How long has it been since you watched a new anti-war drama?
I know, what do you want to say, anti-war drama, or anti-war drama?
Is it different? Or, in other words, can the anti-war drama still produce hard goods?
Today's film is worth knowing - "The End of the Smoke", tonight, Tencent Video.
Two men, riding high-headed horses, "killed" back.
In front of the camera, Zhang Han. Is it that Zhang Han? That's right, I know what you're trying to say. Don't worry --
Then there was another man, hiding behind the camera, sitting in the director's chair that—Lian Yiming.
Yes, it is the actor and excellent director, who has filmed dramas such as "The World Under Chang'an", "Big Knife", "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City" and so on, and the camera always carries a bloody domestic hard-core director, Lian Yiming.
But, there was a third man, the drunkard.
A member of the Chinese Writers Association and a mentor of the first Online Literature League, this drama is adapted from his novel of the same name. The original work was the first work of the "2015 Excellent Online Literature Original Works Promotion Activity" organized by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, with more than 20 million hits on the whole network. It is no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most popular stories among netizens in the theme of the War of Resistance.
These three men got together to have this man on the screen - Zhang Songling, a standard hero in the Great Patriotic War drama.
It is not a secret, after brushing a number of trailers, the subject matter is a bit "cold", but the quality is hard enough.
It can be premonitioned: this smoke is going to be surprisingly successful.
The "webcast battle" of this anti-war drama will also be just like in the play: burning, hard, new.
Can we create a new road for the anti-war drama? Let's go to the end of the smoke and see what's going on.
1, the scene, burning: Lian Yiming shot, classic novel adaptation, this taste is positive
The trailer was suppressed at the beginning.
3 minutes, "an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood".
The opening scene is the smoke.
It can be seen that the biggest difference in the action scenes of this drama is that there are various scenes of heroes on the grasslands who resist the Japanese army.
In the last second, the morning sun, the horse, the pride.
The next second, it took a sharp turn.
The city is broken and the people are dead.
Before I could react, the Japanese besieged the city and laid an ambush on ten sides.
Next second, 3. 2。 1。
Bombing - Japanese air raid cover, "heavy rain" fell on our army trenches.
The camera shook like an earthquake, and the soldiers were instantly overwhelmed by artillery fire.
Scared? I'm afraid he won't come.
Listen to what Jin Shijie said in that dialogue- "Drumming and raising the account--".
Here comes the guns. Because "the mountains and rivers are magnificent, it is not allowed to sit back and watch the Japanese trample on them wantonly." ”
Even those who have watched the Yiming Anti-War Drama know that this actor-turned-director is the best at reviewing history with small characters and big scenes. Action dramas, thrilling scenes, have never been lacking; the characteristics of small people have spread in this battlefield of smoke and smoke.
It can also be seen that the action scenes of the series were filmed and made a big move.
Several major battles will be restored in the play. For example, it recreates the most realistic Northern Jin-Cha-Ji Patriotic War, and comprehensively shows the classical cavalry fighting style with Mongolian characteristics.
How to play wonderfully? One shot and you get it.
War broke out, and the two sides faced each other.
Zhang Han shouted, Brothers, guys.
After a few shots back. Hold your breath, concentrate, the background sound disappears, time freezes.
Then, the cavalry lined up, charged, killed the heavens, and the brave men defended the country. Cruel and explosive.
Just for the few war scenes shown in the film, it has not lost the war blockbuster in terms of audiovisual shock.
We all looked down on the action scenes of the anti-war drama, which were vulgar, rough and chaotic.
When I watched the action scenes in the film, I didn't get distracted.
Even if it is a small screen, it can also let you feel at close range what is called death battle, fierce battle.
Explosion soared —
Our army, the horse, the whip; the Japanese army, the gunfire is continuous.
Distance contraction -
From guns, to bayonets, to short blades, to hand-to-hand combat with bare hands.
Spatial span -
Jin-Cha-Ji ran all over the place, the scorching sun was in the air, and the battle was until the sun set.
The scene is brutal. But the audience felt the blood and anger from the words, actions and expressions of the defenders. The words "the rise and fall of the country, the responsibility of the puppeteer" are perfectly condensed on the warriors.
Behind the big scenes, there is big history. and characters from history.
In the story, the situation in North China was urgent, and the Japanese army was preparing to launch an all-out war of aggression against China. On the eve of the wedding ceremony between Zhang Songling, a talented man who is famous in BlackStone Village, Chahar Province, and his lover were tragically framed by traitors and his family was destroyed.
Zhang Songling thought bitterly and resolutely joined the army. Notice that the military uniforms in Zhang Han's plays, in the early days, were the uniforms of the Nationalist army.
But later, it became the uniform of the communist guerrillas.
When he gloriously joined the Communist Party of China and became the leader of the guerrilla group and the backbone of the red anti-Japanese armed forces, he really found his mission, led the team to unite the people, fought wits and courage with the aggressors and traitors, and finally succeeded in driving the invaders out of the grassland.
Compared with the original work, the famous screenwriter Lang Nuolin pays more attention to the close interweaving of personal fate and grand historical events, and watching the plot makes me think of a word - "youth anti-war drama".
Young, with blood, "No matter how difficult this battle is, we will, sworn to die." ”
Charge forward, move forward, slash at the devil's head with a large knife...
A charge under the gaze of death began.
2, starring, hard: Zhang Han transformation, four major strength factions to help, give me a fight
I know that for Zhang Han, you will have worries.
After all, the hegemonic person is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after "Wolf Warrior 2", can he really act in a good anti-war drama?
But there is Lian Yiming's ability to adjust, and Zhang Han, the "former overlord", did not drop the chain this time.
As soon as you appear, first get rid of the brilliance of the idol drama, and walk the stage in the fire of war. Does not exist, to play a warrior, you must have a warrior-like, Zhang Han in the play, often gray-headed, bearded, full of vicissitudes, "steppe cavalry" rough, there is.
Some people may ask, why use Zhang Han?
Last old drama bone, can't you? Not really.
Because the protagonist of this drama, Zhang Songling, is a standard growth type role. Homelessness caused by war, and it continues to grow in the fire of war. In the early stage, there was confusion and recklessness, and later there was a general's wind.
After several arduous battles, he befriended various heroes Haojie, bravely defended the country all the way, and through the experience on the battlefield, he became an anti-Japanese fighter with both wisdom and courage, and finally became a communist fighter who defended national peace.
This role, full of blood, very charming, the student period is full of spirit, abandoning the pen from the rong after the edges and angles, even Yiming if 20 years younger, he can play, put now, Zhang Han acting, just right.
But this drama is by no means a personal epic.
Just like the spoiler that the title of the play gives to the audience: where the smoke is over, it will inevitably "bathe in blood".
For the cruelty of war, the series does not have the slightest intention of hiding it.
Many large scenes can already convey this shock.
And the place where the creators work hardest is precisely in the cruelty. Fear is not the Allah corner of war.
Cruelty is only a prelude. The key is what kind of person you become after experiencing cruelty?
Another solemn introduction to the following, the first strength of the play - director Lian Yiming.
Born as an actor, he is famous for his ability to portray hot-blooded characters in anti-war dramas.
Lian Yiming was well known to the audience for starring in "Blood Romance", and he starred in a number of film and television works with the theme of the War of Resistance, all of which were tough guys.
In 2005, he directed "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", and since then he has been able to stop shooting works such as "Who is the Real Hero" and "All over the World". Recognized as an all-rounder in the film and television circle, playing a tough guy, the style of the work, but also reveals a big hard word, the male hero role created, is also hard enough. It is also because of the actor's origin, tuning the actor, is a must.
This time, he found two major factions of strength, not only to let people face the cruel battlefield, but also to present people who have fluctuated with the fate of the times.
The first, Jiao Junyan. The character of the play, one word, sa.
A simple power suit, an inconspicuous little hat, with a good marksmanship to kill the enemy, a veritable hero.
Over the years, Jiao Junyan became famous by starring in "Meet Wang Lichuan", and since then the role has become more and more tough. In "Forensic Qin Ming", Li Dabao, who walks with the wind, is the proof of her acting skills.
This time, there is still a modern woman's independence and courage.
Not only as a nurse to provide logistical help, but also to personally go into battle to kill the enemy. The big characters are illiterate, the female red will not, but the scarf will not let the eyebrows be raised, and when they see the beloved guy, they will chase it.
In this play, she and Zhang Han do have emotional dramas, but rest assured, they are not greasy at all, their sugar is the hard candy of fighting the enemy hand in hand in war!
This sugar, I'm willing to bump.
The second, Wei Ding, played by Jin Shijie, is a word, Zhong.
An old talent with great ambitions and unique vision, the most exemplary person in the play is him.
In the trailer, the sonorous and powerful recitation is that he forced Zhang Songling to practice a strong physique and accurate marksmanship, and it was also him.
In the face of the Japanese drama surrounded, under the muzzle of the gun, it is still him who talks and laughs freely.
When you are dying, you must also say a happy and happy, say well, and you will be on the road.
That's it? Not only that, but also Peng Weiwei, played by Yamei, who regretted missing out with the male protagonist under the chaos of the war.
Put on the cheongsam and curl your hair, there is also strength in the weakness, and you are a model.
There is the dazzling pearl on the grassland played by Guo Ziqian, the queen of the tribe.
There is a male protagonist brother with a diverse and complex personality played by Liu Changde.
Also, traitors who defect to the enemy on the battlefield.
The battlefield is crossed, and the true colors of heroes are revealed.
Each character has left its own mark in the torrent of the times, connecting the entire history with individual fate, they have flesh and blood, vivid and full, and together they paint a picture of the chaotic world and a vivid human world.
Only when the muzzle of the gun is pointed at the head can we really see the bloodiness of a person, whether it depends on what is said or done.
All generous sacrifices, not war machines, not cold names. It's people.
People, each has its own vulnerability. But some instigated and surrendered.
Some people would rather die than yield, sacrifice, and become martyrs.
There are also people, such as the protagonist of this play, put on military uniforms and work to the end.
"Although a hundred deaths, do not heel". At the end of the smoke, he is a true hero.
3. Anti-War Drama, New: "Bright Sword" 17 years, anti-war drama should have something new
Some people will ask, if it is a good drama, why not go to the stars?
But many viewers should find that the anti-war dramas on the stars have become less, and for the platform, the love dramas starring traffic stars and the middle-aged family ethics dramas starring the acting school are more stable and more drought and flood protection.
And the anti-war drama, broadcast well, although it is good, it is not good, it is easy to be scolded, and over time, there is a phenomenon that high-quality dramas will also be shelved.
Fortunately, because the lineup of this drama can eventually be launched on the genuine video platform.
Don't underestimate the anti-war dramas, when the traffic is increasingly concentrated on idol dramas and female dramas, this kind of hard-line anti-war dramas, the audience is really many.
The question is only whether the drama can withstand the test of the audience of war dramas and anti-war dramas.
Once passed, the potential is huge, don't forget, until now, Shandong Satellite TV, Liaoning Satellite TV broadcast "Bright Sword", can still enter the ratings list, the vitality of anti-war dramas, can never be underestimated.
So why are anti-war dramas gradually disappearing from our screens?
Why don't you think about it, after "Bright Sword", how long have we not seen a real high-quality anti-war drama?
How many so-called anti-war dramas, in the name of anti-war dramas, sell idol dramas.
As a result, it disgusted the audience.
Over time, the type recedes.
However, bad money should not drive out good money, there are really good goods, and they should not be buried.
"The End of the Smoke" can't work, watch it yourself, but you can be sure that Lian Yiming's drama will not make an idol drama under the banner of war drama, nor will it tarnish the name of the anti-war drama, and his anti-war drama is bloody.
Although this time, the protagonist is younger, what he wants is not a war idol drama, but a chaotic cloud low twilight, rapid snow dancing back to the wind.
It's a tense task, a chaotic situation, a drifting fate. As well as the choice of a generation of young people under the turbulence of fate.
It is the blood that is alive and will not be obscured by smoke and time.
It is a verse in the "West Wind Scroll", "Everywhere the smoke is sung, the spring and autumn are sung, and the red news is happy and forgetful." ”
Therefore, I think it is worth recommending this drama to you.
Good anti-war dramas will never disappear, the wind rises, bad dramas scatter, and the fresh and cute faces in the smoke, the audience will automatically come forward to recognize each other, better than all words.
