The drama "Scout Hero" has sparked controversy on the Internet. Some viewers said that the costumes of the volunteers in the play did not match reality, but I would like to ask those viewers who asked questions, as Chinese, whether you can understand which era of soldiers are shown in the play, and whether you can understand when the story is shown in the plot.
For you, this is a matter of course, but for foreigners, perhaps they will only think that it is a fictional story.
"Scout Heroes" is a TV series starring Luo Jin, Ma Sichun, Huang Chengcheng, Cao Lu, Shangbai, Lu Xiaolin, Yang Fan, Han Pengyi, Zhao Yihan, Zhao Jingshuyu, Wang Huacheng, Wu Zhiqiang, Jiang Xinqi, Li Mingxuan, Song Jialun, Gao Xin, Liu Mingming, Chen Hao, Chen Hailong, etc. The play, which depicts the story of the volunteer scouts, has premiered on two David TV and three major platforms.
Judging from the production level of director Zheng Xiaolong, this drama is indeed his masterpiece. Whether it is the texture or the popularity of word-of-mouth, it did not disappoint. I've watched two episodes of the premiere and have to admit that this Scout Hero has reached artistic heights both in production and storytelling, with a lot of highlights. In particular, the "bombing and blocking battle" at the beginning not only meets the requirements of real military battles, but also conforms to the creative rules of TV dramas. It is no exaggeration to say that the "Mountain Bombing Battle" in just a few dozen minutes has reached the artistic level of film and television works such as "Band of Brothers" and "Saving Private Ryan".
The character of the male protagonist Liang Chen in the play is very likable. He is not a typical old and rough company commander, but a capable reconnaissance section chief, which is very consistent with Luo Jin's image, smart and steady.
However, why are there so many bad reviews? On the Internet, some people use the banner of freedom of speech to specifically attack works with revolutionary and patriotic themes. I don't really understand what they're doing this for.
In fact, the famous singer Huang An has very clearly pointed out that the act of slandering all heroes and positive characters is the behavior of Han Jian, which continues to erode the faith of young people. The drama "Scout Hero" also suffered the same treatment, and received a lot of bad reviews when it first aired.
Some of the comments are just taken out of context. For example, one of the comments criticizes Ma Sichun's role as the heroine of the art troupe, but in fact, in the full plot, her actions are severely criticized, which is an important part of the story about discipline.
Some people also criticized the military uniforms of the volunteers in the play for not conforming to historical facts, thinking that there is no chest mark, but this does exist in the play. Why show the costumes of the volunteers in such a way that is not entirely realistic?
There is a deep meaning in this. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a war between us and the United States, a war in which we pay the price of our lives for the sake of the peaceful life of our future generations.
We already have many classic interpretations of film and television works on this genre, and the remake of these themes is to make future generations forever remember the dedication of our Republic.
Director Zheng Xiaolong not only showed history, but also respected the original facts, and showed the image of the volunteer army in an artistic way. We can see that the director's intentions do not completely show the costumes according to historical facts.
To domestic audiences, they will be able to understand this, but to foreign audiences, they may think that it is just a fictional story. This is the wisdom of China.
