At the end of the year, it was really a hundred dramas, just last night, CCTV eight sets and coldly began to broadcast a national security theme drama "Opponent", I shouted after watching it: The drama broadcast by Yang Mama is arrogant!
Why?
Come, listen to me talk in detail about how heroic the drama "Opponent" really is.
"Opponent" focuses on the more sensitive theme of national security, which is different from the previous dramas of the same type that mostly focus on national security personnel as the main perspective, it tells the story of national security personnel and spies fighting wits and courage from the perspective of the protagonists of both sides.
Eighteen years ago, three foreign spies code-named Taoyuan, Hualien and Hsinchu came to Xiamen to carry out a mission, Hualien looked beautiful, and Taoyuan and Hsinchu fell in love with her at first sight.
Who knows that the mission fails, Hsinchu disappears, Taoyuan and Hualien continue to lurk as Li Tang (Guo Jingfei) and Ding Meixi (Tan Zhuo) respectively, and the two marry and form a family, code-named "Phoenix".
Eighteen years later, Li Tang became a taxi driver, Ding Meixi became a Chinese teacher, and the two were both literate and martial, the other was outstanding, and the cooperation was seamless, and they successfully stole a lot of confidential information.
However, due to insufficient funds, the two are like every ordinary couple, life is full of trivia, but because the two are truly in love, and there is a daughter Li Xiaoman (He Lanju), life is also full of taste.
However, with the disappearance of the upline chicken (Hai Day), their peaceful life is broken, and the new upline Lin Yu (Ning Li) is the Hsinchu of that year.
At the same time, Duan Yingjiu (Yan Bingyan), the head of the national security task force, also began to suspect them.
The first reason that makes me think this drama is very arrogant is that it has gathered many powerful factions, almost all of them are acting online, and the story is brilliantly interpreted.
The spy Li Tang, played by Guo Jingfei, is an ordinary driver on the surface, but in fact he is thoughtful, courageous and strategic, and belongs to the type of muffled and bad things.
Guo Jingfei's performance is as stable as ever, switching back and forth between the four identities of driver, spy, husband and father, bringing to life the image of a spy who is smart and cautious and at the same time very protective of his wife and daughter.
Generally male actors will look greasy after they are fat, but it is amazing that this point fails in Guo Jingfei.
Except for the first time he appeared, I suddenly saw that he was a little unaccustomed to a fat circle, and then he would not feel the slightest violation, but unconsciously followed him into the play.
The female spy Ding Meixi, played by Tan Zhuo, although beautiful, is not a vase, she has both professional caution as a spy, nagging and worrying as a wife and mother, and the dedication and diligence of the teacher.
I have to say that Tan Zhuo is really very suitable for the role of Ding Meixi, when she permed her hair and smeared lipstick, she instantly changed from a pure teacher to a seductive female spy, and her aura changed greatly, which was admirable.
And the actor who surprised me the most in the play was Yan Bingyan.
Duan Yingjiu, played by her, appeared with a chicken nest head, wore a flower vest, and had tattoos on his feet, because he lost all the fans in the casino to get the opportunity to stay in the casino, and got rid of the image of a rotten gambler.
However, the next moment she transformed into the leader of the national security task force, and the whole person was righteous, and she was sentenced to two people before.
To tell the truth, Duan Yingjiu's setting is not surprising, but what is surprising is Yan Bingyan's acting skills.
When she played the bad gambler, she was completely a bad gambler, and she couldn't see any signs of a serious person.
But when she played the national security personnel, she changed another face, really the same as changing her face, people can't help but sigh, worthy of being a woman who has taken the film, and her acting skills are really amazing.
In addition, the TV series also has the blessing of Ning Li, Huang Yao, Jiao Gang, Hai Yi, Lin Peng and other powerful actors, and also added a lot of points to the drama.
It is worth mentioning that this drama has two small Easter eggs.
First, Yan Bingyan and Jiao Gang cooperated again in the play after "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", although the two do not have opponents at present, but they are also indirectly on the same stage.
The second is Tan ZhuoNingli in the play, last year the two played a husband and wife in "The Silent Truth", this time although the two are not husband and wife, but also have emotional entanglements.
These two small Easter eggs can also be regarded as a surprise for fans of movie fans.
The second heroic point of "Opponent" is that many pages in the play are shown from the perspective of spies, and even the male and female protagonists are directly spies, which is very rare in domestic dramas.
Eighteen years ago, after Li Tang and Ding Meixi failed to carry out a mission to Xiamen, they wanted to go back, but their superiors ordered them to stay and steal information.
This stay is eighteen years.
Gradually, they realized that they were just pawns on someone else's chessboard and could never go back. In order to survive and for the sake of their families, they had to listen to the arrangements of their superiors to steal intelligence, and became a "phoenix" that caused guo security a terrible headache.
When their upper chicken did not want to do it and disappeared and committed suicide again, they also had a feeling of empathy and sadness, because the fate of the chicken made them see their own end.
Some people may say that this drama is whitewashing spies, but after watching it, I feel that it is not, it tells so many stories of spies, just to show the theme that being a spy is a dead end that can never be escaped.
Every time Ding Meixi used beauty to perform a task, she would brush her teeth very hard, and it could be seen that she was very disgusted by this kind of thing.
But this kind of thing is endless, always again and again, she is struggling in the abyss of pain and can never be freed.
And Li Tang was also very painful, he really loved Ding Meixi, but every time he could only watch his beloved wife walk towards one man after another.
They all show the misery of embarking on the path of espionage, which is very cautionary.
The third heroic point of the TV series is that it involves a lot of sensitive topics.
For example, in order to obtain intelligence, Ding Meixi and Huo Chuanlu (Jiao Gang) in the hotel's explosive scene.
For example, eighteen years ago, when Li Tang and the three of them were on a mission, they encountered another spy, and the three guessed which country the spy had sent, and the lines were not secretly expressed in letters, but explicitly mentioned "Japan, South Korea, and North Korea."
These more sensitive scenes were not cut, which is really surprising.
"Opponent" can be so bold, in fact, the fundamental reason is that it is a well-made masterpiece, not only the confrontation between the actors is very exciting, and the rhythm is not chaotic, the character IQ is online, there is flesh and blood, the story is full of suspense and life at the same time.
The most rare thing is that as a suspense drama, it is logical and self-consistent, and there is basically no bug in the plot, which alone has won most suspense dramas.
If the plot of the back can maintain the standard of the first few episodes, I dare say that "Opponent" is definitely the best suspense drama of the year.
