01 Introduction
The recently launched spy war drama "Harbin 1944", I don't know if you have watched it.
The joining of Yang Mi in this drama has undoubtedly aroused great expectations from the audience.
But judging from the content of the broadcast, whether it is Yang Mi's acting skills or the overall trend of the plot, it seems that it has not reached the level expected by the audience.
After watching it, many viewers even started the spy war drama before "archaeology".
It is true that compared with the previous spy war drama market, the works released now are really not so interesting.
So let's take stock of the excellent spy war dramas in the mainland in the past 30 years!
02《The Dresser》
In fact, just looking at the work "The Pretender", it is already good enough in the spy war dramas in recent years, but if you stretch the line of sight to nearly 30 years, it can only be relegated to the last place.
The story of "The Pretender" revolves around the Ming family sisters and brothers, although the four sisters and brothers have different identities, they are all striving for the same goals and ideals.
In this drama, the most outstanding male character is the role of the eldest brother "Ming Lou" played by Jin Dong.
He is not only an economic adviser to the Financial Secretary, but also a spy of the military command - "Viper", and "Cobra", driven by a complex identity, Ming Lou wears multiple masks and maneuvers between various forces, so that the audience's hearts often tug for him.
One of the great advantages of this drama is in the creation of characters.
In "The Pretender", all the characters are not flat and face-painted, and we can also feel her charm in the villain.
One of the villains in the play, Wang Manchun, although he has done all the evil things, he has always been affectionate and righteous to Minglou, and his final death is also because he can't give up his feelings for Minglou.
Her offline made the audience feel relieved and regretful.
And with the role of "Wang Manchun", her actor Wang Ou has also successfully come out of the circle, even now, everyone can often brush the cut of this role on the short video platform.
Wang Ou's success in character creation can also be seen.
03 "The Eternal Wave"
is also a film and television work in recent years, "The Eternal Wave" is based on real historical events, so it is also more touching.
As a spy war drama, "The Eternal Wave" tells the story of how the underground party sacrificed their lives and forgot to die in that special era for the confidentiality and transmission of important information.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this work that Jiao Junyan has been seen by more people.
In this drama, his long hair style is also eye-catching, coupled with his excellent acting skills, this excellent spy war drama has been achieved.
But the fly in the ointment is that this work still hasn't completely gotten rid of the shortcomings of domestic spy warfare, the portrayal of the Japanese is too thin and one-sided, and the halo of the protagonist is too serious.
As a result, the audience will have a slight sense of separation when watching the drama, and they will not be able to empathize.
But overall, this drama can be regarded as a pretty good work.
04 "Kite"
The story of this drama is set in the mountain city of 1946, and it mainly tells the story of Zheng Yaoxian, an underground party codenamed "Kite", how he was between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the civil war.
In addition to the twists and turns in the plot, this drama's portrayal of the heart of "Kite" is also quite incisive, although the Communists have firm beliefs, but they are born in troubled times, and it is inevitable that they will encounter wavering.
Therefore, at this time, in the face of the contradictions between the enemy and ourselves, the conflict between love and ideals, the "kite" still chose to stick to its faith in countless entanglements and struggles, and made indelible contributions to the final victory of our party.
And the preciousness of this drama is also here, it tells the image of the most real and ordinary underground party members.
In the face of the temptation of the enemy, as well as the ups and downs of troubled times, a person is indeed likely to fall into the vortex of confusion.
However, the real heroism is precisely after seeing through all this, he still firmly adheres to the revolution and protects his original intention, and Zheng Yaoxian in the play is just such a person.
No matter how much pressure he was under, no matter what kind of persecution he experienced, no matter how great the difficulties he encountered, Zheng Yaoxian still did not forget his mission and worked hard for the liberation of the whole nation.
After watching this drama, I believe that in addition to having a strong admiration for the revolutionary martyrs in the play, you will also start a deep reflection on national hatred, family hatred and human nature in your heart.
The author of this work is Liu Yunlong, who is known as the "Godfather of Spy War", and his name is almost a guarantee of the quality of spy war dramas.
And through "Kite", we can indeed see Liu Yunlong's solid professional ability and depth of thought.
05 "No War in Peking"
If you collect seven dragon balls and can summon a divine dragon, then you can collect seven movie stars to "summon" a work like "No War in Peking".
With a strong cast, before the official broadcast, this drama was highly anticipated by everyone, and "No War in Peking" did not disappoint everyone, presenting the audience with an almost perfect audio-visual feast.
The acting skills of the actors, naturally, there is nothing to say, pick out a role with a little weight in this drama at random, and put it in other dramas, and the acting skills can almost take the lead.
In addition, the plot of this drama also gave the audience a very high evaluation.
As a spy war drama, the most important thing is the arrangement of suspense and the interlocking logic between the plots, and "No War in Peking" has done a very good job in these aspects.
In the play, a lot of foreshadowing was laid from the beginning.
When the suspense of the story is revealed, or there is a reversal, it is precisely because of the existence of these foreshadowings that the audience will not feel abrupt, but will have a feeling of "it turned out to be like this".
It is precisely because of the meticulous craftsmanship of the crew and actors that "No War in Peking" has achieved a good score of 9.0 points on Douban, you know, this is not easy.
Even if this drama is already considered an "old" work, its advantages still need to be carefully pondered and studied carefully by the current spy war drama director.
I hope that works of this level can appear more in the audience's field of vision in the future.
06 "Before Dawn"
When I saw that the director of this drama was Liu Jiang, before the broadcast, I believe that many viewers would feel "stable" in their hearts.
is also a well-known spy war drama director, Liu Jiang's production is almost quality assurance, and "Before Dawn" is still Liu Jiang's work, with a high standard.
If the general spy war drama will put the audience in the perspective of God, and you can know the identity of the protagonist at the beginning of the story, then "Before Dawn" seems to pay more attention to the audience's "sense of experience".
In this drama, when you watch a few episodes, you may not have figured out what camp the protagonists belong to, and their style of acting in both good and evil just makes the design more "emotional".
In addition, although this drama takes spy warfare as the main line of the story, whether it is a friendship line or a family line, Liu Jiang portrays it really and delicately enough, so it is also moving enough.
Among them, the most moving thing for the audience is the comradeship between the protagonists, this special emotion that transcends life and death, so that we in the era of peace cannot but be moved and shocked.
This work also achieved quite gratifying results in that year, Magnolia, Feitian, and Golden Eagle were all cut into the bag by this drama.
There is no doubt that "Before Dawn" definitely deserves such an honor.
07《Latent》
was launched at the same time as "Before Dawn", as well as the classic spy war drama "Latent".
As one of the two twin stars of the 2008 spy war drama, even now, the classic plot of "Latent" is still talked about by everyone.
Sun Honglei even relied on this drama to increase his fame by a big step.
This drama tells the story of 1945, Yu Zecheng, who was a spy of the military command, was deeply isolated and helpless because of the betrayal of his colleagues.
When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was about to be won, Yu Zecheng continued to struggle in the face of faith and reality, and finally chose to help our party secretly lurk and go deep into the interior of the enemy army.
Yu Zecheng, the protagonist in this drama, is not a perfect person, on the contrary, he also has a lot of ordinary people's problems.
Including Yu Zecheng's biggest dream, in fact, it is also a "hot kang head for his wife and children", living a fulfilling life as an ordinary person.
But it is precisely because of these that this character seems real enough, and his final choice to stick to his faith and adhere to the decision of the revolution is moving enough.
In addition, the relationship between Yu Zecheng and Cui Ping is also a point of interest to many people, whether it is family background or personality temperament, the two people who are diametrically opposite get together and create different sparks.
In addition to the protagonist, the other characters in the play are also portrayed very vividly, in this drama, we can not only feel the brilliance of Yu Zecheng's characters, but also see the pictures of thousands of ordinary people in that era.
08 Epilogue
I hope that in the near future, there will be more excellent film and television dramas like the above six works in the mainland's spy war drama market.
So, among these works, which is the best spy war drama in your heart?
