I don't know if after the end of "The Story of Rose", have you fallen into a drama famine?
Although many new dramas have been launched one after another, the quality is mediocre, the plot is cliché, and the highlights are limited, which is really lackluster.
If you want to save the audience's drama shortage, you can only watch the next series to be broadcast.
Among them, the most eye-catching is Zhang Songwen, Zeng Shunxi starring in the spy war drama "Lonely Boat".
It is rumored on the Internet that this drama will soon meet the audience, and it will also be changed from an exclusive broadcast on the webcast platform to a dual-network simulcast.
With Zhang Songwen in charge, half of the success is already achieved, looking at the plot and the overall lineup, as soon as "Lonely Boat" is broadcast, the audience will not have to be short of drama.
First, the returnee young master outwitted the traitors, and the contest between good and evil was about to break out
The biggest attraction of the spy war theme is how our underground workers hide their true identities and fight wits and courage with villains.
The story setting of this "Lonely Boat" is no exception, focusing on the young master Gu Yizhong (played by Zeng Shunxi), a famous family in Suzhou.
He graduated from the Department of Architecture of a famous foreign university, and after returning to China, he was obsessed with the study of Suzhou's famous gardens and ancient architecture.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Gu Yizhong insisted on staying in Suzhou, called protecting cultural relics, but in fact, he wanted to actively participate in the anti-Japanese war activities.
An architectural talent like Gu Yizhong is naturally highly valued, not only because of his personal ability, but also because of his family background.
In a rescue operation, Gu Yizhong was framed as a traitor in the party, and everyone betrayed and left for a while.
Unable to prove his innocence, in order to find out the real traitor, Gu Yizhong took the initiative to infiltrate the Japanese puppet and became an undercover member of our party in the Suzhou secret service station.
This hidden identity can bring a natural highlight to the series, in the eyes of everyone, Gu Yizhong is a shameless traitor. In the eyes of Zhou Zhifei (played by Zhang Songwen), the head of the Suzhou Secret Service Station, the two are even more regarded as the same kind of people.
But Zhou Zhifei was wary of Gu Yizhong everywhere, and did not trust Gu Yizhong to really surrender to the Japanese army, Gu Yizhong cleverly used the contradiction between the Japanese army adviser and Zhou Zhifei to restrain Zhou Zhifei everywhere.
Not only because the identity of a traitor is unpopular with the people, but also because he was framed as a traitor in the party, he had to prove his innocence. Under heavy pressure, Gu Yizhong continued to collect intelligence, and finally caught the real traitor in the party.
A drama puts the background of the story before and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, which means that not only to let the audience watch the thrilling spy war during the Anti-Japanese War, but also to present the fate and ending of the traitors and invaders after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
In the play, Gu Yizhong returned to the architectural career he loved, and made significant contributions to the construction industry in the mainland.
Such a spy war drama is not inferior to those male and female dramas.
Second, the strong lineup has become a highlight, and the supporting roles are all powerful
However, compared to the plot of this "Lonely Boat", what I am looking forward to more is the performance of the actors in the play.
These five actors alone make "Lonely Boat" worth watching.
The first place, Zhang Songwen.
knew that Zhang Songwen was good at playing a villain, but he didn't expect him to play a big traitor who couldn't be washed away in "Lonely Boat".
When Gao Qiqiang starred in "Hurricane" before, he at least had the advantage of favoring his wife, and he started from scratch, from a fishmonger to a gangster, which was more or less inspirational.
This also made Zhang Songwen play a negative image in "Hurricane", but he was well received by everyone.
However, this time Zhou Zhifei played by Zhang Songwen in "Lonely Boat" is a traitor to seek glory and help the Japanese invade their own country.
But even so, Zhou Zhifei played by Zhang Songwen believes that he will become the villain ceiling in spy war dramas.
In the trailer, he is obviously a villain, but he pointed to the male protagonist to label the other party as a traitor, and his treacherous and unbeatable appearance already makes people angry when he looks at it.
The character's behavior does not rise to the level of an actor, from the perspective of acting skills, Zhang Songwen can still win back a game for himself.
second place, Zeng Shunxi.
Seeing that it was Zeng Shunxi who was playing against Zhang Songwen, his first reaction was that he was worried that he would not be able to catch the play.
This is because Zeng Shunxi rarely starred in works with the theme of spy wars before, and several masterpieces in succession, such as "The Legend of Jianan", "Tian Gengji", etc., did not reach the passing line with the average score of word-of-mouth.
It is also difficult to believe that Zeng Shunxi can play the role of Gu Yizhong in the play well, and he can also perform the effect of a double-strong duel with Zhang Songwen.
But in the past two years, Zeng Shunxi has changed everyone's opinion of him with his works, "Going to a Windy Place", "Lotus Tower", "Ultimate Notes" and other works have word-of-mouth evaluations above 8 points, and the characters he plays are also very different.
Therefore, Zeng Shunxi is likely to be the most surprising actor in "Lonely Boat".
third place, Chen Turin.
In the trailer, Chen Duling, who saw the appearance of the Republic of China, was instantly beautiful, she was not only the chosen ancient, but also the Miss of the National University.
However, because Chen Duling's appearance is very high, it is always easy for people to ignore her acting skills.
But Chen Duling's roles in the past few years, whether it is Qiao Wanmian in "Lotus Tower" or a one-person triangle in "Long Moon Embers", are all easily controlled.
In a spy war drama like "Lonely Boat", Chen Turin will most likely not show timidity.
fourth place, Zhang Fengyi.
The old drama bone Zhang Fengyi is also coming to play a supporting role, and he is upright, and he will portray Gu Xixing, the master of the Gu family, a famous family in Suzhou.
Although the character design of this character is still in suspense, looking at Zhang Fengyi's resolute eyes and unyielding posture in the stills, he is obviously a patriot.
However, such a role is often easy to become a thorn in the side of the Japanese, and I don't know if Zhang Fengyi will contribute tears.
Fifth place, Monday Wai.
Zhou Yiwei, who was familiar with Zhang Songwen, also came.
The roles he plays in the play account for a lot of scenes, and there is no specific name, just Mr. Li.
Zhou Yiwei is an actor who plays the leading role easily makes people feel greasy, but playing a supporting role can steal the limelight of the protagonist, and he can't help but want to watch him play with his friend Zhang Songwen in the play.
epilogue
This year's domestic spy war drama shined, after "The Wind Chaser" starring Wang Yang and Wang Yibo, Li Xian and Ren Min's "When the Stars Shine" was launched.
In the market of dramas to be broadcast, there are many dramas of the same type, and "Lonely Boat" is a work that is very attractive in terms of configuration and plot setting.
With Zhang Songwen, the new top of the uncle circle, escorting the quality assurance of the drama works, and many powerful factions joining, the ceiling of the 2024 spy war drama is likely to change from "The Wind Chaser" to "Lonely Boat".
Do you think "Lonely Boat" will look better than "The Wind Chaser"?
