Spy war dramas have always been a type of TV series that are loved by the audience.
Not to mention, as a symbol of the official rise of the mainland film industry, the great success of the spy war blockbuster "The Wind" has confirmed to everyone how much the audience loves a good spy war drama.
More recently, this year's new "Wind Chaser" and "Harbin 1994" are all TV series that have set off a lot of popularity, no matter whether they are well-filmed or not, their value as commercial films cannot be denied.
Especially this year's "Harbin 1994", which is a collection of seed players starring Yang Mi and Qin Hao, can be said to be a TV series that has been full of topics during the promotion period of the series.
Qin Hao naturally doesn't need to say that as a middle-aged male star who has become popular in "The Hidden Corner", his acting skills and temperament are undoubtedly good, and Yang Mi, the 85 top flower, is also an actress who has always had a high degree of attention and discussion, and her ability to carry dramas should not be underestimated.
Combined with such a luxurious lineup, the director is Zhang Li, who directed many classic video works such as "Ming Dynasty 1566" and "Night Banquet", which can also be regarded as a big name in the industry.
Once it was broadcast, "Harbin 1994" did not live up to everyone's expectations, and the three channels were simulcast, which raised Dragon TV, which was almost at the bottom of the ratings, by several notches, which proved the popularity of this series.
At the same time, the leading actor Yang Mi also hopes to take advantage of this commercial boom to better break through this TV series.
In mid-May last year, when "Harbin 1994" was not yet released, Yang Mi had already said that because it was his first time playing this type of role, in order to achieve a perfect performance effect, he also specially invited a teacher for guidance.
And the director also said that Yang Mi is so serious on the set, he is almost always the first to come and the last to go, and he memorizes his lines well before filming, and even knows other people's lines.
has established such a high image, which naturally attracted many viewers to watch Yang Mi's transformation.
But it's a pity that maybe Yang Mi has indeed changed compared to his previous unchanged performance, but obviously this change still does not meet the standard recognized by the audience.
The simplest thing is everyone's denial of Yang Mi's role as a female spy.
Many netizens believe that the character of Guan Xue, the protagonist in the play, is more complex and layered, although she has always maintained her coldness and indifference as a spy leader on the surface, but in her heart, the entanglement of oath of allegiance and self-consciousness makes this character cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and a hot heart is constantly beating and struggling.
But Yang Mi's performance is only superficial.
Crying is crying, laughing is laughing, insidious is insidious, doubt is doubt, in every frame, Yang Mi's performance has almost no superfluous emotional mixture, just pure acting.
Some netizens commented spicily, this is to highlight the good acting skills and deliberately pretend that the acting skills are good, but the basic skills are not solid, and the performance traces are too obvious.
Compared with the final interpretation effect that Yang Mi wants to present and the feedback from the masses, the results of "Harbin 1994" are undoubtedly almost failing.
For Yang Mi, this turnaround battle, the transformation from a beautiful Hua Dan to a powerful acting school was not successful.
Not to mention that compared with several other 85-year-old opponents, even compared to other actresses who have played similar roles, the performance of "Harbin 1994" is still much inferior.
So, let's take a look at some of the best female agent characters.
Wang Ou
Wang Ou and Yang Mi always have an unclear relationship.
But no matter what the private situation or the matter is, these two are still quite fated in role-playing.
is also a cold and ruthless female agent, I have to say that Wang Ou's performance is more mature and charming.
In 2015's "The Pretender", not only Hu Ge, Wang Kai and other protagonists are quite popular, but Wang Manchun played by Wang Ou also attracted countless audiences.
Wang Manchun is ruthless, she is a puppet and minions of foreign enemies, although she has lost her conscience, but her conscience will stay for her brother, although she is ruthless, but she will be confused by Mingjing's "sister-in-law" compliment.
It is such a three-dimensional and multi-faceted character that will make people have the urge to understand her.
But the complex character background requires quite solid actor basic skills to show.
In a scene where Wang Manchun and the eldest sister confronted each other, the eldest sister was full of firepower and aggressive, and Wang Ou superimposed the emotions of anger and grievances quite perfectly, allowing the audience to see that Wang Manchun also had the weakness of "Ming Lou" in his heart.
In addition, the makeup and arrangement of the pretender are quite careful, the well-groomed hair, and the meticulous military uniform, all of which show the capable and exquisite side of Wang Manchun, a spy.
On the other hand, in "Harbin 1994", the service Huadao cannot be regarded as perfect, but can only be barely qualified, coupled with the obscure filter and lighting, it loses a lot of "The Pretender" in terms of color and texture.
There is no way, the difference in the crew and the difference in personnel, it can only be said that Yang Mi lost unjustly this time.
Wen Zhengrong
Wen Zhengrong may not be familiar to everyone, but she does often appear in the occasion of the Republic of China TV series.
Wen Zhengrong is a typical actor's face, one moment can deduce the heroic and invincible sacrifice of the female soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, and the other can deduce the paranoid and crazy neuroticism.
Wen Zhengrong is a typical actor with too skilled acting skills, this is the evaluation given to her by director Chen Kaige on "Actors Please Be in Place".
An actor with such skillful skills is also handy to play a female spy.
Wen Zhengrong has filmed many war spy blockbusters, such as "Stinger", which is a spy who goes deep into the belly of the enemy, Wen Zhengrong not only handles the psychological changes of spies in danger with ease, but also performs them easily in various sensational plots.
Wen Zhengrong is worthy of being born in a professional class, and his acting skills and figure are absolutely a perfect fit.
Tao Xinran
Everyone's impression of Tao Xinran may be more An Lingrong in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
The role of An Lingrong is also loved and hated, on the one hand, she is vicious to the extreme, and on the other hand, she seems to be a poor person who is coerced by the times.
In short, Tao Xinran can be said to be quite experienced in handling such a controversial role.
For example, in 2016's "Rouge", Tao Xinran's role as a special high-tech agent Feng Manna is also a character who has been blackened after suffering.
Tao Xinran shows this blackening process in a natural way, and there is no need for background music or big black eye makeup to suppress the aura, she just looks at her and moves it, everyone will know that she is about to see blood again.
It's really a bit bullying to compare Tao Xinran's spy with her, after all, there are really few young actresses who can play double-faced and scheming.
Tao Xinran's acting skills are trustworthy.
Song Yi
I talked about Wang Manchun before, how can I not talk about Yu Manli?
The two golden flowers that came out of "The Pretender" are both sharp, sharp and sharp, and the beauty is vividly displayed in these two spies.
Yu Manli is also a more tragic figure.
Her sacrifice has made many viewers uneasy to calm down to this day, Yu Manli's personality is not hanging like Wang Manchun, she is real, down-to-earth, and she has to say out loud what she doesn't like, she is a likable hot girl style.
Generally speaking, such roles are often not easy to play vividly.
If the acting is too popular, it will either be said to be unreasonable and noisy to persuade people to retreat, but if it is not played in place, the audience will be angry because of the poor acting skills in the case of frequent actors in the play.
But even if the role of Yu Manli is so difficult to shape, Song Yi can still handle the balance between the two quite perfectly.
For us, Song Yi's charm is not in her delicate and small face, but more in the charm and temperament brought by her character charm.
The success of Yu Manli's role has proved Song Yi's strength, so I won't go into details.
Luo Haiqiong
Luo Haiqiong is also a relatively famous actor.
In 2017, Luo Haiqiong won the Huading Award for Best Actress with "Kite".
For such an acting master, we don't need to overintroduce her performance in the play.
What's more amazing is that Luo Haiqiong's big eyes give her a natural sense of innocence and purity, but she can also play the ability and tenacity of a spy, and her highly malleable temperament makes Luo Haiqiong successfully appear on the list this time.
Wen Yongshan
When everyone sees Wen Yongshan, some people will think of "She Who Disappeared", but some people will think of "The Wind".
I have to say that Wen Yongshan's temperament is really special, with a temperament that no one should enter, and a sexy style in mystery.
It's no wonder that Chen Sicheng asked Wen Yongshan to star in "She Who Disappeared".
Born as a model, Wen Yongshan was born with healthier skin and more delicate facial features than other models.
In "The Wind", Li Ningyu, played by Wen Yongshan, is capable and intelligent, and everything seems to be under her control.
shows the domineering and courage that a female high-level should have, and has a feeling of "very smart at a glance".
Wen Yongshan's performance can definitely match the heroic spy image.
Conclusion:
I don't know if I don't take stock, it turns out that so many actresses have starred in spy war series.
In terms of inventory, most of the actors have their own characteristics, some of them are special enough in their own temperament, and some are amazing with their background stories and settings.
But no matter what, it tells us that the competition in the spy war series is still quite fierce, and if you want to come in and get a piece of the pie, you have to contact again.
Acting is the real kung fu.
