2021 has to be said to be indeed a year of "good dramas", with "Love Is Delicious" with a high score of 8.0 points and "The Beginning of the Lantern" with 8.1 points being the dark horses killed this year.
However, although the "Opponent" cooperated by Guo Jingfei and Tan Zhuo has not been rated for the time being, the content is compact, the rhythm is sense, and the theme is a novel "Guoan" series. Guo Jingfei's acting skills have taken a qualitative leap compared with the "Yu Huanshui period". After this drama, I personally think that Guo Jingfei is likely to be a god in a war. What are the highlights of this drama? Let's explore one or two.
The cast is well chosen
Friends who like to watch TV dramas must be familiar with "Guo Jingfei", and the image of the second brother who was beaten in "All Is Good" was portrayed in the hearts of the people. Later, a "I am Yu Huanshui" fully interpreted "What is a middle-aged social animal?" ”。 Nowadays, in "Opponent", he also plays a middle-aged social animal called "Li Tang", but he has another layer of identity, that is, foreign spies.
I don't know what everyone's impression of "spy" is? The "spy" in my mind is the kind of high-tech Kochi who carries secret weapons at any time and shuttles through business buildings.
But the drama "Opponent" successfully refreshed my cognition. Li Tang is a taxi driver, and we see those Didi drivers on the road is no different, shuttling through the streets and alleys to pull guests, but also for money, quit smoking for the second child, and angry for the child's adolescent rebellion.
Guo Jingfei integrates into the character itself, appears to be humble at times, and cares for his wife's neighbor brother. Sometimes the small citizens have a strong atmosphere, and when they have a meeting with the company, they take away all the remaining unopened mineral water and silently put it into their trunks, showing the "greed and cheapness" to the fullest.
I have to say that Guo Jingfei is a person who can make me forget the actor and only remember the role. Just like I only remembered the second brother and Yu Huanshui, this time I also remembered Li Tang.
Another actress is Tan Zhuo, a "movie café", who played a very brilliant role in "I Am Not a Medicine God" before. But most of the audience should be like me, and she knows more about the role of "noble concubine", the arrogant and cold but poor noble concubine, which makes people sigh.
This time, she played the role of Ding Meixi in "Opponent", a woman who searched and searched hard every day for a little "financial money". On the surface, he is a teacher, but behind his back, he hooks up with the parents of the students and gives students make up lessons in violation of the law, in fact, they are all for their own "spy" work to complete the task.
Tan Zhuo's eye play has always been the best actress I know, and her casual look of "biting the straw" in the restaurant is too hooky, showing the word "charm" to the extreme. When she and Li Tang came to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau to "have a fake divorce", the kind of eyes with tears in their eyes and the aggressive look on their mouths were "murderous", like women who were accusing all kinds of dissatisfaction in marriage.
Yan Bingyan, another outstanding actress in the play, is the dream lover of many people when they were young, a "Gan Nineteen Sisters" is popular all over the country, and since entering the industry for more than ten years, it has won the Golden Eagle Award, the Feitian Award, the Huading Award, the Golden Phoenix Award, the Golden Rooster Award and other honors. It can be said that it is an old drama bone.
In the play, she played a female national security captain, is a very contradictory character, for the work, she can do meticulously, even when Li Tang and his wife "fake divorce", continue to be full of suspicion of the two, and even rushed to the scene of the Civil Affairs Bureau to verify the situation. As a NSA person, she can sniff clues by grasping the slightest detail.
But for life, she is a different style, it can be said that it is "rough", working overtime every day and not going home, regardless of children and housework, even missing her own wedding, divorcing and saying that there is no time and so on. For life, she is completely a "will", and does not pursue the quality of life at all.
There are many tricks
There are too many tricks in the play "Opponent", like watching our own trivialities of life, everything is so grounded, but full of surprises.
First, the classic drama of the three people "catching rape" naturally cannot be missed, and everyone who has watched the play knows that Li Tang is a person who wears a green hat every day, but there is also a scene in the play where Li Tang goes home to catch the rape, which is really wonderful.
The adulterer hurriedly fled from the cupboard, but was caught by Li Tang, the two people wrestled, and finally the picture of the adulterer slipping away from the scene was really addictive. However, the drama of catching rape was staged too coincidentally, which also attracted the attention of the female Guoan, she thought that everything was a play, but she guessed the beginning, did not guess the end, the drama is like life, the rape is false, and the cheating is true.
Second, the blackmail drama is similar to the "fairy jump" that we recognize every day, and after Ding Meixi had a relationship with a man, he also recorded a video, and only the face of the man in the videotape, but no woman's face. This is enough to show that Ding is definitely a "veteran", the evidence is conclusive, he can suppress the other party, in order to ask for some information needed by the "spy".
Third, "passionate marriage" is a social problem of contemporary young people, that is, what we called "flash marriage" before, and there is also such a young female Guoan in "Opponent", because the entanglement with the ex-boyfriend is too injured, resulting in no excessive contact with the latter boyfriend, directly running to marriage. Is this marriage for love?
Or is it to "anger" the other person to get married? I think it is not uncommon for such young people to be contemporary, the "social reality" exposed in the play is normalized, and there are many girls in love with brains, how to avoid such a tragedy? Where does this "passionately married" girl in the play end up, let's see the follow-up.
Group portrait drama, everyone is multi-faceted
The importance of supporting roles in "Opponents" is obvious, because the background of these supporting roles can feel the difference between the protagonist and ordinary people.
The first role is Lin Yu, played by Ning Li, who is a person who has been banned by an overseas organization because of the needs of the times, but because of the needs of the times, he appeared in the mainland again. This time, he landed in front of the colleagues he had worked with before as a small leader.
His fierceness and decisiveness are absolute, but he also has a trace of tenderness in his heart, which is left to the former white moonlight Hualien and later Ding Meixi's teacher. When he heard Teresa Teng's song in KTV, he thought of the former Hualien and could see that his feelings for her were not ordinary, and they did not fade with the passage of time. Therefore, his attitude toward Li Tang will also be jealous, but Li Tang and he were once brothers and also have feelings, so they must be contradictory.
The second role is The Chicken, this role is Lin Yu's previous operator, he is a very sad person, on the one hand, there is a certain resistance to the "spy" work, on the other hand, he is very courageous, with the organization's funds to escape, not afraid of death, leaving the money to his beloved woman, he is willing to die.
From a small point of view, as a man, he is still good, and knows how to leave money for his own women to leave a way back, but his identity as a spy makes him intolerable to society, and this person is also quite contradictory.
There are also many young actors in the play, acting skills online, although the face is innocent and romantic, but it is very in line with the thinking of that age group. The young actors also collided with different sparks, which made people enjoy watching.
Overall, "Opponent" is definitely a good drama of the year, let us enter the life of a spy, they have a foreign gun on their backs, and there is a mainland national security chasing in front, in the dilemma, how to survive has become the biggest problem. Netizens affectionately call spies "500,000 walking", because the news says that reporting spies can be rewarded with 500,000.
The whole drama is witty and humorous, and the INTELLIGENCE of the spy is online, but the personality is grounded and makes people angry and laugh. The emergence of this drama has closed a big mark for the gray year at the end of the year, compared to the previous dramas such as "Who is the Murderer" and "The Wind Rises luoyang", the rhythm of this drama is more suitable for eating, humorous and funny spies, which are rare in this year! Don't miss this show!
