In 2021, the good-looking and well-sold domestic dramas are indeed not many,
It seems that the happiness of the whole people chasing the drama is still stuck in the "Mountains and Seas" in early 2021, until the end of 2021, the happiness of the people seems to be no longer far away.
As a spy drama broadcast on CCTV 8,
Different from the spy war stories that took place in the Republic of China, such as "Cliff" and "Latent",
"Opponent" is implemented in the present, on the other side of the sea,
A group of people tried to undermine stability and unity, so they sent well-trained agents to lurk in the coastal city of Xiazhou for many years to engage in espionage.
The protagonist in "Opponent" is not the kind of spy who wears sunglasses and a trench coat and walks with the wind.
It is a civilian couple who have lived in the tube building for more than ten years, and make a fuss about trivial matters every day.
The husband is a taxi driver who runs morning and evening, and the wife is a middle school teacher who sees stitches and needles to earn make-up tuition.
These two people, like the common people of The Peacehead,
There are the troubles of handing over tickets, there are daughters of rebellion, there are cold war worries,
In this way, the two people live the lives of ordinary people, but they do not look like spies at all.
This is also the biggest highlight of this drama, the identity contrast,
Two ordinary ordinary little people are engaged in secret and dangerous spy work, dripping in front of outsiders, playing a civilian couple...
What is even more exciting is that Duan Yingjiu, the mother of his wife's student, is the sworn enemy of the two, the leader of the spy arrest team of the Ministry of State Security.
And Mei Xi's brother-in-law also happened to be admitted to the Ministry of State Security, just working under Duan Yingjiu,
A nest of rats, embattled, rats are smart, cats are smarter,
It is such a strong fight that makes this drama wonderful,
Trivial life is interspersed with the high-energy stimulation of spies fighting wisdom, are the most ordinary people, engaged in the most ordinary work, but hidden some spies engaged in intelligence work.
And the contrast between the identities and situations of Li Tang and Mei Xi also makes this drama unbearable,
The two were originally ready to retire early, but because the funds could not be delayed, they could not retire, and even had to subsidize the activity funds themselves, not to mention how depressed the days were.
Li Tang, played by Guo Jingfei, has a line in it:
"Our annual campaign funding is a fraction of their reporting bonus, and I am very touched to see it."
This sense of tug-of-war and powerlessness inside and out runs through the lives of the Smiths.
How to hide your true identity under the identity of an ordinary person while completing the task,
The whole series is to use a clue, a troublesome treatment, to construct the internal and external contrast of the two people,
On the one hand is the spy mission that follows, and on the other side is your cat and mouse game of chasing me,
There is a bright line and a dark line, which makes the plot ups and downs and wonderful.
What is more precious is that this drama has a wealth of realistic materials as a basis.
Whether it's a female spy selling herself out of all kinds of sugar-coated shells in order to complete the mission,
Or how spies use all kinds of modern technology and hand-to-hand tools to complete the task.
The spy side is so rich and multi-faceted, and Duan Yingjiu, the leader of the opponent's national security task force, is naturally also interesting.
As soon as she appeared, she was tattooed, scalded with big waves, and ate fried powder on her feet in the casino, and then she showed her face as a competent female leader of the NSA.
This character seems to be an iron wrist, but in the process of getting along with colleagues every day, it is iron-blooded tenderness, just with softness,
This character also has a weak rib, that is, the family,
She has been busy with work for many years, day and night are reversed, life is irregular, not only diabetes, but also makes her husband unbearable, to divorce him,
The child communicates with the mother in the absence of the mother for many years,
The portrayal of the character of Duan Yingjiu can be called a profile of contemporary police officers.
In addition to the multi-faceted three-dimensional characters, in the execution of espionage work and the filming of counter-espionage operations, I have done my homework.
There is both the cornerstone of reality and the tension of entertainment explosion,
The assassination operations of spies are often mantis cicada catchers, and the yellow finches are unexpected after them.
The contest between counter-espionage and espionage is also the biggest attraction throughout the film.
Either this side just shot, the other side immediately found the clue, or this side just locked people, that side will be tactful to get out. The enemy is strong and the enemy is strong, so that the confrontation between the two sides is full.
Spy stories are good, and the bonds between people also have their own highlights,
The elderly spy trio is constantly messing around in the emotional bondage, you fight for me, and work together,
And the Youth Police Department also continues this emotional bond and this symbiotic relationship at work.
It can be said that the two groups of love triangles, in contrast to each other, have both interests and true feelings, and people are complex and multi-faceted in the emotional waves, which can be seen in this play.
Spy stories, love triangles, what else?
This series surprises you with surprises you can't imagine,
What female spy was cheated out of her savings by the black heart financial company, and could only rely on her own investigation methods to find out the black heart boss,
What spy couple is working together on how to get intelligence, and what side has to deal with the rebellious daughter,
This kind of daily life is mixed with the plot of espionage, and after the excitement of espionage, it is the double drama brought about by the warmth and calm of daily life.
Let the whole show not a minute be boring.
The lines are simple and full of wisdom in life,
And the confrontation between the powerful actors has raised this solid work to a new level,
Tan Zhuo and Guo Jingfei play a spy couple, bold and refreshing when performing tasks, and their daily relationship is full of fun as husband and wife.
Yan Bingyan continued her acting strength as always, and showed Duan Yingjiu's cold and internal heat personality not badly.
And Jiao Gang, Ning Li, Huang Yao and other old and young strength actors, so that the good looks of this drama are all-round.
Especially in the shaping of female characters, this work is more worthy of the domestic drama outstanding female role award,
Whether it is the calm and composed spy man's wife Mei Xi, or the coarse and detailed national security group leader Duan Yingjiu,
Or the stunned Qing Zhuhui who is deeply troubled by love, or the eccentric girl Li Xiaoman,
Female characters are diverse and not repetitive, and some dramatic re-creations have been made on a solid basis based on life.
A good work, it does not rely on gimmicks, but on the continuous transformation and growth of the characters to enrich the texture of the story,
The characters stand up is the root of the story,
A good story needs good characters, the characters stand up, and the plot that unfolds with the motivation of the characters will have internal drive.
A good story should be based on life, and at the same time, it must extract the interestingness of trivial life, so that the logical and irrational materials can be organically integrated.
"Rival" can be called the best domestic drama in the second half of this year.
