In domestic film and television, there is an unforgettable theme - war dramas.
Classics such as "Bright Sword", "Crossing the Yalu River", and "The Battle of Changsha" not only restore a period of history to a high degree, but also bring countless touches to the audience, and also leave a strong mark in the long river of Chinese dramas.
In the past two years, with the popularity of war films, a large wave of war dramas have emerged one after another, such as "Ice and Snow Sharp Knife Company", which was launched last year.
So, can the audience wait for a good war drama?
It's coming.
On April 1st, a war drama "Chuanliu" was broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV, and at the same time, the three major platforms of goose, peach, and cool were broadcast at the same time.
After tying up 3 episodes, I realized the power of this drama: this is a real domestic war drama.
The opening of the spy war, the texture of the movie
"Chuanliu" tells the story of the 40s of the twentieth century, the invasion of the enemy, the national disaster at the head, the survival of a nation to a critical moment, in this context, rooted in the ancient city of Sichuan cultural soil, a group of enthusiastic young people, without hesitation to devote themselves to the red battlefield, with their firm beliefs, and the enemy to carry out a fierce struggle.
The biggest attraction of war dramas is the plot itself, two high-energy scenes that make people instantly enter the play.
1. In the midst of the assassination, who did it
At the beginning of the story, without further ado, let's first have a bloody "assassination" scene to relieve the audience's hunger.
The notorious Li Qing (played by Guo Feng) walked alone on a rainy night, and was "assassinated" by Zheng Xiaonan (played by Zhang Duo), a student who had been ambushed, with a mechanism.
It was originally a stable plan, and Li Qing was indeed "stoned" to death by the mechanism set up by Zheng Xiaonan, but when he stepped forward to check, seeing that the other party was covered with blood, Zheng Xiaonan fainted directly, and woke up again on the river embankment a few hundred meters away, and Li Qing's "corpse" was gone.
As soon as the camera turned, our party personnel who were originally going to kill Li Qing came back to report, but the mission failed, and Li Qing was killed by others first. At this time, the police station also got the news and demanded that all efforts be made to arrest the murderer. And our male protagonist Zheng Xiaonan was also unlucky, when he committed the crime, he was noticed by many people, and was directly chased by the police station from the school to the opera garden, and was directly arrested.
Good guys, who would have thought that the show would be a war drama? Is this an inappropriate spy war plot?
2, the male protagonist became an "abandoned son", and he was too impulsive to lose his qualification to join the group
thought that Zheng Xiaonan's murder charge was conclusive, but the case was full of suspicions, and he did faint blood, and Li Qing's life and death were also uncertain, and in the end, Zheng Xiaonan was released by the police station.
You think that's how it was settled? No.
Originally, Zheng Xiaonan was still in the inspection period, but in the task of punishing Li Qing this time, due to his reckless actions, he did not report in advance, which led to the re-evaluation of his personality by the superiors of the organization, thinking that he was difficult to take on the big responsibility, so Zheng Xiaonan's qualification to join the group was eliminated.
Then the audience's eyes were all focused on episode 2, why? because Li Qing did not die!
reversed and reversed, and the audience who watched this big scene applauded. Seeing that this Li Qing is so difficult to kill, presumably he will be the biggest obstacle to the development of our party in the follow-up plot.
It can be said that "River" is a rare new war work that can tell the story and narrate it brilliantly, the rhythm is online throughout the whole process, and the high-energy reversal is continuous, breaking the routine of the original war drama and giving the war theme a new vitality.
Accompanied by national first-class actors, all the staff are acting skills
The success of a war drama is inseparable from the actors' portrayal of the characters, and this new work "Chuanliu" can be on Tianjin Satellite TV, which also has two brushes, and it will surprise the audience in casting.
The first place, Han Tongsheng
Because of the image problem, most of the roles played by Han Tongsheng are either villains or uncles. As a national first-class actor, Han Tongsheng's interpretation of the role can be said to be in hand.
In "Hurricane", his role as "Li Youtian" is impressive, after all, only "Li Youtian" is "Hurricane" in the whole play.
In the new drama "Chuanliu", Han Tongsheng incarnated as the chief of the police station, as soon as he appeared, he lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes, with a flattering smile, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead and mouth for a while, and his inner tension and uneasiness can be seen from these small actions.
Han Tongsheng's grasp of the role of seeing the wind and making the rudder in the new drama gave the audience a textbook-level interpretation, his acting skills are natural and delicate, giving people a very comfortable look, and his acting skills are worth watching repeatedly by the audience.
second place, Shang Tielong
Father Yu in "I Am Yu Huanshui" is a very prestigious leader in the new work this time. As a veteran actor from a professional class, Shang Tielong's acting skills are beyond doubt.
In the new work "River", as soon as he appeared on the stage, the leader's style rose, his lines were powerful and emotional, and Shang Tielong's acting skills can be described as superb.
And what excites the audience the most should be the rivalry between Shang Tielong and Han Tongsheng, it is really a strong showdown, which seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is secretly turbulent. Such a peak drama is simply the gospel of the "acting party".
third place, Zhang Duo
Zhang Duo's fame is not big, but his acting skills should not be underestimated. Zhang Duo, who was born in a professional class, has a solid acting skills, and in the play, he perfectly interprets the youthful vigor of young students, and the dissolved flesh and blood of not admitting defeat is too right.
fourth place, Yu Xintian
Yu Xintian, who is also from a professional class, has excellent acting skills, and his strength has been reflected in dramas such as "The Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Heartless Mage", but in fact, he is short of a role that is really out of the circle.
Now it seems that Yu Xintian has waited for an opportunity.
In the new drama "River", Yang Siqing, played by Yu Xintian, is an important student representative of our party, dressed in student clothes and simple braids, and as soon as she appears, she is a naïve female student.
When he went to bail his fiancé Zheng Xiaonan, I heard him constantly emphasize that he was a murderer, Yu Xintian slapped him directly, and the hatred in his eyes was not made of steel, and the contrast immediately came, presumably in the follow-up plot, she would bring more wonderful performances to the audience.
In addition, powerful actors such as Doni, Yu Bin, and Feng Xiaotong will also play important roles in the play, this lineup is really rare!
epilogue
When I watched "River", I actually had a drum in my heart.
When war dramas have been labeled as "bad dramas" one after another, and excellent war movies are becoming more and more rare, can there be new works to fight their way out of the encirclement?
After watching "River", my answer is: Yes.
As a war drama, "Chuanliu" is a good continuation of the characteristics of classic war film and television dramas, and the red color has far-reaching meanings. However, this new work also has innovative points.
Compared with traditional war dramas, the new work "Riverflow" adds the color of spy war drama to the plot, integrating action, suspense, era, war and other elements, hardcore fighting, multiple reversals, and the whole film is hearty to watch.
The play is not only a war story with ups and downs, but at the same time, it is also a group of hot-blooded warriors, the most indestructible faith of that era. They don't know the end of the war, they don't know what the future holds, and that's why heroes who have true faith are especially honorable.
They gamble everything, fearlessly, because they vaguely see a certain image of faith, even if they can't reach it, but faith will.
I really hope that "Chuanliu" can maintain such momentum and make "spy war drama" become the present tense again.
