In 2005, Li Youbin's "Bright Sword" is a classic of a generation, the drama combines combat art and legend, and the vivid and vivid character image is also impressive.
Until now, the two words "bright sword" have gone out of the circle and become a spirit of facing difficulties.
This drama still has a good score of 9.4 points on Douban, which is a rare classic in the national drama war drama.
After 16 years, Li Youbin appeared in an online movie, that is, "Life and Death Block".
The film also invited Zhang Guangbei, when Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei appeared at the same time, this pair of "love and kill" rivals still brought memories to the audience to kill.
However, this movie is not to be compared to "Bright Sword".
On Maoyan Pro, the number of viewers is only more than 3.29 million.
Word of mouth can be described in a word, in the popular comment area of Douban, there are too many bad reviews.
Some netizens even pointed out that this movie is not an "anti-Japanese drama", but a "anti-Japanese god shadow".
How "godly" is this movie?
This is also a war-themed movie, the story takes place after the Hundred Regiments War, the devils are sweeping, and our army has to transfer the people and villagers here.
Lee Jerry, played by Li Youbin, and the battalion commander Lu Tianze, as well as company commander Huang Changjun, were responsible for this arduous task, using Majiapu as a base to block the attack.
This time, Li Youbin and Zhang Guangbei can finally "join hands" to fight.
In terms of plot setting and story background, "Life and Death Blocking" and "Bright Sword" still have great similarities.
In terms of combat weapons, a lot of upgrades and improvements have been made.
There are long guns and short guns, machine guns, artillery, and the scene of blowing up bunkers, which also meets the visual pursuit of many audiences.
It seems that it is still very "suitable" for the Broadcast of the National Day file.
However, careful analysis, you will find that this drama has a lot of logical inconsistencies, simply put, it is not out of the previous anti-Japanese god film and mode.
Fighting with devils, there is still a big gap in equipment, and the fighting spirit in the movie is also worth encouraging, but using flesh and blood to resist other people's armor and tanks is still a very powerful "god".
In the past, Yan Shuangying was like this, although there was no crotch hidden thunder, and the stones hit the plane, but it was unreasonable.
Our soldiers are brave in battle, and they are very wise, willing to use their heads, and they fight in a disciplined manner, and they will never be strong and "rampage.".
Let's compare the national drama masterpiece "Bright Sword", which is the same war theme, and when the two are put together, the gap will come out.
Li Yunlong is a living person with distinct advantages and disadvantages.
He was well versed in the art of war, claiming not to lose the battle, and such a person would also experience the tragic death of his brother and the killing of more than three hundred villagers together.
His own wife, who was also taken away on the wedding night, has the helplessness and frustration of ordinary people, which is true enough.
It is precisely because the IQ of the villain is enough to be "online" that it can reflect the difficulty and difficulty of our army's victory in the war.
There are also many tactical presentations in the TV series, such as when attacking The county seat of Ping'an, Li Yunlong once let the soldiers hold out for eight hours.
Under the siege of the enemy's powerful firepower, we also ran out of ammunition, and finally only five people were left, and we had to die with the only explosives and the Japanese, which was the real spirit of the bright sword.
Li Yunlong once said a sentence, in the face of a strong enemy, knowing that it is invincible, we must also resolutely show our swords.
The bright sword spirit we just talked about is actually part of the combat effectiveness.
In fact, in battle, the competition is not only equipment, force, but also the spirit of our soldiers' tenacious resistance and death, which is the most important part, and it is also a level of guiding significance for the current audience.
Napoleon during the French Revolution also highly affirmed the importance of spirit.
He said, "There are two invincible forces in the world, the sword and the spirit, and in the long run, the spirit is stronger and more powerful than the sword." ”
Looking at the battles of our army, the long march to seize the Luding Bridge, the forced crossing of the Dadu River, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the three major battles in the War of Liberation, the Changjin Lake to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and so on, all of them relied on the spirit of fighting to win victories.
In addition to the plot, the characters are also a fairly important part.
When the TV series creates positive characters, it does not "reduce the wisdom" of the negative characters.
It talks more about military integrity, national righteousness, and the spirit of the times.
In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong's personal image is too vivid, they are no longer flattened, facial characters in previous works, they will not "fall from the sky" like divine soldiers, but heroes with flesh and blood and character defects.
Cheerful personality, grumpy, will play rogue, sometimes a few rude words, scolding people is not soft.
But it does not make the audience feel annoying, but feels cute and domineering.
Even the characters played by Actors such as He Zhengjun, Zhang Guangbei, and Zhang Tong are multi-faceted and extremely vivid.
You know, these characters have always starred, but they are all righteous tough guy images.
It is also this kind of reality that makes the audience have a lot more sense of substitution.
In "Life and Death Blocking", Li Youbin, who is already 63 years old, appeared again and has completely changed his appearance.
The film renders the emotions of the characters, the emotional aspect is still in place, and the spirit of the protagonist has also touched many people.
But in history, such an old age rarely appears in the ranks of grass-roots officers, which inevitably makes the audience a little dramatic.
It was really white blind Li Youbin, Zhang Guangbei.
Some audiences are very distressed, and the spirit of the old drama bones to live to the old is indeed worthy of praise and learning, but the war film also needs the injection of fresh blood.
Today's tough guys, there is no shortage of old drama bones, nor is there a shortage of mesozoic generation, but the new generation that can carry the box office and ratings is very few, which makes people sigh.
Fortunately, he was able to create a vivid character like Li Yunlong;
It's a pity that he can't create a character like Li Yunlong anymore!
