Preface
The recent "Flowers" can be said to have skyrocketed word-of-mouth, and it has frequently appeared on hot searches.
Zhuyu is in front, and many TV series have temporarily avoided the edge and chose to postpone their release.
Taking advantage of the fact that "Flowers" had just finished last night, "Scout Heroes" made a high-profile debut in Beijing and Zhejiang.
This new drama "Scout Hero" is directed by the famous director Zheng Xiaolong, who is a famous director in China, and his masterpiece is even more familiar.
Like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Golden Wedding", "Meritorious" and so on are all Zheng Xiaolong's works, and the ratings are also very high.
Zheng Xiaolong chose Luo Jin and Ma Sichun to lead the casting of "Scout Hero".
In addition, the background story is the patriotic anti-Japanese war theme of the recently popular "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", and the ratings of the premiere of Beijing and Zhejiang double stations are among the best in satellite TV.
Overall, the premiere popularity and ratings of "Scout Heroes" are still quite good.
Unexpectedly, this popular new drama has few reviews and one bad review.
"Another Anti-Japanese War Drama", "Pseudo-Drama", "The plot is too old-fashioned", "The subject matter is outdated", "It's a romance drama at first glance", "The whole process is abrupt, there are few lines", "Luo Jin's acting skills are not like at all", "Ma Sichun is too funny" and so on.
The reasons for everyone's bad reviews are mainly focused on the protracted plot and the actors' acting skills.
The most important thing is that director Zheng Xiaolong, who has countless masterpieces, was able to make a war film like an "anti-Japanese drama", which shocked the audience and made many doubts!
The plot is nothing new, like an "anti-Japanese drama"
Judging from the two episodes of "Scout Heroes" that have been broadcast so far, the biggest feeling for me is three words - "too bloody"!
"Scout Hero" is actually a half-empty anti-Japanese war film with the theme of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea", which tells the story of the reconnaissance company of a certain division of the Volunteer Army, born and dead, reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and interspersed with the story of the Anti-Japanese War behind enemy lines.
At the beginning of the first episode, Liang Chen, the head of the reconnaissance section played by Luo Jin, took his reconnaissance company to eavesdrop on the secret intelligence of South Korea in the field.
and brought out all the members of the reconnaissance team, and briefly depicted the group portrait characteristics of each team member.
The reconnaissance company, which had been stationed overnight, finally intercepted an important piece of information: "The US military wants to reinforce the south Korean army to continue attacking our troops."
Luo Jin immediately rode back to the command post and personally reported this important news to the division headquarters.
On the way, Luo Jin's horse suddenly became uncontrollable and stopped advancing, so Luo Jin had to run back to the division headquarters on foot.
The intelligence information, which was originally very urgent, coupled with the fact that the chief of the reconnaissance section personally traveled long distances to convey it, would have seemed hasty and important.
But when Luo Jin rushed to the headquarters to report, those few simple perfunctory gasps, he really couldn't feel the urgency of this information.
The plot at the beginning is flat, starting with the reconnaissance team, but it does not portray the characteristics of the reconnaissance team, and there is less tension when intercepting intelligence.
The division commander, who received the information, immediately deployed the campaign, and sent Luo Jin's reconnaissance company to the front line of the operation of the three regiments of our army, and carried out explosives blasting on the road, blocking the assistance of the US army and rescuing the three regiments.
Luo Jin, who received the task, immediately galloped under the stars and rushed to the front line to support as quickly as possible and reduce the casualties of the three regiments.
On the way there, the reconnaissance company accidentally incorporated a powerful guard "double soldier" Qi Lu (Huang Chengcheng).
also met Wen Jie (played by Ma Sichun), who was saving lives in the art troupe.
After a brief negotiation, the teams went to their respective mission locations.
The three regiments and one battalion that were fighting in front of them were already fighting with the US army, and the three regiments and three battalions were also resisting to the death.
At this time, the Luo Jin reconnaissance company rushed to the blocking site, struggled to find the mountain blasting point, and placed explosive packs, preparing to block the support of the US troops.
However, Qi Lu, the newly joined "double soldier", keenly discovered that the reinforcements of the US army were passing through this place immediately, but the explosives package of the reconnaissance company had not yet been placed.
At this time, the reconnaissance was connected to the news that the three regiments fighting on the front line were all annihilated, and the reconnaissance company could only desperately block the American armored forces that came to the aid.
Luo Jin took the reconnaissance company and Qi Lu, a newcomer to the team, down the mountain to block the attack, buying time for his colleagues who were looking for a blasting point on the mountain.
And when the attack was blocked at the bottom of the mountain, the people of the reconnaissance company actually confidently introduced the "supernatural powers" of the reconnaissance company members to Qi Lu.
There are sharpshooters who wear Yang in 100 steps, there is a quasi-pitcher, there is a radar sweeper Bi Thunder Rod, nicknamed "Lightning Rod", and Liu Heiniu, a big man who can wrestle with a buffalo.
The new Qi Lu and the audience were stunned when they heard it, this image setting is simply the urine of the "anti-Japanese drama".
In the end, Luo Jin's reconnaissance company also completely annihilated the US armored support unit and won the first victory in the opening drama.
But the art troupe, which was full of female soldiers last time, was captured by the U.S. military, and Ma Sichun was among them.
Ma Sichun, who knew English, heard the latest intelligence information of the US military after being captured, and was ready to escape by going to the toilet to pass on information to the headquarters.
On the way to escape, he was seriously injured and his life and death were uncertain.
At this time, Luo Jin's reconnaissance team also received an order to prepare to turn around and rescue the captured art troupe.
This is the end of the second episode.
I thought that the first two episodes would intuitively show the cruelty and fierceness of the war on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and highlight the heroism and fearlessness of the reconnaissance heroes on the side.
But after watching it, only one battle scene of three regiments barely qualified.
Luo Jin's bazooka bombing tank's "five-cent special effect" is really low.
The joining of Ma Sichun in the art troupe was really fast and abrupt, and it felt like it was paving the way for the romance plot between Luo Jin and Ma Sichun later.
The newly added somewhat funny "double warrior" Qi Lu is even more forcibly foreshadowing, and you don't have to think about it to know that there are many scenes after Qi Lu.
After reading it, I only feel that the heroic image of the reconnaissance unit is a bit "deflated", the plot is not new, it is too procrastinated, and it is like an "anti-Japanese drama".
Luo Jin Ma Sichun's acting skills pull his hips, and Huang Chengcheng is too dramatic
After talking about the plot, let's talk about the embarrassment of the acting skills and details of the actors in the play.
The audience commented on Luo Jin's acting skills, not at all like the section chief of the Investigation Division.
The appearance of the rush report was just a few perfunctory gasps.
He didn't show a feeling of hoarseness at the end of a long run.
When the division commander deployed the combat mission, the scene of Luo Jin covering his mouth and yawning was too visible.
The audience even commented: "It's not like this to show tiredness, Luo Jin yawned in front of the chief, as if he didn't want to listen, he slipped away, and laughed at me!"
I have to say that Luo Jin's performance in these two details is indeed unsatisfactory.
After all, this is a war drama that pays tribute to the revolutionary martyrs, not to mention how real it is, at least it must be close to the feelings!
Let's talk about Wen Jie, the secretary of the art troupe played by Ma Sichun.
tied with two ponytails, with big shoulders and a round waist, I thought I was going to act in a revolutionary-themed romance drama when I appeared.
Moreover, Ma Sichun's acting skills are also very exaggerated and contrived, he did not listen to the command and abandoned the car on foot, and the bomber dropped a bomb to snatch the fallen violin, and said that it was his life.
There is also a plot where he was shot several times after being captured, and miraculously escaped.
Let the audience shout: "Didn't the director shoot something fresh and not intellectually for everyone to see?"
And the costumes in the play are too unrealistic, the set is too fake, and the picture is too dark, the more you look at it, the more unattractive it becomes.
Let's talk about the new Qi Lu who joined in a daze, known as the "Double Agent Warrior".
And Qi Lu's actor is Huang Chengcheng, the actor of Xiao's ear in the 2020 "New World" TV series, I don't know if you can see it?
When I saw Huang Chengcheng playing the Volunteer Army, I was really afraid that he would say to Luo Jin: "What do you have to be arrogant?"
In fact, Huang Chengcheng played the role of a "double agent" in "Scout Hero", who is very smart and smart, and plays a pivotal role in the subsequent plot.
Maybe it's because the character image of Little Ear in "New World" is too profound, and I feel that his image is very suitable for playing a villain.
After "New World", he didn't appear in many plays, so it felt a bit abrupt for him to play a shrewd and capable volunteer.
And in the play, I feel that he is afraid to speak, do things, and do things, for fear that he will defect to the enemy army in the next second and betray the revolution, which is really very visible in the play.
epilogue
Some netizens commented: "Director Zheng Xiaolong leaves the blessing of a popular star, just like a fish leaving water." ”
When we look back and look at "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" and "Meritorious", we may be able to understand the connotation of this sentence.
When filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", the star casting in it is the biggest feature of this drama, presenting us with a classic image of film history.
There is also "Meritorious" a few years ago, starting from the meritorious figures of the Republic, with Wang Lei, Lei Jiayin, Huang Xiaoming, Guo Tao and other popular stars, the effect is still extraordinary.
But this time, "Scout Hero" is not only flawed in the casting of actors, but also unsatisfactory in terms of service and professional perspective.
And there is no novelty in the arrangement of the script, which is mediocre.
It really makes people hungry and hungry.
I still hope that Director Zheng can accumulate and bring us more good works in the near future.
