shop and encounter three wolves to complete a big battle. Wei Jiang voluntarily tied up and let Qin Chuan escape with a hair salon sister.
Then in episode 7, Wei Jiang was taken to the wolf's old lair, and after Qin Chuan informed his superiors, he rushed to the wolf's old lair alone without waiting for support.
Once there, the decisive battle began.
Because of internal contradictions, the wolf gang finally killed wei Jiang, Qin Chuan, and Hua Tuanzi, and hunted down and killed the poisonous harrier one after another. As a result, Hua Tuanzi, Qin Chuan, and Wei Jiang were injured successively, while the poisonous harrier was hit by one arrow, two shots, twisted off one hand, and finally hit the leg by the wolf clip, and finally got it done.
The entire wolf gang, including cannibalism and being killed in the old nest, had nothing to do with the dozen or so policemen who arrived behind, and they finally came to wash the floor.
In the middle, the old three knives of the wolf gang were caught once by Wei Jiang and Qin Chuan, and escaped during the transfer, and got two escort policemen.
These symbolic police characters are not as effective as the last wolf clip.
Is such a "Wolf Hunter" a mythical drama?
The protagonist's drama is mostly natural, the protagonist's ability is beyond reproach, and the protagonist's hard life can also be understood. But why do you have to make the protagonist a lone hero? Why weaken the ability and role of supporting characters so much? Are these supporting characters only worthy of washing the floor after the work is done?
Wei Jiang once blamed himself for 5 years because of his partner's sacrifice; his partner repeatedly asked him to ask for support, but he did not listen. Five years later, the police were notified of the final action and support was obtained. However, the real fierce battle still has to come by themselves, and the so-called support colleagues are all present to wash the floor after the fact.
At the beginning of each episode of "The Wolf Hunter", these words are typed: the story of this show is purely fictional.
If so, then Wolf Hunter should be called Lone Wolf Hunter, or Wolf Hunter.
Such a title may be more able to explain why the other policemen in the play can only wash the floor.
