In the sea of domestic dramas, spy war dramas used to be a bright star, but in recent years, they have retired behind the scenes, few popular models have come out, and the audience has gradually lost their enthusiasm for it.
However, the turning point in 2024 is quietly coming, and a drama called "The Wind Chaser" has rekindled people's enthusiasm for spy war dramas, as if injecting new vitality into the genre.
However, just when people were looking forward to it, the appearance of another drama "When the Stars Shine" once again made people question the future of domestic spy war dramas.
"When the Stars Shine" is set during the Anti-Japanese War, and the story revolves around a group of young people such as Hua Zhen, the protagonist who was born in a high-ranking Kuomintang official family.
This setting was originally full of expectations, after all, the historical background of the Anti-Japanese War period is always desirable.
But after the plot was broadcast, netizens complained on major social platforms, saying that this drama was full of loopholes and made people cry and laugh.
Netizen Xiaohua said: I wonder, is this the period of the Anti-Japanese War? The guards let go of the underground workers, and they didn't even do a report to verify it?
Some netizens ridiculed: Is the doorman blind? Or has he received any benefits? This kind of absurd plot design makes the audience feel incredible.
Another netizen Dabai also has his own opinion: The police captain is colorblind? Hahaha, is this trying to make me laugh? This kind of low-level mistake can also be put into the play, is the screenwriter joking? He also added: It seems that the screenwriter has no intention of making this drama reliable.
In addition to their dissatisfaction with the plot, netizens also questioned the character's performance.
Some netizens said: The actor's expression is really too dull, it feels like he is reading a manuscript, and there is no emotion at all.
Another netizen sighed: The heroine looks like a student, how can she look like a policeman? This is too unusual! The audience is dissatisfied with the performance of the actors.
In general, "When the Stars Shine", as an anti-Japanese war spy war drama, although the background setting is attractive, the design of the plot is unacceptable.
The absurd plot and low-level mistakes make it difficult for the audience to immerse themselves, and the actors' performances are not convincing.
In the face of the audience's complaints, perhaps the crew needs to seriously reflect and revise the plot and characters in order to restore the audience's confidence.
The performance of the actors also failed to surprise the audience, which netizens unceremoniously expressed their opinions.
Some netizens wrote on social platforms: Li Xian's acting skills are so bad that he doesn't look like a protagonist at all!
Another netizen also replied: That's right! He acted in an emotional scene like he was acting in an eye-rolling competition, he was not emotionally invested at all, and he was in a bad mood to see people.
Regarding the performance of the heroine Ren Min, netizens also expressed their disappointment.
Someone left a message in the comment area saying: Ren Min's acting skills still need to be improved, the policeman she plays is like a joke, without the seriousness and professionalism of the police.
Another netizen joked: Yes, is this how the police are ticking?
As for the male No. 2 tour, he has become the target of ridicule from netizens.
Some netizens joked: Zhou You's acting skills are too embarrassing, the interaction with other actors is simply acting in a cold scene, and the scene is really embarrassing.
Another netizen jokingly replied: His performance is like a tug-of-war, one person is pulling hard there, and everyone else is flying kites.
In general, "When the Stars Shine", as a domestic spy war drama, although it has an attractive background setting, it shows obvious deficiencies in the logic of the plot and the performance of the actors, which has aroused widespread doubts and criticism from the audience.
A netizen named Xiao Wang, a TV fan, left a message in the comment area: After watching "When the Stars Shine", I think the screenwriter may have fallen asleep in the middle of writing the script, and the director also ran away in the middle of filming, right?
Another netizen drama analyst, Xiao Li, commented: The actors' performance is also miserable, Li Xian's acting skills are dull, Ren Min's acting skills are immature, and Zhou You is extremely embarrassing.
He also said: I wanted to unsubscribe after watching an episode, but unfortunately I had already spent money, so I could only watch it hard.
Looking back on Li Xian, Li Xian actively participated in a series of environmental protection activities in 2017, speaking out for the protection of wildlife and the environment.
His actions not only won the support of fans, but also sparked discussions and appreciation from some netizens.
On social media, a netizen green fan expressed his opinion: Li Xian is really amazing! Not only is he an outstanding actor, but he also actively participates in environmental protection public welfare activities and shouts for the protection of wild animals and plants.
This sense of responsibility and spirit of responsibility is really admirable!
Another netizen, Xiao Ming, an environmental protection volunteer, also left a message in the comment area: It is really exciting to see celebrities participating in environmental protection public welfare activities! I hope that more public figures can join in the cause of environmental protection and jointly contribute to the future of the earth.
In March 2017, Li Xian promoted the United Nations World Wildlife Day, calling on everyone to actively participate in wildlife conservation through public welfare videos and social media.
This move has been praised by many netizens, and some netizens wrote on Weibo: Seeing Li Xian speak out for wildlife, I feel that the world has more warmth.
I hope we can be like him, pay attention to environmental protection and care for our earth.
In December 2017, Li Xian once again supported the third session of the United Nations Environment Assembly, helping the theme of overcoming pollution through public welfare videos.
This move also triggered a positive response from netizens, and some netizens expressed their views on the WeChat circle of friends: Seeing Li Xian's public welfare video, I decided to pay more attention to environmental protection from now on, drive less and ride more bicycles, use less disposable plastic products, start from the small things around me, and make a contribution to environmental protection.
Li Xian's environmental protection actions have not only attracted attention in the entertainment industry, but also had a positive impact on society.
I hope that he can continue to use his influence to guide more people to pay attention to environmental protection issues and work together for the sustainable development of the earth.
However, some netizens are optimistic about such a failure, believing that this is an opportunity to solve the problem.
A netizen drama fan Xiaoding left a message on social platforms: I hope this failure can make the production team reflect, improve the quality of the script and the performance of the actors, and bring us better works in the future.
He also said: Although "When the Stars Shine" is terrible, I am full of expectations for the future of domestic spy war dramas.
To sum up, although "When the Stars Shine" has many problems, it also gives the creators a chance to improve.
I hope they can take the audience's feedback seriously and shoot the plot with heart, and the actors will also work harder to save the audience's confidence.
I look forward to seeing a more logical and ornamental domestic spy war drama come out in the future, rekindling the audience's enthusiasm for this theme and rejuvenating the spy war drama.
