Now, when it comes to domestic TV dramas, which theme is the most popular? Hehe, I think many people will think of the spy theme! I have to say that espionage-themed TV dramas were once the "sweet and sweet" of the domestic TV drama market.
Back then, TV series such as "The Pretender," "The Pretender," and "Kite" were all very popular! At that time, the spy theme almost became the standard configuration of TV dramas, and almost every one of them could arouse heated discussions among the audience.
However, in recent years, espionage-themed TV series seem to have "cooled down". The quantity is less, but the quality has improved a lot. Everyone is no longer satisfied with those old-fashioned plots and face-painted characters, but pays more attention to the compactness of the plot and the depth of the characters.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the "Wind Chaser" in 2024. This drama really combines espionage and finance just right, with both traditional spy style and the addition of popular financial elements, which makes people's blood boil!
Moreover, this drama also invited popular stars, which is really good-looking and eye-catching. Its success not only opened the door to a long-standing espionage-themed TV series, but also made the audience full of expectations for high-quality spy movies.
However, not all espionage-themed TV series can be as well received as "Wind Chaser".
Take "When the Stars Shine" as an example, the cast of this drama is quite luxurious, with popular actors and old actors, it stands to reason that it should be very attractive, right?
However, it has received a surprising amount of criticism, which is really disappointing. It seems that no matter how strong the cast is, it has to rely on the plot and production quality!
Full of loopholes, IQ offline
I thought I would be able to see a tense and exciting spy drama of the Anti-Japanese War, but it turned out to be a "drama of the Anti-Japanese War" full of loopholes and worrying IQ.
First of all, let's talk about the background and character settings of this show. Hua Zhen, the son-in-law who was born in the family of a high-ranking Kuomintang official, changed his fate dramatically because of an accident.
This would have been quite interesting, after all, a story of identity change always attracts the audience's attention. However, the plot setting of this show is too unsophisticated!
Hua Zhen pretended to be Xiang Yuansheng, and also met a bunch of young people with different backgrounds, such as the rookie policewoman Luo Minmin and Chen Hao played by Zhou You. These settings seem to be exciting, but in fact, they are full of loopholes, which makes people want to complain after watching it.
Most of the protagonists in today's spy TV series are young people with a sense of justice, and this drama is no exception.
However, the sense of justice can't cover up the loopholes of the plot! The logic of the plot must be reasonable and the plot must be coherent, so that the audience can feel the battle of wisdom between the characters, and can also feel the undercurrent between the major forces.
It's a pity that the drama "When the Stars Shine" is really poor in these aspects.
Let's talk about the plot of the underground staff who wanted to sneak into Vice Minister Hua's birthday banquet at the beginning.
This underground staff member just relied on a certificate and he was Deputy Elder Hua's subordinate, and the guards let him in, and he didn't even need a formality?
The guards are too lax! Moreover, the captain of the reconnaissance team of the garrison who followed behind him was colorblind at first glance. He said he was in a "black robe", and as a result his clothes were gray. Big brother, do you want to look at the color of your clothes before you speak? This kind of plot setting is too unreasonable!
What's even more outrageous is that the waiter was able to find the location of the underground staff among all the guests. Obediently, this investigative ability is simply better than that of the garrison! Is this a waiter from the chief's house? I think it's a special team! This kind of outrageous plot simply makes people laugh out loud.
Next, the plot is even more speechless. The underground worker happened to be the mentor of the male protagonist Hua Zhen, and asked him to send a book to Shanghai and give it to an old friend. As a result, a "pit" was found when he arrived, and the sudden murder made the whole play full of suspense.
However, the murderer's behavior is too unreasonable, isn't it? Why didn't he just kill her to prevent future troubles? If he didn't want to do it at the door, for fear of attracting more people, then he could have dragged people into the room to solve the problem.
A little girl can't handle it, let alone kill a couple of adult men. This way of dealing with it is simply speechless.
and the scene of the protagonist suddenly popping out of the window when he was fleeing, which is even more funny.
Is this trying to show the wit and bravery of the main character, but it turns out that he is as funny as "Spider-Man". This ridiculous picture is simply an insult to the intelligence of the audience.
The young actor has a crotch pull
After watching "When the Stars Shine": The acting skills of the little fresh meat are really exciting!
Recently, I watched the spy movie "When the Stars Shine", and to be honest, I had mixed feelings after watching it.
It's not because the plot is not exciting, but because of the acting skills of some actors, it's really exciting!
Let's talk about Mr. Huang Zhizhong first, he played Hua Zhen's father in the play, and this role was really played by him.
Mr. Huang's unsmiling appearance exudes the majesty of a superior person all over his body, which is really awe-inspiring.
Mr. Huang's acting skills naturally have nothing to say, and they are definitely a highlight of this drama.
However, it is not enough to rely on an old actor like Mr. Huang Zhizhong. Those little fresh meats, hey, it's really hard to say.
Take the actor Li Xian as an example, he plays an ambitious man in the play, but at the same time he is also a son who hopes to be recognized by his father.
Such a role setting should have been very layered, but Li Xian's acting skills are really surprising.
You see him in the play, when he was waiting for his father's indifferent face, he should have looked disappointed and helpless, but what about Li Xian?
His face was glazed and his eyes were blank, like a puppet.
In this kind of performance, you can't see the inner world and emotional changes of the characters at all. I really can't figure out what happened to Li Xian? Could it be that he doesn't understand the role well enough, or is his acting skills really so bad?
Moreover, Li Xian's character is still a navy, and he should be a kind-hearted person with a sense of justice. But what about his performance in the play?
has an expressionless face, as if he is watching a good show that has nothing to do with him, and does not show the emotions and temperament of the character at all.
Compared with other actors, such as Wang Yibo, Li Xian's acting skills are simply insignificant.
Let's talk about Ren Min again, her performance in this drama is also indescribable.
She plays a policewoman, but she wears ancient costumes as if she was wearing clothes from the Republic of China, and this appearance is too distracting, right?
Moreover, the policewoman she played did not feel heroic at all, but looked delicate, is this really a policewoman?
Ren Min and Li Xian stand together, they are like a pair of sisters and brothers, and they have no sense of CP at all.
Whether it's looks or personality, they don't match each other at all, which makes people feel awkward when they look at it.
I'm really curious, how did the director cast the casting, and can this kind of combination really convince the audience?
As for the male protagonist's travels, I won't say how he looks, anyway, his acting skills are hard to explain.
His style of play and performance are a bit similar to the previous Dai Xu, but they are still a little worse than the others.
The scene between Chen Hao and the actor in the hotel corridor should have been very nervous, but the acting skills of the two of them were too watery, and I wanted to fast forward when I saw it.
Although the drama "When the Stars Shine" has an old actor like Huang Zhizhong in charge, the acting skills of those little fresh meat are really unbearable.
I think the director should be more careful when casting, not only pay attention to the appearance and popularity of the actors, but ignore their acting skills and role matching.
After all, a good drama, in addition to the wonderful plot, the acting skills of the actors are also very important!
epilogue
To be honest, I was originally very optimistic about "When the Stars Shine".
Spy war, Republic of China, suspense, detective, these are the hottest things now, how can they not be attractive?
"The Wind Chaser" is a special case, and domestic spy movies are still struggling in the quagmire.
This new drama has no morals at all, just like a child's house, it doesn't look like watching a bloody costume drama at all.
The aura of the male protagonist is also not weak, climbing the building with his bare hands, quite a bit of "tearing devils" taste, which is breathtaking.
When will there be a new development in spy movies?
I think only when the screenwriters really take the story seriously can the actors portray the characters well.
I only hope that the future spy war themes will not disappoint the audience.
Now that this new drama has just been updated, maybe there will be surprises waiting for you in the follow-up, I don't know if you are willing to continue to chase it?#春日生活打卡季##爆料##头条创作挑战赛#
