Introduction: When "Breakout" was launched, there was a work quietly launched, many netizens gave an 8-point opening evaluation in the early days, and many people thought that this might become a blockbuster, and the momentum of counterattacking now "Breakout" may not be impossible, but is it really so optimistic?
"Forerunner" is a spy war drama co-starring Zhang Luyi and Nie Yuan, according to the film's revelations, the story has borrowed the content of "Latent", which can be regarded as a very distinctive spy war drama. But somehow, the drama seems to be in a hurry to go online, no publicity or even Baidu entry has not had time to do, it hastily met with the audience, and hurry seems to become the label of "The Forerunner".
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > well-made</h1>
It is undeniable that the production of "The Forerunner" is indeed very good, the details are also in place, it can be regarded as a conscience drama, the sense of picture filmed is also very good, the most feared thing about a drama is that the production is rough, and even the best acting skills will sometimes be dim under the limited production.
Director Gong Chaohui directed "Patriot" in 2018, starring Zhang Luyi, which is the second cooperation between the two, and the tacit understanding is still relatively high.
However, the "Patriot" Douban score is not high, if Gong Chaohui continues to maintain such a state, the situation of "The Forerunner" is estimated to be not very optimistic, but for now, the overall feeling is still very good, at least from the director, production is not too big a problem.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the actor is very good</h1>
The starring side continues to use old friend Zhang Luyi as the main actor, and other familiar old faces such as Nie Yuan, Han Xue, Cao Weiyu, Huo Qing, Zheng Luoqian, Lu Gongzhen, Du Gonghai, Wang Cong, Zhao Yang, Zhang Fan and other familiar old faces are foiled, without much problem.
In the play, whether it is the starring Zhang Luyi, Nie Yuan or the supporting roles played by friendship, they all perform very well, such as Director Chen Hengli and his subordinates, the hotel owner's wife, etc., which has the feeling of the 1930s.
Although Zhang Luyi's work reputation in recent years is general, his acting skills are still very good, because it is a spy drama, the acting skills are more stringent, and the acting skills of the actors in the whole drama are at least not obvious to the present.
Not only that, Tang Xianping, played by Nie Yuan, gave the audience a bright feeling, accurate judgment, superhuman memory and ability to analyze problems, becoming a terrifying opponent in the play.
Some people even said that Tang Xianping was even more changeable than the Seven Nights of the Demon King!
Although there is no problem in terms of production and actors, it is still more difficult to counterattack "Breakout".
Although the production is well-made and the actors' acting skills are no problem, this does not mean that "The Forerunner" will become a hit and counterattack "Breakout", and the reasons for this are in these aspects:
(1) The plot connection is not good
This is actually obvious in the play, many viewers choose to leave after watching a few episodes, not because the actor's acting skills are awkward, but because there is a problem with the plot connection, and the spy drama loses tension and suspense, basically it is a failure.
Although many people say that "Latent" also has such a problem, if you compare the two dramas, you will find that "Latent" is based on strong logical reasoning and cleverly implemented, which "The Forerunner" obviously "plagiarized failure", logical reasoning does not work, and even a few feelings are the brain's hot impulses.
(2) There are many loopholes
For example, the opening "second uncle" Pan Mingyue, a surname Tang, a surname Pan, and later explained, Tang Xianping was raised by Yu Duxing, is Yu Duxing's righteous son, then this Pan Mingyue is a bug, and for example, Chen Lieming has left from the sewer, why do you still pretend to be a driver, why do you still have to leave a living mouth after the two are fainted.
There are actually many such loopholes, some things seem to be able to do this, but for the sake of the plot, forcibly changed the way of thinking, let people have a deliberate aura of feeling, resulting in very uncomfortable when watching, many people after watching a few episodes, dissuaded.
(3) The story line is simple
Many people have to ask, is this still called simple?
In fact, if you carefully recall, there is actually nothing brain-burning in it, espionage and suspense are won by burning brains, but in fact, "The Forerunner" seems to be brain-burning, but in fact, it does not need your analysis.
There is a saying called "master over the move, see the trick to dismantle the move", but in fact, in "The Forerunner", it is more like a small clip of a comprehensive edit, which does not require you to analyze, and is placed on the surface.
For example, "Chen Lie was exposed, Hong Kong dialect, Hong Kong people", at the beginning he said that he could not find it, and then after the retrial, suddenly came a pure Hong Kong person, or Chen Lie's "hometown", it is so magical, where did people come from? What identity? There was no need to explain, he just came.
Another example is Pei Ruhai, such a person who even takes pictures is strictly restricted, Ma Tianmu simply saw it, referring to "Latent" Yuan Peilin, compared to Pei Ruhai, the status is much lower, but such a person is so strictly protected, even a unit of people do not know where.
Compared with this, "The Forerunner" is much simpler, the routine is "I doubt you - you have a problem - I have found the answer" is very straightforward, there is no such nervous spy atmosphere, such a plot can not retain people.
(4) There is no publicity, and the appeal of actors is general
If you want to counterattack "Breakout", not only the quality of the work is good, the most important thing is the appeal, in this regard, "The Forerunner" has no advantage at all, and it is completely powerless.
You look at the banner of "Breakout", "what anti-corruption, state-owned enterprise reform, actors Jin Dong, Yan Ni, Huang Zhizhong brotherhood and sisterhood, etc." are the hottest people or the most concerned topics in recent years.
On the contrary, on the side of "The Forerunner", Zhang Luyi and Nie Yuan are not high in appeal, and the only estimate that there is still some appeal is Han Xue, and the plot of "spy war" has been dissuaded a lot at a glance, and the topic of spy war in recent years has long been played badly, and the works generally under the name of "spy war" are basically bad films.
Therefore, unless the quality of the work is superior, relying on word of mouth counterattack, wanting to rely on publicity counterattack, basically hopeless, but the reputation of "The Forerunner" is polarized, it is impossible to have a high score, personal inference, and finally to about 7.5 is already the best expectation.
Such a work, wanting to counterattack the hottest work of the moment, is simply a fantasy.
As a person who watches two works at the same time, the quality of the work I still think that "The Forerunner" is better, the theme of "Breakout" is better, the plot is half a pound and eight two, there are problems, one is the plot is small white, one is the plot procrastination, the parents are short all day, if I have to choose the best one, I am still willing to choose "The Forerunner".
