Recently, the webcast drama "Ace Troops" was launched, the opening rhythm of the drama is clear and compact, the character structure adopts the setting of "double male protagonist", the plot has tear-inducing brotherhood, and there are many funny and interesting plots. However, the drama's love triangle and the plot of some of the protagonists' aura are still familiar with the taste of "idols". Although "Ace Troops" has a "Trump Card" lineup of "Li Yunlong" sitting on the throne and young idols, whether it can create a word-of-mouth "Ace" needs to be verified by the follow-up plot.
<b>There are occasional distorted multi-content</b>
"Ace Force" mainly describes the growth of an ace army between forty years. The rhythm of the opening four episodes is very compact, with the new recruits mistakenly entering the actual combat exercise as the beginning, the opening of the new recruits into the large-scale exercise stirred up the chickens and dogs on both sides, the male protagonist in order to rescue the female soldiers Jiangnan Zheng and the veterans to fight, along the way to fight with the reconnaissance veterans to fight wits and courage, and finally blow up the railroad tracks... The two recruit protagonists are "in the limelight" at the beginning.
The highlight of the military drama is the battlefield confrontation, because the background of "Ace Troops" is set in the era of peace, so the visual shock is mainly presented by military exercises. According to reports, the plot behind "Ace Troops" will focus on the growth of the two male protagonists in the battlefield full of artillery fire, and will also tell their ideological transformation in the tide of reform, so the drama will not only have military exercises, but also show the cruelty of real war and the growth of characters. It is not difficult to see that the pattern of "Ace Troops" has been established, but whether it can tell such a diverse content well still needs to be verified by the subsequent plot.
In the plot released so far, "Ace Troops" shows the camaraderie of war, as well as the yearning of the two male protagonists for love. In the first episode, Gu Yiye refused the choice of the girl from her hometown to join the army at the station, and she had a sense of idolism from the lines to the picture. However, this side refused the retention of the "green plum bamboo horse", and just got off the train and was attracted by another female soldier. And the two male protagonists are fascinated by the female soldier Jiang Nanzheng who just met, Gu Yiye took the initiative to ask to find Jiangnan Zheng to return to the team, Sorghum even thought of saving her first regardless of his head breaking and bleeding, both of them were very positive, and there was also a "love battle" in military life.
The "tuanzheng cp" reproduced by Li Youbin, He Zhengjun and other powerful actors in the play is still relatively eye-catching, and the performance of actor Li Youbin can still see the style of "Li Yunlong". In the play, he played the division commander of the second, third and fourth divisions, with a tough and powerful image, and as soon as the lines came out, they immediately "calmed the whole scene". When he learned that Sorghum was the hero who fired the signal bomb, he complained about Sorghum that "he knew a fart when he played the signal bomb", and "the second, third and fourth divisions are ace divisions, you can't be a twin at any time" and other similar lines, making the character "soul wear" Li Yunlong's heroic might.
The powerful actors have played an excellent performance in the play, and the character image has a real sense of military life, but "Ace Troop" still occasionally plays when watching, mainly in some out-of-the-boxing plot settings, such as bare-handed recruits rushing out to fight against gun-wielding and well-trained veterans after the male protagonist Shouts at The Beam... These playful plots appear a bit distorted in the serious military theme.
<b>"</b><b>Double male protagonist</b><b>"</b> <b>is a bit cheesy</b>
"Ace Troops" adopts a two-man male protagonist setting, the male protagonist Sorghum has a momentum that is not afraid of the sky, and the other male protagonist, Gu Yiye, is the opposite of him, polite and calm, resourceful. From the very beginning, they did not deal with each other, one was born as a miner's son and did not have so many military knowledge reserves, and the other was born in a military family, and before entering the army, they had already turned back on all kinds of military knowledge. In terms of image, Gao Liang is a variety of foreign appearances bearing a lot of laughs, Gu Yiye is different at the beginning, there is the spirit of the boy's passionate line "Being a soldier is my life", there is a long speech that can also be gushed about a small matter, and there is a shot of standing in the middle of a group of recruits reading and learning alone.
The male protagonist in the play is reckless and introverted and hot-blooded, and there are strong differences in personality and style of acting, which leads to interesting chemical reactions. This kind of differentiated setting of the two male protagonists is very common in costume dramas and classic military dramas, and it is very popular with the audience. For example, the same military drama theme of "Bright Sword", the regimental leader Li Yunlong (played by Li Youbin) is a stunned Young who does not follow the rules, he has a hot temper and a straightforward personality, and the sorghum in "Ace Team" is very similar to him, and the other male protagonist in "Bright Sword", Zhao Gang, is a cautious and good thinker, his style is rigorous, everything will be considered from the overall situation, and Li Yunlong has a great contrast, and Gu Yiye's introverted feeling in "Ace Troops" is also somewhat similar to Zhao Gang. The double male protagonist has become a popular trend in film and television dramas, and the military theme has also begun to favor the "double male protagonist", but this setting has become a lazy routine from the costume drama to the military theme. In the military theme of the double male protagonist series, whether he is a rocket soldier or a tank soldier, the male protagonists often first tie the beam and then sublimate the friendship, it seems that the theme and actors have changed, telling the same story. For example, the TV series "King of Land Warfare" about the new era of tank soldiers, in which Chen Xiao plays the male protagonist Zhang Energy is a rebellious recruit, who encounters the efforts of 10 years of tank veterans Niu, the two are simply intolerable, the opening chapter is that Niu tried to drop Zhang Energy's mobile phone, and Zhang Energy directly crossed the level and ran to the army brigade commander to report the black... When they meet, they will tie the knot, and no one will obey anyone, and this conflict and contradiction is the same in "Ace Team". In the first episode, Sorghum stole clothes and played a mighty wind and punished people for standing upside down, Gu Yiye was very dissatisfied, and realized that Sorghum was pretending to be the chief, and the two of them fought in the carriage. There is also a triangular emotional line in the play, such a "double male protagonist" is inevitably cheesy, and it cannot become a highlight in the military theme.
"Double male protagonist" is like a traffic password, which can indeed add a lot of topics to military dramas, but from the evaluation of word-of-mouth dramas, it can be found that in the military theme, whether the actor's image is in line with the real military temperament, and whether the plot details are fisted to flesh, in order to determine whether the audience can have a good feeling for the series. That is to say, even if there is no star, do not talk about love, as long as the script is solid and tells a good story to stand on the role, it can become a blockbuster work without idolization.
For example, the reason why "Bright Sword" and "Soldier Assault" can become classic dramas in the military is first of all because the plot and characters are based on realism. There is also "Boat of Peace", which was broadcast this year, which is not only based on the adaptation of real time, but also depicts the main scenes such as the cockpit, operating room, living area and other scenes in the hospital ship, as well as the background of the story such as the identity of the characters. And the depiction of female characters in the drama is not limited to the love of children, the plot developed to the tenth episode of the male and female protagonists or pure colleague friendship, the heroine will save the life of the injured in the first place, than in the military theme to add a love triangle, such a focus on career settings give women more room for growth, but also more in line with the audience's aesthetics.
