Spy war dramas were originally a representative theme in domestic dramas, because of their unique historical background.
The 10s was the peak period of spy war dramas in the mainland, and many classic spy war dramas were produced.
Like "Latent", "The Story of Bandits in Oolong Mountain" and so on.
But it is precisely because the momentum of spy war dramas is getting stronger and stronger that many producers who don't understand spy war dramas have joined in to shoot a series of anti-Japanese dramas.
As a result, the reputation of spy war dramas is getting worse and worse, and it has slowly become a TV drama genre at the bottom of the market.
Over the years, some directors have also tried to regain the market for spy war dramas, but their results are not very good.
It seems that the audience has been deeply rooted in the magic of anti-Japanese dramas, and it is difficult for them to believe that they can make a spy war drama with more connotation.
And the spy war dramas currently broadcast have indeed made the audience feel their insincerity, and there is really nothing to watch.
Compared with the previous anti-Japanese dramas and spy war dramas, it can't withstand any scrutiny, and there is no sincerity.
As a result, the audience is also very reluctant to spy war dramas.
But after all, this is a very interesting genre of domestic dramas, so the director has not given up, and the audience has been waiting.
This wave of viewers did not wait in vain.
The first spy war drama "Wind Chaser" in 2024 allows us to see what a real spy war drama is.
The spy war drama "Wind Chaser" has been praised by the People's Daily many times since it was broadcast, and its ratings have also been long.
In the end, this spy war drama that can still be watched by people in 2024, where does it win?
First of all, he broke the previous routine of spy war dramas and incorporated a new element "finance".
Most of the previous spy war dramas have rendered the feelings of the family and country and war scenes in the context of the times, and there are few that re-tell the development of an industry in the context of this era.
And "The Wind Chaser" is intended to be based on China's financial development in the 30s of the 20th century.
While telling this fact, it does not leave behind the description of the background of the environment of the big era.
and the growth and baptism of revolutionaries in the context of this era.
And the financial background of the general environment has to be mentioned is Shen Tunan played by Wang Yang.
His role in the play is a senior adviser to the central bank, and his superior is Nanjing.
After the reunification of the Nationalist Government, he was sent to Shanghai to rectify the financial industry in Shanghai, and in this case, it was necessary to break the status quo of private banks making profits.
But when Shen Tunan arrived in Shanghai, he found that the work was not going very well.
Private banks will not give up their space to make profits, and they will be completely state-owned.
And the forces behind many private banks are also intertwined.
And because Shanghai has been colonized, it has been intertwined with many foreign forces.
In this case, if you want to stabilize Shanghai's financial industry, Shen Tunan alone cannot do it. So he searched hard to find a right-hand man.
And at this time, our male protagonist Wei Ruolai appeared.
Wei Ruolai in the play is played by Wang Yibo.
Wei Ruolai is from Jiangxi, his dream is to become a financial expert, he just came to Shanghai and knew nothing, but he has great ideals and ambitions.
In order to recruit talents, Shen Tunan held an exam, and Wei Ruolai passed his test.
At this time, although Shen Tunan noticed Wei Ruolai, because Wei Ruolai came from Jiangxi and might be related to revolutionaries, he never dared to use him.
But Wei Ruolai didn't give up so easily, he entered Shen Tunan's drinking party in disguise.
Through his contact with Shen Tunan, he understood Shen Tunan's intentions, and finally showed his value in the direction that Shen Tunan wanted, and finally made Shen Tunan notice him.
Of course, in addition to these two characters, there is also a crucial heroine, Shen Jinzhen.
The heroine Shen Jinzhen is played by Li Qin.
This role is very complex, it can be said that Li Qin has been the most challenging role since her debut, she is Shen Tunan's younger sister but she has an opposing position with her brother, she is a revolutionary.
When the elder brother was working for Nanjing, the younger sister was a revolutionary, and the elder brother didn't know anything.
And under the progress of the plot, Shen Jinzhen also recognized Wei Ruolai.
Wei Ruolai's elder brother Lone Star was a revolutionary, and Wei Ruolai in Shanghai crossed paths with the revolutionary team after witnessing his brother's death.
And because of the proximity to Shen Tunan, Shen Jinzhen, who is also a revolutionary, has an intersection.
In the process, Wei Ruolai gradually realized that revolution was a new way out, and he also embarked on the road of revolution while developing into an excellent financial expert.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the strength of the screenwriter.
Originally, the three protagonists were three different lines.
Shen Jinzhen represents the iron-clad revolutionary, and Shen Tunan represents the financier in the Nationalist Government who wants to rectify the social atmosphere and make achievements.
Wei Ruolai, on the other hand, is a fledgling young man with lofty ideals and ambitions, but he embarked on the road of revolution under the influence of the background of the great era.
Ultimately, he dedicates his financial knowledge to the country.
Does the plot idea and introduction sound very emotional?
And this show does much more than that.
The scenes about the shootout are also very compact and exciting.
The spy war drama must be invested by the audience from the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to make the audience have the desire to watch it, and this "Wind Chaser" has done it.
"Shen Tunan", who had just been transferred from Nanjing to take office, was maliciously retaliated against by others, blew up his car and even wanted Shen Tunan's life.
However, Shen Tunan said that this was not the first time he had been assassinated, and that death had been getting closer and closer to him since he took up the position of the central bank.
On the other hand, Wei Ruolai, who came from Jiangxi, stayed in the hall of the central bank, watching the stocks they invested fall and rise.
Everyone's madness reflects people's desire for money in the context of this era.
At the same time, it brought us a wonderful sniper battle.
Shen Jinzhen hid on the roof of the building, sniping at the enemy with a gun, preparing to rescue our comrades.
And the other side is also prepared, so naturally it will not be exposed so easily.
Although Shen Jinzhen's marksmanship is getting more and more accurate, the opponent's battle is not vegetarian, because even if Shen Jinzhen's marksmanship can reach one shot at a time, he still hasn't saved the hostages.
These three wonderful images were presented to the audience in the first episode.
The background of the times and the role of the characters, even if they have not yet intersected, the imagination of the audience has already summarized them.
And this kind of drama that can leave the audience with room for creativity and imagination will certainly be supported by the audience and their motivation to look forward to watching the next episode.
The plot is very important, but what is inseparable is the excellent acting skills of the actors, and I have to say that "The Wind Chaser" is very good at using actors.
For "The Wind Chaser", the control of the role of the governor of the Central Bank can only be done by Wang Yang.
Because this character is too complicated, ordinary people may not be able to play it well, but Wang Yang is different.
After starring in "Rebel", Wang Yang was seen by the audience as his advantage in spy warfare, and he was also called the new father of spy warfare by the audience.
Wang Yang, who is middle-aged and popular, used his strength to tell everyone that he is an actor who is different from others.
He's good at handling every complex role,
Although he is from Nanjing, his job is only that of a financial expert.
He just wanted to build a good domestic financial industry, but he didn't expect that when he targeted Shanghai's financial industry, he found that the roots of the national government had rotted.
And such rotten roots cannot be saved even if he uses all his talents.
But by this time, his sister had already thrown herself into the ranks of the revolution.
As an important expert, he had to face a position that was in opposition to his sister.
And he is also well aware of the corruption of the people.
On the one hand, it is the family, on the other hand, it is oneself, and on the other hand, it is the family and the country.
Such complexity makes the character of Shen Tunan more and more three-dimensional, and Wang Yang's current interpretation has also been commented and loved by everyone.
Li Qin's role as Shen Jinzhen in the play also surprised everyone.
In a confrontation with her brother Shen Tunan, she confessed to her brother that she was a revolutionary.
She yelled at her brother, "You killed me, you killed me", and then burst into tears.
This scene has to be said to be very good.
It allows us to see the explosiveness of actor Li Qin.
Li Qin has been a tepid existence for many years, the reason is that he has not met a representative character, and Shen Jinzhen in "The Wind Chaser" is undoubtedly a vivid and three-dimensional character.
She is young, she is righteous, and she is a female figure.
With first-class sniper marksmanship and perseverance.
The role itself is loved by everyone, and the wonderful performance of actor Li Qin is really interesting.
It can be said that Li Qin and Shen Jinzhen have achieved each other.
The development momentum of young actor Wang Yibo is getting stronger and stronger, and being able to join the spy war drama this time is also a breakthrough for his career.
After all, the previous image of a beautiful man has hindered his future development, and his ability to choose spy war dramas to grow up also proves his potential.
The growth experience of Wei Ruolai, who he plays in the play, is the same as his growth experience, from the initial unknown and full of enthusiasm to the final growth success.
"Wind Chaser" conveys to us a new way to open up spy warfare from a different perspective, and it also gives many directors and screenwriters a wake-up call.
It's not that there are no spy war dramas that can be filmed, after all, there are many points that can be cut into such a big era background.
If you only want to learn from the previous spy war dramas, then you can only be eliminated by the market.
