Spy war dramas have really been silent too much, not to mention the former spy war drama ceiling "The Wind" and "Latent", even if the rebel with only a score of 7.7 is a TV series in 2021.
In the past few years, there have been many spy war dramas with a luxurious lineup, but almost every one of them started vigorously and ended miserably.
It wasn't until the launch of "Wind Chaser" that the wind of spy war dramas blew again.
But objectively speaking, although "Wind Chaser" takes spy warfare as the highlight, the subject matter is biased towards the financial industry, and it is still very far from the orthodox spy war theme in essence.
But a "Wind Chaser" is enough to rekindle the audience's confidence in spy warfare, and sure enough, the launch of "When the Stars Shine" was greatly recognized when it was first broadcast.
Clicking on the Douban comment area of the TV series "When the Stars Shine" is the unanimous praise of netizens, some netizens bluntly said "Great! The storyline is wonderful, the rhythm is tight, and the picture sense is too ......strong", and some netizens praised "It's too tense and exciting".
The new drama starring Li Xian was swiped by five-star as soon as it was launched, and the audience was almost without exception deeply attracted by the plot content and story rhythm of this drama. Although the subsequent plot direction of this drama is still unknown, it is obvious that "When the Stars Shine" has made the spy war theme shine again.
The flavor of spy war is strong, and the highlight is when it is launched, and the famine is saved
The background of the story is set in the Anti-Japanese War period, the male protagonist Hua Zhen (played by Li Xian) was born in a family of high-ranking Kuomintang officials, and at the beginning of the series, the male protagonist's life pursuit of dreaming of becoming a captain was clearly explained.
The male protagonist aims to be in the navy, but his future is going on a different path in the dark.
coincided with his father's 50th birthday, Hua Zhen came from school to attend the birthday banquet, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, but Hua Zhen's father had a serious and cold face.
On the other side, Director Deng, who had been stared at by the security headquarters, staged a cat-and-mouse game on the street in a rickshaw.
On one side is a feast party of dignitaries and celebrities, full of jubilation and comfort, while on the other side is a tense drum beat and a secret mission hanging from the beam.
Director Deng, who was forced to have no way out, could only mistakenly break into Hua Zhen's father's birthday banquet and find a way to transfer the important books that must be delivered to Shanghai in his hands.
When the tension was full, a "Teacher Deng" behind him gave him life, and the audience finally took a breath.
At the moment when the people from the security department knocked on the wooden door, Director Deng handed over the heavy responsibility to Hua Zhen, who was completely unaware.
At this time, the young man was full of vitality, and he exported his emotional baggage to the former teacher, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the competition of several camps and could no longer get out.
In just one episode, the content rhythm of "When the Stars Shine" is like double speed, the characters all appear, the characters are pulling in secret, there is no cannon fire of most spy war dramas, but the taste of orthodox spy war dramas is vividly interpreted.
Of course, another attraction of "When the Stars Shine" retains the audience is his "strong" cast.
Li Xian starred, and the appearance of powerful actors was highlighted
Among the many actors who have transformed from traffic, Li Xian's acting strength is obvious to all, he has the appearance of an idol, but he also has powerful acting skills. When creating the role of Hua Zhen, he had many moments, all of which allowed the audience to see the charm of the protagonist of Hua Zhen.
met a teacher who had not been seen for many years, Hua Zhen, played by Li Xian, talked eloquently, took out those books he treasured, and said "Poor world, protect the family and country", which was easy to say, but it was difficult to hide the look revealed in his eyes.
The vigor and ambition of youth are equally shocking in Li Xian's restrained acting skills.
Of course, Li Xian's Hua Zhen is a very three-dimensional character, he is an aspiring young man, and he is also a filial son who grew up in a Chinese-style family.
And Huang Zhizhong in this scene is also eye-catching.
As soon as he appeared, he stood up as an officer-like character, he was strict and cold, even in the face of a child he hadn't seen for a long time, he didn't have the intimacy of his father, in this short greeting scene, Huang Zhizhong never looked at Li Xian, he straightened his cuffs, lowered his head, and every sentence of his cold words carried the commanding tone of the commander.
Huang Zhizhong's performance has a strong sense of oppression and suffocation, and because of this, the line against the male protagonist's father has not yet been launched, and the audience has already tacitly accepted that Huang Zhizhong is playing a ruthless role.
Actor Wang Maolei is not a first-line celebrity, but he is also a golden supporting role that the audience is more familiar with, in "When the Stars Shine", he portrayed Wei Daiqing as a person from the Security Headquarters, in the first episode, he followed Director Deng to Hua Zhen's father's birthday banquet, in the whole scene, actor Wang Maolei did not have excessive emotional shaping, but it always made people feel cold behind their backs.
His eyes were cold, and he hid a knife in his smile, in this arrest game, he was obviously in the game, but he performed a sense of immediacy that opened God's perspective, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth had the taste of an extremely perverted villain.
Not only that, the actor Cao Lei played by Director Deng is also impressive, he has a scholarly elegance, but he does the most dangerous and brave things, he is the key person who influences the male protagonist to the right path, and in the first episode, it is hard to forget.
There is a section in the plot where the male protagonist talks about his ideals and ambitions to himself, and at this moment, the head of the Deng room is anxious, but his eyes are red when he sees Hua Zhen's eyes full of hope, at this moment, actor Cao Lei not only performed the sadness of the quiet farewell of his former teacher, but also performed the relief of seeing his students full of baggage.
Cao Lei's gradually reddening eyes and the tears that never fell were really the lore in the first episode.
In this way, the starring key characters in the first episode have not yet been launched, but "When the Stars Shine" has proved to the audience that the characterization of the whole show is another sense of "the stars shine".
Of course, the TV series "When the Stars Shine" has just been launched, and as a spy war drama, it not only needs good actors to join if it wants to retain the audience, especially for spy war dramas, high-quality plot rhythm and high-energy plot development can meet the expectations of spy war fans.
The premiere of "When the Stars Shine" showed an unexpected level for the audience, but it is not easy to maintain such a high starting point.
Whether "When the Stars Shine" can shine from the beginning to the end of the broadcast and become another popular spy war after "Wind Chaser" in 2024, let's wait and see.
Finally, what do you think of the premiere of "When the Stars Shine"?
