There are 4 people below.
3 spies, 1 national security.
Please identify:
Li Tang (Guo Jingfei), a taxi driver who hides his "People's Police Card" in his wallet;
Ding Meixi (Tan Zhuo), whose bandaging technique is better than that of a professional nurse Chinese tutor;
Duan Yingjiu (Yan Bingyan), a casino with wavy rolls, floral tattoos, and sharp eyes like eagles;
Lin Yu (Ning Li) goes to Ding Meixi's house to talk about work.
The former sits and talks, the latter...
Standing in a military posture?
Long wait.
Today, the mystery is revealed:
"Rival"
We have seen a lot of spy dramas, "Dark Calculation", "The Sound of the Wind", "Latent", "Rebel"...
But I found that no, the stories of those dramas basically took place in the Republic of China.
Modern spy drama, modern excellent spy drama?
Sorry, no one.
Well, Sir was excited:
"Opponent" is to fill the gap of the national drama, and the Douban score of the finale still falls at 8.0 points.
We have seen too many highs open and low walks, so hard is "strange".
Since it has ended, let's release the "insight" that cannot be seen elsewhere, and the strangeness of "Opponent" is:
Actually stitching together the three types of dramas that are opposite to each other, relying on the grounded plot environment and four good actors who can almost always be believed, do not violate the harmony, but collide with a rare meaning.
The first, spy dramas;
The second, life drama;
Third, sell a pass, let's not talk about it.
Layer by layer, layer by layer.
01
vicious
This group of spies raced one fiercely.
Fierce Man No. 1, Li Tang.
The chicken rolled away three million and disappeared, and Li Tangding Meixi and his wife went crazy: "We have worked hard for nearly 20 years, and immediately retired our boss and ran away?" ”
Evil is born of guts, and Li Tang pretends to be a policeman.
The were arrested and tortured, and their expressions were as cold as ice throughout the whole process.
Tough Man No. 2, Lee Toyota.
Sorry to be wrong.
It was him, Lin Yu.
In broad daylight, on the overpass several meters high, grab the ankle, lift it vigorously, and kill the mouth.
Then ride through the traffic.
Undress and throw wigs.
3 minutes to complete the human slaughter to human essence of the costume:
Ding Meixi.
Here is still a tireless teacher, and in the blink of an eye, he has already got the room card of the "student's parent".
High heels, fishing net socks, big red lips, small umbrellas...
Before the episode ends.
You never know how many times she did "Wang Jiazhi" for the mission.
And he, The Chicken (Hai Day).
After rolling up the money, the world evaporated, leaving no clue to Li Tang, who was good at tracking.
One word.
A group of "outlaw spies" who wander between the enemy and ourselves and life and death.
Is that all?
Fierce, just the skin of espionage.
What really digs deeper – the more fierce they are, the more they reveal cowardice, the more they are afraid of death than anyone else.
This is not only cruel to others, but also to oneself, but also to oneself.
There are hints in the play.
Ding Meixi gave a lecture to the students, "The Battle of the Two Tangs.".
From "The Twelve Years of Zuo Chuan Xuangong".
The Chinese army and the lower army compete for the boat, and the finger in the boat can be used.
What do you mean?
In a war, the Chinese and lower armies belonging to the same side competed with each other for ships, and the first to get on the ship cut off the fingers of the latecomers who climbed the side of the ship, and the severed fingers were so large that they could be held up by hand.
On weekdays, they may act like "colleagues", "partners" and "comrades-in-arms".
But this kind of friendship could not stand the test at all, and it did not dare to give its back to anyone but himself.
They each have their own identities, and behind their identities are their own purposes, tricks, and careful thoughts.
The boat is the current situation of this group of spies.
Here's another example:
The spy disguised as the boss of the game software met the comrade guoan who was ambushing and eavesdropping, and opened a curtain, which was not a radio, but a set of audiophile sounds.
Lines: 300V electron tube amplifier, high pitch sweet, mid-pitched, bass deep, in a word, transparent.
Familiar?
The subsequent test track is Teresa Teng's "He Rijun Again", whether it is a Tribute to hong Kong film or this old song, what is about to come out is not two words: spy and disguise.
"Opponent" points out the real fierceness in spy warfare:
"Limited".
Relationships, tasks, time, space, and even your name, your emotions, your desires are limited.
Fate is not up to man.
02
true
After saying tough, let's talk about the truth.
This is a good reality theme, the life of the life drama, once distorted, the audience will inevitably complain about suspension and falsehood.
But "Opponent" can make you believe that this is not a spy in the novel, and even make you forget that you are chasing the drama.
Why?
Breath of life.
In most domestic dramas in the past, no matter what type and occupation, the protagonists almost lived a life far beyond their own economic level. Live in large villas, large flat floors, open BBA, wear brand-name watches, jewelry, and all kinds of luxury bags.
What about Li Tang Ding Mei Xi and this couple?
Taxi driver + Chinese teacher, married for eighteen years, has a rebellious daughter, the family lives in an old residential building without an elevator, living a three-point life.
Lines such as a peek at middle-aged life:
You don't have the money to take any fuel
You don't have the money to pay a fine for anything
Didn't the police return the sticker to you this morning?
Now I drive a lot
This waist, ah, flash at every turn
One tooth was lost
Medicare is also not reported
Will the funding go up a bit
This is also the essence of spying
Honest, attentive, regular.
It is best to integrate perfectly into local life, and the slightest detail cannot be faulted.
One wrong step wrong step wrong.
Not alarmist, remember this news:
The spy who had been lurking for more than a decade went downstairs to take out the garbage, but was caught by the national security organs because he violated his own life rules.
In addition to the lines, there is also the "taste".
Several times Sir thought he had strayed into the "flavor of the world" or "a string of life".
Not to mention that the camera deliberately stays in the night market, downtown, and forced the old city, nor does it say that the actor is really confident, the beauty filter is absolutely not open, the eye lines on the face are wrinkled, and a layer of tropical oil can be seen.
The most important thing is that from the beginning of the first episode cue from time to time to gourmet snacks.
Duan Yingjiu fried powder, feel more egg flavor.
Ding Meixi has always fantasized about going back to the night market on the other side of the sea to eat bowls of flour when she gets the money.
Li Tang loves to drink Kung Fu tea.
The so-called life is not three melons and two dates, the embarrassment and struggle to maintain, and the occasional leisure time to calm the tired body and mind can not be separated from the "mouth".
National security is a person, spies are people, and people are inseparable from the smudging of fireworks in the world.
03
love
I have to say that the screenwriter of "Opponent" is "bold":
The shell of the spy drama, the shape of the life drama, the core of the love drama.
Discover how adult men and women tumble in love, be shaped, dragged, and then move towards their respective fateful endings.
If you say that fierceness and really make "Opponent" a good drama.
That love (detail) undoubtedly makes "Rival" another step on the way to becoming a top series.
Exaggerated?
Well, Sir said a little supporting role.
The most terrifying and stunning cameo in the peak of the Chinese spy film "The Sound of the Wind", Liu Weiwei (the female assassin who was caught at the beginning).
This time she played the role of secretary Chen, a bank clerk.
After Lin Yu's "team" learned about it, she found that she had never been in love with any man and was kidnapped by the spirit of her old father to middle age.
Spy gangs hit the nail on the head.
Ding Meixi' former instructor, incarnated as the Golden King Lao Wu, drove a rented luxury car on the stage.
He is like Mr. Yi, breaking through the opponent's heart defense with violence, and Liu's good acting skills show the transformation from abstinence to indulgence so silky.
In the end, Secretary Chen made a mistake and her lover ran away, so she buried her head and wrist-cutting arm in the sink.
How does the entanglement of love manifest itself?
Close-up of encounters
Secretary Chen read the novel bai xianyong's "Flower Bridge Rongji", the theme is that the youth love song ended in a mess.
The supporting role is still like this, but what about the protagonist?
Li Tang, Ding Meixi, Lin Yu.
This "three-man game" is even more subtly floating.
The two lurk down to get married and have children, which is the task sent by the above. But the accumulation of time, the obvious long-term affection, everything they do shows that they still have humanity.
After playing with other men, the first thing you do is brush your teeth.
Notice the look in her eyes at this moment.
The helplessness of having to go out of the task, the disgust of the sex ghost, and the guilt of Li Tang are all mixed in.
Li Tang on the other side.
Finding that the bedside umbrella has disappeared (meaning that the wife has gone on a mission), the mood is complicated.
Frown, purse, ponder, and finally return to calm.
disgrace?
No, it's the burden of humiliation.
Always buried, held back, never said that the wife's is not, and even subconsciously avoided.
Ding Meixi suspected her daughter's early love, checked the small umbrella at the head of the bed, and Li Tang's first reaction was -- "no less."
Of course, these words were said to Ding Meixi, which made her relax her heart.
But it is not self-hypnosis.
Turn your head- hold up the head book, Wang Yangming's "Records of Transmission and Practice", painstakingly studying how to "remove human desires".
Sarcasm.
You are the middle-aged uncle "Li Tang", I am still charming, still able to kill the four sides of the "Ding Meixi", actor Tan Zhuo in order to show the poor wife still can not be underestimated, designed a sir has not seen the action to "hook up" the prey, so that the audience believe that she can fight.
"Straw killing" - tilting his head and holding the straw of the canned herbal tea with the corner of his mouth, the sense of lust made the engineer sitting on fire.
Who is he?
This is the design that was not picked up until the finale, Lin Yu.
It turned out that the secretary Chen portrayed by Ding Meixi and Liu Weiwei was essentially a type of woman, although the business was exquisite and the aura was strong, but it was strong in the outside world.
In the bones is a weak and restless, fragile and difficult self.
Secretary Chen committed suicide because of his mother's cheating, and Ding was born in a patriarchal family, was falsely accused of stealing money and was almost beaten to death by his mother in front of the whole village, and entered the special training class and was sexually assaulted by Secretary Chen's lover to complete the "homework": lose the "sexual shame".
For eighteen years, their "work" and life, family affection and love, regret and anger, are all mixed together.
Recently Sir saw a sentence:
"Actors play roles to play their weaknesses."
From spy dramas to life dramas to love dramas that require detailed tasting, the four actors Guo Jingfei, Tan Zhuo, Yan Bingyan and Ning Li can play with ease, that is, they all grasp the "weaknesses" of the characters with professional instincts and solid accumulation.
These weaknesses stand up to the characters and reach us.
Of course there are "counterexamples":
In contrast, the "youth trio" under Duan Yingjiu is too small, the performance is childish, the plot is chicken ribs, and it almost slips into the cliché of the green doll.
However, the overall flaws are not hidden.
Li Tang, who loves to drink Kung Fu tea, often says a sentence:
Annoyance is like drinking tea, drinking slowly, drinking less.
As with the temperament of "Opponent":
The surface is plain, carefully pondered and the aftertaste is long, a middle-aged spy carries fear, shame and poverty, and these pressures are classified into the daily day after day to pick up customers and collect money, go home to eat, read and sleep.
The meaning of life is determined by probability.
The mundane of high probability stabilizes the small probability of accidents and suddenness.
The opponent of the vast majority of people is not who it is, it is themselves, they get along with themselves, they use themselves as methods, and they live their own meaning.
And the opponent of "Opponent" is not a national drama peer.
Nowadays, a large number of national drama markets are filled with industrial fast food, artificial saccharin, and assembly line additives.
This is a kung fu tea worth slowing down.
It is true that there is less to drink and drink.
