Spy drama has always been the most popular theme in domestic dramas, and its characteristics are "shallow to see shallow, deep to see deep".
If you use it as entertainment, then the "cat and mouse game" staged by the enemy and us in the spy war drama will make you enjoy it tirelessly;
If you think of it as a serious drama, the complexity of office politics and human nature reflected in the play will also make you gain a lot.
In Pigo's view, it is not the protagonist who is born into death who determines the success or failure of the spy drama, but the villain in the play, and the interpretation of this role is very difficult.
First of all, the ability value and charm value of this character are at least equal to the protagonist, or even one stop stronger, so as to create a sense of oppression for the audience and enhance the tension of the plot;
Secondly, this villain cannot be too perfect, otherwise the protagonist's plan cannot be carried out at all, which means that he still has to be confused at the key juncture and let the protagonist go.
Finally, when this character is confused, he must also act reasonably, and will not make people have a sudden sense of sudden descent.
In short, the big villain in the spy war drama is Zhuge Liang most of the time, occasionally reduced to a stinky cobbler, and the two have to be seamlessly switched, so that people can't see the flaws, which is difficult to imagine.
Therefore, a successful spy drama, the lower limit is decided by the decent protagonist, but what can really raise the upper limit is often the play of the villain role in the play.
Looking back at the classic spy dramas in the long river of domestic dramas, each work will have such a successfully shaped "villain", who have left a deep impression on the audience.
Although they are all villains, there are worlds of differences between different villains, from personality background to means of acting.
Today, we will give a name to the eight "most powerful villains" in the mainland spy drama.
Look at these characters, in the history of spy dramas, what position they are in, who is high and who is low, and what kind of tricks "killer skills" they have.
Eighth place: "Rebel" Chen Moqun (played by Wang Yang)
Rank: Gold
Killer skill: the vision is like a torch, one hit is hit
In this year's hot drama "The World of Man", the warm man Cai Xiaoguang is called "the ideal of the world", and his actor Wang Yang has also lived his ideal through hard work.
Wang Yang, as an acting school, is a bit late, and in previous years, he was still familiar with variety shows to find performance opportunities, and since starring in "Rebel", his light has finally been seen by everyone.
In "Rebel", Wang Yang played Chen Moqun, the station chief of the Shanghai Office of the Kuomintang Secret Service Section, who at first glance was a villain, but he interpreted this role as flesh and blood, and there were countless fans.
Chen Moqun in the play always has a posture of looking at the world, and is called "drag king" by the audience, he wears a straight suit, with the charm of a mature man, and even steals the limelight of Zhu Yilong.
But don't look at his unruly appearance, but in fact, he is a master of careful thinking.
In the selection of talents, he gave up Zuo Qiuming, who had better grades, and promoted Lin Nansheng, who had stronger observation;
During the torture to extract confessions, he used poisonous means and used an empty gun to destroy the prisoner's will, and hit it with one blow;
In the face of the younger brother Lin Nansheng, he is extremely loving and protective, a big brother's style, very warm.
On the outside, he can play with the temptation of subduing, and on the inside, he can be considerate to his subordinates, and such a villain is more endearing than the decent person who fakes the big void.
Seventh place: "Kite" Han Bing (played by Luo Haiqiong)
Rank: Platinum
Killer: Top Camouflage, Die Wait 40 Years
In spy dramas, female characters are often foils.
It is either the protagonist's Kenuchisuke, or a confidant with a red face, or a thorny rose.
Only in "Kite", Liu Yunlong used the setting of the two males to elevate the female characters to an unprecedented height.
Zheng Yao, played by Liu Yunlong, was first a member of our party, and his code name "Kite" lurked in the Chongqing military command, carrying out tasks, with a sinister and fierce appearance, but a heart that was introverted and stoic enough.
Han Bing, played by Luo Haiqiong, is an agent of the Kuomintang, and she is code-named "Shadow" who lurks to the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance section as a female section chief, and is strong.
Therefore, the good and evil sides came up with a "spy war version" of "Infernal Affairs" in the hot land of Yan'an with dislocated new identities.
In the end, Han Bing revealed her identity, and when she was dying of old age, she took poison and decided to die.
Han Bing, played by Luo Haiqiong, is more controversial, and in the first scene of Yan'an, she always speaks upright, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, and only gradually enters a better situation later.
In the face of doubts, Liu Yunlong confirmed that Han Bing used Luo Haiqiong's own voice in the play, but she herself spoke inappropriately, and it was Liu Yunlong who asked her to speak that way during filming, because the female cadres in Yan'an used this somewhat exaggerated tone.
And after the broadcast of "Kite", many old cadres also praised Luo Haiqiong's accurate performance to restore their memories of their youth.
It can be seen that Luo Haiqiong's performance can stand up to scrutiny, but the focus of "Kite" is not the spy war part, so the villain played by Luo Haiqiong is not much, and it is still much inferior compared with other big bosses.
Sixth place: "Latent" Li Ya (played by Zu Feng)
Rank: Diamond
Killer: "007" standby, staring is dead bite
Zu Feng played Li Ya in "Latent", a villain who is perfect, perfect enough to lack humanity.
Li Ya and Yu Zecheng are the opposite of a pair of coins.
He and Yu Zecheng were of the same age, and when he was admitted to the elite Qingpu Special Training Class, he also participated in the Battle of Jinshanwei and was an outstanding youth representative.
Yu Zecheng was only admitted to the ordinary telecommunications class, and then performed field work, witnessed the corruption of the Kuomintang, and his own morale was not high, so he was completely gone and gradually marginalized.
But Li Ya's personality has a great flaw, that is, there is no human touch, he lurked in Yan'an after that, he should have heard about the power of the people, but what he complained about was that the food was not good, and the 32-year-old had been single, which showed that this person was extremely difficult to get along with.
Later, at Tianjin Station, Li Ya and Yu Zecheng met in a narrow way, but the encounters in their lives have changed dramatically.
Yu Zecheng is an eight-faced exquisite, while lurking, while helping Wu station manager to make money, while also with several heroines to spread gossip, life is extremely colorful.
Li Ya was different, he became a workaholic, he slept in the office for many years in Tianjin Station, he only had a task in his heart, every time he appeared, his body was in a state of bow, waiting for the prey to appear.
Although the ability is strong, such a person has a tendon and recognizes the reason for death.
Later, the general environment changed, and the Kuomintang top brass began to collect wealth everywhere to prepare for fleeing Taiwan, and Li Ya was still helping to catch the internal ghosts all day long, and did everything he could to be thankless.
People like Li Ya are destined to hit a wall in the workplace, and there is a scene in the play where Yu Zecheng rushed forward to slap him, and Li Ya sat there paralyzed and shed tears, which made people feel sad.
As a villain, Li Ya is not enough to view the overall situation, he can only be a thug, he can't be a big brother, he can only charge into the front, he can't strategize.
Zu Feng looks elegant, the role he plays is itself eye-catching, and he vividly explains to us the daily life of a workaholic, such a role is really love and hate.
Fifth place: "No Regrets Tracking" Feng Jingbo (Played by: Wang Zhiwen)
Rank: Diamond
Killer: Gou, gou
Wang Zhiwen is recognized as the god of acting, in his years of fighting, he played more of a number of sharp positive characters, but in the 1995 spy drama "No Regret Tracking", he played a villain who endured humiliation and burden.
At that time, there was actually no concept of spy drama, "Tracking Without Regrets" was strictly a secret service drama, and Wang Zhiwen played the Kuomintang agent Feng Jingbo.
In the current spy drama, the villain will definitely fight with the protagonists, but Feng Jingbo in this drama is just the opposite, and his way to survive is one word: "Gou".
The beginning of the whole drama is in 1949 new China, Feng Jingbo, as a secret agent, survived the most difficult years, he was rated as an active member of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, married and had children, became a teacher, and then in the next few decades he was promoted to principal, almost whitewashed into an ordinary citizen of the republic.
However, behind his ordinary life, there has always been a pair of eyes staring at him, And Xiao Dali, a police officer at the police station played by Liu Peiqi, met Feng Jingbo as early as the mass parade in 1949 and doubted his identity, and has been struggling to find evidence.
So the tense and exciting cat and mouse game became a protracted love and killing, in the long 40 years, we followed the footsteps of the two to witness the growth of new China, the hatred of the past eventually softened into gentle reflection, Feng Jingbo finally chose to turn himself in the company of his children.
"Tracking Without Regrets" is the predecessor of spy dramas, which itself is more inclined to secret service dramas or period dramas, slow pace is its biggest feature, and Feng Jingbo, as a villain, also interprets the modern history in the eyes of a secret agent in the most instigated way.
Fourth place: "No War in Peking" Xu Tieying (played by Chen Baoguo)
Rank: Star Shine
Killer: The face of an unpredictable fox, using power to open the way
Chen Baoguo has thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of breath in speech, strong aura, is a standard handsome uncle, he often plays the emperor in film and television dramas, and is an imperial professional household.
"No War in Peiping" can be called the spy war version of "The Name of the People", when this drama was first launched, it brought together eight film emperors such as Liu Ye, Liao Fan, Wang Qingxiang, Chen Baoguo, etc., and almost every supporting role was a drama bone, which can be called a feast of acting skills.
However, when Chen Baoguo appeared, he had a big boss temperament, and Wang Jinsong was standing like a in front of him.
Because they are accustomed to playing positive characters, many people initially regard Xu Tieying, played by Chen Baoguo, as a good person.
At the beginning, he appeared in court to defend the protagonist Fang Meng'ao, a messenger of justice.
Finally, a team of five was formed and flew to Peiping to investigate the problem of corruption.
Chen Baoguo's lines are sonorous and powerful, and many viewers are deceived by the false mask he wears.
However, with the deepening of the plot, Xu Tieying's fox tail was revealed.
It turned out that the reason why he defended the protagonist was to accept a bribe from Cui Zhongshi; when investigating corruption, he was most concerned about his 20% stake; after being caught by Ma Hanshan, he arrested Ma Hanshan with a public instrument for private use; for selfish desires, he betrayed his colleague Chen Jinglun and sacrificed the most poisonous move.
Xu Tieying played with power and was corrupt, but his heart was very calm, he felt that in the party-state, these means belong to basic operations, you are not greedy, others will be greedy.
It is precisely because of his strong heart that Xu Tieying will unswervingly be a two-faced person, while investigating corruption, and frantically amassing wealth.
In the film, he often has large monologues, such as the 12-minute long 12-minute line show in 46 episodes, he single-handedly holds up the whole play, and shows the ugly face of the anti-thief leader in front of the audience, and the rhythm of the whole play is brought up by Xu Tieying and Ma Hanshan.
Third place: "Cliff" Gao Bin (Played by: Cheng Yu)
Rank: Star Shine
Killer: Repeated torture, one second to change the face
In the TV series "Cliff", the old drama bone Cheng Yu performed the villain to a new height.
In other spy dramas, the big boss is either very deep in the city and turns a blind eye to the lurker, or he is benevolent and can still treat him with courtesy even if he knows the identity of the lurker.
And Gao Bin in "Cliff" is different, he is fierce to the bone.
Let's first look at the background of this person, who worked in the Harbin secret service, had a good friendship with several Japanese, and later became loyal to Emperor Puyi and unswervingly followed the path of Japanese-Manchurian cooperation.
When Zhou Yi, played by Zhang Jiayi, was included in his command, what awaited him was a test of life and death.
It is reasonable to say that Zhou Yi is smooth enough to do things, and his own behavior is not leaky, and his wife Gu Qiuyan is also trying to do a good job in the relationship with Gao Bin's wife, but this can not impress Gao Bin's heart in the slightest.
Gao Bin didn't care whether you were undercover or loyal, he suspected everyone, as a means of leading his management was to engage in nest fighting, so that the people below were suspicious of each other, and after the internal friction, he would sit more securely in the position of the secret service section.
The biggest pleasure when watching this drama is to watch Gao Bin's face-changing show, one second he was still at home with a smiley face and Zhou Yi and his wife greetings, the next second he closed the door and looked gloomy, calling his subordinates to ask for an investigation of each other's details, such a chameleon performance in the whole play is too numerous to list.
Zhou Yi has worked under him for many years, but he also confessed that he has never really communicated with him, And Gao Bin's whole method is very similar to a cat scratching a rat, grabbing and releasing, tightening and sending it again, repeatedly torturing you until your inner collapse, such a villain makes people shudder.
2nd Place: "Before Dawn" Tan Zhongshu (Played by Lin Yongjian)
Rank: Star Shine
Killer skills: pull relationships, talk about human feelings
The most amazing role in "Before Dawn" is not Wu Xiubo, but Lin Yongjian, who plays the villain Tan Zhongshu.
Lin Yongjian is a well-known comedian, before starring in this play, his most well-known image was the 2005 Spring Festival Gala sketch "Decoration", in which he dressed as a woman, making people laugh.
When I learned that he starred as the villain of the spy drama, many people like me refused at the first time, but after chasing the whole drama, everyone was conquered by Lin Yongjian's acting skills, and he even stole the limelight of the protagonist Wu Xiubo.
The best thing about Lin Yongjian is that he performs the human touch of the big villain.
In fact, the screenwriter gave this character sex from the name.
Tan Zhongshu, "loyalty" represents loyalty.
Old Tan was first loyal to his own party-state, he had never changed, and second, loyal to his family, he loved his wife and protected his children, and he could be called a model husband.
And "forgiveness" represents forgiveness, and only by knowing enough about people can we reach this state.
In the unit, he is a good leader, and his opponents are as enthusiastic as brothers, especially for the protagonist Liu Xinjie, who later knew that Xinjie was undercover, but he still treated him with brotherhood, and this open-mindedness made people move.
It can be said that Lin Yongjian played this big villain with a decent way, and after watching this drama, many people were deeply impressed by Tan Zhongshu's personality charm, but it also showed from the side that the corruption of a political party cannot be changed by one or two benevolent people.
First Prize: "Latent" Wu Jingzhong (Played by Feng Enhe)
Rank: Champion
Killer: Pretending to be confused
I believe that many people see the title and think of the first place candidate.
Yes, he is the station manager of Wu Jingzhong in "Latent".
It is no exaggeration to say that "Latent" has become a divine work, and our Wu station manager has half the credit, he ranks second, I am afraid that no one dares to rank first.
After "Latent", almost all the villains of spy dramas have the shadow of Wu Station Chief, but none of them can grasp the essence of Wu Station Chief.
In fact, the characteristics of Wu Station Manager can be summed up in three words: pretending to be confused.
He was tolerant of Yu Zecheng to the point of being numb, and Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan, and Li Ya around him fell one after another to rule out all the wrong answers, and Wu Station Commander should have suspected Yu Zecheng's head.
However, he had great trust in Yu Zecheng.
Later, the Kuomintang had already won or failed, and Wu Station Commander was still giving Yu Zecheng a trick to let him go to the United States and not to go to Taiwan, otherwise there would be no good end. The earnestness of the words is touching.
Some viewers even wrote a paragraph to ridicule Wu Station Chief's "pretending to be confused".
Wu Station Commander said to Yu Zecheng leisurely, "Now there are only two of us left, and I suspect that I am the Emei Peak." ”
Ridicule is ridicule, but Wu Station Manager's practice actually practices the wisdom of "rare and confused" life, and we can get the answer by carefully analyzing it.
In the play, Wu Station Manager and Yu Zecheng have a dialogue.
Wu said: "Sincere cooperation to defend the leader." I have studied these eight words for fifteen years, from the Revival Society to the present. ”
Yu Zecheng asked him what had come out of his research.
Station Master Wu said: "People do not perish for their own sake. ”
It can be seen that Wu and Yu Zecheng have experienced the disillusionment of idealism.
In his early years, Yu Zecheng was in the Kuomintang camp, where he witnessed the corruption of the Kuomintang, and then abandoned the secret to join our party and became a lurker.
In the early years, Wu Station Manager was also full of ideals, but later he saw more corruption and completely abandoned his ideals, and all his energy was doing one thing: making money.
Among his younger brothers, only Yu Zecheng served him most comfortably.
You look at Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan and the like, the undercover can find his station master's head, embarrassing and useful;
If you look at Li Ya's generation, he is capable and dedicated enough, but he is loyal to the party-state and prioritizes loyalty to himself, and staying around is also a scourge.
Only Yu Zecheng, who knows that "to be loyal to the party and the state, we must first be loyal to the chief", to help ourselves to earn money, to carry a black pot, and to wipe our butts, it is simply omnipotent, so confidant, how can we not love.
Did Wu Suspect Yu Zecheng? Of course doubted.
But he knew that the changing situation of the times was irreversible, not by pulling out a Yu Zecheng could change, and moreover, he and Yu Zecheng had become grasshoppers tied to a rope later, he could only save himself if he could only protect Yu Zecheng, and it didn't matter whether Yu Zecheng was surnamed Gong or not.
Actor Feng Enhe played Wu Station Manager's kind of worldly affairs thoroughly, lifting weights, and silent city government to life, we all laughed at Wu Station Manager's stupidity, but think about it carefully, the rest of the villains in the whole play were killed, Yu Zecheng fled to Taiwan is also nine deaths, only Wu Station Chief is the final big winner.
Well, the above is the ranking of the eight villains of the spy war drama, is it in line with your expectations? Tell Pigo!
