When it comes to the most heroic and romantic and classic anti-Japanese dramas on the market, it is undoubtedly "Bright Sword" and "Snow Leopard".
These two anti-Japanese dramas are not only loved by the audience, but also achieved amazing ratings when they were released, and their strength can be said to be equal.
However, what is unexpected is that as time goes by, the reputation of "Bright Sword" is still rave reviews, while the reputation of "Snow Leopard" has plummeted.
For this scene, some people may say that it is because of the article of the protagonist of "Snow Leopard", but in fact, this is not the main reason for the poor review of the show.
Next, we will compare the details of the two anti-Japanese dramas together, and the gap will be known at a glance, especially the difference in the degree of restoration.
"Comparison in Degree of Restoration"
I believe that the audience who has watched "Bright Sword" knows that this drama has achieved the ultimate in restoration, whether it is the Battle of Ping'an County or the Battle of Zhao Jiayu, there is a prototype in history.
Although there are some "deifications" of these two battles in "Bright Sword", the realism makes people can't help but stick out their thumbs, which makes the audience in front of the screen enthusiastic.
Not only that, "Bright Sword" also has a high degree of restoration in costumes, and the neckline and cuffs of Li Yunlong's military uniform in the play are dirty almost all the time.
Throughout the play, Li Yunlong only wore a clean military uniform twice, and the first time he worked in the quilt factory, his neckline was very clean and tidy, and the white shirt inside was spotless.
The second time was the day Li Yunlong and Xiuqin got married, after all, this was an important day in his life, and Li Yunlong cleaned up his neckline.
Not only that, in addition to the dirty neckline and cuffs of Li Yunlong's military uniform in "Bright Sword", Kong Jie and Zhao Gang's military uniforms are no exception.
Although the dirty uniforms of the two are not as dirty as Li Yunlong, the traces of fading and the patches on their bodies also fully demonstrate the lack of materials for our soldiers in history.
On top of that, some of the ordinary fighters in the play don't even have clothes, and almost every fighter is disgraced.
And these details are just right in the bright sword, after all, almost every day is fighting, how can the soldiers care about their dress, the only thought in their minds is to fight devils.
But on the other hand, the anti-Japanese drama "Snow Leopard", the details of the uniforms in the play are not handled very well, I believe that it is not difficult for the audience who have watched this drama to find that the warrior uniforms in the snow leopard are very neat and clean.
Whether it is around the protagonist or ordinary warriors, their clothes are very brand new, and the makeup on the faces of the female warriors is also a bit out of place.
It is not difficult for us to see this compared with "Bright Sword", although Xiuqin in "Bright Sword" is not disgraced, but her face is not covered with heavy makeup, and her yellowed face and white and peeled lips fully restore the state of the historical Anti-Japanese War.
Although Li Yunlong's second wife Tian Yu in the back, her skin looks much better than Xiuqin, but if we take a closer look through close-ups, you will find that Tian Yu is actually not wearing makeup, and the pores on her face are clearly visible.
And the skin of Bai Zhe on Tian Yu's face is actually a detail, because when Li Yunlong and Tian Yu got married, the Anti-Japanese War had come to an end, and it was different from the Anti-Japanese War period when Li Yunlong and Xiuqin got married.
Therefore, it is not difficult for us to see that "Snow Leopard" is still almost interesting in comparison with "Bright Sword" in terms of uniformization and restoration.
"Comparison in armament"
The two anti-Japanese dramas "Bright Sword" and "Snow Leopard", in addition to the big difference in historical restoration, are self-evident in weapons and equipment.
When it comes to the equipment of our soldiers during the anti-Japanese period in history, you must know that our weapons were very backward at that time, and we used millet plus rifles against the aircraft artillery of the devils.
Not only that, but the material situation of our army was particularly tight at that time, and many fighters could not even allocate grenades, not even a pistol.
Looking at all the anti-Japanese themes on the market, the anti-Japanese drama that best reflects the lack of weapons and materials is definitely "Bright Sword".
I believe that the audience who has watched "Bright Sword" knows that almost all the weapons in Li Yunlong's independent regiment in the play were not distributed by superiors, but captured through war.
In fact, it is not difficult to see this from Li Yunlong's lines in the play, when Zhao Gang learned the news of Li Yunlong's private transfer of troops, he immediately reprimanded the other party.
In this regard, Li Yunlong said angrily and confidently: "When I first took over the new regiment, there were less than ten light machine guns in the whole regiment, none of the heavy machine guns, and the rifles were old sleeves, and neither of them could share a gun. ”
On the other hand, the anti-Japanese drama "Snow Leopard" is too mythical, and almost all of Zhou Weiguo's submachine guns are used when he fights in the play, which is in stark contrast to Li Yunlong's small pistol.
In addition, Zhou Weiguo's troops have all kinds of heavy machine guns, which is inconsistent with the Anti-Japanese War period in history, which must be clear to everyone.
The most important thing is that when Zhou Weiguo led the troops to fight in the play, almost all of their guns were "unlimited bullets", and they couldn't finish fighting, which was the same as the operation in some anti-Japanese dramas.
"Contrasts in Supporting Roles"
Another reason for the gap between the word-of-mouth of "Bright Sword" and "Snow Leopard" is undoubtedly the problem of supporting roles.
For example, Monk Wei, who values love and righteousness and is strong in martial arts, Xiuqin who shouts and fires, Wang Yousheng who guards the warehouse, and Zhang Dabiao, who likes to lose hats, and so on.
This series of supporting roles left a deep impression on the audience, and was even given many nicknames by netizens later, such as "Lost Hat", "Contemptible Super", "Kong Enjoyable" and so on.
And one of the most touching characters in these supporting roles is undoubtedly Sun Desheng, the company commander of the cavalry company, whose sentence "cavalry company attack" has shouted into the hearts of many people, making people unable to calm down for a long time.
Even the group performance that only lasted a few minutes after leaving the country can make people talk endlessly, such as the pillar who died tragically in the first episode of "Bright Sword", and the dialogue with Li Yunlong makes people laugh.
But let's take a look at the supporting roles in "Snow Leopard", almost none of them can be called "famous", and the image created is very mediocre.
And the audience who has watched the anti-Japanese drama "Snow Leopard" seems to be deeply impressed by the name Zhou Weiguo, and the rest of the supporting roles are not outstanding.
Based on the above comparison between "Bright Sword" and "Snow Leopard", it must not be difficult for everyone to see why "Bright Sword" can become more and more popular, so that it has become the "ceiling work" of anti-Japanese war dramas, while "Snow Leopard" has fallen off the altar and is gradually forgotten.
