Netizens who are familiar with Yaqing know that Yaqing rarely recommends newly aired TV series to everyone. But as long as I recommend it to everyone, it will definitely be "made with conscience". And in the end, it will basically "explode".
Like the year before last's "The World", last year's "The Long Season", "Hurricane", this year's "Flowers", etc., are all the same.
And now, what Yaqing wants to recommend to everyone is a new drama "Scout Hero" directed by Zheng Xiaolong.
Recommended reasons: 1. The fast-paced plot is compact and informative, and it does not waste the audience's time. Second, the war scene is burning, how can the word "cool" be used to grasp the audience's attention? Third, the tactical details are very exquisite, and it should be the favorite of military fans. Fourth, although there are many characters who appear, all of them have distinct personalities and are about to come out. Fifth, the actors' acting skills are online, although except for Luo Jin, most of the young actors who play the volunteer army are fresh faces, but they collectively presented touching performances.
Actually, before "Scout Heroes" came out, I didn't have much expectations for this drama. Because in the past two years, there have been many similar themes, but many of them are "fish-eyed" works, which inevitably makes people feel visually fatigued. In addition, in my impression, Zheng Xiaolong is very good at making family ethics dramas, palace fighting dramas and period dramas, but war dramas are almost a new attempt. I don't believe that a director can handle any type of drama.
But it turns out that Zheng Xiaolong is Zheng Xiaolong, and he is definitely a master of creating surprises. He never seems to disappoint us. From "Golden Wedding" in 2006, to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in 2011, from "Red Sorghum" in 2015, to "Meritorious" in 2020, and then to "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" in 2022, each of his works has won praise from the audience by relying on excellent production and exquisite details.
This hit "Scout Hero" is the same. won the first place in the ratings at the beginning of the broadcast.
At the beginning of "Reconnaissance Heroes", the audience's eyes were grasped through a winding telephone line, and then a few minutes later, with the reconnaissance team on a mission, the audience's hearts were also raised to their throats.
The war scenes are fantastic, with explosive explosions, tense shootouts, and fierce confrontations, with documentary-like realism and blockbuster-like high-burning effects. It makes people's blood rush after watching it. The words of the commander of the third regiment, the third battalion, and the third company "are in the position" made me break the defense in an instant, and tears "whew" and rushed out.
In this drama, we have seen many outstanding young actors, who play volunteer soldiers with different appearances, but all of them have the characteristics of wit, bravery, combat bravery, and full of masculine masculinity. Among them, there are ten young actors, which are worthy of our key recommendation.
1. Cao Lu plays Yu Xiaoshan
Yu Xiaoshan, nicknamed "Little Steel Cannon", is very agile in battle, often with lightning speed, and defeats the enemy.
Yu Xiaoshan's actor is named Cao Lu. Prior to this, he had starred in many film and television dramas, but it seems that he has been in a tepid state. He played Qu Jianghai in "Windmill", played the role of Wang Gonggong in "Laughter in the Hospital", and played Xu Hao in "There Are Arbors in the South", all of which showed his ability to control different roles.
In recent years, the two roles he has created on the screen have left a very deep impression on us, one is Jiang Jing in the movie "Eight Hundred", and the other is Zhao Jiwei in the TV series "Police Honor". Especially the role of "Zhao Jiwei", which was vividly and vividly interpreted by him, is endearing.
In "Scout Hero", I think Cao Lu's drama has been expanded, although there are only two short episodes at present, but the characteristics of "small steel cannon" he plays "static braking, fearless as steel" have been engraved in our minds. hopes that through this "Scout Hero", Cao Lu's acting career can reach a higher level.
Second, Jiang Xinqi plays Jin Zhe
Kim Chol was the first volunteer soldier to appear in "Scout Hero". He was the deputy squad leader of the first squad of the reconnaissance company, and his nickname was Xiucai. He understands Korean and is good at listening, just like the "clairvoyant" of the reconnaissance team, and has cracked a lot of important information for our army.
Kim Chol's actor is named Jiang Xinqi, and his performance has attracted the attention of the audience. In that scene, everyone looked at him, which really reflected Kim Chol's instinctive reaction of staying awake all night but still overcoming fatigue and insisting on putting himself on first-level alert.
Jiang Xinqi is an actor who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and has played Zhou Feizhou in "Whirlwind Eleven", and Yan Xie, the second young master of the Yan family in "Sesame Hutong", In addition, he also has roles in "Heartless Mage III", "It Turns Out I Love You Very Much" and other dramas.
However, this time he appeared in "Scout Hero", after the guidance and training of director Zheng Xiaolong, Jiang Xinqi's performance was obviously more simple, relaxed, and natural, pursuing real effects. I think this is the true meaning of acting, which is why the role of Kim Chul he created will be so real and credible.
3. Han Pengyi plays Li Wanfu
In "Scout Hero", Li Wanfu is a young man with a simple personality, but his political consciousness is particularly high.
I remember that in the first episode, before the resistance battle started, Liang Chen, the reconnaissance section chief played by Luo Jin, said to Li Wanfu, the squad leader of the next squad, that you should pay more attention to the soldier named Qi Lu, but Li Wanfu misunderstood Liang Chen's meaning and said categorically, don't worry, I have a number, he is going to escape, I can't spare him. But in fact, what Liang Chen wanted to express was to let Li Wanfu try his best to play the role of Qi Lu. This scene is unbearable. Li Wanfu's character also jumped in front of him.
The actor who plays Li Wanfu is named Han Pengyi, and his performance is simple and natural, and even has a natural sense of humor. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he's been on stage for many years. In the past two years, he has begun to make a name for himself in the film and television industry. In last year's hit "Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun", the actor of "Lei Zhenzi" is him.
And now, he appears in "Scout Hero" as an unpretentious volunteer soldier, showing his ability to control different roles. It also allows us to see Han Pengyi's plasticity as an actor. I think that with the blessing of directors such as Wu Ershan and Zheng Xiaolong, then Han Pengyi's acting prospects will definitely be promising in the future.
Fourth, Wu Zhiqiang plays Bi Lei Rod
There should be more than one netizen, like me, who is very curious about the name Bi Lei Rod, right? Bi Lei Jian is a deminer of the reconnaissance class, and his nickname is also "lightning rod". It's as if this name was given specifically for his specialty.
Personally, I like this actor who plays the "lightning rod", his name is Wu Zhiqiang. First of all, he is very handsome, with a handsome face, delicate eyebrows, and a sense of youth, which is unforgettable. Secondly, his performance is naturally simple and not exaggerated, which makes people feel well-proportioned and comfortable.
But what we see is obviously a fresh face, and it seems that it has only appeared in a variety show "Distant Home: Travel Acceleration" before. This time he played the role of Bi Lei Pole in "Scout Hero", which seems to be his screen debut. But it has come up with brilliant results. And his starting point is really high. Not every newcomer can meet a good director like Zheng Xiaolong.
Fifth, Wang Huacheng plays Liu Heiniu
I think that every friend who has watched "Scout Hero" will never forget Liu Heiniu, a machine gunner. He is a representative of "winning more with less and overcoming the enemy with wisdom." As long as he is there, the reconnaissance squad will be like a tiger with wings.
The actor who plays Liu Heiniu is named Wang Huacheng. He graduated from Dalian University of the Arts with a major in musical, and has previously appeared in variety shows such as "Annual Comedy Competition" and "Dragon Boat Festival Wonderful Tour". He has not starred in many film and television works, but a "Scout Hero" has made a good start.
And we noticed his performance, calm and introverted, sharp eyes, quick movements like a rabbit, a vigorous and resolute image of a soldier, very vividly presented in front of us. Every time he sets up a shot of the machine gun firing full firepower, he is extremely handsome.
We look forward to him being able to make a big splash in the entertainment industry in the days to come.
Sixth, Zhao Jing Shuyu plays Mo Rigen
Morrigan is a sniper in the reconnaissance squad. This Oroqen boy has eyes as sharp as an eagle and a calm mind like a stone. Nicknamed "The Hunter", he holds a record of every shot in battle. He didn't say much, but he had an invisible deterrent in him.
The actor who plays Mo Rigen is named Zhao Jing Shuyu. For many viewers, this also seems to be a "new face". But in fact, he has been debuting for several years. has previously played roles in film and television dramas such as "Furious Block", "Eight and a Half Seconds Hero", "Glory Ping Pong", "Lingyunzhi", etc., but it has not attracted too much attention.
But this time, in "Scout Hero", Zhao Jing Shuyu's performance was impressive. He is an actor from Xinjiang who began to practice parkour in 2008, so he has the envy of other male actors with physical flexibility, which adds too much luster to the role of Mo Rigen he plays.
7. Zhao Yihan plays Zhang Zhicheng
Zhang Zhicheng is in the reconnaissance squad and has the title of "little clever ghost". This is because he is not tall, but he is extremely intelligent, and can quickly make correct judgments and react accordingly in any situation. How can you deal with the enemy without such an "intellectual" responsibility?
Actor Zhao Yihan portrayed the role of Zhang Zhicheng vividly in "Scout Class 1", and the character's personality is also very distinct, which left a deep impression on us.
Zhao Yihan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and at the age of 14, he made his screen debut in the movie "Kung Fu Dream" starring Jackie Chan. Since then, he has collaborated with directors such as Tsui Hark, An Zhanjun, and Feng Delun, and has become a leader among young actors. In the past two years, he has become famous for participating in main theme movies such as "Changjin Lake" and "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake". This time in "Scout Class 1", Zhao Yihan once again played the hero of the Volunteer Army, and he was very excited about it. And I hope that my performance can be recognized by more netizens.
8. Li Xinzhe plays Li Chenggong
"Scout Heroes" has been updated for the first two episodes, and I believe that there are many viewers like me, and one of the most memorable scenes is that Li Chenggong, an 18-year-old sapper, endured severe pain when his thigh was pierced by an enemy bullet, and he endured severe pain to connect the wire connecting the explosives. In order to be in a hurry, before Li Chenggong had time to completely evacuate, Cao Kui, the commander of the engineer platoon, had to order the explosives to be detonated.
As a result, because Li Chenggong got too close to the explosives, his two legs were blown off instantly.
Seeing this picture, my tears "boomed" and broke through my eyes. The song "Why is the battle flag so picturesque, and the blood of heroes stains it red" suddenly appeared in my mind.
The actor who plays Li Chenggong is named Li Xinzhe. He is now a rising star.
Li Xinzhe graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, debuted in 2016, signed a contract with Luo Jin Studio, and has played roles in works such as "Ancient Love Song", "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", "The Long River of the World" and so on. This time in "Scout Hero", his performance is natural and simple, unpretentious, but deeply moving. I hope that he can find the true meaning of acting and create more memorable images on the screen.
9. He Yujun plays Cao Kui
Cao Kui, the engineer platoon commander played by He Yujun, is also unforgettable, mainly because he presents excellent professional quality in the play, and a vigorous and resolute military style, unlike some "little fresh meat" who can only pose and make a show.
In He Yujun's heart, there is a dream of being a soldier. After graduating from high school, he originally wanted to apply for the Armed Police Art Troupe, but was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. Since then, playing the image of a soldier in film and television works has become a thing that he feels very happy about.
He Yujun debuted in 2011 and has participated in works such as "Desperate War", "Iron and Blood Army Soul", and "Fighting Five Lakes Town". But it always hovers at the three, four, five, and six lines. I hope that through the drama "Scout Hero", more fans can remember this actor named He Yujun.
10. Huang Chengcheng plays Qi Lu
Huang Chengcheng's development momentum in recent years has been very strong, and he has obtained a lot of high-quality resources, including Xiao Er in "New World", Xiao Chen in "The Wind Blows in the Summer", and Yuan Hao in "County Party Committee Compound", all of which are outstanding.
Of course, this is first of all because Huang Chengcheng's basic acting skills are relatively solid. He is very relaxed in front of the camera, no distractions, no burden, so he is very open, and his performance is imaginative and creative. This makes the character he plays distinct and lifelike.
This time in "Scout Hero", Qi Lu played by him attracted the audience's attention as soon as he appeared. I saw that he was small, but he was extremely flexible, not only good at reading words and feelings, but also able to speak well. Liang Chen quickly discovered his strengths and potential, so he kept him by his side. And in the subsequent actions, Qi Lu became one of Liang Chen's most powerful assistants.
I think Huang Chengcheng presented a unique and interesting performance in "Scout Hero", and the setting of "Trump" not only conforms to the identity and characteristics of the character, but also distinguishes Qi Lu from other volunteer soldiers.
Yes, these ten young actors, under the guidance of the director, have done an excellent job of their respective performance tasks, shaping the group portrait of a group of reconnaissance heroes into flesh and blood. Although the show has only been updated to two episodes, the focused Jin Zhe, the god pitcher Yu Xiaoshan, the big bull and Lao Bi, who are like brothers but always quarrel, and the "hunter" Mo Rigen with an axe on his waist, etc., are still deeply engraved in our minds.
I am sure that if "Scout Hero" maintains the quality of the first two episodes, then it will become another hit drama in 2024, which is almost inevitable.
