In recent years, there are indeed not many good spy war dramas that can be called, after all, spy war dramas are difficult to shoot, the production cost is still high, and it tests the acting skills of the actors.
Therefore, following the masterpieces such as "The Pretender", "Lurking" and "Kite" in previous years, it is difficult to have a spy war drama that is applauded and popular.
If you have to say, it may be that 2021's "Rebel" can barely be regarded as above the passing line, and to a certain extent, it has also set off a boom in the whole people's dramas.
In addition, actors Zhu Yilong, Wang Yang, Wang Zhiwen and other powerful actors also added a lot to the play.
And speaking of actors, the current hit spy war drama "Infernal" filled the audience's expectations at the beginning.
Zhang Zhijian, Wang Zhiwen and other old drama bones sit, and the director claims to have been polished and produced for 7 years, which makes people look forward to this drama.
However, after the episode was broadcast, there were continuous bad reviews on Douban, and word of mouth continued to decline, whether it was the plot or the male and female protagonists, which made many people abandon the drama directly after watching the first few episodes.
The comments on Douban are either "the plot is too fake" and "the details are not rigorous enough to withstand scrutiny", or "too embarrassing, the emotional line of the male and female protagonists is faster than the rocket, inexplicable"...
Let's first talk about the plot, the drama "Infernal" tells the story of Lu Feng (played by Jin Dong) who went undercover as a military commander, but then abandoned the secret and turned to our party and maneuvered around as a triple identity.
It is said that such a male protagonist should be very smart and cautious, dripping water, right?
But in reality? The male protagonist is a surprise.
At the beginning, I met the heroine (played by Wang Likun) on the cruise ship, and at this time I didn't know each other, so I met people, staring at the heroine with affection, and I didn't know that I thought they knew each other in private.
And the heroine is the identity of an underground party agent, because her companion was exposed and was asked by the Japanese to search her body, but the heroine, as an agent, wanted to escape under the noses of Japanese soldiers, at this time, the male protagonist decisively went up to heroically save the beauty.
This is nothing, the most surprising thing is that the male protagonist, as a senior agent who has been trained for many years and returned from studying in Japan, saved a beautiful woman who he never knew before the matter was clear, and the wife was too hasty, right?
This is not the end, the male protagonist will eat with the female protagonist, and it is incredible that the senior agent was actually drunk by the female protagonist and woke up after sleeping all night.
The bizarre behavior of the male protagonist makes it difficult to associate the word "agent" with him.
A so-called agent like him, who is unguarded by outsiders, may not even know how he died, right?
And how good is the heroine's performance? Not much better, even more collapsed.
Wang Likun's entire performance, as if everything had nothing to do with herself, her eyes were empty and her expression was dull, where is this female agent, obviously a facial paralysis machine.
The female agent Hua Xiangyu played by Wang Likun in "Infernal" is not only a member of our party, but also a secretary who returned from studying abroad, secretly completing the tasks assigned by her superiors.
Wang Likun is not the first time to play a female agent, she has previously starred in "Agent No. 5", "Qingmang's Prison Break" and so on, so playing a female agent again in "Infernal" should be familiar.
But in reality? But it's so disappointing.
On the cruise ship, she did not have the slightest mood swing in the face of the death of her teammates, and she should have panicked when she faced Little Japan to search for single women on the ship, but her eyes were only wooden, and the close-up gave her past as if she was distracted, with a face full of "Who am I, where am I..."
Moreover, as an agent, when she heard that she was going to be searched, she actually chose to slip away under the noses of Little Japan?
Obviously all were targeted, but she continued to run like a bell, and as always, she had no expression.
After being stopped by Little Japan, there was no explanation, just stood in place, as if he calculated that the male protagonist would definitely come to save her.
The plot progressed to the back, the female protagonist began to date the male protagonist, the female protagonist's performance was more confused, squinting her eyes and saying to the male protagonist with a strange expression "I'm terrible", yes, it is indeed terrible, the expression is terrible, and the acting skills are even more terrifying.
It's really embarrassing to make people want to cut the ground! People have to wonder if Wang Likun has plastic surgery? Why is the face so stiff?
Back to the plot, most of the scenes of the male and female protagonists are in love, but this is obviously a spy war drama, what do the screenwriters and directors think?
Blinded by a group of old drama bones, Zhang Zhijian and Wang Zhiwen both said: This young man can't bring it!
Especially Wang Likun, who was previously known as a plain goddess, couldn't imagine that acting is so stiff now?
A paralyzed face wants to play a female agent, and it is the audience's eyes that are wasted!
It is recommended to learn Song Jia, who plays a female agent in the drama "Cliff".
She is kind and gentle, talented and arrogant, and Song Jia simply played this character alive.
From the expression to the emotion, it is very infectious, and the performance is natural and smooth, with a great sense of layering and substitution.
Let the audience also empathize, can experience the agent for the sake of faith to die outside the degree, brave and firm heroic image.
You can also learn from Song Yi, who plays Manli in "The Pretender", every move is very suitable for the character setting, not only amorous, but also calculating.
Her appearance in a cheongsam is simply highly compatible with the role, and her natural charm is particularly sultry, and she is even more sassy when she changes into a military uniform.
Song Yi can switch freely in different states, which stems from her superb acting skills, thus achieving a classic.
In short, in the spy war drama "Infernal", both the actors and the plot are disappointing, no wonder so many people give bad reviews or even abandon the show.
So, do you think this drama is good? Feel free to say what you think in the comments section! #头条创作挑战赛 #
