After entering this year's summer file, a "Rebel" once again set off a boom in spy dramas, and after that, it also launched works such as "Xiaguang" and "The Forerunner", but the word-of-mouth performance was not satisfactory. However, there is another spy drama that is expected to continue the high quality of "Rebel", that is, "Infinity" starring Jin Dong and Wang Zhiwen.
"The Pretender" helped Jin Dong's popularity, and he is naturally no stranger to this type of work, and Wang Zhiwen's performance in "Rebel" is equally brilliant, but in "Infinity" he no longer interprets the positive image, but does the old business of the villain role. The cooperation between these two powerful actors is really something that people have to look forward to!
However, before the drama was launched, CCTV threw out another dark horse drama at the end of the year, which is also a spy war theme, focusing on the national security industry, but it is a rare modern spy war drama. After the launch of this "Opponent", the ratings broke out for three consecutive days, and it scored a good result of breaking 1, and the momentum was so strong that it already had the potential to catch up with "Rebel".
From the perspective of word-of-mouth, this work is expected to achieve high opening and high walking, douban five-star praise is not stopping, it can be seen that "Opponent" In addition to the advantages of the theme, its own high quality has also retained the audience.
The character setting exceeds expectations, and the scale breaks through the point of view
Most spy dramas, whether they are anti-war dramas placed in a specific era or modern dramas, often have positive characters as protagonists. For example, in "Eye of the Storm", Yang Mi and Zhang Binbin are both positive characters, including Jin Dong's "Guardian Surface" is also a positive protagonist. The theme of these two works is very similar to that of "Opponent".
And for works like The Pretender and Rebel, although the protagonists belong to the villain camp at the beginning, they are not bad people. It is precisely because of the conventional settings of these spy dramas that the drama "Opponent" has exceeded the audience's expectations from the beginning because of the character settings.
In addition to Duan Yingjiu, played by Yan Bingyan, and his subordinates, most of the main characters are villains. In particular, the male and female protagonists Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo played foreign spies in the play, intercepting and transmitting intelligence overseas.
The play "Opponent" itself has broken through the audience's inherent cognition in terms of character setting, which is eye-catching, but what is more surprising is the breakthrough in the scale of this play. Li Tang, played by Guo Jingfei, pretended to be a police officer to enforce the law violently at the beginning, and the fierceness of the means was obviously a fierce and vicious person.
And Ding Meixi, played by Tan Zhuo, is even more unexpected, she will use her body in exchange for intelligence, and will also videotape in the process, as a handle to blackmail the other party. This kind of plot, which is difficult to show in film and television dramas, is very common in "Opponent". In the current updated plot alone, Ding Meixi has used her body to exchange information more than once.
The more such a work can bring freshness to the audience, the more it can retain the audience steadily at the beginning, which is also the reason why the "Opponent" drama maintains a big hit.
Tan Zhuo's acting skills are too amazing, and the disguise of the spy is extremely frightening
In the current updated plot, the most eye-catching character is Ding Meixi, played by Tan Zhuo. Compared with Li Tang's cautious and introverted, Lin Yu's non-leakage of voice, but Ding Meixi's spy attributes are more obvious.
On the one hand, she is a school Language teacher, showing herself in the most perfect image, not only good-looking, but also very serious about students, it is difficult for people to associate her with spies. And this is precisely the best disguise color for spies.
But on the other hand, she is also an ordinary housewife, and every day before going to bed with Li Tang, the topic is chai rice oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea and children's education, and she will also mention that as spies, they have not received their due remuneration. At this time, she had put away her kind face to the outside world, but instead became a very ordinary woman.
But the real highlight of this character is that when she carries out her mission, she is dressed more charmingly, wearing a bright dress, and the process of obtaining information is even more charming. But when she gets the information, she ends it with a signature brushing move. She is not a person who indulges her own desires, but uses her body as a tool.
Tan Zhuo switches freely between these three states, she has the teacher's seriousness and kindness, and the housewife's nagging and aggressiveness. But when she was a spy, she showed absolute calmness. The role itself is very complicated in setting, but when she encounters a powerful actor like Tan Zhuo, no matter how difficult the role is, she can perform texture.
It is precisely because of Tan Zhuo's extreme presentation of Ding Meixi that the disguise of the spy makes people think about it very carefully. Their image is no different from that of ordinary people in life, but they have many faces in private, which shows that even in real life, there are some spies who are camouflaging themselves at such a high level.
"Opponent" is not only a work with a stronger plot to watch, but even the actor's acting skills can become a major attraction, such a high-quality good drama should not be missed!
