never expected that Zheng Xiaolong, who had filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", would make a big bad drama like "Scout Hero".
Since the anti-Japanese drama "Thunder Warrior" was boycotted, it has been a long time since I have seen a war drama that is both exaggerated and illogical, including films with the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea that have been released in theaters in recent years, which has also raised the overall quality of this kind of work a lot.
As a result, Zheng Xiaolong, the TV series director with the best reputation, overturned on this kind of theme.
Two major slots, no vomit and no pleasure.
01
The war is like a spring outing, and the heroine has become a "troublemaker" character
At the beginning, when I saw the plastic helmets on the heads of several actors in the reconnaissance company, I chuckled in my heart.
For war-themed works, the service may not be the most important, but it is a key factor that affects the overall quality, and this alone has already made people watch the play, so you can imagine how little attention to detail this drama is.
Next is the actor Liang Chen (played by Luo Jin) riding a camel cannon horse to the division headquarters to report, the original plot here looks like there is no problem, but then when performing the task, even if it is 108,000 miles away, you can make a phone call, this place has to let the actor ride a horse to report the information, do you want to show off the hero's horseback riding skills?
Immediately followed by the reconnaissance company where the hero belongs, he received an important task and needed to blow up the mountain to block the advance of the troops, so that the three regiments could sacrifice one less as much as possible.
Obviously, the time is tight and the task is heavy, but the protagonist group staged all kinds of gags on the road, such as a few soldiers of the reconnaissance company, who inexplicably wanted to provoke a soldier of the guard company, and they were single-handed, and they raised their fists at others, did they forget that they had a mission?
In order to let the hero and heroine meet, the scene of the two playing against each other was added to this plot, and the male protagonist so coincidentally stepped on the handkerchief on the heroine's head, giving the two a chance to talk.
After that, the male protagonist hurried to the mission with the troops, but on the road it was a slow and leisurely march. said that the number of people was not enough to carry so many explosives, but what was presented was that a person only had an explosive bag in his hand, and some even didn't even take the explosive bag, which is called not being able to carry it?
The heroine's art troupe is also a variety of dramas, in order to give the car to the wounded, so they decided to walk back to the division headquarters, in this process, you hold me, I carry you, and you can sing while singing, bouncing, the more you look at it, the more it looks like a spring outing.
In order to add some danger to the heroine's side, let the enemy plane bomb suddenly, and the heroine, in order to show that she is a member of the art troupe, disregarded her life safety, ran to get the piano case without listening to the command, and used "musical instruments are our weapons" to try to whitewash her unorganized and undisciplined behavior.
The squad leader of the art troupe said that the other party was dying, but when he turned his head, he praised her for her heroic performance, which is worthy of praise.
After that, the heroine and her party happened to meet the Yankees again, and were taken away as prisoners, and the heroine had a flash of inspiration, so she had to be a conspicuous bag, and on the grounds of going to the toilet, she planned to run away alone and go to the division headquarters to deliver news.
Not to mention that this behavior is likely to kill the comrades-in-arms of the art troupe who stayed behind, she also deliberately showed off a handful of English, this is for fear that the Yankees will not know that the content of the mission they just said in English was heard by her?
And these Yankees were also downgraded, knowing that the heroine learned of their actions, she didn't kill her but had to keep her, what kind of battle did she fight if she was so compassionate?
The heroine was portrayed as a troublesome character again, and the male protagonist staged a heroic rescue of beauty as soon as he came up, and through the handkerchief left by the heroine, he learned her specific location and launched a rescue.
But the male protagonist portrayed in this drama seems to be a reconnaissance hero with explosive combat effectiveness on the surface, but in the process of performing the mission, he is led by the nose by the soldiers of the guard squad. He couldn't tell how far away the tank's guns were, or how to place the explosives if he couldn't make a hole in the rock wall.
However, even so, he was able to lead his team in the course of the battle, and fought the enemy's tanks and artillery unscathed.
There is also the squad leader of the art troupe, who obviously has bad lungs and runs far away, and almost dies, but he didn't tell others important information on the way, but he had to wait until he saw the teacher.
The division commander was indifferent to all the sacrifices of the three regiments, but after learning that the art troupe had been captured, he shouted that he had to save them by smashing pots and selling iron.
In just two episodes, "Scout Hero" has been exaggerated to the point that there is no sense of reality at all, and the follow-up plot is really so that people have no desire to watch it.
02
Tight-fitting military uniform + technology face, female warriors don't be too outrageous
However, the plot and character design are only one aspect, and the actors' costumes and technological faces make people play.
The supporting actress's camera flashed by, but these two eyebrows were too eye-catching, isn't this a Korean-style semi-permanent eyebrow? It seems that she specially drew her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil before filming.
And the heroine Ma Sichun has an obvious beauty point, and her chin looks sharp and full, which is also full of science and technology.
Not only that, the heroine's face and clothes are very clean, the soldiers next to her are dirty, and there is a lot of ash on her face, but Ma Sichun's military uniform looks like it is newly made, and she still has makeup on her face.
Even after the explosion, the long journey, and the transportation of the wounded, she was able to keep it in such a clean state that it didn't look like she was fighting.
After the shelling, her hair was not even messy, it was no different from before the plane bombardment, except for a little more gray on her face, it still looked so delicate.
Even if he was captured, his lips looked very pink, and his hair remained unmoved, as if he had been welded on his head.
And the military uniforms of these female soldiers are also more than one to show their figures, each size is just right, and they can even concave exquisite curves, allowing the audience to see how slender their waists are.
Judging from the real pictures that have survived in history, they not only have short hair and no ponytail, but also carry a heavy backpack, a grenade pinned to their waists, a rifle in their hands, and their clothes do not look like they fit.
The biggest difference with these female soldiers in the play is that the real female soldiers go to war at a glance, but the female soldiers in "Scout Heroes" seem to show off their beautiful figures.
If you are reluctant to be semi-permanent in Korean style and have sharp beauties, don't play a female warrior, are you blind to be an audience?
I don't know if you can watch such a war drama?
