Staying up late to brush up on eight episodes, I can only say that the pace of the beginning of this drama is really too fast.
From the beginning of the arrest operation, there was no intention to give the audience a chance to breathe, and it also allowed many important characters to appear one after another, and the key clues were constantly buried, in addition to the setting of the foreshadowing, the relationship between the characters and the personality of the characters also slowly gave direction.
"Forerunner" I had a hunch that it would explode, but at present, the entry is still the original name of "Party Group", there is no time to change it, the propaganda is also very low-key, so it was suddenly broadcast.
It may also be because it has been backlogged for a long time, after all, the story content involves many forces, the Wang faction, the Jiang faction, the French Concession, the Huajie, and our people, and the multi-force complex, this is not easy to shoot.
"The Forerunner" is a cooperation between Zhang Luyi and Nie Yuan, to be honest, since watching Zhang Luyi's "Red", I am especially looking forward to him being able to star in spy dramas again, this time it is a dream come true, and, from the currently played plot, Zhang Luyi's acting skills are really very good.
Ma Tianmu, played by him, was a soldier of the Northern Expedition who later went to France because of his injury and studied there, and then was developed into our person. As a soldier, he was meticulous and fearless in the face of danger, and as a student, he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
Playing against Zhang Luyi was Nie Yuan, who played Tang Xianping and Ma Tianmu, who were comrades-in-arms, and later joined the Kuomintang and became loyal thugs of the Chiang Faction and the most powerful opponent of our side.
The current plot direction is to deliberately win tang Xianping, but Tang Xianping does not seem to be cold, and has always acted as a forward to arrest us, and even almost destroyed our transportation of document Zero several times.
Using the Zero file as a traction line to let Ma Tianmu maneuver between multiple forces is a big test for Zhang Luyi's acting skills.
The first eight episodes mainly revolved around the rescue of Comrade Chen Lie, and now the biggest threat is that Nanjing actually brought the biggest traitor Pei Ruhai, who knew all the underground organizations in Shanghai, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of sending Document Zero.
This drama from the beginning did not intend to hide everyone's identity, a bit of Liu Yunlong spy war film flavor, that is, do not need the audience to guess the identity, the most important scene is how the enemy and I fight wits and courage, which is a test of the screenwriter's skill, but at present after watching eight episodes, I have not found any obvious loopholes.
Seeing a hot search, it is about the rhythm of the plot of "The Forerunner", indeed, the best part of this drama is its rhythm, not dragging mud and water, the story is promoted crisply and neatly, giving the audience a more straightforward sense of urgency.
In order to cover Chen Lie's blowing up the room, encountering traitors selling antique shops and being even potd, Chen Lie was arrested when he was jointed, Ma Tianmu rescued Chen Lie, Tang Xianping began to be suspicious of Ma Tianmu, Pei Ruhai came to Shanghai, and many forces targeted the freight passage of Ma Tianmu's foreign firm...
This drama gives a lot of information, but it is not chaotic at all, and, whether it is the protagonist or supporting roles, the character portrayal is very obvious, using characters to promote the development of the plot and let the plot serve the characters, which is something that many spy dramas cannot do.
I especially like the opponent play of Zhang Luyi and Nie Yuan, the two were once comrades-in-arms, but now they belong to different camps, although the surface and temperament, but the two people have their own thoughts, you come and I continue to test.
The performances of the two are very stable, Nie Yuan's kind of fierceness is hidden, Zhang Luyi's calmness is also hidden, and the quality of the acting skills is never reflected by roaring or running away, but just a look can also make the audience instantly enter the play, achieve emotional resonance and interaction.
Previously, Zhu Yilong's "Rebel" was about the choice of faith, while Zhang Luyi's "The Forerunner" was about the refinement of faith, but in the end it was the same way, and the actors chose to be able to support the scene of the old drama bones.
Now there is a little worry about the actress, one is Han Xue, one is Guo Xiaoting, both of them have appeared, Han Xue's performance is OK, but I always feel that Guo Xiaoting's performance is a bit too much, I don't know if it will affect the follow-up plot.
Overall, "The Forerunner" started well, it depends on whether the story behind it can be equally wonderful, if it can be stabilized, I bet it will become a hit.
